The autumn night was slightly cool, Lin Jue sat next to the bookcase under the long window in a long robe, and Lu Wu stood beside her. Both of them looked at a square piece of paper spread out on the table, on which were densely written with small letters, and there were red handprints on the bottom.

"Childe, are you saying that you made a contract with Miss Xie and Aunt Xie? Become one of the owners of a newly opened theater? Midori asked softly.

"Yes, yesterday at the Chunlai Tea Village, Xie Danhong and Xie Yingying made an appointment with me, and they agreed to my suggestion to change the Moon Tower into a grand theater. They asked me to write a script for them, and in exchange, I became one of the shareholders. Xie Danhong invested in the real estate of Wangyue Building, Xie Yingying invested in it with her talent and fame, and I have nothing good to come out of, only the story in my head. Each of the three of us holds 30% of the shares, and the remaining 10% is used as a dividend, which is divided equally among everyone at the end of the year. Lin Jue smacked his lips.

"Childe, have you agreed?"

"There's no reason for me to disagree. In fact, we're short of money right now. The more than 300 taels of silver last time are almost gone. ”

Green Dance frowned and said, "Yes, there are only eighty taels left." Sister Qiu Rong gave her a few dozen taels when she left. Last time, Miss Fang was sick, and it took a lot of money to invite the black-hearted Doctor Zhao. Later, I bought some supplements to nourish her, and it also cost dozens of taels. It also cost you dozens of taels to go to the academy to study. Xiaohu's salary, some of the things we buy all the time. It's almost all spent. We're really extravagant. More than 300 taels of silver, which is enough for ten years in ordinary people's homes. Ay! ”

Lin Jue smiled and reached out to squeeze her hand and said, "But we are not ordinary people, I am not greedy for money, but I can't do it without money to spend." It is not enough to rely on the monthly silver given by the house. You have to study, you have to participate in the imperial examinations, you have to eat, you have to dress, you have to make friends, and you have to travel the mountains and rivers. You need money. ”

"I also want to marry a lady and have children." Midori added with a wink.

Lin Jue laughed, pulled Lu Wu over and sat on his lap, kissed Zi'er on the mouth, and said, "Do you want to get married?" ”

Lu Wu blushed and twisted his body and said, "No one has one." The son always wants to marry a wife, and the girl can see that she likes you very much, she has a good family background, and she is well-read, and she is so beautiful. It's a good match for the son. It's a pity that there is a disease on my body, if I can cure it, it will be cured. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "You're quite worried. But you're right, all of this costs money, and a lot of money. They can't be relied on to be the head of the house, so I have to find a way to make money. At the moment, I naturally have to agree. ”

"But...... Childe is not afraid of a bad reputation? After all...... After all...... They're ......," Midori muttered, biting her lower lip.

Lin Jue smiled: "What's wrong with them?" Aren't you also human? The Lin family's family rules can't keep pace with the times, and they still hold the adult old yellow calendar to restrict their children. The head of the house didn't know what to think. Outside, even King Liang has opened two green buildings, to say that his reputation is damaged, King Liang's reputation is much bigger than mine, he is not afraid of me, but what kind of reputation damage does he care? A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. Mochizuki Tower is not a green building anymore, it is all serious acting and selling for money, what is there to be afraid of? ”

"That's right, they don't open the green building anymore, that's Congliang. I don't know if this theater can make money. Does Childe think he can make money? Midori asked with a nod.

Lin Juedao: "Let me ask you, if you have spare money in hand and are bored, are you willing to spend a little money to watch a play like Du Shi Niang?" ”

"It depends on how much it costs. I can't bear to do more. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "If it were you, how much would you be willing to spend?" ”

Green Dance thought seriously and said, "Maybe fifty wen." No, no, no...... Twenty wen, never more than thirty wen. Thirty wen can almost buy a bucket of rice. ”

Lin Jue laughed and said, "You can only pay this price for someone like you." That's it, according to what you say, thirty cents per person. After the renovation of the Moon Tower, the partition room can sit four or five hundred people, right? Even if seventy percent of the seats are attended, a game of 300 ordinary audiences, that is the income of nine taels of silver. ”

"Nine taels of silver, that's not much."

"Listen to me continue for you. Ordinary people are naturally only willing to spend a small amount of money to sit in ordinary seats, but rich people are not willing to sit in ordinary seats. They would rather spend a little more money and sit in the nearest place where no one is disturbed and enjoy a dedicated service. Therefore, in the best location of the theater, set up ten private rooms, and each private room is five taels of silver per game, how much is that? ”

"Fifty taels!" Midori Dance's eyes widened.

