Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

Shanghai is the most prosperous city in modern my country, bar none.

From the reform and opening up until Deng Shirong's rebirth, its GDP was the undisputed No. 1 in China, which is really awesome.

Moreover, Shanghai's prosperity is far more than just a few decades. It was already the economic center of my country during the Republic of China period. On the eve of the full-scale war of resistance, Shanghai even contributed 10% of the country's GDP, which is simply terrifying.

Before, Deng Shirong asked Xiao Dong'er where she wanted to go, and she blurted out Shanghai. There was a reason. It was really that Shanghai was so famous in this era that it was almost known to everyone, and its economic strength was even more outstanding.

Before the Spring Festival last year, Deng Shirong took Xiao Dong'er to travel in Beijing, and the grandfather and grandson took planes back and forth.

This trip to Shanghai was naturally no exception, and the family also went by plane.

Nowadays, with Deng Shirong's family's network of connections, it is not difficult to get someone to give a letter of introduction to buy a plane ticket. It is no longer necessary to take a train to travel far away like a few years ago. It is not only uncomfortable, but most of the time is wasted on the road.

When the family arrived in Shanghai, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Deng Shirong has been to Shanghai several times. He is not very familiar with Shanghai, but he is better than his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren who are visiting Shanghai for the first time. After arriving at the airport, he took a car directly to the most prosperous area in Shanghai-the Bund.

Compared with the villagers, Deng Yuntai has been to many places. He has been to all major cities in Guangxi and many cities in Guangdong. Although Zhang Xiuping cannot compare with her husband, she has also been to cities such as Nanning, Liuzhou, and Guilin.

However, the gap between the cities he has visited in the past and the prosperous Shanghai is really huge.

On the way to the Bund, Deng Yuntai said with deep emotion: "Shanghai is indeed famous, it is more than a hundred times more prosperous than Nanning!"

Zhang Xiuping looked at this prosperous city with tall buildings and endless traffic, and nodded in agreement: "Nanning is really incomparable to here. This is the most prosperous city I have ever seen in my life."

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "At this level in our country, there are two central cities, one is naturally our capital, and the other is Shanghai. As for Nanning, it can barely be regarded as the regional center of our Guangxi, which is naturally far behind Shanghai."

Xiao Dong'er asked: "Grandpa, where is the most fun place in Shanghai?"

This question stumped Deng Shirong. Shanghai does not have the historical heritage of Beijing, and there are a lot of various attractions. In addition to the Bund, he really can't think of any fun places in Shanghai now.

The most important thing is that many famous attractions in later generations have not been born in this era!

For example, the famous Oriental Pearl TV Tower was just about to start construction, and landmark buildings like the Jinmao Tower probably haven't even started designing yet!

There are also places suitable for children such as Disney, the World Expo, the Safari Park, and the Museum, which are not yet in sight.

So, Shanghai in this era was indeed prosperous enough, but the places suitable for sightseeing were far from comparable to those in later times.

Deng Shirong thought about it and replied, "We will go to the Bund first. That is the most prosperous place in Shanghai. It should be more fun."

...

An hour later.

Deng Shirong and his family came to the Peace Hotel.

Looking at this famous building known as the business card of Shanghai, Deng Shirong said, "Let's check in here first, and then have dinner here. After dinner, we will go out to enjoy the night view of the Bund."

Deng Yuntai and others naturally had no objection to hearing this, and the family went in to check in.

They entered the South Building of the Peace Hotel. The entrance was an Art Nouveau-style teak revolving door. As soon as they entered, they saw eight columns in the hall. Four of them were Tuscan columns made of a whole piece of stone. The white stone was matched with dark column bases, capitals, and pallets. The colors were in sharp contrast and the outlines were strong and powerful. The inner group was reduced in size and had a golden mixed column capital with a modified wooden column body. The lower part became a prism, which had a bit of a combination of Chinese and Western styles.

The wall surface consists of three parts: skirting, wall body, and eaves. The skirting and wall body are completely wrapped by the wall guard. The wooden frame in the wall guard can improve the deformation of the wooden board. The wooden board is placed with a pattern of volutes and circular golden flowers, which makes the wall look grand and not too dull. The plaster ceiling is richly decorated with golden plant branches and leaves.

Deng Shirong can only say that this is indeed extraordinary for the Peace Hotel with a history of more than a hundred years.

The family checked in, put away their luggage, and went to the restaurant downstairs for dinner.

This restaurant is a combination of brown, white and yellow. The top is decorated with artistic lamps and the surrounding is decorated with classical carvings. The combination of modern and traditional makes it elegant and fashionable.

It was the peak time for meals. While waiting for the dishes to be served, Deng Shirong's attention was attracted by a guest who was talking loudly at the next table.

