Film and TV: Obtain Alpha Dog at the beginning

The crucian carp was not made into rock sugar crucian carp soup in the end. Qin Hao went to the vegetable market and bought two pieces of tofu and made a crucian carp tofu soup. The three of them ate it together and left a mouthful of fragrance.

"Ah Hao, you can do it. Why didn't we know that you were such a good cook before?" Tao Tao patted her belly and was still not satisfied.

Abao was convinced: "That's right, to be honest, are you hiding it on purpose because you're afraid that we'll come here every day to eat?"

Qin Hao laughed and scolded: "The way you eat, if you really come here to eat every day, my monthly salary won't be enough."

"Look, I'll just say he picked it."

"That's right, it's really scratchy."

The three of them were used to making noises. Qin Hao was packing up the dishes and going to wash the dishes in the sink outside. A Bao also followed him and teased.

"Hey, to be honest, you usually save money when you can, and you haven't even found a girlfriend. Where did you spend your money?"

This is true. The original owner is indeed a relatively frugal person and saves most of his salary every month. However, wages were generally low in the 1980s. The average worker only earned more than thirty yuan a month. Qin Hao and A Bao is considered a skilled worker, but he only earns fifty-two yuan a month.

After six years, the original owner only had a total deposit of 3,200 yuan.

Of course, this was definitely a huge sum of money in the 1980s, but Qin Hao knew that they were about to face an era of economic boom, and this amount of money was far from enough as a start-up capital.

After washing the dishes, the three of them listened to the radio and chatted in the attic of Qin Hao's house.

Besides women, what young people like to talk about most when they are together is the future.

Tao Tao said enthusiastically: "Hey, I heard from our director that the aquatic products company will soon start contracting to households. Then I will contract a stall. If you want to eat fish, you can come and get it at any time."

Abao joked: "You just take it casually. Do you think it's like the current water plant company? Contracting is business, and purchasing requires capital. Be careful that we will be ruined by then."

"Do you think I'm stupid? I won't earn back what you eat from others. Besides, if you eat my fish, I will charge you money. Am I, Tao Tao, the kind of person who has no sense of style?"

Qin Hao watched the two bickering and asked a question: "Don't make it sound like contracting is like picking up money. If nothing else, do you have the money to purchase the goods? Is there a market for it?"

When Qin Hao said this, Tao Tao was stunned on the spot and scratched the back of his head: "I have saved a few hundred yuan, which should be enough to purchase goods, right? In terms of sales, the business stalls of the aquatic products company are good, so they should not worry about sales, right? "

"A few hundred yuan is only enough for you to buy some carp, grass carp, etc., such as lobster, abalone, etc., it's just a hundred yuan, how can your little money be enough? Besides sales, yes, selling carp and the like, usually those maids That's enough, but how much money can you make from one of these fish? It's different with lobsters and abalones. Selling one fish can equal the profit of selling ten fish. But ordinary people can't afford these seafoods, so you have to find those restaurants to cooperate with them. That’s all.”

After Qin Hao finished speaking, Tao Tao and Abao looked at him with surprised eyes.

"Doing business is different from hanging around in the aquatic products company. You have to be responsible for your own profits and losses. If you take such a big risk and don't make more money, then you might as well continue to stay in the aquatic products company. At least the harvest will be guaranteed during droughts and floods, and there will be an establishment." Qin Hao ignored the two men's gazes and continued.

After hearing this, Tao Tao went straight to bed: "According to what you say, I can only accept my fate and continue to work in the aquatic products company until retirement?"

"That's not the case. I can lend you the purchase cost, but you have to pay it back to me before the end of the year. As for sales, it's actually very simple. Go talk to those private restaurants. Public restaurants usually purchase goods directly from aquatic products companies. You I can't get involved. There are many private restaurants on the Yellow River Road. They can't buy directly from the aquatic products company, so they have to get it from middlemen like you. They can make less money, but they pay with one hand and deliver the goods with one hand. This is the bottom line. Go ahead and negotiate for this, and if you can negotiate with one or two companies, it will be enough for you to set up your business."

Tao Tao and Ah Bao looked at each other: "Is this still the Ah Hao we know?"

"Yes, Hao, where did you learn all this?"

Qin Hao pointed to the bookshelf and said calmly: "There is a golden house in the book."

Regarding this, Abao and Tao Tao had no doubts. The original owner did like reading books before, and maybe he really learned something from the books. He was usually quiet, but he came in handy at critical moments.

