Chapter 690: Scholarly spirit! Good business!
Minister Cao, is the country very poor? I really don’t know this? I haven’t been exposed to this aspect before,” Yu Haiwen asked.
"Reform actually started in 64, with a small-scale pilot program. If there are problems, they can be corrected without causing major changes.
The national reform was not officially launched until this year. In fact, there are no Northwest and Southwest because they need too much money.
To this day, there is still not enough money for reform, so a half-hearted approach is acceptable, and only then will the reform be carried out nationwide.
After the May 1st wage increase, many commodities have seen price increases, and the reform has officially begun!
"There are several older teachers in our school who think that salary increases are good, but price increases are bad, but few think so."
“They are short-sighted! They should be allowed to go back to the early 60s!”
"This time, it seems that only meat has increased in price by 30%, and other things have not increased much. White flour has only increased by five cents, and oil has increased by ten cents! Coarse grains have increased by three cents!"
"There are more industrial products, and the price increase of daily necessities for the people is not much, lower than the level of wage increase, which is considered good!"
"This is great. People's lives won't get worse!"
"This is a planned wage increase. If it's an unplanned increase, that would be a big deal!"
"Brother Dongfang, has the price of meat at my dad's place increased? We just opened, and my dad is embarrassed to raise the price, so his net income has decreased by 30%." He Yushui asked.
"Why isn't it going up? People here love to eat mutton, but it's hard to buy. You can buy a few kilograms, but your father uses more than 1000 kilograms a day.
It's not me who provides it. Your father can buy 15 tons of mutton a month there! This will be available outside at least five years later.
If the national price increases, you will also increase it. From the current 2.5 yuan per catty to 3.5 yuan per catty, what are you afraid of? Workers' wages are getting higher and higher, and they will increase their wages again during the National Day holiday.
"The country is awesome. Salaries are raised three times a year, and another 15 yuan has been paid to me!"
"This is a planned wage increase, and it will not change, even next year. The plan is to continue to increase wages until 80, and also increase prices, mainly for industrial goods.
The prices of daily necessities also doubled, for example, meat was at least two yuan per pound, and flour was fifty cents.
Then it will slow down and then rise slowly. The country will open up to the world and connect with the world! It is not okay to close the country to the outside world as it did a hundred years ago! "
"It's good enough as long as the salary increases quickly. Don't worry about anything else!" said He Yushui.
"Haha, that's because you're rich. Look how much the house price has increased! The house price here has gone from 10 yuan per square meter to 60 yuan per square meter.
The price of the shop I bought for you has increased from around 60 yuan to 800 yuan per square meter, which is a multiple increase.
There are too many people in our country, and there are also many people in Beijing. The batch of houses in the city was sold in October this year.
At least it will cost hundreds of dollars. This is a problem of rising prices! Only houses are okay! The country can handle it! "
"How much can my shop be worth by the beginning of next year?" Cao Jiajia asked.
“No less than 100 million! I don’t know the exact amount!”
"I'll go talk to my dad and ask him to raise the price. He has to, it's not our business. Brother Dongfang, my dad will have enough mutton, right?" He Yushui was concerned about the source of the meat.
"I haven't asked yet. Your father's freezer is still too small. A bigger one won't work either. Keep it with me for two years. It will be better in the future!"
"Uncle He produces 15 tons of mutton every month. Where do you put it?" Song Xianxian asked.
"Uncle He's family has two freezers that can hold seven tons each. We have two tons each. Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu each put one ton in! Uncle He's barbecue restaurant also has a five-ton freezer.
There are 16 tons in total. I will replace them when I go out. The circuit should be replaced with a new one. There is no shortage of electricity in the city now. I will replace it with a new one when I am free.
"Brother Dongfang, we can still assemble TVs for a few more years!" He Yushui asked.
"In three to five years, it is expected that by the end of 75, the national color TV production volume will exceed the export volume. We will sell them domestically and make as much money as possible!"
"I can earn another three years!" He Yushui nodded.
