Chapter 271: Another letter from Shanghai City

Although Zhang Fangfen made a lot of money, she was always uneasy and worried about policy changes.

This kind of mentality is normal. In the past, it was like having nothing and being scared!

Now that the family is considered to be a big one, she is naturally worried about gains and losses.

Therefore, it makes sense to say that the proletarians are the most revolutionary.

The rulers need social stability, and the best way is to let the proletarians earn money and own property.

Zhang Fangfen straightened the quilt for Huang Han and touched his forehead, saying

"I took the time yesterday to go to the 'Nancheng Pawn Shop' compound and have a look."

Huang Han asked casually, "Has the cultural center been vacated?"

"No, but it's coming soon. I think it will be finished within a month. It's so big there, I'm afraid it will take more than a dozen people to dance it down!"

"Yes! I've seen it there too. It's really big enough. It covers an area of ​​nearly 2,000 square meters. It will require at least 20 people in the early stage. If the business is good, it will probably take 30 or 40 people."

"Hiring so many people is really just like a capitalist, won't it cause trouble?"

"How can self-employed people employ so many people for the time being? At most eight are enough. If there are more, they will be capitalist roaders, and they might go to jail!"

"Then what should we do? You! Why didn't our family make it clear before negotiating with the housing management office to rent a house?"

"It doesn't matter. As long as our family makes some changes, it will become better to hire as many people as possible. Not only will we not cause trouble, we will also get honors, get commendations, and get unexpected benefits."

"Workaround? How to work around?"

"Cooperate with the collective and hang up a collective sign!"

"You can imagine it! The public-private partnership was established in the past five years. Which private shop and factory didn't all become public-owned in the end?"

This is true. Zhang Fangfen has experienced that era, and of course she has heard and witnessed it, but she cannot imagine thirty years in the east of Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.

The renewed public-private partnership in the 1980s was a complete counterattack, and in the end most factories became completely private.

"Times have changed. As the country progresses, we also realize that we can no longer eat from the big pot. Most of the small factories and shops in the future will be privately operated.

There is no need for my family to build the first rafters. I took the initiative to hang up the public sign to avoid disaster and to develop better."

"What if we put up a public sign and the property is taken away?"

"No, the current government will never confiscate anyone's property at will."

"If the government sends cadres, it won't work if my family can no longer be the master!"

"So we have to negotiate good conditions before hanging up the collective brand. Independent operation is the bottom line."

"Is it possible that the public gives the brand but cannot be the master? What are they trying to do?"

"Achievements, jobs, and some management fees. Mom, haven't you seen the unemployed young people on the street? The country has to arrange for so many people to work, and the pressure is great."

"That's right. The house is rented anyway, so it's up to you. Let's give it a try!"

"The fifth cousin wrote again. She said that the 'backpacks' are very popular and asked if she could send more goods. She thought that since they were made at home, why not find more people to make more?"

It is really easy for Xu Ruonan to apply to be a self-employed person selling clothes and bags. It may also be because the work efficiency in Shanghai is higher than that in other places.

When the report arrived at the sub-district office, it was approved on the same day because Huang Jinlan's family has two unemployed young people and is a family that supports employment.

The director of the sub-district office also helped Xu Ruonan by calling the Industrial and Commercial Office and gave Xu Ruonan instructions on how to go through the procedures, and he got the business license in half a month.

Xu Ruonan has not hired anyone for the time being and is taking care of her own business. She has no way and dare not go to the south to buy goods for the time being, so she wholesales them from second-tier dealers in the free market.

When the goods were purchased for the first time, Huang Jinlan and Xu Shengnan accompanied the five girls from beginning to end.

With Huang Jinlan, an old businessman, watching from the side, the second-rate dealers really didn't dare to bully others. The goods they gave were quite authentic and the prices were fair.

Although the goods have passed through at least two hands, the price difference is not big, but fortunately Xu Shengnan rented a shop with an area of ​​more than 30 square meters, and the trust of buyers is higher, so her business is relatively easy to do.

Before Huang Han left, he specifically told Xu Ruonan to let go. The store should not be small and the market entrance should not be poor. There was no need to worry about crowds. The more clothing stores on the street, the better.

And he said that there is no need to worry about losing money in the initial stage. When the capital is not enough, it will not be a problem to give her another 4,000 yuan.

Having this commitment is a strong backing.

The number of self-employed people engaged in clothing business in Shanghai has begun to increase, the value of storefronts has been soaring, and rents have become more and more expensive.

Xu Ruonan's house offers a high rent of 1,200 yuan a year, and the location of the clothing store is good.

The average salary of employees in Shanghai is only five to six hundred yuan a year. This rent is equivalent to the total income of two employees a year, which is indeed not low.

Only those who are willing to invest can get rewards, Xu Ruonan made the right first step.

In the first month, excluding rent, she earned close to one hundred yuan in expenses and salary. The letters she wrote were full of joy.

This time the letter not only expressed joy, but also expressed great ambition, and actually asked my aunt to expand the production of "backpacks".

Because she sold two hundred "backpacks" and earned a price difference of 600 yuan, her net profit this month will reach more than 700 yuan.

Having made money, Xu Ruonan has become much more courageous. She has hired a girl to help her, with a basic salary of 40 yuan, and bonuses for good business.

This seventeen-year-old girl named Zhou Jihong originally came to Shanghai to work as a nanny. This was also the first choice for rural girls to work in the city in the early 1980s.

Unexpectedly, her master was picky and disliked this and that. She only worked for a month and was not allowed to work anymore.

When she was huddled in the corner and wiping tears, she was spotted by Xu Ruonan who was returning home.

Xu Ruonan has a kind nature. After asking about the little girl's situation, he took her home to wash her face and eat.

Now this girl not only works as a salesperson, but also sleeps in the store at night.

She enjoys being a salesperson and is in a good mood. She is happy to face customers every day because she no longer has to wait on others and feels that she has gained dignity.

Selling "backpacks" is the main source of income for Xu Ruonan's clothing store. Of course she hopes to get more goods.

During this period, I wrote letters one after another, asking my aunt to find more workers and produce more "backpacks".

Of course Zhang Fangfen hopes to see Xu Ruonan's business doing well, and is really happy for her when she learns that she has made a lot of money.

Seeing Huang Han talking about this matter, he nodded and said, "Yes! Making a 'backpack' is a sure profit. I should hire a few more people."

"Our family is equivalent to having a store in Shanghai. We can definitely make a lot of money by making 'backpacks' and selling clothes. My family will simply set up the planned factory."

"Yeah! Once the old house is built, there will be space, so it can be done."
Chapter completed!
