Chapter 158 Time
Waits for No One After Fang Mingche waited for the return banquet, he talked to Wang Dexian on the phone about Qin Mu's Cantonese restaurant.
"Well, I'll go talk to him about this. Brothers should be clear about accounts! It's the same thing." Wang Dexian agreed.
"This will make it easier to operate. Let's take people to taste the flavor on May Day. You can bring the bayberry." Fang Mingche is willing to cooperate with Lao Wang. In addition to his family background and ability, he thinks his way of thinking is very suitable for business.
Wang Dexian said: "That has to wait until she is free. Military Doctor Yang is much busier than me. On holidays like this, she often has to be on duty."
Young people should be on duty during holidays. We can't let the old and middle-aged backbones be on duty? It will probably take several years before they can retire to the second line. Unless they have no ambition in their careers.
Tsk, fortunately Xiao Fang gave him a washing machine, otherwise he would really be reduced to washing clothes. As for eating, they both eat in the cafeteria now. Fortunately, the canteen of the municipal government has subsidies, and the chef's cooking skills are good, so it is not impossible to eat there for a long time. If you can get a rank that allows you to eat at a private kitchen, it will be even better. !
Xiao Fang must have thought of this a long time ago, right? In the past, when he came to his dormitory, he stared at the dirty clothes that were soaking in his basin and had not been washed yet. When he was at home, these must have been washed by his mother.
But later, when he lived in the dormitory, although it was not too far away, his mother was worried about people talking about him, so she didn't come to clean up for him.
"It's better to be busy, it's better to be busy. Being busy is what the backbone of the business does!" Fang Mingche said with a smile.
As for Wang Dexian's single room in a single room in a tube building, but he still rented a second suite as a wedding room, the attitude of his family was also very clear.
Uncle San said that he was afraid of being criticized for seeking enjoyment like this. This is not hard work and simplicity, and it has lost the revolutionary tradition! If the news spreads, the Wang family will be criticized. After all, there are still many comrades who have not been able to get single dormitories. Few people in the family agreed with him.
But after a moment of silence, Grandpa said that Xiao Si'er paid for it himself, not from the public, and no one else could interfere. Besides, he had the ability to let his wife live a better life, so what was wrong with that? Now is not the time to eat from the same pot.
Moreover, people should see that those who are capable and dare to do things can live a better life. This can inspire more people to strive!
Fang Mingche listened to what Wang Dexian said, touched his chin and said, "Did Grandpa Wang really say that?"
This old revolutionary is quite able to keep up with the times. It would be even better if it was due to the influence of contacting the core figures.
"Of course. Otherwise, wouldn't I be accused of betraying the revolutionary family? This should be a good thing, as it loosens the constraints on businessmen."
Fang Mingche nodded, "I think so too. I feel that as long as you don't pursue extravagance and waste, you should be allowed to spend the money you earn. Otherwise, where does the motivation to work hard to make money come from? It's a good thing, it's being loosened up little by little."
Wang Dexian said, "You know that in the past, it was basically overseas Chinese who returned to China, and there were very few overseas Chinese, right? Unless they were the kind of people who were about to fall and were eager to return to their roots."
Overseas Chinese have already acquired foreign nationality, and they are considered foreign citizens. They are not afraid of being detained when they return. If it really happens, the embassy of the country where they are located can raise objections. Overseas Chinese are different, they are still Chinese nationals, but they live abroad. If they come back with money, people are worried that they will be detained by the country.
Fang Mingche said, "Have you done statistics? Are the number of overseas Chinese returning home increasing?"
"Yes. Because some overseas Chinese who sent their elderly back home have gone abroad again. This is a waste of money."
Fang Mingche said, "The higher-ups are still very determined to reform and open up."
Uncle Gu secretly asked him a few days ago if he could overturn the verdict.
He didn't say anything, but felt that the old man was really a bit shrewd. He saw the whole thing from the fact that Teacher Qiu was seconded to the government department. He is quite perceptive!
Well, some time ago, Lao Wang's unit had already completed the procedures for Teacher Qiu to be seconded from Beijing Normal University.