"I have saved a total of 3,200 yuan. I will withdraw 3,000 yuan to you later. I agreed in advance that it must be paid back to me before the end of the year. I will use this money next year." Qin Hao took out a biscuit from the bottom of the wooden box under the bed. Box, the original owner's valuable things were placed in it.

"Dear me, you kid saved so much money without saying a word." Abao looked at the bankbook in Qin Hao's hand with a dull look on his face.

Qin Hao joked: "Our salaries are about the same. If you hadn't taken that girl named Xuezhi to eat hot pot all day long, you could still have saved."

When Xuezhi was mentioned, Abao lowered his head angrily and complained: "You pick up the pot that doesn't open."

Xuezhi was Abao's first girlfriend. The two met in 1978. Xuezhi was a conductor on the No. 13 bus at that time. Abao obviously had a bicycle, but insisted on taking the bus. Later, the two of them were about to talk about marriage. As a result, Xuezhi's relatives in Hong Kong came back.

Perhaps due to the influence of her relatives in Hong Kong, or because Xuezhi lost hope in seeing the end of life in the mainland at a glance, she finally decided to abandon A Bao and marry in Xiangjiang.

This has become a lifelong regret for Abao.

"After a fall, you only healed the skin wounds, but the bones were still broken. What's the use? Everyone is already married, and you still plan to remain unmarried for the rest of your life to commemorate your love that died young? Or do you want to wait for a divorce? Are you going to take over the deal again? Can you be a bit promising?"

Tao Tao kept tugging on Qin Hao's sleeves: "Oh, don't talk about it anymore. It's not like you don't know that Abao is very emotional."

"What's so important about feelings? This is just a good person, you know. Do you know what this kind of behavior is called?"

"Lick the dog."

"What dog?"

"Have you ever had a dog? How would you feel if your face was licked by a dog?"

"Dirty, go wash your face."

"Then it's over. In the eyes of some women, a man who blindly gives is like a licking dog. No matter how you try your best to please, she will think you are an annoying licking dog. You think you are so affectionate , which seemed disgusting to her.”

Qin Hao was even more angry when he saw Abao's decadent look.

"Do you know what kind of man is considered a man in Xuezhi's eyes?"

Abao replied dully: "What kind of man?"

"A man who has a successful career and can make her look up to him. Do you think she will be moved by taking the bus every day and borrowing books for her? What she wants is someone who can take her to overlook the world. As bad as you are now, Believe it or not, even if she is divorced, she will not consider you like this."

"Women are unreliable! The most practical thing is to make money. Once you have money, you pick others, not you."

This point resonated with Tao Tao: "Yes, take the former Xiao Liu of our aquatic products company as an example. He used to be a little follower under the director in our unit. He was so tail-wagging when he saw the leader. He resigned last year and went to work. Now he looks like a bitch, and he even has a female secretary, so he looks very arrogant."

Facing Qin Hao and Tao Tao's persuasion, Abao just smiled and shook his head. In his opinion, Xuezhi was not the kind of person Qin Hao said, and he did not want to believe that Xuezhi was that kind of person.

Qin Hao saw this and did not try to persuade him again. You can wake up a sleeping person, but you cannot wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. He has to figure out many things by himself.

A week later, the aquatic product company posted a formal announcement that it would contract the stall on Couling Road.

However, most employees just wait and see what the aquatic product company is doing. In their view, this is clearly a disguised layoff of the aquatic product company. The contracted stalls will become self-employed, and the staff will be gone. In the future, they will have to bear the responsibility for their own profits and losses. How can there be any If we take our wages honestly, we can ensure good harvests despite droughts and floods.

As a result, Tao Tao, a group of people who were bold and dared to change the status quo, seized the opportunity. This was also a microcosm of the 1980s. As long as they dared, they could make a fortune even selling tea eggs.

On the day Taotao Aquatic Products Store opened, Qin Hao and Abao specially took time off to help. There was no such thing as an opening ceremony these days. They hung up firecrackers and set them off, which was considered open.

Not to mention, the business of the aquatic product store is still good. It starts to get busy early in the morning. Tao Tao is responsible for recruiting customers and collecting money, Qin Hao is responsible for killing fish, and Abao is responsible for fishing.

The store next door is opened by an old couple, and their daughter also helps in the store. The girl's name is Fangmei. She looks young, but she is still very quick at work.

This couple is not from a fishery company. They were able to rent this shop because they broke up and spent money.

The area of ​​the two shops is almost the same, and the goods are not much different. Naturally, competition is inevitable. On the first day of opening, both want to win the jackpot. The two sides almost come to blows, and the feud is considered settled.

