Chapter 1149 Ten years without regret

"What a group of guys who only know how to make trouble. They have to vote to the polling station. What kind of voting in my cinema?" After cursing the staff who drove Daqian away to promote the installation of the ballot box, James, the owner of the Metropolitan Cinema, was still swearing there.

Then the James called another friend of his, saying that he had rejected Daqian very simply and that the other party should remember to invite him to dinner.

In fact, even if the people from the Supreme Presidium do not interfere, James is unwilling to let the ballot box be put into the cinema. The answer is very simple, that is, it is too troublesome.

Although the installation of ballot boxes and monitoring equipment, as well as all voting forms are all under the responsibility of Daqian. However, the theater is responsible for supervising the ballot boxes and issuing ballots to all audiences, staff are always needed.

Although Daqian people say they can be responsible for a small remodel on the back of the seat, adding a small pocket that can hold the form, and also providing a ballpoint pen tied to the seat for writing.

But it is inevitable to use the labor costs of cinemas.

The most disgusting thing is that Daqian also requires at least 5 minutes of light-on time after the end of the film, so that the audience can score on the table. The 5 minutes don’t seem long, but it takes about an hour to get together for more than a dozen games a day.

Although every movie ends with a transition time of about 10 minutes.

In short, these voting forms will add unnecessary trouble to the theater's operation, and of course James cannot agree to the entry of these forms and ballot boxes.

The most disgusting thing is that the staff member also threatened that there are only three voting theaters in each city. If they missed this qualification, they would have to wait at least more than a year.

This made James so angry that the staff he was referring to at the time cursed. Not to mention a year, even if he had been 100 years, he would never let the ballot box enter his cinema.

Finally, Daqian's staff left and never came back, which made James very satisfied. As a result, on the next day, when James was inspecting the cinema, he found someone actually completed the refund procedures at the counter, which made James furious.

It’s not easy to do business these days, especially now it’s not the peak season for weekends, but ordinary working days. At this time, customers seem to be very precious. How can the counter allow customers to refund their tickets?

Moreover, a 20% refund fee is charged for a refund. The other party would rather lose 20% than refund the ticket. This is obviously very dissatisfied with their work!

So James immediately walked up enthusiastically and asked the customer with a smile, "Dear gentleman, is there anything that makes you dissatisfied with in our service?"

Then James glared at the counter staff fiercely. If the customer said something wrong with the service, he would immediately deduct $10 per person from the counter to lose one customer's subsidy.

"No! Your service is very good!" Unexpectedly, the customer said, "It's just that you don't want what I want here, so I want to refund the ticket!"

"This is impossible!" James immediately shouted "Our Metropolitan Cinema is one of the best cinemas in the whole city of Columbia. All Columbia Cinemas owned, we all have it, how could it be without what you want?"

"Yes! I think so too. After all, I have been watching movies in your cinemas, and I am completely your loyal customer!" The customer also said with great regret. "But I just asked your front desk, and they said that there are no ballot boxes here and you cannot vote. But I remember the newspaper said that there are obviously three cinemas in Columbia that can vote, so I can only go to the Mandofu Cinema next door to ask."

"What ballot box?" James was stunned.

"It's the vote for the Imperial Capital International Film Festival that has been reported crazy in the news media and newspapers recently!" The customer immediately spoke up and said, "I am the one who likes to watch movies the most, and I have many ideas every time I watch movies. Unfortunately, I didn't give me the chance to speak up. This world has never really given us ordinary movie audiences the opportunity to evaluate a movie."

"Now I finally met such a film festival. I must support me if I give us ordinary movie fans a chance to speak!" When the customer said this, the person even became a little excited. Then he said goodbye to James and ran to another cinema next door to ask.

"A madman..." James shook his head, a hint of anxiety in his eyes, as if only by clicking the other person to become a madman can he make up for the uneasiness in his heart.

Then James added, "There are few madmen in Colombia!"

——————————

After leaving the Metropolitan Cinema, Sam went to the Mandoft Cinema next door, but unfortunately, the cinema also had no ballot box.

Just when Sam was wondering if this was a scam, he saw the latest "US Movie Weekly" in a newspaper booth near the cinema. The headline of the handboard was marked with a list of the first voting theaters of the Empire International Film Festival.

Sam suddenly felt like he was a treasure. He bought the newspaper and found that there was indeed a whole page with many cinema names printed on it.

Although the entire page is full of cinema names, the fonts are relatively large, so there are not many cinemas in fact. It is estimated that there are only about 200 cinemas in the United States. When I found the list of cinemas in Columbia, I found that in the huge Missouri, there are only three cinemas that are qualified to vote, and Columbia has only one cinema.

"There are three on the news!" Sam shook his head and said, "But that's right. It's impossible for too many theaters to have ballot boxes. After all, placing ballot boxes is also a big expense!"

Sam explained to himself.

However, this explanation is wrong. Originally, Daqian planned to place 1,000 voting cinemas in the United States, and Columbia, as one of the famous cities, also has three cinemas.

As for the house ballot boxes in all cinemas, Boss Jia himself never thought about it. After all, the manpower and material resources required are too great and too much trouble.

And according to the voting rules, the results of 10 million votes and 1 million votes may be the same.

If an audience member wants to vote, he can go to a cinema where he can vote!

However, because of the troublesome relationship between a certain presidium and most of the cinema owners, the original plan of 1,000 cinemas could not be achieved at all. In the end, Boss Jia used his relationship with Fox Group to make most of the cinemas under Fox undertake the task of installing ballot boxes.