Although Fang Mingche didn't say anything, Uncle Gu imagined a lot and felt that he must have received inside information. He also said that if it was true, he would start to believe in the authenticity of the reform.
Tsk, the old man is quite suspicious. His son has returned from the place where he was sent down, but he still stubbornly refuses to believe it. But what he said makes sense. Maybe people just think that Gu Zhiguang is lame and is a burden? He can't do the work, but he still has to eat! We couldn't starve him to death, so we just sent him back.
At that time, Fang Mingche even reflected on himself, wondering if he had been too confident.
It had been 16 months since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, and people overseas and the public finally began to believe that reform and opening up were real and would not be reversed.
After hanging up the phone and returning home, Fang Mingche went straight to the east room of the main house to read. The midterm exam was in two days, so he had to cram for it. He didn't pursue scholarships, but his grades couldn't be too bad. After all, he wanted to continue his studies after graduating from college.
Now that the economy is good, he certainly won't be in a hurry to find a job. Continuing to study for a master's degree or a doctorate would give him much more free time than working. Moreover, in this era, academic qualifications are really valuable.
If you graduate from college and enter a government department, you will start as a section clerk; if you enter the army, you will start as a platoon leader. But if you graduate with a master's degree, you can start as a deputy section leader in a government department; if you enter the army, you can start as a company leader. The time spent studying for a master's or a doctorate will not be wasted.
If you want to pursue further studies, your grades should at least be acceptable.
There were still people walking around in the east wing of the small side courtyard, but the main room was the quietest. Since the office was moved out, the main
room was very quiet during the day. Well, the east room of the main room was where his parents lived after they came, and it would also be the room where Ayan would stay in confinement after giving birth. The west room was where Aunt Gu hanged herself, and it was also the room where the TV was placed.
Because at the beginning, the TV in his house was only turned on at six in the evening. It became a habit, and now it is not turned on during the day.
At six o'clock, Yanyan wants to watch children's programs, and then she will turn on the TV. The children in the slum will also carry stools over. At seven o'clock, the "News Broadcast" starts, and the adults in the slum will also come to watch, and they will end before the "Evening News".
Some people also asked if the TV could be moved to the east room to watch.
Fang Mingche said, "My wife will be in confinement in the east room soon."
The TV cannot be moved, and it is up to her to come or not. No one asked again after that.
But today, the noise from the slum still came over, and it sounded like a quarrel. The voice was very high-pitched!
Mother Lin went to the half-moon door and listened through the gap. Then she came back with a funny look on her face.
At this moment, there are only three adults at home. Fang Mingche has no classes and is reviewing at home. Lin's mother and Lin Yan are at home as usual. Only Yanyan has not come back from school yet.
Seeing the smile on her mother's face, Lin Yan supported her waist and walked over, "What's the matter?"
She is less than a month away from her due date. She insists on walking dozens of laps in the small side yard every day. The last time she gave birth to Yanyan, it was quite easy. After the attack, she was sent to the commune hospital on a flatbed cart and gave birth in less than half an hour.
At that time, she worked all day. So now, she has to move more.
Lin's mother said, "It's Hu Yong and his family who are arguing with Zhu Dahai's family. In order to compete with Qi Shun for buyers, Hu Yong and his family lowered the price of vegetables by one or two cents per pound. Qi Shun also lowered the price, and the two sides started to argue. Both of them buy vegetables directly from farmers, and there are not so many people to share the benefits, so the cost is lower than Zhu Dahai. Now, Zhu Dahai is the unlucky one!"
Lin Yan also laughed immediately. Zhu Dahai learned to do business from her and wanted to snatch her customers. As for Qi Shun, they had spread rumors that they used a scrap tricycle to transport vegetables and eggs. This made it impossible for them to continue doing this business.
It was Hu Yong and his friends who took over her profitable business and took advantage of it without any expression. She didn't like it very much either.
So the three of them were bidding to attract customers, and it didn't matter who got into trouble. She just watched the fun and had fun!
