Chapter 438 Individual
Although Li Yancheng had advised this old classmate to give up his business before, his words were always rather obscure, and he only hinted at it implicitly in his words, and he would never say it directly like he did today.

It was the first time Zhu Yongyang heard such straightforward advice and he didn’t know how to respond.

Give up?
What should I do with my brothers?
do not give up?
Today this old classmate put it so bluntly. He is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart. Without a certain amount of brains and courage, it would have been impossible for him to make money in those days.

Zhu Yongyang knew very well that if he refused today, his relationship with this old classmate might end here.

but……

Seeing that he was silent and just smoking, Li Yancheng didn't say anything else. He picked up the teacup on the stone table and drank a sip of water. He then picked up the pot of tea that his wife had just made and refilled it. He also sat there and smoked silently.

Only after he finished the cigarette in his hand and put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray on the table did Zhu Yongyang let out a sigh and asked hesitantly.

"Dacheng, is... is there going to be any movement?"

"There has always been some movement. You know that we have never been allowed to trade bills freely." Li Yancheng added with a smile.

"I……"

Ok?
Just when Zhu Yongyang was about to say something, he was suddenly stunned. Something was not right. There was something else behind these words.

Trading bills? Is it not allowed to trade bills?

But what I do is not only dealing in bills, I also deal in some daily necessities that the people urgently need.

Didn't say it, or did I say...

Just when Zhu Yongyang was stunned, Li Yancheng spoke. He was not going to let his old classmate guess blindly.

"Okay, Old Zhu, stop thinking about it. What I mean is that you'd better stop dealing in those bills. Of course, if anyone under you wants to do it, you can let him do it, but you must get out of it.

As for the daily necessities you sell privately, such as clothes, shoes, canned fruits, etc., if you still want to continue selling them, you can, but you must be careful not to make such a big fuss about it, as if you are afraid that others don’t know that you have goods. It is best to find a way to slowly get rid of them.”

Hearing this, Zhu Yongyang already breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

As long as he could continue the business of dealing in these small things, then there would be no problem. As for getting himself out of it, he thought so even if Li Yancheng didn't say it.

Now that he has money, a wife and children at home, he no longer wants to risk his life doing these things as he did before.

"Don't worry, Dacheng. I will listen to you this time."

"Yeah," Li Yancheng nodded, thought about it and continued, "I know you have an active mind. If you are allowed to be idle at home, you will definitely not be able to do anything."

"Hehe" Zhu Yongyang smiled a little embarrassedly.

Ever since his parents passed away, he has had to take care of his younger siblings since he was very young, and this has lasted for nearly thirty years. Now, he is suddenly asked to do nothing and just enjoy himself at home, and he really can't sit still.

"Dacheng, you are in contact with the leaders every day. You understand the policies much better than the rest of us. Is there any reasonable and legal business you can do?"

"Don't tell me, it's true."

"What business?" When Zhu Yongyang heard Li Yancheng say that there was a reasonable and legal business to do, his eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.

After all these years of shuffling around, he now has at least hundreds of thousands of dollars in his hands. According to the current consumption level, even if he does nothing, he will never be able to spend all the money until he dies.

But he doesn't want to live a retired life and do nothing now. If there is a reasonable and legal opportunity to make money, he will definitely not miss it.

"house"

"Uh... Dacheng, what did you say? House...house?"

Zhu Yongyang looked at his old classmate sitting opposite him with an incredible look on his face, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

"Yes, it's the house."

"No, I don't understand what you mean. How can a house make money?"

The house Li Yancheng was referring to is commercial housing.

In 1979, a company in Shanghai launched dozens of residential houses, all of which were sold to the families of overseas Chinese. This was the prototype of domestic commercial housing.

In April this year, the top leaders clearly put forward the overall idea of ​​housing system reform and proposed to take the path of housing commercialization.

In June, the policy on commercial housing was officially implemented. After the idea of ​​commercial housing was put forward, individual pilot projects were first carried out across the country.

