After coming out of the third sister's place, Li Yi's brows have been frowning, and his mood has been affected to a certain extent.
Ever since he learned that Long Zhanjun had opened 4 branches in Pengcheng, and Jiang Longyin was the one who instigated this matter, Li Yi knew that trouble was coming.
The third sister and Long Zhanjun saw the money made by opening a store, but did not realize the risks involved.
How could Li Yi not know that opening a restaurant is really profitable now... No, it should be a lot of money.
Although the income of ordinary people is indeed not high these days, there are so many large and small companies these days, plus government units at all levels, there are a lot of miscellaneous leaders.
And these people who hold political and corporate power have considerable spending power.
If there is an employer that foots the bill, that's not a good idea.
It can be said that it is not that there are no consumer groups these days, but that there is a lack of a large enough consumer market.
Under such circumstances, even if you go to the city to sell tea eggs, you can earn much more than ordinary government leaders.
Making mushroom bombs is not as good as selling tea eggs. This is not just talk, it is a reality.
However, high returns are often accompanied by high risks. Now that the reform has entered its fourth year, the first hurdle in crossing the river by feeling the stones has already appeared.
On one side is the crazily growing private economy, on the other side is the overheated national economy and unsolvable ideological disputes.
In the newly established Pengcheng Special Economic Zone, the slogan "Time is money, efficiency is life" hangs high at Shekou Port; in places such as Daqiuzhuang in Jincheng and Huaxi Village in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, a number of places such as Yu Min and Wu Bao have emerged. Officials quietly encouraged villagers to set up factories to generate income.
In Anhui Province, Nian Guangjiu, a self-employed businessman, registered the trademark "Foolish Melon Seeds" and set up a factory without hesitation, despite his wife's dissuasion.
In fact, this business tycoon earned his first million in life as early as 1976.
Correspondingly, the reform of state-owned enterprises is advancing with difficulty, "treason" is rampant, smuggling and trading activities are rampant, speculation and fraud are common, and some people who got rich first are indeed too high-profile, and the private economy that is gaining momentum suddenly becomes The scapegoat…
As a result, from 1982 to 1983, there were repeated policies on individual businesses.
In this case, many unlucky people were hit. Not only were their money confiscated, but they were also arrested and sentenced.
The most typical example here is Wen City, where the private economy first sprouted. Just this year, Wen City's famous "Eight Kings" were hit hard. Some were caught, some escaped, and some were sentenced. None of them ended up well. .
Because he knew this, Li Yi knew very well that it was not the time to let go and do anything.
At present, "speculation", a special product of the planned economy era, still exists, and the definition of this crime is extremely vague, and you will fall into it if you are not careful.
This is why Li Yi would rather travel a long way to Hong Kong Island, or even invest in London, New York and other places, rather than return to China to set up a factory in his personal capacity.
It's not that he doesn't want to be a hero in revitalizing national industries, but that he doesn't want to be labeled a capitalist.
More importantly, it will be 83 years soon, which also means that the vigorous activities are about to begin.
If you dare to come forward at this time, it doesn't matter what your reasons are, and it doesn't matter how strong the relationship behind you is. Eating peanuts is just a matter of words.
Therefore, even if these two Li Yi investments are made, they will be done in the name of Xingchen Investment Company.
Moreover, he rarely participates in the management of the branch, so as not to give anyone an excuse to attack him.
This time he didn't want to meet with the leaders above, he just didn't want to be the leader.
To be honest, if Jiang Xue and the children were all in the capital, otherwise Li Yi would have wanted to live in Hong Kong Island or even New York for the past two years.
All in all, the past two years in China have been too dangerous, and you will be hit if you are not careful.
But what he never expected was that Long Zhanjun would open 4 branches in Pengcheng at once. Adding these ones in Beijing, there would be a total of 8 stores.
For Li Yi, this is equivalent to a time bomb.
After all, according to some life-imposed standards, he has hired far more than 8 people, who are fully exploited class and capitalists.
No one is paying attention to this matter now, so it's not a big problem, but if someone attacks him with this, even if the Jiang family and the Ye family come forward, they may not be able to save him.
