Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

After buying three houses in a courtyard with three families, Cao Zhiqiang did not go home with the three uncles, but continued riding his bicycle to the bank alone.

As usual, I went to make an appointment to withdraw 50,000 yuan.

There was no way. Although Cao Zhiqiang still had some money on hand, he felt that he would have to spend money in many places in the future, and many of them would require a lot of money. He would not have time to withdraw money then.

Therefore, it is better to withdraw the money in advance to save time when you need the money.

In this era, when you win big money, you will see the difference between an individual and a company.

If it is business-to-business, such as public institutions or state-owned enterprises, there is no need to pay cash directly in this way. It is usually done by direct transfer or check or money order. The procedure is very simple and no appointment is required at all.

Even if you want to withdraw cash, as long as the public funds of state-owned enterprises and institutions have been deposited in your bank, and the amount is OK, then no matter how much money your unit wants to withdraw, it can basically be withdrawn on the same day.

Even if this bank branch does not have that much money for the time being, as long as state-owned enterprises and government institutions need money, the bank will immediately send people to transfer the money and ensure that you get enough money on time without any delay.

But if you are an individual, it is okay for you to deposit money in the bank at this time. There is no limit. You can have as much money as you want, but if you want to withdraw money from the bank, sorry, there are many restrictions.

Just like now, Cao Zhiqiang obviously has money in his personal bank account, but if he wants to withdraw this money himself, there is a limit. For any money that exceeds the limit, he must first make an appointment to fill out a form and explain the purpose, and then he can withdraw it the next day. And

If the next day is a holiday, it must be postponed.

With this money withdrawal process and speed, if an individual needs a lot of money for urgent matters, it will be a huge delay.

Cao Zhiqiang will use money in many places in the future, and he is not used to making an appointment to withdraw money when something is about to happen, so he simply withdraws it when he can, leaving only a small change in his bankbook.

If it had been anyone else, it would have been dangerous.

After all, the domestic security at this time was really bad. Roadblocks, robbery, and burglaries were commonplace.

But Cao Zhiqiang is different.

He has a portable space, and as long as he puts his money in the space, the safety factor is higher than that of a bank.

Basically, Cao Zhiqiang’s important things now are stored in personal space.

Unless there is a need or just to show off, I won't leave it at home.

The process of making an appointment to withdraw money went smoothly, and the person in charge of reception was an acquaintance, a young girl named Tang Yanling.

Now, he and the female receptionist named Tang Yanling have met many times, and they are considered familiar to each other.

So, while flirting and chatting with the receptionist named Tang Yanling, he made an appointment to withdraw money.

The whole process was very easy, unlike going to the bank to withdraw money in later generations, which was separated by thick bulletproof glass windows.

Not only that, Tang Yanling also took the initiative to invite Cao Zhiqiang to watch a movie together, a movie called "Strange Friends". It was said to be very good-looking and inspirational.

It's a pity that Cao Zhiqiang is really unavailable recently, so he refused without hesitation.

There's nothing I can do about it. He's handsome and rich, so it's too easy to mess with little girls.

Although Tang Yanling is also very good-looking, unfortunately, Cao Zhiqiang, a pretty girl, has too high standards.

Not to mention Yu Yuanyuan, who looks exactly like Yang Xue, even Huaihua and Jin Xiuying, in terms of looks, can beat this Tang Yanling in seconds.

Although it is good to change the taste of Xiaojiabiyu occasionally, just eat wild vegetables, but Cao Zhiqiang really has no time recently, he is busy.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang can only hang on to others first and see the opportunity later.

He thought that when he was free in the future, it would not be too late to come to Tang Yanling to have a meal or watch a movie or something.

Just think of it as thanking her for her attentive service. It has absolutely nothing to do with being a scumbag.

In this way, after making an appointment to withdraw money at the bank, Cao Zhiqiang rode his bicycle again and went directly to Jinyu Hutong.

He went to find Yang Ping'an.

At this time, it is time to re-enable this old driver.

Otherwise, it would be too taxing on your legs to ride a bicycle back and forth all day long.

How about going from frugality to luxury but not from luxury to frugality?

