My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 753 Reincarnation Keeps Repeating Itself
Using later technical terms.

Wei Dong started with sales channels, and after mastering the production system, he then went on to establish sales terminals.

He now effectively operates a closed loop, from production to sales, including intermediaries and transportation.

They even went so far as to enhance accommodation and catering at each node along this massive network.

Just ask him if this scale is profitable.

The key point is that he is unaware of it.

I just felt that I should open a supermarket or shopping mall to serve the public, and I didn't really care too much about making money.
I vaguely wanted to try and see if I could become like that later internet-famous supermarket owner.

Although I don't know if it was a staged result: "It's still quite interesting that the supermarket did it. Every move it makes involves people's livelihood and reputation. It's the same as that cake shop downstairs in Bailou."

Dong Xueqing held onto Yangmu tightly: "Yes, it's just like when we were transporting sand and gravel at the Shangzhou Wharf back then."

They seemed to recall that figure again, which made Wei Dong smile without saying anything, while Feng Chu lowered his head and pouted.

This significance has been magnified many times over.

There are always some people in the crowd who are naturally intelligent or lively and unconventional, and cannot stand a life that is routine and unchanging.

A seemingly orderly and uniform situation is the military, not life.

It's like a hole has been opened.

Allow all sorts of ideas to be tried.

To Wei Dong's surprise, there was such a strange and unusual shop.

The shops on the second and third floors are definitely mostly clothing stores.

But one shop seemed to be filled with all kinds of fabrics, with sewing machines on display.

Any woman who comes in can have her clothes draped or decorated in different ways, and instantly look fashionable. That's why the store is full of women who love beauty.

It's normal to sell cassette tapes, but the walls are covered with covers. Whatever cassette tape you want, they'll make a copy for you right away.

This seems to infringe on copyright, especially since it's being publicly copied like this.

But nobody cared about this at the time.

The walls next door were covered with comic books; you could pick one up and read it for just five cents.

The room was packed with children, like bean sprouts, all holding picture books.

Little Butterfly pulled hard on the reins, eager to go and see.

Only after Wei Dong quickly promised to bring back foreign comic books did he manage to calm down.

But the most crowded and lively place was the game room.

There are clever people everywhere. Rent a three-by-three-meter storefront for 120 yuan, set up two Famicoms, and tell me if you can make money or not.

The free market in Shangzhou mostly sells agricultural products. City dwellers with connections can only manage to sell a few items like floral fabrics, enamel basins, and other household goods.

This big city has all sorts of things.

Wei Dong then pointed out the psychological counseling shop in the corner to Erwa's mother.

With his white hair and otherworldly air, Cheng Lang sat in the back, acting like a living advertisement, giving people pulse readings and talking about life, while Yuan Yuanzi was busy giving emotional predictions at the computer in front.

If this happened in Hong Kong, the shops would have been completely destroyed.

Anyway, the whole family watched with great interest, and Lhamo Drolma also bought several sugar figurines, caterpillar accordions, and ghost face shells out of curiosity, which were obviously things she had never played with as a child.

It wasn't until my silly son started yelling that I remembered to go upstairs to eat.

The variety here is indeed much greater. The girls quickly stuffed their things into their bags and happily went around buying food. They ate everything from jelly noodles and cold shrimp to sour plum soup, corn cakes, and mung bean cakes, and they were full no matter what they ate.

Xiaodie finally set up a table on her father's head and started chewing.

They strolled around until noon, and the children even managed to take a nap in the office. Wei Dong was asked to go to the construction site of the budget hotel for another inspection, and he agreed with Xie Chengbin's idea of ​​turning the two rooftops into an open-air garden tea house.

When she took the family to the zoo, Dong Xueqing received data that the supermarket downstairs had sold over 1.2 million yuan!
It should be noted that most of the goods were clothing and garments used to make an impression.

Appliances from all over the country, mainly from Chengdu and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, were almost completely sold out!

Local specialties, pastries, and snacks that Wei Dong looked down upon were bought up in droves.

The city's purchasing power is actually not bad right now.

The prices of daily consumer goods are very low. Almost all urban residents are dual-income households. They live in subsidized housing and do not own cars. The one-child policy allows for only one child, and there is no need for "tiger parenting" (a term used to describe pushing children to excel academically).

In the 1980s, the savings of ordinary urban families were quite high. After saving for many years, there wasn't much to buy.

The question is, how strong is this wave of revenge spending?

Wei Dong was too embarrassed to go down to the supermarket to see the scene, lest he ruin his image if he didn't go and take the lead in moving the goods.

In the city, department stores still require ration coupons, resulting in a dismissive sales experience, but here you can buy whatever you want.

Anyway, Hong Tiancheng brought all the inventory from various factories, including clothing factories and jeans factories, and even brought computers to make an appearance.

By the afternoon, Wei Dong had asked the shopping street near the zoo to send their goods over as well.

The zoo is already packed with families with kids; let's make room for the shopping center.

There was a backlog of over four million units of goods in the previous inventory, so Sister Duan didn't dare to have them delivered to various places anymore, and now she's starting to regret it.

Although many people were caught sneaking things into the supermarket, the products still sold out.

According to the social news published in the Jiangzhou Evening News the next day, it seemed that the clothing on the streets of Jiangzhou had risen to a higher level!
After all, Xililai Clothing and X-Clothing Jeans didn't have any public sales outlets in Jiangzhou before.