During lunch, Tao Tao was still aggrieved: "I sell good hairy crabs for three yuan a pound, and I'm not afraid of losing money to him. How can he do this kind of business!"

"This is how business is done. Defeat competitors, gain pricing power, and earn back the money you lose now. It all depends on who can't bear it first."

Qin Hao shook his head for a while. Tao Tao obviously had not yet realized the cruelty of the mall.

"Ah? Then should we sell it at a loss?" Tao Tao asked nervously.

"There is no need to lose money. Anyway, we didn't expect to make much money from the business here at the beginning. We just need to protect the capital and maintain the popularity. During the noon period, we will go to the Huanghe Road market after dinner to strive for more development. I also asked several restaurants and the hotel on Nanjing Road, they should also have demand for seafood."

As soon as Qin Hao finished speaking, Tao Tao sighed: "Isn't it right? We went to the aquatic products company at five o'clock in the morning to purchase goods. Finally, there were not many people at noon. We are going to rest for a while, but we still have to go out?"

"If you want to make money in business, you either have to make money that others can't make, and no one will compete with you. No matter what you do, you will make money. Unfortunately, we don't have that channel, or you can only make money that others are not willing to make. ."

"Hard work must be hard work. I told you back then, if you can't bear the hardship, don't engage in contracting. If you really don't want to do it, then return the money you lent me. A Bao and I also Enjoy your leisure time."

Hearing this, Tao Tao immediately flattered him: "No, no, Ah Hao, Brother Hao, I was wrong. I'm going. It's not okay to go."

So, after eating, Bao was left watching at the stall while Qin Hao took Tao Tao to Yellow River Road.

At this time, Huanghe Road was far less prosperous than ten years later. Most of the shops and restaurants on both sides of the street were state-owned, and the largest and most luxurious one was Red Heron.

Looking at Honglu's graceful waitresses, Tao Tao's eyes widened.

"Look again and your eyes will drop." Qin Hao patted his shoulder angrily.

Tao Tao was excited and said, "So this is the Yellow River Road. It's pretty good. It's pretty good."

"Let's go, Red Heron is a state-owned unit. Even if you stay here for ten years, I won't ask you for a crab."

Qin Hao grabbed Tao Tao and walked inside without any nonsense. At this time, state-owned enterprises were still the mainstream, and the best locations were reserved for state-owned enterprises. Private restaurants could only rent shops in the innermost part of Huanghe Road.

"Let's start with this one."

Tao Tao followed the direction of Qin Hao's finger and entered a restaurant called Ri Ri Xian.

"Two bosses, please come in. What would you like to eat?"

The waitress is very young, she looks about sixteen or seventeen years old, but she is articulate and must be an old employee who has been working for a while.

"Do you have any seafood here?"

"Yes, our daily specialty is seafood, including lobster, abalone, scallops and squid." The waitress immediately became energetic when she heard the two people asking about seafood.

Qin Hao pretended to be suspicious and asked, "Is your seafood fresh? My friend is very picky. He won't touch stale seafood."

“Absolutely fresh.”

"It's not true, why don't we go to the kitchen and have a look."

"Okay, the kitchen is taking a break now."

The waitress walked in front, and Tao Tao secretly gave Qin Hao a thumbs up.

After arriving in the kitchen, Tao Tao began to pick on the seafood, which was bad and that was not good. Soon the chef was annoyed, and the two sides started to quarrel on the spot.

The movement in the kitchen quickly attracted the proprietress.

"Don't be angry, two bosses. This is not the place to talk. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it in the box. I'll toast you both with a toast later as an apology."

Tao Tao didn't know if he had completely assumed the role of a diner, or if he had lost himself in the name of the boss, and seemed to have forgotten that he was here to sell seafood and not to eat.

But when it came to ordering food soon, Tao Tao became timid when he saw the menu. Any dish on it would cost hundreds of yuan, which was enough to cover his previous three months' salary.

"You two, you're not actually here for dinner, are you?"

The boss lady's words made Tao Tao's heart skip a beat.

Qin Hao was a little curious: "Oh? What did the boss lady say?"

"Such a strong fishy smell can't stick to you two in such a short time in the kitchen."

Tao Tao felt a fever on his face. It was so embarrassing to be exposed on the spot.

Qin Hao, however, always smiled and clapped his hands unhurriedly: "As expected of a big business boss, I can't hide anything from you."

The proprietress folded her hands in front of her chest and said in a bad tone: "Actually, if you want to supply our daily fresh food, just come to me and talk directly. There is no need to make such a fuss in the back kitchen. If word spreads, maybe you will really think that What's wrong with my daily fresh seafood?" (End of Chapter)
