Chapter Eleven Preparing to Open a Store

  "What's the road to wealth, let's hear it" If you say that among these five people, the one who lacks money the most is not the orphaned farmer "The Condor Hero" Yang Guo, but rather the employed Liu Yi.

  The gatekeeper's job was not well-paid, but he was a kind and generous person with many friends, so he spent money lavishly. Therefore, when Fu Xin said that he had found a way to make a fortune, Liu Yi immediately showed great interest and hastily asked him about it.

  "Haha, I don't know if you've heard of reform and opening up?" Fu Xin said with a smile.

  "Aren't you talking nonsense? It was proposed at the 3rd Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee, and it's been broadcast every day at the factory gate! But this is a new policy from above, we're far apart from it, what does it have to do with us making money?" Chen Guanyu, that fat guy, usually didn't speak seriously to Fu Xin, and now that there were no outsiders around, he rolled his eyes slightly and said to Fu Xin with a hint of disdain.

  "Haha, fatty, you don't know this one, do you? Listen up! This policy is not only related to us, but also very much related to us. It's a matter of whether you can eat meat every day in the future!" Fu Xin said bluntly, tapping his chopsticks on the ceramic bowl, signaling everyone to listen carefully, especially Jiang Cheng who was still "struggling".

  "What? Impossible!" At this time, the taciturn "Divine Eagle Hero" Yang Guo suddenly interjected a sentence.

  "Hehe..." Fu Xin smiled slightly, but his mind had already wandered off into his own predictions about history...

  Xu clearly remembers that half a year later, in a place called Wanxian which was still part of Sichuan Province at the time, a man had just been released from prison. Two months later, this man followed the footsteps of the new policy and borrowed 300 yuan to establish the first private joint-stock enterprise on the Chinese mainland after reform and opening up - Zhongde Store.

  This man will soon be the richest man in mainland China. He successfully completed the largest single barter trade in Sino-Russian civilian trade history, exchanging over 800 railcars of daily necessities, light industrial products and mechanical equipment from more than 300 Chinese factories for four Tupolev Tu-154M airliners and aviation equipment worth about one aircraft from Russia (the former Soviet Union). He then cooperated with the Russian International Satellite Organization to launch a series of television broadcasting satellites called "Apstar", engaging in space communications business with the United States and other Western countries.

  Now Fu Xin had a new idea, which was to start China's first private enterprise after the reform and opening-up before this expert.

  Although doing so is risky and that talented person was once caught, Fu Xin has made up his mind. Life rarely gives you a second chance to fight back, and since heaven has given him the opportunity to start anew, if he doesn't seize this chance to do well, it would be unforgivable to the people and the party.

  ……

  Seeing that everyone was still confused, Fu Xin didn't sell the key anymore and explained: "To put it this way, reform and opening up is a crucial choice that determines the fate of our generation. It is an essential path for developing socialism with Chinese characteristics and achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  Only reform and opening up can save China, only reform and opening up can develop China, reform and opening up is the way for our country to become strong, we must unswervingly adhere to reform and opening up.

  "Perhaps I'm being a bit too serious, you may not believe me now, but after several decades, when you look back on my words, you won't question them. History will prove everything!" Pinyin Xin saw that the crowd was skeptical of his policy declarations and felt somewhat dissatisfied, so he immediately added a few more sentences to drive home his point.

  "There's no need to believe or not believe, the policy above is correct, I believe it! But I still don't understand what relationship reform and opening up has with us getting rich and eating braised pork every day." Yang Guo nodded his head, his family had been persecuted by the landlord's family in the past, so he had a strong faith in New China, and he nodded and said.

  At that time, people's understanding of reform and opening up was really not deep enough. Fu Xin sighed and said, "Well, it seems you haven't carefully understood the new policy. What is reform and opening up? Reform and opening up means liberating and developing social productive forces, enhancing comprehensive national power, further emancipating people's minds, and building socialism with Chinese characteristics. Forget it, forget it, talking to you guys is like playing a lute to a cow. To put it simply, having the policy of reform and opening up means we can start private businesses and allow private commerce." Fu Xin looked at everyone still with a confused face, and under his agitated thoughts, he didn't explain the policy of reform and opening up anymore, but directly stated the result.

  "You mean we're going to do business? Merchants are really rich... Huizhou merchants, Shanxi merchants..." Jiang Cheng finally stopped his chopsticks and suddenly interjected.

  "Hehe, Orange sister was right, I meant going into business. There's another phrase that Pinyin didn't say: doing business doesn't necessarily mean having money. In the 21st century, who knows how many tears will be shed because of reckless entrepreneurship? However, in this era of extreme material scarcity, Pinyin believes that as long as one dares to take action, they can definitely make money! So, there's no need to say the rest, lest it crush everyone's confidence."

  "Oh, then tell me, how do we get it done?" Chen Guanyu, this fat guy, is really a born businessman. In his past life, he was already a big entrepreneur. As soon as he heard about doing business, he immediately became interested.

  Fu Xin thought for a moment, sorted out his thoughts and said: "I think, what about running a factory, doing real industry, or transportation, it's not very realistic, we don't have that kind of capital, nor can we get government support. However, if we go to open a store like a supply and marketing cooperative, it will definitely work!"

  "That's right, it should have been done long ago. I see those people in the supply and marketing society, each one acting like a big shot, they should be taken down! Let's make all the money ourselves!" Jiang Cheng thought of how he was bullied when he went to the supply and marketing society to buy something, and immediately clenched his fist, saying angrily.

  "Hehe, Sister Tangerine, let's not think about taking down the supply and marketing agency for now, or we'll be labeled as 'opposing socialism', but if we can make money and put it in our own pockets, that's still doable!" Fuxin chuckled.

  "How are we going to do this? If we rush in, we'll definitely get caught!" Liu Yi was a man of his word and had a generous spirit, but when it came to government affairs, he was still very cautious. Otherwise, during the 1983 crackdown, he wouldn't have just been sentenced to thirty years in prison. With his prestige as a powerful figure in Yicheng's underworld, he would have been executed during that period of strict law enforcement!
