Chapter 416: Your name is Xu Jiuri, and your courtesy name is Lu Xu, right?
There are problems with the political review and he cannot take over?
That's good too.
Su Mei is quite optimistic about Lu Xu.
If Lu Xu has no future, she will open her own pharmaceutical company and run her own laboratory.
It was a good opportunity to poach the frustrated Lu Xu.
Her company doesn't need political review, haha.
But I can’t say that now.
The official document has just been issued, allowing some small businesses such as service, manufacturing, and catering to be engaged in.
It will take several years before medical treatment allows individuals to run their own businesses.
This is also the reason why Su Mei took a fancy to Dasao's clothing store and wanted to invest in a movie.
Because she can't do her original profession of practicing medicine for the time being.
We will have to wait for the next document to know the specific year in which we can start.
After resigning, Su Mei received her last bonus from the institute.
The total bonus is 20,000 yuan.
With the 20,000 yuan and the remaining money, Su Mei bought a yard in Wangfujing.
Su Mei has no plan for what to do with this yard, so it has not been renovated for the time being.
She just wanted to exchange the last money in her hand for land in a prime location.
The official document will come out in a month, and now she just needs to wait patiently for the thunder to explode.
One year after arriving at Yenching and resigning from her job at the research institute, Su Mei is now living the happiest life.
In the last half month, she didn't even go to school.
I stay at home every day, cook and enjoy the fresh air. I adopted two cats, named Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, and spend every day with Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, enjoying the fresh air and listening to music.
This is her last leisure time, and she wants to cherish it.
After waiting quietly at home for a month, Huo Jianguo finally brought back good news.
The long-awaited red-headed document came down, and Huo Jianguo directly brought back first-hand materials to Su Mei.
She searched carefully and finally found the first document on the materials. The scope of permitted operations was clearly stated:
There are no restrictions on the opening of individual handicrafts, small-scale industries, service industries, housing repair industries, construction industries, catering industries, transportation industries, small-scale industries, etc. in towns;
Individual businesses are allowed to engage in activities such as clock repair, TV repair, radio repair, bicycle repair, knife and scissor sharpening, weaving, pot repair, shoe repair, sewing, selling big bowls of tea, selling candied haws, hairdressing, daily necessities, matches, cigarettes, and snack shops in the eight industries of catering, service, handicraft, distribution, repair, transportation, and floristry;
Communes and brigades are allowed to collectively open small food shops, small hotels, small butcher shops, and various repair shops, bathhouses, vegetable and grain and oil processing, handicrafts, and agricultural and sideline products sales stores. [Note: The business scope here is referenced from the relevant literature in Baidu Encyclopedia.]
After carefully reading the relevant business categories, Su Mei pointed at the content and said:
"My sister-in-law's clothing store can be considered a weaving and sewing business, so her tailoring shop can be opened. Our old business is out of the question for now. It's just as I guessed. When the documents were first issued, the two categories of medical and security were not allowed to be run by individuals."
Su Mei had already told Huo Jianguo about this, and Huo Jianguo was not surprised after hearing it.
Su Mei does not remember the relevant history. She only guessed based on her own reading that industries allowed to be run by individuals were gradually opened up.
Since it is a gradual opening up, the first industries to be opened up will definitely be those that are closely related to people's livelihood.
Industries such as security, medical care, tourism, insurance, and film and television will still take time to be gradually opened up.
Among these industries, security is the most promising to emerge early.
Because once cities and villages are opened up, a large number of idle people will naturally appear in society.
These idle people formed gangs, robbed houses, and committed all kinds of evil.
After society entered a state of chaos, the country's early public security forces were unable to control these riots in a short period of time.
As long as the timing is right, given Huo Jianguo's background, if he takes the initiative to propose gathering retired soldiers to establish a formal security company, he will definitely be supported by the relevant departments.
Because this is a good thing that can not only solve the employment problem of veterans, but also maintain social stability and unity.
Soon after society entered the 1980s, the establishment of private security companies was allowed.
Su Mei felt that Huo Jianguo could definitely advance this time.
Now Huo Jianguo just needs to wait quietly for the opportunity to come.
Su Mei had already discussed these with Huo Jianguo before the document came down, so Huo Jianguo was not in a hurry.
There is no point in being anxious. This is the inevitable trend of the development of the times. Even if we know that there will be turbulent times, it is not something that can be changed by the weak personal power of Huo Jianguo and Su Mei.
