Chapter 789 Spring Breeze of 1991

At the end of January 1991, an old man came to Shanghai for inspection and pointed out that the people of Shanghai should be more open-minded, bolder and faster.

This undoubtedly gave a shot of adrenaline to the economy of Shanghai, no, the entire Chinese economy.

In the market, the most intuitive reaction is that more and more people are going into business, more and more small vendors are on the streets, and more and more private enterprises are registered.

At the same time, there was another wave of upward market in the stock market. Each of the "old eight stocks" rose sharply, among which Feilo Electric's stock price soared all the way, directly breaking 500 yuan, causing Shanghai stockholders to go crazy.

Qin Hao's 16,000 shares of Yanzhong Industrial also soared directly to 3.2 million, doubling in just one month. This is the charm of stocks.

Unfortunately, there are too few stocks circulating in the market. Under the psychological expectation of a good market situation, stockholders who have stocks are holding on tightly. No one knows how high the stock price can rise. If they sell now and it rises again in the future, it will be as uncomfortable as losing money.

On February 8, the Minor New Year in the South, a shed had been set up in front of the Vientiane Plaza, and stalls selling various flowers, plants, couplets and other New Year goods were also in place. In the 1990s, people were still very enthusiastic about the New Year, especially for children, this was the happiest time of the year for them.

For adults, in fact, they have no interest in playing, basically they go wherever the children like to go. There is no doubt that the Vientiane Plaza is definitely the most attractive place for children, where eating, drinking and playing are basically gathered together.

Department stores such as Hulian Department Store finally broke through layers of obstacles and removed the counters that were in the way, which did attract some customers to return and business improved. Just when these department stores were preparing to make a big effort and fight to the death with the Vientiane Plaza.

Vientiane Plaza suddenly launched a three-guarantee policy, which caught all the department stores on Nanjing Road off guard.

Is the three-guarantee policy complicated? In fact, it is not complicated. Can it be done? No!

Why? The reason is very simple. These department stores are either state-owned enterprises or collective enterprises. It took them a whole year to remove a counter. The managers of these department stores are not all as good as Mr. Xu, but they are definitely not much different. It is impossible for them not to see that the sales model of supermarkets is a dimensionality reduction attack on the counter sales model.

Why not follow up?

It is just impossible. This is how things work in the system. Various interest relationships are complicated. Under the constraints of all parties, let alone reform, even a slight change has already tried their best.

Not to mention the three guarantees policy, which involves sales, after-sales, procurement, and manufacturers. If there is any link that is not well connected, it is impossible to implement it in place.

Although these department stores on Nanjing Road have also launched some New Year activities, such as lottery, giving away refrigerators and color TVs, the effect is not good. Compared with the illusory winning rate, the three guarantees policy is more practical.

Therefore, starting from February 8, the supply of household appliances such as refrigerators and color TVs in Vientiane Plaza was in short supply. For example, Panda TV created a sales record of 1,800 units sold in one day, and obtained the trademark of Shanghai Famous Brand in one fell swoop. The manufacturer representative of Panda TV smiled so hard that his face was about to be crooked, and he kept holding Qin Hao's hand and saying thank you. The man who was almost 40 years old cried so hard.

Not only household appliances, but also clothing categories have set new records. The most popular brand is still the foreign brand Montagut, but there are also several domestic brands that sell well and have successively obtained the trademark of Shanghai Famous Brand.

For a time, more manufacturers flocked to the Vientiane Plaza. In addition to increasing sales and making money, they also wanted to increase their reputation. Now shopping malls across the country are staring at Vientiane Plaza, imitating or learning. As long as the product is on the shelves of Vientiane Plaza, it is equivalent to having a business card, and they have the initiative when entering shopping malls across the country.

Some manufacturers even shouted the slogan: I would rather lose money than enter Vientiane.

"Tsk tsk, Ahao's business is really amazing. It is estimated that he must have made tens of millions of dollars in turnover this day, right?"

Abao was in the long private room of the Peace Hotel, overlooking the open space in front of the Vientiane Plaza. At this moment, the people waiting to enter the shopping area have lined up on the sidewalk beside the road, and the cars along the way are even blocked to the Yellow River Road. This is because the number of cars is still relatively low, otherwise it would be more spectacular.

The uncle looked at the newspaper and nodded slightly: "There should be tens of millions of dollars in the recent New Year. What, are you envious?"

"Envy, of course, but I'm not bad either. Now my foreign trade business is booming, and I'm making a lot of money in the stock market." Abao took a sip of wine and said in high spirits.

