Chapter 407 Alternative Savings(1/2)
1983 arrived amid the clamor of "Lower prices! Lower prices!"
The country's New Year's gift package to the people across the country is a sharp drop in the price of chemical fiber products across the country.
Many people don't believe that such a good thing is possible.
But the problem is that all stores clearly state the prices, so seeing is believing.
This is so fresh!
In all the years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, I have only heard of price increases. Has anyone heard of price cuts?
Ever since, the rush buying started!
People were worried whether this would be a flash in the pan, and everyone tried their best to exchange their banknotes for colorful chemical fiber cloth.
In addition to setting aside money to buy vouchers to supply New Year goods, you can buy as much as you can.
Even in families that are holding back on buying home appliances, many people have spent part of their savings to buy chemical fiber cloth.
For a time, even the banks were overcrowded, and there were so many people withdrawing money.
Needless to say, this lively No. 2 courtyard of Shan'er Hutong will naturally not come to nothing.
Even Ning Weimin was afraid that everyone would follow the crowd and lose their minds, so he kept shouting to everyone, "Don't buy it! Don't buy it!"
He also entrusted Kang Shude and Luo Guangliang to help persuade, but everyone still bought a lot.
It’s not for anything else. The key is that once I see other people buying it, I can’t control myself.
It's like it's a crime to miss out on this "advantage" and not take advantage of it.
Fortunately, after helping Ning Weimin sell clothes this year, the Luo family and the Bian family felt that adults would never be short of clothes, and all they bought were baby products.
For example, bulky yarn socks and other items that have been reduced in price can still be used to some extent.
But Aunt Mi really went too far.
Not only did she secretly keep a lot of chemical fiber treatment products that Ning Weimin asked her to export, but she refused to sell them.
Moreover, I even got several pieces of chemical fiber cloth from "Ruifuxiang" to move home.
Along the way, every acquaintance she met would always ask her.
"Why did you buy so much cloth? What is it used for?"
She answered triumphantly with her nose in the air and her eyes raised.
"I won't do it, I'll save it."
The most amazing thing is that the driver who used a platoon cart to help her pull the cloth was also helpful.
"Today, this is the third time I have visited someone's home. Compared with others, this person has not bought the most."
However, in this case, for an old man in the business system, Aunt Mi, who claims to be an authority, has the same counter-effect as irritating generals.
Aunt Mi didn't take the good words seriously, thinking that the coachman looked down on her.
He snorted coldly and followed up with a few words.
"Boy, you said that a little early. I'm still going to buy some after lunch. This is just my first batch."
Well, let's see, she's half an old lady, and she's still being more serious than a guy who pulls a rickshaw.
What's more, no matter how big the advantage is, it's not enough to take advantage of it. Why don't you just wait and regret it?
However, no matter how noisy the Shan'er Hutong is, when will Aunt Mi finally understand?
Ning Weimin couldn't take care of him at all.
If nothing else, the price changes of chemical fiber products put him under the greatest pressure.
Who asked him to take over many old workers from the garment factory?
Fortunately, he was well-informed and learned the news a week in advance from the mouths of those connected with the garment factory.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and took action very quickly. He started selling at reduced prices before the country did.
Finally, when the country officially lowered prices, the chemical fiber products in his hands had already been sold for seventy-seven or eighty-eight dollars.
Not only is it not a loss, but the general ledger may still make a small profit.
And this false alarm was not in vain.
Although the price of chemical fiber products has dropped, cotton prices will rise in reverse.
Nowadays, Ning Weimin's remaining goods are not only all cotton.
He also took advantage of the fact that the prices did not change and replenished a lot of cotton products with the clothing factory.
It's still a profit inside and out, it's just a lot of extra effort.
From this we can see how important connections and friends are in the shopping mall.
Without anyone to help, maybe just one step away could cause huge losses like shipwreck and loss of life.
Even if you are a traveler, it is impossible to avoid all the hidden reefs and waves in the commercial sea.
Network is a businessman's golden bell and intelligence network, which can be put to great use at critical times.
So it is precisely because of this that Ning Weimin pays great attention to cultivating connections and maintaining friendships even on ordinary days.
