Return To 1977 Chapter 718: Wonderful Chess
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
On January 30, on the afternoon of the third day after the clothing market was confiscated, opinions came out.
The "West Chang'an Street Industrial and Commercial Office" invited the public security and tax authorities to hold a briefing meeting for the unlicensed vendors waiting to be dealt with.
At the beginning of the meeting, the Director of Industry and Commerce seriously emphasized the need to crack down on speculative activities.
It is said that these unlicensed vendors take advantage of economic freedom to seek high profits, harm the masses, seriously undermine the socialist economic order and public order, and must be forcibly banned.
The specific punishment measures were then announced.
Not only will all business supplies and goods be confiscated, but fines will also be imposed.
The specific range is between ten yuan and fifty yuan, depending on each person's attitude.
Then, give each person a piece of paper to write an inspection on.
It means that it is actually serious.
Not only is there no mention of a lighter punishment for first offenders.
Afterwards, the relevant departments were invited to give an ideological education class to these undocumented households and to issue a more severe warning in advance for the next offense.
Tell them on the spot that all of them have been recorded, and if anyone is caught again, they will be regarded as repeat offenders.
At that time, it will no longer be just a matter of confiscation and fines. If you have an employer, report it to your employer, and if you don't have an employer, notify your place of residence. If there are serious circumstances, you may even be prosecuted.
So after this meeting, all the unlicensed vendors wanted to slap themselves in the face and regretted coming here.
That's right. Think about it, who doesn’t want to get something back and recover some losses?
You must know that coming here is just throwing yourself into a trap, and you have to be fined, so you are a fool.
But what’s interesting is that when these people walked out of the industrial and commercial office with their heads downcast, they soon didn’t think so anymore.
Because when they dispersed, there were five or six people waiting at the door.
As soon as these people saw these vendors coming out, they came over to greet them in low voices.
"Do you want the stalls at the clothing night market? Anyone who wants it can come with us..."
Needless to say, this move immediately caused a commotion. Could those vendors not be excited?
They immediately remembered the conversation between the person from the Industrial and Commercial Office and the young man with long hair at the confiscation scene a few days ago.
No one thought that such an incredible thing actually happened in the world.
Therefore, dozens of people from Wuyang Wuyang surrounded these boys on the spot and asked what was going on.
Of course you can't say it here, you must find a secluded place first.
In this way, this group of people came to the main road together, turned into the deserted North Xinhua Street, and finally stopped at the empty door of the "Beijing Concert Hall", and the mystery was revealed.
What's going on?
It's actually very simple. These five or six people were arranged by Hong Yanwu to come here. I want to find some suitable candidates to sublet the stalls at the clothing night market.
In Hong Yanwu’s plan, why should he help Song Guofu plan the market and let his subordinates do clothing retail and Huacheng wholesale?
They are all excessive businesses.
For him, doing this is not to make a profit, but to cultivate the market as quickly as possible and serve one ultimate goal - shop leasing.
Don’t forget, commercial real estate is also real estate! What is Hong Yanwu's background? Black-hearted real estate developer!
What's more, anyone who has lived through this era will know how much the land of Xidan is worth and how much oil and water there is.
In fact, state-owned stores are the first beneficiaries.
For example, Xidan Mall after the reform and opening up was the first in Beijing to rent out shops to the outside world.
The "bringing factories into stores" model pioneered by it has become a common business method that almost all shopping malls have followed.
It is precisely because of this that Xidan Mall has become the first independent store in Beijing with annual sales exceeding one billion.
As for other kinds of "small landowners", there are even more.
To be honest, in places like Baihua, Quanyechang, National World, and Warwick Building, the really rich and happy merchants were not the merchants who worked hard every day to practice their stalls.
It is the first batch of self-employed people who are lucky enough to settle here on a first-come, first-served basis.
These people started working very early, and it should be said that they have fully enjoyed the dividends of the times.
When it was easier to make money in the beginning, they just did it themselves. Later, when the market competition became more intense, they sublet the stalls to more capable people.
Not only can you still enjoy the food and drink, but you also don’t have to work by yourself. So the market for subletting stalls was formed.
But those who are smarter than them are actually those who arrived later but dared to sign long-term contracts from them and hold a large number of stalls in their hands.
It was these people who invented the "sublease fee" and the "top fee." It was also these people who followed the market and became second landlords, causing the stall fees to rise step by step and turning them into an investment product.
It is no exaggeration to say that when the "Korea Town" in Warwick Building was at its peak, there were already four people separated between the self-employed tenant and the real licensed owner of a small 2x3 stall.
