That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Jin Peng didn't sleep well all night. He memorized all the problems Li Ye explained and how to deal with them countless times. He was afraid that he would not be able to react to an unexpected situation during the meeting the next day.

But as soon as he arrived at the Xiushui Street meeting place the next day, he encountered a problem that Li Ye had never explained.

A group of individual merchants blocked the door to the venue.

Jin Peng knew many of these people.

Pengcheng No. 7 Factory was established in Silk Street, and now it offers discounts and promotions from time to time, and the surrounding vendors who sell needles, threads, and repair shoes and bake sweet potatoes also follow them to take a sip of soup.

Seeing Jin Peng coming over, the old man Wang who was selling roasted sweet potatoes quickly greeted him warmly, and even took a newspaper and wrapped a piece of sweet potato for Jin Peng.

Manager Jin, are you here to ask for an explanation? Or do you want to go in for a meeting?

Jin Peng took the sweet potato and took a bite. While laughing at the heat, he smiled and asked, Then what do you think I'm here for?

Hey, you see there's something wrong with what I'm asking, Old Man Wang said with a smile: Manager Jin, you are from a regular unit, you must have been invited to the meeting, you are not the same as us who have no father or mother. It’s something.”

What does it mean to have no father and no mother! Jin Peng was also amused and said: I remember that you have a registered residence in the capital, and the street is your natal family. After all, I am a foreigner with no roots, okay!

Manager Jin is joking, joking.

Old Man Wang waved his hands and said: It's true that I have a registered residence in the capital, but who takes me seriously in the street! You must have a seat no matter what you go in!

That's different too. If I have a son in the future, I won't be able to get him to go to school in the capital. But your grandson, Mr. Wang, will have a quota when he is born, right?

That's all the benefits, Old Man Wang felt a little more comfortable, and a sincere smile finally appeared on his old face.

Jin Peng finished the roasted sweet potato in two bites and asked in a low voice: Old Wangtou, what are you doing here?

We are acquaintances, so I advise you not to be stupid. I heard that there are people coming from the district today! Don't give the street eye drops at this juncture, you know you can't twist your thighs with your arms?

How dare we use eye drops! Old Man Wang was startled and said, We just heard that Xiushui Street is going to be renovated, so where will we set up stalls in the future?

Although you can't earn three melons and two dates every day, if your family has less income, life will be more difficult, right?

Old Man Wang pursed his lips to the west and whispered: Actually, we are just here to hear the news. At worst, I will set up a stall somewhere else in the future, but those people over there are really anxious!

Jin Peng looked to the west and found that most of them were vendors selling department stores on Xiushui Street.

They are not like Old Man Wang, who only earns three melons and two dates every day. Taking advantage of the spring breeze of the times, they all quietly made a small fortune, and some of them have a net worth of over ten thousand.

These people all knew Jin Peng, a foreigner who had fallen on bad luck, but they all looked unkind after meeting Jin Peng's eyes.

They originally bought the goods from Boss Hou and spent time together on Xiushui Street. However, Jin Peng, a foreigner, did not follow the rules when he came and stole a lot of business from everyone with a discount sale.

Boss Hou, who comes from the south, has a lot of money and brags all day long, but in an instant he gets scared and turns to differentiated management.

Pengcheng No. 7 Factory mainly sells clothing, shoes and hats, while Boss Hou and his gang sell electronic department stores. At least on the surface, everyone is on the same page.

But as a result, those vendors who originally made money from clothing have seen their monthly profits shrink by a large amount, and they also dislike Pengcheng Factory No. 7.

But so what?

And Mr. Duo, who speaks out for justice for everyone, is in trouble. Now he doesn't know where he is eating free royal food.

Heng San, who was well-known on the road, was even worse. More than 20 people were beaten to a pulp by people from Pengcheng No. 7 Factory. As a result, they were all still lying in the hospital, so they collectively gave them a pair of silver bracelets.

Isn't this clear enough?

Pengcheng No. 7 Factory is not an outsider, but a dragon that has crossed the river.

I've been told that you guys are colluding with each other to dominate the Xiushui Street business! You're going to cut off my livelihood.

Old Man Wang said in a low voice: I heard from the big boss in the back street that the big boss from the south also wanted to participate in some negotiation meeting today, but was rejected, so these guys are following the big boss to make a living. , everyone is here to petition!”

Petition? They deserve it too!

Have they paid taxes? It doesn't matter if small businessmen and hawkers don't make much money, but Boss Hou makes a lot of money. He keeps all the money in his own pocket. Why should he be treated the same as us?

Jin Peng smiled disdainfully, wiped the sweet potato powder from his mouth, and walked to the meeting at the street office with his head held high.

Even though there was a crowd squatting outside the venue today, there were two uncles with hats guarding the door, and no one had the guts to come over and yell.

Jin Peng arrived and took out the notice of invitation to the meeting before being let in.

In just such a moment, Jin Peng's sense of superiority rose up in his heart.