The uncle laughed and scolded: "You are quite good at flattering yourself."

A Bao spread his hands: "What else? Don't talk about me. Uncle, you have lived for so long, how many businessmen can do business like A Hao?"

"Well, I have seen a few, but I did see such a person after I was released from prison." The uncle's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, as if he remembered the time when he was young.

After a long time, the uncle wiped his eyes, and then said to A Bao in a serious tone: "You are now on track. Have you thought about what to do next?"

Abao put down his wine glass, sat opposite his uncle, and said solemnly: "Uncle, I've thought about it, I'll continue to do foreign trade, but I plan to focus on stocks."

"Oh, tell me why."

This is also equivalent to a test.

"First of all, the threshold for foreign trade processing is low, there are many trivial matters, the cycle is long, and the profit is not high. To put it bluntly, we are now earning money from exchange rate subsidies. Now more and more people are doing foreign trade. You can go to the foreign trade building and see that you can't squeeze in when there are many people."

Abao paused: "Now the Shanghai Stock Exchange has just opened not long ago, and the stock has risen several times. I believe that the Shenzhen Stock Exchange will also open this year. By then, there will be another big market. The money earned from stocks in a month is more than that earned from foreign trade in a year."

In fact, in Abao's heart, he still holds back a breath. The ten-year agreement with Xuezhi is his belief in fighting for his career.

The uncle shook his head when he heard this: "Don't forget the Empire State Building in New York that I told you about. The stock market is ever-changing. It's good when you make money, but when you lose money, you may lose everything overnight."

"So, I didn't say I would give up foreign trade. Foreign trade makes stable money. Stocks are a small bet for a big gain. Even if I lose, just treat it as paying tuition. I can start all over again."

The uncle still shook his head: "Remember what I told you about the three wallets of a man?"

"Your most stable escape route is not foreign trade, but your relationship with Ahao. Even if you are bankrupt now, as long as Ahao says a word, you can borrow money from others."

"Human relations can only become thicker and thicker if you get along with each other frequently. The New Year is coming soon, so you should move around more."

Abao smiled and waved his hand: "My relationship with Ahao will not change even if we don't interact for ten years."

The uncle looked out the window and said nothing more, because he also has some connections. Even if he was in prison, after so many years, it still hasn't changed.

At the same time, Qin Hao was pushing a cart, following behind Wang Mingzhu and a well-dressed middle-aged couple.

Wang Mingzhu held her parents' hands on the left and right, and looked back at Qin Hao from time to time, with an apologetic face.

"What's so good about it? How could he get lost?" The middle-aged man glared at his daughter with dissatisfaction.

Wang Mingzhu pulled back her hand that was holding the middle-aged man's arm, and said with her hands on her waist in dissatisfaction: "Dad, you know he's very busy now, and you still called him to do hard labor. You're too much, don't you know!"

"Oh, look, you're starting to protect him now." The middle-aged man pouted at his wife, with an expression that his cabbage was being eaten by a pig.

The middle-aged woman quietly watched the father and daughter compete with each other in acting: "You're almost done, I'm still planning to have a good chat with my future son-in-law."

"What future son-in-law? I haven't even started yet." Wang Mingzhu shyly held her mother's arm and acted coquettishly.

The middle-aged man also echoed: "Yes, it's hard to pass my level!"

"Xiao Qin, you must be tired, you've worked hard today." The middle-aged woman ignored the drama father and daughter, left them and pulled Qin Hao to ask about his well-being.

As the saying goes, the more the mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, the more she likes him. Moreover, Qin Hao's figure, appearance, and other conditions perfectly meet the standards of Wang's mother for choosing a son-in-law.

"It's not hard. I've wanted to visit my uncle and aunt for a long time, but I never had the chance."

Before Qin Hao finished speaking, Wang's mother looked at her daughter with suspicion: "Is this girl interfering?"

"Don't worry about her. This child has been spoiled by her father since she was a child. Come to our house often in the future, and Auntie will make delicious food for you."

Dad Wang was unhappy: "Come often, I don't have so much free time to receive you."

"You don't have time, but I do. I'm not here to see you."

A threatening look from Wang's mother instantly killed Wang's father.

Afterwards, Qin Hao pushed a cart of New Year's goods into the trunk of the Cadillac, and asked the driver Xiao Li to take Wang Mingzhu and her family home.

"Xiao Qin, Xiao Wang has already told me about your family situation. You are lonely alone. Come to our house for the New Year this year. There are more people and it's lively."

