There were really many big things that happened in 1955. The first was the official issuance of the second set of RMB. He Yongqiang took his huge sum of more than 60 million and exchanged it for more than 6,000 yuan.
Then the country introduced measures such as food stamps and food books, and we found that buying things was not as convenient as before.
The last thing is about the future and fate of the tavern, because the public-private partnership has officially begun to advance.
"Yongqiang, I heard that our tavern is going to be used as a pilot public-private partnership." After all, Yu Yangyang works as an accountant in the subdistrict office, so he is very well-informed about all kinds of information.
"Huh? Can you refuse?" He Yongqiang immediately rejected the public-private partnership.
"Hmph! What do you think?" Yu Yangyang asked He Yongqiang angrily. In fact, she didn't like He Yongqiang running a tavern.
"Yangyang, I don't want to accept a public-private partnership. I feel that I will face a lot of troubles."
"Yongqiang, public-private partnership is the general trend, and we simply cannot resist it."
"Yangyang, this is what I think. We completely give up the management rights and turn the tavern into a real state-owned tavern. The street office will naturally buy it out, but we request to continue to retain the property of the tavern. In the future, the street or state-owned tavern will The tavern pays our fair share of rent.”
"Huh? Isn't this okay?"
"Yangyang, the purpose of the public-private partnership is to turn it into a state-owned company step by step, so we might as well give up the management rights voluntarily. You must know that the public manager will be dispatched from the beginning of the public-private partnership. Who will be listening to the day-to-day management of the tavern?"
"Of course I listen to the public manager."
"Isn't that right! If we encounter a public manager who doesn't understand business, then our life will become very difficult. We might as well give up the right to operate and become a landlord from the beginning, and then see if we can find a formal manager. Do your job."
"..." He Yongqiang's words spoke to Yu Yangyang's heart. She had always wanted He Yongqiang to find a formal job, "That's fine! But this must be discussed with the street."
"Tomorrow I will go to your subdistrict office and discuss this matter with your Director Li."
The sub-district office was surprised to hear that He Yongqiang gave up the management rights so proactively. You must know that the purpose of the public-private partnership is to become state-owned step by step through redemption.
Now that He Yongqiang has given up the management rights of the tavern, it has suddenly become state-owned, which naturally saves a lot of time in the transformation of the tavern.
However, there were still some disputes over the property rights of the tavern. The street office still wanted to buy the property rights of the tavern directly.
"He Yongqiang, why are you unwilling to sell the property rights of the bistro to the street?" Director Li looked at He Yongqiang in front of him with a puzzled face.
"Director Li, the bistro is a legal and compliant ancestral property. Naturally, I don't want to deal with it casually." He Yongqiang could only explain the matter of ancestral property again.
"Can't it be negotiated? The price can be negotiated."
"Director Li, in fact, many private shops nowadays are rented from other people. We can also operate according to this, right?"
"Okay! Then let the sub-district office buy the operating rights of Hejia Bistro in Daqianmen. The specific amount will be calculated by a special sub-district accountant. The state-owned bistro will pay you a rent of 180 yuan every year, and arrange for you in addition. Working as a cook in a tavern, the salary is thirty-five yuan a month."
"Director Li, our bistro doesn't have a kitchen."
"The restaurant next to the tavern belongs to the public housing of the neighborhood office, so it will be merged with the tavern for operation."
"Who was the first manager?"
"Fan Jinyou, a cadre of the subdistrict office."
"Huh? Mr. Fan doesn't understand business, does he?"
"Haha, you can learn if you don't understand!"
"Yes! Director, I will block the small door leading to the backyard from the tavern later, so that the tavern will have nothing to do with us in the future."
Seeing Director Li supporting the idiot Fan Jinyou so much, He Yongqiang knew that Fan Jinyou had given him another benefit, so he simply continued on his own.
A daily routine of pretending to be stupid.
"Okay! He Yongqiang, your bistro has set an example! It is the first purely state-owned restaurant in our street. Just thinking about it makes me feel honored."
He Yongqiang naturally knew what kind of virtue Fan Jinyou was, and he had already expected that Fan Jinyou would make the state-owned restaurant a mess, and he couldn't help but feel grateful for the wisdom of his decision.
Soon Yu Yangyang learned the good news, and was happy that He Yongqiang had a stable job. In her eyes, a formal job was honorable enough.
Immediately afterwards, the street office sent two street accountants to the tavern for accounting. He Yongqiang also took out all the accounts of the tavern and completely blocked the small door leading to the backyard from the tavern.
After some statistics from two street accountants, the street office suddenly discovered that since 1953, the business of the tavern had suddenly increased tenfold.
The shocked subdistrict office naturally suspected that the accounts were false, and then called in the director of the neighborhood committee and He Yongqiang to investigate.
"He Yongqiang, why is the business situation so different before and after 1953?" Director Li looked directly at He Yongqiang in front of him and asked.
"Director Li, five or three years ago, my father always wholesaled wine from stores in the city. The price was almost the same as the retail price in our tavern. There was no other way but to add water to the wine. This is also a big problem. The industry insider of the tavern near the front door was naturally not liked and welcomed by the guests. Later, my father asked me to travel dozens of miles to Niulan Mountain to buy wine. There were more and more of them, and then my father bought a radio and put it in the tavern, and hired the film master Qiu Guangpu to read newspapers and tell stories, which naturally made the tavern’s business more and more popular. Get better."
"Oh? He Yongqiang, are all these ideas coming from your father?"
"That's right! It's precisely because I don't know how to run a business that I voluntarily gave up the right to operate the Hejia Bistro."
"Well, He Yongqiang, from now on you will still be responsible for buying wine and shopping in Niulan Mountain, okay?"
"Director Li, this is really not possible because my father has always been in contact with Niulanshan. The most I can do is run errands back and forth. Besides, Fan Jinyou, Manager Fan should have someone to purchase."
"Hey! That's right! Then go back first!"
"Director Li, aunt, goodbye."
After He Yongqiang left the street director's office, Director Li looked at the neighborhood committee director's aunt and asked, "Comrade aunt, what do you think?"
"The business of the He family tavern is indeed very good. If the He family and his son hadn't closed the restaurant on time at 11 o'clock, many customers would have been willing to stay until midnight, and the tavern would have started to have customers at one or two o'clock in the afternoon."
"Oh? Do the residents of Daqianmen like drinking so much?"
"Director, of course it's not just for drinking! Mostly it's to listen to the radio! The He family and his son are also very generous people. Except for the regular time when they read the newspaper, they turn off the radio. At other times, they always play opera and news, so Their electricity consumption is also rising slowly, but they can’t support their business!”
"Comrade Auntie, do you mean to believe that there will be a ten-fold difference in sales?"
"Believe it! Everyone in Daqianmen believes it."
"Well, does Comrade Auntie think He Yongqiang really doesn't understand business?"
"How is that possible! Everyone in Qianmen knows that these weird ideas were all forced by He Yong. He probably pushed them to the deceased old man He on purpose. After all, there is a saying that wealth should not get out of the way."
"Hey! It seems he still has concerns about our streets!"
"Director Li, in fact, the main reason is that the rationing system is now implemented. All kinds of tickets are required to buy any supplies. Even if He Yongqiang has the ability, it is not easy to use, so he voluntarily gave up the right to operate the tavern."
"Well, that makes sense. It seems that He Yongqiang is a smart man."