For example, for Qiao Wanlin, a friend he met at Chongwenmen Hotel.
Even if he has left the Chongwenmen Hotel, and even if Qiao Wanlin has entered the district service bureau, the two of them are no longer directly involved in interests.
But all along, Ning Weimin still made great efforts to maintain a close relationship with him for a long time.
Before long, he would always take the initiative to have a meal with Qiao Wanlin, or maybe drink tea together.
Or sit together and recall with Qiao Wanlin the years when they were colleagues, the old friendships and interesting things worth remembering.
Or just talk about two people’s careers and lives, their views on the future of society and the country, etc.
And Ning Weimin would never ask Qiao Wanlin to do something for him.
He would never force Qiao Wanlin to accept expensive gifts from him.
As for why this happens?
In fact, there is only one reason.
That is because Ning Weimin, who is very familiar with the world, attaches great importance to Qiao Wanlin's relatives' background in the service bureau.
Moreover, he is quite optimistic about Qiao Wanlin's abilities and firmly believes that his future and energy are much more than this.
Ning Weimin was patiently waiting for the days when Qiao Wanlin would make a lot of progress, waiting for the time when Qiao Wanlin would shine like real gold.
In addition, Ning Weimin also understood that if you want to ask for help, you can't just improvise.
Know that only when trouble comes, ask for someone else to leave, and wait until someone else is successful before you come back to them.
That would be too obvious, appear philistine, and would be annoying.
Therefore, in his eyes, it can be said that he truly regards Qiao Wanlin as an important foundation for his future business development.
To put it bluntly, this is like saving money in a bank. He is taking a long-term view, fishing for big fish, and making emotional investments in advance.
Unless he encounters extremely special and important situations, he will not easily use this partnership.
However, when the matter of reducing the price of chemical fiber cloth was over.
Ning Weimin couldn't wait to invite Qiao Wanlin to his cigarette shop as a guest.
And contrary to normal, he actually made a request to Qiao Wanlin for the first time.
It was for no other reason than that he had a sudden inspiration from the recent popularity among the audience at the Zhai Palace Art Exhibition.
I feel that since the "Second Temple of Heaven Zhai Palace Sculpture Art Exhibition" organized by Pierre Carton is so popular, and the awards are over, there is still a full month of exhibition period, just in time for the Spring Festival.
It would be better to simply resume the New Year temple fair and fully explore the social impact and economic benefit potential of the sculpture art exhibition.
If it can be realized smoothly, it will not only be beneficial to himself, but also beneficial to the expansion of the sculpture art exhibition, beneficial to Pierre Carton Company, and beneficial to the Temple of Heaven Park.
Moreover, it can also earn Qiao Wanlin a dazzling political performance, which is of great benefit to his career.
In other words, his most important favor savings can grow as quickly as compound interest.
There is certainly no reason not to do something about such a good thing.
"1983 is the year of Guihai, the year of the pig. What's the omen? It's just fatness, plenty of oil and water."
"Brother Qiao, have you noticed? People's hands are much richer than before. This may be related to the fact that in recent years, all walks of life have successively increased wages and bonuses. Just a few days ago, there was a fuss about the chemical fiber cloth, okay?
The number of people who grab chemical fiber cloth as if they don't need any money is enough to illustrate the problem."
"Although people have money in their hands, their spirits are empty. Most of today's people, including those who went to the countryside, have stable jobs and may even have families. But Apart from going to work, I have nothing to do after get off work."
"Do you still remember a few years ago? Ballroom dancing used to be quite popular, but a "Notice" determined that it was 'vulgar and vulgar and immoral,' and it was banned directly on the grounds that it hindered social management order."
"Last year, in order to clean up mental pollution, six publishing houses closed down for rectification. Even Li Guyi's songs were not allowed to be listened to. They were classified as bad songs. So, what else can that person do? Apart from watching
Watch movies and TV, go to the park, and just stay at home."
"Why else would everyone have to save money to buy a TV? It's because of this, if you don't buy a TV, you'll have nothing to do. You see, a sculpture art exhibition that we don't take too seriously has actually become popular. And
