National Tide 1980.

Chapter 591 Business Tips

The Spring Festival in 1984 was for the vast majority of people in Beijing.

I'm afraid it was the Spring Festival that impressed them the most and felt the strongest happiness in the whole 80s.

The reason is simple. Compared with last year's Spring Festival, the capital has made great progress in all aspects related to people's livelihood.

It can even be said that it tends to be perfect, and there are no obvious shortcomings.

First of all, social security has been greatly improved, door picking and lock picking have been eradicated, and there have been no more fights.

All the young people have become honest. Those who should go to work go to work, those who should go to school, and those who don't have a job stay honest and don't dare to cause trouble.

Years ago, it happened to be snowing heavily again, and the whole city was shrouded in a sheet of white snow.

This year, both the human spirit and the urban environment feel clean.

That in itself is exhilarating.

Secondly, the supply of materials is relatively abundant.

Not only is there no shortage of oil, wine, meat, poultry, eggs, and dry goods, but some things are also the first to realize "freedom".

The supply of rice and white noodles has been completely released, and you can buy it anytime, anywhere.

Every unit distributes welfare tea, and every unit is making suits...

In addition, the time-honored Nanwei Pastry Shop "Daoxiang Village", which is of great significance to the people of Beijing, also reopened during the Spring Festival of this year.

There are also out-of-season green vegetables in greenhouses in the capital, allowing ordinary people to enjoy the "dongzi goods" that only heaven and nobles could enjoy in the past, and they can also eat fresh cucumbers, garlic sprouts, and leeks in the middle of winter.

All of these make this year look very beautiful.

What is especially pleasing is that there are more good things, and there is still money to buy them.

Don't forget, as early as October 1983, the big guy got a salary increase.

Most people's monthly income will increase by [-] yuan.

There are even a small number of intellectuals who have increased their wages by two levels, and their average monthly income has increased by 16 yuan and [-] cents.

On the contrary, the change of prices showed a serious lag due to the planned economy.

So that makes the big guys very comfortable.

Over the past few months, the common people obviously feel that they have a lot more money.

So everyone experienced the illusion that "common prosperity" has been realized.

If you don't believe it, just look at how people set off firecrackers this year.

In the past Spring Festival, there was never a time when it was six o'clock in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the sulfur smell in the alleys was still not clear.

Not to mention the time when firecrackers shattered and confetti covered the entire alley.

But this year, it's all there.

why?
Isn't it just because the big guys feel that they have a little spare money in their hands, so they are willing to put more money for auspicious celebrations.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this year most of the firecracker sales outlets in Beijing were completely sold out three days before the festival, even the small whips were gone.

This year, even the pressured money that adults give to children has risen to fifty cents or one yuan unprecedentedly.

This is called rejoicing, celebrating together.

Of course, it would be a bit too much for Ning Weimin to give each of the children of the Luo family and the Bian family a piece of unity.

It can only be said that he is a virus that has entered this era indiscriminately, and cannot be measured by common sense.

Finally, regarding the cultural life of the people, the common people are also satisfied.

You know, this year is the second time that the national TV station has held the Spring Festival Gala.

It was just when the "signboard" of the Spring Festival Gala had just started, and this column was growing rapidly with great momentum and the most vigorous vitality.

So this year's Spring Festival Gala has not only invested a lot of money, but also has more sophisticated productions. There are also a lot of high-quality and good programs that have been invited.

For example, Ma Ji's stand-up comedy "Universe Brand Cigarettes" is almost enough to entertain the people of the whole country for a year.

The skit "Eating Noodles" by Chen Peisi and Lao Mao directly triggered the "sketch craze".

In the opera shows, Tan Yuanshou's "Dingjun Mountain" and Ma Lan's "The Female Son-in-law" are all well-known pieces that opera fans may not be able to hear even if they are holding their hands in the theater.

Li Guyi and Jiang Kun's Huagu Opera "Liu Hai Chops Wood" is also brilliant, making people smile from the bottom of their hearts.

As for the song program, there are more good songs that can make people mesmerized.

Yin Xiumei's "Where is Happiness" and "Dang, Dear Mother".

Zhu Mingying's "Mo Chou, Mo Chou", "O Sea, My Hometown", and "Back to My Mother's Home".

Jiang Dawei's "Ask What We Think" and "In That Place Where Peach Blossoms Bloom".

All were presented at the same evening party, and became unforgettable classics that will remain in people's memory forever.

So many years later, when looking back on the history of the Spring Festival Gala, many people have a consensus.

It is believed that the Spring Festival Gala in 1984 was the Spring Festival Gala with the highest quality of programs in the Spring Festival Gala over the years.

However, when it comes to this Spring Festival Gala, it is the most epoch-making and breakthrough initiative.

However, it is the decision of the director of the Spring Festival Gala Huang Yihe to invite actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan to participate in the Spring Festival Gala performance based on the heart of the same blood.

