Back to the Northeast 1970

With the addition of the ballroom business, the careers of Yan Baoshu and Wan Sixing also began to expand.Yan Baoshu's ambition seems to have profoundly affected Wan Sixing. Compared with the past dawdling, Wan Sixing has already started to devote his mind to his career. He is always thinking about how to make more money.It is worth mentioning that Wan Sixing is a partner worthy of cooperation and trust, at least considering the aspect that Wan Sixing was interested in him, he would not be able to harm himself.

With the income from the dance hall project, Yan Baoshu and Wan Shining quickly paid back their investment. Besides, they also got a considerable amount of income. These are all pure profits. After all, there are no housing rents and staff salaries. , So after having this sum of money, Yan Baoshu started a new plan. He started to take Wan Sining to the streets and the industrial and commercial bureaus.The emergence of self-employment also began at about this time, and large and small collectives will gradually fade out of people's vision. Even so, it is very difficult for Yan Baoshu to obtain a business license for an individual store. After all, the "individual economy" is still fledgling. , Yan Baoshu had to go to the Lu family.

Lu Jianjun was no longer in Northeast China at this time. He and Lu Xiangbei went to Beijing. Fortunately, Lu Xiangbei did not move his family away. He still has three older brothers here. Lu Xiangdong is the eldest son of the Lu family and has worked in factories and mines for many years. , so he has a wide network of people. When Yan Baoshu asked him, Lu Xiangdong did not hesitate at all. This may have something to do with Lu Jianjun's confession. Lu Xiangdong began to turn around Yan Baoshu's affairs, and finally got a piece of Self-employed business license, in addition, Lu Xiangdong even helped Yan Baoshu find a very good location for running a clothing store on Xiangyang Road in the east of the railway. It is only a few meters away from the street. It can be regarded as a front shop.

Yan Baoshu couldn't express his gratitude to Lu Xiangdong in words. After he did him two big favors, Yan Baoshu invited him to a restaurant with Wan Sining, and promised to give some clothes to Lu Xiangdong's wife when the store opened. , all due thanks.Lu Xiangdong didn't refuse, and agreed with a smile.

The location of the store is selected, and there is no need to pay attention to decoration at this time, as long as it is clean and tidy.After Yan Baoshu, Wan Sining and Jing'er spent three days cleaning the house, they locked the door and the family began to prepare for the opening of the new store.The supply of goods is necessary for the opening of a clothing store. Yan Baoshu’s idea is to earn a sum of money to pay for a year or two, and then make a big investment. Therefore, Yan Baoshu specially sent Wan Sining to Shenzhen with Jing’er. One is to let him find Feng Haitang and ask Tang Laosan for the entrance of clothing sources, and the other is to let Jinger increase her knowledge.

This time, Wan Sixing went to Shenzhen for a long time, staying for more than half a month. When he came back, Wan Sixing took Jinger and pulled four big cardboard boxes, which were full of clothing.These clothes are not cheap, even with Tang Laosan's help, Yan Baoshu still spent a lot of money.

It is impossible for four boxes of clothes to support a clothing store. Yan Baoshu must mix his own products in these clothes. Therefore, after getting the clothes, Yan Baoshu took Wan Sining to Harbin again, because The national economy as a whole has improved, and trade with Russia has also been greatly strengthened. However, Harbin has an absolute geographical advantage, and many sources of goods have flowed here from Moscow. In Harbin, Yan Baoshu found the purchase with the help of Yelena. The channels for clothing cloth are therefore also addressed.

"Baoshu, these fabrics cost a lot of money, right?" Miss Wang looked at Zhenliang with a few dollars in her hand, "This feels really good."

Yan Baoshu smiled, but just as she was about to respond, she suddenly found that Ms. Wang was a little fatter, not only her face, but also her waist was much thicker than before, "Sister-in-law, are you fat?"

Miss Wang pursed her lips and snickered, secretly looking at Yan Baofu who was eating.

Yan Baoshu was a little curious, turned his head to look at Yan Baofu, "Brother, why is my sister-in-law getting fat? Could it be..." Yan Baoshu's thoughts turned quickly, "Ah, could it be my sister-in-law who has it?"

Yan Baofu grinned, "Why do you know everything, kid?"

Yan Baoshu was very happy, "Really, why didn't you tell me when it happened?"

"It's only been a few months. Besides, you and Si Ning are very busy all day long, and your sister-in-law and I didn't tell you." Yan Baofu put down his chopsticks and was about to pick up a cigarette when Yan Baoshu told him immediately. Stopped him, "Brother, from today onwards, my sister-in-law is the key protection target. Smoking is not allowed at home. This is not good for the child in my sister-in-law's stomach."

Yan Baofu was startled, "True or not?"

"Second-hand smoke is very harmful, and I can still lie to you." Yan Baofu came to Miss Wang and coughed solemnly. Is it gone?"

The family has long followed Yan Baoshu's lead, and now his words have become the family's imperial decree, "Got it."

