Chapter Ninety-Three: The Expansion of Jiamei

"Hey, what am I going to do?"

Many people may not know that the tuition fee in the 80s was very expensive, and there was no pricing, basically set by the local education bureaus, in that era, the general high school tuition fee was about 200 yuan a semester, and there were 30 yuan of miscellaneous fees, many students dropped out because they couldn't pay the tuition, and you will find that there are fewer and fewer classmates around you.

At that time, for 200 yuan, you could buy a 400-pound pig, you could buy a bicycle, you could marry a wife, and buy a new house!

Xu Xuecheng opened his cabinet, and the jacket he changed yesterday hadn't had time to take back to the store, and there was a stack of gross tickets in his inner pocket.

Took out 5 100 denominations from it and handed them to Zeng Zhengxue.

"Take it, tell me about the money, don't you know I'm a local tyrant?" The word local tyrant was brought by Xu Xuecheng, because he often invited his roommates to the restaurant and brought delicious food, once he joked that "you are fighting local tyrants and dividing the land" The local tyrant became his nickname.

"It's too much, one person in our village can still afford it, you take 300 back" Zeng Zhengxue gritted his teeth, and decided to borrow 200 from Xu Xuecheng, and it will be back after the love.

"Take it, brother, 500 yuan is nothing, you don't want to be tight at home, just to pay your tuition, you can't live a life."

Zeng Zhengxue was silent, he knew that Xu Xuecheng was telling the truth, in order to pay his tuition last year, he ate dumplings filled with cabbage during the New Year, and his sister at home didn't even eat an egg, so they all pushed it to the market and sold it for money.

He scrambled down from the top bunk, Xu Xuecheng didn't know what he was going to do, but as soon as he jumped to the ground, he pulled Zeng Ziqiang and knelt directly on the ground with a snap.

Seeing that he was about to kowtow, Xu Xuecheng couldn't do this, so he hurriedly knelt back and held the heads of the two brothers, "What are you doing, you are folding my life, hurry up, how embarrassing it is for people outside"

Zhu Xinyu is a visionary, kicked the door shut, Xu Yuanqing wanted to say something, but finally squirmed his lips and didn't say anything.

It's Huang Xiaomin who has no heart and no lungs, "The three of you haven't celebrated the New Year yet, your heads are all kowtowing to each other, let's say okay first, don't kowtow to me, I'm not as a tyrant as a son, and I don't have a red envelope."

It was originally quite embarrassing, but being stirred up by Huang Xiaomin was much better.

New Year's Day, just like that, according to the solar calendar, after the bell rings tonight, 1981 passes like this, the last page of the calendar book is torn off, and the first rays of sunshine of 82 are about to be sprinkled.

After New Year's Day, life in school continued, and the approaching final exams forced the students to get up earlier, Sudie later, and many students hid flashlights and memorized words like chanting scriptures in the bed in the middle of the night.

Xu Xuecheng felt that he was incompatible with this atmosphere, he was probably the kind of "other child" in later generations who said that others endorsed him to sleep, others did questions and he played basketball, and he always took the first place in the final exam.

It wasn't until one day that Xu Xuecheng found that there were girls in the next class who began to hold hand warmers, and he came back to the aftermath of New Year's Day.

I haven't been back to the store recently, and my last weekend was spent in the vegetable garden.

Now that the New Year is approaching, everyone begins to buy New Year's goods, Caiyuan Street is becoming more and more prosperous, half of the new storefronts have been rented out, Xu Xuecheng took a warehouse to stack vegetables, and every night the vegetables from the surrounding countryside are transported in a truckload and are filled into the warehouse.

As soon as the morning dawned, the canteens and small restaurants of various units in the county, the owners of small restaurants came to wholesale, and even several small vegetable shops in the county also came to wholesale.

At the end of the year, the materials were scarce, and the small vegetable farmers themselves were not enough to eat, and the big vegetable farmers had already been booked by the farmer's vegetable gardener, so they had to come to the warehouse to buy goods and make a difference.

Xu Xuecheng went back to the store today, and he wanted to make a phone call to ask how the hand warmer was going next Sunday.