This year's Spring Festival Gala, not only Huang Ayuan from Baodao and Chen Sisi from Hong Kong City were added to the queue of hosts.

Also invited were two singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan, Zhang Mingmin and Xi Xiulan.

The songs "My Chinese Heart" and "Girl from Alishan" they sang respectively aroused strong sympathy from audiences across the country, and they became popular overnight.

In fact, from the first day of the Lunar New Year, "The rivers and mountains are only in my dreams, and the motherland has not been close to me for many years" and "The mountains are evergreen, and the streams are always blue" have replaced "Sleeping for a hundred years, and the people of the country are gradually waking up". It has become a new popular tune among young people in Beijing.

In the words of 30 years later, it seems that if anyone can't hum a few words like this, he will be "OUT".

Therefore, the most successful part of this Spring Festival Gala is that it has greatly enhanced the sense of national identity of the Chinese people, and since then opened up the official channel for the spread of popular songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan in the mainland.

In addition, the "Zhai Palace Sculpture Art Exhibition Garden Party" in Tiantan Park is no longer alone.

The Spring Festival Temple Fair has strong competitors, and the people in the capital have more choices.

Ganqing originally was the first place in history to restore the tradition of the Spring Festival temple fair in 1985. It is unwilling to sit back and watch the Temple of Heaven Park gain the limelight and take advantage of it.

This year, a traditional Spring Festival temple fair with a stronger folk flavor is also launched. It will compete with the "foreign temple fair" named by the "Peel-Carton" company at the Temple of Heaven Park.

The organizers over there are quite knowledgeable, and they pay special attention to snacks and traditional acrobatics and folk performances.

So this year, many artists in Nancheng were recruited to perform at high prices.

In addition, there are also foreign films, shadow puppetry, qigong performances, bird training, monkey playing and other projects that Ning Weimin did not pay attention to.

The content advantage is quite obvious.

That is, the most famous snacks in Beijing, most of them are in Nancheng.

The catering industry is also under the management of the service bureau, so they couldn't go to the North City like those people who were performing arts.

Coupled with Pierre-Carton's "Zhai Palace Exhibition Hall" and "Sculpture Art Exhibition", it has already become a well-known cultural event in the capital and has a certain brand effect.

Otherwise, it may be difficult for the Temple of Heaven Park to maintain its leading position in cultural activities this year.

Think about it, if eating and playing are all compared to others.

What's left here?

There are only some advantages left in terms of management and facilities, because of experience and abundant funds.

All in all, it is about the organizational ability of activities, the consumption ability of the people, and the richness of culture.

Although the Republic of this year cannot be compared with that of 30 years later.

But the simplicity, enthusiasm, and realness of the contemporary people, and the simplicity and purity of life requirements, are the special advantages of this era.

Only when the economy has begun to develop rapidly and the spirit has not yet fallen, and the two have reached a delicate balance, will the people in the capital have a rare sense of satisfaction in everything in life.

It's really delicious to eat, fun to play, beautiful to shop, and real to laugh.

Even if there are some flaws, they are offset and covered up by the excellent balance of spirit and matter.

It has to be said that such a moment when most people think that life will definitely be better and the collective is full of happiness and security is not easy to get.

If you really want to keep time in this moment forever, that would be great!

But what is regrettable is that change is the reality of the objective world, society is constantly moving forward, and time is constantly passing.

The more delicate the balance, the more fragile it is.

Under this ebb and flow, the beauty at this time is like a flash in the pan.

Once the year is turned, when the pages of the Spring Festival in 1984 are torn out, this wonderful balance begins to disappear.

The train of time has crossed the happiest node of people, leaving philosophy, poetry, morality and faith behind.

With no choice but to drive towards a more practical and materialistic future.

A more complicated, more chaotic, more lively, dazzling kaleidoscope era is coming!

Undoubtedly, there is one person in the whole country, and the person who is most sensitive to this kind of social change is of course Ning Weimin.

Why do you say that?

Just because he knew what he would become in the future, unlike others, he was concerned about the trivial things of life all day long.

But all the spare time and energy are basically spent on social gossip and those well-known actors.

Just like right now, most people are saying, "Why do the suits issued by your factory look better than ours? Oh, why are suits issued everywhere now? I think this thing is going to be work clothes..."

Or, "Hey, Jiang Kun is so young, why did he become the head of the Beijing Opera Troupe? Who decided this? Is there someone behind this kid? I think Ma Ji is more suitable than him..."

Or, "Hey, tell me, what did the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" on the TV station think? It's not a nonsense to recruit newcomers from major literary and art groups across the country without using well-known actors to shoot classics? I think Beijing Film should let It’s right for the factory to shoot. Liu Xiaoqin, isn’t that a real Wang Xifeng? You can see that she is so ruthless in playing Cixi, she is absolutely suitable for this role. Hey, who do you think will play Baoyu? Tang Guoqiang, a bit old...Zhou Lijing, It's too hard...Chi Zhiqiang, not pretty enough...Guo Kaimin, hey, it seems quite suitable..."

