Chapter 391 Monthly Income of One Million

"Sister Huizhen, Brother Cai, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just ate too much, just move around."

"Ok!"

When they came downstairs, Xu Huizhen asked Cai Quanwu to go over and settle the bill. The meal cost more than 160 yuan.

To be honest, the price is not high, considering that just two bottles of wine cost almost a hundred yuan.

There are eight dishes, all of which are famous dishes and also Qiurizhai’s signature dishes, and they only cost about 70 yuan.

In fact, the reason why there are so many is because we have Dongpo pork elbow, smoked chicken with mushrooms, firewood duck, and nine-turn large intestine. Otherwise, we wouldn’t spend so much money.

"As soon as he got outside the restaurant, Li Jiayi started driving."

"No need for Jiayi, we can just stroll back." Xu Huizhen said quickly.

"This is not close! Are you sure you want to walk back?" Li Jiayi asked.

"Ok!"

Looking at Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu's current appearance, Li Jiayi seemed to understand what was going on. He nodded and said, "Okay!"

The two of them weren't just strolling! They were helping to digest the food! After eating so much, if they didn't stroll to help digest the food, their stomachs would probably feel uncomfortable all afternoon.

To be honest, this made him speechless. No matter how delicious it was, he couldn't eat so much! Isn't this asking for trouble?
"Then let's go first."

"Okay, Sister Huizhen, Brother Cai, take care."

"Ok!"

After Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen left, Li Jiayi did not leave, but turned around and went into the hotel.

"Mr. Li."

"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment and looked at the waiter speechlessly.

They are not allowed to call him boss, now they just call him Mr. Li.

But this is also good, because at this time, anyone who does business will be called this or that.

Even if someone heard it, no one would think he was the owner of the restaurant.

"Is Mr. Lin here?"

"Yes, in the office."

"Oh, I see."

Soon Li Jiayi arrived at the door of the innermost office on the first floor, which was Lin Ling'er's office.

Not only here, the general manager offices of the three stores are all in one location, and they are all Lin Ling'er's office.

"Knock knock knock." Li Jiayi knocked on the door.

"Enter!"

As soon as Li Jiayi opened the door and walked in, he saw Lin Linger writing something.

Hearing the door open, Lin Linger raised her head and blinked when she saw it was him coming in.

Then he asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"

"Uh! Didn't anyone tell you that I was coming?" Li Jia asked after a moment of surprise.

"No! Have you come here a long time ago?"

"Yes, I came here to eat with someone."

After Li Jiayi finished speaking, he walked over and sat down opposite Lin Linger, with an office desk between the two of them.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming here to eat with others?"

"It's someone else's treat. If you, the boss, were to show up, would you still accept the money?"

"Hahaha, you! That's just a few dollars for the meal!" Lin Ling'er shook her head speechlessly.

"Alas, you don't know how expensive it is to be the head of a household. A meal cost more than a hundred yuan! This is enough to pay two or three waiters a month's salary."

"Well! You're still good at settling accounts."

Lin Ling'er didn't know what to say. Not to mention that there were three restaurants making money, even this one restaurant had a net profit of more than 300,000 yuan per month. What was more than a hundred yuan?

You have to know that this was in 1979! An income of over a million per month, what does that mean?

You should know that the average salary per person is only more than 40 yuan now.

Please note that this refers to per capita wage, not per capita income.

Per capita wage refers to people with jobs, while per capita income includes everyone. These are two different concepts!

Let me put it this way, at present, if we only count people with urban household registration, the average income per person will not exceed ten yuan per month.

If all people with rural household registration are included, the per capita income will be even lower.

Not to mention now, even in the 1990s, a household with an annual income of 10,000 yuan was considered very impressive.

He now earns millions every month. Even when her family was at its most prosperous, they might not have earned that much.

Of course, Li Jiayi was just joking, mainly because he didn't want others to know.

At least I don’t want others to know for now. As for when they find out in the future, I’ll tell you then.

"Are you busy this afternoon?"

Hearing Lin Linger's question, Li Jiayi thought for a moment and said, "There really is something."