Fang Mingche also understood, and this was a normal development. In later generations, when the eldest and second eldest brothers competed with each other, the third and fourth
eldest brothers would often get into trouble first. In fact, Hu Yong and his friends had come to him to ask for advice before, thinking that he would definitely not like Qi Shun.
But Fang Mingche flatly refused to give them advice. They fought back and forth, and whoever won would not get any benefit. Why did he bother to get involved?
In this matter, his family was the biggest victim. A loss of 2,500 yuan per month! Fortunately, he had a good relationship with the two villages, so the villages would not be against him because he didn't collect vegetables. It would be strange if he would get involved and work for nothing!
But this price war was not originally a high-end business war method, it was easy to think of.
Fang Mingche smiled, turned a page in his hand, and ignored it. No matter how they quarreled or fought. Anyway, he didn't live in the slum, so he pretended not to know. He tried to read quietly and not be affected.
After a while, it was probably Aunt Yuan who came out to stop it, and the two sides calmed down. However, the conflict still exists and will not be eliminated.
In the evening, Gao Xiang came to watch the "News Broadcast" and whispered to Fang Mingche: "Zhu Dahai and Hu Yong quarreled, and most of the people in the slum were watching the fun and gloating. Some people also said that they were not sharing the spoils equally."
Nowadays, the two groups of people who do business and those who don't in the slum are gradually forming an opposition. Therefore, watching the people who are doing business quarreling, the people who are not doing business are quite happy.
"As for how to resolve the conflict between Zhu Dahai, Hu Yong and others, someone gave Aunt Yuan an idea and asked you to go over and mediate it."
Fang Mingche sneered, "I have nothing to do with it. I will never get involved in this matter."
Gao Xiang nodded, "Yeah. But it's a good thing you don't live in a slum, otherwise it would inevitably affect you."
"Then what did Aunt Yuan say?"
"Aunt Yuan just forbade them to fight and quarrel. And she also said something."
Aunt Yuan said at the time that it was unreasonable to ask Teacher Fang to resolve this matter.
She also said to Hu Yong and his friends, "I heard that you went to ask for advice, hoping that they would give you some advice on how to deal with Qi Shun. You took advantage of them so much, but you didn't show any appreciation. How can you be so embarrassed?"
At that time, Hu Yong said, "What advantage did we take from them? They can't buy vegetables from farmers. If we don't take over, farmers will
definitely come to settle accounts with them, right?" Aunt Yuan also sneered at that time, "They made such a profitable business, and you picked it up for free. Isn't this taking advantage? How did you get your high income now? Don't you know? The handicraft cooperative at the beginning provided you with a stall for three months. What did you provide for them?"
Everyone present nodded. That's right, you picked up such a big advantage for free and didn't admit it.
If Teacher Fang makes money, then he is indeed more capable than others, and they should think about this. But Zhu Dahai followed suit, and Hu Yong and his friends picked up their profitable business for free. The people in the slum looked at them even more unbalanced.
After saying this, Hu Yong and his friends were naturally embarrassed, and the noise of their quarrels became quiet for a while. Zhu Dahai was the same.
Aunt Yuan asked them to value peace and discuss a solution among themselves. Living in a slum, are they going to quarrel and fight every day?
Fang Mingche nodded when he heard Gao Xiang's retelling, "Aunt Yuan is an understanding person. But hasn't she always pretended not to know that we are in the vegetable business?"
Gao Xiang said, "After all the trouble, how can she pretend? If she continues to pretend, she is not just pretending to be stupid, but treating others as fools. She also told Zhu Dahai, Hu Yong and others to make a fuss, and see how it ends. Although the speculation office will not arrest people now, it is hard to say what the consequences will be if you make a big fuss like this. After hearing this, both sides really calmed down. After all, nowadays, with a good life of earning hundreds of dollars a month, no one wants to make a fuss."
People who came to watch TV arrived one after another, but Hu Yong and others who used to come did not come. They must be embarrassed!
Zhu Wenjuan came.
