Start with the script killing shop

After dinner, Jiang Qi and Wang Erya got on the special car back to the city.

Jiang Bing found the car. Bingbing B\u0026B hired a group of drivers who brought their own cars to and from the train station and the B\u0026B. At first, they paid per trip, which was considered a part-time job.

Many car owners in a town with a high unemployment rate are willing to take this job in their free time. They can pick up and drop off several times a day, which makes a lot of money in a month. It is a good part-time job, and it is much better than working on Didi.

Now the amusement park business is stable, and so is the B\u0026B business. Bingbing B\u0026B has simply hired a few full-time drivers with a basic salary + commission to be responsible for pick-up and drop-off.

The person who took Jiang Qi and Wang Erya to the city was a full-time driver.

The uncle driver is a chatty person. He has been dragging Jiang Qi around to chat with him since he got on the bus, from the customers he picked up in the morning to the fight between the vendors at the vocational high school night market before dinner.

It happened that the driver's uncle was very eloquent, and the daily hair-pulling fight between two fruit-buying ladies was suddenly transformed into a wonderful showdown between the Three Heroes and Lu Bu.

What I saw was that the aunt in yellow made a quick attack and grabbed the hair of the aunt in blue. The man in blue took advantage of his short hair and tried to evade the sneak attack by turning his head. Unexpectedly, the aunt in yellow had quick eyesight and quick hands. He turned his hand and grabbed a handful of the top of his head from top to bottom. The aunt in blue was pulled so hard that her facial features were deformed and her eyes nearly narrowed. Become a hanging triangle.

Jiang Qi and Wang Erya were stunned for a moment.

When Jiang Qi got off the bus, he was even a little reluctant to leave. He felt that the driver was really unqualified for driving at Bingbing B\u0026B. He should go to the teahouse in Taiping Town to tell stories.

The storyteller in Taiping Town Tea House has been found. He is a middle-aged man in his forties who was recommended by Banzhu Feng and is sharp-tongued. He has taught storytelling in the early years.

Jiang Qi went to listen to it and the lecture was average. The storyteller's performance was no different from the tea tickets in the theater. The guests were sitting and relaxing, drinking tea and eating snacks. The storyteller was just a background sound, and few people listened seriously.

Jiang Qi and Wang Erya stood at the door of the unit dragging their suitcases.

Since the amusement park opened, Jiang Qi has rarely come back to stay.

Aunt Chu, a neighbor who had just finished dinner and went downstairs for a walk, saw Jiang Qi and said hello with a smile: "Xiao Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time? Are you going to work out of town?"

"I work on the outskirts of the city. It's too far away from the city, so I didn't come back to live there." Jiang Qi explained.

"The suburbs of the city are nice. It's very lively there now. There are many guests at the amusement park every day. My daughter took me there during the Chinese New Year. This." Aunt Chu gave a thumbs up. "The tickets are not expensive, just the toys inside. It was too expensive. My little ancestor was crying and clamoring to buy it, and he bought more than a thousand toys alone."

"The quality is good and it comes from an amusement park, so it will definitely be more expensive." Jiang Qi said with a smile.

"Yes." Aunt Chu nodded, "I heard that there is a new snow village. It is full of snow, but the accommodation is too expensive. A cheap house costs more than 2,000 a night. The little ancestor of my family has been arguing all summer long, so we can talk it over. I agree to go for the winter vacation, wouldn’t it cost people’s lives to take a cotton-padded jacket to an amusement park on this hot day?”

"I heard that there are special rooms released every day on the amusement park's official account, and the special rooms only cost more than 1,000." Jiang Qi said.

Aunt Chu showed a distressed expression: "More than 1,000 is expensive. Our family's monthly food expenses are less than 1,000."

Jiang Qi shrugged helplessly: "It's cheaper than more than 2,000. Well, I've been to Snow Village too. It's exactly the same as in the promotional video. It's full of snow, with a thick layer. There is a tavern inside that has a magic show every night at 9 o'clock. In fact, It’s just a magic show, and the red-haired beauty in the promotional video can see it in person, it’s definitely worth the money!”

Aunt Chu was moved by the words and murmured: "It seems like more than 1,000 is not..."

Before she could speak, Aunt Chu shook her head and denied herself.

"No, no, we still have to go in winter, just go in and have a look. Living here is too expensive."

