Chapter 1037: Little Haizi Is Not Only Li Long's, It Is Also Our Team's

~10 min read 1,844 words

After the meal, Chen Hongjun still hadn't made a final decision.

Li Long could certainly understand. Not to mention at this time, even if you push it forward twenty or thirty years, it is very difficult to get someone who has worked in the system for ten or twenty years to suddenly quit a stable job and go to sea to start a business.

This still depends on personal circumstances. There are those who want a stable job to spend the rest of their lives, and there are those who want to fight to realize their personal value in the torrent.

If the ideas are different, the choices are naturally different.

After the meal, Li Long said goodbye to Chen Hongjun. He had finished his business and had to go back.

Chen Hongjun pushed his bicycle and walked slowly toward the unit, weighing the pros and cons on the way, thinking about how he should choose.

Li Long's words were very sincere. Chen Hongjun had the confidence that if he went to sea to open an acquisition station, he could really make money in a short time.

But making money is now, what about later? Later, without a stable job to support him, all kinds of benefits would definitely be gone, and his circle might not necessarily be able to be preserved.

Although the trend of going to sea to start a business and make money is becoming hotter, to be honest, those people in the system look down on those who are running around in the commercial field outside the circle.

Even if they earn much more than themselves, they are still at the bottom of the contempt chain in the circle within the system.

If he were still a hot-blooded teenager, he might have resigned immediately to go and break through.

But now that he is middle-aged, wanting to make a decision and make such a choice is really difficult.

When he arrived at the unit, it was not yet time to get off work. Most people hadn't arrived yet. Chen Hongjun parked his bike, locked it, and entered the office, habitually pouring tea and spreading out the newspaper, and was stunned for a moment.

Day after day, this is the life. Is he willing?

Looking at the newspaper in front of him, Chen Hongjun stared at a point for a long time without moving. He couldn't remember the content. In his mind, he was thinking about the trivial but fulfilling life in the Maxian acquisition station.

"Old Chen, you're here early? Do you know that recently another person in our unit has taken unpaid leave to go to sea to start a business? It is said that he joined some company to be a deputy manager and work for others. You say, why don't you be a good national cadre and go to work for others... even if you earn a few hundred yuan more a month than us, that money is not secure, right?"

A colleague came over to chat about gossip. Chen Hongjun laughed it off, and suddenly realized that quite a few people had left the unit or taken unpaid leave to go out and start a business to make money during this period.

In the eyes of these colleagues who stayed, those colleagues who resigned lived in a hurry, which is not as comfortable as the unit.

But in Chen Hongjun's eyes, those people should be enjoying themselves, right?

After this colleague left, someone else came over. This time it was a staff member who had followed him in the Maxian acquisition station.

"Old Chen, you say we stay in the office every day, there is no work, the money is small, there is no bonus, this day after day feels like it can bore people to death."

"Then what do you want to do?" Chen Hongjun's heart moved, and he asked, "You can't learn from those few who take unpaid leave, right?"

"I want to, but I don't dare. I haven't worked outside, and I don't even know what to do." The colleague was also full of panic, "Before in the county, although I couldn't go home often, if I did well, there was a bonus, and the money I took home was more, and the person at home didn't have any opinions.

Now, although I am at the door of the house and can go home on time, the money I take back is less, the family expenses are suddenly tight, the wife complains, and the family life is not as good as before... sigh, you say why must the acquisition station be withdrawn? It was so good before!"

Chen Hongjun actually faces a similar situation. If it weren't for the useful information he provided to Li Long, and Li Long paid him sufficient information fees, his current life would also be a mess.

"Then if I go out to open an acquisition station again, do you think I can make money?" By some strange coincidence, Chen Hongjun asked with a smile.

"Really open? That must make money!" The colleague thought Chen Hongjun was joking and said with a smile, "Think about it, everything is rising in price now, and what we collected before must have risen in price too.

But the price of things collected from peddlers and original owners won't be that high. Buy low and sell high, this back and forth, isn't the money coming? Before, we worked for the public, and the money earned was the public's. Now, if we want to do it ourselves, isn't the money earned our own?"