Fang Mingche raised his eyebrows. This was the first time! After Zhu Wenjuan got married, she often rode with him to and from school. She rode Gu Zhiguang's old bicycle.
However, she never came to watch TV. It was estimated that she was too kind to her mother-in-law whom she had never met. If she acted as if nothing had happened, the father and son might not be happy.
She also said that she wanted to buy a TV this year and put it in the main room.
At that time, Fang Mingche said, "That's great. If you buy a TV, you won't have to go to my house to watch it. Your main room is much wider."
At this moment, Zhu Wenjuan saw Fang Mingche staring at her in surprise, and raised the book in her hand, "I have a question I don't understand, so I came to discuss it with you."
So, Fang Mingche said, "The main room will be a little noisy now, come to the east wing." It happened that he was preparing to review and didn't plan to watch TV.
"Okay!"
The next day, the two went to school together again. When they pushed their bicycles out, they met Hu Yong coming back to get vegetables. He saw Fang Mingche was a little uncomfortable.
Fang Mingche said, "Anyway, you did help us resolve the farmers' dissatisfaction, but there's no need to do this."
Hu Yong then scratched his head, "Teacher Fang, I actually came to you for advice before. I'm so sorry!"
Fang Mingche smiled and said nothing, and didn't ask about their affairs.
But on the way, Zhu Wenjuan told him, "Zhu Dahai discussed with them and asked them not to lower the price anymore. Hu Yong disagreed, saying that Qi Shun would lower the price."
Hu Yong and Zhu Shun all lowered their prices, and if Zhu Dahai didn't follow suit, no one would buy from his stall. But if he followed suit, his profits would become thinner. And it wasn't just a one-time reduction, the other two companies were still continuing to reduce their prices. If he continued to follow suit, he wouldn't be able to bear it.
Fang Mingche said, "Zhu Dahai will definitely threaten you. If you continue to force him, we will all be finished?"
"Yes. He said that he can't be the only one who suffers, and we must suffer together. If they lower the price again, he will sue them for disrupting the market, or simply destroy their business."
Fang Mingche laughed, "How to destroy, pull out the valve core or just break their brakes? Forget it, let them make trouble."
Nowadays, there is no relevant agency to manage these things. The market is indeed developing in an disorderly manner. It's just that they live in the same slum, which intensifies the conflict.
Zhu Wenjuan said, "How do you think this will end?"
"Everyone should suffer in the end and sit down to talk. After all, everyone is trying to make money, and harmony can make money. But whether Zhu Dahai will be dragged to death in this process is hard to say. However, it has nothing to do with us."
The slum continued to quarrel over the price of vegetables, but according to Lin's mother, buying vegetables is getting cheaper and cheaper. Even the eggs that Han Mei came to buy are one cent cheaper each.
Aunt Yuan continued to mediate them again and again, saying that they were not allowed to fight in the compound.
Other families also pulled them back, because if they really made a big fuss, they would definitely not be able to be the model compound this year. Everyone would have fewer opportunities to make money from the jobs assigned by the higher-ups. You guys make a lot of money and don't care about this, but we do.
So, the price war between the three companies is still going on. Zhu Dahai really went to sue. He knew that he was a small figure, so he joined forces with the people in the vegetable market. It was a state-owned unit, so their business was naturally affected.
In this way, the price war was finally suppressed. But it is said that Zhu Dahai's business was also greatly affected and his vitality was seriously damaged. I don't know if he can continue.
Zhu Wenjuan couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that a few cents could cause such a big thing."
After the midterm exam, Fang Mingche breathed a sigh of relief. But Lin Yan's belly was getting bigger and bigger, as if it was inflated. It seemed to be much bigger than when she was pregnant with Yanyan. This really made him feel uneasy.
He couldn't help but think of the palace drama he watched with Yanyan in his previous life. It seemed that some concubines had a difficult birth because they ate too well during pregnancy.
Seeing him worried, Lin's mother said, "Don't worry, Yan's belly is within the normal range. How dare I not care?"
She is her biological mother, not her mother-in-law! Can she ignore her daughter's life and death for the sake of her grandson and granddaughter's good development?