The Beijing city also got a pilot project, and several houses are under construction. As far as Li Yancheng knows, the largest house has an area of ​​more than 120 square meters and the smallest has an area of ​​more than 80 square meters.

The area mentioned here refers to the usable area, not the building area, and there is no common area. In other words, the area of ​​the house that falls into the hands of the residents is the actual amount stated.

Unlike later generations, not to mention the ridiculous public area percentage, the building area alone is enough to make people annoyed. If a house of 100 square meters has 70 square meters of actually usable area, it is considered good.

The final selling price of this batch of commercial housing under pilot construction has not yet been calculated, but the largest house will not cost more than 5,000 yuan.

This five thousand yuan is for a set, not per square meter.

Of course, the current average annual income of employees across the country is only about 800 yuan, so 5,000 yuan is a considerable sum of money for anyone.

The most important thing is that no one bought this batch of commercial housing after it was launched.

Those who have jobs are waiting for their companies to build houses for them. As for those who don’t have jobs, they can’t afford to buy a house even if they want to.

Some people want to buy but don’t dare to. Why? They are worried that they will be the first to be shot.

"house……"

……

"Director Shen, you guys are busy all day long and can't stop."

"We can't help it, Director Jin. I don't know what's going on these days. Public security incidents are happening frequently. Someone is getting beaten up here or chopped up there."

"Killing people is still a public security case?" Jin Zhihai raised his eyebrows and asked the chief of the police station under the Dianhai Branch who just entered the room.

"The beatings were not severe, and the victims were willing to reconcile. They were just a bunch of young guys, and if they said something wrong, they would get angry. Now that they have been caught after the beating, they are scared, and their families are running around begging for mercy.

Seeing that we were willing to pay for the medical expenses and compensation, the victim agreed to the settlement. As for us…"

At this point, Director Shen looked at Jin Zhihai and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Director Jin, you also came from our grassroots. The police station is short of policemen. Both parties are willing to reconcile. We... hehe!"

Less trouble is worse than more trouble. Jin Zhihai nodded and was about to change the subject to the investigation and interview of the August 28 Incident, when he suddenly thought of something.

"Director Shen, you just said that there have been many public security incidents during this period?"

"Yes, actually it's not just this period. Since last year, cases of fighting, stealing, and even robbery have increased."

"Educated Youth"

"Ah?" Director Shen was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Director Jin, what do you mean by educated youth?"

"I wonder if the parties involved in these cases are all educated youth. Let's put it this way, are all the suspects educated youth?"

"Uh... this... I haven't really noticed this. Director Jin, why do you think it's an educated youth?"

"You should first check the files of the public security cases handled during this period and see the situation first." Jin Zhihai did not answer Director Shen's question, but just tapped the table with his fingers.

He thought of the educated youth because Li Yancheng once mentioned to him during a conversation that the educated youth who had gone to the countryside in previous years had nothing to do after returning, and would definitely make trouble.

If the poor security environment is really related to these educated youth, we still have to report it to our superiors and think of a way to solve this problem.

Of course, the public security department cannot solve this problem. This is not a problem that can be solved by arresting a group of people, detaining a group of people, or targeting a group of people.

Doing that can only suppress it temporarily.

He remembered Li Yancheng saying that in order to solve the problem from the root, these people still had to be given something to do.

Only when these idle people who imitate the donkey's bray have something to do and can earn money to eat, will they no longer wander around the streets out of boredom.

In fact, the higher-ups have noticed this problem a long time ago. The document issued at the beginning of this year to allow the development of individual economy was intended to solve the problem of unemployed vagrants.

At the lower levels, especially in the mainland, the individual economy is developing slowly because people do not fully understand the policies and the leadership is rather cautious. People are still doing business secretly, fearing that any setbacks in policies will put them in trouble.

Beijing is the capital of the country, and has a thorough understanding of some newly introduced policies. In just a few months, thousands of self-employed individuals have been registered. If this number is expanded to the whole country, the number will reach tens of thousands by the end of this year.

