Rebirth: 1977

Yushan is a small hill less than 200 meters high. Going up the steps, you will see dense shade from trees. Without the scorching sun, the cool breeze is so refreshing that you can even forget that it is a scorching summer day.

'Yushan Park' is small and exquisite, located halfway up the mountain. The group did not climb to the top of the mountain, but sat halfway up the mountain for half an hour to enjoy the cool air.

At a glance, you can see the bluestone steps extending to the top of the mountain. Ye Tianshui knows that at most at the top of the mountain he can get a little more sun, but there is really no attractive scenery.

If it were spring or autumn, he would be willing to climb up and take a look at the current appearance of this Jiangnan town below his feet.

In a few years, this wholesale market will flourish.

But now he has no interest in it anymore.

"Feiyang, Yueyue, if you want to go up and take a look, bring Xiaoping with you to play for a while. We will wait for you here."

Young people are full of energy and of course they are interested. They also know that what Ye Tianshui said means that he no longer wants to go up.

"Okay, I'll take them up there for a little fun and come right down."

Feiyang looked at the winding mountain road and said excitedly.

"Ajun, you and Xu Kai should go and take a look too. This is the first time for you to climb such a high mountain."

Ye Tianshui looked at Chen Jun and Xu Kai who were equally interested.

"Okay, sir, let's just take a look and come back. This is the first time I've seen such an exquisite mountain."

Chen Jun smiled and looked at his son and Yuan Chengguo bravely, agreed immediately, and pulled Xu Kai to chase after them:

"Mr. Yun, wait for us."

He could see that the young master had something to say to Yuan Chengguo, and besides, such a short mountain did make him curious.

Yuan Cheng and Guo Kang grew up in the south of the Yangtze River and were not attracted by such "mountain scenery".

What's more, Yushan is also a place with beautiful scenery for young people from both Sucheng and Pingcheng.

The quiet and elegant little park and the winding mountain road are both good choices for young people to talk about love.

It happens to be the border between two cities, so young people from the two cities, as long as they have bicycles at home, choose this place to travel during holidays.

So, Yuan Cheng and Kokang have both been here.

"Xiao Shui, do you have anything to say to us?"

Yuan Cheng saw that a group of people were talking and laughing and turned a corner. He could only hear their voices but not see them, so he asked Ye Tianshui cautiously.

Guogan sat down on the stone pillar next to Ye Tianshui, looking quite confident, and asked,

"Do you really want to say something? There's no one here right now, so just tell me what you want.

You know, Yuan Cheng and I are willing to go through fire and water for you."

Yuan Cheng glared at him and cursed in his heart: You frivolous guy, who wants you to go through fire and water for him!

Ye Tianshui couldn't help but chuckled: "I have said everything that needs to be said about official matters. There is nothing shameful to say about private matters."

He collected his thoughts for a moment, and looked towards the direction of the small town that was beginning to prosper, and asked seriously:

"That town is planning to build a small commodity wholesale market. You should all know about it, right?"

Speaking of which, Chang Town is at the junction of Pingcheng and Sucheng. The land and villages in the surrounding areas of the town are complex, and the land of the two cities is entangled.

However, Changzhen is indeed under the jurisdiction of Sucheng.

"Yes, I have seen the plan. I remembered the commercial street you planned for Director He and gave some suggestions."

Yuan Cheng agreed without hesitation, his eyes flashing with doubt: "This plan has just been made a key business plan of the municipal government. It has been discussed many times from the time it was proposed to the time it is ready for implementation.

We are just planning to build two commercial streets in a small area, which can be regarded as a test of the market.

How did you know that?

Ye Tianshui calculated the time carefully. The wholesale market in Changzhen is also a product of the transformation from a planned economy to a market economy.

The person who originally proposed this suggestion was just a commune secretary in Changzhen.

He believes that there are many small clothing factories and other small commodity manufacturers in the local area, but some of the products they produce are often piled up in warehouses.

As the market economy was gradually promoted and accepted by the market, he advocated the establishment of a free trade commercial street of "self-production and self-sales" in Changzhen.

The secretary of the commune made this suggestion because a street market has gradually formed in the town and its influence is gradually spreading.

He just took advantage of the situation, added fuel to the fire and went with the flow.

In Ye Tianshui's eyes, the person who first proposed this plan is a cadre with keen vision and courage.

However, in this turbulent historical era, many of the government's actions are simply standardized management step by step under the guidance of the market economy.

This 'street market' has been in existence for nearly two years.

Just like there is a red plum market in Pingcheng, which has also been quietly formed in the past few years.

It's just in a small alley in Pingcheng.

There is a pattern in the formation of these markets. Most of them started with some "vagrants" secretly setting up stalls and doing some small businesses to make a living.

At this time, "self-employed people" are still looked down upon by society, but the situation is much better than in previous years.

At least they can set up stalls and do business openly without being forced to hide and sneak around.

Thinking of this, Ye Tianshui smiled and reminded him seriously:

"Listen to my advice, when the mall starts recruiting investors, go buy a few shops for yourselves.

It doesn’t matter if no one in the family runs a business, just leave it there and collect rent later.”

Ye Tianshui knows some inside information about the wholesale market in Chang Town. At the beginning, the price of a room (with an area ranging from 15 to 50 square meters) was only a few thousand yuan to more than one yuan, but no one was interested.

Because many people are used to the "road business" model.

The stall fee is just a symbolic few dollars a month.

It’s such a pain to let them spend thousands of dollars to buy a shop.

How much money can you earn by working hard in the wind and rain all year round?

Most people are reluctant to spend this money at the beginning!

There are two words in life that many people cannot fully understand: "give up" and "get".

Because many people understand that it is not true that 'if you give, you will gain'.

Yuan Cheng and Guo Kang's eyes suddenly widened. It was not for any other reason but that they listened to Ye Tianshui and bought a shop in Xidan. Now the annual rent of the shop is steadily around 30,000 yuan.

"Xiao Shui, Xiao Shui, do you think this commercial street can also be established?"

Guo Kang grabbed Ye Tianshui's hand and asked anxiously.

Ye Tianshui shook off his sweaty hand in disgust, thinking that he had become 'mature', but it turned out that he was still the same impulsive and noisy person at heart.

Yuan Cheng looked at him with a smile and asked, "Xiao Shui, I participated in part of the planning of this commercial street. To be honest, many people inside are not optimistic about it.

So, I didn’t think about buying it.

Moreover, the government has made two preparations in its planning: if you don’t dare to buy, you can rent first.

Anyway, the land belongs to the government, so there is zero cost.

We built the house in a way that saved money, and it’s a little better than a shed.”

“Buy with confidence, pick a few small ones that are easier to rent out in the beginning, and buy a few larger ones as well.

Let the family members buy separately, don't make a big fuss about it, and don't persuade people around you. If you are really close to them, you can give them some advice in your own way."

Ye Tianshui did not hide anything and gave his suggestions directly.
