Chapter 518 Investment
After Zhou Rong officially retired on March 3, he began to live a life of eating, drinking, playing and taking care of his grandchildren.
She rode her bicycle to take Zhou Jifan and Zhong Qiaoen to school every morning and picked them up after school. She spent the rest of her time at home cooking delicious food, such as spring rolls, wontons, French fries, chicken chops, etc., which she would make for the children in turn.
Zhong Qiaoen would eat one or two bowls every time, and once again sighed that grandma's house was so good, and he should have come earlier...
When Xu Hanqi and Xu Man went to find Zhou Rong, she was making popcorn chicken.
Xu Man smiled and said, "You keep coming up with new tricks every day. The children have gained a few pounds, and I've also gained weight as a result."
Zhou Rong: "They are idle at home anyway, so let's change the kids' habits. They have to practice martial arts and go ice skating every day. They will lose weight soon because of the large amount of activity."
While helping Zhou Rong, Xu Man told her about Xu Hanqi's idea of developing a cash register.
Our country invented the first commercial cash register in 74 and tried it out in some shopping malls in Kyoto, demonstrating its superiority in payment collection and settlement.
However, because it could not classify and accumulate, provide original records for query at any time, and had no printing and backup functions, it was technically inadequate, and many conditions such as the application environment were not mature, so it could not be promoted and the prototype was sent to the warehouse not long after...
The Ministry of Commerce plans to introduce the 528 cash register from Japan's OMRON company this year. If Xu Hanqi's cash register can be invented before then and approved by the leadership, there will be no need to let outsiders make money.
Zhou Rong supported Xu Hanqi's development of the cash register and told him the "inside information" he had obtained.
Xu Hanqi: "Thank you Aunt Rong for telling me such important information. Do you think I should do it alone or cooperate with the government?"
Zhou Rong asked him back: "Do you want to change your nationality?"
Xu Hanqi didn't understand why Zhou Rong suddenly asked this, but he still told the truth: "My brother said that our American citizenship currently has preferential treatment in all aspects, and it is also convenient to go to Hong Kong or other countries for inspection. I will not change my nationality for the time being. Will these two things have a big impact on my entrepreneurship in China?"
Zhou Rong: "If you don't change your nationality, it's foreign investment, and the government welcomes you very much, but the country practices public ownership. The land, factory buildings, personnel, equipment, etc. are all owned by the state. If foreign investors want to invest, they must accept government control at this stage.
This has both advantages and disadvantages. With the government as your backing, once your products are developed, you will not have to worry about sales. The government will help you with raw materials, venues, employees, etc.
If you don't want the government to participate in decision-making and dividends, you can only go to several special economic zones along the coast, rent land and build your own factories. After the products are developed, you need to expand the market yourself.
The production materials of various factories, shopping malls, and stores are currently organized and allocated in a unified manner. If you want to sell your products, it will probably take some effort.
If you change your nationality, according to the current policy, you can only engage in self-employment, and your employees cannot exceed 7 people, otherwise it is exploitation. If you want to expand the scale, you need to apply to the government, and they will still take the opportunity to intervene. "
After Zhou Rong's explanation, Xu Hanqi understood: "Thank you Aunt Rong for helping me analyze it. I'd better cooperate with the government. Otherwise, if I rely on myself, the little money I saved will probably be wasted."
Zhou Rong: "Recently, some foreign investors have been withdrawing their investments. Several government leaders are having a hard time reporting to their superiors. This is a headache for them. If you come to invest at this time, you have the bargaining power."
Xu Hanqi understood the deep meaning behind Zhou Rong's words and said gratefully, "Thank you Aunt Rong for your advice. I will go back and get the samples. When the time comes, I will have to trouble Aunt Rong to introduce me to the relevant leaders so that the project can proceed smoothly."
Zhou Rong: "Okay."
After Xu Hanqi had lunch at Zhou Rong's house, he went back to tinker with his cash register...
When Zhou Rong was chatting with Xu Man, he learned that Xu Hanhua was going to set up an investment company in Hong Kong. In order to find a place for the money in the space, he asked, "When will Hanhua return to Hong Kong?"
Xu Man: "It should be next week."
Zhou Rong: "You will come with me to see him later. He is an elite talent on Wall Street and must have a unique vision in investment. I want to deposit some money with him and earn some dividends."
Xu Man joked: "Your previous salary was so high, and you have a pension, are you still short of money?"
Zhou Rong: "Who would complain about having too much money? Prices have gone up a bit in the past two years, and they will definitely go up in the future. The little money I have now may seem like a lot, but once prices go up, it will only be enough to barely support my life. I don't want to live a tight life.
I don't steal or rob, I make money in a legitimate way, what's wrong with that?"
The country has implemented price system reform since March 79. Currently, the prices of grain, oil, meat, vegetables and textiles have increased slightly, but wages have not increased. The living pressure of some single-income families or families with insufficient savings has increased significantly.
Wang Chengnan earns more than 100 yuan a month, and also receives various welfare benefits. Xu Man has also saved some money and has never worried about life, but she knows that many people are struggling to make ends meet. She also agrees with Zhou Rong's point of view that prices will continue to rise in the future.
Xu Man also didn't want her life in her later years to become difficult, and she also wanted to leave some assets for her grandchildren, so she went to find Xu Hanhua with Zhou Rong.
Zhou Rong and Xu Man each gave 10,000 yuan to Xu Hanhua, saying they wanted to invest.
Xu Hanhua did not mind that the two had little money. He signed an investment agreement with each of them and distributed dividends to them at the end of each year.
Zhou Rong did not want Xu Hanhua to fall into a trap in Hong Kong, saying: "Hong Kong has been our country's territory since ancient times, and was occupied by Britain through unequal treaties. The leader has always wanted to take back Hong Kong, and has been negotiating with the British government since 79.
I believe that it won’t be long before Hong Kong will return, but the UK will not agree so readily. Before the policy becomes clear, the stock market and property market will probably experience large fluctuations. You should pay attention to news from all sides and don’t get trapped.”
Xu Hanhua seemed to be thinking about something. He didn't think Zhou Rong was exaggerating or saying this because he was worried about losing money. Since he could get the position of director, he must have a lot in his mind.
"Thank you, Aunt Rong. I will pay more attention to it."
Zhou Rong: "I went to Hong Kong for research last time. The business atmosphere there, especially the lively scene in the stock trading hall, touched me a lot. Unfortunately, I am old and don't have the energy to do it anymore. The development of the country depends on young people like you."
Xu Hanhua: "Aunt Rong is not old at all. We cannot compare with her knowledge and strategy. I hope you can give me more advice in the future. I will also do my best for my hometown within my ability. After all, this is my root."
Zhou Rong: "Okay, let's communicate more, discuss more, and give full play to our own light and heat to make our hometown better and better."