"You should get married soon, and Jia Jia should get married soon too, you are so old now!" Mom started to urge them to get married.
"I understand, Aunt Cao!" He Yushui did not object to the marriage.
"Old thinking, feudal!" Cao Jiajia muttered.
"Cao Jiajia, be careful or I'll beat you up!" Mom was a little angry.
"Aunt Jia Jia, listen to grandma, get married soon, and be obedient!" Duoduo spoke in a serious tone.
"Hahaha, Duoduo, you are so obedient!" Song Xianxian laughed.
"Children, be obedient. Duoduo will be waiting for you when he is full!" Duoduo's main point is to be obedient.
"Got it, go wait for us!"
......
"Yushui, Haiwen, eat slowly and don't think too much!"
“Thank you Minister Cao, I know!”
"It's good to be a teacher. We have another holiday and can rest for 45 days! We can earn money tomorrow!"
"I just make money every day, but I can't spend it. What's the point of making so much money?"
"Mom, please don't bother with this little money-grubber. Let her go and make money!"
"Dongfang, do you have any more videotapes? I'm almost done watching them!"
"I'll go to Hong Kong in the next few days and bring back any good ones!"
"Take more. After we finish watching Liang Ladi, they will watch it too!"
"Know!
.......
"Dongfang, how about Yu Shui as a partner?" Cao's mother asked after He Yu Shui and He left.
"It looks OK, and the family is OK, as long as Yu Shui agrees! There are not so many perfect people!"
"Dongfang asked him what he thought about the reform. Was it to warn him?"
"It's meant to be a warning. Many of these educated people don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is. They say whatever they want. I don't want to have to deal with them in the future.
Let him change the people around him, be more practical, talk less, and do more practical things! "
“They don’t even know whether the country is poor or not. Whatever they do is unrealistic!”
"Are you talking about the arrogance of scholars? I'm talking about them. Sometimes they act without thinking. These people will cause a lot of trouble in the future. Don't be polite to them!"
"Dongfang, the shops in Dashilan are so expensive. How much is the price per square meter for the shops where my mom lives?"
"I don't know, it should be above 500 yuan per square meter. Housing prices rose very fast before May Day. The reform was not kept secret, and businessmen have a keen nose!"
"The average housing price in my mother's place is 300 yuan per square meter, which has increased by 70% in one month over one year! Good business!" said Song Xianxian.
"Of course it's a good business. The land leasing industry has always been good!"
"This year, Tingting and Yangyang will go to military schools or local schools!"
"Go to the military school, it's not far away. Being with the military children will broaden your horizons. The people in this compound still have a narrow vision!"
"How to enroll students? When can I go to school to register?"
"It should be before school starts. I'll ask at work tomorrow. There's still time!"
"Ask me, I don't have time to take them to school to register!"
"No need to hide anything! Anyone can go!"
"We'll talk about it later!"
.......
"Yu Shui, does Minister Cao have a good relationship with your family? He can be your brother!" Yu Haiwen asked He Yu Shui.
"It's not with my family, it's with me. I have lived in Brother Dongfang's house for eight years, starting from 53. Brother Dongfang has always treated me as his sister! Got it!" He Yushui explained.
So now I know, has Minister Cao's food always been so good?" Yu Haiwen asked.
“I was scared. Dongfang has been working for the country since 54.
Brother Dongfang did a lot for the country, I don’t know much about it. I only know that he transported grain to the central, western and southwestern regions for the country during those years.
He came back once a month, and later bought equipment for the country from abroad. After 62, all the equipment needed for the factories built by the country was brought back by Brother Dongfang from abroad.
As for the food, the Cao family occasionally had ten dishes and one soup around 56. How many people were there in the family?
Brother Dongfang has money and supplies, and the government only pays him a normal salary every month.
Brother Dongfang started delivering food to the families of military martyrs in this street when he was 15 years old. There were more than families, and later on, there were people from this compound!
"Helping others at the age of 15, that's amazing!"
“It’s amazing!”
