Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 686 The Year of Miracles

More than two months later.

January 24, 1984, Pengcheng Special Economic Zone, Luohu New Town.

Afternoon, cloudy.

A group of citizens gathered below the Luohu International Commercial Building. Everyone raised their heads and looked up at the roof of the twenty-two-story building. There were also more citizens who were unaware of the situation and subconsciously came over to inquire about what was going on.

Only after asking this question did I know that someone was coming from the capital, and it was very likely that he was also there.

It came so suddenly, there was no news in advance.

Everyone looked at the roof with high respect in their eyes, and at the same time there was a big question mark on their foreheads: How would he evaluate the current situation in the Special Administrative Region?

There is a high probability that there is only one person at the scene who just came to take a look with the mentality of "witnessing history". Li Jiankun stood among the crowd and looked at the roof of the building with all his eyes. Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything. His sight was blocked by the cement guardrail on the roof.

The southern tour in 1984 was different from what many people imagined. There were no loud gongs and drums, no firecrackers, at least at the beginning. Everything happened quietly.

The Southern Tour team set off by train from the capital, temporarily deciding to abandon their rest arrangements and go straight to Pengcheng Special Economic Zone, so that at this moment, most people in the city did not know about it.

After they learned about it, the situation was just like the scene in front of them. While people were excited, they were also deeply worried.

The people upstairs and downstairs are the same.

Since the establishment of the Special Economic Zone, voices of doubt and criticism have never stopped. For example, not long ago, an influential newspaper published an article titled "The Origin of the Historical Concession", reflecting that the Special Economic Zone is a new In the concession, the article also warned people to be wary of the emergence of new compradors and Li Hongzhang-like figures.

Many old people who have visited the Special Administrative Region over the years regard the Special Administrative Region as a heresy. They cry bitterly and lament that except for the red flag, everything else in the Special Administrative Region has been capitalized.

So, should we still establish a special zone? Is it right or wrong to establish a special zone? How is the special zone doing? These questions have always been lingering in the minds of decision-makers, and they must come to see with their own eyes.

"BB! BB!"

Suddenly there was a notification sound, which pulled the attention of nearly a hundred people downstairs, which was still relatively quiet. Everyone looked at the thin young man with "sloppy" hair that looked like he was growing wildly, and everyone looked at him with envy.

The young man wearing a brown leather jacket took off the BB machine from the black belt around his waist, held it in front of his eyes and operated it to check the information——

This is perhaps the most slutty move in the country right now.

Li Jiankun also glanced over subconsciously, looking at the young man for a moment, thinking what a coincidence.

It has been more than two months since he came to the Special Administrative Region from Shanghai, and he has certainly not been idle. People from all over the country now want to develop the pager business and come to discuss cooperation. He wants to make paging stations and pagers spread all over the country immediately, but the equipment, technical personnel, etc. There are all constraints. Another consideration is that some places are just following the trend, and the local economy is too poor to have the foundation to develop the pager business for the time being.

Therefore, Li Jiankun made a reasonable plan and prioritized the development of areas with more consumer groups.

After the Magic City, the first city to reach an agreement was Yangcheng, followed by the four surrounding special economic zones. Half a month ago, the paging station in Pengcheng Special Economic Zone was officially completed and launched.

It is worth mentioning that these are all cooperation with post and telecommunications offices in various places. After discovering and appreciating this piece of cake, they believed that it was within their own business and it would be difficult for other units to get involved, unless Huadian, which controlled the technology and equipment, had some ideas.

However, what happened in the Magic City has now spread through the postal and telecommunications system. Postal and telecommunications people from all over the country come to visit us, and their attitude is simply not very good. I really can't find any reason not to cooperate with them.

The sales situation of BB machines is quite good, because there are many bosses and self-employed people in the places where business is currently conducted. Of course, this is only relatively good, and it can be regarded as meeting Li Jiankun's expectations. Compared with my country's population base, the current sales volume is really not worth mentioning.

Li Jiankun once again looked up at the roof of the building where not even a human hair could be seen. But after today, the situation will be completely different. The "situation" mentioned here is not just the sales situation of BB machines, but the overall economic situation.

He withdrew his gaze and walked towards the young man with the BB camera on his waist.

This move attracted the disdainful looks of many people around him, who obviously regarded him as a flattering person. There were even whispers in his ears:

"Hey, if you see a rich person, just go up to them."

"You look like a dog."

"If you don't package yourself well, how can rich people cheat on you?"

"Are there still many people like this now? They are running around and trying to escape into the mainland. They are called speculators!"

In these words, there is a bit of sour grape mentality.

Because Stone King is dressed very decently: leather jacket, corduroy pants, and shiny leather shoes. The average "blue coat" person can't muster the courage to come forward and talk.

"How's it going?" Li Jiankun walked up to Stone King, pointed to the BB camera he had just put back on his waist, and asked with a smile.

Stone King looked at the man of the same age who was wearing a black woolen coat in front of him. He always felt that he looked familiar, but he was very sure that he had never seen him before. When he heard him talk to him like this, he thought he also wanted to buy a BB machine. "It's very good. It's easy to contact me. I don't have to worry about being delayed if I have something important to do."

Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly changed the subject, raised his head and gestured to the roof of the building and asked, "What do you think of this matter?"

The reason why Li Jiankun asked him how he was using the BB machine was just to make a preface. There is nothing wrong with his products and his customers. He conducts a survey and returns interviews, right?

Stone King actually wants to find someone to chat about this matter now, and among the people around him, it seems that the only one with a good temperament of the same age in front of him seems to be a suitable target for chatting. So although Stone King was stunned, he quickly came back to his senses. He thought: The other party probably thinks so too.

"This incident could have two completely opposite results."

"Oh?" Li Jiankun looked like he was waiting for the next step.

Stone King continued: "One is that the development model of the special zone is denied, then everything will return to the past... But I think this probability is very low. The development of the special zone is to find a breakthrough in the difficult economic situation. Putting aside other aspects, from an economic perspective alone, it has worked, hasn’t it?

“The total agricultural and industrial output value of the Special Administrative Region in 1983 increased tenfold compared to that in 1979!

“Our biggest national policy at the moment is to focus on economic development.

<divclass="contentadv">"I am 70% confident in predicting that the development model of the SAR will be affirmed. If this is the case——"

When Stone King said this, his voice was long, a flash of light burst out from his small eyes, and after a small forceful punch, he continued: "Then for those who are ambitious, the time to do something big is now. coming!"

Li Jiankun smiled and asked, "Like you?"

"Aren't you the same?" Stone King asked back.

The two looked at each other and smiled. Stone King's eyes were still vicious, and he obviously saw that Li Jiankun was not an ordinary person; and Li Jiankun knew him better.

Stone King now has at least 3 million RMB in his pocket.

His business model for making this money is very simple: smuggling a large amount of cheap crops from the Northeast, using the Special Economic Zone as a transit point, and then reselling them to areas with almost no crop production, and he can't do without the Hong Kong market of boiled chicken, barbecued pork and roasted goose. city.

Of course, starting from this year, this money-making model, which he thinks is still making cool money, will be eliminated. Then he started trading imported office supplies, and then Vanke...

Li Jiankun raised his head again, this time he did not look towards the roof of the building, but towards the sky.

Through the somewhat hazy sky, he saw the glow overflowing from behind the gray clouds; when the salty sea breeze blew, he smelled the surging breath of spring.

1984 was destined to be an extraordinary year.

After this southern tour, soon, the fourteen cities and Qiongdao on the southern coast of our country will be opened to the world.

Subsequently, the policy of "allowing individuals to set up handicraft workshops and small shops" will be introduced, which will completely revitalize the economy.

Although self-employment has been around for a long time, it was previously targeted. The self-employed business license was mainly granted to educated youth and urban residents in need. Now it is open to everyone. This policy will create one thing:

Business for all.

In May, the dual-track price system will be introduced again, and the contemporary term "Taiye" will officially and unabashedly enter the stage of history, and make a lot of money.

In this turbulent and exciting year, entrepreneurs like Stone King will not miss the opportunity:

Lenovo was born in the computer communication room of the Academy of Sciences.

Haier Zhang walked into the "Qingdao Daily Necessities and Electrical Appliances Factory" which was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Jianlibao Li is gearing up to deliver his drink to the Olympic Games.

Geely Li also wielded a hammer to build his Arctic Flower refrigerator.

Some people are waiting for the opportunity:

They are the giant Shi who started writing software right after graduation; Pan from SOHO who earns a monthly salary of 46 yuan; Alima who failed twice before being admitted to the English Department of Hangzhou Normal University; Baidu Li, the genius boy who won the national computer award; the first Jingdong Liu was excited about seeing electric lights for the first time...

This year, ordinary people received the first-generation ID cards, sports lottery tickets were sold for the first time, and the Sino-British Joint Declaration was signed...

Few years are as hot as 1984.

Li Jiankun's heart was surging at this time, and he had the same thoughts as the Stone King next to him: In such a turbulent year, how could he not do something big?

"BB! BB!"

Another prompt sounded, and the people around followed the sound and looked at Stone King again, only to find that the latter was indifferent, and instead looked at the tall young man wearing a black woolen coat next to him.

Li Jiankun took off the BB camera from his waist. It was a message from Brother Qiang:

"Come home for dinner tonight, I have something to do!"

Okay, I'm really craving for old Hu's dumplings. I had a meal last time and I'm still unsatisfied.

Li Jiankun waved his hand to Stone King, said goodbye and left. The astonished eyes of the people around him fell on him and moved with his body:

I saw the man in the black coat walking straight across the road and walking towards a shiny black Crown car.

Snapped!

The driver's door opened and the black coat got in.

boom!

The engine roared, and the Crown car with a particularly eye-catching black license plate was bathed in the golden-red glow that fell between the gaps in the clouds. It gradually moved away, taking away all the eyeballs.

Stone King suddenly slapped his thigh, and his eyes showed a sudden emotion. He finally remembered who the tall young man was. No wonder the other party asked him if the pager was working.

Looking at the tail lights that were about to disappear at the corner of the street, Stone King's eyes revealed a sense of respect.

Others don't know, but he can guess that the other party is more than just a manager of a joint venture, if even he has quietly saved three million.
