Video halls were no longer a novelty in cities in 1987. There was almost one near every bus station.
In a small dark room, there was a color TV and a video or single-player camera, with a sea of heads gathered in front of the TV.
Put a speaker outside to broadcast the laughter and laughter sounds in the video to the street to attract people's interest so that they can go in and watch.
However, this thing has no market in rural areas, simply because there are few people.
If there is no traffic, there is no business, and even if there is, it is on a very small scale.
What's the point of opening a cinema if only eight or ten people watch it a day?
Although Jiangwei is also a rural area, it does not have the problem of sparse population.
Although the Wankou Commercial District is not as crowded as the Wahou Market, it is still bustling with people.
There are hundreds of drivers and accompanying vehicles traveling here every day, plus dozens of factory workers.
Smaller factories have dozens of workers, while larger factories have hundreds of workers.
There are tens of thousands of workers in these factories in Nan Da Wan.
At least half of the people live in the factory.
Most of these workers are young people, and most people in this age group do not know how to live and what saving money means.
Plus, without their wives watching, watching videos and playing billiards was nothing for them.
Therefore, Xu Bin's entertainment city's daytime video revenue reached 100 yuan on the first day, and the revenue from billiards was more than 20 yuan.
It’s a good start.
This is only the contribution of the drivers. The workers in the bay don’t know the situation at the bay entrance yet.
If they knew, Xu Bin’s small building would be in danger of bursting.
The night also starts at seven o'clock, and the videos played in the evening are Jackie Chan's "Young Master Dragon" and "Ninja Duel".
This was played at the request of the drivers, who desperately wanted to see a martial arts film.
There were more people in the video hall in the evening, about eighty people came in.
After get off work at the Wanli factory, the male and female workers would go to the bay mouth in groups of three or four after dinner and stroll around, and that's when they discovered this entertainment room that was open during the day.
As a result, Xu Bin’s small building was almost crushed.
The first floor of Xu Bin's small building is about 120 square meters.
What's the point of having 70 or 80 people squeezed into a video room of just over 50 square meters? If the entire second floor were a video room, there would probably be 200 people crammed in.
What made Wan Feng speechless was that Luan Feng and Zhang Xuan, two women who loved to watch the fun and were not afraid of causing any trouble, actually came to join in the fun at night.
Aren't you afraid of being taken advantage of by others? Those are all my things, I can't let others get their hands on them.
"Go back. Don't we have a video recorder? Why are you two here to join in the fun?"
"We were bored at home, so we decided to go out for a walk," Luan Feng argued.
Bullshit, it's freezing cold, why are you taking a walk so late at night?
Wan Feng unceremoniously sent the two women back, and even escorted them personally, because he was not sure whether they would go back without him keeping an eye on them.
After sending the two guys back, he also brought the martial arts comedy videotapes from his home to Xu Bin.
In the past two years, Luan Feng and Zhang Xuan not only devoted themselves to playing games, but also bought thirty or forty videotapes every now and then.
Of course, Wan Feng didn’t take those romance books because they couldn’t be seen by anyone.
Now Xu Bin had more than fifty videotapes in his hands, enough for him to use until the end of the year.
Not only do many people watch videos, but there are also many people playing billiards.
In just a few days, Xu Bin's entertainment city became the most lively place in Wankou.
The four pool tables are busy every day, and the video hall is always full. From these two items alone, Xu Bin's daily income reaches 300 yuan.
As time enters December, good things come one after another.
The AX100 motorcycle produced by the Nanwan factory won the 1987 User Trustworthy Product Gold Award issued by the Ministry of Machinery, and the 18-horsepower agricultural transport vehicle also won the Excellence Award.
Wan Feng is not interested in receiving any award, and he may not give any money.
Even the 18,000 yuan he was given didn't matter.
If he didn't go, Zhu Yong, the current manager of Nanwan Factory, had to go. Accompanied by Yan Ling, the special public relations officer of Nanwan Factory, he embarked on a journey to the capital to receive the award.
After Zhu Yong left, Wan Feng had to stay in the factory every day.
Chen Dao's return has greatly accelerated the process of imitating machine tools at the Nanwan Factory. Now the mechanical parts of these machine tools have been imitated to a degree exceeding 90%.
All that is missing is the CNC part. Once the CNC problems are solved, the imitation machine tool will come out.
That day, a Dongfeng 140 long-box truck drove into the gate of Nanwan Factory.
Zhang Shiqian got out of the cab with a tired look on his face. The first thing he did after his feet touched the ground was to spit violently.
"Damn little bastard, he's really tormented me." Zhang Shiqian muttered to himself, and the next moment he saw Wan Feng coming out of the office, so he repeated the sentence again.
"Damn it, I've had no time to rest since I returned to the South. I've been tinkering with these crappy things you gave me every day. I haven't even touched my wife twice. My wife said she wants to get me cuckolded."
This guy first complained to gain sympathy, then took out a sharp knife and stabbed me.
Is it interesting to always use this routine?
Wan Feng ignored him: "Where is what I want?"
Zhang Shiqian pointed at the carriage and said, "They are all on board. I won't be responsible if they freeze to death."
Wan Feng called over a few workers, and they hurriedly unloaded a one-meter-wide and two-meter-long wooden box from the truck.
