Chapter 276: General Assembly (Part 2)
Xie Yi drank a bowl of tea and continued:
"According to this situation, we still have to make plans for both scenarios.
As for setting up a stall, you can't be too enthusiastic. After all, not everyone is suitable for doing business.
I see that the Free Market sells everything: vegetables, birds, leather shoes...
We didn’t dare to expand our stalls, so we started with small businesses to explore the market, so that the capital would not be too high.”
Xie Yi was speaking the truth. He usually visited the street stalls.
The service attitude of the uncles and aunts is excellent. Even if you buy needles and thread, they will treat you with a smile.
I feel good when I spend the money in my pocket.
Gao Xiulan felt that her eldest son was right. It turned out that people became smarter after going to college.
Qian Baozhu rubbed his stomach and had an idea in his head.
State-owned restaurants are not having a good time either. Now the higher-ups are carrying out some crappy reforms and replacing them with outsiders as leaders.
I don't know what he's thinking. He has no skills and just keeps giving orders all day long.
The second chef in the restaurant was forced to leave, and now he is not very willing to cook.
He has the skills and connections, so why doesn't he go it alone?
"Xie Yi is right. I don't think I'm suitable for doing business with others. I'd better forget about setting up a stall."
Jin Qiaofeng is very self-aware and she still prefers to be a matchmaker.
Diao Yulian also nodded. She certainly couldn't lose face, so she could still live like this.
Why are you messing around like that? You might end up losing all your money.
"What did Xiaotong say?"
Zhang Dazui stretched his head and asked, this girl is now a graduate student, even more powerful than Xie Yi.
Lin Xiaotong inexplicably felt as if she was caught slacking off in class and was called upon to answer a question by the teacher.
“The aunties in our compound have walked more roads than I have eaten salt, and my ideas are still immature.
I think if our factory doesn’t make corresponding changes, the results may not be very good.
The market is very ruthless and if you can't keep up you will fall behind.
If we think about it from another perspective, our factory used to be one of the largest with tens of thousands of employees, and problems like this would occur.
Are the situations in those factories further down the line even worse?
In recent years, foreigners have come here to invest and build factories. They use the most advanced production lines. What can we use to compare with them?
There are now many more imported foreign goods in stores, including TVs, refrigerators and everything else.
In 1980, all pastry tickets were cancelled. What if we don’t need tickets to buy anything in the future?
The goods in the Free Market are of the same quality as those in the department store, but the prices are cheaper.
They all have the same after-sales service, where would you guys like to buy them?"
Zhang Dazui said bluntly: "Then I'd rather buy it outside."
Maybe it’s due to various factors, but now some things in department stores are not as fashionable as those sold at stalls.
Last time, she bought some stockings from a store introduced by Dazhen. She heard that they were fashionable products from Guangzhou and the quality was also good.
Thinking of my two young and beautiful daughters-in-law at home, I bought several pairs of shoes at once.
Speaking of department stores, I have to say that Lin Xiaotong stopped working in this job after she was admitted to university in 1978.
Originally, I thought that if Gao Xiulan wanted to try it, I wouldn't sell it to outsiders.
The last time she went to work, Sister Mei quietly asked her how much this job cost.
Sister Mei asked on behalf of her daughter. After all, this job is still quite popular nowadays.
There is only one job for each person, and if there is any sign of trouble, many people will be watching.
Gao Xiulan thought about it and decided to let her sell it. When she was on substitute duty before, she didn't like the feeling of being restricted while working there.
Finally, the job was sold to Sister Mei for six hundred yuan. It was Sister Mei who offered the job.
Gao Xiulan thought about it and felt that it made sense, as she often visited street vendors.
"You know what? The vegetables I bought from the cart a few days ago were quite fresh. They said they were grown at home."
Er Nengzi nodded, he also had something to say.
"I went to the Yuebin Restaurant in Cuihua Hutong before. The food was really good. They even got a business license from the Industry and Commerce Bureau."
Diao Yulian said sourly, "He must have been a millionaire by a long time ago."
The term "ten thousand yuan household" was reported as early as the late 1970s.
