008 [Watching and helping each other]

Seeing that Sister Xia didn't believe her words, Song Zhichao didn't explain too much, but took out ten yuan and stuffed it into Sister Xia's chest, saying, "Tell me, this is yours."

Ten yuan in this era is not a small amount. You should know that many people in this era only earn a few dozen yuan a month.

Sister Xia didn't expect Song Zhichao to be so generous when he took action. He immediately smiled like a flower, stuffed the money into his chest, and said, "You are not only handsome, but also good at being a human being. I tell you that it is not impossible to earn 10,000 in three days. Just go and find Brother Mark."

“Mark?”

"Yes, he is the boss of Pan Yu's 'Caesar Dance Hall'. I heard that he is very good at it. Many people seek life for him, and many people can even make a hundred in a month." Sister Xia said with a smile. She still doesn't believe it about earning 10,000 in three days. To be precise, she will only see the ghost if she believes it.

"How can I find him? Go to the dance hall?" Song Zhichao didn't explain.

"Of course not. He likes to watch videos the most. Even Mark, a foreign name, is picked up by watching videos... If you go to the Thunder Video Hall on Heping Street, you will definitely find it."

"Thank you! You have good skills, so you can make your head if you have time." Song Zhichao reached out and picked up the suit on the hanger, held a cigarette in his mouth, and put it on.

Looking at his handsome appearance, Sister Xia couldn't help but feel heart-warming, bit her lip and said, "Next time, I won't want your money."

Song Zhichao put on his clothes and turned around, stuffed half-smoked cigarette into Sister Xia's mouth, and said, "You don't want my money, I won't dare to come."

Sister Xia actually became shy, "Then take half of it."

Song Zhichao smiled and didn't say anything else.

...

The Thunder Video Hall is located on Heping Street; and Heping Street is seven or eight miles away from Song Zhichao’s current location.

Song Zhichao was wearing a famous brand, so of course he would not walk over to save a few dollars. Look around, there were many tricycle masters parked on the road in hot weather. They were responsible for carrying passengers and carrying goods.

Generally speaking, a tricycle master charges 30 cents or 50 cents per kilometer for one kilometer; sometimes he doesn't have much work and is willing to do one or two cents. Among these people, there are even many women who are not very technical and have the ability to do it. As long as you get a three-wheeler, you can open it immediately.

However, Song Zhichao glanced around and landed on a yellow van not far away. A fat driver was opening the door and putting one leg outside to smoke.

This is the taxi in 1990, also known as "face".

In fact, in Pan Yu, in addition to the "Dafa" brand noodles, there are also "Xiali" brand sedan; but Xiali has never been able to compete for the "Dafa" price. The price of yellow "Dafa" has ranged from 7 cents per kilometer to 1 yuan per kilometer at the beginning, and now 1 yuan per kilometer at 3 cents per kilometer. It can be said that the price is low, and it satisfies the vanity desires of many people.

Song Zhichao was afraid of the sun, so he skipped the tricycle and waved directly to the yellow-faced one.

The fat driver who was smoking had sharp eyes. His years of driver career had developed his vision. So as soon as Song Zhichao waved to him, he used his fingers to extinguish the cigarette that had not finished smoking, put it in a cigarette box, then closed the door, fired it, and drove over.

Song Zhichao signed up for the place he was going to, put on sunglasses, and put on his face.

...

The driver ran away in this area, and was familiar with the road. He almost stopped turning around and pulled Song Zhichao to the entrance of the "Thunder Video Hall".

In this era, video halls and game halls are the most profitable and non-partner businesses. However, you must have a backend to do such a business, otherwise you will not be able to open it at all.

Especially the video hall, in the era when Hong Kong films were flooded, from streets to ends, from big cities to small counties. The quality of video halls has gradually improved, from ordinary small black houses with a coquettish smell, to mid-to-high-end couple booths with perfume smell, and then to the laser compartment later, it can be said that the evolution of video halls is the evolutionary history of Chinese film culture.

"Thunder Video Hall" is a medium and high-end video hall. Not only is the decoration of the storefront magnificently, it looks like a cinema, but it also has the latest trendy couple booths inside, which can provide a series of high-end services such as coffee and tea.

The deafening special effect sound of the martial arts film "Hmph, Haha, Hey" came from his ears. He looked up at the huge neon sign flashing in this video hall, and Song Zhichao walked inside with his legs.

The person who was in charge of the door was a smart middle-aged man named Chen Jianjun. Everyone liked to call him "Dajun" or "June Brother". He is the boss here and the waiter here.

