The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Yang Dongxu, who was looking for things for himself, started to get busy again after getting rid of the heavy burden of rebuilding the courtyard house. I go to learn sketching on weekends. The teacher is an old man from Peking University. He is not very famous, but landscape painting is a must. Hearing that Yang Dongxu only studied sketching and not traditional Chinese painting, if it wasn't for Zhou Yiren's face, he would definitely be kicked out.

Yang Dongxu stopped wandering around after school, and practiced singing in the small courtyard with an acoustic guitar he bought after looking for Sun Shengli several times. As for homework or something, what is it? Double 100 in the final exam is all it takes, so don't worry about these details.

It was said to be practicing songs, but it was just incidental. Yang Dongxu, who had no idea of ​​becoming a singer, just sang with an acoustic guitar, mainly because he couldn't remember some lyrics. So I can only use the guitar to find a tune and hum a few words, so that when the melody comes out, the lyrics will also come out.

It is still a big notebook, with a hero brand pen next to it, and write down all the songs that can be remembered on the first file, or the lyrics that follow the melody, but this time it’s not just the lyrics, since the melody When I came out, I wrote the score together by the way.

"Xuzi, Xuzi, the Hong Kong people you are looking for are here for dinner." Wu Aibing, who ran over panting, said.

Naturally, the purpose of writing songs is to sell them, so Yang Dongxu greeted Wu Aibing, and informed him if any Hong Kong people came to eat in the restaurant.

Now the reputation of the Yang Family Banquet has spread, the boxes upstairs are full every day, and reservations need to be made at least a week in advance. The reason why it is so popular and good taste is naturally one of the main factors. Another important reason is the good service quality.

After Yang Dongxu's strict requirements, plus the systematic training of two knives, when you come to Yang's banquet for dinner, you can not only enjoy delicious food, but also enjoy meticulous service, and you can also choose your own taste. etc.

So people who come to eat here, although they are not uncles, can enjoy the same service as uncles. Instead of going to some other big state-owned restaurants to be a grandson, say a few words about the taste of the dishes, and the waiters are more fierce than you.

The taste is good and the service is good. Naturally, it’s not just Yanjing people who come to eat, but merchants from other places who seem to smell business opportunities, Hong Kong people, Russians, and even Americans. Even the little RB ghost Yang’s family banquet has been entertained.

But apart from those from the embassy, ​​Hong Kong businessmen came a little less. After all, the traffic is really underdeveloped now, they go back and forth for at least half a month, and there are not many people who come all the way. Therefore, sometimes they may be seen for a week, and sometimes they are not seen for ten days and a half months.

Hurriedly running to the Yang family banquet, Yang Dongxu almost gave himself a hammer on the head, feeling that he was looking far away. Because it is Dongzi who brings Hong Kong merchants to dinner.

Ever since Xiushui clothing company entered the city, Dongzi can be said to be shaking. He used to be famous on the street, but now he has a little impression of the eyes of some officials.

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

That's right, Xiushui Clothing Company has cooperated with Hong Kong businessmen. When Dongzi made several trips to Shenzhen to get the goods, and Yang Dongxu and Yang Dongxu were making a lot of money, suddenly a source of goods cheaper than them appeared on the street.

This is absolutely unbearable. Dongzi immediately summoned his men to kill him, but when he went to the place, he turned out to be a Hong Kong businessman, and he was a little dumbfounded. At this time, foreign relations are very tense, and foreign businessmen must have higher protection standards than giant pandas when they are qualified.

Since we can't fight, we can only sit down and talk. This discussion turned into a cooperation. Xiushui Clothing provided the means of transportation. Of course, the Hong Kong merchants had to pay for the travel expenses themselves. After the goods arrived in Yanjing, they could only be handed over to Dongzi for sale.

After all, the place of origin is too far away to get in, so with transportation as a bargaining chip, Yang Dongxu directly locked down the downstream market. After all, he, or Dongzi, still has some influence on the three-acre land in Sijiu City. Therefore, the two parties became partners in this way.

"Hehe, Young Master Yang is here. There are people who will treat you to dinner today." Dongzi, who was dressed like a national leader in a Chinese tunic suit, became more tactful in his actions.

For example, for Yang Dongxu, if he used to call Yang Dongxu "Xuzi" a month ago, but now he used to call "Xuzi" when no one was around, and he always called Yang Shao when outsiders were around.

