Chapter 909 Temporary price increase
Chapter 909 Temporary price increase
Wang Tiezhu didn't like watching opera since he was a child because it was too slow and the melody of each sentence was too long.
A sentence that takes ten seconds to say can be sung for three minutes.
But he also knew that people his parents' age all liked watching plays.
Now the stage was built, and the actors had arrived. Sixty percent of the villagers had come, watching eagerly. He really couldn't bear to send the actors away: "I'll give you money, just perform."
The leader of the troupe was wearing a theatrical robe and had his hair tied up. It was obvious that he was halfway through his makeup and would soon be ready to go on stage.
Seeing Wang Tiezhu agreed, he smiled and said, "Then let me tell you about the cost this time. We have ten people, and each person will pay 3,000 yuan, which is 30,000 yuan.
There are also transportation fees, costumes, and stages, which will cost you 5,000 yuan.
The total is thirty-five thousand."
Wang Tiezhu frowned: "So expensive?"
The troupe leader introduced himself: "I am Liu Hansheng from the county theater, a national second-level actor, and a famous local opera artist recognized by our province.
Generally speaking, I don’t go to the countryside, I only sing in the city.
If Wang Qingshan hadn't asked someone to help me, I wouldn't have come here. It's too far and too remote.
So we charge a bit more.”
Wang Tiezhu frowned. He could vaguely hear that the other party disliked Shuijing Village and deliberately raised the price. He subconsciously felt a little disgusted, but he really wanted the other party to perform in Shuijing Village.
Give some happiness to the uncle and aunt who just helped him.
He tried hard to suppress his resentment and said, "I won't give you a bargain, but you can't raise the price. Just quote a normal price."
Liu Hansheng frowned: "Do you know that I am a famous actor? My coming to this place is already an exception. Has your village ever seen an actor of my level before?
Thirty-five thousand is already very low. If you think it is too expensive, I will raise the price.
Forty thousand, or less, we would definitely sing a single word."
Wang Tiezhu was disgusted. It was fine if this guy just asked for a high price, but he was so arrogant that he raised the price again: "You're going too far."
Liu Hansheng glanced at the audience and said to Wang Tiezhu, "Look, there are so many people waiting to see the show. If you are not willing to pay this price, they will be very disappointed in you."
Threat?
Wang Tiezhu was furious, but seeing the crowds of people in the audience eagerly anticipating the opening, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay, then 35,000, the same price as before. Is that okay?"
Liu Hansheng shook his head: "No, the current price is 40,000.
Not a penny less."
Wang Tiezhu laughed in anger. This guy actually raised the price at the last minute. He took a step back and said, "In that case, please come in!"
what?
Liu Hansheng was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Wang Tiezhu made a gesture of invitation: "Aren't you leaving?
Let's go! "
Liu Hansheng pointed at the audience and said, "There are so many people waiting for the show to start. If you let me go, do you know what they will think of you?"
Wang Tiezhu said coldly, "They are disappointed today, but tomorrow I will go to the provincial government to hire better actors, and tomorrow they will forgive me."
This……
Liu Hansheng was dumbfounded. Before he came to power, he had already inquired and found out that Wang Tiezhu was the richest man in Shuijing Village.
He is worth 100 million.
I thought I could earn a few thousand more dollars by using my brain, but I didn't expect Wang Tiezhu to hire someone better.
He suddenly regretted raising the price at the last minute.
He stammered, "Well, I... for the sake of the audience, I'll charge a little less, just the price we just mentioned, 35,000.
Give me the money!"
Wang Tiezhu shook his head: "No, you can leave."
Liu Hansheng looked at Wang Tiezhu with an awkward expression. If he left now, just finding Kacha to transport the goods would cost two thousand yuan for a round trip.
Big loss.
Another thing is that it's an actor who wastes so much time, although most of them are ordinary actors and seven or eight hundred yuan a day is enough.
But this is also money.
He coughed and lowered the price again: "30,000, I'll give you 5000 off. Give me 30,000 and the show will begin immediately."
Wang Tiezhu shook his head and turned to the villagers in the audience and said, "Dear uncles and aunts, this troupe has raised the price at the last minute. It's too expensive. I have decided to cancel the performance.
I will invite someone from the provincial drama troupe for you tomorrow.
Invite famous actors to perform.
good or not? "
