Sea World Beach.

  Niu Bi wore a long gown, wearing a black hat, holding a package, standing at the gate of Mei Hua Theater.

  Four young men in short jackets stood at the door greeting guests. One of them saw Niu Bi and hastily said, "Sir, are you here to watch a movie?"

  "No, I'm looking for Mr. Xu Wenqiang." Niu Bi said slowly.

  "Qiang Ge?"

  The young man in a short jacket looked at the big package in Niu Bi's hand and raised an eyebrow. "What do you want with our Strong Brother?"

  "Would you mind passing on a message for me? Just tell Mr Niu that I've come to see him about something and he'll know what it's about."

  "Alright, I'll go and inform him for you, please wait a moment."

  The young man in the short jacket turned and entered the theater.

  Not long after, a tall and slender young man in a suit walked out of the theater, who was none other than Xu Wenqiang.

  "Mr. Niu, is there anything I can help you with? You said that as long as it's something I can do, I won't decline!" Xu Wenqiang was very hospitable and quickly invited Niu Bi into his own office, pouring him a cup of tea.

  "How about this?"

  In the office, Niu Bi didn't say anything and directly took out the projector.

  Black material, two round frames supported on a base, Xu Wenqiang looked at the black thing in front of him, somewhat like a projector, but he was also somewhat uncertain. "Mr. Niu, this... what is this?"

  "Mr. Xu, can you help pull up the curtains?"

  Niu Bi smiled mysteriously and took out a rectangular iron box, then pulled out a roll of tape from inside and looked at Xu Wenqiang.

  "Mr. Niu, you... is this a video tape?" Xu Wenqiang stared at the black circular object in Niu Bi's hand, utterly astonished.

  "Let's take a look and see, you'll be interested."

  Niu Bishi was confident and believed that Xu Wenqiang would be interested in this projector and tape.

  Niu Bi also understood that the value of projectors and video tapes was great, but whenever something is profitable, there will be people who covet it.

  Others may not believe it, but Xu Wenqiang does, because in the Shanghai Bund drama, although Xu Wenqiang's thinking has changed, he still values loyalty and is the general manager of Meihua Theater, so there is no need to worry about being taken advantage of.

  They are the most ideal partner.

  "Oh."

  With a puzzled expression, Xu Wenqiang pulled up the curtains, and the office suddenly darkened.

  The ox will project the projector onto the curtains, insert the tape, plug in the power, and the small motor will rotate happily.

  When the projector and sound started, Xu Wenqiang looked at the figure on the curtains, his eyes widened instantly. "Niu... Mr. Niu, you, this is an automatic projector? And a VHS tape!!!"

  "Not bad, are you interested?"

  Niu Bi sat in his chair and saw Xu Wenqiang's expression, he felt countless yuan notes and gold bars flying towards him!

  "Very interested! Especially interested!"

  "This automatic projector, I heard it's a new product from the Western world, Mr. Niu, can you sell it to me?!" Xu Wenqiang touched the projector, shocked beyond measure.

  He knew that every movie reel at the Meihua Theater, although it was jerky when played, was obtained by the boss through connections at a high price!

  I didn't expect Mr. Niu to actually get a projector that's even more advanced and high-end than the one at Mei Hua Theater!

  Mr. Niu's energy is so great?

  "How much will you pay?"

  The ox's heart thumped loudly as it spoke.

  "One hundred yuan for one set!"

  Xu Wenqiang stretched out one finger.

  He remembered that the projector of Mei Hua Theater was bought for about 80 dollars, which was automatic and added 20 yuan is not expensive.

  "One hundred, good!"

  The cow's heart is blooming with joy, it has contacted Baidu.

  One hundred taels of silver is roughly equivalent to three small gold bars, which in the 1920s and 1930s was a significant amount. Three 31.25-gram gold bars would be worth over 25,000 yuan today. However, Niu Bei bought goods from Jiao Dian Company for only 550 yuan per unit, a staggering 45-fold markup!

  Exorbitant profits!

  "This kind of projector and tape recorder, I still have a lot in stock. If you want them, I'll bring some over next time!" said Niu Bi slowly.

  "What? You still have this projector and VHS tapes?"

  Xu Wenqiang suddenly stood up, he had seen the world and knew that this motorized projector was just emerging in the West, while domestically there were only hand-cranked projectors, which not only had jerky images but also poor sound synchronization.

  If this kind of projector appears, it will sweep across the S beach, and those grand theaters like Guangming Theater and Lido Theater will be left in the dust!

  A new idea rose in Xu Wenqiang's heart.

  "Not bad, there are probably a dozen or so left!" Niu Bi said matter-of-factly.

  "A dozen or so!"

  Xu Wenqiang's eyes lit up and he looked into Niu Bi's eyes. "Mr. Niu, if I need even more projectors, can you find a way to get them?"

  Niu Bi was taken aback for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat. However, he remained calm on the surface and said, "It's doable, but it'll take some time. The quantity won't be too large; I can probably manage to get around ten or so units at once."

  Niu Bi did not dare to say too much at once, for fear that if this thing were to be revealed too much, the price would inevitably drop.

  "This is too good!"

  Xu Wenqiang's eyes lit up and he said, "Mr. Niu, I have a suggestion, would you like to hear it?"

  "What advice?"

  Niu Xi's heart moved slightly, in the TV series S Beach, Xu Wenqiang had many ideas, let Meihua Theater be renovated a bit, and business would flourish.

  I don't know what other good ideas he has now.

  "If you let me act as an agent to sell these projectors for you, wouldn't it be much more convenient than going door-to-door yourself?"

  Xu Wenqiang had once been involved in sports in Shendu and had a broad vision. He saw the huge business opportunity in this automatic projector!

  He was the general manager of Mei Hua Theater, although he had a high salary, but compared to the business opportunities of this automatic projector, it was like comparing heaven and earth.

  Those who achieve great things must have extraordinary vision!

  Seize the opportunity!

  He knew very well that after a day's work, citizens had no place for entertainment, and theaters and cinemas were their best destinations.

  Currently, the projectors in Shanghai are hand-cranked and have many drawbacks. If these automatic projectors enter the market, it won't take long for them to dominate the Shanghai film projector market!

  If he could get a large batch of automatic projectors from Mr. Niu's place, wouldn't selling the projectors himself earn more than working for others?

  Do you still work for others?

  "Are you giving me an agency sale?!"

  Niu Bi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and Xu Wenqiang suggested that they go together.

  Now it's up to yourself to bring it up.

  You have a shortcut, if you go door-to-door selling projectors, it's time-consuming and laborious, giving it to Xu Wenqiang to handle is the best solution!

  Granting part of the profit, happy to receive money.

  "Mr. Niu, are you interested?!" Seeing Mr. Niu remain silent, Xu Wenqiang felt a bit anxious inside.

  "Alright, I promise you!"

  At this moment, Niu Bi's mood was extremely happy, and he did not expect that the sale of this projector would be resolved so quickly.

  I've watched "Shanghai Bund" at least ten times, I know that Xu Wenqiang has been to prison in Shandong, he came to Shanghai just for career, eager to make a name for himself, so this is also helping him out, a win-win situation.

  "Thank you, Mr. Niu, for giving me this opportunity!"

  Xu Wenqiang's face showed gratitude.
