Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Chapter 474 Yan Fugui's tricks

The opera lasted for more than twenty minutes and then ended.

As soon as the TV program finished, Yan Fugui turned off the TV.

Everyone in the courtyard was watching with great interest.

This sudden interruption made me feel uncomfortable all over.

So everyone started shouting.

"Uncle? Why did you turn it off? Keep playing."

"Yes, Second Uncle, I haven't seen enough."

"Put it on again, Second Master."

Yan Fugui seemed at a loss as to the reactions of the crowd.

"Everyone, this TV is great."

Everyone didn't know what Yan Fugui was up to, but they still said honestly,

"It's beautiful, so beautiful."

"The TV that Yan Laoshi bought is really worth it. If I had the money, I would buy one too."

Yan Fugui's eyes were almost dying from laughing.

"Everyone, I, Yan Fugui, bought a TV today. I will treat you all to free viewing today. But starting tomorrow, you will have to pay to watch TV here."

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this.

Good guy, it’s you, Yan Fugui.

I just thought he would be so kind as to invite everyone to watch TV tonight.

It turns out he was waiting here.

Wang Jianjun also found it a little funny that Old Yan actually schemed against the neighbors in the yard.

But the TV is his, and it is his right to let others watch it or not.

There's nothing wrong with charging for it.

It's just a bit of a disgrace.

Haven’t you seen that everyone in the courtyard is complaining about Yan Fugui being stingy?

Yan Fugui didn't care at all about those people's ridicule.

His face is so thick that it can block bullets.

"Everyone, if you want to watch it tomorrow night, please hurry up. I have prepared seats for 20 people. It's 5 cents for adults and half price for children. You can watch it as long as you pay."

"If I hadn't looked, I would have thought that you, Old Yan, had changed your ways and were waiting for us here."

Sha Zhu was unhappy and took He Xiao home directly.

He is now planning to save money to buy himself a TV.

Yan Jiecheng also complained:

"Dad, I paid a penny for the TV. You can't charge me any more."

Yan Fugui rolled his eyes at him and said:

"Don't try to get close to me. We are father and son and we should settle accounts clearly. Besides, you owe me this money. It has nothing to do with you now. You can watch TV if you want, but you have to pay for it!"

Yan Jiecheng turned his head away angrily after being rebuked.

Seeing that there was no TV to watch, the people in the yard just took their stools and went home.

Along the way, everyone was still discussing what to watch on TV that evening.

Yan Fugui watched everyone leave with a meaningful smile on his face.

He specially let the people in the courtyard watch TV for free tonight. Now that their appetite has been aroused, he doesn't believe that they won't come to watch it next time.

Sure enough, it was not until the next night.

Everyone in the yard spontaneously gathered in the front yard.

They didn't go towards the TV, but stood near the moon gate, craning their heads to take a peek.

What they didn't expect was that Yan Fugui simply pulled a curtain in front of the TV to cover it.

What's the point of watching it like this?

Most people, realizing that they had gotten themselves into trouble, could only go home cursing.

But there were still many people who had spare money in their pockets who paid and sat down to watch.

These people all have the same idea in their minds.

Just watch it this time, and never watch it again.

But it's just like those kids going to the arcade.

The guarantee is only valid on that day.

Those who paid sat down and watched the TV program attentively.

It seems that this way I can make the money back.

Because there were too many people, the voices were a little hard to hear.

Someone told Yan Fugui to turn up the volume.

Yan Fugui said that if he turned up the volume a little, people would hear it.

This is unfair to those who paid.

Everyone was speechless. If you don’t want to spend the electricity bill, just say it.

Why do you have to find such a high-sounding reason?

After the TV started to flicker, everyone left the show with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

Only then did Yan Fugui take his wife and move the TV back into the house.

As soon as he entered the room, Yan Fugui took out a clean cloth and covered the TV.

Now the old couple is really not fond of this TV.

This is no longer television, this is the goose that lays golden eggs.

The old couple is looking forward to the TV making a profit.

"Old Yan, you are amazing. I felt bad when you wanted to buy a TV. But I didn't expect you to come up with this idea. Twenty people tonight, five cents each, that's one dollar a night. In a year, we can earn back the money for the TV."

Yan Fugui waved his hand and said with a smile:

"What did I tell you? If you don't plan well, you will be poor. Let's not focus on these people in the hospital. After a while, there will probably be fewer people watching TV. You should go to the streets to promote it and let people from other hospitals come to watch TV. Then I will make the venue bigger so that more people can watch TV in one night."

It is no secret that Yan Fugui is an expert in scheming.

He could calculate the value of a TV clearly.

Just as Yan Fugui said, after the popularity of Deng’s TV wore off, fewer people paid to watch TV.

After all, not everyone is willing to spend that much money to watch TV.

However, Yan Fugui's small business is growing bigger and bigger.

Thanks to Second Auntie’s publicity, nearby neighbors also knew that someone was playing TV in the courtyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

Although not everyone is willing to spend that money.

But as long as there are enough people, there will always be someone willing.

After Shazhu returned home that night, he decided to save money and buy a TV!

And you have to buy a bigger one than Yan Fugui’s.

In order to buy electricity, Shazhu also tried his best.

Because he gave all his salary to Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu had little money in his pocket.
