Literary Master 1978

It was already mid-May, and Lin Chaoyang's family walked out of the police station in a neat row.

Lin Erchun held a small card in his hand and looked at it curiously, "There's nothing special about this thing!"

"The style is not important, the important thing is that it will be convenient to go out in the future." Lin Chaoyang said to him.

In the 1980s, the domestic economy became increasingly active with the development of reform and opening up, and the flow of people in various regions became increasingly frequent.

Last year, the Ministry of Public Security put the issuance of a unified identity certificate on the agenda. On April 6 this year, the State Council promulgated the "Provisional Regulations on Resident Identity Cards of the People's Republic of China", which stipulates that from now on, my country will implement the resident identity card system to manage residents' household registration documents.

Yanjing is the capital, and the pilot work of issuing resident identity cards must naturally start here first. Lin Chaoyang's family responded to the government's call and made two trips in the past two days, and finally got the identity cards for all the family members.

After the founding of New China, ordinary people had to get a letter of introduction when they went out to do things.

In recent years, ordinary people need letters of introduction to contact work in other units, to stay in other places, to receive remittances, and sometimes even to buy train tickets, which is very inconvenient.

Moreover, there are many types of work permits and letters of introduction, without a unified format, and they can only be used within a specific range. Not only can they not effectively prove that "I am me", but they are also easily forged and replaced, and criminals can take advantage of loopholes.

Now with the ID card, all these problems are solved, which is why Lin Chaoyang said "it is convenient to go out".

Listening to his explanation, Lin Erchun nodded, "That's right!"

He stared at the ID card again. The first generation of ID cards used polyester film sealing, single-page card type, 15-digit code. Their family was one of the first batch of ID cards in Yanjing, and the information on the ID card was still filled in manually.

The registration items include name, gender, ethnicity, date of birth, address and validity period. Lin Erchun looked at the red stamp of "Yanjing Public Security Bureau Xicheng Branch" and inexplicably felt a sense of awe for fate.

As early as last year, the old couple settled in Yanjing as relatives.

Lin Erchun had been a farmer all his life. He had never thought that he could become a citizen of the capital when he was old?

He weighed such a small card and suddenly felt that it seemed to be very heavy. He couldn't help but feel fortunate for his wisdom and bravery in the past.

The old Lin family's ancestral tomb was emitting green smoke. He had a great contribution in lighting a cigarette!

After sighing for a while, Lin Erchun was in a hurry to leave. Lin Chaoyang called him: "It's noon now, go home and have a meal!"

Lin Erchun had walked a few meters away and waved his hand without looking back, "I have to go to see a house in the afternoon, so I'll just have one on the way."

Lin Chaoyang felt that Comrade Erchun was really rejuvenated. This is the rhythm of becoming a real estate tycoon! At the very least, he is a real estate giant.

Back to Xiaoliubukou Hutong, Zhang Guiqin went to make lunch and Tao Yushu went to take care of the children. In order to apply for an ID card, she took a day off today.

Lin Chaoyang leisurely wandered around the East Courtyard. Comrade Erchun had talked to him about the renovation of the East Courtyard a while ago.

Before, because Xiao Dongdong was too young, he was afraid that the noise of the large-scale construction at home would scare him, so the East Courtyard had been left there.

Now, under the management of Lin Erchun, the renovation of the East Courtyard has finally started. This move will cost at least 18,000 yuan, enough to buy a three-entry courtyard.

The East Courtyard has now become a construction site. Lin Chaoyang walked around and came out. Just after passing the small door, he saw Du Feng and Tao Yucheng walking into the yard.

"Hey! How come you two have time to come together?" Lin Chaoyang asked with a smile.

After greeting them, Lin Chaoyang invited them into the house. Seeing their posture, he knew that they must be here to see him today, so he asked, "Are you here to see me?"

Tao Yucheng looked at Du Feng, and Du Feng spoke first, "Yes! Big brother wants to open a video hall."

"Huh?"

Lin Chaoyang was surprised. When he had dinner at Tao's house before, his brother-in-law had talked about this matter, but Tao's father clearly denied it.

Tao Yucheng looked at his expression and said, "Don't look at me like that, it was Yumo who told him about this."