"If you have something to do, forget it."

"What's the matter?" Li Jiayi asked.

"I wanted you to take me to two other stores this afternoon, but forget it since you're busy."

"Don't go this afternoon. Come with me to the district bureau."

"Uh! Why are you going to the district office?"

"I got you a car. Go to the district bureau to get it licensed. I'll also get you a driver's license."

"Ah! You got me a car?"

"Yup!"

Lin Ling'er can drive and her skills are pretty good, but she doesn't have a driver's license yet.

This is mainly because she doesn't have a car. Sometimes when Li Jiayi is free, she will drive for a while, or drive on the way to Lijia Village.

"A Lincoln."

"Lincoln, a foreign car?"

Li Jiayi spread his hands and asked, "Are there any cars in the country now?"

This is not to say that Li Jiayi is worshipping foreign things, but mainly because there were really no cars in the country at that time.

Even joint venture cars are not available now, so that's why he said that.

Most of the cars on the domestic roads now are imported, such as Lada, GAZ-69, and imported Santana.

During the afternoon working hours, Li Jiayi drove his jeep to a house and stopped the car.

He got out of the car and said to Lin Linger, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go get the car out."

This is also his house, and it is a property that Lin Ling'er knows about.

Li Jiayi went over and opened the gate. After entering, he let out two cars, a Lincoln and a GAZ-69.

First drive the Lincoln out, then go in and drive the GAZ-69 out.

"Why two?"

"Well! The other one has another use."

"All right!"

He locked the gate and said, "You drive the Lincoln in front and I'll follow you."

"Ok!"

There was no such thing as checking driver's licenses in this era. The reason why Li Jiayi applied for a driver's license for Lin Ling'er was because it would be more troublesome to get one in the future.

Yes, you will need to take a driving test once you get on track, especially in the first few years after the reform.

After arriving at the district bureau and parking the car in the compound, Li Jiayi took Lin Linger to his eldest sister's office.

"Why are you two here at this time?" The eldest sister asked in surprise when she saw them come in.

"Sister, we came to see you about something." Lin Ling'er said.

"What's the matter?" Lin Ling'er turned her head and looked at Li Jiayi and said, "Jiayi got me a car, so I want you to help me get a driver's license and also get the license plate."

"You can do that! You already have a car."

"Isn't this for convenience?" Li Jiayi said, touching his nose.

There is someone in the court who can do things easily!

In less than an hour, Lin Linger got her driver's license, and both cars were registered.

After saying goodbye to his elder sister, Li Jiayi asked Lin Ling'er to drive back.

He himself drove the newly registered GAZ-69 to the Xuri Real Estate Company.

When Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu saw this brand new GAZ-69, they simply couldn't let it go!
"Add one! Even though you got us a car, none of us can drive it!"

"Sister Huizhen, first find someone who can drive to be your driver. You can also learn! Once you learn, go get a driver's license."

“Is this thing easy to learn?”

“Very studious.”

Li Jiayi was not wrong. In this era, as long as you know how to shift gears, step on the accelerator and brake, you have learned it.

Because there are only a few cars on the road at that time, you will be able to do it after driving for a while and becoming familiar with it.

Unlike later generations, where cars are packed tightly together on the road, one wouldn’t dare drive on the road without practice.

"Okay, then let's find someone who can drive first, and then we can drive it ourselves after we learn it."

"Ok!"

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jiayi returned home. His parents had already returned from get off work.

"Son, why did you come back alone? Where's Ling'er?"

"She's busy at the restaurant and probably won't be back until late."

"You kid, why did you come back? Why don't you come back with her!"

Li Jiayi shrugged and said, "No need, she will drive back after get off work."

"Oh! You left the car with her."

"No! I got her another one."

"Uh!"

When my mother heard him say this, she was stunned for a moment and didn't say much.

She had long known that her son was capable, so when she heard that he had bought another car, she didn't react much.

"Mom, I suggest you and Dad stop going to work in the factory. You don't have much money. It's better to stay at home."

