American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 105 One Step to the Stomach (Subscription Request)
"The venue is great. We can hollow out the basement and connect it into a nearly four-story area, and renovate the area around the patio into private rooms. The only problem is that it's a bit too remote." A middle-aged man with an authentic London accent said to Ryan. He inherited the fine traditions of the British Empire and had a very clean bald head.

It was Sean, the manager of Matter nightclub. He arrived in Orlando three days ago. In the past few days, he and Ryan, Di Boli and his team have been investigating suitable locations for nightclubs.

"This is indeed a problem, it's too far from Church Street." Di Pineapple patted the dust off his hands. Church Street is the center of Orlando's nightlife, with a large number of nightclubs and restaurants, commonly known as Orlando's Little Kabukicho.

"And it's surrounded by Latino communities with a large number of Colombians and Cubans, and the security situation is not very good." Daddario also seemed worried.

In the United States, Colombians, especially those in Florida, are almost synonymous with despicable people.

In the 6s, most flour flowed from Florida to the United States. The American TV series "Miami Vice" (old version), the movie "Scarface", and the game "GTA Vice City" partially restored Florida during that period. Later, the crime center gradually moved westward, and the US-Mexico border has gradually become lively since then. In the blink of an eye, it's GTA, and the loyal Rockstar has returned to Florida!
"My beautiful lady, what you are worried about will not happen. Fifteen years ago, this was the largest church in the entire diocese! It was just burned down by a fire. The locals dare not act rashly in God's territory." The real estate agent said at this time.

There are indeed many Catholics among South Americans. As a star, Selena even wears a chastity ring.

Ryan said nothing and was wandering in the ruins. He lowered his head and gently kicked the statue of the Virgin Mary that had fallen to the ground and was burned by the flames and could no longer be recognized.

I have looked at a lot of places these days, but the places I have found are either too small or the rent is too expensive...

"If we choose this place, how much will it cost to achieve the sound effects of a music hall?" Ryan looked up and watched the sunlight shining in through the mottled stained glass.

"The main hall of the Music Pavilion can only accommodate less than 700 people, and the main hall here has to have twice the capacity of the Music Pavilion. I think the cost of this is at least 300 million yuan."

"How much?" Daddario was a little surprised. It was too expensive.

"Note that I meant pounds," Sean reminded her.

"Wouldn't it be a bit of a waste?" Di Boli remembered that the nightclub where he performed only spent half of the money.

Ryan didn't respond, but prepared to go take a look around.

This place is indeed a bit unlucky, and the surrounding Hispanic communities are rather dilapidated. Most of the houses are abandoned, there are few vehicles on the road, and even fewer pedestrians.

After looking at two more places the next day, Ryan finally decided to choose this abandoned church in the suburbs as the location of the nightclub and record company.

"The contractor for the sound effects for the sound booth and fabric is a private studio in the UK called Martin Audio. As far as I know, it's a top supplier in the industry. The sound systems for Zouk in Singapore and Exchange in LA are also made by this studio, as well as for several music festivals and theaters. Apart from being expensive, there are no other problems. However, some of the effects are slightly worse and can be much cheaper. After it is built, it is estimated that it will be the largest nightclub in the entire eastern United States, so you have to consider the cost issue." Sean reminded.

The remaining profits from previous investments were enough to cover the expenses, but most of them would be spent. After some thought, Ryan decided to just go for it in one go.

“Then after signing the lease agreement, we’ll have to complete the cleaning and basic renovation work within a week. If we follow the decoration style of the music studio, the interior decoration will actually be quick, and the exterior renovation can be done simultaneously during this period of time. Then the Martin Audio engineering team will move in, and the last step will be the construction of soft furnishings and sound insulation facilities. The first phase of the project can be completed before the Thanksgiving holiday at the earliest. The record company upstairs and the private rooms on the upper floors can be left in the second phase and start after Thanksgiving…” Sean began to plan.

"In addition to the lease contract, you also need to set up a team. I can help you ask in London if there is anyone willing to come over. If there is no one for the time being, then you can only look for one locally."

“Who are the people needed?”

"Beverages, security, show planning, and waiters. Now let's talk about women. I know American nightclubs..."

"This time, we will follow the London style. We will not make money from middle-aged bosses, but from young people." Ryan interrupted.

"Do we need some women to decorate the store? When we first open the business, I suggest we arrange some and see how things go later." Sean thought for a moment and said.

"I have a way in this regard." Ryan thought for a moment and said. Sean nodded: "As for drinks, if you only want to earn money from young people, an ordinary bar supplier can meet all your needs..."

"What about security? This is of utmost importance, especially for a large venue."

Ryan thought of "Berrick", who was a perfect fit, but he didn't know if he was willing to come.

"Almost done. There are still some formalities to apply for. I'll take care of those."

"There is another place that has been overlooked." Ryan thought for a while and said.

"what?"

"A screen. A giant screen that takes up the entire wall," Ryan tried.

If you want to play, you have to play big. The auditory specifications are already maxed out, so how can you miss the visual aspects?

"But current screen technology doesn't allow this, right?" Sean thought.

"I know a supplier who should be able to meet my requirements."

"Want to poach me? Then you have to raise my salary! You also have to pay for my medical insurance and social security, and the people under me also have to raise their salaries by 50%." Beric exhaled a puff of smoke, his face full of flesh and a bit of banditry, and he had a big appetite.

Ryan glanced at Di Polo next to him, and the other person also showed a helpless expression.

It is inevitable to recruit people and increase salaries, and Berwick is considered an elite among the guards. He and his group of backbone members can start work right away without even any training. Taking all factors into consideration, such a salary increase is acceptable.

"This is too high." But Ryan still frowned slightly.

"Is this too high? Aren't you too stingy, young man?" Beric complained, "Or you can provide me with a house. Your house is too far from where I live now. I need a quiet place, an independent house, a big enough living room, and a garden."

Ryan asked Daddario to write down the requests.

"You're great. It's only been half a year, right? You've already become rich." Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Bellick joked to Ryan. He just remembered after Ryan reminded him that he was still a policeman at that time, and this guy was still a high school student. He didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, he would become his boss.

"By the way, how many people can our venue accommodate?"

"The preliminary estimate is that there will be more than 1500 people." Di Boli explained that if there are more than 1000 people, it would be a giant nightclub, and such nightclubs are rare outside of Ibiza.

"How much?" Beric was stunned.

Then I realized that my quote was too cheap.

"If everything goes well, there will be a salary increase in the future." Ryan nodded repeatedly, covering his mouth.
