Chapter 035 From now on, you are the new boss of the Shark Gang 2
Moreover, sculpture brings Chen She a strong sense of happiness and satisfaction, which is even stronger than painting.
All the previous worries and sorrows seemed to be swept away.
"This is really weird! Could this be my golden finger?"
"Then there's something wrong with the identity I was given when I traveled through time. I shouldn't have traveled through time as a leader of the resistance army. I should have traveled through time as a painter or an artist!"
Chen She complained silently in his heart.
…
At the same time, a few thugs from the Shark Gang came to the door of Wu Yisu's bar.
Unlike Zeng Hailong and his men, these little hooligans all have ferocious faces and cruel expressions. They walk with the wind and pride written all over their faces.
One of the hooligans said to the leader, "Boss, this should be the experience store. Should we go in?"
The leader of the Shark Gang quickly shook his head: "No! According to Zeng Hailong, that experience store is very weird. We can't afford to offend it. We should stay as far away from it as possible."
"Today we are mainly inspecting the newly conquered territory."
"This bar seems to be doing good business, so it should be profitable."
Since winning the gang war, the Jungle Gang has given up control of the area.
Instead of killing them all, the Sharks focused their efforts on taking over the neighborhood.
Don't chase after a desperate enemy. The Shark Gang has achieved its goal. There is no need to continue fighting. Isn't it better to make money first?
So, today the leader of the Shark Gang brought his men to this street for a walk, to see their newly conquered territory, to collect protection fees, and to establish their own prestige.
Of course, before coming here, he had already made up his mind not to mess with that experience store, but the surrounding merchants still had to follow the rules.
A gangster kicked open the door of the bar, and the leader of the Shark Gang walked straight into the bar.
Wu Yisu was startled, and hurried forward, smiling apologetically, "Sir, what do you want? Just tell me what you want to drink."
The Shark Gang leader said viciously: "Pay your protection fee!"
Wu Yisu was stunned for a moment: "But didn't we just hand it in a few days ago?"
The leader of the Shark Gang smiled coldly: "I helped you drive away the Jungle Gang and protected your safety. Shouldn't you also give me the protection fee you paid to the Jungle Gang before?"
Wu Yisu hurriedly said, "Business has been bad these past two days, and there are not many customers. Can you see if you can..."
Before he could finish his words, the leader of the Shark Gang pushed him hard and pressed him against the counter.
"Stop talking nonsense, are you qualified to bargain with me?"
Everyone present was a regular at the bar. Someone stood up and tried to persuade them to stop, but several thugs following the Shark Gang boss pulled out their pistols.
"Who dares to meddle in other people's business?"
Obviously, the leader of the Shark Gang saw that Wu Yisu's bar business was the best, so he wanted to use him to establish his authority.
As long as your bad reputation gets out, it will be much easier to get things done in the future.
The leader of the Shark Gang pressed Wu Yisu against the counter. He felt Wu Yisu's physical condition and said in surprise, "You have also been injected with genetic drugs?"
Then, he was furious: "What's the point of injecting a useless person like you with genetic drugs? What a waste!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the gangsters behind him exclaim!
The sounds of trigger pulling were heard, but there was no gunshot.
The leader of the Shark Gang looked back in surprise and found that the guns in the hands of the gangsters had broken into two pieces!
Zhou Lei sheathed his sword.
"What a nice knife!" he couldn't help but exclaim.
This alloy sword is really easy to use. The ordinary guns in the hands of those gangsters are like tofu under the blade and are chopped into pieces in an instant.
The leader of the Shark Gang was angry: "Let me see who is tired of living..."
He was halfway through his words when he subconsciously raised his gun to shoot, but the alloy sword in Zhou Lei's hand had already been unsheathed again. Not only did he cut the gun in his hand into two pieces, he also quickly approached and hit him in the lower abdomen with his knee, making him bend over in pain!
These ferocious-looking thugs lost their fighting ability in an instant.
Zhou Lei looked at Chen She: "Mr. Chen, how do we deal with these people?"
