In the late 1980s, China encountered many difficulties in its economic development.

More than half of the collective and state-owned enterprises have been robbed of the market by township and village enterprises due to brutal competition. It has become difficult to do business. They are worried about buying and selling, and they are also afraid that they will not get back the money after shipping the goods.

It's not that the products of township and village enterprises are of good quality, nor that their goods are cheap. The main reason is that their sales methods are flexible.

Huang Han understands these skills, so he persuaded Qin Kunlun, Jiang Xiaojuan and others a few years ago to adopt the method of retaining business expenses, giving the company the power to freely dispose 25% of profits.

Most companies use 10% as a bonus to encourage employees to work overtime to increase production, improve product qualification rates, and flexibly use 15% of business expenses to expand sales markets.

The effect is good. When foreign township enterprises compete with enterprises in Sanshui City, they have no advantage in marketing methods and have the disadvantage of poor product quality.

Often after user units visit and inspect enterprises in Sanshui City, township enterprises from other places will be defeated!

The reason is very simple. The gap in strength is too big. The city appearance and public security situation of Sanshui City can also add points to the company.

Therefore, the vast majority of companies in Sanshui City have ample funds and good reputations, and the vast majority are high-quality customers.

Foreign companies are eager to become cooperative units, so of course they rush to the party to build relationships.

Therefore, the New Year's Day social dance was so overcrowded that Qin Kunlun, Song Jiefang, etc. had to temporarily free up the government agency canteen near the auditorium to allow the heads of various companies to drink tea and talk things over.

Not all people who come to the social dance on New Year's Day are here to talk about work. There are also many people who gather in groups to chat about gossip and the news.

The hotly discussed topic is of course the crash of a Pan Am flight in the British town of Lockerbie a few days ago.

To be honest, decades of political propaganda have influenced at least two generations of mainland Chinese people. The vast majority of mainland Chinese cadres and people hate the United States.

When an American plane fell, most of the comrades discussed it in a tone of gloating about the misfortune.

Huang Han does not hate the United States, he hates little devils and old Maozi. The reason is very simple. The Americans did not massacre Chinese people and did not occupy Chinese territory.

The little devils have been invading China since the Manchu Qing Dynasty and killed too many Chinese people. The land area of ​​China occupied by Lao Maozi should be half of China's current land area.

Not being hostile does not mean letting down your guard. Huang Han understands in his heart that the United States is a powerful opponent and he can never have any illusions about this country.

If you bend your eyebrows and bend your waist to lick it, others will definitely despise you. Only by constantly striving for self-improvement can we achieve true equality.

1988 was an election year in the United States. It was completely different from the way Chinese people talked about the U.S. president on the streets in later generations. At this time, even government workers and business leaders did not discuss this topic.

It may be that they don't care about this matter at all, or it may be that China has too few reports on the U.S. election, and the vast majority of Chinese people don't even know that the U.S. president is about to change.

Huang Han was concerned about who the President of the United States was. After reading the relevant reports in the newspapers, he felt much more at ease after knowing that Bush Sr. had won and would take over from Reagan.

Because Huang Han knew that sanctions on China were lifted not long after they were imposed, and the main reason was that George H.W. Bush wanted to use force against Saddam Hussein.

If George H.W. Bush had not come to power and if there had been no Gulf War, China's development path would have been much more tortuous.

The national destiny is really important. Just when China was facing difficulties, Laos invaded Kuwait, which immediately broke the regional balance and temporarily caused the Western camp led by the United States to temporarily relax the Far East.

China has a great opportunity to continue to hide its capabilities and bide its time.

Qin Kunlun and Song Jiefang are today's hosts. They personally hosted the social dance, which is enough to prove the attitude of Sanshui City. All the guests can feel the enthusiasm.

Two or three shows every ten or twenty minutes are routines, singing, dancing, and telling jokes are a must.

The appeal of Huang Han's team is extraordinary, and it is impossible for Qin Kunlun and Song Jiefang to do so.

