Now that the woman has left, and Zheng Tuo has said that he doesn't want her back even if she comes back, Liang Liang, feeling sorry for him, arranged a job for him.
At least make sure he has something to eat and doesn't starve.
No matter how bad Zheng Tuo was, he still deserves credit for his own success. If they hadn't been in the same boat back then, he wouldn't have been able to find a foothold in Lianwan City so quickly.
"A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude"—this was Liang Liang's motto in life.
Even though whether Zheng Tuo lived or died after the initial beacon fire was no longer his concern, he couldn't help but feel pity for Zheng Tuo when he saw him in such a sorry state.
Alas! One cannot accomplish great things without a sword in one's heart.
Liang Liang felt like she was someone with no heart, someone who just couldn't bring herself to be ruthless in certain matters.
Take Xiaoqian and Xiaoyao for example. They should have ended things long ago, but whether it's because they're infatuated with each other's beauty or for some other reason, they've dragged it out until now.
As we both grow older, the longer this matter is delayed, the bigger the trouble will become.
There's another Xu Mei over there, glaring at everyone, clearly determined to marry no one but him.
Why can't I just be ruthless and marry them all!
Holy crap! I've never been ruthless before, and the last time I finally did, it's come to this! Isn't this just asking for trouble?!
“I’ve just opened a small theater in Shahe District and I need a manager. How about you go and manage the theater for me? The salary is 900 yuan, plus insurance and a year-end bonus.”
Now the Shahe Small Theater is also under Lan Guifang's management, but the No. 1 Small Theater and the No. 2 Small Theater in Shahe are quite far apart. After all, Lan Guifang is retired, and it's not good for her to keep running back and forth.
Zheng Tuo used to do this kind of work, and you are familiar with this kind of business. Letting him manage this small theater is also a good idea. Sending him there will allow Lan Guifang to focus on managing the Gan Jing Small Theater without having to travel back and forth.
During this performance in Songyang, Liang Liang may choose a location in Songyang to open a small theater as well.
If he opens the door, he'll send Zheng Tuo to Songyang. He can then let him stay in Songyang to avoid running into that woman again.
Liang Liang felt it was better to call the police on that woman and let them investigate whether she was a fraudster. If she was, it would be best to have her undergo re-education inside the facility to prevent her from harming others outside.
Zheng Tuo was still somewhat hesitant about letting Liang Liang manage the small theater.
“Brother Zheng! You don’t think the pay is too low, do you? Right now, whether it’s Yan Liang who’s in charge of the disco, Mu Shuihua who’s in charge of the dance hall, Liu Wen who’s in charge of the audio-visual company, or Aunt Lan who’s in charge of the small theater, their salaries are all around this level. If the performance is good, I’ll give you all a substantial bonus at the end of the year.”
"Xiao Liang! It's not that I think the money is too little, I just feel ashamed to come back and do this and that."
"It's good that you know you care about your reputation, but what's a reputation worth anyway? The key is to learn from experience and not fall into the same trap twice. Nobody here will laugh at you. Tomorrow I'll send someone to take you to the Shahe Small Theater. You can stay there from now on."
This time, Zheng Tuo didn't say anything more.
Including this time, Zheng Tuo has experienced three rises and three falls. Hopefully, this time when he rises, he won't fall again.
After the late-night snack, Liang Liang sent someone to drive Zheng Tuo back to his residence, tidied up his belongings, and took him directly to the Shahe Small Theater.
Anyway, there's a place to sleep there. He can just announce it at the Shahe Small Theater tomorrow.
He then listened to Han Chui's report on the performance of the first stop of the tour that evening.
The performance at Lianwan Station was a great success, with all 40,000 tickets they prepared selling out.
Ticket revenue was 400,000 yuan, and advertising sponsorship was 100,000 yuan, for a total revenue of 500,000 yuan.
The venue rental was 60,000, and after deducting advertising, taxes, labor, and other expenses, the total expenditure was over 180,000.
This would still generate a profit of over 300,000.
This news may seem encouraging, but it is far from being something to celebrate universally.
Don't forget that this is Lianwan City. The people of Lianwan City support their band, and some businesses are willing to sponsor them with tens of thousands of yuan.
However, things change when they're in other places; whether the audience will accept it is uncertain. Even if the audience does accept it, no company will be willing to sponsor them.
When they are in other places, they can only rely on ticket revenue.
That's why Liang Liang said not to be too happy too soon.
After the first performance, Han Chui and his team went to Songyang overnight to prepare for the second show.
Although plans have been made in advance, they can only be implemented at this point.
The main goal is publicity, to let as many people as possible know that the Blue Shark band is going to hold a concert in this city with the least amount of money.
Liang Liang and his group don't need to rush to Songyang. Lianwan City is 700 li away from Songyang, and they can get there on the same day. There's no need to be in such a hurry.
He still had things to explain.
Xu Wei and Han Mei's album is finished recording, so we can't just leave it at home to gather dust, can we?
Of course we have to sell it; how can we monetize it if we don't sell it?
Haiyun Audio-Visual Company does not have distribution channels.
This term is not precise; it should be said that they do not have their own distribution channels for the time being, but they will definitely have them in the future.
It can't be said that they have no distribution channels at all; they still have at least two private distribution channels.
In other words, products are distributed through the two wholesale markets of Xiliu and Linyi.
However, the audio-visual products sold through these two channels at the time were mainly pirated. Although there were legitimate products sold, the sales volume was not very large.
Even though piracy isn't as rampant in this life as it was in the previous one, it still occupies a significant portion of the audio-visual market.
Obviously, relying solely on these two informal channels is not enough to achieve anything significant. To distribute products to all distribution outlets nationwide, it is necessary to rely on formal channels.
In this regard, we will have to rely on Liu Wen's connections.
With Liu Wen around, their products could utilize the channels of those state-owned audio-visual product stores; at worst, they could pay some channel fees.
First, you need to utilize other people's channels, but you also need to build your own sales channel network. Only with your own sales channel network can products reach consumers as quickly as possible.
With Liu Wen around, Liang Liang wasn't worried at all. He had entrusted the power of the record company to Liu Wen, so he naturally wouldn't interfere. He simply instructed Liu Wen to choose the right time to release the two albums to the market.
As for the album "Northeast Rock 2", Liu Wen was also put in full charge of it.
Liu Wen has decided to release Xu Wei's album in September and Hanmei Group's album in October.
After giving his instructions, on August 8th, Liang Liang, along with all members of the Blue Shark Band and several security personnel, set off by private car to Songyang.
Songyang is one of the largest and oldest cities in Northeast China, a metropolis with a population of nearly ten million.
Because it is a big city, Han Chui directly rented Songyang's largest stadium: Balihe Stadium.
The venue rental fee is 100,000 yuan, and if other expenses are included, the total cost of this performance will exceed 200,000 yuan.
They need to sell at least 22,000 tickets to break even.