Du Feng also explained, "Brother-in-law, it was indeed Yumo who talked to me about it."

This time, Lin Chaoyang was even more confused.

Du Feng went on to explain: "Yumo also told me that my uncle didn't let my eldest brother look for me. But this is what I think. Instead of letting others make the money, why can't I let my family make it?

Brother-in-law, you don't know that my video hall has been open for more than a month, and the business is good. Last month, I made more than 8,000 yuan after deducting all the expenses.

If I continue like this, I can get my investment back in two months, and I can make at least 100,000 or 80,000 this year.

As a result, it's only been a month, and other video halls have appeared on the street. There is one in Dongcheng now.

I asked people to scan Yanjing again, and there are two more that are about to open.

Good guy, it's like poking a hornet's nest, they really watched me make money..."

Du Feng couldn't help complaining when talking about his competitors with a keen sense of smell. He thought he could make a year or two with the first-mover advantage, but he didn't expect that there were too many smart people in Yanjing City, and he didn't give him the opportunity to grow.

"... Yumo happened to tell me that day that my eldest brother wanted to open a video parlor. I thought about it and came up with a good idea.

Don't they want to open a video parlor? Then I will open one too. You open one, and I will open two. Since we can't make quick money, let's compete on scale."

Du Feng said this with a fierce tone, and then said:

"Brother has this great idea. If we really want to open more video studios, I can't do it alone.

My idea is to find a few more people to form a partnership. I will take a share of each video studio, and then the management rights will be handed over to these partners, and they can share more of the profits.

Brother-in-law, what do you think of my idea? "

Lin Chaoyang was a little surprised when he heard this. It seemed that Du Feng had indeed grown a lot in the past two years.

"It's a good idea."

After getting his approval, Du Feng became happy and said, "Brother-in-law, you also think this method will work, right? I know it will definitely work."

Lin Chaoyang said: "The biggest advantage of video halls compared to cinemas is the film source. Audiences can see movies here that cannot be seen in cinemas. This also applies to your other competitors."

Du Feng understood everything and immediately understood the meaning of Lin Chaoyang's words.

As the scale expands, the movies in the video hall will definitely change every month. If he really can open twenty or thirty video halls in Yanjing, he will need two to three hundred video tapes every month.

This scale is not small. If you go to Guangdong to buy video tapes, you will have a certain advantage in selecting film sources. If someone else buys ten video tapes, they can get at most ten movies.

But if he buys 200 movies, even if he buys a few more movies per movie, he will still be inferior to his competitors in terms of film supply, unless they ignore the cost.

Moreover, this can also dilute the cost of the video tape. After all, your video tape can only be kept in one store for a month at most, but my video tape can be rotated in dozens of my stores.

Thinking of this, Du Feng suddenly became happy, "Brother-in-law, you are still far-sighted. I only thought about opening more stores, but I didn't even think of this relationship."

Lin Chaoyang smiled and said nothing.

After Du Feng was happy, he looked at Tao Yucheng, who had been silent for the whole time. "Brother said he wanted to open a video hall near Yanda, which is a good idea. College students are the main group of people watching movies, and they are willing to spend money to watch movies. , the business might be better than that in East and West City.”

Tao Yucheng asked: "Chaoyang, do you think it can be done?"

"Okay, college students are indeed willing to spend money on spiritual entertainment."

Tao Yucheng became excited when he heard this, "With your words, I feel relieved. I will resign from the school tomorrow."

Lin Chaoyang said at this time: "You can't resign."

"Why?" Tao Yucheng looked at him puzzled.

Lin Chaoyang thought he knew his uncle. He might have a bright mind and a brain for going to the sea, but he definitely didn't have the execution ability to do business.

Although Lin Chaoyang always talks about lying down and eating salted fish, compared with his uncle, he is just a younger brother.

For people like him who want to go overseas to do business, it is okay to make suggestions from behind, but not to be the boss.

But he definitely couldn't say this directly, as it would hurt his uncle's self-esteem too much.

"You are the only one in your family who has a job. Now that Xiwen and Xiwu are older, apart from the film sources, the video studio is a little more troublesome. The rest is basically daily management. I think my sister-in-law can take care of it.