Chen She drank without saying a word.
The leader of the Shark Gang finally realized that he had run into someone he couldn't afford to offend.
Zeng Hailong was in charge of this area before, so he had never been here in person and didn't know Chen She. He never expected that the manager and owner of the experience store were drinking in the bar.
There were hurried footsteps outside the bar, and Zeng Hailong was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.
What's going on? Why is the boss fighting with the store manager?
This boss is so good at causing trouble for me!
He hurried over and nodded and bowed deeply to Chen She.
"Boss Chen! This is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
Chen She looked at Zeng Hailong and asked, "Is he the boss of your Shark Gang?"
Zeng Hailong nodded: "Yes."
Just as he was about to explain something more, he heard Chen She say, "He won't be one anymore in the future."
"From now on you are the boss of the Shark Gang, do you understand?"
Then, Chen She looked at Zhou Lei and said, "Go to the experience store and call a few people over and take them away!"
"It just so happens that our factory is still short of a few screwdrivers."
…
Zeng Hailong watched helplessly as several shop assistants took away the former boss of the Shark Gang and several of his close followers one by one.
He stood there stupidly, not yet fully reacting.
For him, what happened in the past few minutes was a roller coaster of ups and downs, so exciting!
He was still in the experience store, playing "Embers Are Going Out" while thinking about how to tell the boss about this when he returned. How will the Shark Gang make a living in the future?
Suddenly someone ran over and said: The boss had an accident in the bar across the street!
Zeng Hailong rushed over in a hurry, only to find that he had become the new boss of the Shark Gang.
This is outrageous!
Logically speaking, he should express his gratitude to his original boss and try to save him, but he wouldn't dare to bargain with Boss Chen even if he had ten times the courage!
Boss Chen is a psychopath, and he's very angry. If he says something wrong, won't he be implicated as well?
Zeng Hailong watched helplessly as the former boss was forced into the car, his eyes full of drama.
It seemed full of nostalgia, reluctance and unwillingness, as if secretly promising and guaranteeing: Boss, I will definitely find a way to rescue you!
But in fact, he was already laughing inside, but he was trying hard to hold it back so as not to laugh out loud.
A storm, passed safely.
Of course, this wasn't really a big deal. It was simply that the Shark Gang boss ran into Chen She, who was not very happy, and was hit by a dimensionality reduction attack.
Zhang Sirui said to Zhou Lei, "Those two strikes were pretty good. I'll have to practice more in "Embers Are Going Out" when I have time."
Upon hearing this, Chen She felt a little melancholy again.
I hurriedly continued to sculpt to relieve my psychological pressure.
When he first decided to open an experience store on this street, he was just looking at it from the perspective of an innocent passerby and had no intention of getting involved in the affairs of the gangs on this street.
In the end, I got involved inexplicably.
Since it has come to this, it is better to send the Buddha to the west. After all, if this area continues to be in chaos, with fighting and killing every day, Chen She himself will not be able to live a peaceful life.
Just clear them all out.
As for those little hooligans, they were all sent to the OEM factories to tighten screws, which can be considered as a good use of waste.
As new workers, they were certainly not as efficient and willing to work as the rebels. But this would just slow down the production speed of the foundry, reduce some profits, and maintain a balance.
There is no need to worry about leaks. Just arrange some people to keep an eye on them.
Wu Yisu brought over three more glasses of wine: "Boss Chen, thank you so much for what you did just now. These three glasses of wine are on me."
Chen She waved his hand: "You're welcome, come, sit down and have a couple of drinks together."
Zhang Sirui looked at Wu Yisu and asked, "You should have been injected with genetic drugs as well. You are a 'new human', right? In terms of physical fitness, you are not necessarily worse than that thug. Why didn't you fight back just now?"
Wu Yisu smiled bitterly and said, "If I can't win, I'll just get beaten even worse. There's no point."
"He's just a rubbish 'new human'. He doesn't have any special fighting abilities. At most, he can just take a few more beatings."
