Chapter 196 Business is Slow
At noon, Changchang's birthday ceremony went smoothly. The children happily ate his birthday cake and the adults sat down happily.
Changchang himself certainly can't eat cake yet. Fang's mother dyed the rice cake for him with traditional ingredients. It was also cut into the shape of a cake, and the little guy ate it happily.
As for business, today's gongs and drums are loud just to make it lively and announce the opening. The business license shows that this is a private hotel opened by an individual business owner. However, the price is twice that of a state-owned hotel.
The opening business is very slow, and the only three guests are introduced by Wang Dexian. Well, two overseas Chinese and one foreign businessman. They all brought their entourage and each opened a suite. There is a master bedroom and a standard room next door, four yuan a day.
Fang's father arranged them in three separate courtyards. The second and third courtyards and a side courtyard on the left. Arranged on a first-come-first-served basis.
These three groups of people are quite satisfied, very quiet. Moreover, it is close to Tiananmen Square and has such an ancient courtyard. It is equivalent to four yuan a night, and the whole courtyard is reserved.
At first, it was because there were no vacancies in Beijing Hotel, Friendship Hotel and other places. They gave face to the Investment Promotion Office, and Comrade Wang patted his chest to guarantee that the living conditions were good and quiet and elegant. Now I feel that it is really good to live here, and the price is quite affordable.
When checking in, Fang's father held a brush to register for people. When he was in private school, he wrote with a brush. His family was relatively poor, and he only studied for two or three years and then stopped.
But the old man admired scholars all his life. Later, Fang Mingche went to school, and the school issued a brush calligraphy tracing book. The father and son took it to copy together. Fang Mingche didn't stick with it. His fountain pen and chalk writing were passable, so he didn't practice. But Fang's father persisted for more than ten years and took writing as a hobby.
Therefore, Fang's father is still very good at just reading words. In the past, when Murakami wanted to write something, he often asked him to write. For example, painting slogans also counts as work points, which is much more cost-effective than just working in the fields.
Well, another reason why Fang Mingche attracted Fang's father to come to Beijing is that the capital library is very large, and he has a library card. He can borrow all kinds of books for the old man to read. In addition, when the capital's senior citizen university opens, he can go there to study. The academic requirements are not high.
After the rooms were allocated, Fang's father asked three retired soldiers to bring people there, fearing that the guests would not be able to open the bronze lock. It's okay for overseas Chinese, but foreign businessmen may not be able to do it.
After the people left, he said to Fang Mingche: "I'm afraid this popularity will have to be cultivated slowly. It's still a long way to get back the money!"
The investment cost of this so-called homestay is very high. The money for buying a house, repairing it, and buying furniture and appliances is almost 200,000. Well, as for appliances, color TVs cannot be provided in every room, but there is one in each yard. Importing color TVs costs more than 4,000 yuan each, and nearly 20,000 foreign exchange coupons were spent.
In addition to the money used by the Overseas Chinese Apartment, Fang Mingche and Lin Yan's foreign exchange coupons and travel agency's were all used up by them. The 70,000 yuan loaned out before was almost all spent after being converted into foreign exchange coupons!
(Well, because the current funds are not too abundant, the plan to keep half of the profits for the three overseas stores has not been implemented. Now it has all been taken back! The plan is to implement it next. After all, overseas property purchases can be slowed down a bit.)
Currently, only four semi-automatic washing machines have been purchased, so there are four big sisters. Labor costs are cheaper than electrical appliances, and the price of fully automatic is almost twice that of semi-automatic. Well, laundry services are also provided, calculated by the number of pieces.
One big sister is responsible for one yard! The basic salary is 24 yuan, and two meals a day are maintained. Cleaning and tidying up are part of their duties .
Three veterans are provided with housing, and they are responsible for taking care of the property in the courtyard. If property is lost, compensation must be paid. Wang Dezhi is the guarantor for the three of them.
No air conditioner was bought, and the ground dragon will be burned for heating in the winter, and ice basins will be provided in the hot summer. Pursuing ancient flavor! The main reason is that air conditioners are too expensive, so this is a cheap substitute!
Wang Dexian came to see it two days ago and was surprised to find such good conditions. In addition to these, the bathroom actually has a rain shower.
"Is the boiler installed?"
"Yes. If I don't fix it, it seems that I'm sorry for the money I spent on buying the house."
