Mixed in 1980

Chapter 172 Killing without a knife
No one stopped Chen Fan from getting beaten.

Guan Yuemei even hit him twice more, saying that the little bastard was not speaking human language.

What did he say at the beginning? What do you mean by self-employed people are not respectable? Only those with money in their pockets are respectable. If you own a few shops, who dares to say that you are not respectable?
Chen Min and his wife did the same thing. They started setting up a stall in 1980. They worked under wind, sun and rain and finally opened the store, and their business got on track.

Now that you have a shop, are you going to sell it out?

"Don't get excited yet, can't you just listen to me?"

Chen Fan already had a plan in mind. He took his sister's arm and went into the restaurant to sit down. "Are you really addicted to running small businesses? Are you planning to run these small businesses for the rest of your life?"

Chen Min stared and began to grit his teeth, planning to take action again. Chen Fan quickly explained: "We have already established a connection in Hong Kong, so it's time to make some big moves."

"After the Chinese New Year, we'll go to Hong Kong and spend some time there. We'll earn more than you guys would earn in a whole year. Just follow my instructions."

"That can't be given to them either." Chen Min was unconvinced.

"It has to be exchanged anyway. It doesn't matter who you exchange it to. It's not given away for free. You have to pay the right amount. If they don't want to, just rest." Chen Fan comforted them.

"It's a bargain for their family."

Chen Min gritted her teeth and glared at her husband: "They will definitely come back later. Tell them to remember that the money cannot be lost even a penny."

"Do we really want to give it to them?" Zhang Yunfan frowned.

They are called family, but I have no place in that family. I just have to visit them during the holidays and just keep up the good work for the sake of face. How can I give up my "livelihood" to them?

Without a livelihood, even if you starve to death in the future, that family won’t even look at you.

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, exchange it out. This year, our family will change the way we do things and exchange it out to them. This will make our family more harmonious. After all, you are a family."

"My brother said, just do as you are told."

Chen Min was furious and decided on the matter. Since her brother said so, there must be a better arrangement and there was no need to consider anything else.

"Don't think about anything else now that things are settled. The New Year's Eve dinner isn't ready yet. Hurry up and come over to help." Chen Fan smiled and went to the kitchen to get busy.

Xu Jinqiu came over to help, muttering quietly: "What bad things are you planning?"

After being together for so long, Xu Jinqiu already knew Chen Fan well enough. This man was very petty when it came to his family.

How could I watch others plotting against my own sister's property and then give them a helping hand?
There must be some calculation behind this.

Chen Fan smiled and said nothing. He was busy with his work. It took him a lot of effort to cook a large table of dishes. The whole family had a reunion dinner together.

This year, Xu Jinqiu and Zeng A'li both celebrated the New Year at home. The New Year's Eve was particularly lively. The two girls, Chen Yi and Xiaoxi, were particularly happy and received a stack of red envelopes.

Chen Yi has learned his lesson this year. He took the red envelope and ran away. No one knew where he hid it. I don’t know how long he can last. Anyway, Chen Fan didn’t hide his money when he was a child, so his mother took it all away.

After handing out the red envelopes, the whole family moved to the living room to make tea and chat, and turned on the TV for the two girls to watch. However, the Spring Festival Gala had not yet started, so it was less fun.

The Spring Festival Gala in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s was quite interesting. The purpose was just to have fun and celebrate the New Year happily without too many unexpected things.

People in Beijing have to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year. If there is a Spring Festival Gala, it can help kill time. But playing mahjong is also fine. At the beginning, no one knew how to play it. After playing two rounds, Chen Fan was kicked off the table.

Xu Jinqiu made a pot of tea, called Chen Fan over, and asked in a low voice: "What are you planning today? Why did you let our sister sell the store?"

Chen Fan glanced at the mahjong table: "The wind is going to blow!"

Xu Jinqiu shuddered. For people of their age, the words "windy" and "windy" had extremely unusual meanings.

"For those who are in the individual economy, it just happened that my sister jumped out. If any family wants it, let them step in. If they really get into trouble, they can only blame themselves for being greedy."

Reform and opening up is never achieved overnight.

After the individual economy was liberalized, social vitality recovered very quickly. In just a few years, the number of households involved in the individual economy exceeded 500 million, and the number of employees exceeded million.

However, the changes in the economic structure have also caused obvious problems. This year, the individual economy will be rectified, and there are too many things involved.

Generally speaking, the first few years of reform and opening up opened up a new gap. For the private economy, 1984 was the real spring.

In that year, companies such as Lenovo, Delixi, Vanke, Jianlibao, Great Wall, Solitaire, Xintong, and Kehai were established, and it was hailed as the first year of private enterprises!
"If they run their business honestly and don't take advantage of others, there won't be any problem. But do you think that family can run their business honestly?"

Hearing this, Xu Jinqiu curled his lips in disdain.

He even wants to take away his own family's property. Such a person is truly greedy. When he sees an opportunity to make money, can he choose to do business honestly?

Even if they want to do business honestly, Chen Fan will not allow it. He might even help them with advice and play a trick of flattery to death.

This was indeed the case. After the New Year, Chen Min and his wife sold the shop and even changed all the information on the industrial and commercial registration.

After the Zhang family took over the shop, Chen Fan came to congratulate them with gifts, saying that it was a waste to sell these things in such a big store. He also said that Chen Min and his wife didn't have enough manpower and couldn't handle it. Since you have enough manpower, you should enrich the goods to make it cost-effective.