After the dance lasted for about two hours, they picked up the microphone and invited Huang Han's team to sing a few songs for everyone.

Then the audience burst into warmest applause to welcome Huang Han's team.

This is absolutely possible. Since we are here to have fun, we should sing and dance.

The music started playing, and eight students from Huang Han's team hummed the melody: "Mm...Mm..."

"Ah...Ah..."

Zhang Chunmei, Lu Yao, Wang Huiling, and Zhang Qian sang: "Bytheriver of Babylon, Therewesatdown. Yeahwewept, WhenwerememberedZion."

Huang Han, Cheng Wenge, Qian Aiguo, Xiao Qiang joined: "BytheriverofBabylon,Therewesatdown.Yeahwewept,WhenwerememberedZion."

This song "Rivers of Babylon" is a classic. It was widely circulated in mainland China in the early 1980s and is the most famous disco dance song.

Eight beauties and handsome men snapped their fingers and swayed their bodies rhythmically. Hundreds of guests waved their hands on the dance floor and swayed slowly to the rhythm. The scene was very exciting!

There are dozens of joint ventures in Sanshui City, and there are many foreign executives. Everyone who is in Sanshui City came to attend the party today.

Everyone among them was familiar with the world-popular song "Rivers of Babylon" and they all sang along.

Several foreign executives gave a thumbs up and praised Huang Han's team in English for their good singing and standard pronunciation, which was not inferior to the original singers.

Of course Huang Han, Zhang Chunmei, etc. understood what others were saying, and they all politely thanked them in English and chatted with them for a few words.

Too many business executives from other places were attracted, and they all lamented that Sanshui City is not simple because there are so many young people who can converse in English.

In the future, China will face great development, and foreign exchanges will be too important. Therefore, Huang Han emphasized the importance of English as early as elementary school.

He not only studied grammar and memorized vocabulary seriously, listened to English teaching tapes, but also urged his classmates to study seriously.

In junior high school, especially in the first year of junior high school, tape recorders and English tapes were rare items and would never be widely available. More than 80% of my classmates did not have tape recorders at home.

For this reason, Huang Han specially placed his Sanyo cassette player in the classroom. At noon, he played English teaching tapes on a loop during class breaks, which produced good results.

The students in Huang Han's study group did better. In order to improve their conversational skills, they tried their best to talk in English, pointed out grammatical errors to each other, and corrected incorrect pronunciation.

But you are familiar with it! There is actually no secret to learning English. Only if you are willing to spend time memorizing and increasing your vocabulary can you make perfect with practice.

Therefore, Cheng Wen Ge, Wang Huiling, Zhang Qian and other subjects may have average scores in other subjects, but as long as they take the English test, they can basically get full marks, which increases their overall ranking.

After entering high school, due to the role model effect of Shen Xiaorong, who has achieved astonishing success in the United States, the students in the experimental middle school were unparalleled in their enthusiasm for learning English, and their overall strength was much higher than the provincial level.

Huang Han's study group has Shen Xiaorong who often sends study tapes, video tapes, and original English movie tapes to China. There are many opportunities for learning, and the English level is higher, and daily conversations can be carried out without pressure.

In the new year and new atmosphere, Sanshui City held a city-wide economic work conference at the People's Theater on January 2.

At the meeting, Qin Kunlun and Song Jiefang not only gave a summary of last year and an outlook for this year, but also emphasized once again the dangers of triangular debt, clarified financial discipline, reiterated that whoever owes debts is responsible, and compensation for losses caused is based on the price.

Too many units in Sanshui City have completed the shareholding reform, and too many senior executives have become shareholders. Their income is directly proportional to the profitability of the company, and they have done their best to avoid bad debts. The phenomenon of overstaffing has basically been eliminated.

They not only abide by the basic principle of not owing debts, but also strictly review the sales and purchase contracts of salespersons to prevent and control triangular debts from the source.