"You can't charge more than a thousand for any performance. There are only two people in a room with one bed. Plus eating, you can't do it for these two days..."

Aunt Chu walked away minding her own business, her inner struggle fully reflected on her face. Just by looking at her expression, you could see that there were two villains fighting inside her.

Wang Erya looked at Aunt Chu's back as she walked further and further away, and asked curiously: "Brother, will this aunt order a special room in Xuecun?"

Jiang Qi nodded decisively: "Definitely."

"I know Aunt Chu best. All the things she says are no good, but her expression is very exciting will definitely work in the end. After she goes to the amusement park to have sex in the snow village in the winter, she will definitely want to live there again. How can she live in this winter? Have you enjoyed your stay in the summer? The Incredible Magic Academy will open next year, and the magic theme will officially begin. The price of Snow Village will most likely increase, so stay early and enjoy it early. I am helping Aunt Chu save money."

Wang Erya looked at Jiang Qi with admiration: "Wow, brother, you are so kind."

Jiang Qi smiled, picked up the suitcase and went upstairs: "Go up and put your luggage. Go to the alley early. Maybe Qingqing is still in the store and hasn't gone home yet."

Although no one has lived in the family house for half a year, Jiang Xiaohong and her aunt have the key. They come here to clean every now and then, so Jiang Qi and Wang Erya can just move in with their bags, without the need for general cleaning.

The only problem is probably that there is nothing to eat at home, so I have to eat out for the past few days.

With the opening of the amusement park in Cao Yongjun's house upstairs, Jiang Qi also found a reason to quit renting. However, the key is still in Jiang Qi's hands. The Cao family has basically settled in Peiping and will only come back during the Chinese New Year.

The Jiang family and the Cao family have been neighbors for more than ten years. Jiang Xiaoliang and Cao Yongjun are old colleagues, and their friendship is far better than that of ordinary relatives. In Cao Yongjun's words, the key is left with Jiang Qi. If there is an accident in the house, it can be dealt with in time, so he can rest assured.

However, Cao Yongjun probably didn't expect that Jiang Qi no longer lives here.

After putting away their luggage, Jiang Qi and Wang Erya bought two shared bicycles at the gate of the community and rode to the alley. They found a corner not far from the alley where no one was monitoring them and put the 50 that had been packed in the magic pocket. He took out the kilograms of braised food and walked toward the alley carrying one bag at a time.

I haven’t been here for more than a year, and there have been some small changes in the shops along the street.

Jiang Qi did not renew the lease of the braised meat shop after the lease expired. I heard that after the business of the braised meat shop exploded, the landlord felt that the curse of the shop's bankruptcy had been eliminated, so he rented the shop to a new bastard at a higher price.

As a result, the new store did not survive for three months, and the shop has not been rented out yet.

C.C’s sign has changed, and script killing has completely become a thing of the past. What was once the top three script killing parlors in Xuancheng has become the top one mahjong parlor.

Looking at C.C's new sign, Jiang Qi actually felt that things were different and people were different.

At the entrance of the alley, the proprietress of the fruit stall, the number one intelligence investigator in the alley commercial district, was calmly playing with her mobile phone.

While playing, the fruit stall proprietress felt that she smelled a familiar yet unfamiliar fragrance.

A scent that symbolizes the good old days that will never return.

The fragrance of the high-priced braised food sold at Xinghe Braised Food Shop.

Ever since Galaxy Braised Meat Shop moved to the amusement park, the fruit stall proprietress often regretted that she didn't cherish it properly.

When the braised meat shop was in front of my house, it was too expensive, so I didn't try to patronize it. Now that the shop has moved to an amusement park, I don't even have the chance to shop.

When the amusement park first opened, the fruit stall owner's dream was all about braised food.

Braised pig trotters, braised chicken feet, braised large intestine, braised beef heart, braised chicken heart...

Talking too much brings tears to my eyes!

The proprietress of the fruit stall sniffed sadly and found that the aroma of braised food was stronger, as if the braised food was right in front of her.

The fruit stall proprietress looked up and found Jiang Qi and Wang Erya looking at her with smiles.

"Boss Xiao Jiang!" The fruit stall proprietress jumped up from her chair in surprise. She subconsciously picked up a peach from the peach box and handed it to Jiang Qi, "You're not going to be a gardener in an amusement park." Have you grown up? How come you have time to come back?"