Listening carefully, you can tell that they are talking about stocks.

At this time, the A-share market ushered in the first bull market. The entire stock market was really unprecedentedly prosperous. At this time, even a pig could make money by speculating in stocks. Among the big stock speculators, there were three powerful people, known as the "three sheep".

In his previous life, Deng Shirong was a bookworm with more than ten years of reading experience. The number of online novels he read was really unmatched by ordinary people.

After all, although many people have been reading books for more than ten years, they read novels every day after work. Deng Shirong was retiring in his hometown at the time. In addition to eating and sleeping every day, he passed the time by reading novels and watching videos.

In the past ten years, I have read a huge amount of online novels.

In urban novels, as long as they are about people trading in the stock market, the famous "Three Sheep" in the Shanghai stock market must be mentioned.

After seeing this a lot, Deng Shirong naturally knew the general deeds of these "three sheep".

Therefore, after listening for less than three minutes, Deng Shirong roughly figured out who the person who pointed the country was. If he guessed correctly, he should be one of the "Three Sheeps" and held Shanghai at his peak. One-eighth of the stocks in the stock market.

This is indeed awesome, but this guy likes to use super leverage when trading stocks. In the end, he not only lost everything, but also owed a lot of debt and countless lawsuits. The ending was really disappointing.

Of course, he is not the worst. The worst is the other leader among the "Three Sheeps". That guy's wealth at his peak reached 30 million. He could have such a net worth in the mid-1990s. If he is willing to If you stop, you won't have to worry about it in this life.

It's a pity that people's hearts are greedy. After gaining 30 million yuan, he didn't want to stop living his wealthy life, but dreamed of becoming a billionaire.

Maybe the money came too easily, which made this guy completely confused. He dared to speculate in futures without knowing anything, and even when he was losing money, he kept buying in hot-headedness. In the end, he was taught a hard lesson, 3000 Millions of wealth were wiped out in just one month.

Every time Deng Shirong sees this guy’s deeds, he is a little puzzled. Call him greedy. He is usually an extremely frugal person. Even with a net worth of 30 million, he does not buy a car or a house. He rides a bicycle every day. A worn-out bicycle shuttles between home and the stock exchange center.

His undershirts were often mended again and again, only to be thrown away until they were no longer wearable.

If he didn't bring food for lunch, he would always go to a nearby noodle shop and order a bowl of the cheapest pickled vegetable noodles.

People often laugh at him, and he retorts: "Why do you eat so well? You still have to poop out."

It's weird to live so frugally and still want to make hundreds of millions after making 30 million.

For such a person who wants to break every penny in half and spend it, it is expected that he will lose 30 million in a month and have a mental breakdown and become a madman.

Compared with these two leading sheep who met a miserable end, the man named Yang Wanwan was much more cautious, and he always kept a cool head. His gambling spirit was not as great as the other two sheep, so he started well and ended well.

At this time, the stock market is in a bull market, and stock traders are making a lot of money every day, especially the big investor at the next table. Because there is a lot of money invested in the stock market, the daily income is astronomical for ordinary people.

When people are prosperous, there are naturally many people who like to listen to your advice.

Deng Yuntai listened for a while and then said in Hakka: "Dad, is this stock really so magical? If you buy it for tens of thousands of yuan, you have the opportunity to make tens or millions."

"It is indeed so miraculous. Some people can make tens of millions of dollars with only tens of thousands of yuan, but there are also people with millions of dollars who lose everything overnight. This thing is not something that ordinary people can touch. It is better than our hometown. The gambling over there is even more terrifying.”

Deng Shirong was afraid that his eldest son would also speculate in stocks, so he immediately gave up his idea and said with a serious expression: "Yuntai, as long as you run your supermarket chain step by step in your life, you are destined to become a billionaire. of.

Dad gives you a piece of advice here, you must remember it: you can do anything in the future, but you must not touch gambling, stocks and futures, otherwise you will not be called a billionaire, even if you are the richest man in the world It's no use, sooner or later you will lose all your money. "

Zhang Xiuping didn't understand stocks either, but when her father-in-law compared the stock to gambling and said it so seriously, she knew that this thing was untouchable. She quickly looked at her husband and said, "Brother Tai, you heard what dad said. Well, you must not touch this stock, do you understand?”

Deng Yuntai said with shame: "I just asked casually. I never thought about touching stocks. Since this thing is so dangerous, only a fool would touch it!"

Deng Shirong glanced at the table next door, then lowered his voice slightly and said, "You all heard it, right? That man is really good at stock trading. He may make more money in one day than an ordinary rural person can make in a lifetime, but I can conclude that , it won’t be long before he loses everything because of stock trading, and may even owe huge debts.

