I am many years in the courtyard

Chapter 486: The leader who can’t sit still

In early June when the scorching heat hits, after a light rain, the hot weather approaches day by day.

Along with the hot weather, in the busiest street of Xishui Village, a video store called Jiangbei Ledi has many VCDs on display.

Not far from this store, there is a hypermarket that sells VCD machines.

Amidst the deafening music, you can hear the movies, MVs, etc. played in his home from a few streets away.

After finally having a day off, Alian made an appointment with her three little sisters, and they all went out for a walk together.

"Alian, how was your internship? Did you pass it?"

When the four little sisters first met, they immediately exchanged excited greetings and immediately curiously inquired about their current situation.

"Of course you can pass. You don't want to see who I am?"

Alian said with a bit of arrogance, "I may become the team leader next month, and then I may be able to earn 1000 yuan a month."

Wow!
Hearing Alian's words, the other little sisters all exclaimed, and then each one expressed that they would like to treat her to dinner.

In response, Alian did not refuse and agreed directly.

The four of them came to the bustling pedestrian street, had a meal first, and then started shopping.

It didn't take long for them to be attracted by Jiangbei Ledi Video Store, which contained many genuine records and VCD videos from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

They were dazzled when they saw it, and they all seemed to buy it, but it was a pity that it was useless.

Because they don’t have machines, they can’t put them away even if they buy them back.

Not long after, I listened to the conversation between the consumers and the boss next to me, and I realized that the machines that played these VCD tapes were actually sold in the nearby hypermarket.

The four of them curiously walked into the hypermarket, and when they saw the price tag of a VCD player: RMB [-], they immediately became excited.

But after buying the player, you have to buy a TV set.

TV sets are not cheap, costing at least 2000 to [-] yuan.

If you add one more piece, it will cost at least more than 3000 yuan.

If you think about it this way, you have to work hard.

"Alian, work hard and become the team leader next month. Buy a set this year."

"Yes, Alian, you still have a great chance. With a monthly salary of one thousand, you can buy one soon."

"That's right, when the time comes we will also be able to take advantage of you. When we return to our hometown, we can go to your house to watch movies."

When Ah Lian heard this, she was also very encouraged and immediately said that she was determined to be the team leader.

Let’s not talk about whether she can become the team leader. For many years at this time, she was also paying attention to the sales of VCDs.

VCDs have been on sale since mid-May.

Naturally, the priority for supply is East Asian markets such as Hong Kong Island, Tokyo, and Garden City. As for the bald eagle market, we can only wait further.

In the past period, after Apple was sanctioned by Bald Eagle, the sanction order was revoked in less than two months.

However, over the years, I have no confidence in the bald eagle market.

Although he also wanted to make Bald Eagle money, he was relatively more rational.

Yi Jianbo and others applied to the Ministry of Commerce for nearly two months. Finally, after Motorola, Orange Company, etc. occupied a certain market share, the Ministry of Commerce chose to cancel the application.

Before canceling it, I didn’t forget to make Apple branch pay a fine of US$500 million, which is disgusting.

If it hadn't been for many years and recent times when they didn't want to kill animals, some of the officials at the Ministry of Commerce would have gone to see God.

In Xintiandi Plaza, a Huimin Supermarket, VCD machines are put on the shelves as the latest technological products.

Although in this era, high-tech products should have their own exclusive stores or stores.

Rather than being placed in a place like a supermarket, it is very unqualified.

But in fact, VCD is just a transitional product, and its survival time will not exceed ten years.

In the original time and space, VCD was only invented in [-]. After [-] and [-], the road to madness began one after another.

But in fact, its existence time is also very short.

Because DVDs came out quickly, and high-tech products such as Walkmans and MP3s also appeared one after another.

Therefore, the existence time of VCD will not be very long.

In Central, Hong Kong Island, in an office of a building, the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce is having a meeting.

Huang Jiacheng and others were there, and they were discussing the recent social phenomenon: VCDs are raging.

In almost a short period of time, VCDs appeared in Huimin Supermarket at a price of three nines, and in less than half a month, more than 30 people in Hong Kong bought VCDs.

Firstly, the current per capita salary in Hong Kong is very high, and secondly, a VCD player costing HK$[-] is really not expensive.

Thirdly, many families have already purchased TV sets, and they only need to purchase a VCD player to watch movies and MVs, which is a great deal.

So after many people see this kind of machine, they simply don’t like it too much.

How cool is it to watch movies at home?

As for the price of VCD video tapes?

There are two ways to buy it, one is to buy it directly and the other is to rent it and use it at home.

There are [-] FamilyMart convenience stores all over Hong Kong that have expanded. The other half of the expanded stores are used for the sale and rental of VCD tapes, which is very convenient.

All film companies on Hong Kong Island have signed cooperation agreements with audio and video disc companies.

In addition to Hong Kong Island, other places such as Tokyo, Bay Island, and Hollywood have also signed agreements.

The audio and video disc companies bought out the copyrights of these movies at different prices, and in total they bought the copyrights of more than 3000 movies.

