Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

"I've also read the script of Love in Lushan, which is also about love. These days, anything about love is bound to be a hit!"

Tang Xiaofu looked at Lin Zhengjun with admiration and laughed, "It's weird. I've read the script and feel that the movie will be a hit. I even saw the stills and felt that the clothes were beautiful, but I just didn't think of this idea!"

Liu Yin was confused as he listened and couldn't help asking. Lin Zhengjun immediately explained his overall idea.

"You can do it this way!" Liu Yin was shocked.

Her concept was directly refreshed by Lin Zhengjun!

Lin Zhengjun’s network of contacts is so terrifying!

A hit movie is likely to lead to hot sales of clothing, but the buying impulse caused by a hit movie is only temporary.

It won’t always be hot.

So, if you start making clothes just after a movie becomes a hit, it is very likely that by the time your clothes are finished and put on the market, the popularity will have faded.

No one likes to buy it anymore.

Of course you can still make money, but the profit is about the same as other clothing!

But Lin Zhengjun was different, he made advance preparations. This business seemed good, not only was it a steady profit, but it would also be a huge profit!

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I was just about to tell you, can you help me get some fabric?"

Lin Zhengjun knew that many communes and even brigades now had sewing cooperatives.

It is also a kind of collective sideline business. The sewing machines are purchased with collective funds, and there are also skilled workers, so making clothes is not a big problem.

It’s the fabric that matters!

At present, cloth is still supplied with tickets and is relatively scarce.

But there are also opportunities!

As the country delegates power and revitalizes state-owned enterprises, many textile factories can produce some excess cloth and sell it directly to the market on the premise of completing the production tasks of planned orders. They do not have to face state-owned commercial systems such as state-owned shopping malls and supply and marketing cooperatives, but they have to sell at prices set by the government.

Before the reform and opening up, the ownership and management rights of state-owned enterprises belonged to the state; production plans were formulated by the government planning department, and state-owned enterprises were only responsible for implementation; strategic decisions on personnel, finance, production, sales, etc. of state-owned enterprises were all made by the government.

More specifically, on the one hand, the government decides who will be managers of state-owned enterprises and sets separate salary standards for different industries and positions.

On the other hand, state-owned enterprises produce according to the government's predetermined plans without having to consider pricing issues and market demand. Their capital costs are close to zero, and all profits are turned over to the state treasury, while losses are borne by the state.

Under this institutional arrangement, the production enthusiasm of enterprise management and grassroots workers was not high, resulting in long-term low operating efficiency of state-owned enterprises and slow growth of national industrial production before reform and opening up.

After the reform and opening up, four reforms were carried out, namely decentralization and profit sharing, separation of ownership and operating rights, property rights reform, and state-owned assets supervision.

The reform carried out from 1978 to 1984 was the "decentralization and profit sharing" reform, the main method of which was profit retention, that is, expanding the autonomous management rights of state-owned enterprises and allowing them to retain part of the profits.

If annual production targets are met, workers can be given appropriate bonuses, thus allowing state-owned enterprises to engage in production activities outside the state-mandated plan.

In July 1979, the State Council issued five documents, including "Several Provisions on Expanding the Operational and Management Autonomy of State-owned Industrial Enterprises", marking the official implementation of state-owned enterprise reform centered on profit retention and focusing on decentralization and profit sharing across the country.

Liu Yin worked in the county's state-owned bedding factory and had connections with upstream textile factories, so he was expected to be able to get some unplanned fabrics.

Liu Yin hesitated for a moment and said, "I know that some textile factories have started independent production outside of the plan and are directly facing the market, but I still need to implement it carefully!"

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "Then please help me contact them. If you can find the cloth, I will give you a big red envelope later!"

"Giving a red envelope is too polite. We are just real friends."

Liu Yin made a few polite remarks and suddenly said, "Why don't I quit my job and do this business with you? I think we can make a lot of money!"

Everyone: "..."

I am at a loss because of Liu Yin's weird train of thought.

Lin Zhengjun was confused.

In his previous life, He Jian died early in the arrest, and Liu Yin was laid off and had no source of income, so he embarked on the path of business.

Before this, Lin Zhengjun had always been worried that He Jian not only did not sacrifice himself in this life, but might also have risen to a high position. Then Liu Yin would live a comfortable life and would not go into business.

I also lost a powerful business partner.

You can't drag your sister-in-law into the sea!

After all, in this era, self-employed individuals are subject to various forms of discrimination.

But I didn’t expect... it seems that Liu Yin likes business in his bones, and he took the initiative to ask to go into business!

However, Lin Zhengjun did not agree rashly, because this matter depended on He Jian's attitude!

He Jian's face was filled with astonishment. He said, "Liu Yin, did I hear you right? The clothing factory is considered a relatively good unit in the county, and the salary is not low..."

"Forty bucks a month, what's the point?"

Liu Yin curled his lips and said, "Compared to the regular army, they are nothing!"

"There are only a few regular armies in the country. You should be content with what you have. You may not be as good as the best, but better than the worst!" He Jian was speechless.

"There's only one Lin Zhengjun, but he's my brother! I shouldn't seize this opportunity!" Liu Yin looked at Lin Zhengjun excitedly, as if saying "Please take me with you".

Lin Zhengjun said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't look at me! I kidnapped you, He Jian must hate me to death, you two should discuss it first!"

"You are a blockhead!"

Liu Yin poked He Jian's forehead with his finger and said, "Think about it. There are hundreds of thousands of people watching the movie in Huanghuai City alone. If only three or four thousand people want to buy the movie, and I make one dollar per piece of clothing, that's three or four thousand yuan. If I get a few hundred dollars, it's equal to a year's income!"

He Jian scratched his head and said, "It's just that if you resign, you will be considered a self-employed person and a social idler. People will look down on you and point fingers at you..."

"Alas!"

Liu Yin immediately found the loophole in his words, slapped his thigh, and said in surprise: "Zhengjun, look, he is finally exposed. He looks down on you. You run a restaurant, you are also a self-employed person!"

He Jian was so panicked that he waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "Zhengjun, don't listen to her nonsense, I have never looked down on you!"

Lin Zhengjun laughed and said, "Haha, sister-in-law, how about this? Don't resign yet, just take some time to help me do something. If you lose money and this way doesn't work, you can go back to work. If you think it's feasible, it's not too late for you to resign!"

He Jian nodded and said, "Yes, yes, this is safer!"

Liu Yin glared at He Jian with puffed lips, but finally agreed and said dissatisfiedly: "Humph, you are holding me back! You are a police officer, catching criminals every day, it's so dangerous, and I didn't stop you!"

He Jian laughed and said, "The main reason is that the child is still young. If you devote yourself to making clothes, how can you have time to take care of the child?"

Then, Liu Yin said excitedly: "How about we pick out some nice clothes!"

Lin Zhengjun said: "Okay, sister-in-law, you and Xiaofu pick out five pieces first, then you two try them on, and then everyone else picks a few more..."

Lin Zhengjun planned to choose two or three sets of clothes to make.

Because if there are too many styles, the fabrics may not be connected, and there will be no scale effect.
