Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 669 I have a bold idea

In the Shikumen alley in Ruitaili, Li Jiankun and five others stood on the bluestone road, with the scorching sun above their heads beating down.

Before this trip, they never thought that they would be kicked out. The Han display BB machine, which is two levels ahead of the mainstream products in the market, wanted to show it to the other party, but it didn't even give it a chance...

As a result, a group of people are now angry both inside and outside.

"Boss, let's go to the post and telecommunications office and find their leader!"

"Boss, if you ask me, the worst we can do is stop promoting in Shanghai and go to Yangcheng! Once it is launched in Yangcheng, the products will flow to the market. With our R&D investment and technology, no other company will be able to catch up for a while. We are not afraid of postal and telecommunications here. People don’t come to us to beg us, as long as they want to develop pagers.”

Lin Xinjia and Ding Lun's suggestions are very pertinent.

Ding Lun's suggestion was very relieving, and Lin Xinjia's suggestion could solve the urgent matter.

Li Jiankun said something to Hua Zi, spit out a mouthful of white mist and asked, "What time is it now?"

"It's almost eleven o'clock."

After coming out of Jinjiang Hotel at around nine in the morning, he was delayed a lot on the way. Li Jiankun thought about it and said, "Let's find a place to eat first."

After all, he was not willing to come to the Magic City in vain, and planned to follow Lin Xinjia's suggestion first. However, he arrived at the post office during his lunch break at this time, so he might not meet anyone.

The five of them walked out of the Shikumen Lane in Ruiteli, turned right and walked along the street under the shade of the trees, paying attention to the food shops on the street next to them.

Personally, Li Jiankun is a bit repelled by Shanghai's local cuisine, mainly because sugar is added to every dish.

He led the four of them for a long way. He originally wanted to find an out-of-town restaurant, but there really wasn't one. These days, unlike in later generations, there weren't that many shops on the streets and there were very few choices. After seeing another local restaurant, Li Jiankun gave up and walked in first.

It seems that a "treasure shop" was discovered by accident.

As we all know, street restaurants have poor sanitary conditions, but this shop is different. The floor is covered with white tiles, which are wiped clean and bright. The long or round dining tables are all covered with uniform blue and black tiles. There was a checkered tablecloth, and there were even a few bouquets of unknown flowers in fancy white wine bottles on the wooden counter on the side of the entrance.

On the snow-white walls, there are several wall fans that are not covered with dust, blowing cool air.

"There are a lot of people. Let's sit at the round table. This way, please." Since it's still early, there are no diners in the store yet, but the waiters are already ready to welcome guests, and they are all full of enthusiasm.

As soon as the five people entered the store, a girl with a sweet smile came to greet them.

In fact, all the waiters here, including the charming manager standing behind the counter, are women.

The waiters are all straight-laced girls. The overall quality of these southern potatoes is several notches higher than the Changzheng Canteen opposite the small south gate of Yanyuan.

Ding Lun joked that he thought he had entered a grand hotel.

Lin Xinjia smiled and gave Li Jiankun a look, the subtext was: The girl here is really handsome.

Everyone's previous anger dissipated a lot because they found such a restaurant that far exceeded their expectations.

Li Jiankun said to himself that he didn't know which company's restaurant it was. With this configuration and overall quality, he could really open a restaurant. He probably was short of funds.

Seeing that they were speaking Mandarin, the waitress who served them quickly switched to Mandarin. Holding the menu in one hand, she asked enthusiastically: "Are any of you familiar with local dishes? Do you need my recommendation?"

Li Jiankun smiled and said, "Okay, don't make it too sweet."

"Yes!" the girl clapped her hands and said, "We have a chef whose mother is from Guangdong. Do you like Cantonese food? It's not on the menu, but we can make some according to the ingredients."

My mother, what kind of service is this?

Li Jiankun took another look at the door and confirmed that this was really a roadside restaurant.

"The best thing is that I'm from Cantonese." Lin Xinjia asked with a smile, "Is your chef still a woman?"

"Well, all four of our chefs are women."

Good guy, have you entered the land of girls?

With this kind of service, there is no need for a menu. You need to tell the enthusiastic waitress and let her look at the arrangement. Not long after, at about a quarter past eleven, the restaurant began to serve customers, and the dozen or so tables were quickly filled with people.

It's normal for business to be good, but it's strange for business to be bad.

The dining room became noisy as there were more diners, many of whom were obviously regular customers, chatting and laughing with the waitresses and girls.

"Manager Xu, I think you can definitely open a branch." A middle-aged man raised his head and spoke to the counter on the side of the main entrance.

The charming female manager smiled and waved her hand: "Hey, I'm not up to that level yet. I'm just starting to explore, and my experience is still too little. Please give me your feedback."

"Just be humble. The restaurant of the food company next to you is about to be shut down by you."

"Hey, we are all just making a living, so you can't blame us. If the factory was profitable, we wouldn't open a restaurant."

While Li Jiankun was eating, he heard something interesting. It turned out to be a "tertiary industry" restaurant. To be fair, the taste of the food is just average, just a very homely taste, with nothing special. The reason why the business is so good is mainly because of the service and environment.

"Old Xu, when you said that, I remembered that I ordered a big pack of toilet paper from last time and will pick it up tomorrow."

At a long dining table next to her, a middle-aged woman yelled at the counter and was about to pick up her wallet and get up when she was pulled back by her husband opposite.

"Why are you buying toilet paper again? Wouldn't it be better to use those things called aunt's towels? If people find out, they will think that our family is extremely poor."

