Return To 1977 Chapter 612: Open the mouth

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

Just after Hong Yanwu gradually smoothed some things in his hands, he unexpectedly discovered that something was wrong at home.

His biological father, Hong Lucheng, seemed to be in a very low mood for some unknown reason. I'm always lost in thought while reading the newspaper, and I'm always sighing alone.

This made him have to dig deeper.

He found out after asking his mother about it. I am really a bit of a hindsight and am not worthy of being this son.

Because Wang Yunlin told him that his father had actually been troubled for more than a month.

It wasn't because of anything else, but because of two pieces of news published one after another in the newspaper.

First, on October 7, the "Beijing Evening News" published an article on the front page: "The city's first self-employed Yuebin Restaurant opens today."

The above briefly records the process of how Guo Peiji and Liu Guixian of "Cuihua Hutong" traveled here and there to obtain a temporary business license and a special grain and oil book.

He also wrote about how they went through many ups and downs before raising 500 yuan in funds with the help of the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau and barely opening their doors.

But even though the "Yuebin Restaurant" only has a space of 25 square meters, there are only four round tables and sixteen benches. Surprisingly, business was extremely booming on the opening day.

The queue stretched to the entrance of the alley. On the first day of business, the small restaurant received about 200 customers.

The emergence of "Yuebin Restaurant" and related reports have had a very positive social effect. Then on November 4, another blockbuster news was published in the "Beijing Evening News".

It is said that the Beijing City Government has officially approved and forwarded the Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce’s “Request for Instructions on Allowing Individual Entrepreneurs to Engage in the Business of Food, Snacks and Small Commodities”.

This also means that the business scope of self-employed individuals in industry and commerce has expanded again. From now on, anyone can open a private restaurant reasonably and legally.

Does it still need to be said about Hong Lucheng’s thoughts? It was obvious that he was thinking of his old shop.

Wang Yunlin is of course the person who can understand her husband best. As long as Hong Lucheng wants to do it, she will support him. For this reason, I even asked him specifically if he was tempted? Do you want to reopen the old shop?

But Hong Lucheng himself claimed that he was already retired. At such an old age, I'm afraid it will make people slander me if I bother with it any more. He also said that the Hong family loves money.

Moreover, the policy has just been loosened. No one can say how it will change in the future. Don’t let the whole family suffer again. Just don't bother with this.

After hearing this, Wang Yunlin never mentioned the matter again. But now it seems that Hong Lucheng still has a knot in his mind.

Just because his own attitude is still very contradictory. She really didn't know how to persuade her.

When Hong Yanwu heard this, he took the initiative to talk to his father. I want to rely on my sharp tongue to resolve the old man's concerns.

Using the guise of Song Guofu, he said that the Industrial and Commercial Bureau had a firm attitude and had repeatedly expanded its staff. From the opening of farmers' markets to the repeated expansion of the scope of business licenses issued to individuals, everything proves that the country is vigorously developing and supporting the private economy.

He then analyzed the social situation and said that the private economy is the most effective supplement that the entire society needs at the moment, which can not only solve people's livelihood needs, but also provide jobs. Moreover, we have fully understood the shortcomings of abolishing the private economy in the past, and we will never go back.

After everything was laid out, he finally said, "Dad, I understand you. After retirement, I have nothing to do at home. I am already uncomfortable with leisure. How can you not be greedy to see other people doing business? In this case, you can treat our family "Yanmei Building" will be opened again. Anyway, the houses are ready. I'll go back and find someone to clean up the shop, and then ask Song Guofu to get you a business license.

"You don't have to worry about the grain and oil. Others may worry about the word 'special' in the 'Special Grain and Oil Book' and feel that it is precarious, but we don't need to. With my relationship with the Song family, this matter is absolutely No problem. Just go ahead. How can we lose money if such a small "Yuebin Restaurant" becomes so popular?

He didn't expect that the old man was not that easy to fool. Although there were some things he knew that he deliberately did not say, Hong Lucheng actually pointed out the key point himself.

"You are too optimistic and too absolute. You only look at the present. This is the problem of young people. Let me tell you, nothing can go forward forever, there must be repetitions. And the word 'official' is two words. What should I do if it really changes?"

"Don't believe it. Yes, private trading has many advantages, but it also has many disadvantages. If you need it now, no matter what, it will be fine. If time goes by, it will be time to catch its sore feet and problems."

"Not to mention anything else, there are no guilds now, and most of them are hawkers. First of all, there is a shortage of pounds, the price is uncertain, and there will be more and more people being deceived in sales disputes. The officials are in charge, and the masses are troubled. There will be dissatisfaction. By then, the benefits will be forgotten.”

"Besides, everything is lacking in the current market. As you said, it is too easy to make money. I dare say that the small restaurant in this newspaper has a monthly net profit of at least a thousand, and even two thousand. But how much does a bureau chief earn? If you can be mentally balanced as an official? Plus, if the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, those with power in the fields of industry and commerce, taxation, health, and streets won’t be jealous. Don’t you have any objections?”