Xu Jinqiu listened on the side with a smile on her face. She liked Chen Fan's mean and bad look, as he was able to protect his family well.

You deserve it for being greedy!
From then on, every weekend when she passed by here on her way home, Xu Jinqiu would stop to take a look, and every time she would smile, the goods were indeed rich, and she could earn more. Until the end of May, Chen Fan had to go to Hong Kong for something, and he had completed the formalities for the whole family and planned to go to Hong Kong for a few days. Then, news came from the Zhang family that the third son of the Zhang family had been imprisoned.

The reason is very simple. They sold things that shouldn’t have been sold and they didn’t sort out the taxes. These are not big problems and they can be passed off as such by turning a blind eye under normal circumstances.

But stuck at this point, I can only pray for the best.

The "Zhewen" area made the front page a few days ago. Eight leading figures who performed outstandingly in many industries such as hardware, mining lamps, screws, contracts, second-hand goods, catalogs, coils, and electrical appliances were all put in jail.

The media gave them a nickname: The Eight Kings of Zhejiang and Wenzhou!

Only Chen Fan knew that these eight people had not actually committed any crime. At most, they were guilty of minor tax evasion. They were released in 1984 and were hailed as pioneers of reform and opening up.

By the same token, the third son of the Zhang family doesn't have any major problems, but he shouldn't think about getting out in the next two years.

The Zhang family came over to ask Chen Fan for help, but Chen Fan had already taken his entire family on a plane to Hong Kong, leaving the Zhang family empty-handed.

Even after getting on the plane, Chen Min was still frightened when thinking back on these things. Fortunately, he sold the shop, otherwise who knows if he would be blamed.

Although I run my business honestly, strange things are bound to happen under the evil wind.

Sure enough, it was right to listen to my brother.

This guy has a long-term vision. She even suspected that Chen Fan had known all these things in advance and that was why he advised her to sell the store.

After all, this is not like his character.

Xu Jinqiu sat next to Chen Fan, also thinking about these things: "You are so mean, you sent him in without saying anything. The third son of the Zhang family is useless."

"They won't be useless, they will be out in a year or two. This time I'm teaching them a lesson. Don't just put money in your pocket. If I don't discipline them, they will be jealous when they see our sister making money in the future, and they will inevitably cause trouble."

"makes sense!"

Xu Jinqiu nodded. That family was indeed greedy and deserved this lesson. "What do you think about our sister? Which direction should we develop in?"

"Look at herself."

Chen Fan smiled, stood up, turned around, and started chatting with his father-in-law who was sitting behind him.

This time, in addition to the Chen family, the elderly couples from the Xu family, Zeng family, and Zhao family also came to Hong Kong, mainly to visit Zeng Ali and Zhao Yuanyuan.

Originally, they thought that a trip to Hong Kong would cost a lot of money and they were reluctant to spend the money, so they didn't want to come. Chen Fan persuaded them for a while, and finally used his trump card and told the three old comrades that he would take them to go sea fishing.

The three old comrades couldn't bear it any longer, so they went to their units to ask for leave that very day and were busy applying for visas.

Fisherman, it’s so easy to please!

Xu Jinqiu couldn't help rolling her eyes. This guy was amazing. He could always make his two fathers-in-law and Uncle Zhao happy.

The plane landed in Hong Kong. Zeng Ali and Zhao Yuanyuan came to pick us up and arranged a bus to take everyone to a luxury house in Repulse Bay.

The mansion was rented with the help of Li Hongying.

It occupies a very large area, with three buildings in total. Even with all the people living in it, it still seems spacious. Even in Hong Kong, it is one of the most luxurious houses.

Now that the property market has collapsed, the owner of the mansion wants to sell it. Li Hongying asked him at the time whether he wanted to buy it directly while the price was not high.

Chen Fan doesn't need this little money now.

Although he liked this luxury house very much, Chen Fan had no intention of buying it. Although the Hong Kong property market had collapsed, prices had not reached their freezing point, so it was not cost-effective to buy a house now.

Just wait!
Chen Fan has long been eyeing this piece of fat meat in the Hong Kong property market, and he is determined to take a bite of it no matter what.

After settling the family, Zeng Ali came over with the business plan: "I made some changes. Please take a look at it and see if it is suitable for implementation."

Plans are, after all, just plans!
Chen Fan had written it last year. His ideas were wild and imaginative, and somewhat irrelevant, but in the actual implementation process, he still had to consider the issue of implementation.

After studying at Feixing Clothing for so long, Zeng Ali has her own views on the clothing market and has been trying to modify the plan.

Chen Fan looked through it carefully. Some of the modifications were indeed very good, with a higher success rate for implementation, but some parts were really unbearable to read.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan couldn't help but frowning: "She is a very generous girl, why is she so stingy in business?"

Hearing this, Zeng Ali looked around and made sure her parents were not around. She reached out and twisted Chen Fan's waist hard: "I'm saving you money, don't be ungrateful."

"Are you short of this little money?"

Chen Fan rolled his eyes, pulled the man up, and called Xu Jinqiu and Zhao Yuanyuan: "Go to the bank and show you your financial situation. Don't think about saving money all day long."

Zhao Yuanyuan muttered, "It's not appropriate for me to go, right?"

"It gives you a good idea of what to do. You can be more generous when making plans with Big Sister in the future. If you want to build a luxury brand, you must not develop a stingy personality."
