National Tide 1980.

Chapter 406 Blessing
The second is Ning Weimin's own business.

Let's talk about clothing first, because the more you go, the more you get more and more familiar.

The street sewing club has made a lot of money by relying on wholesale and processing, and Luo Guangliang's brothers have made a lot of money by retailing and monopolizing standard cut goods.

Even the self-employed in the Qianmen area and other unlicensed peddlers on Xiushui Street have also made a lot of money because they received the pretty goods from Ning Weimin.

However, even in such a prosperous and happy situation.

Unintentionally, Ning Weimin grasped a rare business opportunity.

Dare Pierre Carton went to China from France to sign the contract this time, and brought many relatively new styles of clothing, which he wanted to put on the market of the Republic to test the waters.

According to the customary practice, the styles of these clothes have not been verified by the market, and they will definitely not be mass-produced.

Only a dozen pieces, dozens of pieces of one type can only be produced in small quantities to test the acceptance of the market.

And in this way, not only Song Huagui had a headache, but also made it difficult for all the state-owned garment factories.

Because making these clothes, not to mention the small quantity, the requirements for handwork and time are still high.

Who did Song Huagui send it to, and no one liked to pick it up.

On the factory side, whoever took such an order is worried.

However, after Ning Weimin learned of this, he couldn't help but start to think.

Because obviously, for this kind of work, the sewing agency in Meishi Street is the most suitable.

Compared with ordinary tailor shops, street sewing clubs have a certain scale.

And it is very flexible in operation, not as rigid as state-owned garment factories.

The only thing to worry about is whether the quality can pass the test.

Ning Weimin certainly knows how rigorous the workmanship is for Pierre Caton's clothing.

Sometimes even if the placket is even slightly misaligned, it must be reworked.

He felt that the amateur standards of the old women in the sewing club might be too much.

So just to be on the safe side, I can only ask the sewing agency to try to make a few pieces first.

If it's okay, he can talk to Song Huagui.

But people really didn't expect that the sewing club really has talents.

Su Jin is simply a blockbuster!
As the only male member of the sewing club, the tailoring skills are also unique to Scorpion Shit.

When Ning Weimin saw the samples made by Su Jin, he was not only astonished, but also greatly increased in confidence.

Sure enough, Song Huagui took these clothes to have a look, and the errand was successfully taken over.

Hey, what a time to look at this again!

One is that Ning Weimin has won the favor of the leader.

Song Huagui was very happy, thinking that Ning Weimin was indeed his right-hand man and worthy of reliance.

He can take the initiative to share his worries without mentioning it himself, which is so rare.

The second is that Ning Weimin also sold the favors of those people in the state-owned garment factory.

When those factories learned that Ning Weimin had taken the matter away, there wasn't a single factory manager or person in charge who didn't think well of him.

To express his gratitude, the factory will of course agree to take extra care of the goods he receives.

Three, everyone in the street sewing club is overjoyed by this.

Don't look at the processing fee of [-] or [-] yuan for a single garment and more than [-] yuan for a coat in a state-owned factory.

But the operating cost of the street sewing club is only a little more?

That's a fat gap they simply can't reach.

Even if Ning Weimin peeled off a layer of skin, what was left to the street sewing club was only [-] or [-] yuan for a single garment and [-] yuan for a coat.

It's enough for Director Li, Aunt Bian and Su Jin to be very happy.

They made a rough calculation and calculated it as [-] pieces per month.

With Su Jin and five skilled temporary female workers working together, it is enough to handle it.

If the processing fee for the workers is excluded, the sewing company can almost earn thousands of dollars.

Obediently!This is enough to pay a dozen people a whole month's salary!

It can't be said to be a pie that fell from the sky at all, but a meat pie that fell from the sky.

And it's oily and shiny!
So under the promise of Ning Weimin that there will be no lack of work for at least two years.

Director Li and Aunt Bian resolutely recruited ten more people, and they also made a forward-looking and courageous decision.

I spent 3000 yuan to buy a semi-old ironing machine and a second-hand keyhole buttonhole sewing machine to enhance my garment-making ability.

To put it bluntly, the shotgun has changed!
Since then, the sewing club has ceased to be a pure handicraft workshop.

On the contrary, it has the meaning of mechanical automation.

Even Ning Weimin's other jobs benefited accordingly.

Even if you don't talk about morality and conscience.

Ning Weimin could plagiarize directly and follow Pierre Carton's clothing design completely, and let the sewing agency produce it with domestic fabrics.

As long as he takes it to the market and sells it, he can easily get a huge return.

There is also a smoking hotel.

As the economy is improving, it directly stimulates the social demand for tobacco and alcohol.

In the peak season at the end of this year, compared with the big price increase at the end of last year, the market is not bad at all.

In addition, many ordinary people do not hesitate to deduct money from their mouths and save money on clothes, and they look forward to saving enough money to buy a color TV or radio recorder as soon as possible throughout the year.

The home appliance business also exploded.

It is no exaggeration to say that as soon as December entered, Zhang Shihui and his wife were very busy, earning money for Ning Weimin without touching the ground.