People like Pengcheng No. 7 Factory and Boss Hou are essentially engaged in a business, which is buying and selling, or more seriously, speculation.

But now he, Manager Jin Peng and Jin, can come in openly for meetings, but the tycoon Boss Hou can only squat outside and stare helplessly.

That's the difference.

At the beginning, Jin Peng didn't understand Li Ye's requirement to pay taxes according to regulations. Why should he share the hard-earned money with others!

Even when we arrived in the capital, when the tax system came to collect taxes, we were surprised by the correct attitude of Pengcheng Factory No. 7.

But now it seems that those taxes were really not paid in vain.

Li Ye once said something to Jin Peng - big taxpayers can live openly in the sun, but wealthy tax evaders can only hide in the cold darkness.

. . . . . .

But Jin Peng's sense of superiority only lasted a few minutes.

When he entered the venue, he was placed in a corner, and the people in front of him were all famous people.

Pengcheng No. 7 Factory is really an inconspicuous little shrimp in this environment.

In order to regulate the chaos in Xiushui Street and create a better business environment, we plan to raise funds to renovate this block.

We are all experts in commercial retail, and we should be able to see the bright future of Xiushui Street in the future, so don’t be so reserved!

After the meeting started, the person in charge of presiding over said some formulaic words, and then hoped that everyone would donate generously to help the commercial renovation of Xiushui Street.

But everyone present at the meeting frowned and remained silent.

Because everyone learned from the plan in their hands that the renovation of Silk Street was much bolder than expected.

Originally, everyone thought that it would be just a matter of renovating the streets, setting up a few rows of open-air stalls, and guiding 1200 small traders to settle in.

Everyone invests a few small sums of money to arrange flexible employment for some needy households and related households in their own units. The stall fees are better than nothing and have no impact on themselves.

But now it seems that this renovation plan is really not small. It not only has open-air stalls, but also has to build a comprehensive commercial store several stories high. The amount of money that needs to be raised is not a small amount.

What they don't know is that according to the original history, Xiushui Street in 1985 was a simplified version consisting of two to three hundred open-air stalls, and the management's attitude was almost free range.

But Li Ye just chatted with Wen Guohua for a while, but he raised the scale to several levels, and even boldly tried to raise funds that he had tried only after many years.

This step is indeed too big.

Jin Peng looked over the shoulders of the participants at the podium in front and found Wen Guohua of the transformation team.

Wen Guohua was just a clerk, but looking at where he was sitting, Jin Peng, who had been hanging out in the capital for a long time, could naturally appreciate the subtleties.

But when Jin Peng saw the tax department representative, the other person smiled slightly and winked at him.

He shuddered violently.

Although Jin Peng always lags behind Li Ye, that is mainly due to a problem of vision. In fact, Jin Peng is a very smart person, otherwise he would not be running a large business and being like a fish in water in the capital.

Now the other person's look made him figure out a lot of things.

Why did they invite Pengcheng No. 7 Factory, an outsider? And why did you send someone to get a loan from the bank?

This means that he, Jin Peng, should be the spearman. Oh no, take the lead!

If you don't come to the capital, you don't know how small your own official position is. Any commercial unit can recruit several bureau-level cadres.

Even if the sub-district office in the capital is one level higher than those in other cities, in the capital it is hard to control people. If things go wrong, it will not look good on face.

In particular, the commercial renovation of Xiushui Street is beneficial to individual businesses.

There were many people from large shopping malls who participated in the meeting. They must have money, but they themselves reject this business model that tends to be self-employed.

According to their opinion, all self-employed businesses should be banned, and all customers should go to their own shopping malls and buildings to buy things.

So in a unit like Pengcheng No. 7 Factory that has a strong self-employment style, doesn't he show it?

In other words, people have seen through that you are a self-employed person?

[Ono didn’t tell me about this, I’m going to give everyone eye drops! 】

Jin Peng was a little uneasy for a while. A few days ago, he had just reached an agreement with Xicheng Department Store about settling in and operating, and he had also established connections with several other commercial organizations. The situation was peaceful.

Isn’t it a bit too arrogant to jump out and give everyone a “look” now?

Sure enough, when the people above saw that no one was talking, they directly ordered Jin Peng's general.

Everyone, don't be restrained! We are just a negotiation meeting, not kidnapping, so it's okay to give a suggestion without paying!

That young man at the end, I see you have been holding back your words for a long time. Please tell us a few words!

Where did you see me holding back my words?

Jin Peng put on a smiling expression and said modestly: Our Pengcheng No. 7 Factory is small and not very familiar with the situation in the capital. We really don't have any suggestions.

Don't be nervous. Say what you have to say. You have been very prosperous in the capital recently! The monks from outside can chant sutras. Let's talk about it and we can learn from each other's strengths.

In this case, Jin Peng had no choice but to follow Li Ye's script.

Then let me make a statement! Jin Peng said with a humble smile: We will pay a deposit first. After the street makes overall arrangements according to the situation, it will be enough to give us a small share. If the money is not enough, we can get a loan.

