Li De was not told about encountering pirates on a warship. He didn't want to reveal his trip to Lingnan because of this incident.

What's more, he encountered pirates, so he didn't want his personal safety to escalate into a crisis.

He is now devoted to the project of billiards entertainment. As for the warships returned to Youzhou Port, they entered the dock for renovation.

After a battle, although it is not damaged, normal maintenance is still necessary, especially the maintenance of artillery.

This time, many problems were exposed, especially the long-range firepower was relatively weak. If there was strong firepower in the distance, the pirate ship could be wiped out.

For this reason, R&D personnel can only continue to improve new energy, which is unhurried. In addition, several artillery pieces need to be installed before the research and development is successful.

First make up for the problem of long-range firepower. After installation, the load capacity of the hull will be greatly reduced. So, modify the flagship to become a heavy firepower flagship, install a few more cannons to make the powerful firepower stand out.

As for transporting goods, you can only carry basic materials in the future and give up the function of long-distance transportation.

Li De believes that professional ships should still do professional things, and transportation matters are not suitable for warships.

After this encounter with pirates, the Youzhou sailors gained combat experience, which was of great help to their future training.

Li De carefully read his promotion plan again, carried out billiards and held billiards cup competitions.

Develop billiards entertainment into competition.

Li De found his assistant and asked, "How is the billiard table produced?"

His assistant was arranged by Li Xiuning, who was specifically responsible for his business connection with the Li family. His assistant was not a staff member of the Chengshoufu, but he was the one who helped Li De handle matters.

"The woodworking workshop has now produced 3,000 billiard tables and several related tools are produced. Based on the existing data, it can support 30,000 people to entertain."

If you want to play billiards, you must first have a billiard club. According to the data, craftsmen have really produced a lot of billiard clubs.

"There are not many billiard tables in front of the three fronts. Take the time to buy a billiard hall and strive to popularize billiards in three months."

"yes."

His assistant was carefully selected by Li Xiuning, who had strong ability to do things, and he would do everything he ordered in general.

There are too many billiard tables stored in the warehouse of the woodworking workshop, and they are all stacked well at first glance.

The four corners of the billiard table can be assembled so that it can be stored easily and not occupy too much space. The entire warehouse is full of billiard tables.

Several shops in Youzhou Commercial Street have been renovated, and in order to open a billiard hall, three shops have been directly connected.

The new pool table has been placed in the hall, with thirty pool tables in total.

In order not to affect others, the billiard table has enough space for each table to be blocked with a screen, and sofas and water diversion platforms are also placed on both sides.

There is a kerosene lamp on the top of the billiard table connected to the ventilation opening, so there will be no kerosene smoke smell in the room.

The Li family invested a lot in this large billiards hall, and the cost was higher than opening a restaurant that would not disturb.

The main reason is that the manufacturing price of pool tables is very high, because to achieve stable conditions, even the ground where billiards are visited has been tested for level.

Li De promotes billiards projects, either not to do it or do it as best as it should. The three large shops together with the cost is no less than rebuilding.

There are not many people in the billiards hall, but the consumption level has not improved, and everyone can afford it.

When the billiards are open, discounts will be hung at the door, and billiards are charged according to the time.

One stick of incense costs fifty cents, two sticks of incense cost one hundred cents, and one excellent position for two sticks of incense.

The job of the waiter is to help put the balls, serve tea and water, and they all receive commissions.

The main things sold are billiard-related supplies, such as leather gloves, billiards, and billiards. The stadium can also rent personal storage rooms to store tools.

The newly opened billiards are not published in newspaper advertisements, because the current billiards cannot satisfy the visit of most people.

If you do a promotion, there will be a long queue outside the billiards hall, which will greatly affect traffic.

So open a low-key business.

Even if there are many people who come to visit the commercial streets in a low-key manner, they all come to join in the fun when they see the opening of the billiard hall.

They want to know what entertainment activities are that cost fifty cents a time for an incense stick.

Many people entered the stadium, and soon all thirty tables were full, and those who wanted to come in could only wait.

The newly opened billiards must require coaches to explain, so someone will explain the rules of the game to them soon.

Most of them are waiters who serve as explanations.

For this reason, they can also receive an extra work fee for the explanation.

I was very stupid at first playing, and sometimes I couldn’t touch the ball several times, or I just encountered too many balls.

Various fouls are unavailable to look at.

Many people are enjoying it, and some people start renewing the money. Although they spend a lot of energy on playing football for a long time, they start buying drinks and eating food.

Before we knew it, it was almost evening, and the waiters would remind each hour as required.

When it was evening, the waiter started reminding him.

At this time, I was still immersed in the entertainment of playing and realized that it was getting late, so I hurriedly checked out and went home.

Leaving in a hurry.

This happens every day in the arena. Although more people do not line up, this does not delay them from understanding the situation through others.

After hearing this, I wanted to try it even more, so there were more people queuing up every day.

But there is no way. It is really difficult to accommodate too many people with thirty tables, so each table is limited to ten people, and there cannot be too many people.

Even so, there are 300 people in the stadium every day, and the space for waiters and coaches is a little crowded.

However, drinks, food and celestial ball-related items are sold very well, which is more profitable than renting billiards itself.

In order not to affect the stadium space, a new store specializing in selling billiards supplies was opened next to the stadium, and you can also buy a billiards table here.

Many businessmen came to ask at the first time, preparing to inquire about the fact that they also wanted to do the stadium business, so in less than a month, new stadiums were opened in several other conspicuous places on the qiu street.

Compared to the Li family's stadium, it is much smaller, but there are more tables without partitions. There are not many people in the capacity but the business is very hot. Sometimes, it is easy to cause quarrels because people on two tables hold each other.

If you want to blame, you can only blame the merchants for their treacherousness, narrowing the space of the two tables, so that you can free up more space to place one more place.

It is also a must, so when you play in these crowded stadiums, you must pay attention to the table next to you.
