Chapter 174 Great Success
Deyun Club’s performance was very successful!
Even Wang Deyun, who came with the intention of finding fault, couldn't stop laughing.
Especially the crosstalk performed by Cao Yunjin and the skit performed by the couple named Xiao Liaoyang, which made people cry.
However, speaking of singing and acting.
The most outstanding performance was by Jacky Cheung and his son, especially the elder one who was nearly 50 years old, with his hoarse voice, and he sang with tears in his eyes.
Moreover, he taught himself to play various musical instruments and was very good at it.
The only regrettable thing is that Shanzhong Xiucai, the founder of Deyun Club and the originator of the new school of imperial art, failed to arrive at the performance.
Otherwise, I don’t know what kind of climax will be created.
Wang Deyun feels that with the success of Deyun Club's performances, this new way of performing will quickly seize the entertainment market of the Sui Empire like wildfire.
Then, the money earned will be at a massive level.
Taking the current Deyun Club as an example, 2000 people multiplied by an average of 40000 copper coins, each show would be 40 coins, or taels of silver.
Two shows a day would mean 80 taels of silver. After deducting a little from the tickets that may not have been sold out, the ticket revenue for a day would be around to taels of silver.
So in a year, that would be nearly 30,000 taels of silver.
This is not just the ticket money. The other tips are much higher than the ticket revenue.
For example, on the opening day, we received thousands of flower baskets as rewards.
The Deyun Club also does not collect money directly, just like when a brothel selects its courtesans. Instead, they call out names on the stage and ask who presents a certain number of flower baskets in recognition of who's performance.
In addition, there are two types of flower baskets in Deyun Club.
One is a silver flower basket that is worth one or two taels of silver.
One is a golden flower basket that is worth one or two taels of gold.
This allows people of all kinds of identities to express their love and appreciation for their favorite artists or performances.
Like today, Prince Heng presented hundreds of golden flower baskets.
Then, other officials and wealthy people, led by Prince Heng, presented gold and silver flower baskets of varying numbers.
Among them, Luo Zhixiang, the son of Panchen Luo, who had caused trouble at Jun Youlai Restaurant some time ago, was the most excited.
All in all, hundreds of gold and silver flower baskets were given away.
Among them, the boy gave ten pairs of golden flower baskets to Xiao Shenyang and his wife, who were his favorites.
In the end, even Wang Deyun himself gave out more than a dozen gold and silver flower baskets in this fanatical atmosphere.
Afterwards, Wang Deyun secretly thought about it.
My God, the gold and silver flower baskets that Deyun Club received for its opening today must be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.
It’s just that this might be the first day of opening, so everyone is giving us some face and support.
But in the future, even if we receive one-tenth of these flower baskets every day, it will be a huge sum of money.
No wonder Sun Shan only paid a few cents for the ticket.
They may not care about the few cents from common people at all, they just want to increase their popularity.
After thinking it all through, Wang Deyun gritted his teeth.
I feel that Deyun Club, which takes its name from itself, is a silkworm that lays golden eggs, and I must get them no matter what.
Or, you can open a Deyunshe.
Anyway, my name is Deyun, and there is a little difference between "德" and "德".
With this in mind, Wang Deyun watched the entire performance with a calculating look on his face.
The more I watched, the happier I became, but the more frightened I became.
Because he discovered that Deyun Club makes money in more ways than just this.
For example, while everyone was watching, he provided snacks and tea, as well as small items such as waist bags, paper fans with their logo, etc.
Don’t underestimate this business; you don’t make much money from it, but you make a lot of it.
And it is needed in every game.
The employees of Deyun Club are very satisfied, and the hundreds of rickshaw pullers led by Li Lianxue are also very satisfied.
Today is also the day when the transportation agency officially opens for business.
They opened quietly in the morning amid the celebrations of shareholders.
Originally people thought the business might not be very prosperous, but unexpectedly, with the opening of Deyun Club, all seven or eight hundred rickshaw pullers were snatched away.