What made him even more confused was that Jiang Longyin was involved in this. Was he able to hold on after eating enough...
...........
When I got home, the children had woken up, and Jiang Xue was teaching the two little ones how to recognize animals on the kang.
Seeing Li Yi push the door and come in, his face was not very pretty, Jiang Xue immediately asked: "What's wrong, what happened?"
Li Yi sighed and said, "I'll make a call first and talk to you later!"
After saying that, Li Yi hurried to the study room, which made Jiang Xue feel inexplicably worried.
When he came to the study, Li Yi hesitated for a moment, and then dialed the number of his second brother Jiang Longyin.
"Dudu..."
After a busy tone, the phone was picked up, and Jiang Longyin's familiar voice came: "Who is this?"
"Second brother, it's me, Li Yi!"
Jiang Longyin immediately smiled and said, "What a rare visitor. Why did you think of calling me?"
"Second brother, I would like to ask my third brother-in-law about the store opening in Pengcheng. How much do you know?"
Perhaps hearing Li Yi's serious tone, Jiang Longyin immediately said: "As far as I know, your third brother-in-law has opened a total of four stores here, one near the city hall and the station, and the remaining two are both in Zhongying. Street, and the business of these stores is very good, I am thinking about asking them to keep up their efforts and open two more branches!"
Li Yi twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Second brother, you are putting me on the fire!"
"Why do you say that?" Jiang Longyin asked.
Li Yi did not answer his question immediately, but asked: "Second brother, have you heard about the Eight Kings of Wen City incident?"
Jiang Longyin had naturally heard of such a typical thing, and he immediately realized it.
"Brother-in-law, are you worried that you might become the next Eight Kings?"
Li Yi said with certainty: "If we continue like this, it will not be a problem, but it will definitely become a target for others!"
"Impossible, you are different from them. With your current situation, who dares to touch you?" Jiang Longyin said with a smile.
He knew how influential his brother-in-law was.
How can a person who can influence the promotion of provincial and ministerial leaders be criticized for opening a few small restaurants? Isn't this a joke?
Besides, the Jiang family and the Ye family are not just decorations. If someone dares to use this to attack Li Yi, the Jiang Ye family will not sit idly by.
"Second brother, nothing is absolute. The current situation is turbulent, especially in the past two years. Policies have been repeated frequently. There is no need for us to give people control for those three walnuts and two dates. It is not worth it!" Li Yi said.
Jiang Longyin on the other side of the phone suddenly fell silent. He understood what Li Yi meant and understood his current mood.
After all, he is already a billionaire, and there is really no need to take risks for such a small amount of money.
But thinking of the situation in Pengcheng, he could only sigh and said: "Brother-in-law, to be honest, Comrade Long Zhanjun opened so many branches one after another because it was the request of our municipal government!"
"ask?"
"Yes, a large number of businessmen from Hong Kong Island are now investing in Pengcheng. Coupled with the country's vigorous development of Pengcheng, more than 200,000 people will come to Pengcheng this year alone."
Then Jiang Longyin continued: "Pengcheng was originally a small fishing village. There was not even a decent hotel in the whole city. If the city government wanted to entertain foreign businessmen, they could only use the government cafeteria, which is very inconvenient."
"Since your barbecue restaurant opened a branch in Pengcheng, the problem of having no place to eat has been greatly improved. In order to improve the service quality in Pengcheng, we had no choice but to let Comrade Long Zhanjun open one after another. Branch!"
Hearing this, Li Yi also fell silent.
After a short while, he said: "Second brother, since there is a reason for the incident, your city government must adopt an attitude. You cannot ask for help when it is useful. If there is a problem, just treat it as if you don't know!"
"Okay, I'll discuss it with other comrades in the city right away to see how to handle this matter!" Jiang Longyin said.
"good..."
Just as he was talking, he heard the study door creaking open, and then he saw Jiang Xue put her head in and said, "Dad is here, waiting for you in the living room!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yi immediately spoke to Jiang Longyin and then hung up the phone...
