60s: I have a store

Chapter 172 Store Upgrade
Without waiting any longer, Zhou Yimin recharged all the money into the store in his mind, and then chose to upgrade the store.

In an instant, the store in my mind showed that it was undergoing an upgrade and renovation, and there was a countdown. The countdown was 12 hours, which is half a day.

Next, Zhou Yimin had no choice but to wait.

When the store was upgrading, he couldn't even use the backpack in the store in his mind, and he couldn't take out the items stored in it, which made Zhou Yimin a little panicked.

Fortunately, the items in the basement are enough for the next week or two.

In the evening, Luo Dapeng came to tell Zhou Yimin that Uncle Zhang was looking for him and was waiting in the courtyard!
Zhou Yimin had originally been thinking of having a dinner with these people in the private courtyard, but upon hearing this, he immediately rushed back to the courtyard.

"Uncle Zhang, how come you are so free today?" Zhou Yimin unlocked the door and invited Uncle Zhang to come in and sit down.

When he is not at home, the door is usually locked. Although the atmosphere in their courtyard is very good, every household will still lock the door when no one is at home.

It's not like the plots in some TV dramas, where locking the door destroys the atmosphere of the courtyard house. What kind of logic is that?

It’s time to lock the door.

"Don't you want polyethylene film? My friend sent me a message saying that the quantity you want is a bit large, and he can't give it away for free. You can only buy it with money or exchange it with something else." Zhang Jianshe said as he found a chair to sit down after entering the house.

Every time he came to Zhou Yimin's place, Zhang Jianshe was speechless when he saw food on the table or filling up the cupboards. No wonder his girl always wanted to come here.

"That's what I should do." Zhou Yimin said with a smile.

He didn't expect anyone to give it to him as a gift!

However, he currently has no money and has used all his money to upgrade the store.

"Uncle Zhang, what does your friend want?" Zhou Yimin asked.

Seeing that Zhou Yimin had no intention of paying, Zhang Jianshe said appreciatively, "Food or something like that!"

It is right not to pay, after all, speculation is being severely cracked down on now. Of course, if you have to pay, it is better to pay in the name of the collective, such as the steel plant, Zhoujiazhuang, etc.

There is no need to worry about inspections when purchasing in the name of a collective.

Of course, even if you are exchanging things, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is best to exchange them in the name of the collective so that no one can find fault with them.

Now, almost every factory and every unit is short of food. There is no way! This is the general environment.

Zhang Jianshe gave Zhou Yimin some advice.

Since that batch of polyethylene film is to be used in Zhoujiazhuang, we should communicate with the people in Zhoujiazhuang and let them come forward to exchange it instead of doing it ourselves.

Zhou Yimin nodded: "Uncle Zhang, I had the same idea."

He is a person who would not take risks if he could avoid them.

In the future, we will try to let Zhoujiazhuang handle such matters.

"How to change it specifically?" Zhou Yimin asked again.

He was indeed quite envious of polyethylene film, which would allow crops to grow even in winter.

Zhang Jianshe had also discussed the exchange principles and plan with his friend, and now he told Zhou Yimin everything. The other party was not greedy and was not very picky, and both fine grains and coarse grains were fine with him.

After hearing this, Zhou Yimin nodded, thinking it was very reasonable.

"Okay, let's do this! Uncle Zhang, ask their factory to deliver the polyethylene film to Zhoujiazhuang, and then transport the grain back from Zhoujiazhuang."

After settling this serious matter, the two chatted about other things.

When Zhang Jianshe was leaving, Zhou Yimin took out two bottles of Lafite red wine and several pounds of meat jerky. He wanted to give Zhang's family some lobsters, but the lobsters were in the backpack at the store and could not be taken out.

"Wow! You are quite capable!"

Zhou Yimin rolled his eyes: "It's just wine! It's not something particularly high-end. I can make it myself if I have grapes." That's true.

Zhang Jianshe smiled, knowing that Zhou Yimin knew powerful people, so he stopped being polite with him. His daughter was going to marry this guy, so it wasn't too much to drink two bottles of his red wine, right?

Just as Zhang Jianshe was about to leave, he heard the sound of children practicing singing outside.

He listened to a few words and was very surprised.

When did such a song come out? He seemed to have never heard of it.

Zhou Yimin said to him, "Uncle Zhang, isn't our district going to hold some kind of cultural and artistic event? Each street will send a representative to participate. This song is our courtyard's secret weapon, so please don't leak it!"

"Did your institute create this?" Zhang Jianshe was even more surprised.

Zhou Yimin pointed at himself and smiled, feeling no guilt at all. Since he was going to be the plagiarist this time, it would be a bit hypocritical to think about all those nonsense.

He said generously: "I composed it. The uncles originally wanted me to participate, but I didn't have the time and energy. I just wrote a song for them and asked the children in the courtyard to participate."

Zhang Jianshe opened his mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time.

He thought to himself: Lao Zhou’s genes are pretty amazing!

After listening to the whole song, Zhang Jianshe left.

In the middle of the night, the store was upgraded and issued a "ding ding..." reminder sound, waking Zhou Yimin up.

Zhou Yimin hurriedly checked the store.

His eyes widened.

The store in my mind at this moment can no longer be described as a store. It is a large supermarket similar to the "RT-Mart" in later generations, which has almost all daily necessities.

Home appliances, clothing, wine and beverages, bakery, baby and children's products, cleaning supplies, shoes, household paper products, food, seasonal fish, meat and vegetables...

Zhou Yimin simply couldn't keep up.

He randomly looked at a product and found that the production date on it was all marked as 1960. This made Zhou Yimin feel relieved, otherwise it would be troublesome to take these products out in the future and they would need to be unpacked.

In addition, there is the 1 yuan flash sale area that Zhou Yimin is most concerned about.

Originally there were only two items, but now it has become 4 items per day, which is doubled.

However, the quantity remains the same, 100 jin, 100 pieces, etc.

比如今天的1元秒杀区，100斤核桃、100斤芝麻油、100只白条鸡，以及100条华子。

Without thinking twice, Zhou Yimin bought all these things for 1 yuan each and put them in his backpack in the store.

Zhou Yimin did not sleep until dawn. He went around the supermarket in the middle of the night and learned about the product divisions and prices in his mind.

Some things are still too advanced, such as home appliances, which are almost the same as those in the 21st century. Zhou Yimin even found mobile phones and computers.

Those things are a bit redundant for now and can’t be used even if they are taken out.

After dawn, Zhou Yimin ate something quickly and went to the steel plant.

"Use a car? Can you drive?" Section Chief Wang was surprised.

Are tricycles and bicycles no longer enough for you?
Their steel plant has its own trucks, more than 10 or 20 of them! Among them, several are under their logistics deployment.

After all, such a large factory requires a lot of expenses, and it cannot be done without vehicles for transportation.

It's no problem to dispatch a car for Zhou Yimin, but you don't even need a driver.
