In 1989, economic growth suddenly declined, prices soared, and there was some social chaos, especially in terms of ideology. Individual business is somewhat light, people's savings are rapidly depreciating, and there are still many household supplies that ordinary people rushed to buy last year.

Zhao Hong's family bought a lot of surprises, the white flour pile was full of homes, the salty salt was bought for two years, and the white cloth and cotton were stuffed in the wardrobe. Later, it was proved that most of them were not wrong, prices did rise greatly, and the common people also had a little wisdom. On the whole, the society has entered a gap period of consumption after the sudden big buying. The people's savings have also been released to a certain extent.

From the perspective of the country's major economic factors, it is mainly caused by factors such as the shift from expansion to compression, the reduction of the scale of credit, and the curbing of inflation.

Before the first half of 1989, the country's economy was in an overheated state. There are construction sites everywhere, there are a lot of new construction projects, people are looking for steel materials everywhere, and the price is also very high, up to more than 3,000 tons of wire rod, almost the same price as after more than 20 years, the manufacturer sells almost as much as possible, and the profits are very high, especially the so-called unplanned products are windfall profits.

In the second half of the year, the state began to adopt austerity policies, and achieved corresponding results, as if to achieve a "soft landing" of the economy, and the production of factories immediately fell into trouble, prices fell sharply, and products were unsalable. Factory efficiency has also plummeted, and loss-making enterprises have increased significantly.

Many companies have not yet adapted to this drastic shift. After all, the planned economy is still the mainstay.

Economic growth has stagnated, and during this period, the life of traders and businessmen is not easy, and people are criticizing private self-employed individuals for digging the corners of socialism, and doing business is to give gifts through the back door, buy low and sell high, do not create value, and are the moths of the whole society. The whole social atmosphere has become more conservative.

And the company where Zhao Hong's parents worked, followed the trend and hurriedly launched the new textbook project, and hurriedly responded to the call.

The last chance for the business is gone. Parents have also started to take more frequent vacations, and the time they are in arrears is getting longer, and their wages are getting lower.

This time, Zhao Hong didn't do anything more, the society as a whole is like this, who can be alone? Moreover, the high school entrance examination is coming, and Zhao Hong still doesn't dare to take it lightly.

Zhao Hong honestly stayed in school and ushered in a fateful one at the end of June

Test.

The high school entrance examination is like a swamp, how many people have challenged it here, and they all want to cross this seemingly calm and cruel swamp.

They came with confidence, but the reality was cruel, and only the best of the crowd came out of the swamp to meet the dawn of tomorrow; And those who lag behind in the crowd get stuck in the swamp and gradually disappear.

For students, the high school entrance examination is the first important juncture in their lives. Many students will obviously feel the pressure from many aspects: the advice of their parents, the teachings of their teachers, the competition of classmates......

However, in the face of stress, different students will have a variety of negative and positive reactions. In some ways, a good attitude plays a decisive role in the success of the high school entrance examination.

Zhao Hong's preparation is quite sufficient, and he has a certain grasp of the high school entrance examination, and he will not cross the admission line like the dangerous ones in his previous life.

The success model of life cannot be simply imitated, other people's models must have their preconditions and access standards, and reading is something that Zhao Hong can work hard to succeed, and reading good books is one of the access conditions for Zhao Hong to enter a higher level of society.

At the end of June, the sky was blue, with the occasional cloud, and the blazing sun softened the asphalt road.

Zhao Hong's brother came back to accompany him to take the high school entrance examination for three days, and the location of the high school entrance examination was the high school he applied for, which was also his brother's high school alma mater.

For the first time in his life, Zhao Hong walked into the old but solemn Soviet-style building, and he will spend three years of high school life here in the future.

The corridor is very tall, and it is full of portraits of the world's great gods of science and technology and their famous sayings and aphorisms. The corridor is well ventilated, and it is scorching outside, but there is a hint of coolness here.

The building has four floors, and there are candidates on every floor, and each classroom is full, and it is said that there are nearly 2,000 people, and less than 250 of them are admitted, one-eighth. There's nothing bad here. Only students who think they are good have the courage to give it a try.

Later, the last official student admitted to Zhao Hong's class was the first place in a class of a junior high school.

Zhao Hong was not very nervous, and he was a little nervous when he looked at the tense environment around him.

The three days of exams passed quickly, in a hurry, nervous. The more Zhao Hong took the test, the more relaxed he became, there was no change, the difficulty did not change, his level had also improved to a certain extent, and his performance was getting better and better.

The first thing I did when I got home after the exam was to get a good night's sleep for 14 hours, and my excitement slowly calmed down.

The most difficult hurdle in life has passed, and the new life will move towards a better future. In his sleep, Zhao Hong has embarked on the road of success in life, a happy family, and a lovely child......

