Currently, the six-story building on South Street is still under construction, and the municipal government has not announced its specific purpose.
"The department store is expected to be completed around the middle of the year, but the bidding process may not begin until the end of the year."
I'll let you know when the time comes.
Director Zhao said.
"OK."
Zhang Cheng nodded, lowering his voice.
"Director Zhao, how do we conduct the bidding process for the department store?"
"It's not decided yet."
I suspect it will be a combination of several methods.
Director Zhao gave a brief explanation, but the specific details were not even approved by the municipal party committee, let alone him.
After chatting for another ten minutes or so, Zhang Cheng left the supply and marketing cooperative carrying a sack containing 11,000 treasury bonds.
He bought a cigarette and rode his motorcycle to South Street.
When Lao Liu, who collected treasury bonds for Jiang Yuhong, saw him, his eyes widened in astonishment.
How long has it been, and this country bumpkin has already gotten his hands on 11,000 treasury bonds? Does he have that much influence in Funing County?
Zhang Cheng exchanged 11,000 treasury bonds for cash, and now he has 39,000 in his hands.
He rushed to the police station, returned the motorcycle to Zhao Daming, promised to have dinner at his house that evening, and then hurriedly returned to South Street.
Busy, everything is happening all at once.
Zhang Cheng thought about buying a motorcycle, but when he thought about how imported motorcycles cost 20,000 yuan, he immediately gave up the idea.
In this era, is it easy to make money? With loans from rural credit cooperatives as a safety net, there's no worry about capital.
But what about prices? Rice costs 40 cents, pork belly costs 2.7 yuan, and an imported motorcycle costs 20,000 yuan.
An ordinary family could save up for a lifetime and still not be able to afford it.
The telephone line costs 2,800, plus a monthly fee.
It's simply not something ordinary people can afford.
Forget about cars.
Zhang Cheng arrived at Li Yuanyuan's rented apartment carrying a large bag full of cash. Zhang Danao and Zhang Jianhao were both there.
"Bang!"
Zhang Cheng placed the large bag on the table, sat down, poured himself a glass of cold water, and gulped it down.
"Brother, we can't do the herb and treasury bond business anymore, what else can we do?"
Zhang Jianhao asked, revealing his ambition to work for Zhang Cheng and buy a bicycle by the end of the year.
"What do you think is the most profitable business right now?" Zhang Cheng asked.
Zhang Da Nao and Zhang Jianhao stared at each other.
"Selling wild game?" Zhang Da Nao asked cautiously.
"Big Head Bro, stop messing around. It's only the beginning of spring, where would you find so many wild animals?"
Zhang Jianhao's eyes darted around.
"Brother, I think opening a restaurant is the most profitable business."
The food at the Guoyun Hotel is so expensive, yet so many people still eat there.
I estimate I can earn at least a thousand a month.
A thousand a month? That's looking down on the cost of living in Funing County.
As the largest and most luxurious hotel in the county, the Guoyun Hotel would be a disgrace to the municipal party committee if it didn't make a monthly profit of 10,000 yuan.
"Making money is inseparable from food, clothing, shelter, and transportation."
Li Yuanyuan spoke, a smile on her face.
"Now the central government is calling on people to go into business, and people's consumption will continue to rise."
To improve the quality of life, one must improve the basic necessities of life: clothing, food, housing, and transportation.
"Housing is too expensive now; ordinary people can't afford it."
"Okay, let's not talk about motorcycles and cars."
Bicycles will definitely become a major mode of transportation for ordinary people.
"Clothing and food should be the most profitable industries in the next few years."
Zhang Cheng was somewhat surprised. Looking at Li Yuanyuan, who was speaking eloquently, he instinctively asked,
"You mean, we're going to go into clothing and food next?"
"Forget about catering. Guoyun Hotel is half state-owned enterprise and a time-honored brand. We can't compete with them."
Most importantly, we have no capital.
Li Yuanyuan's beautiful face radiated confidence.
"So, if you want to make money, you can try the clothing industry."
Zhang Cheng felt that Li Yuanyuan's words made sense.
“I’m planning to buy a shop on South Street and open a clothing store. You can take care of it, what do you think?” Zhang Cheng asked Li Yuanyuan.
"Sure!" Li Yuanyuan didn't refuse, her beautiful eyes brimming with excitement and anticipation.
“I told you before that my family has been in business for generations, I wasn’t lying to you.”
I haven't had formal training, but I've been exposed to it since childhood, and I believe I'm no less capable than anyone else.
Zhang Cheng smiled and nodded, satisfied with Li Yuanyuan's confidence.
"Making clothes is not that simple."
The problem lies in the sourcing channels.
There are no garment factories in Funing County.
"You can go to Wenzhou."
Li Yuanyuan blinked.
“These past two days, I’ve been collecting treasury bonds. I’ve heard that most of the clothing in Jiangsu and Zhejiang comes from Wenzhou, Jiaxing, and Shaoxing.”
Zhang Da Nao and Zhang Jianhao were stunned. This woman is so powerful?
"Things aren't going well in Wenzhou."
Zhang Cheng frowned. In the 1980s, Wenzhou's economy was booming, but its public security was also chaotic, and all sorts of shady characters were making a living there.
"Isn't Big Head Bro and Swordsman helping me?"
"Yes, yes, we can help Li Zhiqing!"
"Don't worry, Er Gouzi."
With me and Jianhao here, we'll make sure Li Zhiqing isn't bullied.
Zhang Cheng watched as Zhang Danao and Zhang Jianhao patted their chests and shook his head almost imperceptibly.
But he was still willing to let them try.
Danger and opportunity coexist.
Once the groundwork is laid, everything else will go smoothly.
Zhang Cheng opened his large bag and, to the astonishment of the three men, took out two stacks of ten-yuan notes and placed them on the table.
"If we're going to do it, let's make it the biggest and most famous in Funing County."
You should still have over nine thousand left, right? Add that to the four thousand here, and you can rent five adjacent shops on South Street, and connect them all together…”
"Remember, when renting a storefront, the longer the contract, the better."
Li Yuanyuan was also intimidated by Zhang Cheng's boldness; he was willing to spend nearly 15,000 yuan on a clothing business...
"In the clothing business, I don't ask you how to do it."
It depends on how much money you can make by the end of the year.
If you run out of money, just come and get it.
"Okay!" Li Yuanyuan nodded emphatically.
"Tomorrow, go to the police station to get a certificate."
