"What did you say? You want to open a store? Nannan, listen to your mother. This is undermining socialism. We shouldn't do this."
Lin Yuemei frowned tightly. She didn't know why the first thing her daughter did after returning home after a while was to open a store. This was speculation and profiteering. If someone reported it or the police found out, she would go to jail and be shot.
No, absolutely not. Nan Nan is still young and doesn't know how to be careless. She has to stop it.
"Oh, Mom, look, it says in the newspaper that we ordinary people are encouraged to do business and make money. How can that be considered poaching?" Su Nan sat opposite Lin Yuemei and Su Qiangguo, pointing at the newspaper he had just bought on the table and said excitedly.
God knows how long she had been waiting for this day. As soon as she got off the train, she heard this shocking news on the radio. She didn't even go home, but ran straight to the newspaper office and supply and marketing cooperatives. She went to several places before she bought the newspaper.
"This... have you forgotten what happened to those businessmen a few years ago? The policy is one thing today and another thing tomorrow. Who knows how it will change. Let's not get involved in this mess. Be obedient."
Lin Yuemei glanced at Su Qiangguo who was silent and could only persuade him herself.
Su Nan held her forehead helplessly. She had come from a different background, so she naturally knew that there would be no more unexpected changes, that things would only get better and better in the future, and that policies would only become more liberal. However, Lin Yuemei and the others didn't know that.
So Su Nan sighed, sorted out his words, and then said, "Mom, no, since the higher-ups have issued such a strategy, it proves that ordinary people like us really need to do business, develop the economy, and promote the growth of national income."
"We rely on our own hands to earn a better life. In the future, everyone will be able to eat meat every day, wear new clothes every day, live in Western-style houses, drive cars, and build high-rise buildings."
Hearing this, Lin Yuemei was amused: "It would be great if the day you mentioned could really come true."
The tone of voice clearly showed that he didn't hear Su Nan's words and didn't take them seriously.
Lin Yuemei was about to say something when she was interrupted by Su Qiangguo beside her: "Nannan, as a father, I support your decision."
Suddenly, three pairs of incredulous eyes looked at Su Qiangguo.
Su Nan reacted the fastest, clapping his hands and saying sweetly, "Thank you, my dear father."
"I also agree with my sister's decision." Seeing this, Su Yang also raised his hand and hurriedly stood in line, fearing that he would miss the trip if he was a second late.
"Thank you, my dear brother."
Lin Yuemei was stunned for two seconds, then slapped Su Qiangguo on the thigh in anger, which made him grit his teeth and prevent him from yelling in front of his two children and losing face.
"Okay, so you've been letting me be the bad guy all along while you've been secretly preparing to be the good guy? In the past, I supported Nan Nan in all her decisions, but now, can you just support her so casually?"
Su Qiangguo grabbed Lin Yuemei's hand and said with deep emotion, "Nannan has made every decision without consulting us these days, and she's still doing well, isn't she?"
"As the children grow up, they often ask for our opinions before making some decisions. They don't really ask us to have a say in the decision, but just want to gain the support of the family."
"Besides, I've read the newspaper and discussed this with my colleagues at the factory. We all think this is a long-term policy, and the higher-ups won't resort to useless gimmicks."
Su Qiangguo's words successfully made Lin Yuemei nod.
Su Nan suddenly felt a lump in his throat, and it took him a long time to burst into laughter. He walked forward and hugged a few people.
In this way, Su Nan was busy looking for a suitable store in the next few days. It had to be in a place with a large flow of people, and the storefront had to be large enough to meet the decoration style she had in mind.
During the field investigation, Su Nan found that there were many more small vendors on the street. Most of them were farmers who came from the countryside to sell agricultural products. Some of them were obviously old hands in the black market and were very good at greeting customers.
After the policy comes out, there are people who stay where they are and want to wait and see for a while, and naturally there are also people who bravely take action to earn their first pot of gold.
Su Nan had been running around with Su Yang, who was idle at home during the holiday, these days. She was exhausted every day and finally found a suitable house after a week.
The house is located in the city, surrounded by a middle school, a primary school, two large factories and employee accommodation areas, a shopping center, a supply and marketing cooperative, two state-owned hotels, and is only three blocks away from Shanghai University.
The flow of people is guaranteed and the geographical location is also good.
The house looked newly built and looked new from the outside. It had two floors and a small yard outside, but it was overgrown with weeds and it was obvious that no one took care of it and no one lived there.
Su Nan fell in love with the house at first sight. After asking people nearby many times, he finally confirmed the owner of the house. He also found out why such a nice house was unoccupied.
This house was originally intended to be used to open a new supply and marketing cooperative, but due to land disputes, it was never finalized.
The oil factory said that half of the land belonged to them, so half of the house also belonged to them. However, the supply and marketing cooperative said that although they also owned half of the land, the house was built by the supply and marketing cooperative.
After all the arguments, there was no definite conclusion. If anyone was to blame, it was the relevant cadres of the supply and marketing cooperative who were clever and thought that if they built the house, the oil refinery would be in trouble and that both the house and the land would belong to the supply and marketing cooperative.
But who knew that the director of the oil factory was a stubborn person. He sent people to guard the house every day. If the supply and marketing cooperative dared to send people to open a store, they would smash it. They would rather die than let the supply and marketing cooperative take advantage of them.
So after a long time, such a nice house became idle.
Su Nan touched his chin, thought for a moment, and then rode his bicycle to the oil factory. However, the oil factory was very strictly managed and outsiders were not allowed in.
"Uncle, is your factory manager in the factory now?" Su Nan handed the bicycle to Su Yang for safekeeping, and ran to ask the security guard who was sitting by the fire at the door.
Hearing this, the old man raised his eyelids and said lazily, "Yes."
Su Nan's smile deepened, and she said with a slanted look, "I'm an actress from the Shanghai Film Studio. I came here to ask if your director is interested in working with us. We'll consider shooting a short film at the studio and putting it in the movie."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Nan was frightened by the security guard who suddenly jumped up from his chair. He subconsciously took a step back and stammered, "What, what happened?"
"Girl, are you telling the truth?" The security guard looked at Su Nan seriously, as if he would slap her in the face if she said it was false.
"Of course it's real. This is my actor's certificate." Su Nan swallowed and quickly took out his certificate from his bag and handed it to the security guard.
The security guard took the ID with a skeptical look. After squinting his eyes to see it clearly, he suddenly said excitedly, "I know you, I know you."