The day after the end of the high school entrance examination, Zhao Hong returned to the school to evaluate the score, Zhao Hong carefully recalled the answers he had made, and the mathematics, physics and chemistry English that were sure to be right or wrong, and the language and politics that could not be determined. With the bottom in my heart, I went to other classes to inquire about the overall situation of the exam, and I was down-to-earth. There is basically no change, there is basically no difference between everyone and the test scores of the previous life, Zhao Hong estimates that his score should be stronger than the previous life, about 20 points more, mainly English and mathematics, especially English, after high school studies have mastered some English learning methods He has made a qualitative leap in this year. I only scored 62 points in the previous exam, and this exam has at least 85 points before, especially reading and choosing that is really easy!

Pressing down a little excited to return to the class, the homeroom teacher ran over. Anxiously asked, "How is it?

Zhao Hong thought for a while, "It's about 500, I've done my best." ”

The head teacher was a little happy to hear this. "According to experienced teachers, the test score this time should be not much worse than last year, according to last year's high school admission score line of 488 points, your high school should have no problems. ”

Of course, Zhao Hong knew that there was no problem, because of the impact of this year's major events, the political examination was generally difficult, the results were far from being as good as before, the admission score line would definitely be lowered, and the high school was basically completed! Zhao Hong thanked the class teacher, went to see other teachers, expressed his gratitude, and went home. There are people waiting at home, too.

When I got home, I gave another explanation, so that the parents who were waiting at home could go to work with peace of mind. My sister hasn't had a vacation yet, and my brother has also postponed his graduation assignment due to sports and hasn't come back yet. The house fell silent all of a sudden.

Zhao Hong sat alone at the desk, drinking the green tea he had just brewed, secretly lit a cigarette, and slowly thought about his plans for the next summer vacation.

So far, I have less than 1,500 yuan left in my hand, but it's also a good one. Although prices have risen rapidly, they are still very low compared to later generations, and the price of white flour has also risen from 0.12 plus food stamps to 0.22 plus food stamps.

China makes money, and many times it depends on poor information.

If you have information that others can't, or if you get a head start on important information, you may find opportunities to make money.

Some of the most basic sources of information are the people and things around you and the school where you work.

In short, establish a complete set of information collection systems to ensure that they can output enough useful information, and then analyze and extract useful information on a regular basis.

Analyze opportunities - dig out opportunities from information, find entry points, analyze the degree of matching with your own resources, and estimate the probability of success.

Once you've completed the first step, which is to extract useful information. Next, you need to move on to the second step:

Dig out the possible opportunity from the information, then analyze the degree to which the opportunity matches your own resources, and then estimate the probability of success, if the probability is large enough, it is worth a try.

When an opportunity is found, then you need to find the right entry point.

So what is the right entry point?

After choosing the right angle of entry, it is necessary to estimate the likelihood of success. If the chances of success are too small, don't try.

Seize the opportunity – test small, adjust operations, invest at scale.

When you see an opportunity and are ready to do a big job, don't be too anxious.

Every time there is calm in the face of a major event, we must first test it on a small scale to preliminarily verify whether this model can go or not. Don't directly stake your life into it.

The agent brand is estimated to have a relatively high input cost, you can buy a few products back first, see if you can sell it; if you can't sell one, it is likely that this model will not work, you need to give up, or change your way of thinking.

When the feedback from the results of the small-scale test is positive, then it is necessary to gradually increase the scale and optimize it in all aspects of the business.

Looking for high-quality and low-cost brand suppliers, pick more, you will be able to find better, cost-effective products.

Promotion and diffusion channels, that is, the implementation of sales sharing through the cooperation of people or institutions that they often contact, are things that need to be continuously optimized through operations.

After the optimization is almost, the business will slowly get on the right track, and you can consider becoming bigger, and you can invest on a large scale in people, finance, and materials.

These methods, which were already understood by many in 2018, were still very new in 1989. After all, reform and opening up have only been around for more than 10 years, and there are even fewer books on market operations, because it is still the beginning of the transition from a planned economy to a market economy.

This year's economy is not good, but there is one area that everyone is starting to pay attention to, and that is education.

Due to the uneven development of the various regions of the country, the economic disparities are enormous, and the disparities in education are even greater. There is a huge difference between key middle schools and ordinary middle schools in big cities, and there is a huge gap between big cities and small cities, and between small cities and H counties. There is a huge difference between teachers, a huge difference in the learning environment, and a huge difference in the materials for learning. Many people struggle to get the most up-to-date review materials for good schools.

And the price of books is very expensive, and most students cannot afford it. Privately printed learning materials are very marketable, which is also a phenomenon of rotten streets in later generations, not to mention high school students, that is, primary school classmates who do not have a few pirated copies of learning materials, and even without piracy is also a lite-cover version of review materials, the price has plummeted. And in 89, good review materials are still very rare. Especially the most up-to-date, inexpensive review materials. Now copyright is not an issue, no one will ask about it, because there are a lot of piracy, but it has not become a scale.

That's it, Zhao Hong made up his mind. It needs to be started as soon as possible.
