Liang Liang was confident in giving out the money and wasn't worried that they would abscond with it.
If they run away with a mere two hundred yuan, they'll never amount to anything in their lives.
The members of the Three-Legged Cats band left the Ocean Cabaret to tidy up their image.
They will be starting their performance at the Maritime Ballroom tomorrow.
"Han Chui! Take a few employees to make a banner ad or something, saying that starting today, the Blue Shark Band will be performing at the Haiyun Dance Hall."
Now that the dance hall is owned by the owner, generating more economic benefits has become the top priority.
To generate more economic benefits, the Blue Shark band's brand name will play a significant role and must be utilized.
With the Blue Shark Band performing live, the business at the Ocean Shipping Ballroom shouldn't be too bad.
Liang Liang's prediction was absolutely correct. The Blue Shark band's popularity greatly increased due to the huge sales of their album. Moreover, since Blue Shark was a band that originated from Lianwan City, they gained even more recognition and support from the people of Lianwan City.
As a result, the Maritime Ballroom was packed with people that evening.
The long-time employees at the dance hall all say that the Haiyun Dance Hall has not been full for a long time; in the past, it usually only had two or three hundred people.
Today, the Ocean Shipping Ballroom, which can accommodate 570 people, is packed to capacity, with people outside unable to get in because they couldn't buy tickets.
Seeing this grand occasion, Liang Liang had the idea of holding a concert in Lianwan City.
Tonight, the Haiyun Dance Hall earned nearly six thousand yuan just from ticket sales.
Being a boss is indeed a very promising job.
Although the Triangle Cats band will not officially start work until tomorrow, they still came to the Ocean Shipping Ballroom tonight.
Everyone used the two hundred yuan Liang Liang gave them to tidy themselves up inside and out, and finally looked presentable.
They came to the Ocean Shipping Ballroom with a learning attitude. Blue Shark Band is, after all, a band that has released albums and is still selling well, so there are naturally things they can learn from them.
The Blue Shark band really showed their true talent on stage that night, performing almost all of their songs.
The Ocean Jet Ballroom was transformed into a rock concert, with most of the audience standing and shouting, not even worried about getting a headache the next morning.
The members of the Three-Legged Cats band were deeply moved.
In the rock scene of Lianwan City, their band is considered an outlier. The music they like is somewhat out of step with the mainstream, and they are sometimes rejected by others.
But after watching Blue Shark's performance today, they felt relieved. It wasn't them who were out of step with the mainstream; Blue Shark was the real rebel, completely detached from the mainstream rock scene.
However, Blue Shark's songs are indeed more down-to-earth and don't have as many obscure elements, making them easier for ordinary people to accept.
In one night, the amount spent on song requests and tips exceeded ten thousand yuan.
Even if the nightclub takes half, each member of the band will still have a thousand yuan left.
The dance hall takes half of the song request tips, plus nearly six thousand yuan in ticket revenue, plus drinks and pastries…
When Liang Liang saw the daily account of the nightclub at one o'clock in the morning, he was quite surprised.
The gross income from ticket sales, song requests, tips, drinks, and pastries totaled several thousand yuan.
These revenues contain almost no costs related to ticket sales and performances.
The only cost is in the drinks and pastries. Even with that, the dance hall's net income tonight is around 15,000 to 16,000.
Holy crap! Running a nightclub is so profitable!
Earning 15,000 to 16,000 a day would amount to more than 5 million a year.
What kind of band is this?!
Liang Liang felt that being a boss was more practical than running a band, so he was preparing to shift his main focus to running the nightclub and use the money earned from the nightclub to develop and support the rock music scene in Lianwan City.
But reality slapped him in the face the very next day.
At 1 p.m. the next day, a group of people entered Haiyun Karaoke.
Liang Liang was in the rehearsal room exchanging band experiences with the members of the Sanjiaomao band when a shop assistant rushed in to tell him that the fire department had come to inspect.
With the year-end approaching, it's quite normal for many departments to come down for inspections and try to make some shady deals.
As the person in charge of the Haiyun Dance Hall, Liang Liang naturally had to accompany these old men for the inspection.
However, his smile did not earn him a smile in return. The firefighters all had a businesslike demeanor, which left Liang Liang feeling cold and unwelcome.
If entertainment venues like nightclubs are strictly inspected, none of them will be 100% qualified.
The Maritime Ballroom was no exception; Liang Liang hadn't had time to check these details after taking over.
That's great, you don't need to check it yourself anymore, someone else has already checked it for you!
The punishment wasn't too severe: a ten-day suspension of business and a fine of 500 yuan!
If the business fails to meet the standards again, the fine will be doubled and the business will be suspended for one month.
Liang Liang didn't take the 500 yuan fine seriously, but the ten-day business suspension was a death sentence.
This dance hall can earn tens of thousands of yuan a day, but if it closes for ten days, it will lose more than 100,000 yuan.
Liang Liang's attempts to play the victim and act pitiful were all in vain; the dance hall was ultimately ordered to undergo rectification within a specified period.
Liang Liang sat in her office, processing the whole situation.
The team leader said they came after receiving a report that the Haiyun Dance Hall had safety hazards.
This issue needs to be verified.
It's not that Liang Liang has a dark side; he simply lacks trust in law enforcement officers from the 1990s.
But even verification requires finding someone useful.
Zheng Tuo had built the network of relationships at the dance hall before, and he hadn't had much contact with it. Now, he couldn't even find anyone he wanted to contact.
Go find Zheng Tuo?
He rejected the idea as soon as it came to mind.
Even if the two sides haven't completely fallen out, they're practically strangers now. Going to him would be like slapping yourself in the face, wouldn't it?
Besides, if the report is true, how do you know it wasn't him who made the report?
Those who knew about the safety hazards at the Haiyun Dance Hall were mostly elderly people there; Liang Liang had no idea that the Haiyun Dance Hall had so many safety risks.
Zheng Tuo definitely knew, and if he knew, it's possible that he was the one who reported him.
Even if he wasn't the one who reported it, there's still his wife!
Therefore, we must absolutely not go to Zheng Tuo.
But if not Zheng Tuo, who else should we look for?
I can't just recklessly run to the fire chief's house, can I?
Not only can you not find the door yourself, but even if you do find it, whether they'll let you in is another matter entirely.
There must be a middleman in this.
Liang Liang thought about Han Chui. This guy couldn't possibly know many people on this line. Give him another two years and maybe he can sort out all the troubles. Right now, he's not much better than him.
It seems I'll need to get to know more people in the future.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you won't be able to find anyone to act as a go-between.
Liang Liang thought for a long time but couldn't think of anyone to ask. Frustrated, she spilled her water glass, leaving water all over the table.
When you're down on your luck, even drinking water can cause problems; you can't even find a dishcloth.
Liang Liang casually picked up a newspaper and used it to wipe the water off the table.
But he stopped after wiping it a couple of times, his eyes fixed on the newspaper in his hand.
He remembered someone.