Fang Mingche thought about it and it made sense, so he stopped thinking divergently. She is bigger than Yanyan at that time, probably because she eats better. But as long as it is still within the normal range, it's okay.
The main reason is that the technology of caesarean section is not mature nowadays!
Since everything is fine, Fang Mingche drove the pickup truck to the office. He still has things to worry about at the travel agency.
Well, except for going to school and going home from school when it is inconvenient to drive, he usually drives when he goes out.
The two scrap yards deliver goods together, once a week. All the goods can be delivered together, after all, there is such a big compartment in the back.
But at other times, this car basically belongs to Fang Mingche.
Zhu Wenjuan couldn't help but joke, "I heard that Gao Xiang used to use Lin Yan's car all the time. It would be better if you drove to and from school."
Gao Xiang and Lin Yan's class schedules were not the same, but she and Fang Mingche attended every class together.
Fang Mingche said, "Driving to and from school is too ostentatious. I don't want to be the first to do it!"
He drove over and parked in the parking space downstairs of the office, then got into the elevator and went upstairs.
"Wu Mingju, come in with me."
Wu Mingju got up from his workstation and followed Fang Mingche into the small office.
The Japanese group is now operating normally, and Cui Yingqi is leading the group with Qin Tian. Qin Tian and Wei You learned to drive and got their driver's licenses this month.
But Wu Mingju, Fang Mingche assigned him other work during this period.
The two went in and sat down, and Wu Mingju said, "Teacher Fang, I have found everyone I can find, but they all ask for very high prices. It's really not cost-effective!"
Fang Mingche asked him to think about whether there is any way to open an office in Tokyo.
Although they are registered in the Investment Promotion Office, they have not actually gone through the formal procedures. Naturally, they have not been able to obtain a business license. Now everything is still in chaos and has not been sorted out. They are taking advantage of the situation.
Fang Mingche meant to wait until they can get a business license before going private.
The Investment Promotion Office also felt that the business was not very relevant and could only barely touch the subject. They did not require them to be formally incorporated into the group now.
The travel agency also specially received their guests twice, and the price was very favorable. It can be considered as a help.
Therefore, they can't get a business visa through the relationship of the Investment Promotion Class and open an office abroad.
At that time, Fang Mingche called Wu Mingju to the office and asked him if he could find Chinese businessmen in Tokyo to think of a solution. Money makes the devil push the mill!
Wu Mingju was just an illegal worker there at the beginning, and it was not easy to contact those Chinese businessmen. Moreover, there were very few Chinese bosses there. Now they are basically all illegal workers.
He contacted someone through various channels and then went to talk to him about asking him to help with the formalities.
"They are compatriots, but they are asking for a lot! After going abroad, some people stick together for warmth. There are also people who disregard friendship and even cheat Chinese people."
Fang Mingche exhaled, "Old Wu, you have been subjected to a lot of weirdness recently, right? I'm sorry for you."
People probably don't want to take on the work, so they offer a high price to make them give up. This is also an attempt he made out of desperation.
Wu Mingju was stunned, "Alas, compared to the time when I was working illegally, it's nothing."
"We are still weak now, so we encounter difficulties everywhere. When we become bigger, we will encounter convenience everywhere."
Wu Mingju hesitated, but still said, "Teacher Fang, in fact, when they thought we were a national company at the beginning, they were quite enthusiastic."
That's right, there have been state-owned foreign travel agencies for a long time. They have existed since the 1950s! Such a piece of fat meat, naturally there are experts in the country who have seen it a long time ago.
But later China was boycotted by two major camps at the same time, and the business decreased a lot. But there were still foreigners who came to China for tourism in the 1950s.
These state-owned foreign travel agencies had no shortage of funds, translators, or cars. The rooms in places like the Capital Hotel and the Friendship Hotel were certainly open to them. Once they opened, they did big business.
But by the 1960s, they were basically shut down. Even now, it will take a long time to put things right. Just to make the reform and development policy trustworthy at home and abroad is also a long process.
