On October 7, 1980, a news of less than 100 words, "The city's first self-operated Yuebin restaurant opens today", appeared on the front page of the Beijing Evening News.

The reporter described this small restaurant with only 25 square meters of space, four round tables and 16 benches in "Cuihua Hutong".

On the first day of opening on September 30, customers waiting outside the door lined up at the entrance of the alley, and no less than 200 customers were received in a day.

The next day, the Beijing Evening News published another news feature on the front page - ""Taste It" Full of Laughter".

The reporter described the operation of Yuebin Restaurant in more detail with his real feelings.

At the same time, the evening newspaper distributed the message "Taste it, it's good!"

These two consecutive reports caused a huge sensation in the capital at once.

The news of the opening of the first private restaurant in Beijing is like throwing a boulder into a pool of stagnant water, which has aroused the continuous attention of Chinese and foreign reporters and the people of Beijing.

Foreigners even defined the incident as a landmark event in the reform.

This not only made Yue Bin Restaurant famous since then, but also customers from all over the world came to visit.

Many people have been inspired and touched by this, and have continued to join the ranks of setting up private restaurants.

According to data from the Beijing's industrial and commercial department, between 1980 and 1983, tens of thousands of restaurants sprung up in the capital.

And Guo Peiji and Liu Guixian, the owners of Yuebin Restaurant, not only completely solved the problem that their two sons returned to the city and couldn't find a job when they returned to the city.

It was also fortunate to be a model of reform that was reported by 77 foreign media in turn and received by the mayor.

And he took the lead in becoming one of the few people in the capital who got rich first.

So how popular was the sale of this restaurant at that time?

Many years later, Liu Guixian, an elderly restaurant owner, recalled this when he appeared on a TV show.

She said that on the first day, she witnessed how the book that bought four ducks for 36 yuan turned into more than 80 yuan.

The net income is more than 40 yuan, which almost made her sleep well all night.

The next day, she went to buy seven more ducks.

Since then, the number of daily purchases has only increased by a fraction.

And this foreigner is also so fresh.

After being interviewed by foreign reporters in her small restaurant, foreigners soon came to order food, and they also asked for a table seat of ten yuan per person.

But what were the prices like back then?

Even if the prawns, eels, and kings are all picked up, they can't reach half of the cost.

Especially for a small restaurant opened by a family of four in their own house, there is neither labor cost nor rent cost.

Whether the profit is more or less, please weigh it yourself.

This is the benefit of eating crabs first, and this is the bonus of being crowned with the "first" crown.

In the same way, in addition to being brainy, bold, and daring to think and do, Ning Weimin also has sufficient business experience and advanced insight.

In such an era when the transformation of society has just begun and the market economy is still in its infancy.

These qualities of his are generally lacking in people of this era.

Therefore, as the first person in the capital to eat the bowl of "information business", Ning Weimin's wealth-creating behavior has also taken the lead, and he will naturally be able to achieve great success.

Even because he is doing a partial job, the profits he obtains and the way he earns money are far more cost-effective and comfortable than being a restaurant owner.

As for the specific situation after the festival, it is really similar to what he pondered.

It is precisely because he has the magazine "Modern Youth" as an example that it is much easier for him to run the advertising business.

Some magazines that are not large in scale and unpopular publications have really loosened their attitude.

The magazines, "Essays" and "Words", agreed to advertise for him.

In this way, there are three magazines in October, which will promote his business in the north and south of the country.

It's just that people's requirements are that they must do three issues in a row.

Then the two families together have to pay almost 800 yuan, which means that Ning Weimin needs to bear greater financial pressure.

He roughly calculated, and he took back two hundred and six from Gu Si'er.

In addition, more than 60 letters were received before and after, and there were 323 of them.

And the month's salary that I just got has to be used to ensure daily expenses.

Then he actually has less than six hundred money in his hand.

Fortunately, there are still letters sent from the home, and this business has a strong ability to monetize, and the realization speed is very fast.

If you really put the advertisement out, I'm afraid it won't take a few days to fill this hole.

In other words, he only took out the money he had prepared for the ghost market and turned it around for the time being.

So this time he didn't hesitate, not only did he take out the money cleanly.

He also took advantage of his position to take on the identity of a made-up name "Gu Yue".

At a price of six yuan per day, I booked room 302 of the Chongwenmen Hotel as a receiving address that could be placed on the surface.

It's just one hundred and eighteen more in a month.

What is this concept?

That is equivalent to Mi Xiaoran's or Ning Weimin's monthly salary.

For this reason, Mi Xiaoran was taken aback, and completely refreshed his cognition of Ning Weimin.

Because since she was sensible, I have never seen a person around her who can do such a stupid thing and is willing to throw away such a large sum of money for nothing.

Yes, with this address, she received the letter on behalf of Ning Weimin to avoid embarrassment, and it almost became a matter of fairness.

But the problem is that the price is too high.

One hundred and eighteen, is this really necessary?

If you can keep this money in your hand, what can't you buy?

So she sincerely persuaded Ning Weimin.

Say you can be careful, and there shouldn't be any problems.

I was very worried about Ning Weimin, afraid that if he rented a room, what if there were not so many people who wrote to him?

Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin was not ambiguous at all, and said to her, "You are worried about the sky, I have a spectrum in my heart." Do you think, as long as there is a letter every day, the hotel money will almost come out, what am I afraid of? All I want is to make a fortune quietly, and reduce unnecessary trouble. Of course, if you figure it out and are willing to get a piece of it, we can talk about it......"

In this way, Mi Xiaoran could no longer persuade him.

However, the subsequent facts proved that Ning Weimin's decision was really very wise.

Because it is in stark contrast to the decreasing number of letters received at home.

Since mid-October, as soon as the new advertisement has shown its effectiveness, the letter from the Chongwenmen Hotel can be called an explosion.

On the first day, there were as many as seven letters.

Then the next day there were thirteen letters.

Twenty letters on the third day.

Thirty letters on the fourth day......

It was not until 40 and 5 that it peaked and then began to gradually decline.

But it also stabilized at about 30 letters, and it will no longer be lowered.

With such a high volume of letters, it almost doubles, and sometimes more than doubles, the daily reception of letters in the hotel.

If there is no cover in this room, there is no imaginary guest "Gu Yue" as a disguise.

Even if Mi Xiaoran has a position, it is not good to hold so many letters in his hands, and he will give it to him when he sees Ning Weimin.

It's impossible to hide it from everyone at the front desk seamlessly.

So because of this, this girl was a little confused for a while.

She was a little confused, whether it was better to be diligent and thrifty, or to be extravagant.

And she never imagined that Ning Weimin's money would be so easy to earn, and she was a little hairy.

What does this mean?

It means that on average, Ning Weimin raises at least one hundred and fifteen a day.

Actually, don't talk about her.

With such an income level, even Ning Weimin himself has to be so beautiful that he shakes his head.

This is just in time for him to dump copper in the garbage dump in the eastern suburbs and eat blind runners.

But the pay is completely different.

PS: Recently, the news outside has been flying around, and the future is unpredictable, which makes me feel very confused. But no matter what, I'll try my best to ensure that the book is finished. Having a beginning and an end is my pursuit and habit of doing things.

On the shelves on the first day today, I will try my best to get two more chapters, and I also ask all real fans to subscribe and support.

If you give me nobility, I will give you a conscience, hehe, I wish you new friends and old friends a happy Labor Day.

Thank you to the good friends who have kept tickets for me and rewarded me. I will always remember your encouragement and help.