In another two or three years, the number of registered self-employed individuals nationwide will exceed one million.

There are even more people who do not register and set up stalls privately.

Developing the individual economy is actually an experiment.

The carrying capacity of the individual economy is still a bit small and cannot bear the weight of national development. The development of the private economy is inevitable, it is just a matter of time.

"Self-employed?" Before they figured out the house issue, Li Yancheng turned to self-employed. This was a big turn, and Zhu Yongyang felt his head buzzing.
"Yes, register as a self-employed person."

"Dacheng, I know there are documents up there, but..."

Zhu Yongyang looked embarrassed.

There are indeed many people who register as self-employed individuals, but in fact, these people are also very fearful when doing so. What if something unexpected happens? What if the policy changes?

Not to mention, the policies in some places have actually changed. Things seemed fine this year, but problems occurred in several places next year or the year after.

In fact, how should we put it? Self-employed individuals emphasize the individual.

But in some places and some people, they have turned individual businesses into private ones.

Hiring people for work!

This is of a completely different nature.

As a self-employed person, it doesn't matter if you and your wife bring your parents to work with you, but if you hire outsiders to do the work and pay them wages, don't you become a capitalist?

You are crossing the river by feeling the stones. Others are moving forward cautiously centimeter by centimeter, but you take a big step forward, which is bound to cause trouble.

For Zhu Yongyang, his brothers who make a living are working for him, and he distributes all the money they earn, so he dares to be a self-employed person and hire people...

"But what?" Li Yancheng said with a smile: "You can ask them to register as self-employed individuals, and the relationship between you two can be a cooperative one, right?"

!!!

Zhu Yongyang's eyes were bigger than a cow's, and his eyeballs almost popped out of his sockets.

Damn! Can we still play like this?

Li Yancheng learned this method from the Yellow Kangaroo in later generations. In order to avoid having any labor relationship with the millions of riders, the Yellow Kangaroo also put in a lot of effort in its human resources.

"But Lao Zhu, if you want to run a business on your own, you have to work through formal channels. You have accumulated a lot of connections over the years. Try to find a way to sell some daily necessities that are not planned and that the people urgently need. Don't just focus on the city. You can also arrange for people to carry goods to the counties below to sell. As long as the price is cheap, the goods are good, and no tickets are required, it is easy to make money."

The south has not developed yet. Once it develops, there will be more backpackers traveling back and forth.

You can actually buy cheap goods there now, but they are all smuggled goods. Those places near the sea make their living from the sea, and the production teams have boats, but fishing is so tiring. More and more people are trying to get rich through illegal means. People in those places have many overseas connections and their methods are unconventional.

It is said that there are many people doing this in the whole village.

But if you get caught with that stuff, even if you're just a seller, haha...

Being fined to bankruptcy is the cheapest punishment. In some villages, there are almost no young and middle-aged people left after the big operation.

In addition, Zhu Yongyang is now dealing in receipts. If you sell some non-planned daily necessities obtained through connections, even if they are large and valuable items such as fans, televisions, bicycles, etc., as long as they have a source, they will be turned a blind eye if they are discovered, and at worst they will be confiscated.

But if you continue to deal in bills now, you will definitely be stuck in it in three years.

By that time, no one among the relationships Zhu Yongyang maintained would dare to speak for him.

Not to mention those people, even Li Yancheng wouldn't dare to do that. By that time, more than one or two of those generations who are now free and easy will be killed. The dust of the times may seem light, but it weighs more than a thousand pounds no matter whose shoulders it falls on.

Li Yancheng didn't want his old classmate to be dragged out for public trial and shooting in the future, so he told Zhu Yongyang so much.

As for whether he is willing to listen or not, that is his own choice.

Everyone has his own choices. No matter how good the relationship is, he can help once or twice, but it is impossible for him to help all the time.

He has said so much and even pointed out the way out, but if Zhu Yongyang still doesn't know what is good for him, then he doesn't mind moving a bench and watching the show in the future.