Today, large state-owned travel agencies such as CITS and CTS cannot operate normally. They are all out of staff! Many of them don’t know where they were sent to, and they have not been able to return to their original jobs. In those days, if you had some overseas connections, your status would be ruined. Not to mention those who dealt directly with foreigners. Even if you were lucky enough to be scooped up, you wouldn’t dare to show up easily at this time.
1979 was just like 1949, with everything in ruins to be rebuilt. This is not a joke!
Fang Mingche took advantage of the paralysis of the state-owned foreign travel agency at the end of last year, and with the help of Mr. Wang to smooth out various domestic relationships, and Wang Dexian also got him two business cars, so he dared to set up this small workshop-style travel agency.
Where there is a need, there will be a market, so they succeeded. Fang Mingche received two-thirds of the dividends, and his monthly income even exceeded 10,000 yuan.
He had stepped on the right time. However, although it is said that the sparrow is small but has all the internal organs, it is still a grass-roots team. So it is destined to be difficult everywhere, and it will not be taken seriously by many big businessmen abroad.
If the travel agency is state-owned, then people will give it face when it goes abroad. But it is just a private enterprise, so it is not important. Moreover, Mr. Wang has no influence abroad. Therefore, this shortcut cannot be taken.
Fang Mingche sighed and said to Wu Mingju: "Thank you for your hard work! Let's think of a way. If Tokyo can really set up an office, are you willing to go there to take charge?"
Wu Mingju saw that he was not hit at all, and was slightly stunned. Then he said, "Of course I'm willing to go, as long as the salary level is comparable to that of the local area."
"Of course it's comparable, otherwise people will go out and suffer poverty? It's okay, there's still time, let's do it step by step."
It's almost May, and he remembered that the memorial service was on May 17. On December 24, 1978, the memorial service for Peng and Tao had actually been held, but it was not as influential as the memorial service for Liu in May. Throughout the 1980s, the chief designer participated in and hosted many memorial services that were held later.
After May, people from all walks of life who were implicated will be "liberated" one after another. People who were demoted will gradually return to their jobs.
After that, all walks of life will gradually return to normal, and the same is true for state-owned foreign travel.
The passenger flow he is currently undertaking is actually nothing. However, Fang Mingche is still quite confident. In the future competition, it is not necessarily that state-owned companies will crush private companies.
In the 1980s, wasn't the prosperous supply and marketing cooperative defeated by the scattered soldiers and guerrillas from the private sector? Not only the supply and marketing cooperatives, but also many state-owned enterprises experienced a period of vitality, but in the end they were not able to compete with private enterprises.
In 1979, the State Council approved the "Report on the National Conference of Directors of Industrial and Commercial Administrations", which pointed out: "Based on local market needs, after obtaining the consent of the relevant business authorities, some idle laborers with formal household registration can be approved to engage in individual labor in repair, service and handicraft industries."
Facing this east wind, Wenzhou vendor Zhang Huamei took two photos to Wenzhou Gulou Industrial and Commercial Bureau and applied for a business license by selling small commodities such as needles and thread, buttons, and watch straps. In December 1979, the license for small general merchandise, "Donggongshang Certificate No. 10101", was issued by the WZ Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce.
Doing business is no longer a "secret" thing in Zhang Huamei's mouth, and the "business license" in her hand has become the first individual industrial and commercial business license in the country.
In Wenzhou that year, there were 1,844 people who applied for the first batch of individual business licenses in the country, just like Zhang Huamei. The individual economy began to flourish everywhere, and a large number of individual business households gradually entered the historical stage.
But this is for individual households. Fang Mingche remembers that the first business license for private enterprises had to wait until 1985.
Moreover, only the trial areas of Northeast China and Wenzhou are issuing business licenses to individual households. The capital has not started yet! Otherwise, he would definitely register and apply for a business license at the scrap station.
So, the travel agency really can't wait for the business license.
Fang Mingche said to Wu Mingju, "If I only get you a tourist visa, would you dare to go to Tokyo to promote our travel agency?"