How beautiful it is now, how miserable it will be in the future. "

Deng Yuntai said in surprise: "Dad, it's not that exaggerated. From what they said, that person's assets in the stock market are almost tens of millions. Will he really have nothing in the future and even owe huge debts?"

Deng Shirong said: "It's not an exaggeration at all. Do you know what the capital allocation they just mentioned means?"

Deng Yuntai shook his head and asked, "What do you mean?"

"To put it simply, this capital allocation means borrowing money to speculate in stocks."

Deng Shirong explained in detail: "For example, Xiao Ming observed that the price of lychees in the market has increased. Xiao Ming also wants to sell lychees to make money, so he went to buy them. The purchase price is 2 yuan/jin, but Xiao Ming only has 100 yuan, which means that he can only buy 50 jin of lychees at most. Xiao Ming thinks that the money earned from these 50 jin is too little.

So he borrowed 900 yuan from someone, and added his own 100 yuan, which is exactly 1,000 yuan, to buy 500 jin of goods, and then return the money to others after selling them.

If the price of lychees in the market rises to 3 yuan/jin at this time, Xiao Ming will Ming made 500 yuan, which is 5 times the profit of the principal.

But if Xiao Ming buys the goods, the price of lychees will fall to 1.8 yuan per catty. At this time, the 500 catties of lychees in Xiao Ming's hand are only worth 900 yuan, which means that Xiao Ming's own 100 yuan has been lost.

If the price of lychees continues to fall, the loss will be to the part of the money that Xiao Ming borrowed from others. The other party will quit and ask Xiao Ming to either sell it immediately to pay back the money or quickly pay some more money as a deposit to avoid losing his money.

Xiao Ming is unwilling to lose money and sells the lychees If Xiao Ming goes to the market but cannot pay, others will force him to sell the lychees and take back the money he borrowed. In the stock market, Xiao Ming's situation is called a margin call.

If the price of lychees falls too fast, the person will not have time to sell at 1.8 yuan/jin, and will eventually sell at 1.6 yuan/jin, taking back 800 yuan. Then Xiao Ming will not only lose all his 100 yuan, but also owe others 100 yuan.

This is the so-called capital allocation.

As the saying goes, if you walk too much at night, you will inevitably encounter ghosts. He borrowed money to speculate in stocks, which is really risky. It's too high. Sooner or later, it will be ruined. "

Deng Yuntai suddenly realized: "So that's the case. Then it's really too risky to do this. It's no different from gambling."

Deng Shirong nodded and said: "For ordinary people, stock trading is actually gambling. The only difference is that gambling is illegal, while stock trading is legal."

Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping nodded frequently after hearing this. With the concept that stock trading is gambling, they will definitely stay away from stock trading in the future. No matter who persuades them to enter the stock market, I'm afraid they won't listen.

After all, what their father hates most is gambling, and he even ordered the whole family to ban gambling. As sons and daughters-in-law, they can't disobey their father.

At this time, the waiter also started to serve the dishes, and Deng Shirong stopped talking about this topic. Anyway, he had already given his eldest son a vaccination. Based on his understanding of his eldest son, he should never touch stocks in his life.

Next, the family began to enjoy the food.

When they finished their meal and were ready to leave, the next table was still drinking vigorously!

Although Deng Shirong knew what happened to that guy, they were just casual acquaintances, so he naturally wouldn't bother to persuade others. Stock traders are just like gamblers, and it's hard for them to listen to others' advice.

Let's not talk about the distant past. Let's take Yang Baiwan as an example. He made a lot of money in the stock market, but among all his relatives and friends, none of them could make money with him. Of course, it's not that he didn't want to lead, but that his teammates were really hard to lead!

Once, when he made money by buying electric vacuum stocks, Yang Baiwan also helped a cousin of his buy 4,000 yuan of stocks.

Not long after, the stock price rose four times, and he called his cousin to inform him: "You've made four times the money, will you sell it? It may rise again later."

The cousin made the decision to sell and said she would never regret it.

But when the stock price rose to 2,300 yuan per share, she regretted it and complained, "I don't understand, and you didn't stop me."

When the Shanghai Composite Index rose to 1,500 points in 1992, Yang Baiwan invited his relatives to his home and persuaded them to let go, because the stock market was very dangerous at that time and could plummet at any time, but in the end no one listened to his advice.

After the stock market plummeted and lost money, these relatives and friends turned against him again.

So, for ordinary people, stock speculation and gambling can really be equated, and only a very small number of people can remain rational.

After leaving the Peace Hotel, Deng Shirong and his family visited the Bund and watched the night view of this "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands".

