The company of virtuous people is self-respecting.
This sentence can be understood in the current era. If there are high-level eyes and voices around you, the information that is revealed inadvertently is likely to bring unexpected benefits, and even at certain moments, it will become a A chance to change a person's destiny.
"The whole building?"
"The whole building."
"Uncle Cao, how much does it cost to enter the venue?" As soon as Wei Tao opened his mouth, everyone felt that he was interested and did not intend to inform Guan Chunliang.
"You can't afford this." Cao Haiyang frowned. He didn't know much about it, but he had only heard others talk about it.
After all, Songjiang Theater is one of the city’s old memories. It was the largest cinema in the city, but there were two smaller cinemas, one for factories and mines and the other for railways. The location back then was definitely the center of the city. Even now that the city's construction center has moved to the south, this street is still the most prosperous area in the entire city.
"I know that the value of the land and the entire building alone are not enough to sell me a hundred times. What I want to say is, Uncle Cao, it cost so much money to renovate, and such a good location, someone with the strength to take over , may not look down on the income here. After all, in addition to the surrounding stores on the first floor, the cinema occupies the third and fourth floors, losing money almost every day. Internet cafes make money, but the location on the fifth floor is not good, and the sixth floor is still The whole waste has become an office area. Those without strength, like me, can only look at the plum blossoms to quench their thirst."
Cao Haiyang nodded, what he said makes sense. If someone has the strength to take on such a big 'thunder', people may only go to the first-floor store. The cinema that carries memories is really a burden.
"Cinema theaters are in hardline conditions and cannot be moved."
"It's better to contract it out. I only want the store on the first floor of the side street to be rented at market price. Which department will take the lead in leasing the store on the main street, and then the inner and upper parts of the first floor will be contracted to me as a whole. As long as the main body remains unchanged, I will Come and run..."
Wei Tao talked a lot, and when he saw the other person looking at him blankly, he smiled, knowing that he had taken it for granted. Not to mention that Cao Haiyang had nothing to do with this matter. Even if he was in charge of the department, he couldn't make the final decision. My idea is a good one. The long-term benefits will be difficult to achieve within a year or two. After a long time, if someone really does it well, then the value of this place...
Cao Haiyang smiled and pointed at Wei Tao: "You really have a business mind. When you encounter this kind of thing, you immediately become energetic. Don't think about it. It's impossible now."
Wei Tao shrugged: "I guess Guan Chunliang won't take it. The money he has now is focused on real estate. Uncle Cao, if you have any news, tell me in advance. If who takes over, I'll see if I can Take over an area of the first-floor store on the side and build a large mobile phone store."
Cao Haiyang looked at him and nodded. It was not directed at anything else but his daughter. This small favor was harmless.
………………
The thing has passed. Wei Tao hasn't paid much attention to it for a long time. This is also due to his clear understanding of his size. He can't afford to play this.
But not long after, with the office area on the sixth floor being rented, the Internet cafe on the fifth floor selling money, and the investment in the peripheral areas of the cinema on the third and fourth floors still no one came to the door, Wei Tao really got a little interested. When he went out to play with Cao Xiyu , ran here and walked around.
"You haven't given up yet?"
There were no people in the cinema, not many people during a movie.
After playing in the Internet cafe on the fifth floor for a while, Cao Xiyu noticed Wei Tao's absent-mindedness when he came out to settle the bill. He thought about the conversation that day when he visited the computer city on the second floor during the day.
"It's not that I don't want to give up, it just feels like a pity."
The two of them took the elevator downstairs. In the evening, they took two elevators to the movie theater and Internet cafe. Between them and the shops on the first and second floors, after get off work, the rolling shutter door blocked them, leaving only an elevator room of more than ten square meters, with a side door leading to Outside the building.
"Brother, let me borrow some money to spend." As soon as they walked out, four young men suddenly surrounded them. They were smoking cigarettes and dyeing their hair. They walked out from the shadow of the building next to the side door and surrounded Wei Tao and Cao Xiyu.
Wei Tao was stunned for a moment. It wasn't that he was frightened. It seemed that after letting bad students outside the school steal money in elementary school, he never encountered anything like this again, including before his rebirth. The public security environment at that time was not as complete as these crooked and naughty things. Dharma-blind behavior without understanding the Dharma.
They think this is an act of borrowing money to spend when they have no money, and they enjoy it endlessly. It doesn't matter if they have more or less, since they all got it for free. They just search their pockets and take whatever they have. I didn't think of any other behavior, I was used to it, bullying others when there were many, and bullying and bullying, so I behaved honestly.
If it were daytime, the fun would be great. Although the area in front of the theater does not allow parking of motor vehicles, it is a gathering place for bicycles and motorcycles. Many people will gather here to collect their mobile phones. Who wants the front of the theater to be close to the road? Next to it, there is the bus station. There are many people coming and going. It is time for them to show their abilities.
At night, the most lively and noisy place in the city is at a crossroads with bright street lights not far away, but the small area of darkness under the lights really has nothing to do with the bustle and bustle. It is the location of an Internet cafe on a busy street. The location is perfect, but now it has become a dangerous place.
No wonder the business in the Internet cafe upstairs is average at night. It’s okay if it’s just downstairs, if it’s a group of people. One or two people come together. After one visit, no one dares to come back a second time.
Seeing that this group of people looked at Cao Xiyu lustfully but did not do anything else, Wei Tao knew that this was a typical young man who was idle in society. He didn't understand, but he knew a little. He stopped going to school and wandered around in the society and surfed the Internet. , showing off a sense of superiority in front of the middle school students at the school gate, roller skating, and occasionally going to nightclubs to hang out and dance, which is all very impressive.
If you ask them to get to know Cao Xiyu, beauty, they will not dare to do anything, no matter how much. And they think that asking for money from you is just borrowing money, and they have no idea how serious a crime it is.
"Why, you have such a beautiful girl and you don't have any money in your pocket. Are you going to pretend to be heroes with your brothers?" One of them, a young man with yellow hair and acne on his face, was holding a cigarette and was about to give it to Wei Tao. A 'big bid' to demonstrate their superiority in numbers.
"Don't do anything, kid, aren't you just short of money? Here, is it enough? Two hundred is not enough, or five hundred, or one thousand, I'll give it to you." Wei Tao raised his hand to block it. He received Huang Mao's slap, pulled Cao Xiyu behind him, and took out a stack of red money from the butt pocket of his pants, which was close to two thousand yuan.
His cheerfulness actually frightened the other four people. Usually, if a student is kidnapped, two hundred is too much, and tens is common.
It was cold today, and I had to stay overnight and hadn't eaten yet, so I attacked an adult who didn't look like a student. Someone had gone upstairs to check out the location before. He saw that although Wei Tao was dressed maturely, he and Cao Xiyu were not in any way. Seeing that he was only eighteen or nineteen years old, he decided to take action.
This one or two thousand yuan really frightened them.
"Damn, it's great to be rich, just pretend to be stupid."
Wei Tao's cheerfulness and disdain for his wealth somewhat hurt them. One of them, a red-haired man with an angry face, tried to push Wei Tao to vent their anger at this behavior.
Wei Tao grabbed his wrist and said to the one who was obviously the leader among the four: "If you don't want to cause trouble, just take the money and leave."
"Let's go." The leader, with unconventional and colorful hair, reached out and snatched the money from Wei Tao's other hand, while motioning for his three companions to follow him.
Wei Tao watched them walk away without moving. The four of them looked back from time to time and felt relieved when they saw that he had not moved.
Wei Tao pulled Cao Xiyu to the Jetta car on the side, drove, got in, locked the door, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
