Go back to 1990 to start a business

Chapter 166 Grandpa-in-law invites you to tea

The history of Chinese celebrating Christmas can be traced back 100 years.

But it was really accepted by people across the country starting in the 90s, due to the joint hype of merchants.

The social status quo at that time was that after more than half a year of "governance and rectification", the national economy quickly cooled down from the overheating state of the previous two years, and the CPI quickly dropped below the warning line.

Now that the violent inflation has stopped, people have begun to hold on to their money and be reluctant to buy.

The Chinese habit is to save money and do not like to spend in advance or borrow money for consumption.Therefore, bank deposits surged, the consumer goods market and material circulation market were depressed, and the economy suffered a downturn.

A new term was born: market weakness.

A saying was born: once it is controlled, it will die, and once it is released, it will be chaos.

This is caused by the imperfection of the market economy and is not the fault of the market economy.

However, people at the time didn’t think so…

(Delete a paragraph if the review fails)

...The network of people who were busy getting rich has wavered. Private enterprises suddenly decreased by 50% in less than a year. In 1990, the number of individual industrial and commercial households dropped sharply by 360 million.

Foreign-funded enterprises also hesitated, those who had not come in stopped, and those who had come in began to prepare to withdraw from China.

People are anxious and ordinary people are waiting and watching. Will the government still let us get rich?

In this predicament, businesses began to hype up Christmas. Every store decorated Christmas trees and Santa Claus, which seemed very novel to Chinese people, especially young people, who found reasons to spend.

Sure enough, it stimulates consumption.

In fact, the country is also stimulating consumption, but it is just a case of indiscriminate medical treatment for emergencies, and Avon is included.

In 90, Magnesium Avon officially landed in China, which was the first recognized MLM company.

At that time, there was still a shortage of high-end cosmetics in the mainland. Avon quickly occupied the mainland market with its novel MLM model. The trend-setting 'Miss Avon' also became synonymous with modernity.

Not long after, Amway and Sunrider also entered China and became the three major foreign brands alongside Avon.

More importantly, the MLM model became popular in mainland China and gradually evolved into a bizarre chaos, causing countless human tragedies.

Finally, the government had to correct this mistake in 98 and no longer allowed any form of MLM operations.

In fact, there is another reason for the weak economy.

Triangle debt.

If there is a symbol of the early 90s, there may be many, but the triangle debt is undoubtedly the most representative.

Due to the downturn in the overall economic environment, the phenomenon of enterprises and units arrears with each other's payment is very serious. You owe me, I owe you, but they are delayed in paying back. The total amount exceeds 1000 billion and continues to rise.By 3000, it had reached [-] billion.

This greatly hinders the normal operation of production, damages the social credibility of enterprises, and disrupts economic order.

……

Xia Chuan finally finished all his consulting work on Christmas Day.

But here comes a big shot.

As if he accurately predicted the end of Xia Chuan's work, the old man suddenly arrived with a group of people without any notice at all, and was accompanied by local bosses.

Xia Chuan was lying on the bed and returning to sleep. This was a vacation for him.

Jinfeng is watching the TV sketch "Blind Date".

This was a skit in the 90 Spring Festival Gala, and Uncle Benshan became famous overnight.

But Xuemei Jiang is like a robot, working non-stop. She is directing employees downstairs to disassemble and pack computers and prepare for relocation.

Suddenly Pan Jun ran in from outside the door and said in a panic: "Manager, Yue Qifeng is here!"

Xuemei Jiang stumbles, can she die if she makes an appointment in advance?

If the big boss outside knew what she was feeling, he would burst into tears.

Immediately after, the door was pushed open by Jiang Jiachen and He Yu, and then they stood in silence with no intention of questioning or intercepting them.

Jiang Yuhua's mouth twitched. She suspected that these two people would rebel at the critical moment.

Pan Jun is still reliable.

An old man wearing thick-rimmed glasses and a glowing face walked in with great strides.

Those who followed him were all stomping their feet and making the whole province tremble.

Jiang Yuhua stepped forward with a smile and stretched out his hand calmly: "Welcome the leader to inspect. I am the manager Jiang Yuhua."

She respected the old man from the bottom of her heart, because Xia Chuan had evaluated this man, saying that he was a true proletarian revolutionary of the older generation, with strong character, uprightness and noble conduct.

But this does not mean that Jiang Yuhua will flatter and please.

Yue Qifeng's thick eyebrows twitched, and he was surprised. Is she too calm, or am I too young?

He shook hands seriously and said with a smile: "I went to Anton to check the work, and I decided to come over to see Xia Chuan. I also know your name. My secretary called and was scolded by you."

The male secretary behind him smiled and nodded as a greeting.

Jiang Yuhua said with a smile: "I'm just telling the truth, I really don't have time. Fortunately, the consulting work here has officially ended today. Xia Chuan is resting upstairs. Can the leader please come upstairs to talk?"

There was no intention of letting Xia Chuan come down, and no one went up to report it.

The people behind were so nervous that their teeth ached.

Yue Qifeng smiled nonchalantly and said, "Then I'll go up and let all of you do whatever you're supposed to do, and don't follow. It may take a long time."

The people behind all looked at each other in confusion, whether they wanted to leave or not.

Yue Qifeng strode upstairs.

Jiang Yuhua immediately rushed people away: "Everyone, please go back. We are preparing to move and we will not accept you."

Everyone was a little stunned.

you are vicious.

This is an excuse to avoid the awkward wait.

As a result, everyone except the guard, driver and secretary left.

……

Jinfeng was sitting on the sofa watching TV, fascinated, when she suddenly saw an old man coming upstairs, she immediately screamed:

"Who asked you to come up? My brother has a day off today!"

Yue Qifeng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what you say."

Xia Chuan, who was just sleeping lightly on the bed, happened to turn over and look over. He was stunned for a moment, then sat up, put on his shoes and said with a smile:

"It turns out that Uncle Yue has come to visit us, but we are a little disappointed. Please sit down quickly and Xiaofeng will serve you tea."

Yue Qifeng glanced around, sat down and said with a smile: "You are not a good waiter. You wanted to kick me out when you first came here."

"Yes, Jiang Yuhua spoiled her." Xia Chuan turned off the TV and walked to the sofa to sit down.

Jinfeng brought the tray over and gave Yue Qifeng a cup first. He pretended not to have heard the comment just now and said with a crisp smile: "Grandpa Yue, please have tea."

Yue Qifeng was suddenly surprised. This child is not simple.

Xia Chuan said with a smile: "Bamboo does not change its knot when burned, and jade does not turn white when broken. This is due to its true nature. Although Jinfeng has not been to school for a day, he reassures me more than a person who has learned a lot and is more worthy of training."

Yue Qifeng trembled, "Are you the successor?"

Jin Feng was proud in her heart, but she didn't show it on the outside at all, sitting beside Xia Chuan in a gentle manner.
