Waking Up Again, Became a Post-50s

Over fifty years old, without children, she cared for her aging parents. After seeing them to their end, and with a bit of savings in hand, a mysterious space suddenly appeared.

What was ther...

Chapter 274 A Ten-Year-Old Shop

"Chairman Li, what are your thoughts?"

"Boss, I think Chairman Zong is right. If we want to get back to the way things were before, we have to reform, and we have to reform from the root, otherwise it won't work!"

"But in that case, state-owned enterprises would become private enterprises!"

"But whether it's a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, aren't they all enterprises of our country? Are we going to turn some heavy industries or cutting-edge industries into foreign enterprises?"

If things change, then it's truly all over!

"That's true, but no matter what, in some aspects, it's better to keep things under our own control!"

"What about the placement of these people? Does anyone have any good suggestions? We can't just leave them all idle at home!"

Putting everything else aside, just look at all the problems that have arisen in society right now. The police haven't stopped receiving reports lately; problems are popping up everywhere. So, if anyone has any good ideas, please share them!

After looking around, the government leader directly called out a name and asked?

"Chairman Li, do you have any good ideas? You've arranged so many jobs for the military over the years. You're an expert in personnel matters. Tell me about it!"

"There's no solution! But I do have some suggestions, so I'd like to share them with everyone and see if they're feasible."

"Chairman Li, please feel free to share any good suggestions you may have!"

"Yes! Would you like to go first?"

"Alright then! The first thing is to lower the standards for bank loans to encourage everyone to start their own businesses. The government will also make some adjustments to taxation, giving people at least a three-to-five-year grace period."

Second, we should increase some other service jobs. For example, now that high-rise buildings are being built everywhere, could we start by finding cleaners from laid-off workers?

Third, universities or other schools can offer technical majors, and factories and companies can then recruit specifically for these majors.

Fourth, encourage people with skills or expertise to become their own bosses.

That's all I can think of for now. Does anyone else have anything to add?

"But with so many laid-off workers, how to recruit people is also a problem!"

"That's simple. First, we need to address the issue of both working parents being laid off. At least one of them should be guaranteed a job."

"That's right. No matter what, we have to keep them alive."

...

After several days of meetings, the most important thing was to try to solve the employment problems of laid-off workers first.

To be honest, after thinking about it today, I realized that it could actually be of some help. For example, we could add a food street to Miaoshan Ecological Park and other ecological parks in other places.

Or, in communities that are about to be completed, food streets could be added, and so on.

Actually, arranging work isn't difficult; it's just a matter of prioritizing the individual! He can't accept the change in status right now, so there are some conflicts in the process.

But people are capable of accepting and changing facts at lightning speed, and that's why there are more and more of them on the streets now.

"Mianmian, what brings you here today!"

"What, can't I even have lunch here?"

"Why not? You've always been busy, haven't you?"

"Even when you're busy, you still have to eat, right? By the way, how's business lately?"

"To be honest, you can see it too, right? It's deserted. There are several stir-fry restaurants on this one street alone. If things continue like this, I'm thinking of just closing them down."

"No way! Your skills are impeccable!"

"Even if there's nothing to say, it can't stop the increasing number of people opening restaurants these days!"

"I remember your shop has been around for at least ten years!"

"It's been over ten years, what's wrong? Don't you have some good ideas!"

"I don't have any good ideas, but I do have a bad one. Do you want to hear it?"

"you say!"

"Try changing the signboard at the entrance and adding 'Ten-Year Old Shop' on it. Remember, as long as you persevere and become a decades-old shop, your business won't be too bad!"

"That's true. Most of the people who come here to eat now are regulars. They're used to this taste. If something is changed, it'll be fine, but if everyone changes, it won't taste the same."

"So, no matter what you do, you have to persevere. Also, if you want to attract more customers, you have to learn to innovate."

"this?"

"For example, you can cook the most basic dishes of all the major cuisines, if not all of them!"

"You're right, I'll give it a try later."

"Alright, you're busy! I'm leaving now!"

"Okay, I know you're busy, so I won't keep you."

"Um!"

"Dad, look, this is the money that Chairman Li left on the table!"

"Oh! That's just how she is. I've told her countless times that she doesn't have to pay anything here, but she just won't listen. Since they've already paid, let her stay!"

"Good, this Chairman Li is actually a really nice person!"

"That's really something! Where did she come from for dinner? She probably wants me to pass on a message to the others!"

"To pass on a message?"

"Yes! Have you seen all the new shops opening on the streets lately? People just love novelty. They're already tired of shops like ours. So, it's not just us who's thinking about changing shops, but probably others are too. She probably came here today specifically to tell me that we also need to learn to persevere and innovate in order to go far and last!"

"and you?"

“Anyway, there aren’t many people in the shop lately, and you can manage on your own. Just hold on for now. I’ll go find other people and talk to them about this. We can also discuss where we should start with this shop.”

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Most of these people were former educated youth who had returned to the city after being sent to the countryside. Because they had no employers to take them in, they did various small businesses with their own help.

This is not because more and more people are being laid off, but also because there are many people with ideas and courage. As a result, more and more people are choosing to do small business, which makes them competitors to those who used to do small business. However, how to survive is also a problem.

Thinking about this, I decided to remind everyone that, no matter what, we are all partners who started our businesses together in various industries.

Although they do different things, they can invest in many projects, and at least one-fifth of the money they initially earned came from them.

Furthermore, there are indeed many skilled craftsmen among them who should not have disappeared into the annals of history due to this upheaval.

Even though the government encourages laid-off workers to find employment, many people still cannot find work for various reasons.

So, some people shamelessly come to our house and beg our family members, but the elders in the family will never get involved in this matter.
