Chapter 34: Quietly

On the last day of the end of February, Hong Yanwu took a look at the general ledger and made remarkable achievements.

Don't look at the fact that it has just started, and the wealth created by the eight theaters that have been occupied has reached more than 8,000 yuan. After deducting the early communication expenses and maintenance fees, more than 800 yuan, the profit was 7,300 yuan.

This money is then removed from the bonus of 300 yuan for "Little Cheese" to personally win the "ticket source" of three theaters, 1,200 yuan for the introduction of relationships and bonuses for his subordinates, and 1,300 yuan for the basic "salary" of more than 30 people. The actual profit was 4,000 Wu Bai yuan.

However, of the more than 4,000, Hong Yanwu did not all stuff it into his pocket. He insisted on a truth. The benefits of business are not about how much, but about the balance of all parties.

Therefore, he then gave 40 percent of the dividends to each of the eight "noodle managers" and "little cheeses" with 200 yuan, and the rest of the money was also given to the "little daughter-in-law" to send 500 yuan to Xiao Leizi, which was regarded as "paying land rent". The last 2,200 yuan is what he and Chen Liquan really get.

In short, everyone involved in it has been rewarded. Even the brothers at the bottom of the gang earned more than fifty yuan in half a month.

And the internal "leadership" who got the dividends can even estimate that the proportion of money taken by Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan is far less than the share they deserve as "handlers".

As a result, everyone appreciated Hong Yanwu's generosity and righteousness. With praise and admiration, it is natural to work harder to generate income.

Especially those leaders, they even suggested that they simply reach out of the district and occupy the theaters in Xicheng and Dongcheng. 

However, Hong Yanwu refused. His reason is that it is not yet time, and the main thing is to stand firm for now.

But he also said that he could prepare first, and gave everyone the right to recruit people.

In terms of treatment, he means that newcomers cannot be equated with "old people", and "pipeline" is only given thirty. "Eye-catching" can be given fifty.

This kind of policy, which is different from the old and the new, is naturally in line with the psychology of the people below, and it is not a problem to win support. But more importantly, it also means more "promotion" opportunities and more "dividends", just around the corner.

Therefore, from top to bottom, everyone is looking forward to a better future with joy, and its cohesion completely exceeds that of any gang, any collective, and any unit in the rivers and lakes of Beijing.

It can be said that under the leadership of Hong Yanwu, the morale of this group of "ticket sellers" has been far ahead of others in this era and has entered a good era of "reform and opening up" ahead of schedule.

In this half month, there are two things that cannot be left unmentioned. Through these two events, it is enough to show that the influence of Hong Yanwu has gradually spread unconsciously, and has begun to change the lives of more and more people around him.

The first thing is about the future of Bian Jiangong and Su Jin.

The family leave of these two boys is over, and they will return to the vast grassland again, to herd horses and sheep, and sleep with "lice" and "fleas".

And because Hong Yanwu has been busy, he didn't care about buying anything for them, let alone sending them away. But before parting, he and Chen Liquan still invited the two of them to have a meal outside and had a deep talk.

There was basically nothing else to talk about during the banquet, but they specifically analyzed the situation in the whole country and persuaded them to find an opportunity to "return to the city" as soon as possible.

However, because the educated youth in Yunnan had not yet taken action at this time, the major historical event had not yet happened, and the upper echelons of the country had not yet had a clear policy tendency, although Bian Jiangong and Su Jin were moved when they heard it, they seemed hesitant and had nowhere to start.

Hong Yanwu naturally didn't want to say it too clearly, so as not to make himself look like a fortune teller. So in the end, he could only provide each of them with two bottles of Moutai and 50 yuan of financial assistance, so that they could take them back to dredge up the relationship.

Bian Jiangong and Su Jin never expected Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to have such a show, and it was inevitable that they would be moved. But because the value of the money and goods is too high, no one dares to accept it.

In this regard, Hong Yanwu spent a lot of words. Finally, he left a sentence and said, "If you don't want to go, just wait until you come back." Anyway, we have a long way to go. It's better to solve the problem at hand than anything else. "That's how the two of them work.

That's not all, after that, Hong Yanwu gave a few more special instructions.

The first is to ask them not to tell their families about this, so as not to have more rights and wrongs because of this. They sent things back at home. Second, they were reminded that herders were generally addicted to alcohol and that there was a shortage of food in the area. Before you go, you might as well buy more two-pot heads and somen noodles. In short, we must do our best to return to the capital as soon as possible. Otherwise, the work will not be well arranged.

At this point, Bian Jiangong and Su Jin were both said to be bright, and they had some calculations. The two of them couldn't repay it, so they borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and saluted Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan several glasses of wine to express their gratitude.

Of course, no one realized at this time that in fact, from this moment on, the fate of Bian Jiangong and Su Jin was destined to undergo major changes.

Bian Jiangong will not take the initiative to stay in Inner Mongolia to get married, let alone die of liver disease before the age of 50 due to alcoholism.

And Su Jin will not return to the capital after five years, and in the end, he can only rely on his father's relationship to work as a temporary worker in the Northern Kunqu Opera Troupe, and waste his good years in vain......

As for the second thing, it was Hong Yanwu who, through his own actions, prompted all four households in the East Courtyard to change their concepts and use liquefied petroleum gas. As a result, the quality of life of the four families in the East Courtyard of Kannon-in Temple has been greatly improved.

In 1978, when the development of liquefied petroleum gas in Beijing was accelerating, the city's user coverage rate would reach more than 50% by the end of the year.