Chen She continued to mold the sculpture. He understood Wu Yisu's idea very well.
Because the profession of "new humans" is indeed recognized as the worst.
Even if Wu Yisu had taken action just now, he would not have been able to defeat the leader of the Shark Gang.
In this world, if one wants to gain power beyond that of ordinary people, there are five different ways: genes, machinery, computing power, psychic power, and synaesthesia.
In theory, everyone can choose any two paths to develop, and the result of the fusion of the two paths is the so-called career.
The new humans that Wu Yisu mentioned are the same as Zhang Sirui’s sharpshooters, which is the name of a profession.
Although the name "New Human" sounds good, it is actually the worst profession, because it is a profession that chooses genetic modification as the only way.
Because they surpass ordinary humans in all aspects of physical fitness, they are called new humans.
But in fact, this kind of single-path transformation has major flaws and is very easy to be targeted.
Genetic modification is the most common and common method of modification among the five methods, so the new humans are also considered by many to be the worst profession, no doubt about it.
Although Wu Yisu is a new human, he has neither fighting skills nor the will to fight.
If they really fight, they will only bully ordinary people like Chen She.
If you fight back against a large number of thugs, you will only get beaten even worse.
But Zhang Sirui obviously disagreed with his idea of accepting everything and wanted to debate with him again.
Chen She changed the subject and said, "Actually, this sculpture is quite interesting."
Wu Yisu shook his head: "It's still too niche, most people are not interested!"
"I've discovered that the business of this bar has basically reached a bottleneck. The taste of the drinks I mix is fine, but they just don't become popular. It's really worrying!"
Obviously, this little gadget was an attempt by Wu Yisu to increase the popularity of the bar, but it did not achieve the effect he wanted.
Chen She looked around and said, "I think the gender ratio is the biggest problem."
More than 90% of the people in Wu Yisu's bar are men, and most of them don't look that good.
Although it is relatively down-to-earth, it is sheer wishful thinking to want it to become popular.
Looking at the gender ratio, Chen She felt that there would be no sense of incongruity in changing the name of the bar to Big Bird Turning.
Wu Yisu smiled bitterly and said, "Boss Chen, of course I know that. But it's not that easy to find a few handsome men and beautiful women to bring popularity to the bar!"
"There are many ways for good-looking handsome men and beautiful women to make money. If all else fails, they can do live streaming at home. Who knows, one day they might be spotted by the Changye Entertainment Group and become a super dream star."
"How much do you think I'll have to spend to hire these people?"
The more developed the entertainment industry becomes, the more handsome men and beautiful women will realize the value of their appearance.
In ancient times, it was possible for a person to be born beautiful but unaware of it, but in this technologically advanced society, this will never happen.
Because there will be countless people constantly reminding you of the fact that you are very good-looking.
What's more, this world is actually very impetuous.
Many people are hoping to become super dream stars and get rich overnight. Those slightly prettier men and women can easily become internet celebrities, whether they are doing holographic live broadcasts or recording a few short videos.
Although their income may not be very high after becoming internet celebrities, and they may even often go broke due to their lavish spending, it does not prevent them from feeling good about themselves.
If you want to invite them to the bar, they will definitely think it is lowering their status and will not come unless you offer a high price.
However, this inflated price was completely beyond the affordability of Wu Yisu's small bar.
Chen She pondered for a moment and said, "I think your idea is mainly because you haven't changed your mindset. If you tell these little internet celebrities that you want to work as a mood-maker in a bar, they will definitely not be happy. This job sounds too low-level."
"Put it another way."
"First, find some local Liming City influencers online, male or female. Tell them you want to cooperate with them in business, and ask them to promote your bar on their social media accounts. Buy a few in bulk, the price ranges from 1,000 to 3,000 credit points."
Wu Yisu was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and said, "That's fine. After all, although these little internet celebrities feel good about themselves, most of them have never received any commercial promotion. The price of 1,000 to 3,000 to buy a few of their short videos is a very attractive price."
"But I didn't intend to promote it on social platforms. I was mainly targeting nearby customers."
