Later generations of Northeast people all knew that clothing was wholesaled to Xiliu and small commodities were wholesaled to Wuai, but they didn't know that the largest wholesale of small commodities was in Wuhan.

When Li Zhongxin went to Wuhan Hanzheng Street in later generations, he still vaguely remembered that Wuhan's Hanzheng Street reopened its market at the end of the 70s and was the largest wholesale base for small commodities in the country.

Although Jiangcheng is far away from Wuhan, it is also very profitable to transport goods to Jiangcheng in Wuhan.

The earliest source of goods for Hong Kee grocery store came from Shen City, and later Hong Bin heard that a wholesale market had been established on Hanzheng Street in Wuhan, so he put the source on Hanzheng Street.

Historical changes always seem to have a small and accidental starting point.

When Hong Bin arrived at Hanzheng Street in Wuhan, he clearly remembered that in 1979, WH City decided to open the Hanzheng Street Small Commodity Market, which had been interrupted for decades, and unemployed young people and unemployed people became the first batch of self-employed people in the country after being registered with industry and commerce.

Many of them were trembling when they sold their goods, and the few of the seniors he bought the goods, those who sold buttons and Xiaobai, were all cut off from the detention center for the second time because of the crime of speculation.

Free circulation is the most primitive and simple truth of commercial society.

The seniors he purchased never dreamed that their actions would forge a new commercial circulation chain, redraw the business model of New China, and thus open up a new business development map in China.

It is precisely because of such a reason that after setting the tone of cooperation with Zhongxin Company, Hong Bin went to Wuhan Hanzheng Street to negotiate a large number of purchases and find a broader purchase channel.

Once everything is finalized, it's ready to open.

After Li Zhongxin received the list of purchase prices of the items mailed by Hong Bin, a touch of joy appeared on his face.

He saw that the price on this purchase list was much cheaper than he expected, and it was basically able to reach the ex-factory price of those goods at that time.

More importantly, because he told Hong Bin before that they are collective enterprises, and when negotiating with these large manufacturers, they do not pay the full amount, but pay a small deposit.

After the goods are sent to Jiangcheng on time, after the inspection of Zhongxin Company, there is no quality problem, and after selling part of the goods, the full amount will be remitted to the manufacturer.

In this way, a lot of cash flow can be saved, and more goods can be purchased, and Hong Bin has basically done all these things.

Although Li Zhongxin did not lack cash in his hands at this time, with such an operation method, the benefits to Zhongxin's company in the future would not be a matter of stars.

Li Zhong is confident that the initial operation of large supermarket chains is mainly all kinds of food, all kinds of small stores, household daily necessities, children's toys and other major items, and the others are small items.

As for the clothing category, Li Zhongxin chose to let Hong Bin buy some brand-name clothes and some finished clothes with the lowest price to operate.

At this time, only Dongfeng is owed, as long as the goods from Hong Bin's side are sent back to Jiangcheng, the Zhongxin grocery supermarket chain will open.

Sitting on the kang, he suddenly heard Grandpa Tai and Grandma muttering that the Mid-Autumn Festival actually arrived on October 1, and Li Zhongxin remembered why he almost forgot about it.

When Li Zhongxin asked the cycling team to sell fish below, he didn't change the raw materials for making moon cakes, he didn't want to eat the moon cakes sold in Jiangcheng at this time, he wanted to buy an oven to make moon cakes to eat.

Li Zhongxin remembers very well that the most mooncakes sold in Jiangcheng in this year were the kind of mooncakes filled with white sugar, which were nothing more than some damn green and red silk.

Li Zhongxin hated things like green and red silk, because most of the mooncakes he ate had this kind of thing, which was terrible to eat.

Every August 15, when eating moon cakes and admiring the moon, Li Zhongxin will specially break the moon cakes in his hand and pick out the green and red silk inside and throw them away.

He hated Qinghongsi for half his life, and even when he saw a trace of Qinghongsi, he felt disgusted.

Li Zhong is confident that the main function of the green and red silk in the moon cake is to adjust the color, that is, to make the filling in the moon cake look more beautiful.

This toner is made with raw materials such as radish, mustard greens, orange peel, winter melon, watermelon peel, etc., as long as the texture is hard and can fully absorb the color sugar.

The process is actually very simple, just wash the raw materials and shred them, then dye them with red and green food coloring, marinate them in sugar, and finally dry them.

This kind of thing has to be hygienic! In the 80s, the production process was very simple, and there was really no possibility of that kind of hygiene. Coupled with the fact that it is made with the legendary pigment and sugar, it is decided that this kind of thing is not a good thing.

It's just that in '82, there were too few raw materials that people could choose from, and there weren't too many other mooncakes.

After talking about the green and red silk moon cakes, Li Zhongxin had to complain about the five-kernel moon cakes at that time, the five-kernel moon cakes at that time, the name was very good, saying that it was a five-kernel moon cake, and the moon cake was at best a few broken peanuts and a little melon seed kernel, which was the legendary five-kernel moon cake.

Wuren moon cake is the most profound memory of the older generation, at that time, due to the lack of economy, materials and other aspects, everyone's most common moon cake is the five-kernel filling, and the five-kernel filling at that time is very competitive with the current one.

Every Mid-Autumn Festival, what the elderly in the family miss the most is this traditional old-fashioned five-kernel mooncake.

In later generations, Li Zhongxin's daughter-in-law loved to study the making of pastries, and every August 15, she would make homemade mooncakes for Li Zhongxin and his daughter.

