Time flies by, and the Spring Festival is coming in the blink of an eye. Qianmen Street is one of the most prosperous commercial centers in Yanjing, and the already crowded streets have become even more crowded.
The surrounding shops have been decorated with festive decorations. There is an endless stream of people coming to the market, and the business of the tea stalls has also improved a lot.
More than a month has passed since the end of the college entrance examination, and the two shifts at the tea stall have been cancelled. Even so, the nine people were still a little confused in the face of such a large crowd.
Fortunately, there was another tea stall on Qianmen Street half a month ago, otherwise Li Jie and the others would not be able to do it at all.
No, Yao Wenguang, who complained about someone taking business away from him some time ago, has changed his attitude now. He couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the bustling street.
"Don't mention it, thanks to a new tea stall opened at the end of the street, otherwise we wouldn't be able to do it even if we had four hands."
Zhou Tong put down the spoon in his hand, reached out and wiped the sweat on his forehead and echoed.
"Yes, there are too many people going to the market these two days. I feel like people from the entire Forty-Nine City have gathered here."
…………
"Comrade, have a bowl of tea!"
"Hey, okay, please wait a moment."
…………
"Little brother, I heard that you sell Gaomoer here? Give me two packs!"
"Yes, we have it here, 50 cents per pack, 1 yuan for two packs!"
"Give!"
…………
Li Jie did not participate in the discussion between Yao Wenguang and the others. He knew that there would be an additional tea stall on Qianmen Street before the tea stall opened.
To be precise, he knew the news nearly ten days in advance.
Not long after that conversation, Yang Chongxi handed over the revised report. He mainly deleted the content about opening up self-employment.
But even so, this report has attracted great attention from others, because the profits of this small tea stall are so amazing.
Just for two cents a bowl of tea a month, the profit can be as high as several hundred!
This number is far beyond the imagination of many people. The first reaction of others when they saw this report was no different from that of Yang Chongxi, and they all found it unbelievable.
But everyone knows what Yang Chongxi is like, and he will never make a mistake. Since it is something handed over to him, he must have investigated it beforehand.
Because of this report, the name 'Han Chunming' appeared in front of senior officials for the first time.
The content in the report is unique, the data is detailed, the writing style is sophisticated, and it is extremely feasible. After a short discussion, the plan was almost unanimously approved by everyone.
The big bowl of tea model officially started to expand. In the next half month, the officials conducted a thorough investigation and finally decided to open 50 tea stalls in the downtown area to test the waters.
After all, the samples from one tea stall are too small to be universal. Only by increasing the number of samples can the authenticity of the report be verified.
If the subsequent business performance is in line with expectations, even if it is worse than Li Jie's tea stall, it won't matter much. As long as it can make a slight surplus on the basis of supporting employees, the big bowl of tea model is worth investing in.
Another tea stall not far away was established under this background.
Different from the big bowl of tea model in history, the ownership of tea stalls now is state-owned, and the people at the tea stalls are just service personnel. Like the salesmen working in the supply and marketing cooperative, they receive dead wages.
Although the situation is different and the enthusiasm of the people at the tea stall is not as high as in history, the situation is not as bad as imagined.
The staff at the newly established tea stall are basically young people who have been waiting for work assignments for a long time. Their enthusiasm for work is still very high in a short period of time, and there will be no major problems.
In fact, Li Jie was the first to throw out the big bowl of tea model, and he had already prepared for the cold. Now all tea stalls are either affiliated on the streets or affiliated with service companies. This model cannot fully stimulate the enthusiasm of employees.
After all, the fundamental reason why this model has been widely promoted lies in the 'individual economy'.
This is also the reason why state-owned restaurants were later defeated by individual restaurants. Today's state-owned restaurants are basically "difficult to enter, ugly to look at, and unpalatable to eat". There is no concept that the customer is God.
Anyway, you are eating from a big pot, and you have to work more and work less. Your boss will not give you a salary increase because of your service with a smile, nor will he fire you because of your bad attitude. At most, he will say a few words to you.
The words "iron rice bowl" are not just words. This phenomenon does not only exist in restaurants and supply and marketing cooperatives, but is a common phenomenon in all walks of life.
Not long ago, a foreign media reporter visited a state-owned factory and published an article. He mentioned in the article that what impressed him most was that a factory with more than 2,000 workers had never laid off anyone. One person, and this position can still be hereditary.
This phenomenon is simply unimaginable in his cognition, but it is generally recognized in China. At this time, the job quota is basically equivalent to private property. For employees with formal establishment, if they reach the retirement age, it will be fine. Work is passed down to children.
Therefore, Li Jie can almost predict that the big bowl of tea model will not explode immediately. It will take another one to two years, when the above opinions become unified, and it will bloom with dazzling brilliance.
The facts were just as Li Jie expected. Those educated youths who had been unemployed for a long time were indeed very motivated at first, and the business at the tea stall was also booming. However, as time went by, everyone's enthusiasm gradually faded.
There are several main reasons for this. First, the first batch of pilot stalls were basically opened in areas with very dense flow of people, which made the work very labor-intensive, almost from dawn to dusk.
The second reason is that the income from this job is not as high as expected. Although it is higher than the income from ordinary jobs, the income is limited, and the effort and reward are not proportional, which greatly affects the enthusiasm of the educated youth. Later on, some people even quit because they felt they were too tired from work.
Third, because the work was not decent enough, the educated youths assigned to the tea stalls were all young people. Young people were particularly concerned about face. Serving tea and drinking water would be too shameful.
But these are all things for later, and these problems have not yet fully exploded.
New Year's Eve arrived in a blink of an eye. In the early morning of this day, all the children of the Han family rushed home. Even the eldest sister and the second sister who were married also came back. The eldest sister and the second sister discussed with their husband's family that they would have dinner at their parents' house at noon and dinner at their parents' house in the evening. Just go back.
The eldest brother and eldest sister got married early, and now the children are both able to take care of themselves. In order to please the mother, the eldest sister specially brought her son back.
It was rare for a large family to get together, and it happened to be New Year's Eve. Mother Han had never stopped smiling from the moment she got up in the morning.