"I have nothing to do these two days. I will come back to check the accounts of the script killing shop and see everyone." Jiang Qi said with a smile, put down the bag in his hand, took out a small bag of packaged braised food and handed it to the fruit shop owner. , “By the way, I’ll bring you some souvenirs from the amusement park.”

The proprietress of the fruit shop took the braised food unceremoniously and gave Jiang Qi a box of lychees: "I miss your braised food so much! I know the amusement park business is so good that you won't be able to take care of it. You can't even move the braised food shop to the amusement park." Normal. But the amusement park is too far away from the city. Those of us who open stores and do business can't get two days off throughout the year. We have to continue business on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, and we don't have much time to go to the amusement park. Boss Xiaojiang, if it's convenient for you , come back and open a branch!"

Jiang Qi smiled and said: "If conditions permit, I will definitely come back and open a branch."

If you can pull out the second stone pot, it will definitely open!

The proprietress of the fruit stall immediately beamed with joy: "Wait a minute and I will pick out a sweet cantaloupe for you to take home to eat. This year's cantaloupe is particularly sweet!"

After Jiang Qi left, the fruit stall proprietress picked up her mobile phone and typed frantically, sending messages to the merchant group.

Pinyou Fruit Shop: Boss Xiao Jiang is back with two big bags of braised food, both for everyone! ! !

Wangji braised food:!

Xiaocao Grocery Store: I saw it too.

Zhang Zhang Malatang: Damn, I didn’t open the door today [crying]

Galaxy Script Club: Who is the boss Xiao Jiang?

Xiangxiang Noodle House: [Rolling eyes] Your boss.

Galaxy Script Club:? !

Jiajia Fried Food: Boss Xiao Jiang is in the group @Jiang Qi

…

Jiang Qi was walking in the alley carrying braised meat, feeling like he was going to the countryside to bring warmth.

When every boss saw Jiang Qi, they would greet him enthusiastically, take the braised food excitedly, stuff Jiang Qi with a bag of local specialties from his store, and say some caring words.

"Boss Xiao Jiang, you've lost weight." He stuffed a bowl of ice powder into his mouth.

"Boss Xiao Jiang, the food has been good recently. My face feels a little fatter than before." Stuffed a hot dog.

"Boss Xiao Jiang, have you been under a lot of pressure at work recently? I feel like you are haggard." She stuffed her with a cup of milk tea.

"Boss Xiao Jiang, you are in good spirits. Are there any happy events recently?" He stuffed a bag of pastries into his mouth.

…

Jiang Qi was stuffed with packages here and there, and soon he and Wang Erya couldn't hold them anymore.

Although 50 kilograms of braised meat is heavy, it does not take up much space compared to the various foods that merchants offer.

After walking around for a while, Jiang Qi left hot dogs and milk tea in his left hand. There was also a bunch of various meals in the bag that could last for several days.

Wang Erya was the same. For convenience, she ate two boxes of fried chicken along the way.

"Brother, have you gained weight or lost weight? Are you haggard or energetic?" Wang Erya was already lost in the different adjectives used by the merchants.

Jiang Qi couldn't move his hand, so he could only pat Wang Erya on the shoulder with his eyes: "Schrödinger is fat and thin, just get used to it."

After finishing the walk, Wang Erya went to the noodle shop next door to meet Qing Qing Shengli who was racking his brains to write math problems. Seeing that Wang Erya came all the way from the amusement park to the city to find Qingqing to play with, Sister Hu exempted Qingqing from today's homework with a stroke of her pen.

At the same time, Qingqing was given a day off, so that she would not have to go to the tutoring class tomorrow and could go out with Wang Erya to eat, watch movies, etc.

Qingqing was so excited that she immediately bought two movie tickets online, proving with practical actions that there was no need to wait until the next day to watch a movie. She took Wang Erya to watch the movie, and took the ice in Jiang Qi's bag with her. pink.

"This unlucky child is really worrying." Seeing her daughter's figure as happy as a husky, Sister Hu cursed in a low voice in anger.

Sister Hu took Jiang Qi to chat for a while, and a young man sneakily poked his head out from outside to observe secretly.

"Hey, Xiao Liu, are you looking for boss Xiao Jiang? I won't disturb you anymore. Xiao Jiang, you and Xiao Liu can talk about business." Sister Hong obviously knew Xiao Liu, and she picked up the dishes on the table with a smile. Basin, go to the kitchen.