They can interfere with single events that can be changed, but when it comes to major events of the times, they can only quietly wait for history to progress.
What Su Mei has to consider now is what she should do before the medical industry is allowed to be privately operated!
After reading the encyclopedia carefully, Su Mei said, "Why not open a department store?"
In the early days, the industries allowed to be operated were limited, and Su Mei didn't know what she could do. She looked at the business categories and found that there were not many industries she could do. Only opening a daily necessities department store did not require any skills.
The documents are issued gradually, and the items allowed subsequently will be updated gradually at a rate of once every few months.
Before updating other categories, Su Mei has to start with what she can do first and earn her first pot of gold.
"You can't open a small department store in Wangfujing because there is the largest department store in Wangfujing. No matter how complete the goods you stock are, can they compare to a building?" Huo Jianguo felt that Su Mei's suggestion was not a good one.
Su Mei had already considered this, and she was somewhat helpless: "But in order to grab the best land, I have already bought the store opposite Wangfujing."
"Isn't this easy?" Huo Jianguo looked at his house and said, "You can turn the yard where we live into a department store. Our house is right behind Yenching University. With the flow of students coming and going, plus several state-owned factories nearby, how can we worry about a lack of business?
As for the yard in Wangfujing, it’s okay to leave it idle for the time being. Didn’t you say that the business categories will be gradually updated? Then we can wait until there is a new suitable industry to do it. Let’s take it step by step!”
"Huo Jianguo, could you please not be so smart? It makes me look stupid." Su Mei looked at Huo Jianguo with some frustration.
Huo Jianguo smiled and said, "You thought of what to do the first time you saw the document, so naturally you didn't consider it comprehensively. After I heard what you said, I found it easy to find the problem.
As the saying goes, a bystander sees more clearly than one in power. In addition, in the past year, you have been working in school, in the hospital, doing free clinics, conducting scientific research, thinking about business, and dealing with various conspiracies... Too many things surround you, and your little head must be confused.
Now that you have a direction, go ahead and do it. I am still wrapping up Lu Aoxiong's case. Once his affairs are settled, I will come back to accompany you, and we can start a business together."
"Hahaha, you and your wife both started a business together, you are really capable of poverty..." Su Mei laughed for a while, then asked, "Is Lu Aoxiong's case complicated? Why is it still being finalized?"
"It's very complicated." Huo Jianguo nodded. "You definitely can't imagine this problem. When you were in the frontier, didn't you have a conflict with the son of a hospital director? The director's son was called Liu Kai. Do you remember him?"
"I remember." Su Mei nodded. It was hard for her not to remember that Liu Kai was put under house arrest by Chen Yilong. "What happened to him?"
"Later, I found out that his father was smuggling drugs across the border. The drugs he smuggled were provided by Lu Aoxiong. The Lu family is responsible for transporting newly developed drug products to all parts of the country. Every time they use some deceptive means to falsely report the data of drugs shipped to all parts of the country.
The drugs he embezzled were secretly sold overseas through the border. The Lu family gained too much profit in the research institute by this means. In addition, they also helped the border forces to launder money.
These behaviors are not worth being shot down eight hundred times. If you don't catch them by surprise, you don't know when you can catch this termite...
Another point, when we were at the border, weren't we attacked by gangsters and our car exploded? Through Lu Aoxiong, we have also caught the gangster who wanted to kill us.
It can be said that the arrest of Lu Aoxiong is a good thing that achieves multiple goals at once and is very gratifying to the people.”
"That's great to hear... That time when the car exploded, if it wasn't for an old lady blocking the way, we would have both died at the border. I was afraid when I came to Yanjing, fearing that they would chase us and take revenge.
I didn't expect Lu Aoxiong to be related to the hospital in the border area." This was unexpected, but also reasonable.
Huo Jianguo nodded slightly and said, "Yes, so Lu Aoguo's case will take longer. The story behind him is too complicated, and we have to dig it out bit by bit."
"Dig hard, the deeper the better. We need to catch all the pests behind these social parasites. There's no rush. I haven't started decorating here anyway, so it will take time to arrange the goods and so on after the decoration is completed." Compared to opening the business, what Huo Jianguo was doing was more important, so Su Mei felt it was okay for her to slow down a bit.
"It won't take too long. Our organization is all about quick decisions." Huo Jianguo replied.
As the couple was talking, someone suddenly came to the house.
The person who came was Lu Xu.
