Chapter 122 Discovering New Business Opportunities [3000]

It is definitely not illegal to open a video hall.

Only those who use the name of opening a video hall to engage in pornography, hedonism, drugs, and other illegal activities are breaking the law.

Yin Zhuangzhuang's father is the village party secretary.

Several of my sisters who married and moved to the city, their husbands are either small clerks in the system or teachers.

If he dares to do these bad things, he must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

Lu Yang still trusted his childhood friend very much. At least after he returned to his hometown after wandering for half his life before his rebirth, he had never heard of any criminal record for this guy.

I just don't do very well.

It's a bit embarrassing for his father who has been the village party secretary for more than 30 years.

The time soon came to afternoon.

Lu Yang arrived outside the Huxinting Teahouse before the agreed time of 4 o'clock and picked up Du Manni who had just got off work.

At this time, Du Manni had changed her charming outfit in the morning, took off her sexy cheongsam, and put on a smart and refreshing sportswear without any makeup.

He walked up to Lu Yang and turned around: "How is it, are you surprised?"

Lu Yang nodded approvingly: "Not bad, she looks a bit like a high school girl, which is enough to deceive the innocent little virgin."

He turned around and said to Gong Pingan: "Ping An, what do you think?"

Gong Gongping blushed and glared at him fiercely.

Who says he is that little boy?

It's true, after taking off the sexy cheongsam and putting on this outfit, Du Manni's appearance has improved a bit. It's a pity that there is no cup of milk tea in her hand, otherwise she would be a real milk tea girl, which is enough for her to be a campus belle in college.

"Let's go."

"Is it far?"

"It's not very far, but if you want to save some time, it's better to take a taxi."

"Then take a taxi."

Greater Shanghai is not the mainland.

Even in the 80s, the taxi business was still very prosperous. One of them was the Volkswagen Taxi Company, which was established only last year. On the opening day, neatly lined up red Santana sedans with "Volkswagen" lights on, ready to go. For a moment, a red whirlwind swept through the streets and alleys of Shanghai.

Only half an hour.

The three got out of the taxi and arrived at their destination.

A large yard is divided into two parts. One side collects waste, and the other side repairs old appliances. It seems to be clearly separated, but they should be run by the same group of people.

Du Manni led Lu Yang and Gong Pingan and greeted a few young people at the gate of the yard. Then they crossed the front yard of the large yard and came to the middle yard. It was not as messy as outside, but it was full of various discarded electrical parts.

Du Manni whispered, "The man we're going to meet is called Chen Guan. People in this area call him Brother Guanjun. The scrap yard outside and the appliance repair shop are all opened by Brother Guanjun and his friends, but they are all used as a cover. The real business belonging to Brother Guanjun is in the backyard of this big yard. Everyone in the street knows that Brother Guanjun has another nickname called the Disc King. Whenever there is a new blockbuster movie coming out in Hong Kong or Taiwan, you can always go to Brother Guanjun. He can often get new pirated discs out first."

Lu Yang listened and nodded without comment.

He could probably only believe three-tenths of what this girl said.

That's why I left some.

The main thing is that the environment in front of us really looks like a secret factory for making pirated DVDs.

The so-called disc king is pure bragging. How big is the pirated video market in mainland China?
It’s scary to talk about it.

This small yard in front of you can only accommodate a dozen people at most. You secretly work overtime to tinker with some pirated videotapes and CDs, and you dare to call yourself the disc king?
It is hard to say whether it can support most of Shanghai, not to mention the pirated merchants who come from all over the country every day.

Du Manni thought Lu Yang was shocked by her words.

Secretly proud.

He took the two of them and knocked on a small door at the back of the courtyard.

"Who?"

A bald head with a scar on his forehead stuck out from inside.

Du Manni flattered, "Myna, I'm looking for Brother Guanjun and brought him a guest."

The young man with a scar on his head opened the door, looked past Du Manni, and looked at Lu Yang and Gong Pingan behind her warily.

Then he frowned and looked at Du Manni and said, "Du Manni, didn't I tell you last time that we don't lack customers now, so you don't need to introduce any more?"

Du Manni clasped her hands together pitifully and said, "Myna, just once, just this once." The young man with a scar on his head sneered, "But you said the same thing last time."

Du Manni came forward and grabbed the young man's sleeve, shook it, and said pitifully again: "Myna, just once, this is really the last time. If I dare to come again next time, you go tell my mother."

The young man with a scar on his head said, "You said it yourself."

After saying that, he made way for Du Manni, Lu Yang, and Gong Pingan to enter the inner courtyard.

