In the dead of night, Li Yi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep!
Li Yi is full of confidence in reviving his life.
He thought that he must make the first pot of gold before everyone reacts, and then in the next ten years, he would dominate the business world, become a business tycoon more powerful than the second horse, and achieve financial freedom.
Although money is definitely not his only pursuit in this life, Li Yi has always believed in the truth that money is not everything, but it is impossible to live without money.
If you want Tang Xue, her parents, and sister to be happy and healthy, it will definitely not work without money.
And Li Yi also has his own ideals. He wants to retire at the age of forty and then take Tang Xue to travel around the world.
Many people have the idea of "The world is so big, I want to see it"!
But more people can only lament the reality that "the wallet is so small, it can't go anywhere", and then bury their dreams deeply!
Therefore, dreams require strong financial support, otherwise they will always remain in dreams.
Before today, Li Yi had never worried about anything. He believed that with his own abilities, he would definitely realize this dream.
But he forgot the most important thing. It is now 1980, reform has just begun, and the country does not yet allow the imaginary existence of hiring workers.
And this is a national red line and cannot be touched!
Fortunately, this matter has now attracted the attention of high-level officials. Not long ago, an article titled "A Debate About the Contracting of Fish Ponds" appeared in the party media and triggered widespread discussion across the country.
This is about a farmer, Chen Zhixiong, but it touches the sensitive nerve of labor employment and exploitation.
Chen Zhixiong is a farmer in Guangdong. He started contracting fish ponds in February 1979.
At that time, the production team had to pay 60 yuan a year to contract each mu of fish ponds. No one in the village dared to contract. As a "capable person" in the team, and with the original intention of solving the problem of his family's livelihood, Chen Zhixiong contracted the team. 50 acres of fish pond.
Back then, Chen Zhixiong took his whole family to take care of the fish pond. When the fish was harvested, after deducting various costs and expenses, the total amount was 3,100 yuan.
Naturally, the next year, Chen Zhixiong expanded.
He contracted another 50 acres from a neighboring village. In addition, the grass needed to be cut for feeding the fish. His family was really busy, so he had to hire help.
In the end, there were at most more than 30 part-time workers who came to Chen's house to help mow the grass, and each was paid 2 yuan a day. At one time, there were seven long-term workers, and the monthly salary was 50 yuan.
This year, Chen Zhixiong's net income from 100 acres of fish ponds was 7,250 yuan. At that time, a farmer's gross income from farming in a year was only 1,000 yuan at most.
However, Chen Zhixiong's approach directly touched the "red line", because hired labor touches the core issue of the country, and hired labor is connected with sensitive words such as capitalist and exploitation.
Chen Zhixiong and his career directly challenged the ideology of the time.
However, this kind of existence is by no means an isolated case.
In Anhui, a farmer who calls himself a "fool" also caused the "employment problem" by frying melon seeds.
His name is Nian Guangjiu. When he was 42 years old, he gained a reputation for frying melon seeds. At most, he could sell two to three thousand kilograms of melon seeds a day.
When the work was too busy, some unemployed young people were hired as helpers one after another. By the autumn of 1979, there were actually 12 helpers.
However, how can "idiots" be the exploiting class?
He could only write five characters in his life, namely "Nian Guangjiu" and "Tongyi". He earned money by picking up cigarette butts on the street when he was 7 years old. He started working as a child labor apprentice when he was 9 years old. When he was a teenager, he took over his father's fruit stall and began to make a living. Looking at his resume, it is obvious that he is a working man at the bottom.
Looking across the country, there are already quite a lot of self-employed people, with some employing more than a dozen, twenty, or even hundreds of workers.
How to deal with the issue of employee employment also troubles senior officials, because it is not only a matter of people's livelihood, but also a serious political issue.
It wasn't until 1981 that the higher authorities came to a preliminary conclusion on this matter. It was believed that Chen Zhixiong could contract across teams or hire workers. Hiring workers was not considered exploitation because his "income was higher than others, mainly because he worked more and earned more." Yes, it is beyond reproach.”
This can be regarded as a conclusion to the discussion on the employment issue, but this "conclusion" does not completely resolve the debate on the "employment issue".
Throughout the 1980s, the issue of employment experienced several ups and downs, with no final solution.
It was not until 1987 that this matter came to a relatively clear conclusion.
But can Li Yi wait until that time?
Obviously it is not possible, because from December this year, with the opening of Yiwu as a pilot city for self-employed industry and commerce, individual industry and commerce across the country will usher in an explosive development.
It was also from this time that the first batch of business-savvy people began to become rich, and then gradually developed into various fields.
I can't let them get left behind!
After thinking again and again, Li Yi decided not to be too public at this stage.
Liu San must be handled well here, and he must use people, otherwise the third sister's personal safety will not be guaranteed.
However, the employment relationship between the two parties cannot be made public. It is a real handle. Whoever gets it will be beaten to death.
After careful analysis, Li Yi felt that the employment relationship could be converted into a cooperative relationship.
The specific operation is to let Liu Saner and Sanjie set up a stall together. The remuneration will not be paid in the form of salary, but in the form of dividends.
In this way, the relationship between the two parties changed from employment to cooperation. If someone really takes this as an excuse, this will be an explanation.
We are just doing business together as a partnership, not hiring anyone else.
In addition to Liu San, the mountain goods business in the village also needs to be low-key.
Now many people in the village know that he has made money. Building a house and marrying a wife were all done without spending money, and everyone is very envious of him.
Now that everyone can use him, no one will say anything.
But as time goes by, there is no guarantee that someone will be envious and jealous.
Once a person suffers from pinkeye, he can do anything, and he has to guard against it.
After thinking about it again and again, Li Yi decided to let his family perform a play with him - crying poor.
That’s right, just crying about poverty!
He had to let the villagers know that he was not making any money from them. Instead, he was putting money into it every day and was losing money!
These village members must be made to feel guilty instead of slowly developing some bad emotions.
In fact, Li Yi is really not crying about poverty, and this is indeed the case.
Now he can earn 700-800 yuan a day from his mushroom business, and with Liangpi, he can earn almost 900 yuan.
But the expenses are also very scary. The mushroom business in Nianzishan Village alone costs 700 yuan.
In addition, the second brother-in-law also spent about 500 yuan, which means that after careful calculation, he had to pay 200 yuan a day.
Fortunately, he did make some money before, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to withstand such consumption.
So, it’s true that money is tight!
Of course, the difficulties are real, but the future is bright.
As long as we get through these few months and usher in the shipment season of mountain products, it will be clear that the clouds will clear and the sun will finally appear!
