Chapter 249 Good people are rewarded

"Have they not considered that cotton and cloth are now subject to unified purchase and sale?"

Wang Deming asked this question directly.

"But they can also buy it from the Cotton Cloth Company under the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and then entrust it to a tailor. And the most important thing is that they also know that the imported goods from Hong Kong will not last long, and they can't beat the strong. So they will earn as much as possible, and every extra cent they can earn is a penny they can earn." Yin Changrong had a wry smile on his face when he said this.

He also didn't understand why these people valued money so much. They had finally survived the precarious days before liberation, when their families and businesses were ruined. Now they could eat and drink enough and live in peace. What else could they not be satisfied with?

"."Wang Deming originally thought that the business owners in Wangfujing did not agree to the public-private partnership because they wanted to resist the policy, but he did not expect that the reason was so simple: money.

How can this be broken? This is one of the most primitive desires, right?
Or maybe it can be said that having this kind of thinking is the real capitalist thinking.

After all, Yin Changrong was born in a poor family. He started as a tailor apprentice and worked hard day and night for six years, serving tea and water, and taking care of excrement and urine for his master's family. Finally, he learned the skill of making women's clothing.

He opened the clothing store with the money he saved from making expensive clothes for wealthy families in Beijing after becoming famous for his craft.

Because he himself had suffered, he never treated his apprentices unfairly, so his apprentices were willing to work with him after they graduated.
"I have always told them that this is a new China, and the people are the masters of the country. Capitalists are exploiters, and it is enough to have enough money. Even if it is to accumulate virtue for yourself and your descendants, you can't continue. But few people listen."

Yin Changrong looked very lonely. Although he was the president of the Beijing Garment Association, many people did not understand his actions.

Faced with this situation, Wang Deming actually didn't have any good ideas. According to the news he had seen in his previous life and the explanations flying all over the Internet, there are only two ways to make capitalists bow their heads: tempting them with benefits or forcing them with power.

So he said tentatively: "I have two pieces of gossip here, do you want to listen to them?"

"Oh? What news? Tell me quickly!" Yin Changrong immediately got rid of his loneliness and perked up.

Wang Deming didn't say anything right away. He winked at Yin Jiayou, signaling him to go outside to see if anyone was eavesdropping. After all, a few tailors from Shanghai had just moved into the yard. He was also worried that Yin Jiayou might not keep his mouth shut.

But Yin Jiayou didn't understand and asked stupidly, "What?"

Yin Changrong was so angry. How could he raise such a stupid son? He had no sense at all? Fortunately, the daughter-in-law he asked someone to introduce was good and smart. He gritted his teeth, waved his palm as if to shoo away flies, and said with a look of regret: "I asked you to go outside and see if anyone is eavesdropping."

"Hey, Deming, just tell me straight." Yin Jiayou stood up, walked outside, came back and sat down again, "There's no one in the yard."

"Go stay by the door!" Yin Changrong stood up angrily with his arms raised high.

"Speak softly, how can others hear me?" Yin Jiayou muttered as he got up reluctantly and went for a walk in the yard.

Wang Deming moved his seat and sat next to Yin Changrong, whispering in his ear, "First, the currency reform will be carried out next year, and old currency will be recalled and banned from circulation. The current currency denomination is too large. Do you think people who hide money at home will be worried?"

Yin Changrong was shocked and asked quickly, "Deming, is the news true?"

"You also know that I have a good relationship with Soviet comrades. Now the government departments are all helped and guided by Soviet comrades." Wang Deming's words were very implicit. In fact, since the liberation, the setting of our government departments has been learning from the Soviet big brother.

The Soviet big brother also arranged many professionals to be placed in various departments to provide work guidance.

There is a special term called: comprehensive Sovietization.

Yin Changrong frowned and digested it for a while. Wang Deming guessed that he had a lot of money hidden in his home, not only old banknotes, but also foreign currencies such as gold rubles. He made a lot of mink coats for Soviet comrades.

