Rebirth 80: Start by earning money to build a brick house

"Director Li, are we going to hold such a big event in Jinchang?"

After Director Li explained the quota in detail, Zhang Ziming looked surprised.

The big leader’s ideas are very advanced!

"Isn't it surprising? I feel surprised too. Although we have proposed a market economy in the past two years, how can we take any action? Shouldn't we still carry out production according to the plan? This time it may be true."

Director Li explained empathetically.

What is a market economy?

It's been two years since I mentioned it, and no one can explain it.

Once explained, it is easy to move closer to capitalism.

If the ideological line is wrong, it can be fatal.

This is different from doing business as a self-employed person. Self-employed people are neither encouraged nor discouraged.

And once written instructions are formed, it will be ironclad proof.

"The great leader is so courageous!" Zhang Ziming nodded in admiration.

Even if he is reborn, he still has to praise the leader's courage.

This kind of courage is not something ordinary people can have.

"I'll leave you to tell you, the big boss worked in the southern city. He followed his father's generation to fight south in his early years. Now his father's generation has retired and returned to his hometown in the north, and he has also come back to serve."

Director Li has a wide range of sources of information, and he has already learned all the information about the new leader.

"Oh, so that's it!" Zhang Ziming sighed.

There has never been any trade fair in Jinchang area.

In his previous life, Zhang Ziming had no memory of whether there was such a trade fair.

In this life, you have to seize this opportunity.

"Yes, this is our first trade fair in Jinchang, and the procurement and sales pattern may change greatly in the future."

As the executive deputy director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Director Li has some insights into economic development, otherwise he would not have interacted with Zhang Ziming, a self-employed businessman.

You know, at this time, the North still looked down upon the self-employed.

Unlike the South, the degree of economic openness is higher.

For example, the Shekou Development Zone in Shenzhen City, since its establishment in 1979, has begun pioneering reform experiments. Not only have the employment system, salary system, and cadre system been reformed, but a joint-stock commercial bank founded by enterprises has even been established.

It cannot be denied, and it has naturally become a magic weapon to attract foreign businessmen, especially Hong Kong businessmen.

"Director Li, if self-employed individuals are allowed to participate in this trade fair, will there be much resistance?"

Zhang Ziming asked tentatively.

Although the big leaders have advanced reform experience in the South, the key is whether they can be implemented.

In the memory of previous lives, it seems that it was not until 1983 that Jinchang City ushered in the peak of self-employed development.

"Can it be small? There is a lot of resistance. Many leaders have the same idea. Since the government organizes the exhibition, it is naturally to showcase state-owned units. It is natural."

Director Li is now on the top team, which is actually not easy.

After all, being able to support the development of self-employed people comes with great risks.

"Director Li, how many self-employed businesses will participate in the first trade fair of Jinchang City?"

Zhang Ziming was beating his heart.

If only Mingxin Clothing Store participates, it will be a target for all enterprises in the city.

If there are other self-employed people participating, at least there will be someone we can share the joys and sorrows with.

"Uh... not much at the moment..." Director Li frowned, a breath stuck in his throat, and he hesitated when speaking.

The embarrassment could not be more obvious.

"What do you mean there aren't many at the moment?" Zhang Ziming thought to himself.

A bad premonition.

The fact that there aren’t many at the moment means that only a self-employed person like me is participating, right?

It's not impossible to participate, and it's not bad to be a target. You have to give me some sweetness, right?

Otherwise, what should you do if you, the officials, have finished your struggle and are left with chicken feathers all over the place?

"Ziming, don't worry. Although there are not many self-employed people participating at the moment, the leaders will invite some regular self-employed people from provincial cities to come and participate."

Director Li also saw Zhang Ziming's hesitation and hurriedly added.

The scene always needs to be maintained.

Although many cadres still cannot understand the significance of this kind of trade fair, it must not be held only for state-owned units to sell themselves and boast.

There are a lot of self-employed people in Jinchang area, but most of them are dealers who buy and sell. Guoxiang is affiliated with some state-owned units. There are too few people like Zhang Ziming who have production factories.

Zhang Ziming must participate. This is Director Li's political task.

"Director Li, I will definitely participate in such a good opportunity, just keep your heart in mind." Zhang Ziming chuckled and expressed his attitude.

If nothing else, just talking about Director Li's long-term care, Zhang Ziming should also come to the platform.

Isn't it just a trade fair in Jinchang area? Can it be as powerful as the Canton Fair in Guangcheng?

Just take advantage of this opportunity to expand the scale.

The factory currently has only [-] female workers, and it is striving to recruit more female workers, including villagers from Dalinzhai Village, who can also come to work in the garment factory.

The factories in the village are all heavy work, and all the male villagers are assigned to it; but on the contrary, my own garment factory has female workers. Who dares to underestimate the power of half the sky?

These female workers most likely earn more than their male counterparts.

After hearing Zhang Ziming's assurance, Director Li's anxious heart finally calmed down.

The biggest concern is that the trade fair will become a big gathering of state-owned units.

Even if only one decent self-employed person participates, it still saves face.

Otherwise, how can we have the confidence to withstand the stubborn attack in the future?Economic development requires the activity of self-employed individuals.

In particular, some of the educated youth who have returned to the city have not yet completed their work. If these educated youth can find their own way out, the pressure will be much less.

"Ziming, then I will officially report the Mingxin Garment Factory, and I will give you a formal invitation letter then." Director Li said with a hearty smile as his stone fell to the ground.

"Okay, no problem." Zhang Ziming assured him, patting his chest.

"It's still early for the trade fair. You can also prepare clothing samples for the exhibition alone. All units in the city will participate."

Director Li gave detailed instructions.

"Director Li, just don't worry, we have confidence." Zhang Ziming was full of confidence.

Isn't it just a trade fair organized by the prefecture-level city itself? There is nothing to be nervous about.

After leaving Director Li's office, Zhang Ziming said hello to Feng Yinghao before leaving the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

When I returned to the clothing store, it was almost closing time.

But before I entered the store, I heard a shrew’s voice outside the door:

"Where's your boss? Call your boss out. I want to see your boss!"

Zhang Ziming frowned, is there anyone here to cause trouble?

They come, the security.

Pushing the door open, he calmly shouted: "I am Zhang Ziming, the boss here, who are you?"
