Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

A stall was naturally not a problem for Li Youjie.

But Li Youcai didn't expect that Huang Juan actually wanted to do business on her own.

"Then what are you going to sell?" Li Youcai asked.

"Corn, our brigade's corn harvest is very good this year. My father said that even after paying the public grain tax, there will still be a lot left. According to the previous rules, the brigade will sell some of this corn and distribute some to each household."

"In the past, the brigade sold grain directly to the grain station at a very low price, so I plan to discuss with our brigade secretary whether we can sell all the corn at the market."

Huang Juan actually had this idea not long ago.

It was because Huang Laosan said a few words at the dinner table last night when he was having dinner at home. He said that the corn harvest was very good, and it would be great if there was a place to sell all the corn at a good price.

When Huang Juan walked into the market just now, she saw the small vendors selling vegetables at stalls, and then she suddenly came up with this idea.

"You can use the stall anytime. The entire market belongs to us. You can use it however you want." Li Youjie said immediately.

Huang Juan heard this and put on a smile: "Then I won't be polite."

"Juan, I support you in selling corn, but I suggest you think about it carefully. It would be best to buy the corn directly from your team secretary in the name of the market, and then transport it to the market and sell it at a higher price." Li Youjie suggested.

Li Youjie has grown a lot in this year and has seen many strange things.

Take the market he guards for example. There are many conflicts arising from the distribution of profits. Some individuals help the group sell goods, and when they make money, they feel that they have contributed more and should get more.

There are also cases where brothers open a stall together, and after making money, they turn against each other and both want to monopolize the business.

In short, there are countless disputes arising from various issues of interest.

Just as Huang Juan said, she wanted to discuss with their brigade secretary to take the collective corn to the market and sell it at a high price. Her intention was good and she could make money.

But Li Youjie felt that if this were to be done, there would most likely be a problem of uneven distribution of money in the end.

Unless Huang Juan doesn't care about personal gains and losses and develops her style to serve the team as a whole, but in that case Li Youjie feels that Huang Juan will suffer too much.

"Why? If that's the case, it will require a lot of capital." Huang Juan was a little puzzled.

According to Huang Juan's own idea, she originally planned to talk directly to the brigade secretary. She would help the brigade sell corn and make some profits from it. This way, she would not have to invest any capital, just put in more effort. After the corn was sold, she would pay the rent to the market.

In this way, the brigade can make more money, she can also make some money, and the market can also get rent, which is a three-pronged approach.

"The capital is easy to talk about. I'll just give it to you."

"I've seen too many things like this here. No matter how good things sound at first, when it comes time to split the money, no one is immune to pain. There are countless examples of good things going wrong."

"You buy directly from the brigade and settle the payment with them. No matter how much money you make in the market, it will have nothing to do with your brigade. There will be no subsequent trouble."

Li Youjie briefly explained the pros and cons of this matter to Huang Juan.

After carefully pondering Li Youjie's words, Huang Juan also felt that Li Youjie was right.

Just this money...

Huang Juan was unwilling to borrow money from Li Youjie from the bottom of her heart. Even though they were already engaged, she was unwilling to take Li Youjie's money before officially getting married. That would make her feel ashamed.

This is completely different from asking Li Youcai for a stall. Huang Juan asked for the stall not because she didn't want to pay at all, but because she wanted to wait until she made money before paying.

Soon, Huang Juan thought of her betrothal money. She could use part of this money to buy some corn from the brigade, sell it in the market, and then continue to buy from the brigade.

Just like ants moving.

Huang Juan smiled triumphantly after figuring out a solution. "I've decided to adopt your suggestion and buy from the brigade. Business people call this 'purchasing,' right?"

"Correct."

Li Youjie also smiled and responded to Huang Juan.

Five days later.

Opening ceremony of Zhenweiju.

The signboard of Zhenweiju Restaurant has been hung in the space reserved on the awning, and a long rainbow is hung on it to deliberately block it.

Li Youcai not only had a horizontal plaque made, but also had two standing signs made, which were hung on the cement beads on both sides.

The sign on the left reads: Food is the most important thing for the people, and food safety comes first.

The sign on the right reads: Safety is based on quality, quality is based on sincerity

Zhenweiju.

With the plaque, the whole restaurant seemed to come alive and the feeling was suddenly different.

At this time, in front of the restaurant, more than a dozen graceful waiters wearing red silk cheongsams with gold flowers stood on both sides, throwing handfuls of candy into the crowd.

Many people came to catch them, and those who couldn't catch them bent down to pick them up with a smile, creating a joyous atmosphere.

The scene was crowded with people who came to watch the fun, and the entrance of the restaurant was blocked.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Zhenweiju officially opened.

Gao Dapeng wore a suit today, a red tie, and his hair was oiled and dotted with gold stars. He looked like a groom, with a smile on his face from beginning to end, and he was so handsome.

Li Youcai finally saw how extensive Gao Dapeng's network of contacts was.

When the hotel opened, Gao Dapeng's guests alone occupied nearly 70% of the private rooms on the second and third floors, with more than people in total.

Moreover, judging from the way these people were dressed and their demeanor, the vast majority of them were prominent figures, including some who held positions in government offices, as well as leaders in various state-owned and collective units.

In comparison, Li Youcai seemed a little dim today, not as brilliant as Gao Dapeng.

But Li Youcai was even happier.

The wider Gao Dapeng's network of contacts is, the more beneficial it will be for his future business.

Li Youcai never intended to make a lot of money through this restaurant. What he valued were his connections, which was a huge fortune that could never be calculated!

A figure walked up to Gao Dapeng and Li Youcai and said, "Old Gao, congratulations on the opening of your restaurant."

It was Bai Tianming from the catering company.

Back then, Li Youcai and Gao Dapeng planned to take over the six state-owned restaurants of the catering company, but after all the fuss, they ended up with nothing.

This also indirectly led to Gao Dapeng leaving the catering company.

Seeing Bai Tianming, Gao Dapeng greeted him with a smile: "Lao Bai, you're a little late. I've reserved a seat for you. Let me take you upstairs to the private room."

As Gao Dapeng left, another figure followed him.

Li Youcai looked at the man as a stranger, having never seen him before.

There were too many guests today, and Li Youcai didn’t know more than half of them. They were all Gao Dapeng’s guests.

"Welcome, welcome." Li Youcai took the initiative to greet him.

"Congratulations, I'm Zhong Yuanbing from Guangyuan Cannery. I'm sorry to bother you by coming here uninvited today." The man bowed and clasped his fists with a smile on his face.

Zhong Yuanbing!
