Chapter 399 The First Batch of Millionaires!
In Yang Ming's opinion, if these aunts who sell clothes continue to do this business without any interference from others, according to their income, they must be the earliest batch of ten thousand yuan households in Guangzhou, or even in China.
In this era, a ten thousand yuan household is really not simple.
The term "ten thousand yuan household" was created in the late 1970s.
In that era, a ten thousand yuan household was a very impressive family.
In the era of ten thousand yuan households, 10,000 yuan could buy a lot of things.
At that time, the price of rice was 0.14 yuan, the price of meat was 0.95 yuan, the gift to relatives was about 2 yuan, and the New Year's money was 0.1 yuan to 0.2 yuan. 10,000 yuan could buy a lot of things.
And in that era, there were relatively few people with 1,000 yuan in savings.
The salary of workers was generally about 28 yuan per month.
A family with an income of more than 10,000 yuan was called a ten thousand yuan household.
Historically, it was reported that at the end of 1979, Li Dexiang, a member of Yantan Commune, Lancheng, Gansu Province, received 10,000 yuan from the team, and the members called his family a "ten thousand yuan household" and "a senior cadre in the village."
However, Yang Ming learned that the earliest millionaires were not from here.
Among them, Wu Renbao from Huaxi Village secretly set up a hardware factory in the village in the early 1970s. At that time, it was only a hardware factory with 20 people. Three years later, it reached an annual output value of 240,000. By 1978, Huaxi Village had a total asset of 1 million yuan and a bank deposit of 1 million yuan, which was not low per capita.
However, Yang Ming knew that this Huaxi Village was different from what he imagined.
In addition to Huaxi Village, when Lu Guanqiu from Xiaoshan was 25 years old, he secretly set up an agricultural machinery factory. By 1978, the factory had 400 people and an annual output value of more than 3 million yuan. The scale was even larger, and his wealth was even greater.
In Yang Ming's view, if those who sell vegetables and clothes are self-employed, then Huaxi Village and Lu Guanqiu are actually the first batch of township enterprises, and the scale is also larger.
Now Yang Ming is really surprised to see the changes in Yangcheng. No wonder, in history, even though Yangcheng did not have the special zone policy like Pengcheng, the free business here made Yangcheng develop very well.
What is Yangcheng lacking now?
It is still a lot of capital, technology, management, etc.
The more Yang Ming looked, the more surprised he was.
In his opinion, these are actually business opportunities.
Chen Zhenhua does not know these, and Secretary Zhang and Mr. Shen do not know them either. They think these are just small businesses, or those citizens do them secretly.
If the higher-ups want to investigate, those small vendors will certainly not be able to do it.
However, since Mr. Xi presided over Guangdong Province, the free business in Yangcheng has always been there, and no one has interfered.
"Mr. Shen, Secretary Zhang, the business of individual households in Yangcheng is really good. I support it very much, and even hope that the old gentleman will strongly support it."
"Mr. Yang, they are just making a living."
Secretary Zhang thinks that if those people can get into state-owned enterprises and have iron rice bowls, they will definitely not do these things.
Yang Ming shook his head.
"They are not supporting their families. They are the first batch of self-employed people. Under normal circumstances, they will become the first batch of 10,000 yuan households in China, and may even be the earliest batch of rich people in China."
What is the concept of 10,000 yuan households now?
Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang also know.
With their salary, they really dare not aspire to become 10,000 yuan households, because they will be shot.
For those ordinary people, it is really not easy to become 10,000 yuan households.
After watching these small vendors doing business, Yang Ming really felt very good.
When Yang Ming asked to go to the department store in Yangcheng to have a look, Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang could only take Yang Ming there.
There are still many department stores in Yangcheng now.
Yang Ming came to one of the Friendship Stores.
This is the most famous department store in Yangcheng.
The items inside are dazzling.
There are many kinds of goods, including TVs, tape recorders, watches, famous wines, cosmetics, White Rabbit milk candies, blue can biscuits, etc.
However, these things are not sold to Yangcheng citizens, but to foreign guests.
When Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong saw the goods inside, they found that they were somewhat similar to supermarkets in Hong Kong, but also somewhat different.
As for the price.
The things inside are actually not cheap.
The TV here costs 400 yuan, the radio costs more than 100 yuan, the watches cost dozens of yuan, and there are also hundreds of yuan, and those cosmetics, etc., seem to be much more expensive than those seen outside.
"Mr. Yang, the goods here are sold to foreign guests and overseas Chinese. As for the citizens of Yangcheng, they can only go to the supply and marketing cooperatives and other department stores to buy them."
Yang Ming found that there are still many things here, and the things here are sold to foreign guests and overseas Chinese, and they don't need to use tickets.