Yes, it is true. The rickshaw designed by Sun Shan can carry two or three people and has a parasol on the roof to block the wind and rain. It can take you to any corner of the city at a fast or slow speed according to the needs of the customers.
Moreover, the charges are very reasonable.
Compared to the slow old ox carts of the past, this rickshaw is not only comfortable, but also several times faster.
Driven by money, the rickshaw pullers only need to pay a certain contract fee every month, and the rest belongs to them. They pull rickshaws faster than rabbits.
This is thanks to the money raised from the last charity dinner, which allowed the entire Hengzhou City road to be basically repaired.
The main streets are all paved with smooth bluestone slabs.
The alleys are also paved with gravel.
This means that even a rickshaw without bearings can be pulled very fast.
In particular, when a rickshaw with a bell hanging on it passes through the bluestone road, the "clacking" sound of the wheels rolling over the street and the crisp sound of the bells are like a pleasant piece of music.
If it is early morning or late at night, you can tell there are rickshaws passing by from a very far distance away.
The rickshaw drivers of the transport company all wore work clothes and cloth shoes distributed by Datong Chamber of Commerce.
The only difference is that each club’s clothes have different colors.
For example, the security team and the law enforcement team wore pure black, while the transportation agency wore indigo blue. Then, the words "Datong Security" and "Datong Transportation" were embroidered on their chests and backs.
The work clothes were designed by Sun Shan himself, combining the Zhongshan suit of a thousand years later with the characteristics of this era, and consist of two pieces, upper and lower.
There is an exposed pocket on each side of the outside of the shirt, and a hidden pocket inside that can be used to carry valuable items.
As for the pants, Sun Shan combined the Zhongshan suit and overalls, designing them to be looser and have more pockets to facilitate team members' training or running work.
It looks very novel, fashionable and practical.
The transport agency, the security group, and the newly established special operations law enforcement team are all integrated into one defense.
When they are in charge of transportation on the streets, they will report to their superiors or headquarters at any time what they see or hear along the way.
It was as if seven or eight hundred flowing ears and eyes were scattered across Hengzhou City.
Sure enough, after receiving their report, the law enforcement team found two suspected bandit dens in succession.
Sun Ziyong was one of the ten captains of the law enforcement team. He brought 100 brothers to the remote Mawangtai. After repeated confirmation, he shouted to the excited team members behind him in a low voice: "Brothers, our chance to make a fortune has come. We don't need to capture them alive. We will kill one if there is one. Each head will be taels of silver!"
After saying this, he quickly added: "Remember, the kills and rewards are evenly distributed to each team member in the team. We are a collective organization. We don't need individual heroes. Everything is aimed at destroying the enemy!"
"Everyone remember the various rules of the society. You are not allowed to act privately or take things privately. The society will record all the things that are due to you. Don't take even a penny that is not due to you."
After giving the instructions, Sun Ziyong's sharp eyes swept across everyone's faces: "Wait, do you understand?"
Sun Ziyong is not very old, only sixteen or seventeen years old.
Compared with the members of the Sun family and the Zhang family, they are not only younger but also of lower generation.
But everyone knows what his relationship is with the founder Sun Shan.
They grew up together wearing open-crotch pants and went to school together.
Some time ago, he saved Consultant Sun once with his own life.
Even though the life could not be saved, the efforts made by the people were there.
Everyone is not a fool and knows that the status of this young Sun Ziyong in Datong Chamber of Commerce in the future will definitely be immeasurable.
Naturally, everyone agreed in a deep voice.
"That's good to know. I'm doing this for everyone's own good. I hope everyone can have a long-term vision. I hope that under the leadership of Consultant Sun, we can achieve greater success in the future, and you can also reach a higher position!"
After saying these encouraging words, Sun Ziyong waved his arm and said, "Follow me!"
Then, he took the lead and rushed towards the closed door.
