Chinese people's reminiscence of the past is nothing more than eating and chatting, and Cao Zhiqiang is not immune to this custom.

Eating is easy, it's just a phone call to have the food delivered to you from a nearby restaurant.

The key is to chat, which is very important.

What should be said and what should not be said, what should be true and what should be false, are all very challenging.

Fortunately, when it comes to speaking, Cao Zhiqiang has gained some experience. In addition, he had prepared a draft before coming here, so he can speak eloquently.

Most of Cao Zhiqiang's experiences in Japan, such as being a singer, a novelist, and even a playwright there, as well as the matters of attracting investment, can all be told selectively.

Unexpectedly, when she was halfway through speaking, Wang Xiaohong suddenly shouted loudly and asked Cao Zhiqiang to wait, and then she ran out on her own.

When she came back, Wang Xiaohong already had a rather exquisite tape in her hand. She pointed at the wrapping paper of Mount Fuji and asked if it was the Green Spring in the Forest.

Cao Zhiqiang was also stunned. He took it over and looked at it. The song catalog on it was all in Japanese, and it was really the names of the songs he sang in Japan.

But when I put it in the tape recorder and played it, it was his song.

After asking, I found out that this was the latest popular song that had recently come from the South.

The company that even transports these things to sell them is Hongguang Transportation Company.

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Zhiqiang finally came to his senses.

Good guy, really good guy, this is the real Li Kui meeting the fake Li Gui.

Obviously, this is a pirated tape from the South. There are actually many similar things.

For example, the songs by Hong Kong and Taiwan stars in China at this time, especially those by Teresa Teng, are actually 100% unauthorized.

The reason is very simple, that is, at this time, Hong Kong and Taiwan stars do not have authorization in China and cannot release their songs in China.

Including that Teresa Teng.

No, I should say, especially Teresa Teng.

After all, her identity is a bit sensitive.

In the past, everyone listened to these foreign songs secretly.

Now a lot of things have been relaxed, and everyone can listen to these foreign songs openly.

And to do this kind of thing, just copy it, and basically make a huge profit.

Especially now, because the country has opened up private companies and relaxed controls on some things, there are suddenly more places selling such tapes.

This suddenly became good, and the demand for tape recorders and audio tapes exploded.

As a result, the tape recorder became a hot commodity and a purchase certificate was difficult to obtain.

Audio tapes have also become scarce. Although they do not require a purchase certificate like tape recorders, their prices have doubled.

But this still cannot stop people's enthusiasm for buying.

It is precisely for this reason that Cao Zhiqiang's previous joint venture, Chaoyang Electronics Co., Ltd., opened its doors ahead of schedule and introduced the excellent blank tapes produced by the company to the market in advance.

The result was of course very popular, and Chaoyang Electronics Company made a lot of money from it.

Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang also felt a little embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, he only stayed in Japan for a few months before earth-shaking changes took place in the country.

It can only be said that in this era of barbaric growth, everything is changing so fast.

Furthermore, Cao Zhiqiang also found that since the country opened up private companies and relaxed more restrictions, the people's enthusiasm for consumption, business enthusiasm, and desire for money suddenly exploded.

This must have been suppressed for too long, which is why there was such a small explosion.

As for how long it will last, it's hard to say.

However, just letting go of private companies is equivalent to opening a hole, enough for everyone to squeeze in.

And this is just the beginning!

According to Wang Xiaohong, many people have now established companies and started engaging in various businesses.

This is also understandable.

Without him, I would be poor.

At this time, ordinary people basically had no concept of social security.

What can be related to social security is medical insurance and pensions, which are only available to people in state-owned enterprises and government units.

That is, only those with formal jobs have it.

Those who don't have a serious job don't have these things at all.

But even those who have formal jobs, their incomes are actually not high, especially for retirees.

For this, just look at the three uncles in the courtyard.

In fact, the three uncles in the courtyard all have pensions. However, except for the third uncle, who is a teacher and receives financial support, and is still doing well at present, the pensions of the first uncle and the second uncle are actually decreasing year by year.

This is because the unit where Uncle One and Two work, namely the Hongxing Machinery Factory where Sha Zhu has worked for a long time, is now experiencing poor performance.

But Hongxing Machinery Factory is just not very profitable and can still survive.

Other factories with even worse efficiency will be miserable.

Therefore, liberalizing private companies actually expands employment channels and gives people new opportunities to pursue their careers.

In short, just because the government has opened its doors now, both individuals and companies are finding ways to do business and make money.

The idea of ​​money first has begun to appear.

Although there was some chaos, Cao Zhiqiang thought about it and felt that the current situation was not bad, at least it was still within control.

Cao Zhiqiang did not dare to say that all of this was caused by him, but it should have something to do with it.

If nothing else, let’s talk about opening up private companies.

It seems that this matter was opened in advance just to make it easier for Cao Zhi.

It is equivalent to saying that this thing that should have happened has been advanced by at least half a year.

Don't underestimate this half year.

Many things can change drastically a month in advance, let alone half a year.

Of course, to be clear, Cao Zhiqiang was not the first to propose the issue of opening up private companies.

In fact, the issue of private companies has long been raised and has been discussed.

It was only because of the special nature of Cao Zhiqiang that this matter was done in advance.

Because of this, Cao Zhiqiang's Huaxia Audio-Video Co., Ltd. accidentally became the first private enterprise in domestic history.

This is a situation that can go down in history.

In the future, whenever the reform of domestic private companies is mentioned, Huaxia Audio and Video Company will definitely be mentioned, and Cao Zhiqiang will also be mentioned.

In addition, Cao Zhiqiang's reputation in the capital suddenly increased dramatically and he became a celebrity in the capital.

This does not refer to Cao Zhiqiang's identity as a singer and poet, but his identity as a businessman, or in other words, as a wealthy man.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang had always been very low-key and restrained when he was in the capital.

But when Joseph Tsao went to Japan, and a Chinese movie he made became a hit in Japan, something went wrong.

At that time, as "Love in the Rain" became popular in Japan, his name was also added to the news.

Then, some people began to dig deeper into Cao Zhiqiang's situation.

If you don’t dig it, you won’t know. If you dig it, you will be shocked.

In addition to knowing that Cao Zhiqiang is the famous poet Qiangzi and the famous singer Aqiang.

We also know that Cao Zhiqiang is the leader of several state-owned enterprises, and he also has a private company under his name, which is the first private company in China.

The problem is that the companies under Cao Zhiqiang, whether owned by him or controlled by him, are all well-known in the capital and are known to be very profitable.

On the other hand, this means that Cao Zhiqiang, the big boss, must also be very rich.

The current domestic people's views on wealthy people have changed.

As long as someone knows that someone is rich, most people will envy him.

Coupled with the media's publicity and private rumors, Cao Zhiqiang's reputation has grown day by day.

Many people even rumored that he was the illegitimate son of a certain boss, which was outrageous.

Anyway, I don’t know what happened, but Cao Zhiqiang’s reputation as a super rich man suddenly spread.

As a result, when many people talk about Cao Zhiqiang now, they don't dare to call him by his first name, and they have to call him Mr. Cao.

Now, no matter which unit Cao Zhiqiang works in, as long as it is under the banner of Mr. Cao, there are basically no taboos, the road is smooth, and there is an endless stream of people asking for cooperation.

For example, that Hongguang Department Store only operates a newsstand, no, it is a convenience kiosk.

I heard that last month, the bank manager personally came to visit and begged Hongguang Department Store for a loan.

But this is easy to say.