Fang Mingche has also calculated it. Two scrap yards plus a vegetable stall and wholesale vegetables to vegetable vendors can make 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a month. There is no need to keep money in the account to expand the business of these two places, just distribute it directly.
Moreover, the business of these two times is on the rise and will soon exceed 10,000. This money is enough to pay off the balance of the house on New Year's Day. Not to mention other income.
"You are too generous! Later, we can bring the guests of our investment promotion office here. The conditions are not much different from those of the foreign-related guesthouses."
Fang Mingche smiled and said, "That's great!"
He is also actively recommending the investment promotion office to the foreign businessmen and overseas Chinese among the travel agency guests, so that everyone can benefit from it.
Fang's father took the abacus and dialed. The salary of the seven employees is currently 204 yuan a month. Including the food, the total is 300. He still has 100. That's 400. He earned 12 yuan today, but he lost money to gain publicity. He hasn't counted the 180,000 yuan he spent on the house!
Fang Mingche smiled, "Dad, you really have to count the money for the house, furniture, and appliances. Even if the 28 rooms are full every day, they can't be sold for so much money in fifteen years. But we got such a good courtyard house! Moreover, I'm spending 180,000 now because I'm optimistic about the scarcity and future growth of this house. If there are people living in it and walking around, the house will not decay easily. As long as I don't pay for the salary, I won't lose money."
With a high occupancy rate, the workload will increase significantly. There must be a salary increase, and bonuses must be paid.
And the inflation will increase in the future, and it will take more than fifteen years to get back the money! However, he didn't buy the house just to make money from the B&B. No, with inflation, the room fee must also increase.
Father Fang said, "I don't know why both of you brothers think that the price of houses will rise sharply."
One of you bought a courtyard house with a debt of more than 100,000 yuan, and the other bought an elevator house with a debt of 40,000 or 50,000 yuan. It has been 32 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. When has the housing price risen so ridiculously?
Fang Mingche also felt that Brother Mingfeng was quite amazing. He actually saw in advance that the housing price would rise sharply. Although the increase in Guangzhou was not as much as that in Shenzhen. But the increase was indeed very large.
He asked, and Brother Mingfeng said that he heard from the truck driver from Hong Kong that the housing prices in Europe, America, Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong have all risen sharply. Since we want to carry out reform and opening up and learn from foreign experiences, real estate must be developed. He is optimistic about Guangzhou!
"Houses are fixed assets!"
Father Fang thought for a while, "That's true. Look, the Forbidden City has been there for 600 years."
If it can really be passed down from generation to generation, it would be great.
"Some sections of the Great Wall of Qin Shihuang are still preserved."
Most of the existing Great Wall was reinforced in later generations, and most of them were built in the Ming Dynasty. But there are indeed some sections from the Qin Dynasty.
Fang Mingche thought for a while and said, "Even if the room is empty, people can't live there for free. The same goes for the TV!"
Fang's father nodded, "Don't worry. I told your mother that the matter of this homestay will be kept secret from the people in my hometown."
As for Xiaomin, Mingcheng, Han Ping and others, since the people in their hometown don't know that Mingche bought a three-courtyard house with more than two acres, they are also very tight-lipped. In this way, they won't think that there is a place to live here and come here for refuge.
"Not only you, but also other employees. If you bring acquaintances in privately for resettlement, you will be fired directly. I have explained this to them as a discipline."
The next day, Fang's father asked about the photos that Master He took a few days ago. When can they be made into a picture album or advertising posters and sent back?
He was anxious to take this to the train station and airport to attract customers. There are also Beijing Hotel and Friendship Hotel. Isn't it said that they have a good relationship. The place is full, so I should ask for a recommendation. It would be good if they could get the overflow business from these two places.
Nowadays, the number of foreign friends, overseas Chinese and Chinese people coming to China is increasing. These two places are indeed full from time to time. He heard Mingchao and Xiao Wang talking about this yesterday.
As for the airport and the train station, let the retired soldiers drive the small trucks. If there are customers, they will be directly brought back. In this way, the utilization efficiency of the small trucks can be improved.
There is a photo of the business license on the poster. It is much better than a year and a half ago when Teacher Qiu had to show his work ID and Fang Mingche had to show his student ID to gain people's trust.
Fang Mingche said: "If the photos were developed, Master He would have brought them here yesterday."
Two years have passed, and Master He is still taking photos of foreign tourists in Tiananmen Square and mailing them.
