Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Everyone was shocked by the news revealed by Chen Yumei. No one dared to believe it, but the facts were right in front of them.

Now, except for some people in Siheyuan, few people know that Zeng Wangcai opened China Resources.

So they don’t understand, how can a state-owned store become private?

And what the hell is contracting?

In fact, even Yi Zhonghai, who knows China Resources, cannot understand it.

Starting a business as an individual and directly taking over a state-owned enterprise are two different things.

A thought flashed through Yi Zhonghai's mind: The world is about to change.

"Sister Chen, you are kidding, right?" a neighbor said in disbelief. "I saw Xiao Song still inside. How did this become your store?"

"I didn't say the store belongs to us, let's get this clear." Chen Yumei said loudly, "I said it was contracted. The store belongs to our family, but it also belongs to the state."

cut!

Yi Zhonghai's brows suddenly relaxed, and the thought that the world was going to change disappeared in an instant.

To be honest, he was really worried that Zeng Wangcai would become a trendsetters, and if that happened, Sha Zhu would not be able to control himself.

Although everyone was confused about what contracting was, their jealousy was relieved when they heard that the store was owned by the state. They started asking when the store would open, saying that it would be inconvenient for their neighbors to buy things.

Chen Yumei then said that when the notice is posted it will not delay everyone’s New Year celebrations or anything.

Without getting any concrete news, Yi Zhonghai walked home in silence. In the front yard, he met Yan Bugui who was about to go watch the fun. He asked Yan Bugui to go and call for help.

After a while, a meeting was held at Sha Zhu's house in the Central Court.

Now Yi Zhonghai holds all his meetings at Sha Zhu's house to brainwash him.

"What does this mean? The Beixinqiao store has become the property of the Zeng family?" Yan Bugui was very shocked when he heard the news.

Qin Jingru, who was eating melon seeds beside her, suddenly stopped.

In fact, the Qin sisters had no personal feelings about Zeng Wangcai's opening of China Resources. Apart from the house, they did not get any benefits.

Qin Huairu has a job and receives financial support, so she doesn't have to worry about anything else.

Qin Jingru now wants to go back to work in the garment factory, and her position is still there, so the two of them lean towards one side from the bottom of their hearts. Qin Huairu leans towards Yi Zhonghai, while Qin Jingru leans towards Zeng Wangcai's family.

But they were both shocked by the news of the contract, because the store was real and could be seen and touched.

"Like this..." Qin Jingru said suddenly, "they don't have to spend money to buy things?"

"Is this about money?" Yan Bugui said unhappily, "You don't understand, stop butting in."

"Virtue!" Qin Jingru didn't tolerate Yan Bugui and rolled her eyes. "You talk like you know everything. You call everyone over to ask for money. Let's see if they will pay attention to you or not!"

Qin Jingru disagreed with asking Zeng Wangcai for money. Although she hated Zeng Wangcai, life was important and she was looking forward to going back to work in the garment factory.

However, one thousand yuan is not a small amount after all, so Qin Jingru remained silent because of this thought.

"That's what I'm talking about. If you don't understand, don't get involved." Yan Bugui ignored Qin Jingru and turned to say, "Old Yi, please help us with some advice. Zeng Wangcai said at the time that if he didn't pay, the yard wouldn't be renovated. I don't think that's right because it was decided by the district and he couldn't not do it. Now he left this one alone and suddenly did this. Is there a conspiracy?"

Yi Zhonghai participated in this matter throughout and was one of the masterminds behind the scenes. He must be concerned about the progress.

He pondered for a while and said, "I also find it strange. At that time, I felt that he had other purposes. I advise everyone not to agree easily. Think about it, how can there be such a stupid person who builds a house for you for free... Sha Zhu, you must not be fooled." After pointing at Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai continued, "You said it's strange, isn't he doing big business in Jiangdao? Why did he suddenly come back to do this?"

"Hey, you don't know, uncle." Sha Zhu said heartlessly, "Wangcai's first business in Jiangdao was a grocery store, and that business was booming..."

"Really?" Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes, "It seems that he has a background in opening a shop. According to the model you described, he can get along with all the neighbors. This is not good.

"Old Yan, I think he's here for the purpose of transformation. Although I don't understand how he will do it, this is probably the case."

As expected of a sinister old fox, his guess was spot on.

Yan Bugui thought for a moment and said, "We can't let him do this. We can't let him open this store smoothly. If we do this, everyone will remember that no one is allowed to go to the store to buy things. Moreover, we have to tell everyone we know... In short, we can't let his store have any business. Without business, it will naturally fail to operate."

Take action and spread rumors!

It costs nothing to spread rumors, but it is cheap to discredit someone.

Beixinqiao Store, oh no, it should be called Beixinqiao Grocery Store now.

The wooden shelves and goods were finally delivered on New Year's Eve, and Xiaobao and his transporters helped to move them into the warehouse.

Liu Qunying watched in confusion as goods she had never seen before were stacked into the warehouse. The equally confused accountant next to her was recording the accounts word by word.

Not to mention the accounting, the key point is that he can't even write the names of some goods, such as the liquor called vodka.

What kind of wine is this? Why does it have such a weird name?

"Hey, Sister Liu..." Zeng Wangcai called out at the door of the warehouse, "Come out for a moment and help post the notice. We will open on the morning of the first day of the new year as scheduled and put some of the goods out for sale."

"Wang... Wangcai..." Liu Qunying came out, her eyes a little distracted, "Are these the goods that our store wants to sell? I haven't seen them before..."

"Sister Liu, what are you talking about? If you don't want to sell it, why are you pulling it over?"

"No, that's not what I meant. You really don't want a ticket? How about I add this to the notice?"

"No need to add more. Good wine needs no bush. We'll know tomorrow."

"Hey, hey, hey, can I notify our family to buy some?"

"Sure, it doesn't matter who you sell it to."

Liu Qunying was excited. She knew that as soon as the store opened, the goods in the warehouse would be sold out once the news spread.

No tickets are required for wine, cigarettes, or sugar. The price is just a little bit more expensive. What’s the difference between this and giving it away for free?

Besides, these are all foreign products, so isn’t it normal that the prices are a bit higher?

Liu Qunying excitedly went out to post the notice, and after coming back she kept silent and did not complain about working overtime.

This kind of overtime is not called overtime, it's called taking advantage.

After the notice was posted, it did not cause much response. Until the shop was restored in the evening, only a few neighbors passed by and asked about it.

Every household is preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner, but the shop is still bustling.

Zeng Wangcai gathered everyone together and decided on the final and most critical matter before leaving get off work.

"Here, let's have a meeting. Let's ask Manager Chen to say a few words about wages and work ethics. Please welcome him with applause..."

Chen Yumei felt a little embarrassed to be a manager in earnest. She held a red work manual and prepared to speak.

"First, let's talk about the salary that we care about most..."