This Bund is indeed the most prosperous place in Shanghai, with a constant stream of traffic. The ancient buildings have become extremely beautiful under the background of various lights. Such a night view can be called beautiful even in later generations, let alone in this era.

Deng Yuntai, Zhang Xiuping and the two children were all amazed.

Today, Nanning has not yet developed, and there is no night view worth seeing. Even in the tourist city of Guilin, before the Two Rivers and Four Lakes Project was completed, there was no night view worth seeing.

So it was the first time for Deng Yuntai and others to see such a beautiful night view.

The family stayed at the Bund until after ten o'clock in the evening, and then returned to the Peace Hotel to take a shower and sleep.

In the next few days, Deng Shirong's family wandered around randomly, and went wherever there was lively and fun. Anyway, everything was decided by Xiao Dong'er and Dongzi. They said where to go to play, and the main thing was to accompany.

This prosperous Shanghai, after all, has many fun places. After a week, Xiao Dong'er and Dongzi had a lot of fun.

Even Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping had a great time. This trip to Shanghai has broadened their horizons for the couple.

…

Wuyue Square.

Spicy girl hot pot.

Li Shuqin looked at the huge hot pot restaurant owned by her old classmate and said in shock: "Oh my God, Sister Zhu, your hot pot restaurant is too big, isn't it? Are all the hot pot restaurants in other places this big?" "

Deng Yunzhu shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course not. This hot pot restaurant is the head office of our spicy hot pot restaurant. It should be larger in area. The branches in other places are only two to three hundred square meters, and only about one-tenth of the area of ​​this hot pot restaurant."

Li Shuqin nodded and said: "Two to three hundred square meters is enough. The area of ​​the main store like this is too big. I guess a lot of space is wasted, right?"

Deng Yunzhu said with a smile: "It is true that 80% of the space is idle, but it doesn't matter. This is my own shop, and I don't have to pay rent. These spaces are only temporarily unused. In the future, the business will become more and more prosperous." , these idle spaces will be used sooner or later.”

Li Shuqin was shocked when she heard this and asked: "Sister Zhu, this shop belongs to you, what about this Wuyue Plaza?"

Deng Yunzhu smiled and said, "It's also from my family."

Li Shuqin's eyes widened, and then she gave a thumbs up and said, "Sister Zhu, I'm really convinced, and I will follow you from now on."

Deng Yunzhu said happily: "With you, a top student, joining me, my hot pot chain store will be even more powerful. Your main task next is to help me come up with a practical hot pot restaurant management system that can be used no matter where I am." "

Li Shuqin said confidently: "Okay, just leave it to me."

Next, Deng Yunzhu talked about job benefits with her old classmates.

As the general manager of La Meizi hotpot chain store, Deng Yunzhu's treatment is naturally not low. The salary of a few hundred yuan is second, and the main thing is to give his old classmates a 1% profit dividend. This is the real big deal.

After all, based on the current revenue of the Lameizi hotpot chain store, it is no problem to make a profit of two to three million yuan a year. If a profit dividend of 1% is given, that is twenty to thirty thousand yuan, which is not a small amount of money.

What's more, as the number of chain stores increases, this number will continue to grow in the future. It is estimated that in a few years, Li Shuqin's annual income will exceed 100,000 yuan, which is already a very impressive income for a migrant worker. .

Li Shuqin was really moved when she heard this. Sister Zhu really had nothing to say to her. She refused and said: "Sister Zhu, if you offer me a salary of several hundred yuan, it is already an excellent treatment. I will give it to you." I am working in the Finance Bureau, and I don’t know how long it will take to get such a high salary.

There is no need to pay profit dividends. I haven’t made any contribution, so I really can’t afford it! "

Deng Yunzhu smiled and said: "There is no need to refuse. You, the general manager, hold a position with less than one person and more than ten thousand people. It is appropriate to give you profit dividends. As for saying that you have not made any achievements, I believe it is only a matter of time. You graduated from a key university." A top student, I will definitely not be disappointed.”

Li Shuqin said excitedly: "Thank you, Sister Zhu, for your consideration. I promise that I will not let you down. I will manage this hot pot chain store for you."

At this point, Li Shuqin, the general manager, began to take office. She majored in management in college. Her ability to stand out in a school like Songshan High School with extremely average teaching staff and to be admitted to a well-ranked key university is enough to prove her excellence. .

After entering university, Li Shuqin felt like a duck in water.

After four years of college career, she once again stood out among her classmates and became the best graduate in the class.

Now she has taken up the position of general manager right after graduation. Although she is under a lot of pressure, she is not afraid at all because she has the goods in her stomach.

With her joining the Lameizi hotpot chain, I believe it will skyrocket.