Yan Baoshu turned his head with a smile, looked at Miss Wang and said, "Sister-in-law, from today onwards, stop doing those tiring jobs. When my little nephew is born, I, the uncle, will have to give him a big gift."

"Whatever is impolite is what the whole family says."

With Ms. Wang's happy event, and Yan Baoshu's business has also taken shape, the family is really happy. Not only is their life better, but they are also more energetic than before.From this day onwards, Miss Wang became an important person in the family, she was not even allowed to touch cold water, and she stretched out her hands for food and opened her mouth, all served by two little maids.Until one day, Yan Baofu found Yan Baoshu, and the two brothers finally found a chance to chat, "Baoshu, I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Tell me." Yan Baoshu put down the blueprint in his hand, sat upright and said, "What's wrong?"

Yan Baofu sighed, "My sister, I've been thinking about my sister recently, you said my sister is almost thirty, if she doesn't marry again, she will become an old girl... No, now Some people say our sister is an old lady." When Yan Baofu thought of someone in the factory and mine who was behind Yan Yufen's back, his teeth itch with hatred.

Yan Baoshu understood, and said with displeasure: "Brother, is someone gossiping about our sister?"

"It's not good, it's so ugly." Yan Baofu waved his hand, "What do you think it's all about, do you want to ask someone to introduce someone to our sister?"

"No need." Yan Baoshu refused: "My sister has her own ideas. If she wants to marry, she can do it on her terms. If she can't find a better one, it's definitely more than enough to find a mediocre one, but she hasn't mentioned it all these years. Firstly, she may not have forgotten what happened to Gao Baichuan back then, and secondly, she also has her own ideas."

"What ideas does she have? Could it be that she is not married because of a beast?"

Yan Baoshu shook his head, "What I mean is that we should respect our sister's ideas. If she doesn't want to marry, no one can make her unhappy. As long as our sister is happy, we as younger brothers should bless us and live a lifetime. It's not about living for someone or something, but for yourself, our parents are gone, and our sister doesn't have to wait, so the future choice depends on her own choice."

"Do you really think so?"

"Well, that's what I think. What's more, I plan to let my sister resign, and she will take care of the clothing store."

"Resign? No, no, no, that's an iron rice bowl, and people who eat public food. If you leave the art troupe, I won't agree to it one hundred times. In the end, you cut it first and then played it. My sister, I don't agree with this."

Yan Baoshu smiled and said: "Brother, I understand your thoughts, but I hope our sister can become a new generation of women, self-improvement and independent, isn't it more exciting."

"I do not understand."

"You don't need to understand, just don't object to my decision when the time comes."

Yan Baofu was still a little unhappy in his intentions, but when he thought about what Yan Baoshu had done over the years, he had done things with reason and evidence, and the profits were all there, so the person who refused was no longer able to say it.In the next period of time, Yan Baoshu pondered the appearance of the clothing from Shanghai and Shenzhen. After drawing the blueprints, he handed over to Yan Yufen and Jinger to be in charge. Although they were busy all day, the finished products came out very quickly. At least, it takes a few days to complete one piece, so even if it takes a month or two, it may not be able to wait for the opening of the clothing store. There is no way, Yan Baoshu can only hold an important meeting with his family, and finally come to a conclusion That is, I found women who can make clothes from the neighborhood, and the salary was 60 yuan per person per month. So, for this price, many women rushed over. In the interview with Yan Baoshu, ten people finally passed. Screened to become a qualified worker.

As for blueprints and the like, Yan Baoshu is not afraid of them learning, but he still has to make it clear, that is, they are not allowed to make their own, and they will be fired once they find out.In fact, this clause does not have any effect, and Yan Baoshu's words are just a verbal warning, and it is all based on self-consciousness.

With the help of these people, the speed of clothing production has been greatly improved. Soon, half a month later, the clothing store officially opened, and the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums is indispensable. In addition, Yan Baoshu also invited Captain Li and his wife arrived, as well as Lu Xiangbei's three older brothers, plus the head of the team, Tong Jianhua.

The shop just opened, and it attracted many older girls. Since the shop also has men's clothing, many young men also came along.Yan Baoshu’s shop is just an ordinary living room, without floor-to-ceiling windows, but after Yan Baoshu’s arrangement, the nine-square-grid window allowed him to change it into a small display cabinet, which contained the toad mirror worn by Lao Mai in the movie, as well as several large pieces. A girl's head flower or something.

After opening, the clothing store attracted customers to fill the room, and Yan Baoshu stood outside chatting with Tong Jianhua and others.Although Tong Jianhua felt sorry for Yan Baoshu, he had to admit that after Yan Baoshu came out of the art troupe, looking at his current life, it was indeed much better than staying in the art troupe.

"Baoshu, why didn't I find out before that you still have such a mind." After Tong Jianhua finished speaking, he smiled at Lu Xiangdong and the others, and everyone nodded in agreement and looked at Yan Baoshu with a smile.

Yan Baoshu smiled and said: "I didn't realize it in the past, maybe it was God who enlightened me."