Now Sanshui City has reached a consensus from top to bottom. The concept that those who want to pay debts will most likely want to default on the debts is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they are determined not to deal with units and individuals who want nothing to do with anything.

Since no debts and no credit have become common practice, the tertiary industry in Sanshui City has become more prosperous.

Self-employed people who open restaurants are afraid that they won't be able to find anyone when they ask for money with a handful of white notes.

However, for enterprises and institutions in Sanshui City, expenses are paid monthly, and the person in charge must settle accounts and complete the approval procedures at the end of the month. It is much easier for self-employed businesses to do business.

On January 3rd, many people rushed to tell each other, and the teachers of the Experimental Middle School and Experimental Primary School were all very happy.

Why? "Homeland Group" posted a great news. Dividends will start tomorrow, and every shareholder can get 20% of the income.

There are also rumors that the 20% dividend is only one-fifth of the net profit, and the shares of "Homeland Group" in the hands of each shareholder have actually doubled.

Next, bright-minded merchants from Zhejiang and Fujian provinces posted notices to acquire shares of "Homeland Group", and the premium they offered was 50%.

When the original shares of "Homeland Group" were put on sale, the price was ten yuan per share, and merchants from Zhejiang and Fujian bought the shares for fifteen yuan per share.

Some people who have no foresight or are really in a hurry to use money can do the math. After receiving 20% ​​of the dividends, they can still earn 50% by selling the stocks. After just investing one and a half years, they can earn 70%. , what a bargain.

As a result, many people liquidated their stocks and happily bought back large color TV sets and washing machines to celebrate the Happy New Year.

The city does not prevent private buying and selling of stocks.

Huang Han also suggested adopting a cold approach of no support and no objection.

He believes that if you are willing to buy at a high price, you are optimistic about the future of "Homeland Group", and if you sell, you will be safe.

Everyone likes the feeling of making money. At this time, many teachers remembered the scene when Huang Han earnestly persuaded everyone to join the "Homeland Group", and greeted Huang Han when they saw him from afar.

It feels like the other way around, Huang Han is not a student, he almost looks like a principal.

Every time at this moment, the heartless Xiao Qiang burst out laughing.

She was also very happy because she also invested the money she earned into shares, and her mother also added several thousand yuan, making her investment up to 15,000 yuan.

The students in the study group all bought shares, and they all realized that their investment should have doubled this time, and they were all very happy.

The cost of college is really not that much these days, and it is basically not a burden for poor families.

If they go to normal school, diligent and frugal rural college students can even save money to support their families.

The family conditions of the students in the study group were originally relatively good in Sanshui City. After following Huang Han, not only did they make money, but their parents were also promoted.

They bought a lot of "Homeland Group" stocks, and the dividends from the stocks were enough to cover their travel and food expenses to college.

Neither Cheng Wenge nor Qian Aiguo paid attention to their accounts and did not feel like they had made money. Wang Yu was different from them. He had liked to settle accounts since he was a child and managed his own money.

He often heard Huang Han say that house prices would rise, and he also saw that house prices kept rising, and he had an idea in his mind.

After he is admitted to college, he plans to buy a small house in the city where he goes to college.

Wang Yu has high intelligence and likes to think things over and be smart.

He believes that if he buys a small house, he can live there for four years while attending college, and then sell it after graduation. If the house price rises at the same rate, he will certainly make a profit without suffering a loss.

Liu Xiaoli has been troubled these days, because she originally had no money, so she bought the shares of "Homeland Group". Suddenly, she got an extra 1,200 yuan in dividends, and she had to use her brain to find a safe place to hide her passbook!

Wang Huiling also manages her own money, and Huang Han also deliberately creates opportunities for her to make money.

Now, according to the standards of the late 1980s, the value of her savings and stocks is definitely higher than 95% of the families in the country. She is definitely rich and beautiful.

The first dividend of "Homeland Group" also made the city a lot more comfortable.