He told Fang Mingche that originally, business was not allowed in the square, and the stall owners were driven to Dashilan. Even self-employed people like Fang Mingche could not even get a stall.
He was very glad that the job he found did not require a stall and could still be done in the square. As a result, he has been standing still for the past two years. Although he can earn hundreds of dollars a month and thousands of dollars in the peak season, it is really nothing compared to Fang Mingche.
So, I said that misfortune is the root of blessing, and blessing is the root of misfortune!
As for making posters and picture albums, the Investment Promotion Office has such external studios. They face foreign businessmen, and all the equipment is the most advanced. The cost is high, so they use it externally and recover some costs.
A year and a half ago, when the travel agency opened, Fang Mingche asked foreign students to shoot a print advertisement, which was made into a promotional poster there. Then he and Teacher Qiu took it to the Capital International Airport to attract the first batch of tourists.
I didn't expect the old man to be so motivated to work now!
Fang's father said: "If I don't do something, won't it seem that I'm here to get your 100 monthly salary for nothing? Moreover, at least we have to earn 400 monthly wages for eight people."
Well, if he gives him a monthly salary of 100, he can support his three grandchildren to study by himself. At that time, the eldest brother and his wife will pay 300 yuan a year. This is better than asking their youngest father to pay.
This is the plan of the eldest brother and his wife to farm at home. If they also come to Beijing, they can sell snacks and make a living, so they can support themselves.
"Well, I heard that the three groups of people will stay for at least ten days and a half a month. 400 yuan a month is still worth it. OK, you decide. Let's do this. The two courtyards and two side courtyards will rent for 6,000 yuan a year. 500 yuan per month, so the cost is currently 900 yuan. If there is profit, you will get a commission of 5%. "
Fang's father thought for a while, "Then the 36,000 yuan for color TVs, washing machines and furniture is also included. Spread it over 60 months, 600 yuan a month."
The profit is not only for him, but also for the seven employees below. They must not be given a free ride. The current salary is not low, and the workload is so small.
What the mother-in-law said makes sense. Mingche pays too much to the workers. Oh, no, the bonus he gave was too high. I heard that Han Mei's basic salary was not high either, and the commissions from the three overseas stores were relatively high.
However, it was indeed done this way, and the people below were particularly concerned about the business. The share of the profits of the homestay can be given, but it has to be shared after the costs are shared.
Fang Mingche said: "1,500 a month, Dad, you are a bit cruel! This is almost full every day."
Fang's father said: "You give too much, it may cause trouble if you mess up the market."
Fang Mingche thought about it, "Then spread it over 120 months, 24,000 will be enough. After all, the furniture and home appliances will belong to us after depreciation. The furniture is made of good wood and can be used for decades. Japanese-made TVs can be used for ten years. Otherwise, they have to be close to full to get rewards, and they must be less motivated."
The quality of Japanese TVs is really good. It can really be used for ten years without replacement, which has been confirmed by later practice.
Fang's father said, "Okay, we'll share the cost of 1,100 a month. The rest will be counted as commission. A full house costs 1,680, and 5% of 580 is 29. Well, Master Zhao also cooks for them, so he can make a little money. It should be somewhat difficult, so that there is pressure to attract customers."
Fang Mingche calculated that the occupancy rate must be 70% every day. It's also because imported color TVs are too expensive that so much needs to be shared! However, throughout the 1980s, domestic color TVs could not compete with imported ones.
Since it was said that the B&B would be managed by the old man, Fang Mingche didn't care too much.
After that, the promotional posters and brochures were made, and Fang's father really arranged for the veterans to send them to the Beijing Hotel and the Friendship Hotel. He asked Fang Min to ask Han Mei how to communicate properly by phone, and then call them to contact them.
Gradually, the business picked up. Although it can't reach 70% at once, it can reach 30% to 40%. When it's good, it can reach 50%.
Faced with this situation, Fang's father said, "We have no choice but to take it slow."
The homestay and travel agency each subscribed to a newspaper, which would be delivered by the postman every morning. Fang's father would read the People's Daily carefully every day.
In addition to arranging people to go out and find ways to attract guests, he is currently responsible for check-in and check-out.
Foreign guests, overseas Chinese, and Chinese, that is, guests who take international flights are exempt from inspection of letters of introduction. Domestic passengers need to provide letters of introduction before checking in.