In Hong Kong Island, Tokyo, Bay Island and other places, everyone can buy or rent CDs through FamilyMart convenience stores.

As for which method is more cost-effective, that is a matter of wisdom and benevolence.

Anyway, for many years, you may earn less money by renting in this way.

But in this way, his purpose of promoting Hong Kong Island or China Entertainment movies has been achieved.

Because the rental cost of each movie is different, but generally speaking, movies from Hong Kong Island and China Entertainment are relatively cheaper.

On the contrary, movies in Hollywood, Tokyo and other places are more expensive.

This is the benefit of monopoly business.

At present, the sales performance of VCD players in East Asia is very good.

More than 30 units were sold on Hong Kong Island, while more than 100 million units were sold in Tokyo, and more than 40 units were sold on Bay Island.

Although the average price is only three nine Hong Kong dollars, such huge sales data represents a huge shipment volume.

This means that the production capacity of mainland audio and video disc companies needs to be expanded. Otherwise, it will be difficult to supply products after markets such as Europe and Bald Eagle expand.

As a result, in less than three months, the audio and video disc company at the end of June once again recruited tens of thousands of employees.

For a time, the entire Xishui Village was boiling again.

The leaders of Baiyun City lost their composure when they saw this scene. They quickly called many years ago and persuaded:
"Hello, Comrade Xu, I'm sorry to disturb you. Let's take a look. When will you have time to come to Baiyun City? Our Baiyun Hotel has recently innovated new bird's nest egg tarts and other breakfasts. You are welcome to come and taste it, Comrade Xu."

The purpose of inviting many years to Baiyun City is naturally not that pure.

In the past few months, the big moves in Xishui Village over the years have attracted countless talents to Xishui Village.

As the provincial capital, Baiyun City, if it can still sit still at this time, it will be called a ghost.

"Okay, let's go in two days. I have something to do these days. I will definitely go there in two days."

After pondering for many years, I finally agreed.

The development of Baiyun City must not be given up, and he has invested in a new Baiyun City there.

Although there is no way to develop the current financial business, it does not mean that it will definitely be abandoned.

The Internet is about to rise, and Apple will definitely extend its tentacles to the mainland in the future.

What's more, after Apple was sanctioned, we will definitely be more cautious in many years and will no longer let Apple dominate.

As for monopoly, it will be fine for a short period of time, but over time, it will breed corruption like the Rolls-Royce Group.A large and bloated management organization will also cause the company to lose more competitive vitality.

Therefore, the best way is to directly invest in several more companies and compete with each other, so as to maintain a better and healthy development momentum.

"Okay, let's sweep the bed and wait!"

The leader of Baiyun City was immediately overjoyed. After speaking in a respectful tone, he hung up the phone.

After many years and a few days of raising children on Hong Kong Island, he took his eldest grandson and two daughters to Baiyun City.

His two youngest daughters, Xu Yi, are also 13 years old, and Xu Mengyao is ten years old.

It's early July now, the beginning of summer vacation, so it's just the right time to take them out and play together.

Qin Huairu naturally followed. She is now a child slave and no longer bothers about having children for many years. After all, she is a grandmother.

Baiyun Hotel is a five-star hotel and the first five-star hotel in mainland China.

This hotel was originally built after many years of taking the lead, writing letters to the superiors for approval, and personally promoting its construction.

It has been more than ten years since the hotel was built. Time flies very fast. In the blink of an eye, I still remember the letters I wrote to the leaders in [-].

When the family arrived at Baiyun Hotel, the leaders of Baiyun City were already waiting.

Now that we have mobile phones, communication is very convenient.

Many years ago I didn't like the politeness and welcome ceremony, so I made an appointment to meet in the hotel directly.

After some pleasantries, after many years, they were finally able to sit inside and have morning tea.

Qin Huairu took her daughter and eldest grandson to the small cubicle next to her. For many years, she accompanied the leaders in the private room next door.

While waiting for dinner, business matters inevitably came up. For many years, I just wanted to solve them quickly to avoid making a fuss with my eldest grandson.

Before coming here, I had been thinking about investing in three major projects including a fruit wholesale market, a clothing wholesale market, and a computer city for many years.

The amount of investment will not be very large, but the most important thing is to gather talents and some business experience or development direction.

For the leaders of Baiyun City, what they need is someone to give them the bottom line and guide them in economic development.

"You may ask, what is there to do in the wholesale fruit market, right?"

At the beginning of the meal, many years ago, he directly threw out his three major plans, and then asked them for them.

"Perhaps you don't know, but I have a survey report here about the annual fruit consumption in different places such as Bald Eagle, Tokyo, and Hong Kong Island."

"Have you seen the three documents in Appendices [-], [-] and [-] at the back of the plan?"

"That's right, whether it's Hong Kong Island or the bald eagle, the fruit consumption capacity of these markets is so strong."

"Perhaps you will continue to ask, the Bald Eagle is thousands of miles away from our Baiyun City, and even if we fly there, the cost of fruit is too expensive."