Wu Mingju said, "I have worked illegally before. At worst, they will say that I am doing business with a tourist visa and send me back to China. I can never go to Japan again."
Fang Mingche laughed, "People who dare to work illegally in this day and age are really not ordinary people!"
Really, the illegal immigration in Fujian has not even started yet. Guys like Wu Mingju and Cui Yingqi dared to go to Japan to work illegally despite the world's disapproval. They were also pioneers.
They saw it earlier than others. He remembered that 20 years later, many people went to Japan to chop cabbages and operate sewing machines in the name of trainees. At that time, they could earn more than 200,000 yuan a year and return to China, which was a very large amount of money.
Wu Mingju said, "They are all forced by life and have to eat. But you, Teacher Fang, are really brave. You have a good future if you live a stable life, but you take risks like us."
Fang Mingche said, "I don't want to miss the opportunity. Besides, if it weren't for the banner of earning foreign exchange for the country, how could I dare to do it so big?"
Although it was a makeshift team, under the current restrictions of "seven ups and eight downs", he even set up a travel agency with more than ten people. It's even more terrifying if we count the part-time tour guides of college students like Lao Cheng and Xiao Xu who are on one-day tours. Big and small are really relative!
Wu Mingju said, "But Teacher Fang, a good cook can't cook without rice!"
In fact, everyone in the travel agency knew that there was no money in the account. After all, it has only been less than half a year, and it is already very good to be able to afford a business car in full.
Fang Mingche said, "I asked, and the business car can be mortgaged for 30,000 yuan in the bank. This money will be given to you to Japan as a starting capital."
Tokyo is close, and there are direct flights. So he chose Tokyo as his first overseas station.
Wu Mingju's pupils were trembling, and he wanted to ask: Aren't you afraid that I will take the money and run to Japan and never come back? That business car is the biggest asset of the travel agency.
Fang Mingche saw through his thoughts, "I'm not too afraid, after all, the profit of the travel agency is quite considerable. As long as you are willing to let your family be harassed every day, then you can take the money and run. Isn't it good to live an upright life? If you work hard in Tokyo, I will pay you 1,200 a month. We will rent a single-family house, and you can live in it directly, and take care of your own meals. If you do well, I will give you a big red envelope at the end of the year. If you become bigger in the future, the travel agency will definitely give dividends to old employees. Thirty thousand yuan can buy several houses in China and cover the rent for a lifetime. But if you take it to Japan, it will only be the average income for two and a half years. Yes, you save the money and send it back home so that your family can buy a house in Tuanjiehu Community and collect rent. This is the most cost-effective!"
The travel agency now makes a profit of 15,000 yuan a month, and 30,000 yuan is only two months' profit. He just bet on this! If Wu Mingju hadn't been crazy, he wouldn't have donated money and run away.
Thinking of this, Fang Mingche said, "You should have brought back tens of thousands of dollars from Japan, so you wouldn't be so careless. Besides, you also know that there are people in our travel agency. Why don't you try to run? Japan is not so far away that we can't get there."
Even if the crime didn't involve his family, it was not impossible for the Wang family to arrest him with their means. Who said that we had to use overt means?
Wu Mingju waved his hand quickly, "Teacher Fang, I'm not confused. Just as you said, isn't it good to live an upright life? 1200 a month, I work eight hours a day. What can I do if I run away? Thirty thousand dollars won't last long in Japan, should I continue to work illegally? I work fifteen or sixteen hours a day and earn seven or eight hundred a month. I have already received a regular high salary, and I don't want to be an inferior illegal laborer anymore."
Fang Mingche smiled, "I was attracted to you at the beginning, isn't it because I thought you are not a confused person and will not do stupid things. Okay, then you go down and make preparations first. I have to quickly arrange the mortgage loan process here."
Gao Xiang can only go for this matter, let him get familiar with the process. In fact, this is a cashier's job, but A Yan is due to give birth in half a month. Moreover, Gao Xiang should be happy to understand the process.
Sending the somewhat excited Wu Mingju away, Fang Mingche picked up the phone and called Wang Dexian's office.