Before this, Cao Zhiqiang would have never been able to ride a bicycle back and forth, and he wouldn't feel tired.

But since I started riding a special tricycle, oh, it feels better than riding a bicycle.

Of course, if you drive your own car, that's no problem, but I don't have a car yet.

Even if you have money, you can't buy one, because in 1983, individuals were not allowed to drive private cars.

Well, although strictly speaking, the country allowed private ownership of private cars in 1979, it only allowed private purchases.

Specifically speaking, it is allowed for you to buy a car in your own name, but whether you can buy it or not is another matter.

Nowadays, even state-owned enterprises cannot get car purchase quotas, let alone your private car purchase.

As an ordinary individual, even if you can save enough money to buy a car, you can't get the car purchase quota.

Otherwise, there are many self-employed people who have made a fortune at this time, some worth tens of thousands, but don’t they also have private cars?

Just because it’s private, it’s basically impossible to get a car purchase quota at this time!

Well, even if you have great powers and can obtain car purchase quotas privately and buy a car, there is still a big problem. The relevant departments will not license your private car.

Your car cannot have a license plate, and you may be able to drive it randomly in remote rural areas or small places, and no one will care about you, so you will be fine. However, if you do not have a license plate in the capital city, the traffic police will deduct it for sure.

Therefore, the cars running in the city at this time are basically company cars, even taxis, and there are no private cars.

Private motorcycles do exist, but they are also very scarce. Not only do you have to have money, you also have to find the connections to buy one.

The Jing A motorcycle license plate that became popular in later generations mainly refers to the motorcycle license plates of this period.

During this period, if you were really smart enough to buy a motorcycle, you could get a license plate on it, but after 1985, it would be difficult.

By the way, you can buy a motorcycle and get a Beijing A license plate.

Buying a batch of motorcycles and hoarding a batch of Beijing A motorcycles and saving them for later will be very profitable.

Oops, when you think about it, there is really gold everywhere in the capital at this time. It depends on whether you have the ability to pick it up.

But then again, this business is not that easy.

Not to mention that motorcycles are difficult to buy and require motorcycle tickets. Even if you have the connections, most people don’t have enough money to buy a motorcycle.

At this time, an imported motorcycle costs 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and a domestically produced motorcycle costs 4,000 to 5,000 yuan. Most people cannot afford it.

Therefore, buying a motorcycle and stocking up on license plates at this time is just like buying a courtyard house, except that it looks beautiful, but the actual operation is very difficult, and the price/performance ratio is not particularly outstanding.

If you really care about cost-effectiveness, it is better to collect antique calligraphy and paintings.

There was no conversation all the way, and we found Yang An's house with familiarity.

It’s still the same dilapidated courtyard, still a cramped space built randomly and privately everywhere.

This type of privately constructed courtyard houses will most likely be demolished in the future.

If not talking about this person, why don't you take a long-term view? You have made such a mess, and the structure of many courtyards has been destroyed. If you don't demolish it, who will you demolish?

"Strong...boss?"

Obviously, Yang Ping'an, who was maintaining his tricycle, was very surprised when he saw Cao Zhiqiang's sudden appearance. No, it was a surprise.

Cao Zhiqiang sees this very clearly. People's first reactions cannot be deceived.

After understanding this, Cao Zhiqiang was very pleased: "Yes, Lao Yang, I'm here to find you."

Yang An'an chuckled, immediately put down the wrench in his hand, rubbed his hands, and said sheepishly: "Oh boss, I should have invited you to sit in the room, but, I'm too young and too messy.

…”

"It's okay." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, passed by Yang An'an, and went directly to Yang An'an's home behind him.

It was really small inside, only about 20 square meters in appearance. There was a table at the end of the room, and two rows of bunk beds on both sides. Under the bed were stuffed full of cardboard boxes.

If this was not a home, I would have thought we were in a college student dormitory in the 1980s and 1990s.

At this time, there was an old lady inside, wearing reading glasses and sitting on the edge of the bed, picking up the soles of her shoes.

Obviously, this old lady should be Yang An'an's mother.

According to Yang An'an's introduction before, Yang An'an's father is gone and he only has one mother. However, her mother is unemployed and has diabetes, so Yang An'an has always been taking care of her.

