After everyone happily received the bonus, He Zhou coughed heavily to attract everyone's attention.
"As everyone can see, our shop is busy every day. It's time to open a branch.”He Zhou clapped his hands and said.
"What? Isn't this too rushed?" Ah Ping said in astonishment.
Aunty Hua also advised," Zhou Zai, we've only been open for a few days, and we're opening a new shop. Aren't you a little anxious?”
On the other hand, Yu Sheng seemed to have changed completely in the past few days. He had a steady and capable aura from head to toe.
He did not object subconsciously. Instead, he thought for a while and nodded in agreement."Indeed, we should open a branch earlier. Our business is already very eye-catching. It's said that the owners of the shops on the entire street intend to raise the rent once.”
In his opinion, it would be better to rent a shop and sign a long-term contract before the rent completely rose.
" But it's a problem of money." Ah Ping was a little troubled.
They had heard that He Zhou had invested nearly a million Hong Kong dollars in order to take over the ownership of this shop. Even if it looked like he had gained a huge advantage, it was still shocking enough.
"Don't worry about the funding,"
He Zhou took out a small notebook from his pocket and showed it to everyone." I'll also buy the Maple Leaf Outfit store 700 meters away. Although that store is slightly smaller, it's enough to be our new branch after renovation.”
Now that he knew that the prices of shops in Xiangjiang City were showing signs of rising again, why would He Zhou hesitate?
If they didn't buy it now, the real price would skyrocket in the future.
" Then we can't handle it either." The flower lady was still stuck in the mindset of a mom-and-pop shop or a small workshop.
He Zhou smiled and said," Isn't that simple? Just recruit people."”
After a pause, he continued," I'm sure you have many relatives and friends in the mainland. You can ask them if they are willing to work in Xiangjiang.”
Everyone was shocked.
Even if one could not imagine what kind of life their relatives and friends in the mainland were living, they could still get a glimpse of it from the letters they exchanged.
In this era, supplies were extremely scarce in the mainland. Eating two taels of meat a week was considered a luxury.
A large number of educated youths returned to the city and could not find a job. They sighed all day long. Many places in the countryside had just implemented the household contract responsibility system, and the effect had just begun to show. Not to mention meat, it was already good enough to be able to eat white rice until they were full.
It was true that the lowest class in Xiangjiang City could not afford to buy a house, but it was definitely not a problem for them to eat and wear warm clothes. The basic salary of any factory worker was more than 1,500 yuan.
For a house with an average price of more than 5,000 yuan, such an income was naturally out of reach. However, based on the prices in Xiangjiang City, eating meat every day might be a bit extravagant, but it was not a big deal to eat it once or twice a day.
Apart from the problem of housing, the standard of living was considered top in Asia.
"Will the mainland release them?" Fishman Sheng said excitedly.
Flower Aunty and Ah Ping also looked over with anticipation.
In fact, most of the residents of Hong Kong came to Hong Kong decades ago to escape the war, and a small number of them settled down after smuggling from the mainland a few years ago.
A few decades could change a lot, but at the same time, there were also things that he would always care about and would never forget.
After all, they were not alone, and it was inevitable that they were related.
They often heard letters from relatives and friends in the mainland complaining to them. They might have helped in the past, but they were limited by their own abilities and could only occasionally give some money.
"I think that the mainland will release them.”He Zhou thought for a moment and said," Think about it. How much foreign exchange is the mainland lacking now? The Hong Kong dollar was also a foreign currency, which was rare in the mainland.”
"Hehe, that makes sense." The Flower Lady beamed with joy. She was happy that she could help her relatives in the mainland.
If they were to immigrate to Xiangjiang, they might have some concerns. However, it was very unlikely that the local leaders would refuse to arrange jobs for their relatives and friends in the mainland.
This was a good opportunity to earn foreign exchange.
If it were not for the fact that they were worried about further worsening the jobless rate in Xiangjiang, the mainland would have sent over a group of workers to earn foreign exchange so that they could buy machines and equipment from foreigners and expand industrial production.
After the excitement, Aunt Hua and the others started to plan which relatives they should invite to work in Xiangjiang City.
He Zhou rummaged through the memories of his original body and found that the memories of his relatives were very vague.
The reason was very simple. During those special times, his former relatives wished they could avoid him as far as possible, afraid of getting into trouble.
It was only after the social environment relaxed that they began to move around again.
However, he planned to set up a factory in the mainland after the situation in Xiangjiang City stabilized.
Before they got off work, He Zhou reminded them again.
"By the way, get your relatives to help hire pastry chefs and sculptors from Guangdong and Guangxi. Our shop needs to come up with new designs often. It's best to ensure that new desserts are available every season.”
