Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Yang Dongxu, who was looking for things for himself, started to get busy again after getting rid of the big burden of rebuilding the courtyard. On the weekends, he went to learn sketching. The teacher was an old man from Peking University. He was not very famous, but he was good at landscape painting.

Hearing that Yang Dongxu only studied sketching and not traditional Chinese painting, if it weren't for Zhou Yiren's sake, he would have kicked him out.

When he got home from school, Yang Dongxu stopped wandering around and practiced singing in the small courtyard with an acoustic guitar that he bought from Sun Shengli several times. As for doing homework, what the hell? Double 100 in the final exam?

That's it, don't worry about these details.

It was said that he was practicing singing, but it was actually just a matter of course. Yang Dongxu, who had no idea of ​​becoming a singer, only sang with an acoustic guitar. Mainly because he couldn't remember some of the lyrics. So he could only use the guitar to find the tune and hum a few lines. After the melody came out, the lyrics were also

Just came out.

It's still a big notebook, with a Hero brand pen beside it. I'll write down all the songs I can remember on the first gear, or the lyrics that follow the melody. But this time I'm not just memorizing the lyrics. Since the melody

After I came out, I wrote the song score together.

"Xu Zi, Xu Zi, the Hong Kong people you are looking for are here for dinner." Wu Aibing ran over panting and said.

Naturally, the purpose of writing songs is to sell them, so Yang Dongxu told Wu Aibing to notify him if there were Hong Kong people coming to the restaurant for dinner.

Now that the reputation of Yang Family Banquet has spread, the private rooms upstairs are full every day, and you need to make a reservation at least a week in advance. The reason why it is so popular and the taste is naturally one of the main factors, and another important reason is the good service quality.

After Yang Dongxu’s strict requirements and the systematic training of Two Knives, when you come to Yang’s Banquet to enjoy food, you can also enjoy meticulous service and choose your own taste. For example, don’t add onions and add more salt to your taste.

etc.

Therefore, people who come to eat here, although they are not uncles, can enjoy the same service as uncles. Instead of going to some other large state-owned restaurants to be grandsons, just say a few words about the taste of the food, and the waiters are more aggressive than you.

The food is good and the service is good. Naturally, not only people from Yanjing come to eat here, but also businessmen from other places who seem to have sensed business opportunities, Hong Kong people, Russians, and even Americans. Even the little RB devil Yang's family banquet has been hosted.

However, except for those from the embassy, ​​there are a little less businessmen from Hong Kong. After all, the transportation is really underdeveloped now. It takes at least half a month for them to go back and forth, and there are not many people who come all the way. So sometimes

They may be there for a week in a row, and sometimes no one is seen for ten days and a half.

Yang Dongxu hurried to the Yang family banquet and almost gave himself a blow on the head. He felt that he was looking far away from the near. Because it was Dongzi who took the Hong Kong businessmen to dinner.

It can be said that Dongzi has started to tremble since the Xiushui Clothing Company came to town. In the past, he was only famous on the street, but now he has also gained some impression in the eyes of some officials.

There is no way that as the first person from Yanjing to go to Shenzhen to get goods and the first private enterprise to cooperate with Hong Kong businessmen, it would be difficult for him not to become famous.

Yes, Xiushui Clothing Company has cooperated with Hong Kong businessmen. When Dongzi went to Shenzhen a few times to get goods, and Yang Dongxu and he were making money, suddenly a source of goods cheaper than them appeared on the street.

Dongzi couldn't bear it and immediately summoned his men to kill him. But when he went to the place and saw that it was a Hong Kong businessman, he was a bit dumbfounded. At this time, foreign relations were very tense, and foreign businessmen would definitely have higher protection standards than giant pandas when qualified.

.

Since there was no way to fight, everyone could only sit down and talk. This discussion turned into a cooperation. Xiushui Clothing provided the transportation means. Of course, the Hong Kong merchants had to pay for the toll themselves. After the goods arrived in Yanjing, they could only hand them over to Dongzi for sale.

After all, the place of origin is too far away to get involved, so with transportation as a bargaining chip, Yang Dongxu directly locked up the downstream market. After all, in the three-thirds of an acre of land in Sijiu City, he, or Dongzi, still has some influence.

, so the two parties became partners.

"Haha, Mr. Yang is here, we have someone to treat us to dinner today." Dongzi, who was dressed like a national leader in a Chinese tunic suit, acted more smoothly.

For example, for the title Yang Dongxu, a month ago he would just call Yang Dongxu ‘Xu Zi’, but now he used to call Yang Dongxu ‘Xu Zi’ when no one was around, and when outsiders are around, he calls him Young Master.

Although it is just a simple title, just by changing this detail, it can be seen that Zhongzi has really grown up in the past two months, and he does not act like a young boy in his twenties at all.

"Young Master Yang is here." Hao Yifan, who had been sitting down to eat, stood up. He was obviously more experienced in dealing with people than the grown-up Dongzi. Since everyone called him "Young Master Yang", he naturally couldn't sit down anymore.

"Boss Hao, you must have made a lot of money this time, right?" Yang Dongxu sat down with a smile.

"Let's spend (make) money together, let's spend money together." Hao Yifan smiled very low-key.

Compared with Dongzi, who wears the Chinese tunic suit of a successful man and an intellectual, Hao Yifan wears a more low-key style, with a plaid shirt, big pants, and a pair of sandals. He is only 165 years old, and he is chubby, so his smile makes people feel

A bit honest and kind.

