Chapter 0004: Liberate the mind and borrow 100,000 yuan ()

When Zhou Zhenliang heard his son say that he was doing business with him, he was shocked and couldn't help but look up, as if he had seen Zhou Ming for the first time, he looked at his son up and down.

Regardless of the government, just do business? Do it with me? This is not like what a ten-year-old child said. He looked at his son for a full minute, then stopped his eyes on his son's eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Zhou Ming, where did you learn these words? Do you know that the current self-employed people are scared to do them secretly?"

Seeing that his father was staring at him, Zhou Ming's voice became a little harsh, knowing that his father was worried about him. However, he could not retreat at this time because this matter was related to many of his future layouts. If he could not even pass the father's level now, the plan and layout he had just formulated would not be implemented.

"Dad, no one taught me these words. I thought about them myself after reading and studying." Zhou Ming said solemnly.

"You are only in the third grade, so I will teach you this in the book?" His father is not stupid, nor is he so easy to fool.

Zhou Ming teased around, turned around and wandered around the room where he was sleeping, took out the thickest Chinese book, found a longer text, pretended to be extremely sincere and said, "Dad, look, this text is what I learned."

He knew that his father was illiterate and at such a critical moment, he had to deceive his father kindly.

Which boy dared to pat his chest and say that he had never lie to me since he was a child?

"Well, what is said in this book? Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Hsu when Zhou Zhenliang saw that his son really took out the book. He lit a cigarette with a match and waited for Zhou Ming Nian to listen to him.

Zhou Ming picked up the book and started to read it loudly.

"The state allows the private economy to exist and develop within the scope prescribed by law. The private economy is a supplement to the socialist public economy. The state protects the legitimate rights and interests of the private economy and guides, supervises and manages the private economy."

Zhou Ming knew that for the private economy, 1988 was a year to truly achieve legal status. On April 12 of that year, the first session of the Seventh National People's Congress passed the constitutional amendment. The new constitution added this crucial text of his "reading aloud". This was the first time that China established the status of the private economy in the form of a constitution after implementing socialist transformation and eliminating the private economy in 1956.

"Dad, the private economy includes self-employed businesses. The state stipulated that this is legal two years ago, and the state also protects the legitimate rights and interests of self-employed businesses!"

"Dad, the information in our village is too backward, and there are not many students studying. Look at Han Zeng's house at the east end of the village. His family contracted a brigade's sugar color factory. Didn't the country ignore him?" Zhou Ming saw that his father was moved, so he quickly added firewood.

The reason why Zhou Ming worked so hard to convince his father was not only to get help from his father, but to believe that his father had that ability.

Twenty years after Zhou Ming's father's death in his previous life, he always believed that if his father was alive, his family would become a rich family in the village, and his fate would not be so bumpy.

Countless illiterate people made a fortune by taking the lead and boldly in the ten years from 1986 to 1995. Why can't my father do it?

"Then what do you mean?" Zhou Zhenliang finally shook. Indeed, since Han Zeng contracted the sugar color factory, not only did nothing happen to him, but his life became more and more prosperous. The villagers saw it and said that they were not moved, that was fake.

When Zhou Ming saw that there was a door, he was secretly happy and then he gave up his shocking thought!

"Dad, let's take a loan!" Zhou Ming said decisively!

He cited widely and explained the truth, and his ultimate goal was naturally to raise money! Zhou Ming clearly remembered that the bank had a loan task in 1990! At that time, the loan was not only unsecured, but also had no interest. The bank's credit officers were asking you to get a loan!

And such a good thing is impossible in the 21st century!

Don’t mention the interest. Even if you ask for a bank loan and mortgage the house, you may not be able to borrow money!

"You are like that fire, the blazing flames burned me..." At the Spring Festival Gala in early 1988, Taiwanese singer Fei Xiang sang a song "A Fire in Winter", and this fire burned China's prices to a feverish state. According to the "China Price Yearbook" of the National Price Bureau, "1988 was a year when my country's price increase significantly increased since 1950. Calculated that the total retail price index for the whole year increased by 18.5% compared with last year, this increase was based on the cumulative increase of 23.7% for three years."

In October of that year, the central government began to adjust its strategies and proposed the policy of "macro regulation, governance and rectification". The "price breakthrough" in 1988 caused soaring prices and inflation, which was regarded as the biggest economic out-of-control since the reform and opening up in 1978. This also caused people who were damaged in inflation to develop a psychological imbalance, believing that reform caused social injustice and all the benefits were occupied by "official collapse".

In a blink of an eye, the Chinese economy went from the steaming 1988 to the cold and slaughtering 1989. This year was a year of political tension and economic weakness for China. Many problems such as inflation, corruption of officials, and the craze of migrant workers have accelerated in this year. Because the political situation of socialist countries such as the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, coupled with the political turmoil in China and the wild grass-growing private economy, some people began to worry: Will these make socialist China "discolor"? This kind of concern eventually led to the "late spring cold" phenomenon of China's economy.

In this "late spring cold", corrupt officials were imprisoned, and private entrepreneurs such as Li Shufu, Wang Tingjiang, Jiang Xipei, etc., who were "frightened" all sent their businesses to the local government in order to reduce their wealth and eliminate disasters; while in provinces such as Guangdong, Fujian and other provinces with developed private economy, entrepreneurs fled with their money.