Fortunately, as for Yang An'an's mother, diabetes is only mild and not serious, so she can control it through diet control, but she is still not able to lose weight.

All in all, the current family is indeed supported by Yang An'an alone. It is no wonder that Yang An'an is taciturn.

With such a big family to support, anyone else would be overwhelmed and no longer talkative.

In fact, Yang An'an had a good idea. If it were Cao Zhiqiang's peers in his previous life, many of them would have run away long ago when faced with this situation. They would not care about the life and death of their families and would only care about themselves.

From this perspective, although there are many selfish people in this era, overall, they are better, or more humane, than the people Cao Zhiqiang was familiar with in his previous life.

Of course, this is also related to the general environment. After all, in the early 1980s, we had not completely fallen into the era of laughing at the poor but not at prostitution, and taking care of ourselves.

But it’s not that great, at least it can’t be compared to the 1950s when people were helping people.

How about there is a saying at this time: In the 1950s, people helped others, in the 1970s, people coaxed others, and in the 1980s, everyone looked out for themselves.

Today is the early 1980s. We have just come from the era of people coaxing others, and are slipping into the era of everyone taking care of themselves, but they have not completely slipped down yet. Therefore, although everyone is very poor at this time, there are still many people like

A filial son like Yang An'an.

Even a white-eyed wolf like Bangge has to maintain a superficial sense of filial piety at this time.

However, there is no filial son in bed for a long time.

This is also a short time. If this situation lasts longer, or in other words, when Yang An'an gets married, will he still be willing to support his mother, plus his two brothers and two sisters?

That’s easy to say.

That’s why I say, human nature, you must not test it, and you must not kidnap it morally, otherwise you will really be nothing.

To a certain extent, in the 1980s, it was good for everyone to look out for themselves, at least better than the 1990s when people were trying to trick others.

In the 1990s, that was the real ideological decline, and the real entry into the era of greed and greed that laughed at poverty but not at prostitution.

Cao Zhiqiang was still sighing and sighing, but the old lady was suddenly startled, raised her head and stood up, looked at Cao Zhiqiang doubtfully and said, "Who are you?"

"Mom!" Yang Anping walked in quickly, "This is, this is..."

As soon as he heard the meaning of these words, Cao Zhiqiang knew that Yang An'an had not told his mother what he had done with him.

Also, although in Cao Zhiqiang's case, Yang An'an was his driver and assistant, in this era, Yang An'an was just an errand boy, not a serious profession at all.

Yes, this job is worse than running a three-wheeler.

At least running three rounds is considered an individual, but if you work as a follower with one person, you are not a formal employee of a formal unit, and you are not even an individual. Isn't this just a second-rate person?

Therefore, it is completely normal for Yang Ping An not to explain clearly to his mother.

"Auntie!" Cao Zhiqiang quickly smiled and said, "I am a friend of Brother Yang. He has helped me a lot before. I think he is a real person. We became friends as soon as we went back and forth."

"Oh, that's right." Yang An'an's mother nodded, "Then where are you coming today?"

"Oh, that's right." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "I took a job as a tour guide for a pair of foreigners. They were short of a three-wheeler, so didn't I think of Brother Yang? Foreigners are very generous and they always charter the car.

, the money is given on a daily basis, which is a lot of money.”

Upon hearing this, Yang An'an's mother's eyes lit up: "Oh, we have such a good relationship, Quan Zi, if you don't hurry up, we can't lose such a big guy!"

"Oh!" Yang An'an nodded with a smile, and then looked at Cao Zhiqiang.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll go out and wait for Brother Yang first. Auntie, this is really a big job. Brother Yang is the only one with a lot of money. I don't want to look for ordinary people."

"Okay." Yang An'an's mother smiled from ear to ear, "Quanzi, please go on time. You have nothing more to do with foreigners than anything else. You have to pay attention to your image and don't let foreigners look down on you."

"Yes!" Yang An'an smiled and nodded.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled again, then left the room and waited outside.

At the same time, Cao Zhiqiang also sighed, feeling that he made a mistake this time and should not be playing around with people, rushing in without saying hello.

Not all families live in homes as spacious as his courtyard house.