After Lao Wang was promoted to deputy section chief, he got a private office with a telephone on his desk. If he gets promoted one more level, he will be eligible to apply for a dormitory with two suites.
"Hello?"
"Lao Wang, this is Fang Mingche."
Wang Dexian was holding the microphone seriously, but when he heard it was him, he relaxed and
said, "What's the matter?" Fang Mingche told the matter concisely.
Wang Dexian said, "Do we have to be so anxious?"
"Time is running out! Maybe in a few months, the state-owned foreign-related hotels will gradually resume normal operations. What can we use to compete with them? We don't even have an office overseas, so we rely on airports to attract customers? It's too unprofessional. Those foreign tourists have no choice now. If we can bring them convenience, they will use us. But once our peers endorsed by the state get involved, we will have no competitiveness. We have to give it a try!"
Wang Dexian thought for a while and said, "Okay, you ask Gao Xiang to come over, and I'll arrange someone to go with him."
The car is registered in their unit, so they must come forward.
Fang Mingche said, "I say, when will we have a tourism bureau?"
There should have been one before, but later all the institutions were smashed and knocked down. What remained were some public departments that would affect the normal operation of the city if they stopped. So they could only work with the investment promotion offices nearby.
Wang Dexian said, "Now that there is a tourism bureau, they will definitely help the national ones. Now that you mention it, the situation is indeed very serious."
He changed the microphone to another ear, "Our old man will definitely not think about competing with the national team at that time. Most likely, we will accept the amnesty."
"What amnesty or not? We are not going to Liangshan!"
Wang Dexian said, "I am just making a metaphor, but it is indeed not very appropriate. But you should know what I mean. What do you think?"
With Xiao Fang's academic qualifications, if he is willing to accept such an arrangement, he will definitely be able to start at the department level when he enters the Tourism Bureau in the future. Maybe he will be promoted faster than himself!
"I definitely want to work alone. The country is now gradually delegating the resources it controls to boost employment and the economy. For us, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
If the country is not willing to delegate the resources it controls, how can private grocery stores defeat the supply and marketing cooperatives? Direct administrative orders, everything is still supplied according to plan as before, and you can only buy things in the supply and marketing cooperatives.
Wang Dexian thought about the Confucian businessman path that Fang Mingche said he wanted to take.
"Okay, let's give it a try. I also think the country is serious this time. At least it won't force us to give way to the national team."
Fang Mingche smiled and said, "That's why I asked you to be my partner."
He and Lao Wang are often on the same wavelength. As long as he is not a state official who cannot do business, I believe Lao Wang will continue to work with him. Even if there is a ban in the future, the worst that can happen is to transfer the shares from open to hidden. Anyway, he didn't participate in the daily operations.
"Aren't you bold enough to ask our old man to be your partner?"
"Then at the beginning, you need the support of the old man to open it. But it will be different in the future. Lao Wang, you must step up step by step!"
Wang Dexian laughed out loud, "I must think so too."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Mingche walked out of the office. Seeing Lingzi frowning, he casually said, "Oh, what's wrong?"
Lingzi said, "Teacher Fang, I'm on a personal matter. I'll adjust my mood right away."
In fact, before Fang Mingche called, Lingzi was using the phone line. The overseas call from the United States, my uncle said that he could only get a family visit visa.
Because she doesn't have a college degree. Even if she did, the United States now only recognizes degrees from a few Chinese universities. Moreover, she is not a skilled worker that the United States urgently needs.
Knowing English is very popular in China now, but it is just basic knowledge in the United States. Why would you go there if you don't know English? Therefore, she can only go there in the name of visiting relatives, and then work illegally. Once caught, she will be deported.
My uncle had been there illegally for decades and luckily got a green card. But because of their relationship, he could only apply for a family visit visa for her. But my uncle said that he could introduce her to a partner. If she went there and got married, she could stay legally.
Even my uncle was willing to bring her there because his children were heavily Westernized and could not provide Chinese-style elderly care. My uncle wanted her to go there to take care of him in his later years.
