The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

Chapter 160 Acquiring gold?

Zhao Dongchuan did not purchase too much at once, not because of insufficient funds, but because current sales have reached saturation. Expanding the purchase any further might cause unnecessary trouble. After all, this is a special period.

Anyway, it will be open to the public normally in two years, so it is better to stay relatively quiet at this time.

After this period of development, Zhao Dongchuan no longer needs to worry about the business. He just checks the accounts every week to get some direction.

Coincidentally, during this period, after making inquiries from many sources, Huang Laosan reported to him that a family had been transferred to another job and Huang Yuan's house needed to be sold. The house could be transferred and they were looking for a buyer.

Zhao Dongchuan took some time to take a look and found that the house also had a yard, but it was not that big. There was only a front yard and a back yard, but no back garden.

The overall situation looks okay. Because the seller is in a hurry to sell it, he only wants 600 yuan.

Of course he accepted it without saying a word.

Anyway, he doesn't have much else now, just a lot of money, and he has no place to spend it, so it would be nice to be able to buy a house here.

As he now has more and more employees, Zhao Dongchuan plans to use this place as a staff dormitory.

So the next day after taking over the house, he asked Huang Laosan to find some craftsmen to make some modifications to the house to make it more suitable for multiple people to live in.

As an employee benefit, as long as you are a long-term employee with good performance and have worked for a year, you can apply to live in a dormitory, which means food and accommodation are provided, making it look more like a unit.

"Mr. Han, the renovation of this yard has been completed and it will be habitable soon!" Huang Laosan accompanied Zhao Dongchuan to inspect the employee dormitory.

"How many people can live here?" asked Zhao Dongchuan.

"It is estimated that it can accommodate about 40 people! Currently, all employees who need housing have moved in, and there will still be a small part of the vacant space!"

"Well, that's fine. Let's take some time to gather all the employees and have a meeting together! Be careful!" Zhao Dongchuan ordered.

Before in the secret base, Zhao Dongchuan had not convened everyone for a meeting. All his subordinates only knew that there was a big boss behind the scenes, but they had never seen him!

Zhao Dongchuan had never shown up before. This time, taking the opportunity of distributing employee benefits, he planned to show up and meet his employees. Of course, the one who showed up would always be "Mr. Han".

As for the future, we’ll talk about it later.

Then, on the second day after the renovation, Zhao Dongchuan came forward as "Mr. Han", gathered everyone together, and secretly held a small meeting in this small courtyard.

Fortunately, this yard is relatively remote and did not attract much attention from others.

Zhao Dongchuan was not like the big leaders in his previous lives who said they would just give a brief talk but ended up speaking for two hours.

He spoke briefly for a few minutes, talking about the importance of business to the country, and said that they would definitely be able to do business honestly in the future... and asked them to pay attention to safety at this stage.

Because of this benefit, everyone's cohesion and sense of identity have been greatly enhanced.

This way the probability of internal problems will be very small.

The secret base could not be exposed, and only Zhao Dongchuan and Huang Laosan would know about it.

After a brief meeting, Huang Laosan took a few outstanding employees and introduced them to him.

"Mr. Han, this is Ah Hu, this is Xiao Chen, and this is Lao Li!

These guys are all excellent. Not only are they good at selling things, they are also very alert and have never made any mistakes. They are our capable men!"

Huang Laosan took several outstanding employees to introduce them to Zhao Dongchuan.

"Lao Li is responsible for the electronic watch business, Ah Hu is responsible for the radio business, and Xiao Chen is responsible for the calculator and flashlight business!"

"Okay, okay, although we seem to be like rats crossing the street and everyone is shouting at us now, in two years, we may be wearing red and decorated with ribbons and go on stage to receive awards!

I have high hopes for you. By then, we may have several millionaires here! Come on!!!"

Although everyone didn't quite understand the meaning of "ten thousand yuan households", they knew that it meant being very wealthy. They were all smiling and happily looking forward to a better future.

During this period, Zhao Dongchuan and Huang Laosan have been planning to reform the salary system, and when the market opens in the future, they will add a sales commission.

At present, it is just in the form of fixed salary plus year-end bonus!

Before leaving, Zhao Dongchuan took Huang Laosan to a private meeting.

"Old Huang, do you know where I can get gold?" Zhao Dongchuan asked in a low voice.

"Gold? Mr. Han is planning to buy gold? Well... now private individuals are not allowed to hold gold. Even if many people have it, they hide it at home and dare not take it out!" Huang Laosan said solemnly.

"We are engaged in a business that is not allowed by policy..."

"That's right. I plan to set up a purchasing stall at several current black market spots, specializing in collecting some good things, gold, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, old furniture, jade, as long as they are valuable or will be valuable in the future!" Zhao Dongchuan said with a grin.

"Mr. Han, your idea... is very forward-looking, but we don't have the manpower to do so at the moment. Even if someone brings something here, we won't be able to understand it!" Huang Laosan said helplessly with a bitter face.

He felt that his boss's thinking was a bit jumpy. He was doing well in speculation and profiteering, so why would he think of touching these things?

If you make a mistake, not only will you not make any money, you will also lose money.

"I know that this requires a group of experienced veterans. Do you know where to find such talents?" Zhao Dongchuan asked.

"Well, there was an antique street in the Dongguan area of ​​Huangyuan before liberation... There were a lot of old things, but it gradually declined after liberation, and before that, many things were gone during the elimination of the "Four Olds", and no one knew where those old people who knew about the things went..." Huang Laosan recalled and said slowly.

"Yes, very good. This is a clue. Ask your subordinates to ask around and see if there are such talents who can be recruited to help us!" Zhao Dongchuan nodded and said with a smile.

"How about this, put the acquisition of the stall on hold until you find the right person to talk to!

But you can tell the brothers that when you sell goods, you can use gold and jade treasures of equal value as collateral. These things are less likely to be flawed, so you can take some back!" Zhao Dongchuan said with determination.

He now has a lot of cash in his hands, and these large sums of money are about to get moldy if left in the space. He cannot launch any large-scale projects, so they can only be left there to gather dust.

The same goes for those tickets. Now he is not only speculating, but also adding ticket exchange business. He collects some tickets and also gives out some tickets, but the quantity is not large, because he knows clearly that in a few years, food coupons and other things will disappear from the stage of history with the development of the economy.

If you do too much, you will easily get into trouble.

However, these gold, antiques, jade and antiques have great potential for appreciation in the future.