Saying this, he shook his head again:

"But it's also difficult. Before, there was the public to support us. No matter what we collected, the public had money to support us. Now, where can we get so much money as working capital? This stuff, if you don't have ten thousand yuan at the beginning, you can't play at all..."

Ordinary families simply can't do this. Those who have money to do this, if they could do it, they would have done it long ago—some people's vision is different because of their position, and the way to make money, especially the way to make big money, they have already started to walk.

Especially in this era of poor information, as long as there is a way to make money, the relevant personnel have already taken the lead.

Basically, it will not be left to ordinary people with closed information.

For example, the taxi license issue in the 1990s and the first ten years of the new century, the relevant units released them in batches. This stuff was very cheap when it was first released, but the market was hard to find a license.

The relevant units released this stuff and would not publicize it at all. Those who know know, and those who don't know have nowhere to know.

Then take a license for fifty thousand yuan, and sell it for three hundred and fifty thousand yuan. How fast this money comes!

That is to say, another thirty or forty years later, network information dissemination accelerated, but it also brought negative effects. Rumors will also spread on the network, and the truth of information is difficult to distinguish. This stuff tests the eye.

Chen Hongjun didn't answer. He didn't have this trouble. Li Long said that if he opened an acquisition station, he would lend him the start-up capital. Chen Hongjun believed in Li Long's character on this point.

But Li Long said that it is best not to bring the original colleagues, because the original colleagues are colleagues, even if they are superiors and subordinates, because "Are kings and nobles born with high status?", it is unlikely that colleagues and himself will adapt to the relationship between leaders and employees.

It is very likely that before making money, the relationship with colleagues will break down.

Chen Hongjun cherishes old feelings, otherwise it would be impossible to introduce his contacts to Li Long when he was preparing to leave Maxian.

So after thinking about it, he still said to his colleague:

"If I open an acquisition station, how about you come over to work for me? I'll pay you one hundred yuan a month."

"That won't work, Old Chen, you are not kind enough. If you want to open an acquisition station, then I must be a partner!" The colleague said with a smile, "Although I can't take out money, I have work in my hands. How to say joining your acquisition station, you must also give me two or three percent of the dry shares, right? We have also gone through hardships together, right?"

Chen Hongjun smiled and said:

"That's it, if you join the acquisition station, then I will definitely give you dry shares."

This matter had no follow-up.

Sure enough, when people are used to being cadres, no one is used to living under others. The tradition left by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, plus the equality for all after liberation, and being used to being masters in the unit, they will not be used to being employees.

It seems that Xiao Li's suggestion is really pertinent. If he wants to do it, it is best to directly recruit those diligent young people who are doing odd jobs in the city, or honest young people from the countryside who are working in the city.

Unknowingly, Chen Hongjun has already substituted himself into the role of an acquisition station boss.

Obviously, he is really moved by what Li Long said.

In the next few days, Chen Hongjun began to wander around Beiting City, wanting to find a courtyard suitable for an acquisition station.

To be an acquisition station, you must have a large courtyard, many warehouses, and be in a place where communication is convenient.

Turning around, he found the place where Li Long intercepted others selling fritillaria.

This is the courtyard of the old acquisition station. Because the boss had an accident, the acquisition station finally closed, and the courtyard has not been rented out yet—after all, doing business in this era pays attention to good luck. The original courtyard had such a big thing, and there are other suitable venues elsewhere, so why choose here?

So this courtyard was left empty.

It is a courtyard of a public unit itself, and no one cares if it cannot be rented out. Chen Hongjun inquired from the side that the courtyard is rented for eight hundred yuan a year, which is really not much.

Then there is the price of various things recently. After inquiring, Chen Hongjun found that it was indeed as Li Long said, everything has risen in price. If you want to collect goods on the spot and resell them, the profit may not be as thick as you thought.

But as long as the frame is set up, he believes that the flow of people will be attracted slowly—because this time inquiring, he also knows how the original acquisition station collapsed. ===== CHAPTER 1038 =====