The video room is full of cash, and outsiders can't believe it at all. Chen Jianjun likes to do everything by himself, selling tickets, running errands, and giving melon seeds, drinks, coffee and tea to others. He does it alone.

The background of being able to open such a high-quality video hall must be not simple. In fact, this is true. Although Chen Jianjun is not a local, he has relatives working in the local Industrial and Commercial Bureau and is a small official. In addition, Chen Jianjun himself is very good at being a human being and is a good person, so the business of this video hall is becoming more and more prosperous.

As soon as Chen Jianjun saw Song Zhichao, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and asked if he wanted to watch the video.

Song Zhichao took off his sunglasses and did not answer immediately. Instead, he took a bottle of Jianlibao, pulled it open and took a few sips. After he felt comfortable drinking, he smiled and said, "I heard that my brother is not a local person, right?"

"I'm from the Central Plains."

"Oh, so is me."

When the fellow villagers meet, they burst into tears.

Immediately, the relationship will be much closer.

"Since you are a fellow villager, I'll give you half price when watching the movie. If someone else is one, you'll be five cents." Chen Jianjun was just right.

Song Zhichao laughed, "I don't watch the video, I'll find someone."

"Looking for someone?" Chen Jianjun was stunned, but this kind of thing was also common in video halls. Many times, a young man abducted his daughter and came here to get intimate. Parents would come over and say they wanted to break the other person's legs. Some girlfriends would also come over when they were pried by someone, but they might even have a knife on their waist.

Chen Jianjun looked at Song Zhichao from side to side, wearing a fashionable red suit, a watch, and a long wallet. He looked handsome and elegant. No matter how he looked, he looked like the "Crown Prince" in Hong Kong movies. It would be unreasonable for such people to be pried by others.

"I want to find Brother Mark, the boss of Caesar's Dance Hall." Song Zhichao put down Jianlibao, took out a cigarette and handed it to Chen Jianjun.

Chen Jianjun was stunned, took the cigarette and hesitated, "What's the matter with him?"

Song Zhichao took out a match, cut one, helped Chen Jianjun ignite the cigarette, and said, "Let him get a job."

Chen Jianjun understood that as long as it is from Pan Yu, no one would know that Mark is very powerful and has great skills, and can help people get a very high-paying job.

"But..." Chen Jianjun looked up and down at Song Zhichao, "You are not kidding me, you are not the kind of person who can't find a job no matter how you think."

Song Zhichao clamped a cigarette, used his little finger to clean his ears, and smiled and said, "It's because of the situation that he just lost his job and is still short of money."

Chen Jianjun smoked a cigarette, "What did you do before?"

Song Zhichao smiled and said, "Big Boss, would you please give me some privacy?"

Chen Jianjun also smiled, "Okay, I'll give you privacy - but you should let me know what you know and what you know."

"Both civil and military affairs - being able to do anything and doing anything is just a lack of opportunity."

"Not a joke?"

"Does my expression and look like I'm kidding?" Song Zhichao squirted the cigarette and squirted the ashes.

Chen Jianjun nodded, "Indeed, your appearance is very good. As for whether you are joking, I will know soon. But I still want to say that you are the worst person I have ever seen!"

"Thank you, Brother Jun, for your praise. In this era, you can't live without being stinky and not being crazy!"

"You also missed a little..."

"What?"

"If you don't have money, you don't even have a chance to be stinky!"

"I understand! How much does Brother Jun want?"

"Three hundred! I'll make arrangements for you, so that you can see Brother Mark!"

"Trade!" Song Zhichao opened his wallet without hesitation and took out three hundred dollars and handed it to Chen Jianjun. "This is all my wealth, you can use it!"

How much is 300 yuan in such an era? It is enough to buy a black and white TV and let the rural people have a full stomach for a year. However, Song Zhichao took it out and handed it to Chen Jianjun without hesitation. Even Chen Jianjun was a little surprised by this courage. After all, the two met for the first time, and they only had a few words to talk.

Looking at the three hundred yuan, Chen Jianjun did not collect it immediately. He squinted his eyes and stared at Song Zhichao: "Do you trust me so much?"

"I'm not trusting you, I'm betting that you won't lie to me."

"Why?"

"Because I called you Brother Jun, because you are my fellow villager!"

Chen Jianjun took the money from Song Zhichao and said, "I'll make your promise to you, my friend! Go in and watch the video first - wait for my news!"

No one knows what Chen Jianjun is thinking at the moment.
