Seeing that it was time for dinner, Zhao Xiaohai took Li Qiang to this place to eat.
The people who came to eat were also the bosses of self-employed businesses nearby. There were many people in the room and all the tables were occupied.
Zhao Xiaohai shared a table with others.
Sitting opposite me was a middle-aged boss in his forties.
When the food came, Zhao Xiaohai politely offered the other party a bottle of beer.
The two started chatting.
"What businesses can be done on Dehua Street now?" asked Zhao Xiaohai.
"Not everything can be sold on Dehua Street now. There are directives not to sell large items, and the products cannot conflict significantly with those sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives or department stores. You can only operate businesses that supplement state-owned businesses. To put it bluntly, you're only allowed to do things that the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores are unwilling to do."
"You can sell children's clothing, but not shirts. You can sell batteries, but not flashlights. Forget about big-ticket items like bicycles and sewing machines. You can't ship them long distances, so you can only sell them locally..."
"Brother, how far is considered long-distance transportation?" Zhao Xiaohai asked.
"It's okay if it's across provinces."
At this point, the boss lowered his body and whispered across the table, "Actually, there are a lot of people secretly shipping things across provinces. After all, how much goods can we have in one province? Communicating between the north and the south is what business is all about, isn't it?"
"The Industrial and Commercial Bureau doesn't care?" Lin Yi asked in surprise.
"Hehe, we turn a blind eye. As long as the goods come in and there's no major conflict with the supply and marketing cooperative, basically no one will check. In fact, the road is the most troublesome. The inspection is much stricter than the local inspection. If they are caught, they will be confiscated."
Zhao Xiaohai thought to himself, if it was just confiscated, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
You don’t have to worry about your own space being confiscated.
These days, if you try to sell goods and get caught three times out of four, as long as you succeed once, you can not only plug the holes of the previous three times, but also make money. If you succeed twice, the profit can be doubled.
"What about applying for a business license?" Zhao Xiaohai continued to inquire.
"What business are you planning to run?" the middle-aged boss asked.
"Side foods, bell-bottom pants and the like, whatever's popular is sold." Zhao Xiaohai said.
"It's better to write groceries in the business scope. Groceries are all-encompassing and anything can be considered groceries." The boss said something that Zhao Xiaohai didn't understand.
This moment gave Zhao Xiaohai great inspiration.
Selling groceries can serve as a cover for gray industries such as electronic watches. Secondly, many things can be laundered in this way.
In the future, when people ask you where the funds come from, you can openly say that you earned them when you were a self-employed person.
There is currently no better way to conceal one's tracks than this.
After the meal, Zhao Xiaohai took the initiative to pay the bills of the bosses at the other table. In business, harmony brings wealth.
In the afternoon, Zhang Lei was asked to apply for a self-employed business license using his own identity, and he was told that it was okay to spend money and not to be afraid of it, and the sooner the better.
Zhang Lei agreed without hesitation, which seemed to indicate that he understood Zhao Xiaohai's intention.
As the number one general under Zhao Xiaohai, Zhao Xiaohai has full trust in him.
The first store must be managed by Zhang Lei.
He went to his shop and asked Li Qiang and Qi Wu to clean it up, and the room upstairs was empty.
Zhao Xiaohai let Zhang Lei and Zheng Lixia live here.
The excitement of Zhang Lei's sports meet has ended, so it's no longer appropriate to stay in a hotel.
Zheng Lixia has no place to live yet, so it's just right for her to come here to look after the store. It won't be too late for Zheng Lixia to move out when the second store opens.
After looking at it, I found that I also needed to install a telephone.
It is easy to leak secrets when using public phones for communication. Now I don’t have to worry about the money. I can install a phone and give orders myself.
Ask Li Qiang to clean up the house and make the signboard in the next two days, and wait for him to come back to officially open the business, then ride his motorcycle to find Old Man Ren.
It's better not to bother two people with the same task. Last time, it was Old Man Ren who asked someone to do it. This time, I can just ask him since he is familiar with it.
He said this as soon as he saw Old Man Ren.
"Jin Lulu can be released tomorrow."
When Zhao Xiaohai heard the news, he couldn't help but get excited.
My money was not wasted, and it has come to an end.
He told the story about installing the telephone again, and Old Man Ren patted his chest and promised that he would take care of it and do it tomorrow.
The next morning, the sun shone softly on the high walls of the detention center, as if trying to penetrate the cold building and give the people inside a touch of warmth and hope.
Jin Lulu woke up early in the small room of the detention center. This day was of great significance to her, as it was the day she regained her freedom.
She sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the small piece of sky outside the window with a slightly empty look, feeling mixed emotions.
Looking back on the days in the detention center, it was like a long and terrifying nightmare.
I couldn't eat or sleep well. Fortunately, Zhao Xiaohai spent a lot of money, otherwise the punishment in the cell would have fallen on me.
"Everything will be different after I go out today." Jin Lulu whispered to herself, with a hint of uncertainty in her voice, but more of it was the expectation for the future.
She knew very well that she had to say goodbye to the past and start over, but deep down she was worried whether the outside world would still accept her.
Zhao Xiaohai should remain the same as always, which will give Jin Lulu psychological comfort.
What should I do if Zhao Xiaohai doesn’t want me anymore?
I am a few years older than Zhao Xiaohai, so Zhao Xiaohai may not necessarily marry me.
He wanted to tie Zhao Xiaohai up, and now only his body was left.
Time passed slowly in the anxious waiting.
Finally, footsteps were heard outside the door, and then the cell door was opened. The guard said softly, "Jin Lulu, your paperwork has been completed. You can leave now."