But on the other hand, it was precisely because the business was so good during this period that for several days, Ning Weimin had a shadow in his heart when answering Zhang Shihui's phone call.

Because so far, he still failed to fulfill his promise to recruit workers for the tobacco hotel.

To be honest, it's not that he didn't take it seriously, but that he really couldn't find a suitable one.

Originally, it was hard for him to find two unemployed young men with suitable temperaments.

Unexpectedly, one of them was called back by his family within two days of working.

Parents said that they would rather starve to death than let their children be individuals, for fear of learning bad.

The other one was quite solid, but after working for ten days, I found that this old man was coughing, the kind of choking cough that couldn't be stopped.

Later, I went to the hospital for a checkup. Good guy, it was actually found that I had tuberculosis.

Zhang Shihui was scared to death on the spot, fearing that he would also be infected, so he hurriedly paid a month's salary to send the plague god away.

Therefore, as soon as Ning Weimin answered Zhang Shihui's phone call, he had to complain and be scolded.

Zhang Shihui complained to him, saying that she didn't even have time to learn how to drive, and said that her daughter-in-law had to ask for leave all the time.

Either urging Ning Weimin to find someone soon, or forcing him to help in the cigarette shop.

But Ning Weimin's time was almost occupied by the sculpture exhibition.

What's more, he has always been in charge of strategic guidance when he intervened in the tobacco hotel. How can he have time to deal with such trivial matters?

Whether it is perfunctory or rejection, he is very embarrassed.

Finding someone is not something that can be done in a short while.

So in the end, there was no way out, and it could only be temporarily that Zhang Shihui's father-in-law and mother-in-law took turns.

This can be regarded as solving the problem of manpower not being able to keep up with business outbreaks.

But things in life are so interesting.

Don't look at sometimes, we need something urgently, what we long for, the more anxious we are, the more we can't find it.

Kezi wants you to give up, don't be in a hurry.

Maybe when you just look back, you will immediately find that what you need urgently is right in front of you and at your fingertips.

The same goes for finding someone.

Ning Weimin never expected that the person he needed would be found at the gate of the postal market, and it was because of the zodiac ticket.

In the past year, Ning Weimin actually seldom came to Donghuamen's philatelic head office.

The first half of the year was because I had no money, and the second half of the year was because I was too busy.

But at the end of the year, no matter how busy he is, he still has to spare some time to run here.

Because he missed the dog ticket at the beginning of the year, he still wanted to hurry up and get it together at the lowest possible cost.

He has great ambitions in his heart.

If this carefully planned method of raising money is missing this link, it will not achieve the best results.

That would be a pity for him.

He himself would feel that he wasted his chance of rebirth, and that it was too insulting to his status as a time traveler.

As a result, he found that the market situation in the grove in front of the philatelic head office was quite different from that at the end of last year.

One is that the price of monkey tickets has jumped to 22.

And chicken tickets, dog tickets are also on the rise.

Perhaps it was the butterfly effect that he manipulated from it.

The increase rate of these zodiac tickets.They are much higher than the historical data in his memory, almost catching up with the price two years later.

Then don't ask, he must be selling monkey tickets to smash the market.

The equivalent price has fallen, and then the whole page will be eaten into the dog ticket.

The second is that he discovered that brokers had loomed in this market.

That is, an intermediary that connects buyers and sellers.

Of course, intermediaries in this era are far from being as professional, awesome, and capable of fooling around as they will be in the future.

To put it bluntly, they are those who live nearby, have nothing to do, and want to make deals and earn money for a pack of cigarettes whenever they get the chance.

Among them, there is such a middle-aged woman with a special figure that is particularly conspicuous.

She wears glasses and is about forty.

I don't know whether it was born or injured, but her neck was inserted into the ribcage obliquely, causing her body to bulge out in front and back.

The chin is close to the collarbone, and it is tilted to the right, and the head seems to be poking out of a jar.

The entire upper body is only half the length of the legs, making the legs look long and thin, and it walks like an ostrich.

But even with such a physical condition, she is diligent, polite, and able to speak.

Although he doesn't know anything about stamps, the advantage of this guy is that he can take care of anyone he sees.

When the stock market hardly stopped to rest, he kept chatting with someone.

And she has a good memory, and she is very familiar with the buying and selling prices of several stamps that are often traded.

It really made a deal, and people on both sides will thank you.

After Ning Weimin came here once or twice, under her strong solicitation, he also sold a dozen or so monkey tickets through her, kindly taking care of this business.

It turns out that this big sister who is like a "shrinking neck jar" is simply too easy to be satisfied.

After earning five yuan from him, he almost offered him as a god.

Actually this is normal.

After all, the stamp market these days is still small in scale, unlike in the future, it is all traded in boxes and plates.

A high-profile guest like Ning Weimin is not to mention unique.

Even if he does a big deal, he doesn't need an introduction. He must be looking for an old relationship.

What's more, the gang of stamp dealers in the market are really stingy, and they are all slick.

Absolutely do not "hit Xier" according to the amount of the transaction, but send people with a few cents according to the mood.