Checking letters of introduction is mainly for safety. Don't look back at some vagrants who have moved in. Foreigners are exempt from inspection. Flying all the way to commit a crime? Not likely.
So when he has nothing to do, Fang's father can sit at his workstation and read books and newspapers. Well, make a cup of tea on the table. Oh, and answer the phone.
Fang Minghua called and couldn't help saying after learning about this: "Dad, you are old, old, and you still live the life of a cadre. Make a cup of tea at work, sit at the desk and read books and newspapers."
Moreover, 100 yuan a month is much more than the commune cadres.
"Well, who made me the boss's father? Besides, it's not like I don't do anything else. I am responsible for cleaning the small yard where we live. Sometimes I go out to attract customers. Your brother said that he can't sit there all day."
"What does my mother do?"
"When Xiaomin is washing clothes and doing other things, your mother is responsible for following Changchang around. He goes everywhere except where the guests stay. He runs everywhere with his short legs. In the past half month, I have seen that he is walking more and more steadily! In addition, we also take him to places like Tiananmen Square, the Summer Palace, and Beihai Park."
He had nothing to do after checking out in the morning. The workload for other people is not heavy either, so they can take care of it at this station. It's okay for him to leave.
Father Fang told his eldest son about many people in the capital who push carts to sell snacks.
"Well, now we in small places are allowed to do this. But everyone's spending power is not high."
"The salary in the capital is higher, and many dual-income families are willing to spend money. This autumn harvest is coming, why don't you two come to Beijing to take a look. There is a place for you to stay, and the main thing you have to spend is the travel expenses."
On May 29, the People's Daily published an investigative report titled "A Debate on Contracting Fish Ponds" on the front page of the second edition.
Father Fang read the newspaper intently.
The newspaper said that there was a farmer named Chen Zhixiong who started to contract fish ponds in February 1979. He paid 60 yuan per mu of fish pond to the production team per year, and he contracted 50 mu. When the fish were harvested, after deducting various costs, he made 3,100 yuan. This year, the Chen family took care of the fish ponds themselves. The
next year, Chen Zhixiong expanded the scale. He contracted another 50 mu of fish ponds in the neighboring village. Feeding the fish requires cutting grass for feed. At most, there were more than 30 temporary workers who came to the Chen family to help cut grass, and each person was paid 2 yuan a day. There were also 7 permanent workers at one time, with a monthly salary of 50 yuan. This year, the net income of the 100 mu fish pond was 7,250 yuan. Last year, the gross income of a farmer in Guangdong was no more than 1,000 yuan a year.
Father Fang first calculated that the gross income of farmers in Guangdong was higher than that of farmers in Sichuan. Then he wanted to see the conclusion. He was used to the conclusion given by the People's Daily being the golden rule.
As a result, there was no conclusion this time.
When Fang Mingche came back from school, he quickly showed his son the newspaper, "What do you think of this article?"
Fang Mingche's biggest business is the travel agency. Now the travel agency office is in the first entrance, and his parents and youngest son live in the side yard at the back. He must come here after school.
Lin Yan, on the other hand, would ride her bike back to the small side yard from time to time. In the morning, the tractor brought back the vegetables, and a corner was set aside here for wholesale vegetable vendors.
This was very early, before Master Lei and his team started construction. Because people buy vegetables early in the morning!
As soon as Fang Mingche saw the newspaper, he knew in his heart that what was supposed to come had finally come.
He said, "This means that the whole nation can discuss it. If you have any opinions, you can write a letter to the newspaper."
Fang's father was a little confused, "What should we do? Isn't it always the top that has the final say? How can the top recognize the result after the whole nation discusses it?"
"Let's not talk about whether to recognize it or not, let's see what the people think about this matter first. You should continue to pay attention to this column position, and there should be relevant debates published soon."
Fang's father nodded, and then asked, "Will you go and give your opinions?"
Fang Mingche shook his head, "Let's see what others think first."
This matter is not a final decision, it will take three months to toss, and he doesn't have the leisure to participate in the whole process. Even after three months, the opinions given are just "up and down".
Fang's father said, "This is the People's Daily, why don't you take it seriously?"
Fang Mingche said, "I heard a piece of news from my classmates from Wuhu, Anhui these days: Nian Guangjiu, the owner of Shazi Guazi, rented land and built a factory in the local area. He has hired more than 100 workers!"