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid! Your dad and I are still young. If we don't go to work, what else do you want us to do?"

"Mom, it seems like it's time for you to retire, right?"

You know, my mother is 51 years old this year and works in a factory, so she can retire early.

“I still have four years.”

"There are still four years left. Can't we retire at the age of fifty?"

My mother said speechlessly: "You are talking about front-line workers. I work in an office. How can I retire at the age of 50?"

"Uh! Isn't this different?"

"Of course it's different."

"All right!"

"Son, your mother feels that it's a bit of a loss to retire now. I've worked for most of my life, and the last few years won't hurt."

"Uh! What do you mean?" Li Jiayi asked puzzledly.

"Child, if you retire now, will your pension be the same as if you retired at a certain age?"

"Ah! Mom, our family doesn't need this little pension!"

To be honest, any little money that slips through his fingers is more than my mom's pension.

But he also knew that old people have their own ideas. Besides, his mother was not a front-line worker and did not need to work, so it would be good for her to have something to do.

Otherwise, if we let her retire now, we won’t know what to do when she comes back, and she will be bored.

"Is this a big deal? If I don't go to work, what do you want me to do at home?"

"Uh!"

Li Jiayi scratched his head and really had no idea what his mother would do after she came back.

I guess apart from the deaf old lady in the east courtyard, there is no one else who talks to her.

Because at her age, others are still busy working to support their families.

"Okay, if you want to go to work, then go to work!" What else could Li Jiayi say?

The next morning, Li Jiayi drove to Anxin Transport Company.

This place is located in Houhai. There is a two-story building in front and a two-entry courtyard in the back.

Yes, this is also Li Jiayi’s house, and the company is located in these two-story building.

As for the yard at the back, no one lives there at the moment, and there are quite a few human-powered tricycles parked in the yard.

These are tricycles that no one has rented yet, but there are not many of them, only about twenty or thirty.

Of course, this is a recent renovation. All the previously renovated ones are now rented out.

As soon as Li Jia came in, he went straight to a house.

This house is Liu Jianshe’s office. Yes, the general manager’s office is not in the two-story building in front, but in a main room in the front yard.

When he came in, he saw Liu Jianshe lying on a recliner with his eyes squinted and singing Peking Opera.

There is a small coffee table next to the recliner, on which is placed a purple clay teapot.

Li Jiayi didn't call him, but sat down next to him, picked up a teacup, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.

Maybe he heard some noise! ​​Liu Jianshe opened his eyes and saw Li Jiayi.

The boy jumped up from the recliner as if he was equipped with springs, and shouted, "Boss... Boss."

"It's okay, you continue."

"I……"

"Okay, come and have tea with me."

"Hey!" Liu Jianshe hurried over, picked up the teapot and refilled his tea.

"Boss, why are you here?"

"Nothing, just came to see why there are so many tricycles parked in this yard?"

"That's right, boss. I've added another 500 tricycles, and no one has rented them yet."

"Another five hundred?"

"Yes! You don't know, during this period of time, people come here every day to rent tricycles. I have no choice but to increase the number."

"In other words, these are the only 500 vehicles that have not been rented out?"

"Yes, Boss. I think these can all be rented out today."

When a tricycle is rented out, only a management fee is charged every month. As for any problems with the tricycle, such as breaking down, it has nothing to do with the company.

However, they are all new cars, so basically there won't be any problems. Besides, they are just transporting passengers, so there won't be any major problems in the next three to five years at least.

Like tire wear, this is normal.

"Yeah! By the way, do you have anything to do today?" Li Jiayi asked.

"Boss, you know I stay here every day and have nothing to do all day long."

Yes, Anxin Transport Company has employees, and quite a few of them. Their daily business is to rent cars and then collect management fees.

Liu Jianshe doesn't need to do any of these, so he is so leisurely.

"Since you're alright, go get two vests and two tricycles, and we'll go out for a walk."

At Anxin Transport Company, every person who comes to rent a tricycle will be given two red vests with the words "Anxin Transport" printed on them.

"Ah! Boss, what are you doing..."

"I'm so bored."