By the way, he had two apprentices who were specially invited by Soviet comrades to Lushun in the northeast to make clothes.

"Now many people are looking for Liu Yuchen and Ge Maozhai, and they are ready to bring their money to Hong Kong and exchange it for US dollars through them."

"Ah, is this okay?"

"Twenty percent of the commission." Wang Deming paused and continued, "We will go to Hong Kong together after National Day. I have acquaintances there who can help me exchange money. Uncle Chang Rong, if you have any business friends who support public-private partnerships, I can also help you."

Yin Changrong's eyes instantly moistened, and he tightly grasped Wang Deming's hand, his voice trembling: "Deming!"

They are said to be two rumors, but in fact there is only one core: some people are afraid of becoming a target.

Haven’t you seen that Cha Kuiyuan and Zhang Shouchong’s families were reported for their extravagant lifestyles and were criticized in newspapers just because they spent 2000 yuan a month on living expenses?
So they have only one way to get out of this trap, which is to exchange money in Hong Kong and continue hiding it, but how can small and medium-sized businessmen have such a way? What should they do if the money they have saved with great difficulty is defrauded?
Therefore, they were forced to accept Yin Changrong's suggestion and agree to public-private partnership.

Of course, Wang Deming did not lose out either, as he made some money for himself to spend, a 20% commission, which was a handy thing.

After leaving Yin Changrong's house, Wang Deming thought for a while and went to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

My brother-in-law and his family will be moving out soon. The house here has been uninhabited for a long time, so we have to clean it up again, rebuild the kang, and dig out all the things that were buried.

The capital city has changed a lot. For example, the memorial archways on Dongsi, Xisi and Jingshan have all been demolished. In order to welcome the National Day, Chang'an Avenue was renovated, and the two white pagodas of the White Pagoda Temple on west Chang'an Avenue were also demolished.

But Nanluoguxiang remains the same, with the same loess roads, gray walls and green tiles, and mottled courtyard gates, and it seems even more shabby than before.

No, there were some changes. When he crossed the hospital gate, he saw many people who were unfamiliar to him but familiar with him. "Hey, Doctor Wang, are you here to see patients today?"

"No," Wang Deming pointed to the east wing in the front yard, "Come and take a look at the house and fix it up. In half a month, my brother-in-law and his family will move in from out of town."

"Hey, you better take good care of your room! Tsk tsk, someone wanted to pry open the door and move in before, but luckily the people in the courtyard persuaded him not to."

Due to the continuous expansion of the steel mill, the previous back house and gatehouse in this courtyard were arranged by the labor department of the steel mill for workers to live in.

"Oh? Who is it? How dare you?" Wang Deming didn't expect that his house was almost occupied by someone. Could it be the Jia Zhang family? In the many courtyard novels he had read in his previous life, the plot of occupying a house was always inseparable.

Could it be that I have also encountered such a ridiculous thing?
"Hey, you don't know him even if I tell you. He's from our steel mill, and was recruited from the countryside this year." The worker pouted, "He's in the same workshop with Jia Dongxu from the Intermediate Court. He knew there was a vacant room in the front yard, and he rolled up his bedding and tried to pry open the door."

"Later, Master Yan from the front yard and Master Yi from the middle yard stopped him. Tsk tsk, everyone knows that Doctor Wang is a good doctor with high moral character."

"Oh, then I have to thank the comrades in the courtyard. Haha, when my brother-in-law and his family move in, I will set up two tables in the courtyard."

"Oh, that's a feeling! You're busy!"

This result was beyond Wang Deming's expectations, but he could understand why Yan Bugui took the lead.

Yan Bugui was sure that Wang Deming would not have said nothing after knowing this, but Yi Zhonghai also stepped forward. What was his mentality? Was he thanking him for forcing him to adopt two children?
Good people are rewarded!
