Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

Moreover, Zhou Jin effectively controlled costs by optimizing the supply chain and management processes, making the prices of goods more affordable.

In terms of service, Jinan Supermarket has also achieved the ultimate. From enthusiastic shopping guides to convenient shopping environment, from fast checkout service to thoughtful after-sales service, every link makes customers feel meticulous care.

However, due to the limitations of their long-standing business models and management concepts, it is difficult for local supermarkets to make changes in a short period of time.

They could only watch as Jin'an Supermarket continued to expand its market share while their own business became increasingly bleak.

As time goes by, Jin'an Supermarket's influence in Hong Kong is growing.

It has not only become the first choice for people to shop, but also a bright business card for Hong Kong's commerce.

Those local supermarkets that once tried to attack Jin'an Supermarket have to re-examine their business strategies and look for new directions for development.

In this commercial war, Jin'an Supermarket achieved the final victory with Zhou Jin's wisdom and courage, as well as the magical power of the system space.

It is like a shining star, shining with unique light in the business sky of Hong Kong.

At the same time, the sky of Sijiu City seemed to be shrouded in a faint haze.

As the days passed quietly, in June of 61, the monthly ration of meat coupons for residents of the old city was temporarily cancelled.

Looking back at the days since last year, the monthly ration of pork per person has been gradually reduced from 4 taels to 2 taels, but now, the hope of getting that 2 taels of meat has completely disappeared.

During this difficult period, the common people's reaction to the cancellation of the two taels of meat ticket seemed rather indifferent.

Only two taels of meat a month, to be honest, this little amount really becomes dispensable under the pressure of life.

What good would it do to have it? It would just be a drop in the bucket and could not fundamentally change the plight of life.

In this era, it is always better to have money.

Those big restaurants still have high-priced dishes that don’t require a ticket. As long as you have money and are willing to spend it, you can still fill your stomach.

However, for most people, that is just a distant dream.

If you don't have money, you can only endure hardship. As the days go by, hope seems to be getting slimmer and slimmer.

Walking in the streets and alleys of the old city, notices are prominently posted in all the stores.

From now on, buying towels, blankets, wool, handkerchiefs, batteries, axis lines, iron pots, aluminum basins, aluminum lunch boxes, enamel washbasins, enamel cups, enamel chamber pots, thread gloves, iron kettles, bamboo thermoses, sports shoes, umbrellas, cotton-rubber shoes, sewing needles, sewing thread, oilcloth raincoats, laminated raincoats, artificial cotton products, nylon underwear, leather shoes, alarm clocks, radios, belts, knives and scissors, imported blades, all kinds of luggage, chocolate bars, as well as cigarettes, tea, and liquor outside the fixed quantity, all require a certain number of industrial coupons.

For formal employees, at least there are industrial coupons, but what about those with rural household registration?

They didn't even have industrial coupons, so what could they do? They could only look at the goods in the store, feeling helpless and helpless.

Under the heavy pressure of life, their days became more difficult.

According to relevant statistics, the per capita pork consumption of residents in the old city in 1961 was only taels.

Eighty-two and a half taels a year, this figure is still the highest in the country.

One can imagine how dire the situation is in other places. People are struggling with hunger and hardship, and every bite of food seems so precious.

In 1960, our country's population experienced negative growth for the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China, with a decrease of tens of millions throughout the year.

Those were dark days, and people seemed to see no hope for the future.

The situation was slightly better in 1961, but not much better.

The only good news is that food production showed positive growth, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

It was like seeing a ray of light in the darkness, which rekindled people's hope for life.

However, the road of life is still long and difficult. People move forward in difficult situations, hoping that the days ahead will be better and better.

During this special historical period, everyone was struggling for survival, and their stories became the most profound memories of that era.

Zhou Jin sat quietly at the table. The soft light shone on him, but it could not dispel the solemnity between his brows.

His eyes were fixed on the policy document. Every word on the paper seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, pressing on his heart and making him feel mixed emotions.

His thoughts gradually drifted away, like light feathers dancing in the wind.

He imagined, what would the situation be like if he had traveled directly to this strange world?

How can he survive in this noisy and unknown world? Now, the scene outside is getting worse, as if a haze is covering the earth, making people feel depressed and uneasy.

Zhou Jin closed his eyes slightly, and his own planting space emerged in his mind. Now its monthly output is very amazing. However, even so, it is still just a drop in the bucket for the huge Dragon Kingdom.

As for the food and meat in the space, Zhou Jin not only ensured the normal operation of the two Jin'an supermarkets in Xiangjiang, the steel rolling mill in Sijiu City, and the three black markets, but also transported the remaining food directly back to Yangcheng through Xiangjiang.

Moreover, under Zhou Jin's instruction, Long Yi also purchased a lot of food in Hong Kong and shipped it back, more than a thousand tons every month, nearly two thousand tons.

Although Zhou Jin did not feel any obvious changes, after all, these grains were indeed a drop in the bucket compared to the grain consumed by the entire Dragon Kingdom every month.

He looked into the distance, as if he could see the windblown sands of the Gobi Desert in the northwest and the raging waves of the East China Sea. Perhaps, all these grains were used where they should be used most.

Zhou Jin sighed deeply, and the heavy breath seemed to tell the worries and responsibilities in his heart.

He knew that he still had a heavy responsibility and a long way to go.

In this difficult period, every step is so difficult, but he cannot retreat at all.

Even though life is difficult now and the shadow of hunger always looms over people, everyone is still full of hope for the future.

Even though everyone was hungry, there was still a gleam of determination in their eyes, and they were still working hard for national construction.

They shed sweat and use their own hands to change the face of this country bit by bit.

Happy days are twenty-four hours, and hard days are still one thousand four hundred and forty minutes.