"Hey, Jiamei Electric Appliance Company, pick me up every day, just say that the surname Xu is looking for him"

The person who received the call was a man he hadn't seen before, and he didn't seem to know Xu Xuecheng, and it was estimated that he was newly recruited by the factory.

"Hey~ Little boss, I'm Zhou Tiantian, why can't I get through when I called you some time ago?"

Xu Xuecheng recalled, it seemed that some time ago it was snowing, and the county line was in disrepair and was frozen, no wonder he didn't call.

"Oh, it's okay, the line in the county was broken some time ago, so I'll ask how the hand warmer is going."

"Haven't you read the newspaper in this time?"

The signal of the phone today is not good, when talking over there, there is a murmur of "Zizi~" in the microphone here, Xu Xuecheng listened to it for a long time before he understood what Zhou Tiantian said.

The general meaning is that the hand warmer is sold in the north, and the Jiamei electrical appliance company is reported in the province and the south.

It seems that the sales of hand warmers are very good, in fact, it can be imagined, after all, an electric fan is cheap 88, expensive 128, which is worth several months' wages of ordinary people, and those who have no money can deal with it with a fan.

Hand warmers are different, one is only 8 yuan 10 yuan, there is the kind of rubber bag that does not need to be charged, one is only 2 or 3 yuan, some families buy several at once, and they don't care about these dollars when they are New Year, and it is really comfortable to cover their bodies.

Xu Xuecheng's goal is not small, not to mention one person, just say that there is one in the hands of an average of 100 people in the country, and his hand warmer is tens of millions of dollars, not to mention impossible, it is difficult to put it in the future, and it is really possible now.

First of all, this is a brand that has been on the Renming Daily, and at present, none of the private enterprises has such a big reputation and scale as "Jiamei Electric Appliance Company", and Hong Kong is about to return, and it is barely said that Jiamei is also a domestic brand.

In the case that ten out of ten industries in China are weak chickens in the world, a product that is better than Japan, the United States and Britain can imagine how many national self-confidence has been awakened.

Jiamei's advertising slogan in the newspaper was originally "Love domestic production, use Jiamei"

It can't be said that Xu Xuecheng took advantage of the people's patriotism, it can only be said that everyone took what they needed, and the people's self-confidence was what they wanted, and Jiamei got the funds they needed.

Finally, Zhou Tian reported to Xu Xuecheng about the recent financial situation, from the removal of the electric fan from the shelves in November, to the beginning of the distribution of hand warmers in December, Jiamei bought a few pieces of land in Shenzhen, all of which are places where Xu Xuecheng has memories in later generations, such as Shekou, almost the entire village of vacant land has been demarcated.

Now the factory area of Jiamei is no longer the original three or two cats, the factory building that accommodates 500 people has been built 6, the dormitory building alone has been built 3, plus the administrative building, the canteen, just like the model of a small industrial zone.

This is built according to the drawings left by Xu Xuecheng at the beginning, and the structure inside is the designer who was invited, Xu Xuecheng is only responsible for planning, after all, he has a specialization in the art industry, and he is only responsible for drawing the model of the industrial area in his mind.

Xu Xuecheng remembers that it was only after 1984 that a large number of foreign-funded enterprises including Hong Kong capital poured into Shenzhen, and now this momentum has a tendency to be advanced.

Zhou Tiantian also told Xu Xuecheng that Aimeco had contacted him in private and wanted to buy Jiamei Electric Appliance Company through him.

Speaking of Aimeigao, few people may know about it, but Liu Luanxiong, one of its founders, I believe everyone will be familiar with it.

In 1978, Liu Luanxiong and his friend Leung Yingwei founded Aimeigao Company, which mainly produces ceiling fans. In the mid-to-late 70s of the 20th century, the shadow of the oil crisis has not yet receded, Europe and the United States are caught in a sound of energy conservation, coupled with the nostalgic atmosphere at that time, the classical ceiling fans produced by Aimeco are popular in the American market.

The 28-year-old man earned 100 million in two years, 100 million in the 80s of the 19th century.
