Rebirth of the 80s

Chapter 72 [No.081] Chief Designer
Ma Dekai dragged Fatty Liu from the barber shop in the living area of ​​the machine tool factory to Chunyu Street before the new year. The condition was that the chief designer of the new hair salon would be mainly responsible for taking care of apprentices, with a monthly salary of [-], plus annual dividends, and occasional business trips to Guangzhou. Study in Shenzhen and so on.

Before the Chinese New Year, the store in Xie Wenjun's hands had been rented out, and one of the remaining stores used to be a hair salon. Xie Wenjun asked Ma Dekai to tidy up casually, and bought some hair salon supplies. Let Fatty Liu make a fuss, wanting to take advantage of the period before the Chinese New Year to gain more fame for people who do their hair, and wait until after the Chinese New Year to redecorate.

Fatty Liu has carefully calculated this account. He usually cuts his head for two yuan, and he can charge a few more yuan when he encounters a perm to make flowers. I can go out to see the world, why is this broken barbershop open, the chief designer, what a famous name, I heard from Ma Dekai that after he becomes famous, celebrities will come to him to design hairstyles, and then he will gain both fame and fortune, fat Liu Thinking about it, this shaving is an ancestral handicraft, and it has never been valued, let alone making a lot of money. Now that there is such an opportunity, if it can really make something famous, it can be regarded as a glory of the ancestors, and it can also be given to the shaving industry. The patriarchs smeared their faces, so they happily closed the barber shop and followed Ma Dekai to Chunyu Street.

The brand of New Century Hairdressing Salon was quickly put up. Fatty Liu not only brought his craftsmanship, but also customers. The little girl who had cut her hair before went back and passed it on, and brought a lot of fashionable people. Many young men also came here to order him to cut their hair. For a while, there were more and more weird hairstyles, such as long and short, yin and yang, half straight and half curly, all of which were done by Fatty Liu.

The reason why Fat Liu cut it this way is what Ma Dekai said. If there are customers who need hair styling, they can just cut it in a messy way, and cut it in a strange way. The more messy the cut, the more weird they like it. At first, Fatty Liu thought about this It's no wonder that the unskilled and disorderly cutting method is not scolded to death, but Madekai insists on him doing it. Not to mention, this trick is quite effective, and the guests really like this cutting method, especially the young half Guys, I love it even more. Fatty Liu Xin said that it is really amazing. I dare to say that this "mess" is of a high level and can drive the trend.

In just a few days in the New Century Hair Salon, Fatty Liu was quite emotional. The first three days of opening were free for haircuts, but after the three days were over, a haircut was charged 20 yuan, darling, 20 yuan for a haircut in the living area The room can be cut into ten, but there are people who come and call after call. After thinking about it, the fat man Liu realized that the 2000 yuan a month's salary that Ma Dekai gave him is really not much. According to this situation I can give you [-] yuan, but if you are on a pirate ship, can you still bargain with others? If you quit working on your own, you can only go back to the barber's room and get a haircut. If you want to learn from Madekai, you really don't have the ability. Cutting hair here is no longer a simple craft, but has become a business. There are many tricks here. If I don’t understand it, I can’t learn it. I’d better be the chief designer obediently with a high salary. teacher.

After finishing the hair salon, Xie Wenjun asked Cao Xiaofeng and Liang Juan not to spend the New Year at home, and went to a few developed coastal cities to find out what is popular in these places, and to see what is selling well Just get some clothes, shoes and hats back, not too much, just fine, have a sense of the times, and when you come back, decorate the storefront and create a specialty store that specializes in popular boutique clothing, and let the two of you have fun by the way, Travel for the new year.

I have heard of people traveling and getting married these days, but I have never heard of anyone traveling for the New Year, but Liang Juan likes to travel around, and Cao Xiaofeng also wants to go out to see the world, not to mention the public expense and being able to fly, the benefits are countless, so the two He readily accepted the task and went on a "travel" happily.

Driven by the money-making effect of the "Fat Fortune" computer room, various computer rooms have appeared in the streets and alleys of Linxi City. There are a dozen or twenty larger ones, usually run by some arcade hall owners, and some smaller ones. Yes, privately run, with about three or five sets, the business is booming, but no matter how prosperous it is, it doesn't affect "Fa Cai" at all. After all, "Fa Cai" is much better than those small computer rooms in terms of scale, grade and environment. There are many, and the small computer rooms buy 386 models for the sake of cheapness, but there are 300 486s here in "Fa Cai", so the game quality and game speed are better than other computer rooms.

Having been with Xie Wenjun for a long time, Tan Hui's heart has also grown. Seeing that the computer game business is so good, he wants Xie Wenjun to continue to expand, but Xie Wenjun does not plan to expand anymore. In his words, it is Rubbish computers paired with rubbish games, now is not the prime time to manage computer games. It is enough to make a name for yourself and become a leader. If you want to expand, you have to wait until a few classic games are released.

The business of the Performing Arts Bar is relatively poor. The young people in Linxi have accepted this new nighttime entertainment psychologically, but their wallets do not allow it. The money for sipping a glass of beer in the bar can be spent on a barbecue stall. After a while, the business was not good and Ma Dekai was a little embarrassed. He told Xie Wenjun that he should be managed by another person. It's none of his business, as long as the bar can keep running, Xie Wenjun just wants to start this industry first, and doesn't expect to make money right now. When Cao Xiaofeng and the others come back, they will open the digao hall. Slow down , karaoke, no, not karaoke, but KTV, and it comes directly to mass sales.

When karaoke was first introduced to Linxi, there were stalls on the street, commonly known as street karaoke, which cost one yuan to sing a song. At a time when nighttime activities were scarce, this kind of street karaoke gave people a fresh feeling. Exciting, it turns out that the song can still be sung like this. At the beginning, everyone was ashamed of this kind of street show performed in front of people. With the participation of many bold young men and women who lacked [-] tones, it became lively. , his grandma, dare to sing this kind of ghost cry and wolf howl, why don't I dare, although I also like ghost cry, at least there is less wolf howl, sing!
For a while, this kind of activity attracted many citizens to join in. Even if you don’t sing to watch the excitement, it’s still good. The stall owners are even more happy, playing one song after another, and collecting one piece after another.

With the increase of the number of participants, karaoke has also changed from an open-air one to a small karaoke hall, which is operated next to some tea rooms, and the price has changed from one yuan per song to two or three yuan, Xie Wenjun remembers In the previous life, these small karaoke halls gradually disappeared until there were non-volume KTVs. He thought to himself that I had to do something bad again, directly opening mass-market KTVs to make these small karaoke halls die prematurely. .
