hunting in 1986

Chapter 50
Li Hang's home in the city.

Wang Yuan said to Zheng Lian: "I don't have ginseng, but I have pine nuts. Uncle Zheng, do you want pine nuts?"

The unshaven Zheng Lian was momentarily disappointed, and asked casually, "How many pine nuts do you have?"

"More than 3 catties."

"Huh?" Zheng Lian was taken aback for a moment: "Why do you have so many pine nuts?"

"I collected it from the folks. I think pine nuts are delicious and rare. It's almost Chinese New Year. As long as the price is not too expensive, people will definitely be willing to buy them."

"You really have more than 3 catties of pine nuts?"

Zheng Lian felt that what Wang Yuan said was somewhat reasonable. He came from the capital to understand some of the situation there. He also ate pine nuts after coming to the Northeast, and had a vague feeling that there might be a market for pine nuts.

"Of course, don't worry, I won't lie to you."

"Okay, I'll send a telegram to my friends in the capital first, and find out the market first."

"also."

Wang Yuan told Zheng Lian his address, and asked him to find himself if he really bought pine nuts, and told him to make a decision quickly, and he would sell the pine nuts to others when it was too late.

After leaving Li Hang's house, Wang Yuan went directly downstairs to Li Shen's house.

Li Shen happened to be at home, he cut his hair short, and he was full of energy. After inviting Wang Yuan to sit down, he poured him tea repeatedly. He felt that Wang Yuan's occasional words were of great help to him.

"How's the store going?"

"Find one, 150 square meters, at a crossroad west of the City Federation of Trade Unions..."

Li Shen sat on the right side of Wang Yuan, introduced the situation of the store with joy, took out a cigarette and handed Wang Yuan a cigarette, and then he lit one himself and smoked.

After blowing out two smoke rings, Li Shen said slowly again: "I have calculated carefully, renting the store, decorating, recruiting workers, and keeping some reserve funds, and I need to prepare a total of 1600 yuan!

Brother Wang Yuan, you said before that you wanted to buy shares, how much can you pay? "

Li Shen felt that Wang Yuan didn't have much money. He knew that Wang Yuan sold a ginseng for nearly 5000 yuan last time, but Wang Yuan said that he would share the money with other people who entered the mountain, and Li Shen believed it.

Moreover, Li Shen knew that in the countryside, every household was very poor, and the money they earned would usually be handed over to the elders in the family, so he felt that Wang Yuan might not even be able to give 100 yuan.

Through such a long time of contact, Wang Yuan also had a general understanding of Li Shen's character, and he understood that it was impossible for Li Shen to give up the controlling stake.

Besides, he won't be in the city often, and Li Shen is looking after the restaurant, so it's actually okay for Li Shen to hold the shares.

Wang Yuan bent his right index finger and tapped the table lightly:
"I need to prepare a total of 1600 yuan? How about this, I will pay 800 yuan but only need 49% of the shares, how about it? You are usually in charge of the restaurant, and the reward is the extra 2% of the shares, how about it?"

"What you said is also a method, but I'm taking advantage of it too much."

"Whether it's cheap or not, then it's decided."

"Okay, okay, it's almost noon, let me invite you to dinner."

Li Shen was very excited. He didn't want to give up the controlling stake but also wanted to partner with Wang Yuan to run the restaurant. Now Wang Yuan voluntarily gave up the controlling stake, which is undoubtedly the best.

After the two went downstairs, they rode on their bicycles and soon came to the nearest state-run hotel to the west. The four fronts swayed in the cold wind. This was a very "high-end" state-run hotel.

After entering the door, you will see a lobby with greasy tables on the ground, pictures of great men and some quotations on the wall, and two waiters are cleaning.

There is a window for picking up food inside, and you can faintly see people walking around inside, and there are bursts of laughter and chatter.

The two waiters looked up at Wang Yuan and Li Shen, ignored them, and cleaned up on their own.

Li Shen took Wang Yuan and sat down by the window. He raised his wrist to look at his watch, and said: "We came a little early, there is no food now, wait a while."

"Well, okay."

Wang Yuan has nothing to do.

Yes, there is no food in the state-run restaurants until the meal time.As for the guests arriving early... Sorry, what are guests? State-run hotels never indulge guests.

Love to eat or not to eat, do not eat to pull down.

After waiting for a while, a few guests came to the state-run restaurant sparsely, and they could order food when the meal was ordered.

I ordered three dishes at random, and ordered some rice, which cost me 6 yuan, 4 cents, and a catty and a half of food stamps.

"It's too expensive."

"It's okay. State-run restaurants have always been at this price, and the price has hardly increased in recent years."

Li Shen didn't eat breakfast, he was really hungry now, and he was hungry.

Wang Yuan tasted the dishes, perhaps because he is used to light dishes, and felt that the dishes here were too salty.

"If we want to open a restaurant, the price of the food must be lower than here. As long as the attendance rate is higher, even if the price of the food is lower, it will still make a lot of money."

"Yeah, I made a note."

The occupancy rate of the state-run hotel was too low, Wang Yuan was a little curious, would the money earned here be able to cover various expenses?

However, Wang Yuan knew that even if the state-owned restaurant lost money, it would not go bankrupt easily, because the employees were all regular workers, and there was no special reason, how could the regular workers lose their jobs?
Moreover—in the eyes of some bigwigs, state-run restaurants carry a part of the heavy responsibility of "serving the people". They think that if some ordinary people don't want to eat at home, they can come to state-run restaurants to eat. This is very good, so they can't go bankrupt Well.

After eating a meal, Wang Yuan and Li Shen left.

Li Shen went home, while Wang Yuan rode his bicycle back to Wangjiatun.

The next day, Wang Yuan sent Li Shen 800 yuan, and the two signed a cooperation agreement. Although there is no company law in this era, an agreement is better than nothing.

This morning.

My mother was going back to my grandma's house to visit relatives, so Wang Yuan could only carry her on his back. A bamboo basket hung on the right side of the back seat, and the little girl squatted in the basket.

The little girl wanted to hug the cat, but her mother slapped her ass, and the little girl gave in instantly with tears in her eyes.

Wang Yuan took his mother and younger sister to the village first. After all, he couldn't go to grandma's house empty-handed. His mother bought a pack of brown sugar, two bottles of canned food, some chicken cakes and a large pack of matches.

The little girl squatted in the bamboo basket, poked her head out to look out, stared straight at the small fried cake shop on the street, her face was full of longing, and she swallowed her saliva involuntarily.

Wang Yuan couldn't see the little girl's appearance, so he let his mother hold the handlebar after shopping, and then he went to a small shop selling fried cakes and bought fried cakes for 2 cents.

Seeing Wang Yuan walking back, the little girl stretched out her little hand happily: "Fried Cake!"

"If you eat fried cakes, you must be obedient."

"Yeah, I'm obedient." The little girl took a few fried cakes wrapped in straw paper, and happily ate them.

She ate very slowly, and seemed to have to savor every bite. She ate a few small fried cakes for more than an hour. She didn't swallow until Wang Yuan drove his mother and little girl to grandma's house. Take the last bite of fried cake.

She also wanted to lick the oil stains on the toilet paper, but was stopped by Wang Yuan.

"Okay, okay, it's almost over."