Now, Shazi Guazi has become famous and is considered a representative figure of reform. In 1980, the person mentioned by the chief designer was directly included in Deng Li.
Father Fang took a breath, "How can he be so bold?" More than a hundred people!
"It's enough for me to keep an eye on this person. From him, we can see the real opinions of the higher-ups."
Father Fang said, "You mean he will be fine?"
"The big boss said that he can't be touched. If he really gets into trouble, I will withdraw immediately."
After the reform and opening up, he was not convicted of speculation!
Fang's father said, "You said he has been in prison for speculation?"
"Yes, but it has been 18 years. But last year, in 1980, the chief designer learned that Nian Guangjiu made a million by selling melon seeds, and highly praised the development of the individual private economy. At the same time, he made two instructions, "let it go" and "wait and see". Reform and opening up require determination and courage. Once he touches it, people will think that the policy has changed, and it is easy to shake our policy. This is what Chief Wang told me."
Fang's father said, "Then what is there to discuss?"
My goodness, he made a million by selling melon seeds? His view of money has been baptized. Nowadays, many things are sold in cents!
"It is necessary to guide public opinion. Reform and opening up is to cross the river by feeling the stones. Of course, everyone can raise their opinions. The more the truth is debated, the clearer it will be! The People's Daily provides a platform for voice. Anyway, you just need to pay attention to what the newspaper says."
On June 1st, Yanyan had a holiday to celebrate Children's Day. She was going to the zoo to be a tour guide for the children of several foreign diplomats stationed in Beijing.
Before leaving, Yanyan carried the kettle on her back, "Dad, I'm going to help the family, right?"
"Yes, Yanyan is great. And it's not just you. There's also a little brother from a diplomat's family in our country."
To put it more bluntly, Yanyan was going to help the grandson of this diplomat. They all met at a cocktail party at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Lin's mother thought from the beginning that this was not asking Yanyan to serve the children of foreign diplomats at such a young age.
Later, she heard that the grandson of a diplomat in our country was also going, and he had really been working for the country since he was a child. She didn't say anything. The grandson of a ministerial official could go, so why couldn't her granddaughter go? It could even be said that the child took Yanyan to broaden her horizons, and her foreign language speaking skills could also be exercised.
Lin Yan even went to the Friendship Store to buy Yanyan an authentic dress for this purpose. After moving to the Overseas Chinese Apartment, she heard from her neighbors that foreigners pay more attention to copyright. It would not be good for Yanyan to go wearing a "copycat" made by herself.
Fang Mingche drove Yanyan, who looked proud of contributing to her family and country, to the gate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to meet up. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs arranged a special car.
"Yanyan, just follow Brother Wei all the way."
"Don't worry, Xiaofang. I have already told my Wei Ran that he will take good care of the little sister. She can speak two foreign languages, English and Japanese, which is very good."
Fang Mingche said, "Mr. Wei, she is close to the water and has been learning from the consultant of our travel agency for the past year and a half. She has also been to Tokyo before." Mr.
Wei is an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and his son is in the Tokyo Embassy. Fang Mingche helped to carry things before, and then they had contact.
"Oh, the conditions for learning languages are very good. I heard that your next store will be opened in New York? This is good, export more of our ancestors' craftsmanship and earn foreign exchange."
"Well, the employees going to the United States will leave this afternoon."
Not only Lingzi, but also the visas of their family of four were successfully processed. The employees went to Lingzi first, and they were paid a basic salary of 500 US dollars. Wait until the preparations are done before sending another one out.
While waiting for the interview, Lingzi was trembling with fear. She was afraid that she would be rejected because of Yingzi. Fortunately, it was probably because the brand of the enterprise under the Ministry of Culture was quite powerful.
In addition, Americans were indeed very interested in China's intangible cultural heritage products. Now that the two countries are in the honeymoon period, cultural exchange is also an important part.
As for the two elders, he and Lin Yan took care of the two younger ones, so they couldn't take care of the two old ones. I won't take them with me the first time I go back. I'll wait until I'm more familiar with it in the future!
Fang's mother said, "If you really take me there, I'm still a little afraid to go."
She spent the first half of her life wandering around three miles. Now, thanks to her youngest son, she lives in the capital. This is already a step up, and she doesn't want any more changes for the time being.
Fang Mingche entrusted Yanyan to the ten-year-old Wei Ran, and then drove back to the courtyard.