"Okay, that's not going to be played yet. Tea is free when you watch the play, but if you want to eat good tea, eat snacks, knock melon seeds, and drink sugar water, these all cost money. These foods can be sold in the theater. Although these things are inconspicuous, but after a game, how can they make a profit, right? Let's calculate it with five taels of silver, so how much gross profit will be made in total? ”

"Nine taels plus fifty taels plus five taels ......" Green Dance counted with her fingers.

"Sixty-four taels?" Midori shouted.

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Sixty-four taels a game, how much is a month?" ”

Green Dance began a complicated calculation, and finally exclaimed, "One thousand nine hundred and twenty taels? So much? ”

"What about a year?" Lin Jue asked with a smile.

“…… Childe spared Green Dance, Green Dance can't be counted. ”

"Twelve months, that's twenty-three thousand and forty taels." Lin Juedao.

"Wow! So much, actually make so much in a year. Midori was stunned.

"No, it's Maori. Labor and other expenses are included. There are now twenty people in Mochizuki Tower who have agreed to join the theater, how about ten taels of silver per person a month? Is this pay fair? ”

"Ten taels? Of course it's fair. It couldn't be more fair. Usually three or four taels a month is already very good. Midori exclaimed.

"Okay, those ten taels should be enough, one hundred and twenty taels a year, and twenty people are two thousand four hundred taels. Manually planed out, there are still more than 21,000 taels left. Then remove some props and costumes, invite musicians and dancers to eat and wear, and other miscellaneous expenses, count it as 5,000 taels, and the net profit is 15,000 taels. Each takes 30 percent, and the shareholders get 4,500 taels a year. In other words, we can get at least this amount in return every year. Do you think less or more? Lin Jue said with a smile.

"Needless to say? That's a lot. Four thousand five hundred taels, my God. It's not enough. Midori exclaimed with her little tongue out.

Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy, that's not all." I'm just talking about one scene a day, and a scene is at most an hour. At least one in the afternoon and one in the evening a day. Not...... The actors will be unbearable, so they need to recruit another team to build the team. In short, two games a day is the norm. In this way, the income will be doubled, and it will be nine thousand taels a year. ”

Midori was speechless. Nine thousand taels, that's money that I can't earn in my life. Childe said it was like a joke, which made Midori feel a little excited and couldn't believe it.

"Also, the pricing is a little bit lower. You can start with a little lower, after all, you have to attract them to look at it and form a habit. The price can be increased later, at least 100 wen a ticket. The number of private seats should also be increased, and the second floor can be opened up to build a circular box. In this way, it can be doubled or tripled. In the future, after the fame is started, you can open a semicolon. Hangzhou, Jiangning, Suzhou, and Beijing can all have grand theaters. That's ...... gain."

Lin Juewu was talking to himself about his future plans, and Lu Wu's mind was completely confused. Childe's three times and two times the accounting, in the ears of Green Dance, that is the silver of white flowers and flowers floating towards the house like a hill, and Green Dance is about to go crazy.

"Don't say it, don't say it again, Green Dance is already dizzy. Midori is gone. Green Dance shouted with a slender hand.

Lin Jue laughed and said, "It's stupid, it's stupid?" ”

Lu Wu said: "Childe's brain is too easy to use, have you told Miss Xie about these things?" ”

Lin Jue smiled, hugged Lu Wu from his lap, and let her stand aside. Reached for a stack of papers from the drawer under the bookcase.

"When I go to the academy tomorrow, you will send this plan to Miss Xie for me. Tell them to follow what is written on it. I wrote down the boxes, the tea, the snacks, the hype, and so on, and they did it. Oh yes, and there's a revision of the new script. Tell them that I will go to them when the Academy has a school vacation one day. ”

"When did Childe write this? How did I not know? You didn't see you writing this when you came back from the academy. Midori asked in surprise.

"Mr. Xue Manzi of Jin'er Academy...... Forehead...... Mr. Xue was not there, and the sheep were herded in the school, so I went to the small pavilion in the woods to write this. I know it's a bit of a delay, but it's nothing. Remember to deliver it tomorrow morning. ”

……

For several days in a row, the girls of Wangyuelou appeared at the bustling streets of Hangzhou, distributing written leaflets indicating the opening time of the Jiangnan Grand Theater and the opening discounts. All kinds of VIP offers, annual passes, and so on are written on that flyer. Originally, the Oiran was not an Oiran, and the change of Mochizuki Tower into a theater was already boiling, so it was even more lively.

Millions of people in Hangzhou, but only more than 100,000 people attended the Oiran Contest that night. And there are only more than 10,000 people who can really enjoy the play "Du Shi Niang" up close. But the mouths of more than 10,000 people were enough to spread the excitement of the show that night. What's more, the re-enactment of "Du Shi Niang" this time is said to have added an ending easter egg, explaining the fate of the follow-up characters, and it is said that it is very happy, so those who have not seen it have moved their minds.
