Chapter 396.
Cheng Mo didn’t know the details of No. 76’s assassination of Mr. Mao very well, and furthermore, with his intervention, it was expected that the situation would change.
Therefore, there was no way to predict it at all.
It could only be reminded to take precautions through the organization’s internal procedures.
Even the tightest of arrangements couldn’t stop accidents from happening.
Saturday.
The bazaar venue began to move in, as it was rented at great expense, not only postponing the bazaar, but also collecting a lot of items.
At least they didn’t have to waste the space they rented with great difficulty. In addition, they also increased their manpower to collect donations and sell at the same time.
It was a great success.
Even the newspaper published an advertisement for their sale.
However, the more they did this, the more they were remembered by the WANG and 76, if not in the rented area.
Protest?
Ineffective.
Cheng Mo didn’t give a damn. It was a charity sale to raise money for orphans, widows and child refugees for the winter, which was a valid reason.
At least on the surface, the authorities in the concession could not stop it.
Moreover, the charity sale is supported by many celebrities from the industrial and commercial sector and those living in the Shanghai Concession. Although they will not go to the scene, they will donate items and make their voices heard through their own influence. ……
Can you prove that the money raised from the bazaar was used to fight the Japanese? Can’t.
If you can’t, you can’t use the reason on the stage to order people to stop the charity sale. You can do this in the Japanese-occupied area, anyway, you have always been unreasonable, you want to prohibit it, you want to arrest people, but in the Concession, no matter how soft-boned the British are, you have to maintain their own dignity.
You can’t let the whole world look at you as a joke, can you?
The sale will be held in the bustling Nanjing Road Continental Swimming Pool, or the weekend, when the customers will be gathered.
On weekends, Cheng Mo will go to Su’s house in the French Concession, but he talked to Su Moer on the phone and will go there a little later.
The first day of the charity sale.
Although he will not be present in person, but also can not be a shirker, 76 since the “job salvation association” organized by the sale of activities hate to the bone.
Naturally will not let go of the opportunity to sabotage.
Although the arrangement of the police patrol near the patrol, but he is still worried about the time Xu Qinghe can not cope with. 76 can be a group of vicious people.
He went to Loulan Company.
This way, once something happened on Tang Tao’s side, he could also get the news at any time, and also, he could use this time to focus on some of the next steps regarding Loulan Company.
The movie “The Great Sword Wang Wu” was in the middle of intense print production, with its release just around the corner, the printing of posters, and the publicity work was underway.
But for the director and behind-the-scenes staff, their work was basically over, what would the company shoot for its next movie? Cheng Mo didn’t specify, nor did he come up with a script, he was trying to cultivate a team out of it, rather than relying entirely on him.
At present, there are many directors signed by Loulan, but there are only two who can make a movie independently, and the rest of them have never directed independently.
Cheng Mo is willing to give these new directors who haven’t directed before a chance, and has decided to set up a young director fund program.
Each year, 200,000 yuan would be set aside to support three to five pioneering films.
As long as the script passes the evaluation, it can be supported by the fund.
This is a job that not many movie studios in Shanghai Bund are really willing to do, because it is highly likely that the money will go down the drain.
But to cultivate talents, you have to spend money, you have to bear failures, there is no big director who didn’t come out from failures.
Those who are born to make movies, that’s too few to point to just one person. Movie is a teamwork art.
In addition to movies, “Flower House” also needs to develop, not only to be satisfied with publishing novels, but also to set up magazines and newspapers.
Cheng Mo has thought of the name of the newspaper, “Yangzi River Daily”, and the magazine is called “Sprout”.
Cheng Mo stayed in the company for the whole day, in the morning in the meeting for the “Flower Society”, talks, and in the afternoon it was the turn of Loulan Film and Television.
Even during lunch, he was discussing with Wang Hai about the future development plan of Flower Room Society.
But Cheng Mo has always been mindful of the swimming pool sale, just afraid of what will come from there, until four o’clock in the afternoon.
Not a single call came from there.
Apparently, the first day of the sale was smooth and nothing troublesome happened.
Cheng Mo is also a sigh of relief, nothing is the best thing, this is still the first day, perhaps the 76th is still stepping on it, did not immediately start.
There are still nine days to go.
Of course, I don’t know if the goods prepared for the charity sale will be enough for nine days of charity sales, he couldn’t help but think of what Tang Tao proposed.
If they themselves to get a flat-rate store, will there be business? There are quite a few department stores on Nanjing Road, and the business is very competitive, but ordinary people probably don’t go to department stores several times a year.
Department stores are generally more expensive than outside stores, and some goods are exclusive to the department store company, and can not be bought outside.
This is an exclusive business. If you want it, you can only go to his house.
If you engage in affordable stores, whether it is self-operated or recruiting franchisees, thin profits and high sales, this is still a big deal.
Not to make money, even if you can offset the maintenance and staffing overhead of a continental pool, that’s enough.
If the pool is open in the summer, the money earned will be enough, not to mention, there is such a large piece of land and the ancillary buildings above.
As long as it doesn’t lose money, it’s fine.
Cheng Mo really didn’t expect the continental swimming pool to bring in much income.
After the end of this charity sale, but can come to the planning and operation of this thing, to see if it can be done, and strive to be able to try to operate before New Year’s Day, New Year’s Eve, peak consumption, after this village, will have to wait for another year.
Tang Tao finally called Cheng Mo.
According to his understanding, the sale will be quite successful, to the scene to support a lot of people, although not to say that the sea of people, at least catch up with the morning vegetable market crowded that situation.
This sales, he really do not know, but the charity sale site shelves of goods less than two thirds.
If we follow today’s situation, the sale will end tomorrow, but there will be a collection of items for sale and donations.
Today there are many people who brought goods to donate to the charity sale, and it is estimated that tomorrow, there should still be a lot of goods for sale.
Tang Tao proposed, should they also wholesale some goods, also rubbing some heat? Cheng Mo vetoed it, no matter how well they sell, they can’t rub people’s heat, besides, once the word gets out, it’s too embarrassing, and it will affect the reputation of the charity sale.
You can give people the logistics of the sale, for example, food, rest or entertainment, and so on, these things that they already have, others will not say anything.
However, in Cheng Mo and Tang Tao phone has not finished, heard a “ping” sound from the opposite side, should be very close, otherwise the telephone torch is inaudible.
Cheng Mo has been on the battlefield, on the “sound of gunfire” is very sensitive, immediately heard out, this is the “box gun” sound.
Cheng Mo did not wait to ask questions, there were two consecutive gunshots! Tang Tao naturally heard it, and was so scared that he didn’t know how to speak for a while.
“Tang Tao, immediately go and take a look, control the scene, let Xu Qinghe arrest the gunman, send the injured to the hospital immediately, be quick!” Cheng Mo immediately ordered in a deep voice, “I’ll be right there.”