Zhou Ming knew that for rural areas with hidden news, and for rural people, they did not know the reason and only looked at the results, so it was natural to be afraid.

But Zhou Ming is different because he knows the future!

He knew that starting from the second quarter of 1990, the country had re-relaxed its policies and encouraged the development of private enterprises' private economy, which led to the next golden decade!

"Loan?" Zhou Zhenliang shook his head like a rattle when he heard it, "No, no, this is definitely not possible. What if he can't pay it back?"

Zhou Ming knew it was difficult to change his father's concept all at once. This was a problem of emancipating his mind, so he had to take it slowly. His eyes rolled and asked his father:

"Dad, why do you say I went to school for?"

"To make you promising!"

"Then what do you do if you have a promising future?"

"With a promising future, you can live a good life, and your mother and I will be relieved."

"How can you live well?"

"Just make money when you work!"

"How can I make money?"

"You can make money with a job!"

"Dad, it's true that you can make money with a job, but you can make money even when doing business." Zhou Ming was good at temptation.

Zhou Zhenliang ignored his style and glared at him. His father's majesty immediately hung on his face and said:

"I know this, but you must study hard and prosper. You will have to support your iron rice bowl and eat royal grain in the future! It is a shame to do business!"

Zhou Ming was amused when he heard this. "I am a job? Eat the imperial grain? Stop dreaming. When I graduate, I can't even find a job, and I will still have a job.

Of course, he had to dare to say this to him, so he had to continue his roundabout tactics and said:

"Dad, what if I can't find a job after graduation?"

"You kid is talking nonsense. Nowadays, college students are so popular. Even a technical secondary school student can enter a good unit and have a strong job. Why can't you find a job?"

"Dad, don't forget that it will take more than ten years to graduate. No one can tell what society is like at that time."

"Are you like that Guoliang? Don't you want to go to school anymore? I will break your legs if you don't want to go to school!" The old man was a little anxious, thinking that Zhou Ming didn't want to go to school anymore.

"Dad, it's not that I don't want to go to school. Not only do I have to go to school, but I also have to go to school. I promise to come back to the first place in the exam every year! Don't worry!"

Zhou Ming's previous life from elementary school to junior high school, he did take the first place in the grade every year, and the school waived his tuition and miscellaneous fees every year. This is not his big talk.

But later, due to various reasons, my studies were delayed. I repeated my studies in high school for two years. It was not until 2001 that I was admitted to a third-rate university in the provincial capital. This is a later story.

After hearing that his son promised to be the first in the exam every year, Zhou Zhenliang calmed down his expression. So he asked again: "Then why do you say you are doing business with me?"

"Dad, you have to take the exam in college, but you have to make money. It's easy to make money now. If you buy some goods, you will rush to buy it. If you buy and sell it, you will get money. Why don't we make money?"

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he saw the old man pondering and chasing him tightly: "We are going to make a loan to make a big deal and ensure that we can make money. We are not afraid of not being able to pay the loan. Since we can pay it back, why not get a loan? There is no interest anyway."

"Then tell me, what are we doing in loans?"

Zhou Ming was eager to liberate his father's mind at the risk of being beaten, and he was waiting for this sentence and immediately said: "Sell TV!"

"What did you say? Sell TV?! A TV is so expensive and the village is so poor. Who did you buy it and sell it to?" Zhou Zhenliang almost jumped out of the chair when he heard it. He thought his son was going to open a small shop or go to the market to sell some clothing. Who knew that his ten-year-old son said he would sell TV. This really scared him!

"Hehe, Dad, aren't you saving money to buy a TV for me and my sister? Many villagers have this idea, and they don't want to go to other people's homes to watch it. Besides, rural people like to compete. Once a family has it, other families want to buy it quickly, so the TV is guaranteed to be sold."

Zhou Zhenliang had nothing to say at that time. He knew that his son was talking about the truth. TV is not easy to buy, not easy to sell!

To put it bluntly, it is not that they don’t have the chance to become rich, but that they are not informed, have little courage, and cannot let go of their minds. They are afraid of wolves in front of them and tigers in the back. The opportunity slips away in vain, and they can only envy others’ wealth.

Seeing that his father was finally shaken, Zhou Ming quickly added fuel to the fire and said, "Dad, think about it now, you can only make more than ten yuan by buying and selling in two days. If you sell a TV, you can make hundreds of dollars. It's better than what you earn in two months. Where can you find such a good deal?"

Zhou Zhenliang was not confused. He knew that his son was right. At this time, he had not yet considered why his son was so good at speaking and so business-minded. His mind was completely attracted by what his son said, "A TV can make hundreds of dollars."

His eyes lit up! He asked Zhou Ming: "Then how much do you think we can borrow?"

"100,000!" Zhou Ming was afraid that his father would be scared, so he quickly added, "Dad, the cheapest black and white TV is 2,000 yuan, usually more than 3,000 yuan, and only 30 units are bought for 100,000 yuan, which is not too much."

To Zhou Ming's surprise, his father was not afraid this time. He only saw his father pondering for a while and said, "Okay, one hundred thousand is one hundred thousand!"

Be straightforward and unambiguous!

Zhou Ming sighed in his heart, twenty years apart from his father's life and death, but he still forgot his father's character!

His father has never been a timid person!
