The signing of the agreement went very smoothly. Meg had already prepared the contract. The two signed it and pressed their fingerprints, and the contract came into effect.
Meg took out the banknotes that he had already prepared and gave them to Vicky. He explained, "These are banknotes from Buffett Banks. You can go to Buffett Banks and exchange them for cash."
"Okay, thank you very much." Vicky stood up and bowed deeply to Meg.
Meg could be said to be a great benefactor that she had met at the lowest point of her life.
"You're welcome. After all, I am also one of the shareholders of the Black Cat Song Troupe. I also hope that the opera troupe can become better." Meg said with a smile. He took the package from the side and said, "There are some clothes inside. I saw that the costumes of the actors of the opera troupe were very old, so I custom-made a batch of costumes for them. Most of them were made according to Anne's comics."
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness." Vicky opened the package and looked at the gorgeous clothes. Her eyes lit up.
Now, almost all the costumes of the opera troupe were made by themselves.
There was no other way. The conditions were limited. If any of the costumes were custom-made, they would cost thousands of copper coins.
Originally, after receiving the money, the first thing she had planned to do was to change the costumes for the troupe. She did not expect Meg to be so considerate as to prepare costumes for everyone.
"Your dress is a bit complicated. It's not ready yet. I'll have someone send it to you in a few days," Meg continued.
Vicky's black Lolita dress also looked a bit old, but the layers of black did not look too obvious.
"I … I'm fine …" Vicky blushed when she heard that Meg was going to send her a dress.
"I'll rent this opera house to your opera troupe for five years at the price of one copper coin. I'll also reserve the two buildings next door for you. If you want to expand the venue, you can come to me at any time." Meg glanced at his watch. "It's almost time for your performance. We'll wait outside. I think it'll take some time for you to get changed."
"Mr. Hades, thank you and your family for supporting the Black Cat Song Troupe." Vicky stood up and bowed to Meg and his family.
Meg waved his hand and left the office.
Vicky called the members backstage and distributed the clothes that Meg had brought.
"Commander, when did you order new costumes for us?" Old Mi looked at the gorgeous costumes in his hands. He was pleasantly surprised.
"Yeah, this material feels really comfortable to the touch. It must be very expensive, right?"
"Whoa! It fits perfectly! "
Everyone chimed in and was very satisfied with the costumes.
"I didn't order this for everyone. It was a gift from Mr. Hades." Vicky smiled. She didn't expect Mr. Hades to be so considerate. He even made everyone's measurements just right.
"Wow! This boss is so nice! Not only did he give us the venue, he even prepared costumes for us! "
"Yeah, if it wasn't for him, we would still be starving in that lousy courtyard."
"But commander, you're not going to sell us out, are you?"
Everyone sighed. They looked at Vicky and couldn't help but ask this question.
They had experienced the fickleness of human nature over the past two years. They knew that there was no such thing as unconditional love in this world.
"Mr. Hades has invested in our troupe, so he can be considered one of the bosses behind the scenes. However, he won't interfere with the management of the troupe. Don't worry, I won't give up control of the troupe," Vicky consoled them with a smile.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief when they heard this. After all, the Macca Troupe had tried to swallow them up before, and had even poached a few of their members.
Now, they had a new boss. However, this wouldn't affect the troupe in any way. On the contrary, they felt like they had gained a backer.
"The remaining outfits should be for Ah Bao and the others, right?" Ibaka looked at the remaining outfits in the bag with a complicated expression.
Everyone looked at the remaining six or seven outfits in the bag, and thought of their companions who had accompanied them day and night. Their spirits sank.
"Why are you still thinking about those traitors? They were no longer part of our Black Cat Song Troupe the moment they left," Old Mi said angrily.
"Don't say that. Ah Bao and the others have gone through thick and thin with us. The troupe was already forced into a corner. Even if they hadn't left, I would have brought them to join the Macca Troupe. After all, survival is more important than anything else." Vicky shook her head. "I'm going to have a chat with them in a few days. If they're willing to return, I hope that everyone will accept them as usual."
Every member of the opera troupe had been brought back by Vicki. She had spent two years with them and taught them how to become professional opera singers from beginners. The feelings she had for them and the energy she had put into them made it impossible for her to give up on any of them.
Now that she had the capital, as well as the opera house, it was time to invite back the members who had been poached.
The opera troupe was severely understaffed. Each person was practically working as two, and the completion rate of the opera had dropped significantly.
If she could recruit the members who had left, this situation would be greatly alleviated.
She also had to consider a long-term plan to nurture opera singers. Opera singers had a lifespan, and a professional opera troupe needed a steady stream of new talent.
"That's right. The night before Fourth Sister left, she was sleeping on the same bed as me. She was so hungry that she tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She woke up to drink water several times. She even asked me softly if we could eat more if there were fewer people," Ibaka said with a sigh.
Everyone fell silent. That period of time was indeed hard to bear. Everyone had considered leaving.
Vicky clapped her hands. "Alright, everyone. Change into your outfits and get ready to perform."
…
"Sir, I've asked around and finally found out that the Black Cat Song Troupe has moved here. It took a lot of effort." Outside the opera house, Pascal said to the young man beside him with a fawning expression.
Bobby, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, looked at the wooden plaque hanging high up and frowned. "Didn't you say that they couldn't hold on any longer? Why did they suddenly move to Romo Street and build such a big opera house? "
Pascal's expression stiffened. He rolled his eyes and said, "I'm guessing that they moved here without permission. Hasn't Romo Street been completely deserted in the past two years? It used to be the venue of a circus, but it was abandoned and no one cared about it. They most likely moved here on their own accord, just like the shabby courtyard that no one wanted."
"That's not impossible." Bobby nodded. He was well aware of the Black Cat Song Troupe's situation. Even food was a problem. It didn't make sense for them to suddenly have the money to rent such a big venue.
"Be polite when you go in later, but you must make Vicky agree to join your Marca Song Troupe." Bobby tidied up his clothes and walked into the opera house.
"Of course, of course. Don't worry!" Pascal patted his chest.
