In the field of moonshining, Dulin is now considered the first person. He has not made any coercive actions to stop the private unlicensed breweries, nor has he killed them all through violent and cruel means. He just distributed part of the benefits to another group of strong and aggressive people. Prompted by the benefits, these strong people took the initiative to stand up for Dulin and help him achieve what he wanted to do. .
Now in the moonshining industry, there are two situations when it comes to Dulin. The first situation is also the most common situation, and that is to keep silent. No one knows if there are any Dulin people around them, or those Guarts whose ears are so long that they can almost touch the moon. What if they or other stupid companions say something that is not respectful? It's really not worth it if people from the hometown association show up.
Therefore, most of the time, the name Dulin is the most taboo word for these bootlegging merchants and channel dealers who are not from the Dulin Group.
The second situation is the worship of Chi Guoguo. Young people are more willing to worship their peers. They completely admire Du Lin and even think that if they have the chance, they can become a winner in life like Du Lin. There are also some people who want to follow Du Lin, but it is a pity that the middle and lower levels of Du Lin's interest group are all Guarts. Only the new big capitalists who join can not pay attention to their status.
But there is one thing that these people should pay attention to and admire, that is, for the Guarts in Dulin's interest group, no matter what their status or class, Dulin defines them as "family", while those big capitalists are just His partner!
Such a legendary figure will naturally arouse the curiosity and fanatical admiration of some peers. As long as Dulin is involved in any business, everyone is willing to follow his rules of the game.
Admire him and fear him.
As he spoke, the scene on the stage changed slightly. The girls from the primitive tribes bowed with sweat and thanked them, and left the stage with their greasy bodies. The guests in the audience were somewhat unforgettable. These girls were so pitiful. Some people took the initiative to ask the waiter to contact the girls on their behalf, intending to help them financially after the incident.
The programs in the bar are not always those that are close to the people, but also some elegant ones. Moreover, the way for such a high-end bar to make money is not to let those skilled women and young ladies who sweat easily come on stage to scratch their itches. So childish. They have infinitely improved the style of the bar in order to make money from other aspects, such as drinks, services, pastries and even simple meals, which are all profitable projects.
A steak that costs two yuan at most outside can cost eight yuan here. Don’t think it’s too expensive, this is already the cheapest simple meal.
About five minutes later, a woman wearing a royal blue sparkling floor-length dress walked onto the stage. The moment she appeared, many people in the bar cheered and whistled one after another.
Du Lin looked at the excited agent beside him strangely and asked, "Is this woman famous?"
The agent was stunned for a moment and immediately explained, "Her name is Celine. She is currently the most popular singer in the Empire. At the Empire Art Golden Melody Awards that ended in October, she won the trophy for Best Female Pop Vocalist..."
As the agent explained, Du Lin gradually understood, isn't he a singer? Of course, this singer is a little different from those academic singers. She was born in Yeluzi. Her family is a very "ordinary" farming and herding family, with a farm and a pasture. When she was a child, she often rode cows and sang in the pasture. After attending school for three years, the war broke out and she had to return home to help her parents and brother with farm work.
After the war, about two or three years ago, several buyers from the imperial capital heard her singing when they came to her family's farm to negotiate a large deal. They then recommended her to a record company, and she made her debut immediately.
Her ethereal voice has the power to penetrate people's souls, and she soon became popular and was known as a soul singer. However, because she did not go to a specialized art school and did not have an outstanding family background, she was always rejected by the Empire Art Golden Melody Award. Until this year, a large number of fans marched and protested outside the office of the Imperial Arts Golden Melody Awards Organizing Committee, and a few old guys spoke up, allowing her to get the trophy, completely detonating the entire music scene, and even the federal side continued to have Invitations were sent to the empire, inviting her to perform live performances and hold concerts.
As far as the current market price is concerned, the price of Celine's appearance has risen to 20,000 yuan, and she only sings one song!
Du Lin couldn't help but shook his head after hearing this. This is actually a manifestation of economic recovery. When people can fill their stomachs and don't need to worry about being frozen, they will start to think of ways to waste the money in their pockets. Use that little money to pursue spiritual enjoyment. He heard from Mason that the current wages of workers in Turnell had risen to a minimum of twenty-two dollars from ten to fifteen dollars almost three years ago.