"Okay, Auntie, I don't know why I feel so close to you when I see you."

Dad Wang's eyes rolled up and he could hardly see his black eyes. Wang Mingzhu looked at Qin Hao with an incredible look. She never thought that Qin Hao would say such a mushy thing.

When the taillights of the car disappeared in front of him, Qin Hao snapped his fingers. After so many worlds, he summed up a rule and dealt with his mother-in-law. Everything was twice as easy as before.

As the New Year approached, Huanghe Road became more lively. At this time every year, the restaurants on Huanghe Road would be crowded and it was hard to get a bag.

Previously, although Lu Meilin and her friends forced Jin Fenghuang to remove the stage in the hall, the chef of Su cuisine invited by Commander Cai was indeed a great cook. Not only did Jin Fenghuang's business not get worse, but it was even better than before.

In this regard, even if the proprietress of Huanghe Road was unwilling, she couldn't go to trouble Jin Fenghuang again. After all, Commander Cai, the old silver coin, had many tricks. Under the situation of being afraid of the consequences, Huanghe Road seemed to be harmonious on the surface.

At the end of the year, Qin Hao had many dinner parties. He asked General Manager Xu to attend all the business social events on his behalf, but he could only handle many government relations in person.

"Oh, General Manager Qin, Director Zhao, look at me, it's Director Zhao, you haven't been to our Jin Meilin for a long time, please come in."

Director Zhao teased with a bulging belly: "I would like to come, but your consumption here is too high. My salary this month is not enough for a meal."

While the group was chatting and laughing, they had already arrived at the box.

After Qin Hao finished ordering, Lu Meilin consciously took the menu and left.

Director Zhao saw this and joked: "Mr. Qin, there is a rumor on the Yellow River Road. I wonder if you have heard of it."

"Oh? What rumors?"

"It is said that Mr. Qin usually treats guests to Jin Meilin for dinner. I am also very surprised why there are so many restaurants on the Yellow River Road, but Mr. Qin only has a soft spot for Jin Meilin."

Qin Hao joked: "To be honest with Director Zhao, I have a girlfriend and I have a bad temper. The landlady on the Yellow River Road is Yingying Yanyan. If something happens, I won't be able to tell you what to do." Only the boss lady Jin Meilin is the most reassuring.”

Although he knew Qin Hao was joking, he still made everyone in the box burst into laughter.

Director Zhao also added: "You really don't believe it. I have seen this comrade Xiao Wang. He has a bad temper."

"Haha~~~" Everyone laughed again.

"Mr. Qin, this is your fault. A young and talented person with a successful career like you has become a henpecker. What about the rest of us?"

"That's right, Mr. Qin, you have to set an example for us."

Faced with the ridicule from everyone, Qin Hao said seriously: "It's good to have strict wife control. Only if your wife is in charge, you won't make principled mistakes."

"Haha~~~" There was another burst of laughter.

After the joke, Director Zhao suppressed the smile on his face and said to Qin Hao: "Mr. Qin, I heard that you not only built Vientiane Plaza in Shenzhen, but also introduced Hong Kong's Hema boutique supermarket. I think, we in Shanghai are also completely If you have the strength to bring it in.”

"Yes, Mr. Qin, why do you say that Vientiane Plaza was also developed in Shanghai? You are a bit too partial to one."

Qin Hao said with difficulty: "Actually, the reason why Vientiane Plaza was founded in the first place was mainly because Hema's business method is somewhat different from that of ordinary supermarkets. Hema is a membership-only supermarket, and the annual fee is not cheap. Not all customers can Accepted.”

"So that's it, but if Shenzhen can build it, we should have no problem in Shanghai, right?" Bureau Zhao has been coveting the Hema brand for a long time. After all, Hong Kong was still a representative of a prosperous and modern international city in the 1990s.

"This is not impossible, but if Hema is to be built, it will require a large amount of land."

Director Zhao waved his hand: "I will figure out a solution to the land issue."

"Then I'll trouble Director Zhao. By the way, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Thank you leaders for your continued support of Vientiane Plaza. This is our shopping card for Vientiane Plaza. Leaders can take it back and distribute benefits to colleagues in the unit. Just think of it as a small thought from me.”

"Oh? Shopping card? This thing allows you to buy things directly at Vientiane Plaza?"

"No wonder Mr. Qin's business is so big and he always has such fantastic ideas."

"Haha, then I will thank Mr. Qin on behalf of my colleagues in the unit."