Jiang Qi turned around and found that Xiao Liu in front of him was very unfamiliar. He had never seen him before and didn't recognize him at all.

Jiang Qi doesn't know Xiao Liu, but Xiao Liu knows Jiang Qi.

"Boss." Xiao Liu smiled a little cautiously and walked up to Jiang Qi in two steps. "I am Liu Jia, the acting store manager of the script killing shop."

Jiang Qi nodded: "Let's go to the store and talk."

In fact, Liu Lan sent Jiang Qi a photo of Liu Jia, but Jiang Qi had never seen the real person, so he had no impression of it.

Jiang Qi doesn't know any of the current script store employees except Liu Lan, who has gone to work as an entertainer in an amusement park. At first, all the DMs in the script shop were taken to the amusement park by Jiang Qi, but now all the DMs are new recruits.

Since the flagship script "Horror Doll House" was removed from the shelves, and the two real ghosts Lili and Wang Xinghua quit the stage of the script-killing shop, the business of the script-killing shop has been much worse than before.

There are no two real ghosts to guarantee the quality of horror books. The horror books that Jiang Qi bought in large quantities at the autumn exhibition have no use and become real bad books. After Liu Lan became the store manager, the script-selling shop bought a large number of emotional books and happy books in order to maintain profits. Today's script-selling shops are no different from most script-selling shops on the market. They all rely on the fast turnover of emotional books and books. Joy is profitable.

However, Galaxy Script Club still has certain advantages. Some of the exclusive books Jiang Qi bought from the Card Game Studio are of fairly good quality. With so many high-quality exclusives in hand, coupled with the reputation and customer base accumulated in the past and 8 appointment groups, even if it is not as good as before, Galaxy Script Club is still among the top two.

But opening a small business like a script-killing shop is definitely incomparable to an amusement park. The current script-killing shop is more like a small hobby of Jiang Qi. He does not participate in the management and does not care about the affairs, allowing the shop to grow wildly.

Liu Jia was very nervous.

What Jiang Qi didn't know was that although he didn't care about the script-killing store, many employees of the script-killing store were looking forward to the amusement park.

It is not a secret that all the employees of the earliest script-killing shops were transferred to the amusement park as actors by Jiang Qi. Basically, all the DMs of the script-killing shops in Xuncheng knew about this.

It would be a lie to say that I am not envious. Compared with the DM job, which seems to be very unstable, with day and night reversed, often staying up late, and irregular meals, the job of an amusement park interpreter is obviously more attractive.

The employees at the amusement park are entitled to five insurances and one housing fund, and receive gifts during holidays and multiple times their wages.

Nowadays, many DMs in script sales shops are hoping that someday the amusement park will be short of people, so they transfer them to the amusement park as actors and actresses in the hope of working.

Store manager Liu Lan, who has to go to the amusement park to work during winter and summer vacations, gave them even more hope.

Liu Jia has this hope.

He felt that Jiang Qi suddenly came to inspect the work of the script killing shop, just to check everyone's level and select people to go to the amusement park.

The opportunity for promotion has come.

Returning to the original store, Jiang Qi looked at the environment inside the store. It was almost the same as before. He sat down on the second-hand sofa in the lobby on the first floor: "Tell me about the script."

Liu Jia took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and began to report.

In the past year or so, the entire script-killing industry has actually been in bad shape.

There are many factors leading to the downturn in an industry. Liu Jia is just an agent store manager and he has no way to conduct in-depth research and analysis on why the entire industry is in downturn. As a DM who is usually responsible for creating scripts, Liu Jia feels that the most direct reason may be that the script is not very good.

For a whole year, no new script came out that surprised Liu Jia, and there was no particularly popular blockbuster script on the market like in previous years.

In Liu Jia's view, the reason for this situation is that everyone's demands have become higher. When I first came into contact with script killing, it was fun to play any book. But as I gradually played more and more books, I saw more routines and saw more tricks, the requirements naturally became higher and higher.

Either the type is very new, or the quality is very good, otherwise it will be difficult for people to find it refreshing.

But the release of books is just like the players who play them. As time goes by, it becomes more and more difficult to come up with new things.

At least for this year, the store has not been as profitable as before.

