1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 617
Qu Xiaowei going to sea?

Lin Weimin looked at him in surprise, no, brother, do you not know much about your attributes?

"Well done, what are you doing in the sea?" Lin Weimin asked.

Qu Xiaowei had a fighting spirit on his face, "The old man is on a tour to the south, and the domestic economic situation is very good. I feel that I am a bit inferior in the cultural center, and I want to go to the sea to do something big!"

Liu Haiyan, who was picking vegetables, heard his movement and scolded: "Do big things, do big things, what big things can you do? Look at the businesses you want? Whether it's a food stall or a restaurant, that's called doing big things?"

Qu Xiaowei was not angry when his wife dismantled him, and retorted: "Which entrepreneur didn't start from a humble beginning? You can't look down on small businesses!"

After he finished speaking, he turned to Lin Weimin and asked, "Weimin, among our group of friends, you are the one with the most active mind. What do you think of my idea?"

Lin Weimin shook his head, "Not so good!"

Qu Xiaowei was excitedly looking forward to Lin Weimin's answer, but he didn't expect to be poured cold water on his head, so he couldn't help asking: "Why?"

"You're not a material for business."

Qu Xiaowei was upset, "You are looking down on people."

"Then let me ask you, do you have any specific ideas for opening a restaurant?"

"Yes, I plan to open a Sichuan restaurant. In the past two years, Sichuan restaurants in Yanjing City have been very popular, but most of them are not authentic. I plan to open an authentic Sichuan restaurant. It will definitely be popular."

"Knowing that there are many Sichuan restaurants, you still want to open them? Besides, haven't you ever wondered why their taste is not authentic?"

"why?"

"In order to meet the taste of Yanjing people! Do you think everyone is from Sichuan and Sichuan?"

Qu Xiaowei was tongue-tied when he heard the words, and stood there for a while, before choking out a sentence: "Authentic Sichuan cuisine is also delicious."

"But the improved one is more in line with the taste of Yanjing people."

Lin Weimin hit the point again, Qu Xiaowei opened his mouth, wanting to refute a few words, but couldn't find the angle.

Others watched the conversation between the two, and now persuaded: "Xiaowei, if I want to see it, let's forget it. The work of the cultural center is easy and stable, isn't it great?"

"Yeah, why bother yourself?"

"You don't know how to do business, so don't join in the fun. The children are growing up, and there will be more places to spend money in the future!"

This group of people hurt more and more each other, and Qu Xiaowei's self-esteem and self-confidence suffered an unprecedented blow.

Only Yu Hua wanted to be a conspicuous bag, "I think Xiaowei can give it a try. This trip to the south of the elderly is a good opportunity for those who are interested in shopping malls."

Lin Weimin noticed the restlessness in his words and turned to look at him.

Young man, your thoughts are dangerous!

Qu Xiaowei received solidarity and became more courageous again.

"Yu Hua still has vision!"

He stood up and ran to Yu Hua's side to hook his shoulders and put his back on his shoulders. The two whispered together, as if they were discussing a plan to go to sea.

"Let me tell you, your Sichuan restaurant idea is not good."

"Why can't it work?"

"Ms. Lin is right. There are too many Sichuan restaurants in Yanjing City. This is homogeneous competition."

"The more stores open, the more customers there are."

"You can guarantee that you will be able to compete with others? Opening a restaurant has too high a requirement for chefs. If the chefs are not good at skills, can the business be good? And it is too much investment to open a Sichuan restaurant!"

"If you don't open a Sichuan restaurant, what will you open?"

“Grill place!”

"Barbecue restaurant?"

"That's right, a barbecue restaurant. Believe me, there is definitely a market for a barbecue restaurant than a Sichuan restaurant. And the investment is small, and the difficulty of opening it is also low."

Lin Weimin looked at the backs of these two people, and for some reason, two classic images popped up in his mind.

Crouching dragon and phoenix chicks.

Until the meal, the two of them were still chatting about their business experience on the dining table, ignoring the strange eyes of everyone on the table, and Liu Haiyan's white eyes were going to fly to the sky.

"Well, from this point of view, the barbecue restaurant is indeed a good business."

After nearly an hour of brainwashing, Yu Hua finally succeeded in changing Qu Xiaowei's ideas.

Liu Haiyan said: "You two, one works in the cultural center and the other in the publishing house, are you next to the barbecue shop?"

"What's wrong with not being next to each other? No one stipulates that you must do your own business when doing business! Besides, I'm a cultural center, what can I do business with?" Qu Xiaowei retorted.

Lin Weimin couldn't help but said, "Haven't you ever thought about doing business that has something to do with culture?"

"Cultural business? For example?" Qu Xiaowei asked nonchalantly.

Lin Weimin suddenly felt speechless, what was he doing with his brain?Is this still in business?
"You're talking!" Seeing that Lin Weimin didn't speak, Qu Xiaowei thought he was trying to trick him, and hurriedly urged him.

Lin Weimin ignored him, and said to Liu Haiyan through him: "Haiyan, the passbook and things at home are all hidden."

Liu Haiyan nodded firmly upon hearing this.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

Qu Xiaowei was full of anger, "Discrimination! You are blatantly discriminatory! I am responding to the government's call, following the trend, and conforming to the general trend of history!"

"The general trend didn't promise to let you make money!" Zheng Guo complained.

Lin Weimin said earnestly: "Xiaowei, do you know that people who do business must have a basic skill?"

"What skill?"

"It will be settled."

"Knowing how to settle accounts? What kind of skill is that?" Qu Xiaowei said disdainfully.

