After a minute of silence, Zheng Tuo's voice came again.
"Xiao Liang! It's been about six months since we met, hasn't it?"
"A few days less! It shouldn't be more than half a month."
"Six months may not be enough to fully understand a person, but it can give you a general idea. You should have some idea of what kind of person Brother Zheng is. Do you think Brother Zheng would do something like this?"
“I wouldn’t do it! But just because you wouldn’t do something like this doesn’t mean your ex-wife wouldn’t. I strongly suspect she did it, and she’s done it more than once. She’s reported the Haiyun Dance Hall at least five times. I can tolerate it once or twice, but if she’s constantly picking on me like it’s her job, Brother Zheng, I have to fight back. The reason I’m calling you is to give you a heads-up, out of respect for our past relationship, and hopefully you can keep your ex-wife’s mouth shut.”
Zheng Tuo was silent for a moment: "Okay! I'll talk to her about it!"
“Brother Zheng! Although we’ve parted ways now, I still hope we can remain friends in the future. Even if we’re not the closest of friends, just being ordinary friends is better than becoming rivals or enemies.”
"Don't worry, Xiao Liang! I'm not... Sigh! How did things turn out like this?"
Why things turned out this way is not the issue Liang Liang wants to discuss today.
Strictly speaking, Liang Liang was still somewhat grateful to Zheng Tuo's ex-wife.
Without his meddling and interference, the Ocean Shipping Ballroom wouldn't have fallen into his lap.
If Tao Yanhong stops her foul talk now, he will not pursue the matter further.
If you lose 10,000 or 20,000, just consider it as if you didn't make any profit.
After hanging up the phone, Liang Liang felt a little relieved.
At 3:30 p.m., the workers finished the work that Liang Liang had asked them to do.
After checking their records, Liang Liang settled their bill.
At this point, the safety hazards of the maritime dance hall... well, not all of them, but at least the surface-level safety hazards have all been eliminated.
If there are any hidden dangers, they are only related to the power supply lines, which are related to the original design when the house was built, and there is no way to make major modifications for the time being.
If you don't want others to find fault with you, you have to be flawless, so that even if someone comes to examine you, they can't find anything wrong with you.
As night fell, Liang Liang's worries proved to be completely unnecessary, and nothing else caused her any trouble.
While he was worried, he was also thinking about something else.
That afternoon, in the studio of a theater in Xianggang, the launch ceremony for an album began in a rather unpretentious atmosphere.
Mayday's album "Believe in Yourself" has been released.
Liang Liang had already informed Yu Lingling over the phone that he was currently managing a nightclub and didn't have time to attend Mayday's album release ceremony, expressing his apologies.
Jinmeng Company has been launching a large-scale promotional campaign for this album recently. Although the album is called "Believe in Yourself", the main single is actually "General's Order", the second single is "Stubborn", followed by "Believe in Yourself", "Love Manual", "Crazy Time" and "The Look of Love", etc.
Liang Liang meant that the album should be named after a "love manual".
However, it seems that the people at Jinmeng Company didn't take this song too seriously. The fact that "Love Manual" was ranked fifth shows Jinmeng Company's attitude towards this song.
Jinmeng Company's promotional focus is on "General's Order" and "Believe in Yourself".
The two songs were put on the charts and did quite well, one reaching number eight and the other number eleven.
After the release ceremony, the album began to enter the market through the Golden Alliance Company's channels.
The album "Believe in Yourself" was a sensation when it hit the market, with sales as high as a burst dam.
Tens of thousands of copies were shipped in just one afternoon, and by the third day of the album's release, its sales in Hong Kong had reached platinum status.
Jinmeng Company was both delighted and surprised.
The fact that a purely Mandarin album could achieve platinum sales in such a short time in Hong Kong, a city where Cantonese is popular, was a pleasant surprise to them.
This speed is almost as fast as the shipping speed of "Hometown".
Surprisingly, the song that climbed the charts the fastest wasn't their favorites, "Believe in Yourself" and "General's Order," but rather a song called "Love Manual."
This song, featuring slow motion in both hands, skyrocketed to the top of the charts just three days after the album's release and has remained there ever since.
This made the people at Jinmeng Company regret their decision. Why didn't they listen to Liang Liang's arrangement and use this song as the album title?
The album was also released by Pacific Audio-Visual Company the day after its release in Hong Kong.
When Liu Wen named this album, he took Liang Liang's opinion into full consideration, and the mainland version was named "Love Manual".
On the day of its release in mainland China, "The Love Manual" surpassed the sales volume in Hong Kong, and three days later it broke through 100,000 copies.
This caused Pacific to postpone the release of its Ocean Waves album, which was originally scheduled for the 16th, because the tape pressing speed could not keep up.
We can only let the album by Hailanghua make way.
This somewhat disrupted Pacific's distribution plan, as there was less than a month left before the 1994 Spring Festival, making the timeframe a bit rushed.
At this time, Blue Shark Band's album "Hometown" had only been released for a little over twenty days.
In the span of twenty days, the mainland version of "My Hometown" sold tens of thousands of copies every day, and now has accumulated sales of over 700,000 copies.
Sales in Hong Kong and Taiwan have exceeded 400,000 copies, and with sales in Southeast Asian Chinese-speaking regions, the total sales of "Hometown" have exceeded one million.
Therefore, on the third day after the release of Mayday's album, Liang Liang was wondering whether he should settle the pink fee for the album.
When the money comes back, it's a huge sum of over a million, enough for each member of the band to buy a car worth less than 300,000.
Zheng Tuo must have said something to Tao Yanhong, because in the past three days, there have been no more deliberate targeted inspections by government departments at the Haiyun Dance Hall.
In fact, apart from fire safety, the Haiyun Karaoke Bar has all the necessary permits in terms of business, taxation, and culture, and there is no evidence of tax evasion. So what is there to check?
Therefore, without the messy fire safety issues, the Ocean Jet Lounge also avoided other troubles.
Xing Chenghu has officially become a security guard at the Haiyun Dance Hall, and he has also recruited three strong young men from his village to form the security force for the Haiyun Dance Hall.
The nightclub is a place of trouble, and Liang Liang must have the power to maintain safety. This power must also continue to grow stronger, at least to the point of being able to contend with small and medium-sized social groups.
