Beyond 76 years.
Most of those who went to the countryside stayed in the villages. After all, they've been there for so many years, and eventually they all got married locally.
However, most people returned to the city.
This has led to a shortage of job openings.
Now that Dongfang Fuxing has reached this position, he naturally has to take responsibility for the security of Beijing.
There's not much fun to be had these days.
Coupled with the inability to find jobs, the only entertainment these unemployed youths have is to wander the streets, flirt with women, and boast, which has caused great trouble for public security.
Of course, the situation improved somewhat after 1978.
Many people have started setting up small stalls outside to sell things, and there aren't many people arresting them anymore.
But in any case, this can't be considered a serious matter.
Nobody knows if they might come back one day and accuse someone of "speculation and profiteering".
He needs a stable place where he can create more jobs.
At this time, Qin Family Village came to his attention.
At first, he didn't pay much attention, until he got home and his father mentioned it and he did some investigation.
Good heavens, Qin Family Village is rolling in money!
Throughout the year, almost every household that participated in the breeding farm project received a four-figure dividend.
If this model can be promoted, then there will be no need to worry at all.
But after learning more, he realized one thing: there's no such thing as a free lunch.
The village of Wang Shouren was built by a series of unexpected events, and it would be difficult to rebuild it in the future.
“If we’re talking about developing the economy, there is a way. Qin Family Village is planning to expand outwards recently, but we don’t know if the current policies support it,” Wang Shouren asked.
In fact, among these street thugs, some were poor, but quite a few were rich.
Just like how street vendors can set up stalls nowadays, many of them will think about how to make money in their spare time. They wouldn't feel comfortable wandering the streets if they didn't make money. As for how to make money? Undoubtedly, it's by buying goods from those big suppliers and reselling them. These big suppliers refer to people like Kui Datou.
Those who dared to go south to buy goods all made a fortune.
The rest are the goods that these street hustlers get from them.
In terms of stability, this group is not really stable or unstable; they are just a bunch of self-employed individuals without any oversight.
Wang Shouren actually didn't have any expectations for such a thing.
"You should know the current situation of our Qin Family Village, whether or not we should allow individuals to do business."
"Individual business?" Dongfang Fuxing frowned.
"Well, things have already loosened up in the south, haven't they? I know there are concerns, but given the current state of the factory, it won't be easy to create so many new jobs. Besides, there are quite a few people selling things on the street now, and turning a blind eye isn't a long-term solution. If you don't give them confidence, they won't dare to truly treat this as their main job."
"Currently, our Qin Family Village sells vegetables, eggs, and chicken. In the future, we may consider further processing them ourselves, such as selling spicy hot pot directly."
"Malatang? What's that?"
"You can think of it as a food stall, pushing a small food cart and selling some things."
"They were street vendors before liberation," Director Wu summarized.
"Peddlers and laborers have always existed since ancient times. We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Of course, I'm just offering a suggestion. Also, regarding the issue of employment, my motorcycle factory should be able to solve some problems next year. However, we will need your approval for a piece of land nearby."
"Your motorcycle factory needs to be expanded?" Dongfang Fuxing was taken aback.
"Hey, you don't know this, do you?" Director Wu said with a smile. "His motorcycle factory is doing very well, and the prices are very high. The post office, the police station, and other places that need motorcycles basically order from him. Mainly because the performance of his motorcycles is really good."
"How much tax revenue do you estimate there will be in a year?" Dongfang Fuxing asked.
"It's hard to say." Wang Shouren shook his head. "It depends on how many motorcycles I can produce. Besides, I've already applied to the higher-ups that the civilian market for motorcycles will be opened up in the future. Prices will be adjusted upwards. I'll be going to Hong Kong at the end of this year. I reckon we'll attract foreign investment. By the way, don't let this get out of my mind. But you should think about where we're going to use this foreign exchange."
Foreign exchange is something that is extremely scarce in this day and age.
In this era, whenever there is foreign exchange, almost every place rushes to grab it like madmen.
Why? Because foreign countries don't recognize our currency. To buy high-tech products, we have to use foreign exchange. The frustration and hardship involved are beyond what outsiders can understand.
In 1979, according to official data, the ratio of Rabbit Coin to White Eagle Coin was 1.555:1.
In reality, even a 5:1 exchange rate doesn't guarantee you'll get the right amount of foreign currency.
This is an era where you lose money to earn foreign exchange. Any activity that can generate foreign exchange is given top priority.
"This is truly a wonderful surprise!" Dongfang Fuxing was overjoyed, but he didn't lose his composure. Wang Shouren's foreign exchange came with conditions.
Important location?
This needs to be studied carefully.
With the business matters discussed to this point, we can basically consider this phase over. As for future cooperation, that will depend on the results of the investigations conducted by both parties.
It probably won't be too bad.
After a satisfying meal, everyone went home.
Dongfang Fuxing glanced at the sky outside, got into his car, made a turn, and drove towards his elderly father's house.
But Director Wu, he stuck with Wang Shouren and wouldn't get off Wang Shouren's motorcycle.
"I mean, you're a bureau chief, and you don't even drive your car over?"
"He brought me here. Aren't you going the same way? Could you give me a ride?"
"Alright, I've become the driver now. Get in." Wang Shouren handed Director Wu a helmet.
"Wow, they're doing this now?"
"It's always better to be safe."
"Too."
"Hey, did your spy really find anything out? Why are you suddenly making a move?" Wang Shouren asked as he straddled his motorcycle and twisted the throttle.
"Hey, you know what, we actually found something out of the interrogation. But it's not appropriate to talk about it here. If you're interested, come over to my place and I'll tell you."
"Come on, I'm not interested in your stuff." Wang Shouren refused directly: "This gentleman, are you planning to achieve something?"
"There are reasons for this, and there are also reasons related to my own situation; otherwise, I wouldn't have made this connection."
"I knew it..."