The rapid economic recovery has also brought many disadvantages. The most important but also the most easily overlooked is inflation. People only feel that they have more money in their pockets than in the past, thus ignoring that the money may actually be worth it. Not as valuable as it used to be. In the past, a glass of liquor in a bar only cost about one yuan, but now you can't drink it without two or three yuan. In a high-end bar like this, a glass of high-alcohol wine costs about four yuan, which is actually very distorted.
As Celine took the stage, the bar quickly fell silent. The moment she opened her mouth, it seemed as if a special force pierced everyone's eardrums and reached the depths of their souls! That kind of ethereal and clear voice instantly took every guest who heard her singing out of this "small" bar, to the endless prairie, and flew up to the boundless sky.
It makes people feel like they are between heaven and earth, and they can reach out and embrace the whole world!
Du Lin closed his eyes, and the voice continued to echo in his body until the song slowly ended, leaving an aftertaste that was irresistible.
He finally understood that being able to earn 20,000 yuan by singing a song was not a disease of the market, but that there were indeed people worth this price.
He slowly opened his eyes. The thirty-one or twelve-year-old woman on the stage smiled and bowed slightly, but did not leave the stage immediately. People couldn't help but look forward to her singing another song.
At this time, a group of young people happened to go up the stairs on the side of the gate to the private room on the second floor. The private room here is actually a larger booth, usually with thirty-five seats, four large tables, and four Small square one-legged table. A young man looked at Celine on the stage in surprise, and a look of regret suddenly appeared on his face, "We are late, Celine has already sang!"
The other young people immediately regretted that they came a little slower. Today, there were not many cars on the street as usual, but cars were everywhere. On the first day of the New Year, many people will definitely choose to leave their homes and go out for a walk on this special night. Some shopping malls are also offering discounts. After being stuck in traffic for ten minutes, I didn’t expect that I missed the most important show!
At this time, a young man with black hair smiled and reassured everyone, "It's okay, I'll discuss it with her and see if we can sing another song!" As he said that, he asked everyone to sit down and left with the waiter. room.
His father is a tobacco merchant. A few years ago, the tobacco industry was an industry that could barely fill the stomach. However, with the recovery of the economy in recent years, urban construction has accelerated the expansion of labor demand, and a large number of rural people have Young people move into cities. Losing the place and free time to grow their own tobacco leaves, they switched from growing their own tobacco leaves to buying finished cigarettes, which dramatically boosted the overall tobacco industry market and created a large number of upstart tobacco companies.
The father of this young man named Ramazan is one of them.
This year's net profit has exceeded 7 million, which is the total net income of the past six years, which also gives him the confidence to say this.
It’s nothing more than money, 20,000 yuan per song is not expensive!
Ramazan quickly came to the backstage and explained the situation to the bar manager. The bar manager also agreed with this very much. Anyway, Celine can sing one more song without the bar paying any money, which also promotes the bar. Excellent, he immediately introduced Celine's agent to Ramazan.
Celine's agent is a woman in her forties, with a set of eyes, a bit high cheekbones, and a bit pointed chin. She looks like she is not easy to mess with.
"Hello, madam..." Ramazan stretched out his hand first. The agent glanced at it, reached out casually, shook it, and then parted.
In fact, she dislikes such a place very much. It is chaotic and full of sin, which will have a certain impact on Celine's image. If the bar owner hadn't gotten to know an old man who helped Celine, and the old man had mentioned the matter a little bit, Celine wouldn't have come to sing on such an occasion.
The agent quickly focused on the schedule for the past few days and asked casually, "What do you want?"
Her attitude cannot be said to be good, but it cannot be said to be bad either. Ramazan frowned and said, "I hope to ask Ms. Celine to sing another song. The price is not an issue!"
The agent raised his head slightly and glanced at Ramazan, and smiled, with a sarcastic smile, "Money? Young man, money can't explain anything, and Miss Celine's income is definitely more than you think. This is not money. There is no such clause in the contract, so I can’t agree to it!”
"Thirty thousand, one song, it won't take much time for you and Ms. Celine!"
"Don't you understand what I just said? This is not about money!"