Out of his greedy nature and speculative nature, what Ning Weimin is concerned about and interested in is always how to use the current economic situation to make profits for himself.

Therefore, the economic attributes of the society are getting stronger and stronger. For him, it is just a good thing that he can't wait for and has been looking forward to for a long time.

Not only does he enjoy himself in it, but he can also accurately measure and grasp the temperature of the economy just like a fish can clearly feel the change of water temperature.

Money and profit are to him what a bloodthirsty shark is to the taste of blood.

Based on his own experience and knowledge of the future, combined with the skills he has learned in this life, he naturally and easily summed up the secrets of making money in the next few decades.

And taking advantage of the excitement at the New Year's wine table, he told Zhang Shihui.

"If you want to make money, it's too easy. I said buddy, you should never worry about bad business. I'll tell you a business trick that's guaranteed to work, and you'll get it done once and for all. In fact, you only need to focus on our business. What the generation needs is enough.”

"What do you mean, the great leader taught us to focus on the main contradiction. In business, of course, the more customers the better. Right? Then you think, which generation has the largest number of people in today's society? Isn't it just us? The product of the population peak of the generation. That is to say, our generation represents the largest consumption demand of the society."

"I'm not talking nonsense. If you think about it, people born in our generation, from the early 50s to the early 60s, because there is no population control, the number is completely out of control. As a result, it is difficult for us people to do anything. .What do we need, what is the price increase, isn't that the case?"

"Think about it carefully. When did those various coupons start to be implemented? Didn't they just become more and more serious as our generation grew up? When I was young, it was difficult to drink milk, see a doctor, get dressed, and enter a nursery. It is difficult to enter school, and then it is difficult to find a job. None of us grew up like this. Otherwise."

"Actually, it wasn't that difficult even in the early days of the Republic, when everything was waiting to be rebuilt. The real shortage of social resources began in the mid-50s and continued until the 70s. So, if you want to make money, you have to think about it. What our generation needs most right now."

"For example, when you don't have enough to eat, you use food stamps to pay for it. Now that you are almost full, people want to eat well again, and open restaurants to make money. This person loses face, clothing, haircuts, etc. Cosmetics, just earn money. After returning to the city, our generation will find jobs and ask people, so we can earn money from tobacco and alcohol. Why are cooks and carpenters popular now? Because people who return to the city will get married."

"Hey, do you understand? That's the same reason why we dumped color TVs. It's completely predictable now that this group of people will get married and go to the shed and privately build furniture to cool down. At that time, the wood will not be nervous, no. Just look at it. Conversely, when people of our generation get married, they will have children. Then it’s time to get rich on children’s products. In a few years, you can make a fortune selling toys, children’s clothing, stationery, and books. , if we consider the current economic level of our society, then snacks and stationery are obviously the most promising."

"After that, there will be a cycle of generations. When these children grow up, they will find jobs, get married, and have children. Think about it, now that family planning is implemented, they are all only children. The money earned by this generation is not fully paid for by their own children. Body? Let me tell you this, it’s right to keep an eye on people in the 60s and [-]s. Until our generation gets old and dies, we don’t need to worry about it.”

"And the sad thing about this generation is that only if they dare to go out of the circle and either lead or fall behind, can they live well. Otherwise, everyone will have to face the most serious peer competition. In that life, they have to be anxious. How many people Can you see that?"

"However, this is of course a good thing for the two of us. As long as you stick to me, you will never have to worry about business failure. Don't worry, buddy, we have caught up with the good times. The opportunity to make a fortune runs through our entire lives..."

In this regard, Zhang Shihui completely admired her.

Even after going back, the more I thought about it, the more reasonable it became.

As soon as he got emotional, he wanted to make a memorial tablet to confess Ning Weimin.

Because in his eyes, Ning Weimin is the "Matsushita Konosuke" of the Republic, more like the god of business than that devil.

However, when he found out that Ning Weimin was focusing on the stamps with all his heart, he couldn't figure it out. What logic did this follow?Does everyone need to buy stamps now?

He asked Ning Weimin, but Ning Weimin just smiled mysteriously, but didn't tell him.

And he also expressed that he didn't want him to inquire again, so if he had time, he might as well take care of Xiayan Hotel, saying that was the direction they should cooperate with.

Such an outsider made Zhang Shihui feel a bit worried about gains and losses.

He really couldn't understand why Ning Weimin kept this matter so secret and didn't bring himself to play.

Aren't they good friends?Isn't he the most iron buddy?Why did Ning Weimin prefer to cooperate with those people in the head office who treated him harshly?
For such a big man, he actually started to feel upset because of another man's attitude towards him.

The most frightening thing was that one day in his dream, he dreamed that he became An Dehai who was beheaded in "Burning the Old Summer Palace".

It was a cry of cold sweat, nausea, and fear!
