Aru really drank too much plum wine, and there was a sour taste in his words.
He shook the thing, pulled up his pants, and said with a red face: "Since she has said it, then Brother Yang, I will... not hide it anymore. Yes... I am planning to open a milk tea shop, the one diagonally opposite our theater."
Lai Yang fastened his belt, reached out to pick up the cigarette from the corner of his mouth and flicked it, frowning.
That milk tea shop does good business, and Yuan Shengda often visits it. But why was it taken over by Aru when they were doing so well
"That store is for sale?"
"Well... something happened at home and the boss needed money urgently, so he decided to sell it out. It just so happened that... I saw it a few days ago and talked about it. I thought it was pretty good... And Brother Yang..."
Alu leaned against the bathroom wall, speaking intermittently with a drunken face.
"Sheng Da has nothing to do besides performing. After this shop opens, she will have a place to work. I've calculated that the shop can make an average of more than 30,000 yuan in turnover per month, which is enough. We can run it for another year or so, and when it stabilizes, we can hire someone... Then, I want to take her out to play."
The more Lai Yang listened, the more worried he became. The milk tea shop was doing good business, but a monthly income of 30,000 was still exaggerated. After all, the shop was very small, less than six or seven square meters, and people could only buy and take away.
Also, where did Aru get the money to open the store
"Aru, I think you should be more cautious about this matter. How about this, when you sober up tomorrow, we can talk about it in detail."
Lai Yang was about to help him out, but Alu leaned back and raised his finger to ask for a cigarette.
Lai Yang took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and helped to light it. Aru took a sip.
"Brother Yang, now that we're talking about this... I also happen to have something that I need your help with."
A'lu seemed to be more sober now. He looked at the dazed Lai Yang and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't borrow money from you... Haha, look how scared you are."
"Why am I so scared? I'm waiting for you to speak!"
"Okay... Brother Yang, this is what I was thinking. After I took over, I was also worried that there wouldn't be enough customers, so can we make a package deal, where the ticket to the show includes a cup of milk tea, and then we raise the price of the ticket."
"… "
This time, Lai Yang was really stunned.
The kind of bundling sales he mentioned has actually happened in Laiyang before.
Before Yuan Shengda came to Shanghai, he and Li Dian went to perform in bars and had this kind of package.
.
The result is very disgusting to consumers!
Because most of the people who come to see the show are couples, and these people have been out for fun, and the last activity in the evening is to see the show.
So basically everyone already has a drink in their hands, and asking them to buy more, even if they spend very little money, is considered redundant in their eyes.
So later Laiyang made a separate exclusive ticket in addition to the package ticket, so the package ticket became useless again.
"We will discuss this issue in detail tomorrow."
After Lai Yang finished speaking, the smile on Alu's face faded a little. He took a deep puff of his cigarette and nodded.
"Brother Yang, I didn't tell you that I know you definitely don't support it... But don't worry, even if the store is opened, it won't affect my Harmony Grand Performance..."
“That’s not what I meant.”
"Let's not talk about this for now... You may not be right, and I may not be wrong..."
Alu paused, his eyes flashed, and he looked up at Laiyang.
"In fact, that night, the noise was so loud... I went along the two streets near the theater and asked every shop owner if they had seen you... I knew... that she actually liked you more in her heart. Haha... But it's okay, I will also make achievements and prove to her that I am... no worse than you, Brother Yang... Brother Yang, don't worry about the milk tea shop, just wish us the best."
Alu held on to the wall and walked unsteadily.
Lai Yang stood there in a daze, the noise was deafening.
After thinking for a long time, I realized that the night Aru was talking about was the night when I had low blood sugar and was taken back to the house by Tian Jing...
At that time, Yuan Shengda actually... came to me like this
The ceiling light in the toilet was shrouded in smoke and looked very psychedelic, but what was even more psychedelic was the emotions that were vaguely stirring in Lai Yang's heart.
After leaving the courtyard, everyone was a little dizzy from drinking. Yuan Shengda was standing on a bench with one foot, playing finger-guessing games with Song Wen, smiling with red lips and white teeth. A gust of night wind blew, blowing her long hair and also blowing her gaze...
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Yunlu and Song Wen also made a round trip from their hometown and returned to the theater. They announced that their wedding date would be June 9th, and asked everyone to make time to serve as best men and bridesmaids.
For this reason, Yunlu specifically counted on his fingers and told Laiyang that there would need to be four bridesmaids, Sister Sheng, Qianying, and her elementary school classmate. Now the only one missing...
Laiyang has a big head.
During these three days, he sent several messages to Tian Jing, but she didn't reply to any of them and didn't answer her calls.
But she was not really angry. The theater resumed performances tonight. After Lai Yang sent her a group photo, Tian Jing finally replied with congratulations.
… …
In addition to Tian Jing, there are two other things that have been giving Lai Yang a headache these days. One is the issue of reserve actors. After the show with a thousand people ended, many fans were indeed interested and said they wanted to come and learn.
But most people have their own jobs, and the little time they spend out of their busy schedules cannot allow them to quickly become an actor who can perform on stage, which is very worrying.
The development of the theater has currently reached a bottleneck period.
Unable to expand, we can only reap the dividends after the event reaches thousands of people.
But after Du Xi and his team finish their performances for thousands of people, it becomes a question whether the small theater can sell out every night.
In addition to his career, what also worries Lai Yang is the milk tea shop that Aru is going to open.
He had a chat with Yuan Shengda, and the total cost of this store, including the transfer fee and equipment fee, would be 220,000 yuan.
This only includes two months' rent, and the rent must be paid directly to the landlord after two months.
Xujiahui rents 18.17 yuan per square meter per day. The building area is 9 square meters, but the actual area is estimated to be only 7 square meters. However, the monthly rent is 4,905 yuan...
This is not a small amount of money. Yuan Shengda said that the money was taken from Alu's family.
Regarding this matter, Yuan Shengda said that he did not support it very much, but Aru insisted and she had no reason to object because she did not understand.
Moreover, in Yuan Shengda's opinion, a man should venture into the society. Even if he gets beaten to a pulp, it is better than doing nothing.
Just like when Laiyang first had to borrow money to open a theater...
There was no other way, Lai Yang could only ask Qianying to inquire about this store first. After all, she was an agent and could still find out the basic information.
…
Overall, tonight's reopening performance was pretty good.
But when the show was over, many audience members took photos with the actors, but one male audience member sat in the corner, taking pictures of the four walls of the theater with his mobile phone camera.
Lai Yang on the stage was immediately puzzled when he saw this scene, and walked off the stage...
"Dude, what are you filming?"
"… "
