Chapter 706 A Great Start! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Within a few days, a simple snack and food street and an equally simple clothing street appeared around the main factory area of ​​Gulou Factory.

At the same time, an electronics street is under development, along with a purely commercial street, which is planned to house a large shopping mall and various affiliated shops.

For a time, the main factory area of ​​Gulou Factory was bustling with activity.

The snack and food street became the first to become popular. At that time, the number of licensed hotels and restaurants in Beijing was limited. Where else could you see a street full of local snacks and specialty restaurants?

I'll never forget it after just one bite, and I'll definitely come back next time I have the chance!
As a result, the snack and food street became incredibly popular as soon as it appeared!

The Nanhua faction cadres from Gulou Factory who handled this matter were all overjoyed and extremely excited.

People take food as their heaven!
Chinese people are quite willing to spend money on food. As long as the food tastes good and the hygiene is acceptable, they don't have to worry about not having business.

At first, the food stall owners and small restaurant owners, who felt abandoned by the factory, were struggling. Now, they are extremely busy and have started to think about taking over the shops and running them.

That's right, the stall owners and shop owners in the snack and food street were all originally part-time employees of the Gulou Factory.

If it weren't for Director Wu's personal guarantee, these employees with some kitchen skills wouldn't have been willing to do this part-time job.

Some felt ashamed, while others felt abandoned by the factory.

But they had no choice but to obey the factory's orders.

At this point, the positive effects of the clean and upright atmosphere within the Gulou Factory became fully apparent.

If it were any other factory, the unwilling part-time workers who were selected would definitely slack off and secretly rebel.

However, at the Gulou Factory, although the selected part-time employees were apprehensive or even quite unhappy, they still worked diligently and busily when the snack street opened.

The busy work turned out to be quite something; when it came time to settle the accounts, everyone was truly stunned by the booming business.

Even the worst-performing business still had a daily turnover of over thirty yuan and a profit of over ten yuan, and this was just the beginning.

As the food street gains more fame, the food vendors become more motivated and their skills improve, they will definitely earn more.

Some quick-thinking and daring part-time workers thought they would see how the business performed over a month before deciding whether to take over the stall or shop directly.

Those seeking stability can continue working part-time, since the rent for stalls and shops is very low, and they only need to share the profits directly with the factory.

The cadres in charge of planning and organizing the food street organized surplus temporary workers from the factory to supply raw materials for the food street.

As long as the raw materials are of good quality and meet hygiene standards, they can continuously earn the price difference.

In no time, hundreds, even nearly a thousand, temporary workers were properly settled.

At least in the short term, the supply of raw materials for the snack food street is enough for them to earn their first pot of gold.

At the same time, the number of part-time employees operating the snack street easily exceeded two thousand, and with other support staff, three to four thousand employees were completely stabilized here.

The factory workstations they vacated were naturally taken over by temporary workers.

The actions of Gulou Factory left its counterparts in the street, city government, and industrial systems dumbfounded.

Little did they know that such a situation was not unusual in Nanhua or other regions with developed commodity economies.

It was about the business license. Because of Nanhua's sudden emergence, the pace of reform and opening up in China was a little faster than usual. In 1980, the first restaurant business license was issued in Beijing, which caused quite a stir at the time.

However, for various reasons, the number of people willing to actively and proactively start their own businesses is still too small.

They all rely on young people with little capital; they don't even know how to apply for a business license.

The food street set up by Gulou Factory had all its stalls and shops registered under the factory's name, making the process quite easy and quick.

The situation is largely the same on the clothing street.

In short, all kinds of fashionable clothing were snapped up by young people who love fashion trends as soon as they appeared.

As for the source of the clothing, Gulou Factory directly contacted the staff in Pengcheng and transported it to Beijing by the train carload.

They all have official seals, and with security personnel accompanying the vehicles, there's no need to worry about them being detained on the way!

Back then, because of the export of mountain bikes and motorcycles, Gulou Factory set up offices in Huacheng and Pengcheng.

Even bicycle and motorcycle factories were established there, all operated with the help of skilled workers and engineers dispatched by the Gulou Factory.

Even though the export volume and scale had declined to varying degrees due to the inability to launch new products in a timely manner, Gulou Factory still had plenty of connections in Guangdong Province.

As long as there is a sufficient supply of trendy clothes, the clothing street will naturally never be quiet.

After all, it was a well-known large factory like Gulou Factory that directly stepped in, which was much better than Xiushui Street, which was still run by small individual businesses at the time.

Similarly, the clothing street directly employed two to three thousand part-time workers, and the number of temporary workers for various odd jobs also exceeded one thousand.

In this way, another three or four thousand employees found a new way out.

In Beijing right now, as long as you take the first step and there are no quality or hygiene issues, or other unfortunate factors, accumulating a considerable fortune is not a difficult thing.

It's possible that in a few years, the snack and food streets and clothing streets will see a large number of people with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan in assets.

I reckon there will be another round of complications and trouble then.

However, back then it would have been an internal conflict of interest within the factory, which would have been much easier to resolve than the current situation where the entire factory is facing problems.

With the success of the snack street and clothing street, the entire Gulou Factory team was naturally full of confidence for the electronics street and the commercial street as well.

Some bolder full-time employees have already started working on it secretly.

Meanwhile, the young and middle-aged factory workers in charge of the matter were getting things going more smoothly, at least when it came to recruiting regular employees, there was less trouble and resistance.

As a result, before the street and city governments could even approach them, the people from the bicycle and motorcycle factories came to them on their own initiative.

The request is simple: we hope the head office can treat everyone equally and not forget them when they get the meat; at least let them have a taste of the soup.

This situation left Wu Zhi feeling both amused and exasperated.

It was a good thing, so he simply pushed it all onto those young and middle-aged cadres, letting them figure out a solution. He was determined not to get involved or participate.
