Chapter 400: Fire
"If you want to expand your family business, you don't have to buy the store next door. There are only so many people in Zhengyangmen, and the bigger the store, the better. Sijiu City is so big, you can open branches in other places!"
Liu Pingan told Xu Jingli about the chain franchise system in later generations. This is a path that countless people have taken in later generations, so just copy it.
In fact, to grow a business and become stronger, you need to learn how to manage the business. A series of issues such as public relations, taxation, accounting, and personnel scheduling will all be put in front of you. There is a lot of knowledge involved, and it has to be left to professionals to do professional things.
Xu Damao has also recently reconnected with Qin Jingru. During this period, Xu Damao has experienced what it means to chase his wife to the crematorium. After repeated assurances, Qin Jingru agreed to remarry him.
However, Xu Damao had a plan in mind for the day of renewing his marriage certificate. Xu Damao had already figured out the next time the old men in the courtyard would receive the TV.
The Third Uncle and his group still contacted the other side by using Xu Damao's name. Otherwise, they would not deliver the goods to them. This is the trust between people.
In fact, they are just afraid of being lured. Their business is considered smuggling, which is not allowed to be seen in public. Just like the pickup trucks carrying diesel in the future, 1500 diesel will be fined directly. Who can they complain to?
If you ask, there are laws to follow. If you are not satisfied, you can appeal to the higher authorities. However, it is estimated that it will fall on deaf ears and will not cause any waves. After a while, there will be no news.
"Hey, when will the goods we ordered be delivered?"
"Who are you?" A questioning voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I, Damao, ask your boss to answer the phone."
At this time, mobile phones were available again, and they were called "big brothers". They were not very convenient either, and were larger than bricks. They could be charged for ten hours and talk for 30 minutes. Emmm, this seemed to be the slogan of a mobile phone company in reverse order. Liu Pingan couldn't remember it clearly at the moment.
After some conversation, Xu Damao confirmed the delivery time and location of Yan Bugui's group. He turned around and paid the phone bill to the owner of the phone booth, and then walked towards the next newspaper phone booth.
This time, Xu Damao called the customs in Sijiu City to report the group of people in his yard.
As I said, it is not easy to accomplish something, but it is very easy to ruin your business. Take the restaurant business for example. If you want to eat for free, as long as you are thick-skinned enough, in this era without surveillance, you can just kill a fly and throw it into the leftovers.
As long as you are not afraid of losing face, if your boss still wants to do business well today, he may even give you a few dollars back.
Of course, if you do this, you have to be prepared to be beaten in advance. After all, not all bosses will choose to keep quiet.
"Hello, is this the General Administration of Customs? I want to report that tomorrow, which is Sunday this week, someone will be smuggling color TVs in a suburban area of Sijiu City around 7 o'clock in the evening."
"Hello, thank you for your report. Could you provide your name and address?"
Only a fool would report someone in a phone booth with his real name. If I really wanted to report someone with my real name, wouldn't I just go to the customs to find you guys? What? If you can't catch me, are you going to come to my house to interrogate me?
"No, why do you have so many questions? Who stipulated that reports must be registered? I ask you, can you do this?"
"Let me tell you, the quantity of this batch of smuggled items is not small, and the amount is also extremely huge, more than 15 yuan."
"Anyway, I've given you the information. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
After saying these words, Xu Damao hung up the phone, threw a dollar to the newsstand owner, and walked away without leaving any trace. This time, Xu Damao's call was not long, and since it was a local call, it didn't cost him a dollar.
The newsstand owner took Xu Damao's money and looked at the duration of the call. It was two and a half minutes, less than three minutes. Rounding it off, it was three minutes, forty-five cents.
They gave me one dollar, and I gave you fifty-five cents in change.
"Oh, no, where is he?" When the owner of the convenience store picked up the change and looked up again, he found that Xu Damao was no longer outside.
However, I still feel a little uneasy holding this money. So, I will temporarily put it in my pocket for the person who called just now.
If the person comes back in a while, I will return the money to him. If he doesn't come back, I'll just use the money to buy a snack when I get home at night.
Here, after reporting the matter to the people in Siheyuan, Xu Damao walked towards his home as if nothing had happened. He had to keep his mouth shut about this matter, and he must not let these people in Siheyuan know about it.
My house is in the backyard. If the news leaks out by accident, I will have to be careful about people throwing stones through the window when I sleep at night.
After returning home, Xu Damao took off his coat and scarf, and went to the honeycomb coal stove to warm himself.
It was already the end of December, and the New Year was coming in a few days. The weather was extremely cold, dry and cold. There were houses with heating in the city, but it was obvious that they were not something that could be enjoyed in the compound where Xu Damao lived.
This is a large compound in Jiucheng. It sounds like it has a good location and will be worth a lot in the future. However, those who actually live in it know what the conditions of their homes are like.
Not to mention the future, right now, those who have the means are all trying their best to move out of this compound and live in a tube-shaped building. In the courtyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, several families have moved out directly in the past few years. As for the original house?
If you rent it, then it’s fine. Just tell the street office and cut off the rent. For those who have already bought it, I don’t know if they will regret it in the future.
After roasting the fire for a while, Xu Damao moved the stove outside his house. It was not that roasting the fire outside was more efficient, but now it was time, and Xu Damao had to boil medicine for himself.
Anyone who has taken Chinese medicine knows that this thing must not be used in a closed space. The smell of this thing is not to be underestimated, even stinky tofu can't compare.