"One last thing, it's really not okay to do public business. Because if you work for the public and you make money, you won't be happy, and you won't worry about losing money. Most of them are fooling around. But private business is different. You have to try your best to please customers. . This was not obvious in the past, but it will be embarrassing if there is any comparison in the future. Can you be allowed to do better than the public business? Think about the consequences of everything combined..." /

Hey, this description is really the same as everything that happened in history. It can only be said that the old man has a thorough understanding of the world.

But Hong Yanwu has not given up yet. Because in his opinion, the old shop's repeated announcement is just to open a restaurant. How sensitive can it be? In fact, he was only thinking about restoring his ancestral business to comfort his father, and it was incomparable with the "big things" he wanted to "trouble with." There is really no need to hibernate.

He continued to persuade, "Dad, you are so hesitant, don't miss business opportunities again. There will be more restaurants later, and it will be too late for you to regret it if it doesn't work. I admit that your analysis is reasonable. But Isn’t it just a small business? It doesn’t affect the national economy and people’s livelihood. It’s not as serious as you think.”

But as soon as he said this, he got scolded. Provoked his father to teach him a lesson.

"You still have business opportunities! What is a business opportunity? Just trying to make a little money in a short period of time is called a business opportunity? That's called speculation."

"I tell you, there is no shortage of smart and lucky people in shopping malls in any dynasty or generation, who can be the first to discover gold that no one has seen. But this is not a real good thing. These people have only a short-term glory, absolutely It will be surpassed by those who come after you. The reason is this "first", which will not only bring about huge profits, but also make people unwilling to make progress. It will also be burdened by the reputation, and it will often attract others to covet it, causing pressure and contradictions from all aspects to converge. , that’s one against many, okay?”

"On the contrary, the real beneficiary is the latecomer. Because of this first, those who follow will know the depth of this and can take effective measures against various high-probability difficulties. Be prepared. Sufficient, get twice the result with half the effort, move forward lightly. And in addition to being quick-minded, most of the people who follow are also people with unique advantages in capital, manpower, experience, and connections. On the other hand, if this 'first' is not the first. If you have no other strengths, it will be too difficult to maintain your advantage."

"For the same reason, the current market is the same. Those who do it first will indeed take advantage of the first move. But it is not certain whether they can cope with the conflict once it breaks out later. You have to wait until the problem is solved, and the market It’s easier to do things when order is stable. After all, business doesn’t happen overnight. It’s precisely because of this that the Hong family never tries to do business quickly.”

"And what did you just say? Re-opening an old shop is a small business? Wrong. Food is the first priority for the people, and food is always the market with the widest and most stable demand. Why did the ancestors of the Hong family choose this line of business? Because Only when the market is large enough can it be a business that can be pursued for a long time, is it worthy of serious consideration, and can it be an inheritance that can benefit future generations. ”

The more Hong Yanwu listened, the more interesting these words became, but there were some things he still couldn't understand. The focus of his attention had unconsciously shifted. I couldn't help but continue to ask for advice.

"It seems that you have to wait any longer. As long as you are not in a hurry and are prudent, you can strike later. But I don't understand. When the day comes when you really do it, how can you be sure that you will do it later? Do you think you are better than others? Where do you get your confidence? Also, aren't you a bit too sure about not taking the wrong path if you have a really good opportunity? ? Wouldn’t it be a pity to let it go?”

Hong Lucheng sighed with emotion. "You probably think I'm anxious and can't sit still, right? Let me tell you. I'm anxious for nothing else. In fact, I just want to do it, but there's no suitable person."

"Why do I have the confidence? The Hong family has been in the business for more than a hundred years, and the experience and know-how of this industry are all in my mind. But no matter how knowledgeable you are, you still need people to do it. Opening a restaurant does not mean having ingredients. Just have tables, chairs, and benches. The three treasures of the restaurant are kitchen workers, waiters, and waiters. But where can I find suitable people now? I would rather not work in a random job. Slap yourself in the face."

"Finally, I might as well tell you that it's not a pity to have money but not to earn it. Don't envy this. If your father wants to do it, it's actually too easy to make quick money. It's just a two-word trick. If you understand it, anyone can do it. Be a smart person and find the "number one" to do it. Just don't do it just for making money, for ease, and for quick success. Otherwise, you will go astray and hurt yourself."

These last few sentences made Hong Yanwu's eyes shine involuntarily. He is not afraid of any side effects and deliberately provokes each other.

"Why don't I believe it? You are too loud. Two words can cure all diseases? Tell me and I will listen?"

But how could his own father be fooled? Hong Lucheng straightened his face and turned his army around.

"Want to know? Okay. I can tell you. But I have conditions. Are you not working as a cook now? When will you be able to work to the first level and really be worthy of a chef? One day, the old shop Zhongzhang, can you still help me? Ask me again..."

Yes, Hong Yanwu was stabbed alive.

Then he thought about it, why did he feel that his biological father was a bit sinister? Could it be that he was deliberately dangled with carrots in order to defraud him of free labor?

You actually want him to be a chef? Doesn’t that make him such a wise and powerful person? This doesn't quite fit in with his vision of himself riding on colorful auspicious clouds and wearing golden helmets.
