"Secretary Zhang, I think that if Shenchuan wants to develop, it must rely on Hong Kong and foreign capital. Foreign trade and international logistics are a big head. As long as foreign trade and international freight development bring more orders and create more jobs, the economy can develop. Zhao Yuemin said.

His proposal is actually more for himself and his friend Hu Dong. He knows that his brother Hu Dong has always been very disciplined and executive, but his ability to plan long-term goals is limited. He gave Hu Dong a task, and Hu Dong always did his best, but Hu Dong didn't know what to do next.

After coming to Shenchuan, Zhao Yuemin felt a new and different atmosphere. He feels that there is a kind of galloping ** flowing in his body, that is, in the near future, to create his own private enterprise.

"Hmm." Secretary Zhang listened to Zhao Yuemin's speech and responded, "Yes, Shenchuan relies on the port, and foreign trade and international freight should be the focus of development." I think we can work on this matter. In this year's government work report, although the central government has not made clear its attitude towards the private economy. However, in order to arouse the enthusiasm of enterprises in production and operation, it has been proposed that the autonomy of enterprises should be expanded accordingly. I think we can fight for this. ”

After the symposium, Zhao Yuemin and others stayed in Shenchuan for the time being. Secretary Zhang held a meeting of the Standing Committee and once again made it clear that the declaration of the first private company license would be the focus of this month's work.

Since the concept of "self-employed people are dishonorable" is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, in order to win the corresponding rights and treatment, Fukagawa Daily took the lead in publishing an article "How to Distinguish the Glorious and Dishonorable".

Zhao Yuemin and Hu Dong stayed in the Shenchuan Hotel, and their feelings were very complicated. Secretary Zhang has been in Beijing for the past few days, working the matter of private licenses.

Someone told Zhao Yuemin that the leaders of the State Economic Commission and the Economic Reform Commission had a fierce debate on the issue of issuing private licenses.

A week has passed, two weeks have passed, and Secretary Zhang is still staying in Beijing to tackle key problems.

Zhao Yuemin and Hu Dong became more and more nervous.

Three weeks later, Secretary Li brought him exciting news. After discussion and research by the State Council, it was decided to officially approve the first private enterprise license in Shenchuan City. The State Administration for Industry and Commerce officially issued an order to the Shenchuan Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce, authorizing them to issue private licenses, and Huaxing Industrial Co., Ltd. was officially born!

After receiving this news, the entire Shenchuan Municipal Party Committee was boiling. The country's first private enterprise license was established in Shenchuan.

Everyone congratulated Zhao Yuemin, saying that he was the lucky star of Shenchuan.

Huaxing Industrial Co., Ltd. was formally established. The company's location, which is taken care of by the government, is in the joint inspection building of the port, an office of about 200 square meters. Through the glass of the office, you can see Victoria Bay in Hong Kong.

Zhao Yuemin took a two-week leave from the oilfield leaders to help Hu Dong work with the company's initial business. The main business of the customs broker is customs declaration and inspection, commodity code classification for export enterprises, and then understand the tax rate, and help enterprises in need to complete sanitary animal and plant quarantine.

Feng Lan and Li Fang were originally going to work in the oilfield machine repair factory, but now that Hu Dong has opened a company in Shenchuan, they stay to help. The two girls were born in rural areas, and they were confused about the export freight business, and they couldn't even distinguish between customs declaration and smuggling.

Fortunately, Hu Dong was very patient and asked the customs broker to teach and explain to the two of them. Two young girls, holding the books "Customs Import and Export Code" and "Customs Broker Business Skills", read hard, day and night.

Not only for employees, but also for Hu Dong, the boss, everything is also a kind of readaptation and transformation. From the previous simple point-to-point transportation, loading and unloading furniture, running long distances, to starting to participate in the customs declaration and inspection of international freight, from quantitative change to qualitative change.

In the 80s, the international customs declaration business was just emerging, and customs brokers were in high demand. There are two customs brokers in Shenchuan, China Ocean Shipping Company and China Ocean Shipping Co., Ltd. Hu Dong's Huaxing Industry is the only private customs broker.

Compared with the inefficiency of state-run customs brokers, Hu Dong's customs brokers appear to be much more flexible. He took Feng Fang and Li Lan directly to various trade fairs in Guangzhou and Shenchuan to ordinary customers.

Compared with the logistics companies and customs declaration companies that bloomed everywhere in Guangdong Province 20 years later, at that time they had just opened to the outside world, and both exporters and importers had a devout attitude of cooperation. In particular, many collective factories do not even understand the export process.

Feng Fang and Li Lan, with the knowledge they had just understood, took the initiative to come to the exhibition to provide guidance to those export enterprises and help them understand the situation. At that time, many enterprises did not understand what the classification of their product export codes was, and they were also confused about the production certificate and inspection and quarantine that should be done.

To this end, Huaxing Industry has specially sent a young sales team to publicize and explain at major exhibitions. Soon won a group of customers.

The profits of customs brokers, especially in the eighties. Hu Dong hired three customs brokers, each of whom could handle 30 customs declarations of export goods per day, and charged export enterprises 10 yuan per ticket, and the cost was only some document fees, less than one yuan. Light assets, but thick profits.

Feng Fang and Li Lan are quite satisfied with their current lives. The commission earned by pulling business for a month is several times higher than the previous income of rural farming for a year.

The two girls were happy and shouted that they wanted to invite Zhao Yuemin and Hu Dong to dinner. The two also said that Zhao Yuemin did not spend much time in Shenchuan, and it was not easy to come here, so they wanted to do their part as landlords.

On Sundays, the company is closed. Hu Dong and Zhao Yuemin took the two girls to the newly capped Shenchuan International Trade Building.

"Let's go, let's take a taxi." Feng Fang waved to the street.

Zhao Yuemin looked at the green taxis that occasionally popped up on the street, and said with a smile: "Feng Fang, it's quite fashionable." ”

In 1984, there were only a handful of taxis in Shenchuan, less than 20, but the starting price was as high as 6 yuan, and the business was very good.

"In Fukagawa, it's naturally more fashionable." Feng Fang said with a smile.

Four people got into the taxi. Hu Dong sat in the front seat, Zhao Yuemin sat in the back seat, he felt the two girls on the left and right side clinging to him, which made him a little uneasy.

A few people bought two pieces of clothes in the International Trade Building, and Feng Fang proposed to come to Zhongying Street for a stroll.

Zhao Yuemin looked at the long queue of people at the Zhongying Street pass, retreated a little, and asked, "Why do you have to wait in line?" ”

Feng Fang introduced: "Although this street is not long, the things in it are rare. There are a lot of Hong Kong goods, many of which are in high demand here. ”

Finally queuing up to enter the customs, a few people entered Zhongying Street, only to see that the shops along the street were all using traditional Chinese characters as signboards. Electronic watches, Hong Kong Chow Tai Fook gold jewelry dazzling.

Feng Fang and Li Lan ran to the counter of the gold jewelry with their hands in hand and watched.

Zhao Yuemin was strolling around, and met a vendor on the street carrying a large bundle of magazines and cheering at him:

"Pretty boy, do you want a playboy?"