In fact, during this period, it was normal for five or six people like Yang An'an to live in a house of 20 to 30 square meters.

This is especially true in a dirty and messy place like Jinyu Alley, where the population density is extremely high.

No wonder Jinyu Alley was demolished so early.

When he thought of this, Cao Zhiqiang was suddenly stunned, then closed his eyes and slapped his forehead fiercely.

Well, he suddenly remembered that he had bought a house on the west side of Jinyu Alley before and spent 30,000 yuan.

Not only that, he also found a design institute and spent 5,000 yuan, asking them to decorate it.

This, if this laborious decoration is completed and we go back and demolish it again, then, wouldn't it be in vain?

It's easy to talk about the house, and I'll give you some compensation, but for decoration, it seems that no compensation will be given during this period.

Even if they provide compensation for decoration, it doesn’t seem to be much!

I'm careless, I'm really careless!

At first I just thought that the house was in a good location, close to Jinyu Hutong and Wangfujing Street, and also in the location of Lotte and Intime Department Stores.

But at that time, he only thought about the benefits, but forgot that since it later became Intime Department Store, wouldn't it mean that it had been demolished long ago?

"What a pig brain!"

Cao Zhiqiang slapped his forehead again.

"I thought I had taken advantage of it before, but in the end I was a fool. Now that house is in my hands, it will be difficult to sell it again."

After sighing, Cao Zhiqiang let out a breath, feeling that it would be useless to continue to regret.

Fortunately, the people from the design institute were just checking on the situation and had not actually started decorating yet, so there was still room to stop losses in time.

Now it seems that the courtyard house in Jinyu Hutong should be done as little as possible, since it will have to be demolished sooner or later.

Of course, it’s not without hassle at all. Necessary facade decoration is still required.

But don't expect any luxurious decoration or turning that house into a high-end, high-end club.

Just treat it as an ordinary restaurant, or an ordinary chef training school.

That's right, no matter how it is there, the location is there and the flow of people is there.

If you open an ordinary restaurant, don't take the high-price route, and rely on affordability and volume, you can make money back in just a few years.

As for the high-end clubs, no, high-end restaurants in his mind, they are not really there to make money, they are mainly for making connections, and they are a character similar to the green version of Little Red Mansion.

In a high-end hotel like that, you can not only eat, but also watch unique song and dance performances.

For example, Han-style girl group performances, modern-style girl group performances, etc. Only in this way can we attract a large number of leaders and dignitaries to come and support us.

The more big shots come more frequently, the more big shots you get to know, and the more connections you have.

The more connections you have, the more information you have. If you want to make money these days, isn't it just like picking it up? No, it's like receiving money?

What? No girl group?

Don’t you know how to make it yourself?

Korean girl groups didn’t exist at the beginning, or were they built slowly?

As for being conservative or something like that, that's easy to say. You can rely on art.

The common people these days are conservative, but for the rich and powerful, once you tell them that this is art, it will be a shame.

Besides, you don’t have to show your flesh.

The Hanfu girl group is also pretty cool.

Moreover, if you create your own girl group, you can use those trainees to perform for free in the future, just treat it as practice, and you can achieve multiple things with one stone.

Oops, am I being a little too oppressive?

Don't be afraid, as long as you pay more, you won't be squeezed.

At that time, starting a girl group will be said to be reviving national culture or revitalizing Han culture.

Letting members of the girl group perform for free in my club means giving them more opportunities to perform.

Well, if the girl group can't accept it, then it can be called a singing and dancing group, or an art group.

Anyway, there are a lot of song and dance troupes and art troupes that don’t have enough money to make money. Looking back, in the name of revitalizing culture and art, I will buy, no, contract one or two art troupes, and then create a girl group according to my own wishes. It should be possible, right?

?

But the prerequisite is that I must have a reliable background and a reliable unit in hand.

For example, I must have a serious publishing house, or a magazine will do.

You have to make people motivated, and you have to have face, and you have to think that you are a serious person in a serious company, otherwise why should people listen to you?

Oops, my divergent thinking.

You originally wanted to buy a house and a car, but why did you want to go to a club and join a girl group?

Well, this idea is good, and it’s worth trying in the future. It’s worth a try!
