On the morning of August 16th, the Lianwan Evening News was published.
In this issue's entertainment section, an article introducing the Blue Shark band occupied the main space.
The report was full of praise, describing the Blue Shark band in glowing terms, and also included two photos of the band.
One photo shows the band as a group in front of the Ocean Shipping Ballroom, and the other is a picture of the band in a wild and unrestrained pose.
This is the report written by Li Zhizhou about the Blue Shark band.
The report focused on the Blue Shark band, while the Ocean Shipping Ballroom was only mentioned briefly.
The opening ceremony of the Haiyun Dance Hall officially began when this newspaper appeared in the hands of newsstands and small vendors throughout Lianwan City.
A temporary stage was set up in front of the Haiyun Dance Hall. In front of the stage was a red rainbow arch with a banner that read "Grand Opening of Haiyun Dance Hall". Below it was a smaller banner that read "Warmly Celebrate the Establishment of the Blue Shark Band!"
There were quite a few guests today. Qin Wenju, as another actual owner of the Haiyun Dance Hall, naturally attended, as did Liang Liang's godparents, Zhao Fang and Liang Hongyu.
Then, some of Liu Yuyong's close friends from the Confused Bar also arrived.
At 9:18 a.m., Zheng Tuo and Qin Wenju cut the ribbon for the Haiyun Dance Hall, while firecrackers were set off and colorful ribbons were flying, marking the official opening of the Haiyun Dance Hall.
After the firecrackers went off, the Blue Shark Band took to the makeshift stage.
Singing serves two purposes: attracting an audience and advertising.
New stores naturally offer discounts, and Liang Liang was responsible for promoting the three-day discount at Haiyun Dance Hall during this period while singing.
For the first three days of its opening, the Haiyun Dance Hall is offering discounts including 40% off admission tickets, 20% off drinks, 40% off karaoke requests, and half-price fruit.
After the opening ceremony, we had lunch at a nearby hotel.
Liang Liang and Zheng Tuo sat at a table with Zhao Fang and his wife, and Qin Wenju.
During the meal, Liang Liang inquired about Zhao Fang's project.
Zhao Fang really does have influence in Landi City; he actually managed to secure the demolition projects for the new port and development zone in Landi City.
"Whether you've found a suitable accountant or not, calculate how much money you'll have left after completing these projects."
"I've calculated it. Once both projects are completely demolished, we should have a few hundred thousand left, right? We have to thank you for that. If you hadn't come up with this idea, your godfather would never have imagined there was such a big business opportunity here. Don't worry! Your godfather won't forget your kindness."
Once these two projects are completed, there will be more than just a few hundred thousand left; Liang Liang estimates that there will be at least two or three million.
"Godfather, what are you talking about? I don't want anything from you. I just want your men to not cause trouble for us when we open a nightclub in Randy City in the future."
"Who dares! In Landi City, I'm not bragging, but if you open a shop there and some thugs try to cause trouble, we'll beat them to a pulp."
Liang Liang had no doubt about this.
After lunch, Liang Liang accompanied his godparents and Qin Wenju on a tour of the newly renovated song and dance troupe.
Zhao Fang had a lot of things to do at home, so they didn't stay long. They took a quick look around the dance hall and then went home.
Qin Wenju decided to stay overnight to see how things were going at the store that night.
Since Qin Wenju is a partner in this dance hall, she is naturally qualified to know the dance troupe's business strategy and distribution plan.
Liang Liang then reported the business strategy and distribution plan that he and Zheng Tuo had discussed to Qin Wenju.
Qin Wenju didn't really listen carefully. She had a blind trust in Liang Liang, and she felt completely at ease with Liang Liang around.
At 5 p.m., the dance troupe opened for business.
The newly installed colorful neon lights flashed and changed their unpredictable light, giving this brand-new dance hall a mesmerizing feel.
Sui Fulu, Xu Hebin, Ming Hong, Ling Lanzhi, and Zhang Hua all wore the uniforms of the Haiyun Dance Hall and waited for customers to arrive.
The wait for the first batch of customers is nerve-wracking; nobody knows when they'll arrive, how many will come, or how much they'll spend.
Fortunately, the wait wasn't long, and the first batch of customers arrived.
Li Zhizhou and three colleagues became the first customers of Haiyun Dance Hall.
"Boss Zheng! I brought a few colleagues to support you, so please give us the best price!"
"Don't worry about that. We'll only charge the cost price to the first customers who come to our dance hall. It would be a bastard to make a single penny more."
Zheng Tuo instructed Sui Fulu to take Li Zhizhou and the others inside.
Just as Li Zhizhou and his group followed Sui Fulu into the dance hall, Zheng Tuo saw three young men sneaking over.
"What are you three doing sneaking around here? If you're thinking up any nonsense, go somewhere else."
"Boss! We know you're the owner of this nightclub."
"What do you want if you know I'm the boss? I don't have any money. My dance hall just opened and I haven't made a single penny yet."
"We don't want money. Here's the thing: we watched the Blue Shark band's performance at your nightclub last night and this morning. We really love their music, boss! We just want to pay for tickets to go in and listen to the music quietly. We don't have money for anything else, is that okay?"
Zheng Tuo paused for a moment, then said, "Sure! As long as you don't cause any trouble and go in to listen to the music, it's fine!"
The three young men were overjoyed: "We promise not to cause trouble. If there are seats, we'll sit down. If there are too many people, we'll let others squat down and watch."
Zheng Tuo smiled and said, "Go in!"
The three young men happily entered the dance hall after spending ten yuan on tickets.
When Liang Liang saw Li Zhizhou and three others enter the dance hall, he smiled and invited them to their seats.
"Bring us a dozen beers and two fruit platters. I brought my colleagues here today to listen to you sing. Bring us your song request book."
Liang Liang took the song request book over.
How much does it cost to request a song?
"The rule at the dance hall is that a song costs five yuan or more. You are the first customers today, and you are an old acquaintance, so I'll give you a 50% discount."
"That's great! I've already bragged about you to my colleagues, so don't let me down and embarrass me. First, sing us 'When Dreams Awaken,' I love the tune of that song, it's like constipation."
Li Zhizhou's colleagues burst into laughter.
"Brother Li! Are you praising me? You might as well say I can't poop!"
Li Zhicong laughed at himself: "The lyrics are inappropriate, the word choice is inappropriate, but I just like the way you sing 'When Dreams Awaken'."
Liang Liang returned to the stage and picked up the bass.
Just as the band was about to start playing, three more young men walked in.
The three young men went to the last row of seats and sat down quietly in the corner.
The Blue Shark Band's first official performance since its formation has begun.