When Jiang Qi first took over the script-killing shop, the industry was booming. In a fourth-tier town like Xuncheng, more than a dozen new script-killing shops are opened a year. Many people blindly come in and close down blindly, waving their sleeves and losing tens of thousands of dollars.

This situation no longer exists. As poorly managed script killing shops closed down one after another, C.C. all withdrew from the script killing market and began to focus on escape rooms, mahjong and catering. The entire Xuncheng script killing market began to stabilize. Those who have persisted until now have found their own business model.

Galaxy Script Club is currently chewing on its laurels, and the capital left by Jiang Qi is thick enough that it can survive even if it gnaws on its laurels. Some small shops began to imitate the original Galaxy Script Club and C.C. to engage in some side businesses, such as script killing in coffee shops on the first floor and script killing on the second floor, or two-in-one script killing in cat cafes.

JC focused on another way, writing a book for distribution.

"JC is going to publish?" Jiang Qi was a little surprised at first when he heard the news, but then he thought it was reasonable after thinking about it carefully.

Other store owners who want to make money through other methods may start some side businesses, but Jiang Jun and his wife really like the script killing industry. The first batch of script killing shop customers in Xuncheng were trained by JC.

Their side job is writing books, which is quite reasonable.

"Have their books been written yet?" Jiang Qi asked curiously.

"I heard that it has been written and has been tested several times. It is an emotional book. Now emotional books are easy to sell." Liu Jiadao, "JC wanted to catch up with the autumn exhibition to sell the book, so he also paid someone to take photos of the new book. A five-minute promotion with a plot cost a lot of money."

It's expensive to shoot promotional videos, Jiang Qi knows this.

"Then they spent a lot of money." Jiang Qi sighed. Even if the promotional video only cost tens of thousands of yuan, it would still cost JC two months of income.

For the average small businessman, this is already a lot of money.

If the sales volume at the Autumn Exhibition is not good, JC may be in trouble this year.

After hearing Liu Jia's report about the script being sold to the store, Jiang Qi suddenly wanted to go to JC to see their new script.

He hasn't played a lot of games, but he is a professional at reading books.

Jiang Qi thinks that he still has some level of script appreciation.

He may not be able to tell whether a good book will explode, but he can tell at a glance whether a bad book will explode.

The bad books that Jiang Qi has stamped and certified are all pure bad books.

For example, "Eat Your Heart" is still in hiding.

Jiang Qi, who was also idle, took a taxi to JC.

Jiang Jun was a little surprised to see Jiang Qi come early. Jiang Jun was a little embarrassed when he learned that Jiang Qi's purpose was to read the book written by JC himself.

Because the book Jiang Jun invited Jiang Qi to test tomorrow afternoon is the one produced by JC himself.

After knowing the reason, Jiang Qi gave up decisively: "That's it, then let's watch it tomorrow afternoon when we play."

"Boss Jiang, since you came early, there is one thing I want to discuss with you in advance." Jiang Jun took Jiang Qi into the empty employee lounge so that we could discuss things.

"whats the matter?"

"Can your Galaxy Script Club be the nominal producer of our script? We can give you 30% of the profit." Jiang Jun said carefully.

"Ah?" Jiang Qi scratched his head, feeling like he understood but didn't quite understand, "Isn't your book already finished? I asked the agent manager of our store before I came here, and he said that your new book has been tested. Several times."

"That's right, we have finished writing the new volume. After finishing the volume, we will make final revisions and it will be completely completed." Jiang Jun said.

"Then why should Galaxy Script Club be the producer?" Jiang Qi was puzzled.

Also giving away 30% of the profits, isn’t this giving money away for free?

Jiang Jun sighed: "JC is really not famous in this industry... so we..."

Jiang Qi understood and wanted to gain some fame from the Galaxy Script Club.

"But the most famous period of our store must have passed, right?" Jiang Qi felt that the name of Galaxy Script Club should not be worth 30% of the profit.

Nearly two years have passed since the hot search for human traffickers. I don’t know how many script killing shops in Xuncheng have collapsed in the past two years, let alone a hot search that has been out of date for such a long time.

Jiang Qi, the nominal producer, had no objection, but he felt that paying 30% for free was a bit too exaggerated.

Jiang Jun looked at Jiang Qi and showed a helpless smile.

"It seems, Boss Jiang, you still don't know how famous the word "Xinghe" is in the script killing industry..."