Li Zhongxin still clearly remembers that the more you chew the pure five-kernel mooncakes, the more fragrant they become, not only the natural flavor of maltose, but also the fragrance of the dried fruits themselves, which are particularly delicious.

Li Zhongxin thought of it, he told Wang Bo, let Wang Bo and the leaders of Jiaqi No. 1 Factory say, get some molds for making moon cakes.

After the mold problem for making moon cakes was solved, Li Zhongxin asked Wang Bo to find his neighbor Gao Hua on the right of his house and asked Gao Hua to help buy a few large ovens.

For other things needed to make their own moon cakes, the cycling and selling fish team collected a lot, not to mention making what Li Zhongxin's family eats, even if it is a few hundred people's servings, there is no problem.

Li Zhongxin thinks that there are a lot of people in Zhongxin Company now, and during the holidays, everyone has to share a few pieces of moon cakes, so that it can increase the cohesion of employees.

Bonuses are bonuses, benefits are benefits, and this cannot be confused.

In later generations, people liked to ask for bonuses, but in the 80s, it was better to have more benefits.

As for why he wants to buy a few ovens, Li Zhongxin has his other plans, the chain grocery supermarket is about to open, and some moon cakes and snacks will be sold in the chain supermarket, which will be a good option.

Li Zhongxin's abacus crackled, he put some goods on several food factories in Jiangcheng, and he was producing some moon cakes and snacks and the like.

The oven has many uses, even if it is not used at this time, it is quite useful to make some delicious food in the future, it is nothing more than spending a few more electricity bills.

With the help of Gao Hua, the section chief of the Commercial Bureau, the four large ovens were pulled back on the third day, and after they were pulled back, Li Zhongxin went over to check them with great interest.

Li Zhongxin saw from this oven that compared with the ovens of later generations, this oven already has the most basic prototype of the oven, with an upward door and a glass observation window, but the glass observation window is very small.

Everyone pays attention to one of the main functions of glass: observation, through which you can see what is happening inside the oven, so theoretically the bigger the better, the more transparent the better. It's easier to ignore that it's another function – insulation! The oven design of the early 80s should be because of this consideration, a small glass viewing window was used, and the rest of the part was pressed by steel and aluminum plates, and the thermal insulation performance was absolutely the most advanced oven in later generations.

After the oven was bought and transported to the headquarters of Zhongxin Company's Zhubantun, many people in Zhongxin Company came to watch.

In this era, as long as Li Zhongxin buys something new, not only Wang Bo and Dong Zhiguo, but also Dong Guozhong and Liang Guofu go to visit as if they are curious babies.

They know in their hearts that every time Li Zhongxin tosses back a good thing, it also represents the birth of a new project.

"This is the oven?" Dong Zhiguo turned on the oven back and forth and looked at it a few times, and asked very puzzled.

Li Zhongxin smiled slightly: "It must be an oven!" Can't you see that? When I went out this morning, was my third uncle hit in the head? ”

"Donkey cub, if you make fun of the third uncle again, the third uncle will teach you a hard lesson." After Wang Bo slammed a chestnut on Li Zhongxin's head, he glared at Li Zhongxin with unkind eyes.

Li Zhongxin suddenly remembered that it seemed that last month, when he talked about this topic, if it weren't for this, the third uncle would never say that it was a donkey cub, and he could hear it as soon as he heard it, this was to say that Dong Zhiguo was kicked by a donkey when he went out in the morning.

Nima! In the future, this kind of thing must not be talked about, if you really let the third uncle Wang Bo grab his pigtails and teach himself a lesson, it will be a shame for adults.

Li Zhongxin rubbed his slightly aching head and explained to a few people.

"This is a glass observation window, this is a heated electric heating pipe...... Li Zhongxin introduced the parts on the oven, and continued to speak: "In fact, the oven is not mysterious, in the final analysis, it is an iron box that will heat up. ”

Seeing Wang Bo pouting, in the next sentence, Li Zhongxin's words changed, and he asked Wang Bo directly: "Third uncle, how have you been reviewing recently?" When can I go to night school? When you go to night school, you will know that this thing is very simple, and it is not as good as you think. ”

The next moment, Li Zhongxin saw that the faces of the two brothers, Dong Guozhong and Dong Zhiguo, instantly darkened, and their eyes looked at Wang Bo like fire, and even had a feeling of wanting to tear Wang Bo apart.

Wang Bo secretly scolded in his heart, why is this little rabbit cub so vindictive?

Didn't you just hit the brain, I didn't make any effort, this guy is good, and he retaliated directly.

Wang Bo also knew in his heart that they had been so busy that they had been so busy that he was almost tired like a dog, where would he have time to study and study.

Dong Guozhong saw that Li Zhongxin and Wang Bo actually put the topic on night school, and he said very eagerly: "Faithful! What are we going to do when we get four ovens like this? Look, we're all waiting here! Tell us about some good projects that you have come up with. ”

Li Zhongxin's little neck was crooked, and he said very recklessly: "Uncle Zhong, you are thinking about the project now, are you crazy!" A little bit of a storm is the project. Isn't this the Mid-Autumn Festival? I want to make some good mooncakes to eat, I think about it! One person is happy alone, it is better to be happy with everyone, make more moon cakes, and give a few pieces to the big guy, which can be regarded as a kind of welfare for employees of Zhongxin Company. ”

Li Zhongxin did not say his thoughts directly, but made a big joke with Dong Guozhong.