Fang's mother said, "It's Children's Day, why don't you take Changchang out to play?"
The village primary school has to perform on Children's Day, and it's a holiday.
"When has he not gone out to play? It's crowded everywhere today, don't join in the fun. Otherwise, I'll take you to the Badaling Great Wall later?"
The tourism development there is not yet in place, so it's not crowded.
Father Fang nodded and said with interest: "The Great Wall, yes. The Great Wall is ten thousand miles long, and Qin Shihuang is not there! But Yanyan is so young, nothing will happen, right?"
"She is very brave. At the beginning, she showed the way to the child of a Japanese diplomat at a cocktail party, and that's how we got to know each other. In addition, there are staff from our Ministry of Foreign Affairs accompanying her to take care of her. I gave them some small gifts, and I won't treat Yanyan badly."
The Great Wall is open and windy, so Lin Yan put a thinner hat on Changchang. The key is to protect the fontanelle.
Fang's mother couldn't help but ask, "My goodness, how did they lift this bluestone? There were no cranes at that time."
Fang's father said, "I read in Jianwa's textbook that dozens of people lifted it up by force. They tied a thick rope and lifted it with manpower." After saying that, he turned around and looked at Fang Mingche, "This is also a tourist attraction, why isn't it being used?"
"Next, we have to do it step by step. The Tourism Bureau is just about to be established."
Changchang was held by Fang Mingche, looking around with a curious look on his face. He also tried to push his hat away several times.
"It's not blocking you, just wear it properly."
Fang's father walked for a while with his hands behind his back, and when he felt it was a bit steep, he took his hands out to keep his balance.
He asked, "Mingche, can I learn to drive your car?"
It's so convenient to have a car now, you can go wherever you want. It's completely different from when he was young and traveled around the world on foot.
"Sure. You can drive a small car. Anyone over 18 and under 70 years old is fine."
He remembered that the Queen and her husband in England were still driving their own cars at an old age.
Father Fang smiled and said, "Then let the retired car soldier teach me."
"You should go to the playground of the previous elementary school to learn. Besides, you have to pass the theoretical test before you can get a driver's license."
Father Fang was obviously not prepared to get a driver's license. Who needs a driver's license to drive in the countryside?
He frowned and asked, "Is the theory difficult?"
"Not difficult, just the traffic rules. I'll have someone tutor you. Dad, this is the capital. If you get caught driving without a license, it will be very troublesome."
Although he hasn't been caught yet, it's better to be careful. Besides, it will be needed sooner or later.
Walking to the beacon tower, Changchang played hide-and-seek with his mother, Minjie and grandmother. He hid behind the pillar and then stuck his head out to tease everyone.
Fang Mingche smiled and said, "There is progress! It's much better than before when he covered his face and asked us to cooperate."
After playing at the Great Wall, Yanyan was sent back by the car sent by the Wei family. Wei Ran also called Fang Mingche and said that Yanyan performed very well today and helped him a lot.
"It's also thanks to you for guiding her."
However, Yanyan's expression was not very happy.
Lin Yan asked her, "What's wrong?" Was she bullied? If so, she would find an excuse to refuse next time.
Yanyan said, "Foreign children said that China is very backward and doesn't even have an amusement park."
She didn't think in this direction at first, but she didn't fall down. But after thinking about it, her father took her to the amusement park in Tokyo before, and he specifically mentioned that the amusement park has a history of more than 100 years.
"Dad, are we really backward?"
Fang Mingche nodded, "For now, yes. But China used to be the world's number one for a long time. It was only because we closed our doors to the outside world during the Qing Dynasty and did not develop science and technology that we fell behind. We experienced a century of humiliation before we stood up under the leadership of our party. But we are still very poor and backward!"
"What should we do?"
"So we have to reform and open up now, learn from foreign advanced experience. Select the essence and discard the dross. The Chinese people are very hardworking. Now that we are no longer closed to the outside world, foreigners no longer blockade and embargo us. We will definitely seize the opportunity to get rich. However, this requires the joint efforts of Dad's generation and your generation. A son will not dislike his mother's ugliness! Let's work hard and let foreign children say that our China is great in the future!"
On Children's Day, foreign children disliked the fact that there were no amusement facilities to play. In fact, there is nothing wrong with that.
Yanyan nodded, "What can I do now?"
"Listen to the Chairman, study hard, and make progress every day!"