However, Yang Dongxu has never underestimated this fat man. As one of the first Hong Kong businessmen to enter the mainland to pan for gold, he did not just test the waters in Shenzhen like other Hong Kong businessmen, but went directly north to Yanjing with his goods.

It's not something ordinary people have the courage to do.

After eating and drinking, the food was removed and dessert was served. Yang Dongxu took a piece of frozen watermelon and stuffed it into his mouth. The cold feeling was very refreshing.

"I wonder what happened to what I told Boss Hao last time?" Yang Dongxu asked while leaning on his chair and eating watermelon.

"I brought some tape recorders. I brought 100 tape recorders. There are more than 200 tapes, and more than a dozen of them are the latest ones." Hao Yifan pointed behind him.

Obviously, if he comes here to eat, even if Yang Dongxu doesn't come to him, he will come to Yang Dongxu. Because he has brought everything, how to sell it is a problem.

"Boss Hao is so awesome." When Hao Yifan suddenly brought so many recorders to test the waters, Yang Dongxu gave him a thumbs up.

Jumped down from the chair, ran over to open the packaging box, and a big man appeared in front of Yang Dongxu. Holding the handle above, he skillfully plugged in the socket and opened it. He took out a tape and saw that it was Teresa Teng's "A Thousand Words".

"Slang", turned on the tape recorder and put it in, and the familiar tone began to echo in the private room.

After listening to all the songs with his eyes closed, Yang Dongxu woke up from the aftertaste and pointed at the recorder: "What's the price?"

"The tape recorder is a bit expensive, it costs 100 yuan, and the tape is 2 yuan a piece, which is the real price." Hao Yifan said with his hands crossed on his thighs.

"Two yuan a tape is okay, but that big guy can't calculate money like that. I won't ask you how much your purchase price is, how about 80 yuan a tape? I'm going to sell 110 yuan a tape, otherwise I can't do this business, Yanjing

It's not like you don't know how much people earn." Yang Dongxu said after pondering.

"Okay, this is not the first time we have cooperated. Let's go with this price. Although I am at a bit of a loss, we just want to deepen our relationship with each other." Hao Yifan said with a pained look on his face.

Yang Dongxu directly ignored his performance. As the saying goes, some people do the easy beheading business, but no one does the loss-making business. Although Yang Dongxu didn't know the price of these things in Hong Kong, he knew that Hao Yifan must have a lot of them.

Profit margins.

He doesn't care about this. After all, if we have money, everyone can make money together. The basis of mutual cooperation is that everyone can make money, otherwise this kind of cooperation will not last long.

"Can this thing really be sold?" Dongzi, who had been sitting silently next to him, frowned.

I was a little unhappy that Yang Dongxu got this tape recorder thing. Not to mention that it took up too much space and couldn't be squeezed. When it was shipped back, it was like waiting for an uncle to serve a lot of clothes.

More importantly, he knew the wages of the workers in Yanjing very well. If he bought a few more clothes, these people would start to grit their teeth. Would anyone spend more than 100 yuan to buy this thing that can only listen to music? Dongzi felt that the radio was too

It’s easier to sell than this thing.

"As agreed before, I sold this thing. Xiu Shui Clothing will give you an extra 10% of the income, as if I accounted for the cost of transporting this thing by train." Yang Dongxu said.

Is this thing not easy to sell? Are you kidding? This thing was absolutely indispensable in the fashion of the 1980s. Even though this thing is a bit big at over half a meter long, within a few years there will be many young people carrying it on the streets and showing off everywhere.

"I didn't mean that..." Dongzi said quickly.

"That's it, brothers are brothers, business is business, one code is one code. But you can't discuss it with your uncle anymore. What's the point of staring at me and dizzying the space on the tape recorder and tape? Even if it's just this

How much is it worth if all the space is used to store clothes? A few more train leathers would be a big deal." Yang Dongxu interrupted Dongzi.

"You think I don't want to? It's not like you don't know that the transportation capacity is extremely tight now?" Dongzi sighed, feeling a little unwilling, but he had been grinding against his uncle for more than half a month, and he didn't even want half of the train skin.

Come on, there's nothing he can do.

Not to mention trains, car transportation is also tight. One is that there are few cars, and the other is that there are no highways in China now. Even if you have a car, you can't drive back.

"Why don't we use a boat?" Yang Dongxu said after a long pause.

"This is a good idea. There is a port over there in Yantai, and Shenzhen and Hong Kong are all close to the sea. As long as the train can't transport the things by ship to Yantai, we can also use trucks to come back." Dongzi's eyes suddenly lit up.

But thinking that if we use a boat to pull it, we must have a ferry. He was a little embarrassed for a while: "I don't have any connections in the boat. If we find someone, others may know what we do..."

Although they haven't finished speaking, Yang Dongxu and Hao Yifan already understand that since Dongzi has used railway transportation to get a piece of the pie, those who can get the ship will definitely get involved.

"Can you find a ship over there?" Yang Dongxu looked at Hao Yifan.

"There is no problem with the ship. There is a shipping company in Hong Kong, but the customs procedures are..."

"My grandpa knows some people from the external affairs office. I'll see if I can get some help." Yang Dongxu thought for a while and took over the matter.
