Chapter 398 397. Small Commodity City in Beijing

"Are you kidding?" Du Chuan sat up straight. This was really not a trivial matter.

You should know that the reason why Pengcheng was able to build a small commodity city and was so successful was mainly because of the special economic zone status and policies given to it from above.

If we set up a small commodity city in Beijing, the meaning would be completely different.

The impact it brings is incomparable!

The special status of the capital city represents many things, and it is not the same as other cities.

Li Yuan said: "I'm not kidding you, the leaders have actually been discussing this matter for some time."

"Reform and opening up has become a foregone conclusion, and no one can change it, so the next step is to discuss what to do about it."

"It's great that you have set up such a small commodity city. First, it once again demonstrates the determination of the higher-ups, and second, it can greatly stimulate the development of individual businesses."

Du Chuan was really surprised. He didn't expect that the higher-ups were so determined this time.

But then Li Yuan continued, "Of course, we must not be too impatient at the beginning, so the small commodity city mainly provides services for the general public."

"After all, supplies are still in short supply in some places, so the small commodity city can be regarded as a way to fill this gap."

Du Chuan then remembered that various materials still required receipts.

In the past two years, he seldom used tickets to buy things. Some daily necessities were bought by Jinianqing, and most of the other food and drinks were delivered directly by Gulou Hotel.

As for the things he wanted to buy, most of them were bought in Hong Kong or the United States.

For a moment he almost forgot.

Du Chuan asked, "Does this mean that we don't need tickets to buy things in the small commodity city?"

Li Yuan said: "Of course, if we use tickets, then it will be the same as a department store."

You should know that now there is only one place selling things that does not require a ticket, which is the Friendship Store, but you do need foreign exchange coupons.

Once the Small Commodity City no longer requires tickets, Du Chuan has no idea how popular it will be.

But if you think about it carefully, this is perhaps something only Du Chuan can do.

This is because of foreign exchange. Du Chuan has very good relationships with various units.

He just needs to say hello and some supplies won’t be a hassle at all.

Don't underestimate this point. Although it can be done if the documents are issued from above, if there is a problem, it may have some bad effects.

This is in the capital, not anywhere else.

Although the exploration has already begun, each step needs to be steady.

That's why Du Chuan was surprised by this decision at the beginning.

This does not mean that Du Chuan will be blamed if any problem arises. Given his current situation, he does not need to worry about this at all.

If he were the only one to step in, not only would things be easier to resolve, but even if problems arose, no one would blame him.

After all, everyone still wants foreign exchange.

Most of the foreign exchange in Du Chuan's hands was spent. Anyone who knew the situation knew that Du Chuan was actually at a disadvantage.

Even some foreign currencies were directly converted into RMB, so this can be regarded as compensation for Du Chuan.

This is the reward for what Du Chuan had done before. All his efforts are visible and remembered.

"What do you need me to do?" Du Chuan asked. After thinking things through, Du Chuan no longer hesitated.

Li Yuan said: "It's very simple. We will build a small commodity city in the capital. Because we need to be more stable in the early stage, the entry of many commodities will be mainly based on units."

This is completely different from Pengcheng.

The small commodity city in Pengcheng is made up entirely of various small vendors.

Du Chuan said: "This is a simple matter, I can arrange it, but you mean that we can also allow some self-employed people to settle in the small commodity city, right?"

Li Yuan just said: "In principle, I won't refuse."

Okay, Du Chuan knew it would be like this, but it’s already pretty good.

"Okay, but where should it be built? Where is the land? And do we need some companies to invest in it?" Du Chuan asked continuously.

Except for the antique shop and the industries in Pengcheng, the rest of Du Chuan's domestic industries are in cooperation with various major organizations.

Although he holds the majority of shares, those units are still state-owned enterprises in name.

After all, there are so many workers. If they were all transferred to private enterprise employees at once, that would be a big problem.

That's why Du Chuan asked this question about the small commodity city.

"We still need to consider the location for construction. You should also come up with a plan and we can discuss the specific location." Li Yuan said.

Du Chuan is not an ordinary person. As long as Du Chuan does not go too far in this kind of matter, everyone will basically follow his opinion.

Of course, the relevant departments will also designate some areas for him to choose from, and he cannot just be given wherever he wants.

"As for the land issue, we will be responsible for the negotiation and there will be basically no problem." Although Li Yuan did not say it definitely, this is what he meant.

This is a project specified above, and all units need to cooperate.

"As for the matter of cooperation and shareholding, there is no need for that. It belongs entirely to you." Li Yuan explained the questions Du Chuan asked one by one.

Du Chuan nodded. This was actually a good thing, and he also thought of other things.

After all, the situation in Pengcheng is different, so Du Chuan plans to make some changes to the small commodity city in Beijing.

"I have an idea here, which is to build the small commodity city bigger, and also set up some other projects in it, such as some small amusement parks, billiard rooms and the like."

"After all, this is mainly aimed at serving the general public in Beijing."

“We can even add a cinema. If we do it, we have to do it the best.”

Du Chuan naturally learned this idea from large shopping malls in later generations.

Since we are going to do it, we might as well do it on a bigger scale. Besides, this is also an opportunity for Du Chuan.

He was planning to acquire a large piece of land, and perhaps this was his only chance.

What Du Chuan said is completely old-fashioned in later generations, but now it seems very fresh and forward-looking.

Anyway, Li Yuan became a little excited as he listened. This seemed to be quite good?

"Is it okay to stuff so many things in there?" Li Yuan asked.

Du Chuan spread his hands and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, this is just an experiment. We might as well give it a try. If it succeeds, this model may be promoted."

He really didn't know what the outcome would be. After all, those good ideas from later generations might not necessarily be successful in this era.
