Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

About half an hour later, Mr. Bai Weiguo brought the money back in a travel bag.

Then he called Lin Zhengjun and Lin Hongmei to the dormitory and closed the door.

"Two thousand yuan of liquid funds left in the account is enough! The rest is all here!"

Bai Weiguo said happily: "The total is 30,000, we will divide it equally among the three of us!"

"Okay!" Lin Zhengjun was also quite happy when he saw the thick pile of banknotes.

He was not deeply involved in the Lao Gan Die Restaurant. He only participated in the preliminary preparations and instructed the elder sister how to make braised pork. The rest was just collecting money!

But I didn’t expect the profit to be so good. In less than two months, the profit has reached 10,000 yuan!

Bai Weiguo first asked Lin Zhengjun to look at the accounts, and Lin Zhengjun checked that there was no problem.

Everyone counted the money and divided it up.

If Lin Zhengjun was happy, then Lin Hongmei's mood could be described as ecstatic.

Lin Hongmei put bundles of banknotes into her cloth bag and said with a smile, "This heavy money is in my hand, but it still feels unreal."

"That's more than 10,000 yuan! I originally thought that I could never make that much money in my entire life!"

Lin Zhengjun said with a smile: "This is only the first ten thousand yuan, it's nothing, you will earn more ten thousand yuan in the future, the second, third, or even a hundred!"

"One hundred, then you'd really be a capitalist." Lin Hongmei shook her head vigorously and said, "The country would definitely not allow that."

Lin Zhengjun laughed secretly in his heart, this is the limitation of the times.

People today have been bound for too long and are too rigid to imagine how grand and broad the vision of reform and opening up is!

How rapidly productivity develops and how quickly personal wealth grows.

One million is just the assets of a well-off family in later generations, not even middle class!

Just like now, owning a bicycle is a luxury and needs to be supplied with a ticket. If you tell him that he can buy a car in the future if he has money, he will not need a permit. Now, let alone buying a car, even buying a motorcycle requires a permit from the Planning Bureau. It is not enough to just have money!

Bai Weiguo laughed and said, "Hahaha, you know what? We have snatched away a lot of customers from the state-owned restaurants on North Street. Our restaurant is cheap, affordable, clean and delicious, and the staff speaks nicely. Hey! What can they compare with?"

Lin Zhengjun said with a smile: "You opened the restaurant in order to squeeze out the North Street Workers and Peasants Restaurant. You must feel a sense of accomplishment now!"

"In the short term, the bank will not collapse due to a run. Even if they lose money, the Commerce Bureau should allocate subsidies to them!"

Bai Weiguo sneered and said, "I heard that this year's Spring Festival benefits at their hotel are even better than before!"

"Manager Hu is not panicking at all. He is enjoying himself by humming songs and drinking wine every day. What does it matter if he makes a loss? He is supported by the government anyway!"

"Then let's keep working on it! It's only a matter of time!"

"Grandpa, I won't stay any longer. I'm going to go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to see Hao Jianguo!"

After chatting with Mr. Bai for a while, Lin Zhengjun looked at his watch and wanted to leave.

"Okay!" Bai Weiguo nodded.

As soon as Lin Zhengjun walked out of the dormitory, he saw Hao Jianguo tying up his bicycle at the door, and then he lifted the door curtain and walked in.

"Ha! Brother Jianguo, I was just about to look for you!" Lin Zhengjun couldn't help but laugh.

Hao Jianguo said with surprise: "Wow! Talented man, I didn't expect to see you here!"

The two shook hands and exchanged greetings. Lin Zhengjun said with a smile, "It's not even time for dinner yet. What are you doing here? You're getting hungry so quickly!"

Hao Jianguo smiled and said, "I know the restaurant is open today, so I came to see if there is anything you need!"

Lin Hongmei smiled and said, "Director Hao is particularly concerned about our hotel. He comes to visit every now and then. Before the New Year, we had too many guests, so we had to build a shed, get plastic sheets and canvas, and also tables, chairs and benches. Director Hao helped us get the approval!"

Bai Weiguo also admired it and said with a smile: "Jianguo has been a great help!"

"Mr. Bai, it's all my duty. I'm serving the people and promoting the moderate development of individual private economy!" Hao Jianguo said with a smile.

After a few pleasantries, Lin Zhengjun invited Hao Jianguo into a private room, where they drank tea and chatted.

Hao Jianguo sighed and said, "Zhengjun, I'm a little confused. After thinking about it, I can only ask you to help me make a decision."

"What's the matter?" Lin Zhengjun asked.

"It's about my career!"

"What exactly happened? Can you please tell me all at once?"

Hao Jianguo rubbed his worried face and said, "The Organization Department of the County Party Committee wanted to talk to me and wanted to transfer me to the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau as deputy director."

"What do you think?"

"I'm confused."

Hao Jianguo said: "At present, the supply and marketing cooperative is a powerful unit. To be honest, it is comparable to a small planning bureau!"

"When supplies are in short supply, even a buyer, let alone a deputy director of a county supply and marketing cooperative, is very popular!"

"For example, when buyers go to the countryside to buy handicrafts, many communes with bamboo have set up bamboo product cooperatives. Bamboo baskets and other products have no technical content, so it doesn't matter who buys them!"

"Haha, the benefits for buyers are huge! The hidden income is two to three times the actual salary!"

Lin Zhengjun looked at Hao Jianguo and said, "Isn't your secret income four or five times? Ten times?"

Hao Jianguo laughed and scolded: "This joke is not funny. I am still young and have ambitions. There is no need to sacrifice myself for such a small profit!"

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "I know you are a person with ideals and ambitions. Continue your analysis!"

Hao Jianguo said: "In the early days, the Industrial and Commercial Administration was a subordinate functional department of the Planning Commission. It played an important role in completing the socialist transformation of private industry and commerce and public-private partnerships!"

"But after this process is completed, there is nothing serious to do!"

"All over the country, there are state-owned factories, state-owned restaurants, and state-owned stores. They are also collectively owned. The Industrial and Commercial Bureau has nothing to do except issuing business licenses and cracking down on speculation!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Zhengjun and said, "Zhengjun, what do you think?"

Lin Zhengjun said: "The level is the same, so if they are transferred side by side, we should consider the future of the two units instead of just the current situation."

"Yes, Zhengjun, you are absolutely right!" Hao Jianguo nodded, his eyes slightly bright, as if he understood something.

Lin Zhengjun said: "If you ask me, the good days of the supply and marketing cooperatives won't last long!"

"Why?"

"We are just chatting among ourselves, don't tell anyone!" Lin Zhengjun lowered his voice.

"Yes, yes, yes! Tell me, tell me in detail!"

Hao Jianguo checked the door, came back and sat down, excitedly lit a cigarette, and talked privately with the underground party in a mysterious manner.

Lin Zhengjun said: "The direction of reform and opening up is marketization, and first of all, it is the marketization of commodity circulation!"

"For example, individual restaurants are allowed to open, and rural markets are also allowed to sell agricultural and sideline products and handicrafts!"

"Yes! The little lotus has just shown its tips, but it is a clear signal!" A thoughtful look appeared on Hao Jianguo's face!