The attitude of the waiters here is better.
If it is other supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores, you may need to use tickets to buy anything.
In that case, Yang Ming took a circle here and came to the supply and marketing cooperative that can be sold to citizens.
There are actually many things sold in the supply and marketing cooperative here.
Including food, drink, daily necessities, clothing, and even televisions.
However, when Yang Ming and his group came in, several young women wearing the work clothes of the supply and marketing cooperative just gathered around and chatted, ignoring Yang Ming and his group.
In other words, their attitude was really not good.
"Master, there are a lot of things to sell here too."
"Go ask if they need tickets?"
Azhu went to ask.
The waitress rolled her eyes at Azhu.
"Of course you need tickets to buy things here."
That is to say, you need food tickets, meat tickets, cloth tickets, oil tickets, etc.
These things were originally products of the planned era, and the supply and marketing cooperatives bought them according to the consumption supply in each place.
Except during the New Year and other festivals, there may be a lot more supply and demand.
Now it is normal time, there are not so many.
For the waitresses of the supply and marketing cooperatives here, they can buy or not. If they have tickets and money, they can sell. If they don't have tickets, they can sell them if they have connections. Anyway, whether they sell or not, it is a public matter.
As for not worrying about whether they will stink or rot if they haven't sold them for a long time, or they will be out of the shelf life.
They really don't worry. Anyway, it's not their own, and they don't have performance and sales assessment requirements. Whether they sell or not, they will get the same salary.
Yang Ming saw this.
He suddenly thought of the aunt sweeping leaves in the hotel this morning, and the three workers painting the walls.
Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang did not expect that the waiters here in the supply and marketing cooperative had such a bad attitude. No wonder the business here was so bad.
When they went over and wanted to scold these waitresses, Yang Ming hurriedly grabbed them and said, "This is not their fault."
When Yang Ming passed by those guesthouses when he returned to his hometown, he knew it.
These people are the same, because they get the same salary no matter how much they work. Because in the era of material shortage, these state-owned supply and marketing cooperatives do not worry about not being able to sell things at all. In fact, many people have to use connections to buy things from the supply and marketing cooperatives.
When many people do not have tickets, they can only use connections and personal relationships to solve the problem.
Over time, these people have developed this kind of service attitude.
However, as long as a large number of personal supermarkets appeared in major cities after the 1990s, the supply and marketing cooperatives suffered the greatest impact and had no competitiveness at all.
Whether it is the price of goods or the service attitude, the difference is too big.
In other words, even if such supply and marketing cooperatives are still in the future, they are very different from the supply and marketing cooperatives we see now.
Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang were indeed surprised. From their perspective, it was time to change because the attitude of these waitresses was already very rigid.
After Yang Ming, Mr. Shen, and Secretary Zhang came out, Yang Ming said, "You really shouldn't blame them. This has been formed in China for 20 to 30 years. When private supermarkets, or even foreign supermarkets, enter, these people will have to find new jobs, and their service attitude will be completely reversed."
"Mr. Yang, do you mean that the supply and marketing cooperatives will be gone by then?"
"It's not that there will be no supply and marketing cooperatives, but it will be difficult to compete with other supermarkets."
Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang were very surprised.
They knew that if they had been to Hong Kong and seen the attitude of the supermarket waiters there, they would know that it would be like this.
The products of these supply and marketing cooperatives have no discounts at all in terms of price, and they also need to pay in bills, which can't compete with private supermarkets at all.
"If I let the company open a few large supermarkets in Yangcheng, then these supply and marketing cooperatives will be the first to go bankrupt."
Yang Ming didn't mind saying these words in front of Secretary Zhang and Mr. Shen.
The two also nodded.
Yang Ming believed that these two people would remind the old man and Xi Lao separately.
Even if the supply and marketing cooperative wanted to change at that time, it would be too difficult.
In fact, the supply and marketing cooperatives are also a microcosm of the current domestic situation. As long as they are related to these, they are basically like this.
Coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Yang Ming walked around Yangcheng for most of the day.
Yang Ming was going back to the Friendship Hotel for lunch.
When leaving here again.
Passing by the ordinary hotel in the morning.
What Yang Ming didn't expect was that the two aunts were still sweeping the leaves.
As for the three workers, they were still painting the hole in the wall.
During this period, whether there were fallen leaves on the tree or whether they went to paint other holes in the wall, Yang Ming didn't know.
Seeing this, Yang Ming shook his head.
These are all things that need to be changed.
He knew that they might soon impact these people.
Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang saw all this, and their expressions became even uglier.
Now Yangcheng is considered the best city in the country in their opinion, and it is also the most open place. Who would have thought that these things still exist.
If it was in other cities in China, I really can't believe what would happen?