Think about it, there are six people living in such a big place. Needless to say, how huge the profits are!
It is precisely because of this that people who have been doing business in Beijing for many years have a consensus - even though they earn a lot of money every day, the money earned through hard work is already paid for the rent!
From this perspective, it is normal for Hong Yanwu to make such a choice.
Yes, everyone in this era knows that to make money as a business owner, to make money by reselling treasury bills, you have to collect stamps, antiques, and old-fashioned furniture, but these are tricks that ordinary people can think of.
It's not cost-effective for Hong Yanwu, and the layout is too small.
And he still has a lot of self-respect and a sense of honor.
He felt that if he had to live his whole life again, he would have to keep his head down and work hard like an ox or a horse. Isn't it a shame to open a trading shop and make money by calculating carefully and working hard!
How can he follow the script and completely follow other people's old paths? That's not much better than a pig.
Take sea cucumbers as an example. Others only catch and sell them privately, but he can hoard them and speculate on market prices.
Take reselling movie tickets as an example. He can bring together stragglers to turn the "scalper" business into a dominant business and realize a precise division of labor in a group.
Taking collecting as an example, he is really ruthless about the calligraphy, painting, and seal stones that have the highest price/performance ratio, the highest appreciation potential, and are completely legal to buy and sell.
Take the matter of flipping foreign exchange certificates as an example. Others can only get a 20% profit from it, but he can play tricks and get several times huge profits from it.
At the same time, you can also stock up on thousands of boxes of Moutai wine, waiting for its value to rise in the future.
This is the state of a reborn person, not wasting the decades he has lived. right?
So, the same goes for clothing. What he thinks about is how to make the most money with the least worry.
How is a song sung? Fifty-six ethnic groups and fifty-six flowers...
To him, these fifty-six stalls are fifty-six 24K pure gold flowers, which will bear numerous golden fruits for him in the future.
Let him lie down on the bed and be his Xidan tyrant comfortably.
When it comes to this, some people may have doubts.
I think these stalls are rented under other people’s names. Can Hong Yanwu always dominate? If people don't do it and risk their lives for money, what can you do no matter how hard you do it?
This situation is absolutely impossible. Don’t forget, this is not an era with perfect legal system. The stall is your name. Is there a contract? Who do you listen to on this matter? Listen to the country.
Song Guofu was Hong Yanwu's owner, and it was just a matter of words to prevent anyone from doing it. Is it not easy to revoke your license if you make a mistake?
Maybe some people are worried that those who practice stalls in the market will be happy? If you do a good job, wouldn't it mean that your income will be reduced if you don't rent it to others?
Hey, don’t worry about that. How big is the capital? The market also needs to develop. In fact, Hong Yanwu had already made arrangements for these people, and he was still thinking about letting them go to other Feng Shui treasures to "block their seats".
Don't worry, his people's income will only get higher and higher.
Of course, this matter will never end in peace. What Hong Yanwu feels is really troublesome now is that the market has just started and is immature.
Think about it, this is not an era in the future when everyone is doing business.
For now, not only are few people able to see the true value of clothing night market stalls, but also few people can afford the amount Hong Yanwu wants.
So, how to find someone willing to rent a stall as soon as possible has become a top priority.
In comparison, those who do business secretly by themselves are courageous, knowledgeable, and still have some money in their hands. They became Hong Yanwu's first targets.
Then using official connections to drive them away, and then renting the stalls to them privately, this is naturally a clever move that kills two birds with one stone.
Only from a practical point of view, the effect is still far worse than expected.
Because when Hong Yanwu's people reported the monthly rent of 600, it immediately caused a group uproar.
Not only did many people say indignant words such as "I'm so poor" and "Isn't that wrong?", there were also many people who turned around and left without looking back, and the crowd was about to disperse. .
Thanks to Hong Yanwu's early arrangements, those five or six people quickly shouted again. He said he could work around it and test it for a few days. Make sure they don't take any risks.
In this way, a dozen more interested people were retained.
The people who followed Hong Yanwu elaborated, and what they meant was to let these people sell their goods during the experiment.
The rent is calculated on a daily basis. If the profit exceeds 20 yuan a day, they only charge rent. If they do not make 20 yuan a day, the profit belongs to these people.
In this way, everyone will have an idea of their daily income. Whether the six hundred is high or not will be clear by then.
Anyway, for those people, they can only make a profit without losing any money, so what should they not dare to do?
After saying this, these dozen people almost nodded in agreement.
Finally, Hong Yanwu’s initial goal was barely achieved