In this way, no matter how diligent the "Shrinking Neck Ertanzi" is, he can only earn [-] cents a day at most.

Even if she has excellent communication skills, she is familiar with the people of the philatelic head office.

It's useless to go into someone's office to add boiling water to Ning Weimin's teacup.

Still having a rough time.

In winter, the cotton clothes are thin, and the warmest clothing is the big scarf around the head.

In the age when there are no patches, there are still two or three spots on her body, which can be seen at a glance.

Needless to say, most of them are forced by life to have the advanced consciousness and courage to do this.

Sure enough, Ning Weimin's judgment was correct, and he found out clearly when he asked.

This eldest sister's surname is Tan, and she claims to live in Shasha.

Because of her physical disability, she does not have a regular job, and earns some income by watching bicycles at Changhong Cinema every afternoon to night.

There are still orphans and widows in the unborn family. The pillar of her family disappeared the year before last, and her son and daughter are still in school.

Can it work without earning money?How can I live?

So, after confirming the truth of what he said with other people in the market, Ning Weimin spoke to Sister Tan.

He sincerely invited the eldest sister to work in the Tobacco Hotel.

He said that he would take care of the store from [-] am to [-] pm every day, with a monthly salary of [-].

Depending on the situation, there will also be bonuses.

Such generous conditions, of course Big Sister Tan is willing.

She doesn't care about any individual, but she feels that it is her own luck.

It's just that she still has some concerns about time.

Sister Tan then explained to Ning Weimin that she couldn't leave the movie theater halfway.

She had to let others find someone to replace her, so that she could come from the time Ning Weimin hoped.

At present, it can only work from [-] o'clock to [-] o'clock in the afternoon.

Of course, the salary can be lower, she has no objection.

Needless to say, such a reply is actually more kind.

This kind of personality undoubtedly made Ning Weimin more at ease.

Later, this big sister Tan no longer has to brave the wind to make money.

At the same time, Zhang Shihui's father-in-law and mother-in-law were completely liberated.

Although Zhang Shihui didn't think much of this honor at first.

In the bottom of my heart, I was very jealous that Ning Weimin spent every day soaking in the flowers, and he could only "stab his eyes" every day.

But then he was content.

Because this big sister Tan is super capable of handling things.

With a clear mind, you can do whatever you want, which makes people feel relieved.

After all, it depends on the origin of the car.

I remember the tobacco and alcohol accounts quite clearly, and the amount of money is not bad.

And she still had work in her eyes.

Every day, the store is cleaned brightly and spotlessly, and boiling water is always available.

The key is to be good at dealing with all aspects of the relationship.

Regardless of the approval of the goods, the neighborhood committee, the industry and commerce, the taxation department, and even the landlord Zhang Dashao, they all made her lose her temper and keep her balance.

This made Zhang Shihui speechless, and let him go, unless he was stupid.

On the contrary, Ning Weimin got the reason and became quite embarrassing.

What is the ability to know people?
Starting from here, he had to blow a few words as soon as he answered Zhang Shihui's call.

Boasting that he has a keen eye for pearls, such a talent is cheaper than Zhang Shihui.

Don't be unwilling to listen to Zhang Shihui.

As long as he dares to twist, Ning Weimin will say that WHO is afraid of WHO?Sister Tan is going to be transferred to the sewing agency.

There is no way to run Zhang Shihui.

In short, for Ning Weimin, the end of 1982 went very smoothly.

It was really white snowflakes floating in white.

White silver white photo.

The money I took for nothing, I just jumped into his arms.

It's not even just his own success. Before New Year's Day, even our country's sports performance has been boosted, which makes people happy.

Also at the end of the year, the common people of the Republic, who were eating tofu boiled with cabbage, collectively witnessed the live broadcast of the closing of the Ninth Asian Games in New Delhi, India on TV.

Everyone was excited to see that the Republic won a total of 61 gold medals, ranking No.1 in the total number of gold medals in the Asian Games for the first time.

Agence France-Presse issued a cable saying, "The country once known as the 'sick man of East Asia' in sports has been firmly established as the number one sports power in Asia, ending the 31-year history of Japan's dominance in Asian sports."

I don’t know if such a surprising breakthrough, in addition to the hard work of the athletes, is also due to the fact that the cabbage grows well this year and tastes particularly sweet?
Conversely, compared with the situation in the Republic, the international community is not so peaceful.

A country that does not have cabbage to keep it safe seems to have no idea that peace is a blessing, and the principle of getting rich when you are bored.

The fight was like a hot kiln, full of hostility and unrest.

In Afghanistan, anti-government guerrillas have retaken some areas occupied by the Soviet Union, entering a tug of war.

In the Middle East, Arafat, the leader of the PLO, had just escaped yet another assassination attempt on him.

In Iraq, President Saddam Hussein was also attacked by gunmen.

At this time, the Iran-Iraq War has entered the third year...

Even the United Kingdom and Argentina, because of the just-concluded "Fallands Sea Battle", each has many families immersed in mourning for the loss of their loved ones.

1982, it just passed by...