This attitude is quite low.

Colleagues around him thought that Jin Peng was sensible and knew that he would be last in line to drink soup.

Hahaha, young people are so straightforward! This is a practical attitude. No wonder I keep hearing about you recently!

The host above was also very happy. After all, Jin Peng did not beat around the bush and just took out the money. Real money worked better than any idea.

He suddenly remembered something and asked Jin Peng with a smile: What kind of deposit do you have? How much are you going to take? There must be a number!

Everyone around him looked over, and Jin Peng, who was feeling the pressure, had no choice but to raise a finger and smile innocently, pretending to be a simple young man.

Ten thousand? Are you being stingy? Young people, you should be bolder!

The people above were a little disappointed, but they still had smiles on their faces. After all, Jin Peng's performance was acceptable.

But the next moment, Jin Peng said nonchalantly: No, we can provide a deposit of one million.

.

grass~

After a brief silence, someone cursed in a low voice.

As soon as the number one million came out, Jin Peng's low profile just now seemed like he was just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and the biting one didn't scream.

How big is Xiushui Street? If you invest one million in cash when you first come up, it won’t be enough for a loan later?

If you want to make peace with yourself, just say so. Wouldn't it be over if we make room for you?

But if you are a shill, hehe.

Even the boss on the stage asked again in confusion: Um, what's your last name, Xiao Jin, right? Did you say one million plus a loan? Or is it a deposit?

One million in 1982 may be just paper to public banks, but it is a big number to enterprises.

It's a deposit. We are very optimistic about the Xiushui Street project. It is very close to the embassy district and has many overseas friends. We think that Xiushui Street may be a window to the outside world in the future. At least we can learn what kind of products foreigners like. .”

Jin Peng was very determined and started to explain. After all, judging from the faces of many people at the scene, they thought he was a shill and was joking and talking empty words.

Although our Pengcheng Factory No. 7 is small in scale, we are very ambitious. We are still operating domestically, but we hope that one day we can sell our products abroad so that people with yellow hair can also take a look. We The flower grower’s products are absolutely perfect.”

Hahahahaha~

Young people have such big hearts!

Well, after all, this little comrade is very brave, but he has a big appetite.

People today! When they see the scenery of exporting and earning foreign exchange, they are very excited, but they don't know the difficulties behind it!

Jin Peng was a little stunned, a little angry, and a little tempted to retort.

When Li Ye said this to him in the past, Jin Peng could occasionally see Li Ye's strange eyes. Although he somewhat resonated with it, he did not fully agree.

After all, he always felt that it was too arrogant for him, a little person who just came out of Qingshui County, to talk about those things.

But now, Jin Peng felt strong unwillingness and ambition.

Look at the people sitting around you right now. They are all people with pens in their coat pockets. Why are you so timid? When you hear about making money from foreigners, do you want to destroy your prestige first?

Others can make money from us, why can’t we make money from foreigners?

At this moment, Jin Peng suddenly recognized the ambition in Li Ye.

Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. How can an illiterate man know how to promote the prestige of our country?

Now that we have money and people we need, why can't we compete with foreigners?

Pa bang bang~

The boss above suddenly clapped his hands gently. The sound was not loud, but it suppressed everyone's whispers.

What's wrong with young people having ideas? Is it that funny?

Everyone fell silent. It was OK to laugh at Jin Peng, but it was no joke to laugh at the person above.

Xiao Jin, when will your one million be available?

We can do it today. We have checked with the bank and there is one million funds in the account. In addition, they are also willing to give us a loan with an interest rate of 6.9, which is quite a large amount.

Jin Peng was no longer the street brother of Qingshui County. He quickly adjusted his mood and answered seriously.

What's the interest rate of 6.9? Director Wen, go and contact Comrade Xiao Jin and see if you can provide some help.

Wen Guohua nodded and stood up, taking Jin Peng directly out of the venue.

After leaving the venue, Jin Peng felt that the tightness in his chest was getting better. He reached out to touch a cigarette, but Wen Guohua handed one over first.

Jin Peng quickly took it and ordered it for Wen Guohua first.

Wen Guohua took a sip and asked Jin Peng: What you just said were just casual remarks! Or do you have a detailed plan?

Jin Peng smiled and said, I don't know either, but we have an economic consultant. If Director Wen wants to know more, you can talk to him.

Wen Guohua looked at Jin Peng and couldn't help but smile: Okay! I'll go and find out about the loan interest from you first, and then I'll talk to Consultant Li.

There's no problem with the loan interest, we've confirmed it. Jin Peng said with certainty.

The highest loan interest rate is 7.2. Are you sure you want the 6.9 one?

.

Jin Peng smiled and touched his scalp habitually.

As long as he dares to lend it, I will use it.

Is this also what your economic adviser said?

hey-hey.

Jin Peng smiled and said nothing. Your aura, Wen Guohua, is naturally overwhelming. What should I tell you?

If you have any questions, just ask your future brother-in-law.
