Chapter 3886 3888 [A Clear Path]

With Chen Jinshui's decentralization, the villagers of Chenjia Village were liberated.

Everyone put down their sugar-making burdens and began to switch to other businesses.

Some sold snacks, some sold braised eggs and chicken, some sold hardware and general merchandise, some sold household appliances, and some opened factories... In short, there were all kinds of businesses, each with its own ways.

And with the release of their subjective initiative, the business of Chenjia Town and even Yiwu became more prosperous.

Chen Jintu, under Xiang Nan's suggestion, fried melon seeds at home and sold them at the station, which was very popular, and many passing passengers were willing to buy a bag.

Just selling fried nuts, he could make several yuan a day, which was much better than exchanging chicken feathers for sugar.

Because the business here was booming, many merchants from other places came to Yiwu specifically to do business.

...

After the summer vacation, Xiang Nan continued to go back to school.

While completing his studies, he continued to write books and often wrote letters to Qiaogu, Qiu Yingjie and others.

Qiu Yingjie is in a junior college with a three-year course and will graduate next year. Because of his good academic performance in school, the school intends to let him stay in school as a teacher.

However, Qiu Yingjie wants to return to Yiwu and give back to his hometown with the knowledge he learned in college.

Xiang Nan admires his sentiment very much.

You know, Qiu Yingjie went to Beijing. If he stayed in the junior college in Beijing as a teacher, in another ten or twenty years, the junior college would be upgraded to a university, and he would be promoted from a lecturer to a professor... By then, he would gain both fame and fortune, which is much better than returning to Yiwu.

But he didn't want to stay in Beijing, but to return to Yiwu. Such a spirit of dedication is really admirable.

With the blessing of this good official, the business environment in Yiwu will definitely be better. By then, the people of Yiwu will be able to make more money and live a much better life.

Xiang Nan also made suggestions on Qiu Yingjie's future work direction, suggesting that he focus on the development of small commodity wholesale in Yiwu.

He cited the example of the American gold rush. At that time, there were rumors of gold flowing out of the western United States. Countless gold diggers went to the west to pan for gold, but after years of hard work, they did not find many pieces of gold. It was just a dream, but the shops selling gold panning tools all made a fortune.

Now that the country has liberalized the private economy, just like the American gold rush back then, many people want to do business and make a fortune. Then Yiwu is engaged in small commodity wholesale, just like the shops selling gold panning tools back then.

Regardless of whether those businessmen make money in the end, Yiwu will definitely make money anyway.

Xiang Nan's letter gave Qiu Yingjie a lot of inspiration. He specially wrote back to praise Xiang Nan's good idea and pointed out a clear way for the development of Yiwu.

…

In 1982, Qiu Yingjie officially graduated from junior college.

He gave up the opportunity to stay in school and chose to return to Yiwu to work and give back to his hometown.

His return made the county very happy.

In the 1980s, college students were the pride of heaven and were still quite popular. Especially in Yiwu, there are few college students in the whole county. Even if they are admitted to college, they rarely return to work in the poor Yiwu.

Qiu Yingjie was the first one, so he was warmly welcomed and entrusted with the important task of serving as the deputy director of the Yiwu Office.

After he returned to Yiwu, he urged the county to let go and support the people's business. Don't crack down on chicken feathers for sugar and street stalls.

His suggestions had a great impact on the county, so after research, the county finally decided to issue a notice to encourage people to do business and no longer suppress chicken feathers for sugar and street stalls.

In fact, before this, there were already many self-employed people in Yiwu.

According to Xiang Nan's suggestion, many small vendors applied for business licenses in the name of unemployed young people, and those wearing red hoop dared not to control them.

But doing so always has a suspicion of taking advantage of loopholes, and it is not justified, and there is still a little guilty.

Now that the notice has been posted, these businessmen have completely let go. For a time, the commodity trade in Yiwu flourished.

Qiu Yingjie also proposed the plan of "building a wholesale market for small commodities in Yiwu" later, so that Yiwu could learn from Wuhan and Wenzhou and attract businessmen from all over the world to do business in Yiwu.

And his plan was also supported by the county.

…

"This Director Qiu is indeed a college student. He has a long-term vision and actually thought of building a wholesale market for small commodities. OK, once this market is built, the economy of our Yiwu will definitely take off." Chen Jinshui said with a smile.

This wholesale market for small commodities is like a workshop for knocking sugar, and people who come to Yiwu to purchase small commodities are equivalent to the burden of knocking sugar. But in terms of scale, it is tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of times larger than knocking sugar.

Even if a small commodity can only earn a profit of one or two cents, once the scale is increased, the profit is also considerable.

Moreover, the factories, workshops, and self-employed households that produce small commodities upstream can also benefit from it, and it is not a problem to support hundreds of thousands of people in Yiwu.

Maybe the people of Yiwu will no longer have to go hungry in the future, which is the best thing for the people.

"Yes, Director Qiu is really a good and capable official." Chen Jianghe echoed, and he admired Qiu Yingjie.

They had just attended a meeting held by the county for individual businesses. At the meeting, the county proposed a plan to create a small commodity market in Yiwu, which made them feel very excited.

"Uncle Jinshui, Brother Jimao, you are here too, what are you talking about, so lively?" At this time, Xiang Nan came over and asked with a smile.

He was on summer vacation now, and was about to go to the county to find Qiu Yingjie, but he didn't expect to see Chen Jinshui and Chen Jianghe chatting, so he asked curiously.

"Nothing, just chatting." Chen Jinshui nodded, "Daguang, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I'm looking for someone." Xiang Nan explained.

"Who are you looking for?" Chen Jianghe asked curiously.

"Looking for Qiu Yingjie." Xiang Nan smiled.

"Do you know Director Qiu?" Chen Jinshui asked in surprise.

"We are friends. We met when we first went to college three years ago." Xiang Nan smiled.

"You are friends with Director Qiu?" Chen Jinshui and Chen Jianghe were very surprised. They didn't expect Xiang Nan's connections to be so wide.

...

"Daguang~" At this moment, someone shouted.

"Yingjie~" Xiang Nan smiled and greeted him.

Chen Jinshui and Chen Jianghe stared at the two people holding hands tightly together.

"Long time no see, I really miss you." Qiu Yingjie smiled.

"Me too." Xiang Nan smiled, "You are really good. You really fulfilled your promise and returned to work in Yiwu."

"No matter how high a bird flies, it will return to its nest. Yiwu is my home, and I have the obligation to build it better." Qiu Yingjie smiled.

"That's great." Xiang Nan nodded, "I really want to learn from you."

"Why, you want to go back to work in Yiwu after graduating from college?" Qiu Yingjie asked quickly.

"That's not the case. I plan to go abroad." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.

After graduating from college, Xiang Nan had four options: either obey the assignment, enter the factory or enter the government.

Based on his academic performance and the status of Fudan University, he would definitely enter the management level if he entered the factory or the government. After all, now cadres are young, knowledgeable and professional, and college students like Xiang Nan are the most popular.