"I think you just want to save face and suffer. Why don't you save some money when you don't go out?" The woman ignored her husband, took out the money from her purse, and went to the counter to find Manager Xu to pay for the toilet paper order.

This is convenient. She lives nearby, so she can just come to the restaurant to pick up the goods tomorrow, instead of having to go to the mall. Li Jiankun held a mouthful of rice in his mouth and didn't chew it for a long time. He never thought that this restaurant had something to do with him.

When the middle-aged woman at the table next to her came back and saw that she was a warm-hearted person, Li Jiankun turned sideways and asked her. I also have a clear understanding of the origin of this restaurant:

The reason why the restaurant is full of female workers is because they belong to a public institution that only recruits female workers - the Iron Lady Sanitary Products Factory.

This reminds Li Jiankun of the "Beautiful People Sanitary Products Factory" in Beijing.

The two belong to the same unit and even produce the same products - sanitary belts and feminine toilet paper. Of course, the beauty factory in Beijing no longer produces these two items, and is now the largest supplier of auntie towels in Beijing.

But the iron lady factory in Magic City is at a loss and is still producing.

The problem is that in a relatively economically developed area like Shanghai, since the auntie scarf came out in China, it immediately became the mainstream of the market. At the Zhongguancun Plasma Service Department, the three Magic City factories that introduced the auntie technology from Li Jiankun all made a lot of money despite the economic downturn.

But it has suffered a lot from other factories that produce traditional women's hygiene products.

For example, this Iron Lady sanitary products factory.

If it were not for the fact that there is no precedent for the bankruptcy of state-owned enterprises these days, the "Iron Lady" who was so poor that she could not even afford the raw materials for production would have collapsed and been dissolved long ago.

In order to support hundreds of female workers, the Iron Lady Factory followed the general trend and engaged in tertiary industries. It raised pigs, opened a tailor shop, and even had a housekeeping company that provided cleaning services. This restaurant is also one of the "three properties" of Iron Lady Factory.

"Hey, young man, just think about it, no matter how you say it, you are still a respectable state-owned enterprise employee, mopping floors, cleaning toilets, and washing clothes for others. Many of them are unmarried young ladies... It is really difficult for them to work in the factory." The man sighed.

Li Jiankun was so upset that he was not even in the mood to eat.

Although it is definitely a good thing to bring the aunt's scarf to the market, which will benefit the country and the people, there are two sides to everything. Subtly, some evil was done in the end.

After thanking him, he ended the conversation, turned around, stared at the white porcelain rice bowl in a daze, and suddenly a very bold idea came to his mind:

Since we bumped into each other.

Since the "Iron Lady" needs a way to make money.

Don’t you happen to have one on hand right now?

These days, no one stipulates that communication products can only be produced by the Post and Telecommunications Bureau.

In fact, the last few years when BB machines developed rapidly in China were from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. Many public institutions are eyeing this hot spot. Those who have the conditions, and even some units who have no conditions, must create conditions to get involved in this wealth feast.

Li Jiankun still remembers that in his previous life, there were at least five major torture stations in the Magic City - the word "Kao" comes from the Chinese translation of the English "Call", which was very popular in the mid-to-late 1980s.

They are: Changle Terrace, Nanxing Terrace, Hengfeng Terrace, Pujiang Terrace and Chang'an Terrace.

The same is true in other areas. Copy stations are popping up everywhere, and behind each copy station is a public institution, each controlling one or several paging station numbers. For example, the leading BB machine company "Guomai" in the previous life had 126 manual paging stations. system, 127 automatic paging system, and 128 Chinese paging system three paging station numbers.

In a word, it is not unthinkable for a unit that produces sanitary belts and toilet paper to engage in the BB machine business these days.

How bold a person is, how productive the land is. This sentence is most suitable to describe the opportunity, chaos and vitality of the 1980s.

With this thought in mind, Li Jiankun put down his chopsticks. "You guys eat first."

Then, under the confused gazes of Lin Xinjia and the other four, they touched the wood-colored counter at the entrance.

Xu Huifen looked at the tall and handsome young man walking over and asked with a smile: "Do you need anything?"

"It's my turn to ask you this."

Xu Huifen looked surprised and avoided his gaze. Danfeng glanced at the table, not knowing what she was thinking.

"I heard that your factory is in a very difficult situation right now. I have a very profitable business. I wonder if you are interested?"

Swish!

Xu Huifen met his eyes again. "A very profitable business? Make more money?"

Is the situation in the factory more than difficult?

As leaders, sometimes because they could not pay their employees' basic wages, they saw that many families were really struggling to open the pot. They hugged each other and cried many times.

It's no wonder that her eyes glowed green now that she heard about the profitable business.

"It's hard to say how much money you will make. It depends on the specific sales volume." Li Jiankun said with a smile, "I have a product in my hand that everyone wants. If each one is sold, I can earn at least a few hundred yuan." profit."

"How much?!" Xu Huifen's eyes widened and she was shocked.

She definitely heard wrong.

Products worth hundreds of yuan are rare. How many products can make a profit of several hundred yuan even without the cost?

Yes, she heard it wrong, or else it was the other party's lies.

Li Jiankun repeated word for word: "According to my preliminary estimate, the profit of each product is no less than 300 yuan."

"His-"

Xu Huifen deliberately pricked up her ears to make sure that she heard correctly this time. And with the other party speaking at such a speed, is it possible for the other party to gossip again?

The thirty-six-year-old deputy director of a state-owned factory with relatively rich life experience felt his heart pounding. Then, the green eyes glowed with red light!