With my sister-in-law's ability, it will definitely not be a problem. "

Listening to Lin Chaoyang's words, Du Feng also felt that there was some truth in it, and said to Tao Yucheng: "Yes, brother. My sister-in-law is idle at home, so it will save you from resigning."

Tao Yucheng instinctively objected: "Your sister-in-law can't do it. She's a lesbian, how can she do business?"

Du Feng said without thinking: "Brother, my sister-in-law is actually more suitable for business than you."

As soon as he said these words, Tao Yucheng's eyes were filled with resentment and a hurt expression on his face.

Realizing that he had made a mistake, Du Feng hurriedly added: "What I mean is the division of labor in the family. If you go to work, the family's income is guaranteed. Even if the video studio stops making money in the future, my sister-in-law will go home to be a housewife at worst, but you Once the job is gone, it’s gone.”

"Bah, bah, bah! Crow's mouth!" Tao Yucheng said with a gloomy look.

"This is called not thinking about victory, but thinking about defeat first. Only in this way is it safe."

Tao Yucheng looked at Lin Chaoyang unwillingly, "Chaoyang, what do you think? Your sister-in-law is a housewife, what does she know about doing business in the sea?"

Lin Chaoyang really wanted to find an excuse that would not hurt his uncle's self-esteem but also allow him to accept the reality.

"Brother, you also have to think about your sister-in-law. She has been taking care of the children at home for ten years. I took care of the children at home for two or three months, and I felt like I was tied up.

The video studio is really not that difficult. I think you can let your sister-in-law try it first, which is safer.

You can think of it this way, if the video hall thing is completed, won't you have less burden to go to sea in the future? "

Lin Chaoyang's words successfully aroused Tao Yucheng's guilt for his wife, and they also made sense.

Tao Yucheng pursed his lips and was speechless. He felt very depressed.

He had been thinking about starting a business overseas for such a long time, but he didn't expect that his wife would take him away from him in the end.

Observing his expression, Lin Chaoyang felt that it was almost done, and asked again: "How to solve the problem of funds?"

My eldest uncle has always been a moonlighter, and even if my sister-in-law Zhao Li saves some money, she will definitely not be able to support the opening of a video studio.

Hearing this, Tao Yucheng put his mind aside for the time being and said to him: "I will contribute 30% of the money for this video hall, and Du Feng will contribute 70%. I... and your sister-in-law will be responsible for the management, and we will get 40% of the profit."

Lin Chaoyang nodded.

"As for money, your sister-in-law and I have one thousand and fifty, and we will borrow more than three thousand from my parents. We will pay them back when we make money."

"Dad didn't agree with this matter in the first place. Let Yushu take the money for you."

"How can that be possible!"

People in the north are always used to doing business alone. They are afraid that some unreasonable relatives will get involved and disrupt the business, and they are also embarrassed because they think it will cause trouble to others.

People in the south are completely different in this regard. The root cause is that the influence of clan etiquette in the two places is incomparable.

The influence of clan etiquette in the two places has its own advantages and disadvantages, but in terms of starting a business, the relationship between southerners with clan as the bond is obviously more advantageous, and the commercial wave of decades in the future has proved this.

Lin Chaoyang understands this point, so he does not exclude relatives from doing business together, but there is a premise that they must be brothers and settle accounts clearly.

"I lent it to you, not that I won't let you pay it back. Just don't sell me out in front of Dad." Lin Chaoyang said.

Du Feng said faintly: "Brother-in-law, how much money does my uncle have? He can take out the money to open the video hall, either you borrowed it or I borrowed it."

Lin Chaoyang simply said: "Then say you borrowed it."

Du Feng: ...

The two of them are doing business together, and Du Feng lends money to Tao Yucheng. It's ridiculous to tell others.

Lin Chaoyang smiled and said: "Just say that the capital share of the eldest brother is less, and the management share is more!"

"That's a way."

After asking for advice, Tao Yucheng and Du Feng left happily.

Lin Chaoyang looked at the backs of the two and couldn't help sighing. First, the younger brother-in-law, then his father, and then the older brother-in-law, all of them are going to go into the sea to be the tide.

This era is all waves!
