In the blink of an eye, it was already mid-May, and Lin Chaoyang's family walked out of the police station.
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, what is important 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 from various regions became increasingly frequent.
The Ministry of Public Security put the introduction of a unified identity certificate on the agenda last year. On April 6 this year, the State Council promulgated the "Trial Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Resident Identity Cards". The regulations stipulate that from now on, our country will implement the resident identity card system to carry out resident identification.
Household certificate management.
Yanjing is the capital, so the pilot work of issuing resident ID cards naturally starts here. Lin Chaoyang's family responded to the government's call and made two trips in the past two days, and finally got all the ID cards for the family.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, ordinary people had to issue a letter of introduction when going out to do business.
These days, ordinary people need a letter of introduction to contact work units abroad, to stay abroad, to receive remittances, and sometimes even to buy tickets by train, which is very inconvenient.
Moreover, there are many types of work permits, letters of introduction, etc., and there is no unified format, and they can only be used within a specific scope. Not only can they not effectively prove "I am who I am", they can also be easily forged, replaced, and exploited by criminals.
Now that I have an ID card, all these problems have been solved. This is why Lin Chaoyang said that "it's easier to go out."
Listening to his explanation, Lin Erchun nodded, "That makes sense!"
He stared at the ID card again. The first-generation ID card was sealed with polyester film, single-page card style, and had a 15-digit code. Their family was among the first to apply for ID cards in Yanjing. The number on the ID card was
The information is still filled in manually.
The registration items included name, gender, ethnicity, date of birth, address and validity period. Lin Erchun looked at the red stamp of "Yanjing Municipal Public Security Bureau Xicheng Branch" where he went to work, and felt a sense of awe of fate in his heart.
As early as last year, the old couple settled in Yanjing as relatives.
He, Lin Erchun, had been a farmer all his life. How had he ever thought that he could become a citizen of the capital when he got old?
Holding such a small card in his hand, he suddenly felt that it seemed to be of great importance, and he couldn't help but feel grateful for his wisdom and prowess back then.
There is green smoke coming out of the old Lin family's ancestral grave, and he lit up the cigarette to great effect!
After sighing for a while, Lin Erchun hurriedly left. Lin Chaoyang called him: "It's already noon, let's go home and have a bite to eat!"
Lin Erchun had already walked a few meters away and waved his hand without looking back, "I have to go see a house in the afternoon. I'll have to deal with him on the way."
Lin Chaoyang felt that Comrade Erchun was really showing off his second spring. This was the time to become a real estate giant! No matter how bad he was, he was still an intermediary giant.
Back at Xiaoliubukou Alley, Zhang Guiqin went to make lunch and Tao Yushu went to take care of her children. In order to apply for an ID card, she took a day off today.
Lin Chaoyang walked around the East Courtyard leisurely. Comrade Erchun talked to him about the renovation of the East Courtyard a while ago.
Previously, because Xiaodongdong was too young and was afraid of being frightened by the large-scale construction work at home, the east courtyard had been left there.
Now, under the leadership of Lin Erchun, the renovation of the east courtyard has finally begun. This move will cost at least 18,000 yuan, which is enough to buy a three-in-one courtyard.
The east courtyard was now a construction site. Lin Chaoyang walked around and came out. As soon as he passed the small gate, he saw Du Feng and Tao Yucheng walking into the courtyard.
"Hey! How come you two have time to come together?" Lin Chaoyang asked with a smile.
After saying hello, Lin Chaoyang invited the two people into the house. Seeing their posture, he knew that they must be here to see him today, so he asked: "Come to see me?"
Tao Yucheng looked at Du Feng, and Du Feng spoke first: "Yes! Big brother wants to open a video parlor."
"Um?"
Lin Chaoyang looked surprised. His uncle had talked about this before when we had dinner at Tao's house, 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 started talking to me about it."
Lin Chaoyang was even more confused now.
Du Feng then explained: "Yu Mo also told me about my uncle not letting my eldest brother find me. But I thought about it this way. Instead of letting others earn this money, why can't my own family earn it?
Brother-in-law, you don’t know that my video parlor has been open for more than a month, and the business is good. Last month, I made more than 8,000 yuan despite all the expenses.
Originally, if I continued at this rate, I would be able to make back my capital in two months, and I would be able to earn at least 100,000 to 80,000 yuan this year.
As a result, it has only been a month, and other video parlors have already appeared on the streets, including one in Dongcheng.
I asked Man Yanjing to scan it again, and there are two more that are about to open.
Good guy, it's like poking a hornet's nest, watching me really make money..."
Du Feng said that his competitors with keen sense of smell would inevitably complain a little. He thought he could make a year or two by relying on the first-mover advantage, but he didn't expect that there were too many smart people in Yanjing City, and they didn't give him a chance to develop.
.
"...It just so happened that day Yu Mo told me that my eldest brother wanted to open a video parlor, and I thought about it and came up with a good idea.
Don’t they want to open a video parlor? Then I’ll open one too. You open one, and I’ll open two. Since you can’t make quick money, let’s fight for scale.”
When Du Feng said this, his tone became fierce, and then he 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 in 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 was easy to understand 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. Going to Guangdong to import video tapes will also give you a certain advantage in selecting film sources. If someone else imports ten video tapes, at most ten movies will be available.
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 do not consider 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, "Big brother said he wanted to open a video hall near Yanda, which is a good idea. College students are the main group of moviegoers, 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 flat and eating salted fish, compared with his elder brother-in-law, he is just a younger brother.
If a person like him wants to go overseas to do business, it's okay to make suggestions from behind, but it's not okay 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, the video studio is a little more troublesome except for the film sources. 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, eldest brother. My sister-in-law is also idle at home. This saves 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: "I mean the distribution is based on 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 explanation that would not hurt his uncle's self-esteem and 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 feel like I am tied to death.
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 so long, but he didn't expect that his wife would take him away from him in the end.
Observing his expression, Lin Chaoyang probably 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 take 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. I will pay them back when I make money."
"Dad originally disagreed with this matter. Let Yushu get the money for you."
"How can that be possible?"
Northerners are always used to doing business alone, not only because they are afraid that some unreasonable relatives will get involved and disrupt the business, but also because of human feelings, thinking that they will cause trouble to others.
Southerners are completely different on this point. The fundamental reason is that the influence of clan rituals in the two places is completely different.
The influence of clan rituals has its own advantages and disadvantages in both places, but when it comes to starting a business, southerners' relationship with clan as a bond is obviously more advantageous. The business wave in later decades has proved that
got this point.
Lin Chaoyang understands this, so he does not object to business partnerships between relatives, but there is a prerequisite that brothers must settle accounts clearly.
"I lent it to you. It's not like I won't let you pay it back. Just don't sell me to dad." Lin Chaoyang said.
Du Feng said quietly: "Brother-in-law, how much money does the eldest brother have? Can my uncle not know? The money he can use to open a video studio is either borrowed by you or borrowed by me."
Lin Chaoyang simply said: "Then just say you borrowed it."
Du Feng:......
The two of them were doing business together, and Du Feng lent money to Tao Yucheng, which was ridiculous even if he told it.
Lin Chaoyang smiled and said: "If the eldest brother's capital share is less, and the management share is more, it's over!"
"That's a good idea."
After asking about the plan, Tao Yucheng and Du Feng left happily.
Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the backs of the two of them. First it was his brother-in-law, then his father, and then his elder brother-in-law. All of them were about to go to sea and become trendsetters.
This great era is all about waste!