At this time, Du Manni deliberately slowed down her pace, and when Lu Yang walked to his side, she whispered, "Are you surprised that I am familiar with the people here?"

Lu Yang shook his head and said, "I'm not surprised that you are familiar with the people here, but I am surprised why he doesn't allow you to introduce customers to him. Is it because the business is too good, or because these days, some people think that they make too much money?"

Du Manni stuck out her tongue and said in a slightly embarrassed voice, "Of course not. It's because we know each other well. We used to live in a workers' compound, and his mother even adopted me as her goddaughter. I knew about this place before, but it was Myna who told me about it. Because as long as we introduce a deal to Brother Guanjun, people like us who introduce informants will get commissions."

After saying that, she looked at Lu Yang worriedly again, worried that Lu Yang would not understand the existence of this commission.

Lu Yang skipped the commission issue and asked, "Then why are you not allowed to introduce them now?"

Du Manni took a sneaky look ahead and saw that the scarred young man was just walking on his own, not paying any attention to what they were whispering behind him. Then she whispered, "Actually, it's because there are dangers in here. I didn't know it before. When Bage told me, I was shocked.

do you know?

It is said that last month a female informant who introduced clients to Brother Guanjun was raped and her tongue was cut off. The body was dumped right behind Brother Guanjun's warehouse.

The key point is that this female informant did not work for Brother Guanjun before, but was working for another record factory in the north of the city, introducing clients. But it seems that because the remuneration was not negotiated and the commission was owed several times, the female informant quit her job and would rather introduce clients to Brother Guanjun. Then this accident was discovered not long after.

Although there is no evidence.

But I heard that they are fighting fiercely now. Myna doesn't allow me to come over again. He won't let me introduce clients to Champion for the time being. He is also protecting me. He is probably worried that too much business will be taken away from them and they will go crazy again. But don't worry, as long as we don't come at night, it should be fine."

She was a pretty nice person and even tried to comfort Lu Yang.

Lu Yang thought: Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. These underground pirates are making a lot of money while the mainland has no copyright awareness. At the same time, it seems that there is a lot of internal fighting, and it has even developed to the point where someone has died. Humph, they will all be wiped out sooner or later.

Lu Yang doesn't want to earn this kind of money.

If he wants to make money, there are a hundred ways, all of which can be more honest and profitable than this. He doesn't have to worry all day long like they do now, worrying that the authorities will suddenly crack down on the piracy market one day, and then have to be on guard against infighting. Life is really tiring.

Was thinking about it.

The space in front was empty, and a large warehouse appeared in front of them. It was filled with various videotapes and discs. In the most obvious place, there were quite a few second-hand VCRs and DVD players that should have been repaired and were not very new.

There was no one else in the entire warehouse.

A young man was working hard, repairing what must be a second-hand VCR.

The scarred young man walked over and whispered, "Brother Champion, a guest is here."

The young man didn't even bother to ask: "Let them choose. As usual, buy whatever they choose. No bargaining allowed. When you leave later, please help take away the trash at the door."

Lu Yang's eyes fell on the so-called garbage, and he found that it was actually some empty lunch boxes. This young man was so obsessed with electronic machinery that he didn't even run his own business.

At this time, the scarred young man came back, looked at Lu Yang and the others and said, "Our Champion brother is busy repairing a video recorder right now. You can choose whatever you like. I'll give you a price list later."

He left too.

He went to take out the trash for his elder brother, leaving Lu Yang, Gong Pingan, and Du Manni behind.

Except for Lu Yang and Gong Pingan, everyone looked at each other.

Du Manni seemed to have gotten used to it. She stuck out her tongue and said to Lu Yang, "I'm sorry, I'm a bit rude, but actually every time I introduce clients to me, they are like this several times.

But Myna is a very nice person, and Champion is also a very nice person.

The discs they sell here are cheaper than other places, and these VCRs and DVD players are all assembled by Brother Guanjun from scraps, so they are also cheaper than other places. However, Brother Guanjun doesn't like people to bargain. If you really want to buy, remember not to bargain later."

Lu Yang nodded and looked around.

to be frank.

He was a little excited and a little disappointed.

He was excited because this trip would not be in vain. The VCRs and DVD players here, as well as the room full of videotapes and laser discs, could meet Yin Zhuangzhuang's needs. Not to mention opening a video hall, even ten would be enough.

The disappointment came from the fact that he did not find any VCD discs or VCD players in the house.

This also made him realize that these two things may not have been released yet, and the market spring for pirated DVDs in mainland China has not really arrived yet.

No, I shouldn't be disappointed.

I should be happy. The VCD market had its highest sales volume in 1997, when annual output reached 1000 million units. What a huge blue ocean!
