Back to 1979: Sending the Educated Youth’s Wife Back to the City

Chapter 101 New Business
As soon as Fang Mingche entered the room, Lin Yan asked anxiously, "How is it?"

He reported his total score, "Same as yours, a little shaky."

"But at least you have an undergraduate degree to study."

Yanyan frowned as she ate with the short chopsticks her father made for her. Why are both her father and mother's grades a little uncertain?
Then she must be more well behaved these days.

After eating, Lin Yan put the dishes away and washed them.

Fang Mingche worked in the hot sun all day, so naturally all the housework was hers. In a family, there must be a division of labor.

Lin Yan has stopped using contraception and is preparing to have a second child as soon as possible.

However, everything will depend on which school the two of them get into this time.

Fortunately, this place is indeed the center of the capital and not too far from anywhere.

Teacher Gao and Zhu Dahai came over soon after. "How is it? Is it okay to stay in the capital?"

Fang Mingche reported his total score, "It will be no problem to stay in the capital. The question is whether I can get into my first choice."

He applied for transfer. The Chinese Department is one of the most popular departments nowadays, with many applicants. The competition is quite intense.

As long as he can be admitted to Beijing Normal University, it is fine to transfer him to other departments.

After all, it is a 985 or 211 university in the future. It is several levels better than Capital Normal University.

Teacher Gao said, "It would be great if we could stay in the capital. What new business are you talking about? No, I want to ask what kind of preparatory work we can do first."

It's definitely not a good idea to ask people directly what kind of business they want to do. They will probably suspect you're trying to steal their business.

Fang Mingche nodded. Now that he knew his college entrance exam scores, he could indeed make this plan.

It would be too late to wait until the end of August when the tea stall business is closed.

But, "Teacher Gao, Dahai, we are all without any roots. It is not easy for us to get a safe and profitable business. I opened the big bowl tea stall just because I hit the right spot."

It hit the point that 1700 million educated youth returned to the city, and the government made it very convenient for them to find jobs.

But at the end of May, Tiananmen Square was rectified and stalls could only be set up in designated areas. And those from collective units were given a stall.

But if individual business owners want to work on their own, they can’t do it anymore.

If he hadn't relied on the handicraft cooperative, he would never have been able to get a spot for that cart stall.

Not to mention the 30 yuan rent. If he hadn't been asked to translate for them and they owed him a favor, the people in the cooperative would have stopped playing with him a long time ago.

Even though Song Quan is a small leader inside, he cannot make the decision.

In the past few days, the craftsmen have made slow progress in learning English, and some people have speculated that it is because he is "the cat teaching the tiger to climb a tree and has kept a trick up his sleeve."

Tsk, they all feel good about themselves. Learning a language requires talent!
Wang Dexian learns quickly because he has a natural talent for languages and he studies full-time. His brain is much brighter than that of ordinary people.

In a class, there are good students and poor students.

If it weren't for the last 40 days, the tea stall could still earn 800. If there were defective products from the supply and marketing cooperative, it could be over a thousand.

Moreover, he had already said that he would exchange teaching English for a new job, so he really wanted to quit.

Wang Dexian was at least polite to him and was generous in giving him money and wine.

In short, it is impossible to have a good business like setting up a big bowl tea stall in Tiananmen Square and taking advantage of the huge customer flow. Fang Mingche had to remind the two people in front of him.

Zhu Dahai also knew that there would never be such a good thing again. If the stall was not opened thanks to Fang Mingche, he would have done it himself long ago.

On his own, he would definitely not be able to get that position in the cooperative.

If it were far away, it would be impossible to have such a good business. It would be impossible to sell so many large bowls of tea in one day in other places.

It's better to follow Xiao Fang, it's more stable. You don't have to be responsible for your own profits and losses!
After 25 days of returning home, Xiao Fang earned 125 yuan, which, combined with the previous earnings, was 200 yuan.

In fact, he also tried to rent a tricycle from his neighbor in the compound these days, bought a teapot and tea bowls, brought his own honeycomb coal stove, and rode out to hawk his wares along the way.

But there is absolutely no business on the street. People boil water at home and drink as much as they want. Why spend money to buy his?

Street vendors are no longer allowed in the square.

If he dared to steal business from the designated area in Dashilan near the square, those who had stalls and paid rent would simply not let him go.

As for being a peddler, he had no acquaintances in the supply and marketing cooperative and could not get any source of goods.

The defective products from the supply and marketing cooperatives are actually the best products on the black market. It doesn't matter, it's impossible to get them.

Teacher Gao said, "Xiao Fang, what do you want to say? Speak clearly."

"The business I'm going to do next may be very different from what you imagine. Dahai, I told you to be a peddler before, but if you can't get the goods from the supply and marketing cooperative, you can't even be a peddler."

Being a peddler was already somewhat shameful. But the new business he was going to do was even more shameful. It was dirty, tiring, and the working environment was not good.

Teacher Gao frowned. What kind of business is this?
Zhu Dahai was silent for a while. "It doesn't matter what kind of business it is, as long as I can make a living. Of course, I dare not do anything illegal or criminal."

"You dare, but I don't. I finally got into college. Teacher Gao is fine. I can work as an accountant under the name of work-study program to earn some extra money. I don't even have to work in the office! But Dahai, your job is really hard. Well, if you want to take the initiative, help me find a place first. You can find a yard of 200 to 300 square meters in the suburbs first, preferably one with a large garbage dump nearby. It would be best if the rent can be paid in short terms. If you work with me in the future, I will pay you based on the average salary. If you don't work with me, you can pay it in one lump sum."

Although they say that we are not allowed to hire people now, people like Nian Guangjiu are secretly hiring people.

Fang Mingche was going to college, so he would definitely need to hire a few helpers to run his business, but the number couldn't be too many, no more than eight.

After all, he was in the imperial city, and he didn't want to be a bad example.

Therefore, the most convenient arrangement would be to count Teacher Gao as a college student working and studying so that he does not take up a quota.

The legal system has not been sound in recent years, and the old and new have been replaced by each other, causing all kinds of chaos.

In 1983, Mou Zonghong was arrested for speculation.

In fact, he just sold the table clocks he bought from other places for a high price. Because of the huge quantity, he made a lot of money. So he was reported!
If the paper he wrote in prison on reform and opening up had not alarmed the chief architect, he would not have been released so quickly.

It can be said that the first generation of people who went into business during the reform and opening up all tested the law with their own bodies, and they really must be cautious at all times.

Zhu Dahai nodded, "Okay, I'll borrow a bicycle and go out for a run tomorrow."

Although it is the hottest time of the year, since Xiao Fang said that he would get a day's pay for a day's work, it is better than him sitting at home with no income.

But what business needs to be near a garbage dump?
This working environment is really bad.

Teacher Gao pushed his glasses and said incredulously, "Xiao Fang, you don't want to collect waste, do you?"