Nowadays, the average annual salary is only 700 to 800 yuan, and pork costs 60 cents per pound. How many pounds of pork can you buy with 10,000 yuan?
It’s incredible to think about it.
Guan Lamei sucked in her stomach. As a regular customer, she had a lot to say.
"Of course, that store is doing very good business, and every time I go there the tables are full.
Now that you mention it, I want to eat that garlic pork elbow again. It’s fat but not greasy, and the taste is amazing! ”
The few spare dollars she had were all spent on food.
In life, there is no trouble that cannot be solved by eating a meal of pork elbow.
If so, eat two meals.
"Gudong"
Guoqing swallowed, but couldn't hold back his saliva, so he wiped it with his saliva cup.
Everyone at the children's table was greedy. The adults all swallowed their saliva and quickly drank some tea to fill their stomachs.
Gao Xiulan really felt that Guan Lamei was living a very happy life.
Chengzi took the initiative to nestle in Lin Xiaotong's arms, and did not forget to pull Xie Yi's hand.
"Can I take Orange to eat sweet and sour pork ribs at Red Lantern's for the rest of the week without getting my clothes dirty?"
Yuebin Restaurant is a small restaurant in the alley. It has a small frontage and a few big red lanterns hanging at the door.
Orange simply called this place "Red Lantern".
"My daughter, this still depends on your mother's opinion. You might as well rely on your grandparents to take you there instead of relying on me, your father."
Xie Yi also coveted the five-strand soup, pot-fried tofu and pot-roasted duck.
Thinking of his empty pockets, he still had to rely on his wife for this matter.
"Okay, let's go this Sunday, I can just take my parents with me.
Orange, you have to keep your word.”
Lin Xiaotong gave Xie Yi a reproachful look and hugged her daughter in her arms.
This child is well-raised and is taller and heavier than his peers.
She really likes the sweet and soft girl goose. Although the child is a little naughty and playful on weekdays, she is very sensible in dealing with people and things. She is always the best baby in the compound.
When I have a cold, I cover my mouth and nose and avoid interacting with family members.
After all, taking injections and medicines is unbearable.
"Of course, I'm a good child who listens to my mother the most!"
Orange puffed out her little chest, put her face against her mother, and put her little hands around her mother's neck.
Gao Xiulan glanced at the time. It was getting late, and her stomach was also empty.
"It's already this late, let's all go home."
Yang Shujuan was about to leave when she suddenly thought of something.
"I heard that family planning will be implemented in the second half of the year, and each family can only have one child. Is this true?"
Her family, Xia Yue and Zhou Zhiwen, have been married for several years, but they don't have any children yet.
If we implement family planning in the future, we can only have one child.
That’s great, she was worried that something might happen to her daughter when she gave birth.
The third uncle was almost full of tea. He stood up unsteadily and was a little stunned when he heard the news.
"Is this true? Didn't they say a few years ago that a family could only have two children at most?"
There is a popular saying now: one child in a family is too few, two is just right, and three is too many.
Zhang Dazui also heard about it: "I guess so. Now the neighborhood office comes to my house to register the birth of a child."
"Isn't it said nowadays that fewer children, better quality, and a happy life?
It’s much more expensive to raise a child now than it was back then.”
Gao Xiulan nodded. She had several brothers and sisters in her family, and all the money they earned went into their own pockets.
Chengzi didn't know whether he understood or not, but he just hugged Lin Xiaotong's neck even tighter.
Diao Yulian was still a little unhappy and kept muttering on the way back.
"How can we just have one child? What if our Jiabao's first child is a girl?
So I can’t have children anymore? Then the roots of our Wu family will be cut off.”
"You think too much. Jiabao is only in his teens. There's still a long way to go before he gets to know the future. Why are you worrying so much?"
"Wu Shengli, I think you're just itching for trouble. Can't you just talk properly? Your mouth sounds like it's been shot."
…
After finishing the game in the evening, Xie Yi hugged Lin Xiaotong and said:
"Wife, I was smart. I got sterilized early, so I don't have to worry about having children.
The doctor my dad recommended to me is really good. Now I don’t have to go to the hospital to get condoms anymore.”