Although it's just a simple title, but just this one detail change, it can be seen that Zhongzi has really grown up in the past two months, and he doesn't act like a kid in his twenties at all.

"Young Master Yang is here." Hao Yifan, who was sitting and eating, stood up. He was obviously more experienced in dealing with people than Dongzi when he grew up. Now that they all shouted "Young Master Yang", he couldn't sit still.

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

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

Compared with Dongzi's Chinese tunic suit of a successful man and an intellectual, Hao Yifan wore a more low-key one, a checkered shirt with big pants, and a pair of sandals. With only 165 heads, he is chubby, so when he smiles, he feels a bit simple and kind.

However, Yang Dongxu has never underestimated this fat man. As the first batch of Hong Kong businessmen who entered the mainland to seek gold, he did not just test the waters in Shenzhen like other Hong Kong businessmen, but directly brought the goods north to Yanjing. Not the courage that ordinary people have.

After eating and drinking, the things were 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 don't know what happened to what I told Boss Hao last time?" Yang Dongxu asked while leaning on the chair while eating watermelon.

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

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

"Boss Hao is very generous." Hearing that Hao Yifan brought so many tape recorders to test the water at once, Yang Dongxu gave him a thumbs up.

Jumped off the chair, ran to open the box, and a big man appeared in front of Yang Dongxu. Holding the top handle, 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". He turned on the tape recorder and put it in. The familiar voice 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 to the tape recorder: "What's the price?"

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

"Tapes are fine, two yuan a disk, but the big guy can't count that way, and I don't ask how much your purchase price is. How about 80 yuan a piece? I'm going to sell 110 yuan a piece, otherwise this business can't be done, Yanjing It's not like you don't know how a person's income is." Yang Dongxu said after a while.

"Okay, this is not the first time we have cooperated, so let's go at this price. Although I am a bit at a loss, let's deepen our mutual relationship." Hao Yifan said with a painful face.

Yang Dongxu directly ignored his performance. As the saying goes, there are people doing business that is easy to kill, but no one is doing business that loses money. Although Yang Dongxu didn't know the price of these things in Hong Kong, he knew that Hao Yifan must still have a lot of profit margins.

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

"Can this thing really be sold?" Dongzi, who had been sitting beside him without speaking, frowned.

Dongzi was a little displeased with Yang Dongxu's handling of this tape recorder, not to mention that it took up too much space, and it couldn't be squeezed.

What's more important is that he knows the wages of those workers in Yanjing. They are already gnashing their teeth to buy more clothes. Some people will spend more than 100 yuan to buy this thing that can only listen to music? Dongzi feels that radios are better sold than this thing.

"According to the previous agreement, I'll sell this item. Xiushui Clothing will give you an extra 10% of the income, and it will be treated as I took the cost of transporting this item by train." Yang Dongxu said.

This thing is not easy to sell? Are you kidding me, this gadget is absolutely indispensable in the fashion style of the 80s. Don't think that this thing is a bit big at half a meter long. In a few years, there will be many young people carrying it on the streets and alleys to show off.

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

"That's it. Brothers are brothers. Business is business. One size is one size. But you can't discuss it with your uncle. What's the use of the space you stared at me with tape recorders and tapes? How much is it worth to put all the space for clothes? It’s a big deal to get a few more sections of train leather.” Yang Dongxu interrupted Dongzi’s words.

"You think I don't want to? Don't you know that the transportation capacity is extremely tight now?" Dongzi sighed, and he was a little bit unwilling, but he had spent more than half a month on his uncle's side, and he didn't even want half of the train skin. Come on, he can't help it.

Let alone 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 method is good. There is a port on the other side of Yantai, and Shenzhen, or Hong Kong is close to the sea. As long as we can transport things to Yantai by boat, we can come back by truck." Dongzi's eyes suddenly lit up.

But thinking that if you use a boat, you must have a ferry, he was a little embarrassed for a while: "I don't have any connections with the boat. If you want to find someone, maybe someone knows what we do."

Although they didn't finish talking, Yang Dongxu and Hao Yifan already understood that since Dongzi used the railway transportation to get a share of the pie, they must have a hand in finding those who can get ships.

"Can you find the boat there?" Yang Dongxu looked at Hao Yifan.

"There is no problem with the ship. There is a shipping company in Hong Kong, and you can enter the customs."

"My grandfather knows some people from the foreign office. I'll see if I can clear it up." Yang Dongxu thought for a while and took the matter over.