"Then let me ask you, what expenses do you have to spend if you want to open a Sichuan restaurant?"

Qu Xiaowei smiled contemptuously, "What else can I have? Rent, decoration, pots and pans, water and electricity bills, labor, vegetable money..."

After counting a few items, Qu Xiaowei was at a loss for words, "Probably that much."

Lin Weimin pointed at Zheng Guo, "You count him, what else?"

"Do you need gas to open a restaurant? Do you need seasoning for cooking? The dishes can't be sold out, so there is loss? The restaurant has to publicize, and the publicity cost is not too much, right? When regular customers come, you have to wipe it off? When acquaintances come, you have to Is it free? The government department has to take care of it..."

Zheng Guo has always been frugal in life, so it is almost instinctive to settle accounts. How can he save money without haggling over rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea?
Compared with him, Qu Xiaowei basically does not eat the fireworks of the world, does not work hard in the work unit, and does not distinguish the five grains at home.

He clapped his fingers and babbled on Qu Xiaowei's popular science for several minutes, the more Qu Xiaowei listened, the less confident he became, and the more he listened, the more fearful he became.

"Probably that's all. I haven't opened a restaurant before, so that's all I can think of." Zheng Guo finally said.

When he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help applauding.

Compared with Qu Xiaowei's performance, Zheng Guo's performance is a judgment call. In terms of business thinking alone, Zheng Guo has crushed Qu Xiaowei.

Under the applause of everyone, Qu Xiaowei felt a bit depressed, but Yu Hua said at this time: "It's okay, one person counts the disadvantages, two people count the strengths, three cobblers, the best Zhuge Liang, no one is born to do business .”

Yu Hua's encouragement gave Qu Xiaowei some confidence, he looked at Yu Hua like a confidant.

"You still know me best."

Lin Weimin couldn't help but said, "Don't make more trouble, can you?"

"How can this add to the chaos? Now that everyone is doing business in the sea, it is understandable for Xiaowei to want to do business!"

Qu Xiaowei said: "That's right, what can others do but I can't?"

Lin Weimin shook his head helplessly, it wasn't that Qu Xiaowei couldn't do business, but that this guy really didn't show any ability to do business.

A contestant who doesn't ask the price of vegetables when buying vegetables, let him do business, isn't he just waiting to lose money!
"up to you."

Good words are hard to persuade, damn ghost!

Seeing Qu Xiaowei being so stubborn, everyone felt helpless, this is not turning back if you don't hit the south wall!
Qu Xiaowei and Yu Hua chatted about business so enthusiastically that no one paid any attention to them.

Li Guangfu and Lin Weimin got together and talked about Renyi.

Li Guangfu was originally an actor in Renyi. He ran out to do business a few years ago, and now he can be regarded as a successful career.

Compared with him, the current development of Renyi is beyond words.

From the mid-to-late 70s to the mid-80s, it should be said that it was the peak period of Chinese contemporary drama. In less than ten years, domestic drama troupes have flourished, classic works have emerged one after another, and the number of people watching dramas is increasing day by day. Many well-received dramas Tickets are often hard to come by during performances, and audiences would rather pay high prices than watch a drama, and the entire drama market is booming.

But after 85, the domestic drama market changed suddenly.

The number of audiences declined suddenly this year, and this decline lasted for six years. During these few years, the number of audiences for domestic dramas has continued to decrease.

Under such a situation, many theater troupes have encountered difficulties in operating, but fortunately, the drama troupes are supported by the state at this time, so they can still be maintained.

But the unit can maintain it, but the employees can't stand it!
Originally, when the performance market was booming, actors were paid monthly salaries and subsidies for performances.

Now that the market has cooled down, there are no performances, performance subsidies are gone, and many theater troupes can't even pay their salaries, and it takes half a year or a year to delay.

Renyi is a national-level troupe, and its conditions are naturally better than many local repertory troupes, but the situation is also not optimistic.

"Those theater troupes outside have no performance subsidies, and their salaries are not paid in time. Many people have started to find another way out. People and arts are better, but now they make more money from filming and TV dramas outside than acting in dramas. I went to act in movies and TV shows." Li Guangfu said with emotion.

"In recent years, the focus of ordinary people has shifted to economic construction and material life, not as much emphasis on spiritual life as in previous years." Lin Weimin said.

"You're right. I just feel that it's a pity that our human art has produced so many masters and classics. After decades of development, no one has read it in the end."

"It can't be said that no one watched it. It can only be said that the spiritual needs of the common people were too strong a few years ago, which caused the demand in this area to expand a bit deformed. Now it is in the cooling stage. When will everyone slow down, the drama market It will naturally pick up, but it will definitely not reach the level of previous years."

"You always look at problems from such a high-level view." Li Guangfu complimented.

"I said that you are now the 'Three Lees of the Capital' anyway, so stop flattering me all the time."

Later in the 90s, Yanjing had a saying of "four plums", namely Li Chengru who sold clothes, Li Chunping who was a rich woman, Li Tuchun who sold calendars, and Li Xiaohua who sold Zhangguang hair restorer.

At this time, Li Chunping, who is next to a rich woman, and Li Tuchun, who sells calendars, one has not returned to China, and the other has not made a fortune, but Yanjing City has more Li Guangfu who works as a real estate agency, professional agency, and decoration.

Therefore, the "Four Lis of Yanjing" in later generations became the "Three Lis of Yanjing" today.

"It doesn't matter how much it is, you are also my teacher Lin."

Li Guangfu raised his wine glass with a smile and clinked a glass with Lin Weimin.