"Oh, you will have a lot of problems, but don't worry yet."

Haha!

In the private room, the leaders smiled awkwardly, because these questions they had been talking about for many years were clearly the questions they wanted to ask.

This is very obvious. For many years, they really hit the point and thought of the questions they wanted to ask in advance.

He is indeed the richest man in Hong Kong Island, and the shadow of a famous tree is truly worthy of his reputation.

Next, for many years, I explained the situation to the leaders regarding the fruit wholesale market.

If you want to build a huge fruit wholesale market, Baiyun City, as the center, has a lot to do.

And this matter will need to continue for three to five years, or even ten or 20 years, before it is possible to achieve initial results.

Because the planting of many fruit trees does not yield a harvest so quickly.

First of all, fruits that can be harvested quickly include watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberry, cantaloupe, etc. Among them, cantaloupe must not be grown here in Baiyun City.

why?
The sunshine time is still too short, so it must be in Xijiang Province.

After the cantaloupes are harvested in Xijiang Province, they can be flown directly to Baiyun City. Only in this way can they be sold at a good price.

As for not being able to sell it?There are a series of questions such as what to do if there is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.

You can sign a contract with Huimin Supermarket, and Huimin Supermarket will provide protection within a reasonable range.

Whether local farmers choose to cooperate in a conservative way or a risky way is entirely voluntary.

In addition to watermelon and other fruits, there are also cherries, yellow peaches, cherries, lychees, longans, Sanhua plums and other fruits.

In comparison, it takes longer to plant fruit trees for longan and other fruits, and the harvest may not be guaranteed, so the contracts will be different.

In the middle are fruits such as bananas and pink bananas. These fruits also need about half a year to a year.

There are also sugar cane and other agricultural economies that can be developed, and there simply don’t need to be too many.

"Leader, don't just focus on the factory. Once the agricultural economy develops, it will be no worse than the industrial economy. It can even increase the average GDP of a city."

This is the limitation of the times. Leaders’ vision is indeed not as long-term as many years.

But soon, the leaders also thought of a problem: that is transportation!
Even if so many fruits are grown, they must be shipped out as soon as possible after harvesting, otherwise they will easily rot in the fields.

"The transportation in Baiyun City is pretty good, right? No matter how bad it is, the surrounding water transportation is not bad either."

After a pause, he continued:
"That's why I said I wanted to invest in a fruit wholesale market. If there are no plane trees, how can we attract the golden phoenix?"

"Roads need to be built and the market needs investment. We need to do it step by step and there is no rush."

"Isn't the expressway from Xishui Village to Baiyun City now unblocked? If we promote the fruit agricultural economy I just mentioned along this expressway, are we afraid that no one will grow fruits?"

"Don't let too many people rush to plant a certain kind of fruit. It will be detrimental to sales. As the authorities, you must control this."

At this point, if these leaders still can't understand what he means, then he really has nothing to say.

Compared with the horizontal wholesale market, the two plans for the clothing wholesale market and the computer city are less entangled.

Let’s talk about the wholesale clothing market first. These require a lot of adventurous people to set up shop and dare to sell the clothes produced all over the country.

In the case of Computer City, it is very different.

It requires technical talents and cannot be accomplished in a day, so if you want to develop, you can only do it slowly.

Despite this, these three plans have made the leaders of Baiyun City full of confidence.

Once these three plans are launched, Baiyun City will definitely benefit from them.

"Comrade Xu, let's drink tea instead of wine and give you a toast!"

Everyone enjoyed this morning tea very happily.

For many years, I have eaten their so-called newest dish, which is the bird's nest egg tart.

Needless to say, this is really a luxury.

That is to say, it is already the period of reopening. Otherwise, how could such a top-notch bird's nest egg tart appear?

After eating enough, he left Baiyun City and headed north to Xishui Village.

When they arrived at the village, they were surprised to find that Lao Xu and Zhou Hongmei were working in the rice fields.

"Dad, Mom, why are you here to work? To experience life?"

Seeing the old couple in the field and seeing that they were in good spirits, he asked with a smile.

"I'm not your father yet. I insist on helping. Look, my skin is covered in red rash."

Zhou Hongmei suddenly started complaining like a child. As she stepped forward to check, she gave the third brother and sister-in-law beside her a questioning look.

Xu Baibai and Yao Chunxi shrugged helplessly.

Recently, it was their turn to accompany the old couple, but they couldn't persuade Old Xu.

With Lao Xu's arrogant temper, it would take many years to persuade him.

As for the third child, he, like the fourth child, is a super honest person. How could he possibly persuade Lao Xu?
After checking the condition of his mother's arm, he smiled lightly and said:
"It's okay, it's not a big problem. I'll apply some medicine on it later and it will be fine tomorrow."

But at this time, his eldest grandson Xu Shanhe had already come to the field, picked up the sickle and was about to help cut the rice.

This frightened Lao Xu, Zhou Hongmei, Qin Huairu and others.
