Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

In the room, Shi Zhijian put down Bao'er, and Bao'er suddenly pointed at Shi Zhijian's neck and said, "Little uncle, why do you have little strawberries on your neck?"

"Uh, what do you mean?"

Shi Zhijian hurriedly ran to the dressing mirror to take a closer look, and sure enough, there were a few red bruises on his neck, oval in shape, like strawberries.

Shi Zhijian understood after thinking about it carefully.

Nie Yongqin is a serious girl, but she can't stop the car when she is crazy.

Shi Zhijian found a brown-colored round-spotted silk scarf for men, buried it under the collar of a white shirt, wrapped his neck, and put on a gray suit jacket to match the silk scarf.

"Ajian, it's time to eat!" the old sister Shi Yufeng shouted at the dining table.

Shi Zhijian hurriedly sorted it out for the last time, and then walked over.

Shi Yufeng was setting up his chopsticks. When he looked up and saw Shi Zhijian dressed so solemnly, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Are you crazy? Dressed like this, do you think you eat Western food?"

"Cough, life should have a sense of ceremony, dress more formally, and eat more deliciously!"

"I've never heard of it. Before, you rubbed against the dining table without even washing your face."

"That was before, I..."

Before Shi Zhijian finished speaking, Baoer ran over with the little black dog, pointed at Shi Zhijian and said to his mother, "Little uncle has strawberries!"

"What strawberry?"

Shi Zhijian hurriedly covered Bao'er's mouth: "She is greedy and wants to eat strawberries."

Shi Yufeng glared at Baoer: "What strawberries do you eat? Wait for me to buy you an apple! An apple a day will keep the disease away from me! If you eat strawberries, you will be unlucky! Only ghosts like to eat that stuff!"

Baoer still wanted to struggle, but Shi Zhijian hurriedly leaned into her ear: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense - I'll treat you to a hamburger!"

There seems to be some magic in the word "hamburger",

Bao'er immediately stopped and blinked, "Don't lie to me, little uncle."

Shi Zhijian took a deep breath, let go of Bao'er and said, "Of course! Your uncle, I'll do what I say - eat!"

...

Bao'er grabbed the food with chopsticks, looked down at the little black dog who was squatting on the ground and raised his head to look at her, and threw a big white steamed bun to it.

Before the little black dog could take the big white steamed buns away, Shi Yufeng bent down and picked up the steamed buns, "What a sin, are all such good steamed buns fed to the dog?" She turned her face and scolded Bao'er, "Waste food! Is Miss Princess reincarnated?"

While talking, he peeled off the dirty skin of the steamed bun again, threw it to the little black dog, and ate it by himself, "I'll have leftovers to feed it later!"

Bao'er pouted and did not speak.

The little black dog barked at Shi Yufeng in protest.

Shi Yufeng glared at the little black dog, "It's useless no matter how fierce you are! I want to be frugal and save money first!"

This sentence is clearly said to Shi Zhijian.

Shi Zhijian took a piece of tofu with chopsticks and threw it into his mouth, "Sister, what are you doing again?"

"I don't do anything, save money, can't I?" Shi Yufeng said, but took a piece of scrambled egg with chopsticks and put it into Shi Zhijian's bowl to please, "Don't just eat tofu, eggs are nutritious."

Shi Zhijian scrambled eggs, took a mouthful of mung bean porridge, and then looked up at the old sister: "I'll give you a chance. If you don't say anything, I won't ask again."

"Cough, it's nothing!" Shi Yufeng looked strange, "I have hands and feet and can't eat leisurely at home. Now I quit my job in the plastic flower factory, so I want to get another job."

"You can go to our factory. Whatever you want, I promise you."

"That's not good, everyone knows that you are my scumbag, I will be embarrassed to go to work there." Shi Yufeng hesitated, holding his chopsticks in his rice bowl, "So I want to put down a theater..."

"Huh?" Shi Zhijian was taken aback.

Shi Yufeng hurriedly said, "You know, I don't have any hobbies. I usually watch Chen Baozhu apart from listening to operas! It just so happened that the contract of the Taiping Theater expired and the rent was not too expensive, so I wanted to buy it and try it out. running a business..."

Who is Shi Zhijian, you can tell by looking at the expression on the old sister's face that it is not so simple.

"This shouldn't be your own idea, right? You have always worked in a plastic flower factory, how can you have such insight!"

"You guessed it right." Shi Yufeng didn't hide it. "Ayong told me that. He is very familiar with the theater owner. Seeing that I usually have nothing to do, he suggested that I run the theater."

"Ayong?"

"Beard is brave! The factory is not too busy just after the New Year. He has helped me run errands these few days and found a lot of business to do. In the end, I think it's better to buy this theater!"

Shi Zhijian did not speak, but was thinking about whether the Taiping Theatre had a future.

Taiping Theatre, the earliest theatre in Hong Kong in the 19th century, was built before 1890 and is located on West Des Voeux Road, Shek Tong Tsui. The entire theater can accommodate nearly 1,000 people, divided into front, middle and rear seats, two floors of super and private rooms.

Of course, these are not the key points. The key point is that Hong Kong movies are becoming popular now, and TVB TV station has also been established. Soon, with the opening of free TV, new types of TV sets will also become popular.

At that time, many Hong Kong people will be able to watch TV directly at home, and there will be all kinds of programs, which will have a big impact on traditional theaters, especially those that focus on Cantonese opera.

To put it bluntly, the theater is a sunset industry, otherwise the theater owner would not have transferred such a lucrative business.

"Do you agree or not, but say something!" Shi Yufeng couldn't help but ask when Shi Zhijian was eating and didn't speak.

"The theater is not easy to operate, especially this kind of Cantonese opera theater." Shi Zhijian looked at the old sister and gave his opinion, "Don't think that the theater is just waiting for the money to be collected. This kind of theater needs very strong industry connections, such as a popular opera troupe. Construction, and maintenance of old customers, can you do all of these?"

"This...cough! Is it that complicated?" Shi Yufeng was a little timid~www.readwn.com~ When Hu Xiuyong proposed to her to run a theater, she didn't think too much about it, thinking that she could have free movies to watch after the set. .

At that time, when I was eating melon seeds, watching the play, and the people next to me kept calling me "Boss Lady", Shi Yufeng felt very cool just thinking about it.

Shi Zhijian put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and looked at the stunned old sister: "If you really want to do it, you can do it, but after the plate is set, it will not be a traditional Cantonese opera theater, but a movie theater."

"Ah, the movie theater?" Shi Yufeng couldn't keep up with the slender guy's thoughts.

"Yes, it's a movie theater." Shi Zhijian tapped on the dining table with his fingers, "Now our company already has a Cathay Pacific theater chain, and Jiahe Film Company, we can support you in running the business, even if it doesn't make money. , it can't be compensated."

After a pause, he said, "What's more, I will appoint professional talents to help you, you just need to follow his advice."

Shi Yufeng rolled her eyes, feeling that this was a good idea.