He asked for Su Mei's address on Su Mei Road when she left, but this was his first time visiting Su Mei's home.
According to the house number written by Su Mei, he knocked on the door at the courtyard gate.
It is already late autumn and the chill is getting heavier.
Su Mei and Huo Jianguo were talking while watching TV in the house.
Hearing someone knocking on the door, Huo Jianguo subconsciously wanted to stand up, but Su Mei held him down with her hand. She said, "You've been tired all day, I'll go!"
Su Mei was free during this period, so she tried her best to do whatever was needed at home, consciously taking on more responsibilities.
She stood up, opened the door and walked into the yard. She saw Lu Xu at a glance and called out naturally, "Assistant Lu!"
"You can't call me Assistant Lu now, you have to call me Assistant Xu!" Lu Xu adjusted his glasses and smiled gently at Su Mei.
Assistant Xu? Su Mei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes! It would be nice to change your last name."
"It was Professor Lou who suggested that I change my surname. In addition to changing my surname, I also declared that I had severed my father-son relationship with Lu Aoxiong. Now I have my mother's surname, so I am considered a descendant of the Xu family!
Although this may not be useful, Professor Lou said that I could use this name to work in the research institute first, and he would try his best to use this reason to help me pass the political review.
I have completed all the procedures and officially changed my name to Xu Jiuri...Xu Xu is a bit difficult to pronounce, but this Xu was given by my mother, so I split the word into two~" Speaking of the latter, Xu Jiuri smiled a little embarrassedly.
Although the two words "Jiu Ri" have their meaning, he himself found it a bit funny when he said it.
Su Mei just felt surprised but didn't find it funny. She said seriously, "A new name and a new life are good. I hope your future life will be as good as your name and you will be reborn!"
Although she spoke seriously, Su Mei was thinking in her heart, oh, the political review issue has been resolved, it seems her idea of undermining the company will fail.
Fortunately his name is Lu Xu. Wouldn’t it be terrible if his name was Lu Tian?
"Su Mei?" Seeing that Su Mei was slow to come into the house, Huo Jianguo shouted from inside the house.
Hearing Huo Jianguo's voice, Su Mei remembered that she had blocked him at the door and said so much. She hurriedly said, "Comrade Xu Jiuri, if you have anything to say, please sit down inside and talk. Come in!"
When she first met Lu Xu, she called him Assistant Lu out of habit. Now that she knows that Lu Xu has changed his name, it is not appropriate to call him Assistant anymore. She also doesn't know whether he can become the dean in the end, so Su Mei just calls him by his name.
Xu Jiuri followed Su Mei into the yard.
When the two entered the house, Huo Jianguo had already made a pot of tea.
When he heard Su Mei talking to the person at the door, he already knew that a guest had come to the house.
Looking up, he saw a very delicate and stern-looking man walking in with Su Mei, talking and laughing. Huo Jianguo narrowed his eyes slightly, and walked up to Xu Jiuri with a cup of tea, saying:
"Hello, comrade. Please have some tea. I am Su Mei's lover."
"My husband, Comrade Huo Jianguo." Su Mei also took the initiative to introduce him.
Men understand men. Xu Jiuri immediately felt Huo Jianguo's possessiveness. He knew that Huo Jianguo was asserting his sovereignty, so he quickly took the tea and said, "Thank you Comrade Huo Jianguo for the tea. I am Dean Su's assistant!"
"Former assistant, Su Mei has resigned!" Huo Jianguo said with a cheerful smile.
Xu Jiuri: Are you so happy to quit your job? He didn't know how to respond to Huo Jianguo's words for a moment.
At this time, Su Mei realized that her man's attitude was not right. She glared at Huo Jianguo secretly, and then said to Xu Jiuri:
"Sit down!"
"Okay." Xu Jiuri put down the teacup, stretched out his hand to Huo Jianguo, and said, "Hello, I'm Xu Jiuri!"
"Xu Jiuri?" Huo Jianguo remembered Su Mei's affairs very clearly. He looked at Su Mei and asked, "Isn't your assistant called Lu Xu?"
Su Mei heard this and said, "He is Lu Xu."
"Why two names..." Su Mei had not yet talked to Huo Jianguo about the matter between Lu Xu and Lu Aoxiong, so Huo Jianguo was not sure what to hear.
But then his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, "Oh, I see. His name is Xu Jiuri, and his courtesy name is Lu Xu...right?"