Chen She nodded: "I know."
"After they are more interested in this business order, you can tell them that such a high-priced business order cannot be compromised, right? If they want to promote our bar, they have to come and take a look in person, right?"
"Ask them to bring a few friends to the bar when they are free on the weekend, and the drinks will be free."
“Although some people will refuse, there will always be some who come in the end.”
"So you hired the atmosphere team at a price of 3,000 credits per person, and you also promoted your own bar online."
"Over time, won't your bar become more popular?"
Wu Yisu was shocked by Chen She's suggestion. He thought about it for a while before slamming the table and saying, "Yes!"
If Wu Yisu found these internet celebrities online and said he would give them 3,000 credit points a month and ask them to come to his bar to create atmosphere, and all drinks would be free, they would definitely not be happy.
We are small internet celebrities after all, with many fans. You ask us to work in your bar for only 3,000 credit points a month. Are you treating us like beggars?
But to put it another way, the nature is different.
Although Wu Yisu still spends 3,000 credit points a month, he gives them to these small internet celebrities in the form of online business orders, which shows his sincerity.
If these people consider the quotation standards of online business orders, they will feel that it seems quite cost-effective!
As for bringing a few friends to the bar on the weekend to sit and learn about the situation and have some free drinks, that's all included.
Wu Yisu thought about it for a while and felt that this idea was really promising. He couldn't help but get excited: "Boss Chen, you are really a business genius! How did you come up with such an idea?"
"I'll get ready now!"
"If my bar becomes really popular, I will promote your experience store every day!"
Chen She almost spit out a mouthful of wine and quickly raised his hand to stop him.
My goodness, do these people like to repay kindness with enmity?
He quickly said, "No, no, no, please don't promote my experience store!"
Wu Yisu was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
Chen She was slightly stumped and said, "It affects my judgment of the data!"
Wu Yisu nodded, not quite understanding: "Okay then, I'll treat you to a drink some other day. Plenty of drinks!"
In fact, Chen She’s idea was not original. He had simply seen a similar marketing plan in his previous life. He was amazed at the time and deeply understood the importance of “changing thinking”.
The reason why he gave Wu Yisu this idea was, on the one hand, because he thought Wu Yisu was a good person and wanted to help him a little. On the other hand, he also wanted his bar to attract as much traffic as possible from the surrounding area.
In this way, won’t there be fewer people visiting the experience stores?
The plan worked!
…
…
Sunday, March 16th.
Chen She was sitting in the experience store, holding a piece of special flexible material in his hand and a small carving knife in his right hand, carving a statue.
There were already several previously carved statues on the counter nearby.
These statues come in a variety of shapes, including animals and humans. Chen She carved whatever he thought of and put them aside after he was done.
After completing another sculpture, Chen She took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. On the one hand, he was impressed by the rapid improvement of his carving skills. On the other hand, he was wondering how such a thing could be addictive?
Ever since he played with the sculpture in Wu Yisu's bar a few days ago, Chen She couldn't stop thinking about it.
So, he bought some flexible materials and carving knives specially used for sculpture online to satisfy his sculpting addiction.
Unexpectedly, the result was out of control.
I'm actually addicted!
Chen She has not had much to do recently. Although he has made some changes to the official version of Mewtwo in "Embers of Demise", whether these changes can achieve his goal can only be known at the beginning of next month.
Chen She was getting a little impatient waiting and could only find something to do to pass the time.
As a result, he found that sculpture was the most effective. Every time he immersed himself in sculpture, his will would be highly concentrated and he would temporarily put all the troubles aside.
So before he knew it, he had become a sculptor and painter, doing nothing every day.
Chen She also felt that this was extremely inappropriate.
"No, this world is full of dangers. I am not only the president of Chen Group, but also the leader of the resistance army. There are so many things waiting for me to deal with and think about. How can I waste my time on meaningless things like sculpture every day?"
“Ah, how annoying!”
While thinking, Chen She took a new piece of flexible material from the side and continued carving.
