Chapter 2151
The First Step to Becoming a Big Shot
Hard!
This is the current situation in Yiwu that Chen Jianghe described to He Yuzhu.
Qiu Yingjie and some other leaders were thinking about supporting small business owners.
But there is another type of leader in the area who views the private sector as an enemy.
On one hand, there is support and encouragement; on the other hand, there is a policy of eliminating any potential threats.
This is also a source of confusion for people like Chen Jianghe.
Don't let his tattered clothes fool you, he's actually a rich man.
According to Chen Jianghe, he is a well-known businessman in the area.
I've done a lot of wholesale and retail business, sometimes involving tens of thousands of dollars.
It's important to understand that this isn't a business-to-business sale.
Instead, it is a spontaneous business run by the private sector.
He Yuzhu held the letter Qiu Yingjie had written to him, read it through, and confirmed the other party's identity.
This prompted Chen Jianghe to give a few examples.
This kid actually named a few.
Besides boiling sugar to exchange for duck feathers, they also took scraps of cloth from the textile factory and had the whole village process them into mops, which were then sold wholesale and retail.
This business, though small, was the beginning of the private economy.
He Yuzhu listened with great interest.
As Chen Jianghe stared intently at He Yuzhu with his small eyes, hoping to find an answer from him.
He Yuzhu pondered for a moment and said, "Personally, I think you haven't gone down the wrong path."
From a situation where the collective economy was dominated by one entity, to a situation where a hundred different sectors flourished.
There will inevitably be twists and turns along the way.
Just like the textile factory you mentioned, those scraps of cloth are treated as waste in their factory.
But in your hands, you can turn waste into treasure.
It generates significant economic value for society.
As for duck feathers and down, in rural areas, those things can only be used for composting.
But after you sort them, they can be sent to Shanghai for export and earn foreign exchange.
This is indeed an effective supplement to the collective economy.
····
I discussed this with Comrade Qiu Yingjie, and we told them to stay steadfast. The road ahead will definitely become wider and smoother.
Comrade Chen Jianghe, I would also like to say the same thing to you.
I still stand by my belief that the future will surely be a time of diverse development and flourishing opportunities.
It is clear that textile factories are not an isolated case.
Many collective factories suffer from rigid management practices.
It's no longer suitable to continue operating.
But even a centipede, though dead, does not stiffen.
The decline of some factories is always a gradual process.
Those factories are still managing to hold on now; it's only when they can't hold on anymore that it will be time for you private enterprises to take their place...
By the way, Comrade Chen Jianghe, I wonder how I can help you.
If you're looking for a better environment to develop your career, I can recommend a place further south.
The reform and opening up is underway there, and the environment for the private economy is more fertile than in Yiwu.
He Yuzhu said a lot; he can now be considered a semi-theorist.
When it comes to official jargon, they can speak fluently and eloquently, and their words are always meaningful.
It's not about offering empty words of comfort.
Encouragement, guidance, comfort, and support to help the other person persevere...
From their casual conversation, He Yuzhu could tell that the young man opposite him was someone with independent thinking.
He Yuzhu felt a fondness for talent and subconsciously thought of offering some help.
He even felt that this person was more capable than the chubby boy he had been supporting in terms of business management.
If the other party was willing, He Yuzhu could also send him to a small town in the south and help him set up a factory. Unexpectedly, Chen Jianghe thought about it for a while, stood up, bowed to He Yuzhu, and thanked him.
Thank you, thank you...
Director Qiu said you are a very capable person.
"Those things I couldn't understand suddenly became clear after I talked to you." It was clear that this young man's gratitude towards He Yuzhu was genuine.
Even the little bugs behind He Yuzhu stared at him with adoring eyes.
She didn't understand what He Yuzhu had just said.
But he could see that the small-eyed man opposite him seemed to have found the answer, and his whole body was clear. He was no longer as hesitant as before.
In the little girl's mind, He Yuzhu was really amazing.
These days, there are many people like Chen Jianghe who have felt the arrival of spring earlier than many others.
However, the repeated cold snaps in spring caused them great suffering.
Many people have a good start.
However, it was the fog of current events and the uncertain future that led them to choose to give up.
"...I still want to go back to Yiwu, there are people waiting for me there."
"Thank you for your kindness, Principal He." The young man paused for a moment, then blushed and stammered to He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu thought for a moment, took out his key from his pocket, and whispered a few words of advice to Xiao Xiaochong.
The little insect scurried away.
When she returned, she was holding several pieces of paper and an envelope specifically for the School of CNC Machining.
He Yuzhu took out his fountain pen and began to write in a flourish.
It took He Yuzhu quite a while to finish writing the two letters.
He glanced at it again before folding the letter, stuffing it into the envelope, and saying, "Here's what I'll do: I've written a letter to Comrade Qiu Yingjie, asking him to provide you with any assistance he can."
There is another letter, which is a letter of introduction I wrote to you on behalf of my company.
You can take this letter and go to Guangcheng and the small southern town to take a look.
Those factories built by Hong Kong businessmen over there can all be visited if they have this letter.
I've marked a few more phone numbers.
If you encounter any investment problems in the future, you can call for help.
Wait a moment, I'll take you to see...
You should take a shower and change your clothes first. I'll take you to meet someone tomorrow.
This should be helpful in solving the practical problems you are facing.
He Yuzhu frowned as he said this, and changed his mind.
He really couldn't take Chen Jianghe out in this state.
Objectively speaking, this is why many capable people want to succeed in the workplace.
He Yuzhu's salary is indeed not high, and it may not even be as much as the Yan family's eldest son and his wife earn from their street stall.
But the resources he possesses are unmatched by those others.
Putting everything else aside, just look at the two letters of introduction he has, and the phone numbers on them.
Once the private sector is fully liberalized, it might fetch an astronomical price.
That's not just a few lines of text.
Instead, He Yuzhu lent the resources he had to this young man.
Of course, He Yuzhu wasn't stupid; he wouldn't believe Chen Jianghe just because he said a few things offhand.
But the great waves will sift out the gold!
Faced with this unprecedented change, He Yuzhu is willing to try more things.
He was simply providing opportunities for these ambitious young people.
Whether they can handle it or not is a matter of their ability.
He Yuzhu arranged a guesthouse for Chen Jianghe and even paid out of his own pocket to buy him a slightly more formal outfit.
Then the next day, he was taken to Su Manyun's place. (End of Chapter)