The benefits of using a liquefied gas tank for cooking are clear compared to traditional coal stoves.

There is no soot overflowing and smoky filth, nor does it worry about the lack of fire when stir-frying, and there is no need for people to rush home because they are in a hurry to make a fire and cook after work.

And the most important thing is that the price is also cheap. At that time, due to the state's subsidy, the purchase price of a 15-kilogram cylinder of gas was only two yuan and seven cents, which was basically enough for a family to use in a month.

On the contrary, users who burn honeycomb coal will have to pay about three yuan a month for a family of four, and if they want to burn briquettes, it will cost even more, at least four yuan.

Hong Yanwu was worried about letting the family use liquefied petroleum gas during the Spring Festival, so as soon as the Spring Festival passed, he went to persuade his mother to stop making three meals a day by tossing a small coal stove every day. It's laborious and costly.

Wang Yunlin didn't agree to this at first, she was afraid that she would not be used to changing to a new home, but she couldn't stand Hong Yanwu's reason and persuaded her again and again. The old lady also understands people, and knows that her son is for the good of the family, so she finally nodded.

In this way, after getting his mother's words, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan took the time to go to the Nanhengjie Coal Factory and applied for gas certificates for the Chen family and the Hong family.

At this time, Zhao Fengnian was the deputy director in charge of liquefied petroleum gas, so the old enemy Hu Erkui couldn't make it difficult even if he wanted to make it bad. Not only did the procedures go quite smoothly, but people refused to even accept cigarettes and alcohol.

But Hong Yanwu and his temper are the same, the better others treat him, the better he treats others. He was so bad that he dragged Zhao Fengnian out to drink.

In the end, the banquet persuaded for a long time, saying that the neighbors were afraid that they would have to apply for certificates a few days ago, and it was indispensable to be troublesome. finally forced Zhao Fengnian to accept the gift.

Not to mention, Hong Yanwu is indeed forward-looking. After he set up the gas stove in the small kitchen, the neighbors in the whole east courtyard felt fresh and came to see how the gas was cooked.

Naturally, modern equipment will never disgrace Hong Yanwu. As soon as Lan Wangwang's flame burned, not only Wang Yunlin, who was on the stove, was very satisfied, but also said that it was convenient and easy to use. The neighbors also opened their eyes, and their hearts began to move.

However, in addition to the doubts about the price, the biggest concern is safety. According to Lao Ding's words, how to look at how the cylinder looks like a bomb, it is really unreliable to stay at home.

But Hong Yanwu laughed when he heard this, he said that the canned LPG itself was developed by the state considering the gas use of bungalows. And there's nothing safer to use than in a makeshift kitchen.

Chen Liquan can also testify to this, he said that Beicheng started using this ten years ago, and he has never heard of anyone's house exploding. In this way, everyone's safety concerns are basically eliminated.

In terms of price, it is better to say that Chen Liquan is a person who has worked in a coal factory, and he is most familiar with coal fire costs.

And in the end, Hong Yanwu also added two of his own predictions and judgments for the future.

The first thing he said was that the liquefied gas station now implements a leasing policy for cylinders and stoves.

The original equipment fee of 23 yuan and 5, the liquefaction station does not charge, first taken home by the user for free use, only two cents per month to pay the rental fee, until the cumulative payment of the stove price, the stove will be owned by the user.

This is too suitable for ordinary people, but it is only a temporary method, which means that it may be canceled at any time.

And the second point he said is that the liquefied gas station has changed the old situation of being deserted and few people in the past year. More and more people are starting to realize the benefits of this stuff and become new users.

But there are a number of things, and if you miss it now, it will definitely be difficult when everyone wants to do it. If you can't prepare it, you have to treat and give gifts.

Needless to say, people in this year are living on a budget, and people have long been accustomed to the price limit and purchase restriction policy. How heavy these last two items are, everyone has their own weight in their hearts.

So, everyone finally made up their minds. Within a few days, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan helped the three families to get gas certificates and install a full set of stoves.

And once it is used, every family is really inseparable, and even their own people who know each other hype up the good use of liquefied petroleum gas, and they are glad to listen to the advice of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.

But that's not the end of the matter, and there's a situation that's quite interesting. No one expected that Lao Ding's family would soon have an accident on safety.

That day, Lao Ding's daughter-in-law was not at home, and he, the master who usually does not go to the kitchen, went to the small kitchen to boil water because he was in a hurry to drink tea.

He turned on the gas first, and then put the match to the stove to strike, and it took him a long time to light the match. So when the match was just lit, the "bang" sound startled Lao Ding, and his face hurt hotly.

He immediately turned off the gas stove and went to stroke his face, and suddenly found that his face was scummy. It's good to go back to the house and look in the mirror, and the eyebrows and mustache are gone.

When Lao Ding's daughter-in-law returned home, she was shocked when she saw him like this, and then as soon as she figured out what was going on, the old lady made a fuss about replacing LPG with a coal stove

But at this time, Lao Ding himself stopped doing it, and said, "No, not to mention, the coal stove is dirty, the cooking is slow, and it is still smoky and burning all day long." To say that it is better to liquefied petroleum gas. So you don't care about this, it's all my fault that I can't use it, and I'll just learn more in the future......"

As a result, this remark actually amused his wife.

Although they are all subtleties, although they are all subtle, the lives of the families in the East Courtyard of Guanyin Courtyard are indeed quietly undergoing new changes little by little because of the existence of Hong Yanwu......