They ship their products all over the country, but they haven't entered department stores or similar places in Jiangzhou. After all, the zoo isn't a legitimate sales channel, and they mainly sell T-shirts with animal elements.

When the Xintiandi Commercial Center was being developed, Wei Dong had the idea of ​​making the mall primarily focused on women's clothing. However, the schedule was disrupted around the Spring Festival, and the focus shifted to Pengzhen. Qin Yuye was also moved away and never returned, so there was definitely no organization of merchandise.

Therefore, we are still developing towards a comprehensive shopping mall, and we have no choice but to pile up all kinds of samples and trial products from the garment factory.

Instead, it created a diverse range of fashion styles.

Of course, the clothing stores on the second and third floors also made a huge contribution.

The streets of Jiangzhou after Children's Day were suddenly bursting with vibrant colors as a hundred flowers bloomed.

Those who satisfied Wei Dong were ready to leave immediately.

However, he received a call from Secretary Zhai in the city, informing him to attend a symposium with various sectors of society.

Wei Dong readily agreed and even brought Cheng Lang along.

I specifically told him to change into a Zhongshan suit.

This guy fastened his top button tightly, and carrying a small notebook and pen, he followed behind Rang Weidong like Ma Sanli.

Actually, things become quite clear as soon as you meet someone in the city.

Several leaders were present, but there was no handshake, polite conversation, or lengthy exchanges; a nod from a distance was enough for them to understand each other.

Then they all watched with blank expressions as Wei Dong was besieged by "all sectors of society"!
The theme is quite simple: the current situation in society where everyone is doing business and everyone is failing is a huge mistake!
Whether it's department stores or supply and marketing stations in the commercial system, or cultural enterprises and institutions, retired cadres all criticize this situation with great distress.

How can we allow so many people to buy and sell these games, to openly play such a poisonous weed as video game consoles, and for so much decadent and degenerate behavior to reappear in society?

When things got urgent, he stomped his cane on the floor, cursing that if things continued like this, the country would cease to be a country, education would cease to be education, and without reading and scientific research, how could the Four Modernizations be achieved...

Cheng Lang may have heard that district councilors in Hong Kong have such opportunities for face-to-face questioning and exchange.

I didn't expect that this also happened in mainland China, and they were even more rude, pointing their fingers and cursing!
No one stopped them from maintaining order.

Wei Dong watched quietly, observing the different reactions of people with different identities.

At this point, he can distinguish whether it's out of righteous indignation, self-interest, or ulterior motives.

There's no need to reveal that they're Hong Kong businessmen.

After these voices had been vented enough, he finally spoke: "Having said so much, the attitudes you all expressed can be roughly divided into two categories..."

He raised his fingers and gestured: "First, it's simply a sense of crisis, a feeling of difficulty accepting such a huge change in society. Second, it's because the business system they are in or lead has been impacted by the new situation of everyone engaging in business. Next, I'd like to explain to those of you in the first part."

There were at least thirty or forty people at the symposium, and their expressions instantly varied.

The first question is: "What basis do you have for believing that the country will cease to be a country and that learning will cease to be learning? No, it's just wishful thinking."

Then he began to speak eloquently: "The idea that everyone is going into business can't last. I'd rather see it as a result of the economic opening up and revitalization, with everyone wanting to try their hand at business. As for your concerns about not studying or doing research, about how a scalpel is less valuable than a butcher's knife, or that making missiles is less valuable than selling tea eggs, I say you're overthinking it. The seemingly ubiquitous rush into business will quickly eliminate the vast majority of people. Do you even know how to do business? Don't look down on commerce in the traditional social hierarchy of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants. It's an industry with a very low barrier to entry but an extremely high attrition rate. Most people will eventually just go back to doing what they're supposed to do, but the entire economic situation has already been enlivened by their participation and contributions."

This conclusion can only be drawn based on the observations of the past few decades: "The current situation where everyone is trying to do business, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that all families, whether they make money or not, will only urge more children to study and change their destiny. Compared to the unpredictability of doing business, knowledge is the most reliable investment. Even if they make money, they will make their children learn more knowledge to ensure their wealth. So your worries are that your logical thinking ability has been affected by your emotions."

He didn't mince words: "As for the fact that scalpel surgeons and missile engineers haven't received fair compensation, it's precisely because the entire society's economy is impoverished and barren that it can't provide better resources to support these important positions that don't directly generate economic benefits. Those who are heartbroken that the country is on the verge of collapse are precisely those who don't understand how difficult the national economy was a few years ago. If they did, they would work with us to revitalize the economy and contribute to the commodity economy, which would be much more useful than just standing by and pointing fingers."

Finally, they threw out some data: "Over the past three years, we have helped 26 third-tier factories and enterprises turn losses into profits and prevented tens of thousands of employees from losing their jobs. Do you know how many units in the Jiangzhou industrial and commercial systems are in dire straits? You have no right to speak without the right to investigate, so you should put away these presumptuous attitudes as soon as possible."

This is the main reason why Wei Dong is confident that Jiangzhou City will support him, or at least not oppose his actions.

Standing in their position, seeing so many units desperately needing support, those who are complacent and only rely on the state for financial assistance, it's incredibly difficult.
