Start to adjust the Siheyuan from Brickpai Yizhonghai

Chapter 451: Cooperation is finalized, Xu Damao will also come to the cinema

Isn't this obviously using the Beggars' Sect as watchdogs?

"Since we can't steal things here, and I have to stop the thieves from entering the door, what's the difference between Director Wang using me to help the Clean Clothes Clan and being a watchdog?"

"Mr. Jun, can you please listen to me?" Seeing that the old beggar was about to get angry, Wang Gensheng gave him a way out.

"tell me the story."

"How can you call me a guard dog when I sell snacks outside a movie theater? It's a legitimate business. I'll let you know the first time I can get a license. It may not seem like a very profitable business, but it's a long-term business that can be done here all year round."

"With my traffic as a foundation, I can definitely earn as much as you do here as a petty thief. The key is that it is safe and has a good reputation. I don't have to worry about being exposed to the wind and sun in the future. Although it is not a work quota of the unit, it is also a stable job. Isn't this a little tempting?"

The old beggar looked at Wang Gensheng doubtfully, but there was no sign of deception on his face. He was mysteriously confident in his eyesight and nodded slightly with a little reluctance.

From then on, in this small and small piece of land of the cinema, the cinema and the Beggars' Gang became a community of interests. If they came here to steal things, they would be making trouble for the Beggars' Gang's Clean Clothes Faction.

The old beggar frowned and thought for a long time before nodding and continuing to read the second item.

In the small space of a cinema, beggars with broken limbs, ragged clothes, and lying on the ground begging are not allowed, and it is even more forbidden to take pictures of beggars nearby.

The old beggar didn't understand the specific reason for this. Let's see Wang Gensheng and wait for him to give an explanation.

Wang Gensheng tapped his fingers on the desk and said:

"Mr. Fungus,

You should know where those children with broken arms and legs who beg on the streets come from, so I won't ask. You beggar, stay away from me.

"After all, if someone's child is missing, it's a big deal, and it will definitely cause a lot of noise. If something happened nearby, it would have a big impact on my cinema. And there's another story, your sister Huaihua was hit by a beating, and you saw the sequelae. If possible, I hope you can try to do less things that will damage your moral character."

Bang Geng was left speechless by what Wang Gensheng said. He turned around and looked at the old beggar with pleading eyes.

The old beggar sighed, nodded slightly, and said nothing.

He folded the paper, stuffed it into his pocket, stood up and said.

"Okay, Director Wang, we, the Beggars' Gang, will take over your business. Tomorrow, I will send someone to come and make a name for myself."

The saying of becoming famous and gaining fame still remains these days.

This was the case in earlier years. If you wanted to assert your sovereignty over this piece of dock, you had to draw a road to make a name for yourself and tell people on the road that this place belonged to you and you would be in charge of it from now on.

Those who make a living in this place will come and compete with you. If they are indeed not as skilled as you, even if you have become famous, if they come here to cause trouble again in the future, they will not be in the right and it will be a case of stealing territory.

Fighting for territory may lead to bloodshed, and it may determine who is superior and who is inferior, or whether one lives or dies.

This kind of street-level beating-up practice did not gradually disappear until the 80s, following a vigorous nationwide crackdown campaign.

Before the two people left, Wang Gensheng was called Banggeng.

"Bang Geng, I did something for your family in the courtyard, just consider it a gift to you."

Banggeng frowned slightly, turned his head and looked back, still not figuring out what was going on.

Wang Gensheng smiled and said, "I told Yi Zhonghai that he couldn't just let the adoption of Huaihua go. Didn't he want to find someone to take care of him in his old age? Then he should replace his adopted daughter with Xiaodang."

"When they grow old, the two houses will belong to Xiaodang. Even after Yi Zhonghai retires, Yi Zhonghai's work quota in the steel mill will also be taken over by Xiaodang."

Banggeng looked at Wang Gensheng in a daze. He was getting such a huge benefit for nothing. He didn't know why Wang Gensheng made such an arrangement.

Wang Gensheng went on to explain: "You've seen what's going on with Huaihua. Can you bear to let your sister marry far away and be bullied by her husband's family?"

Bang Geng shook his head vigorously without even thinking about this.

"I don't want to either. After all, I watched these two little girls grow up under my nose. How can I let them be bullied by outsiders? So I think it's better to let the two little girls live across from each other and settle down in our courtyard."

"After the two little girls get married, your mother will live next door to you, so they can take care of each other in the same courtyard."

"It's just that you, as a brother, need to work harder. When you get married, you have to build your family business with your own hands."

Bang Geng's eyes lit up, and he nodded with gritted teeth: "Thank you, Uncle Gensheng, I know what to do now."

After Bang Geng and the other man left, Ran Qiuye came in to clean up the teacups. Looking at the two untouched cups of tea, she looked up at Wang Gensheng.

Wang Gensheng tapped his fingers on the desk and said:

"This is the rule of the Beggars' Sect. In order not to offend others, they usually won't use such a clean cup. Even when you go to beg for food, they will bring their own bowl and let you pour the leftovers into their own bowl."

"Unfortunately, as time goes by, these people in the Beggars' Sect are less and less likely to take this rule to heart. These two people are small leaders of the Beggars' Sect, but they still stick to the bottom line."

"Are you saying that Bang Geng has also joined the Beggars' Sect?"

"Yes, Bang Geng joined the Beggars' Sect with the help of his master. He is a small leader of the Clean Clothes Sect. The territory he is in charge of is our cinema."

"So, what are these two doing here today?"

"I asked them to come here. I negotiated with them and asked them to set up a stall in front of our cinema to sell peanuts and melon seeds as a benefit. I told them not to make any moves in front of our cinema. They also helped us to stop any petty thieves from entering the cinema."

"But what about the peanuts and sunflower seeds sold in our cinema?"

"We in the cinema don't make a living by selling those snacks, nor do we rely on that little money to pay you. We can also change the merchandise a little bit, and mainly sell soda and popcorn in the future."

"For peanuts and melon seeds, buy the best quality ones and sell them at a higher price. Then, distinguish them from the goods sold at the door."

After listening to this, Ran Qiuye nodded and asked, as if he understood:

“Is it worth it?”

"It's worth it. You'll find that no one will lose a bicycle at the door in the future. People who go to the movies won't lose their wallets, let alone their children. We will have less trouble here, and I can have some free time. Isn't it nice to drink tea and read the newspaper?"

"Let's not talk about Bang Geng and the others. How is your little apprentice doing with his work as a film projectionist?"

Speaking of this, Ran Qiuye frowned slightly and said:

"I don't know why that boy is so stupid. It's been almost four months, and he still relies on me all the time."

Wang Gensheng said, "You don't have to worry about him anymore. Xu Damao from the steel mill has come to me several times and told me that he wants to be transferred to our cinema as a deputy section chief. Let him handle this troublesome matter from now on."

"Isn't Xu Damao the deputy chief of the boiler department in the steel mill? Why did he have to be transferred here? Our cinema doesn't have any money."
