MTL - Back To 2005-Chapter 5 Take advantage of

  Chapter 5

   It cost 1.5 yuan to go to the city by car, and another 1 yuan to take the bus to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Zhou Anan's start-up capital was instantly reduced by 2.5 yuan, which made people feel sad.

   Hurriedly walking into the gate of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Zhou Anan's footsteps accelerated a little bit, and if it was a little later, the little uncle would be off work. In this era without mobile phones, there is no way to contact in advance, and it is even more impossible to use a landline at home. If my parents find out, everything will be ruined.

  The gatekeeper glanced at him, but he didn't respond. He never stopped the staff's children from coming in.

The reason why he dared to fool Rong Rongrong into quitting his job as a waiter before deciding on the venue and opening time was because his uncle worked in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and happened to be in charge of the night market land, Zhou Anan had already thought about fooling Xiao Rongrong. Uncle's routine.

  In this era when the 'invincible' urban management army has not yet been born, the Bureau of Industry and Commerce is indeed the most authoritative department in ordinary commercial markets, not one of them.

   "Uncle."

  Easy to find the little uncle's office, Zhou Anan, who pushed the door straight in, looked at the little uncle who was busy processing the documents, and shouted with a smile.

   "An'an, why are you here?"

   Looking up and seeing his eldest nephew, Cao Guoan asked in surprise and put down his work.

   This big nephew rushed over suddenly, did something happen?

   "Didn't I pass by here to see you, Uncle?"

  Poured a cup of tea for the little uncle cleverly, and Zhou Anan opened a pack of hard boxes of Zhonghua picked up from the bedroom of his parents and handed one to the little uncle, with extremely skillful movements.

   "Heh, you kid, when did you learn to be so sensible?"

   Taking the cigarette from his eldest nephew, Cao Guoan nodded with a smile and cursed, put the cigarette under his nose and smelled it.

   He didn't expect that his eldest nephew still had the ability to deal with people like this.

   "I've always been so sensible, but uncle, you didn't realize it."

   Zhou Anan was not polite to his little uncle who always regarded himself as his own. While speaking, he picked up the lighter on the table and lit it for his little uncle.

   "Tell me, what's the matter?"

   Taking a puff of cigarette, Cao Guoan's eyes flashed with surprise, and he asked a question.

   Once upon a time, that taciturn elder nephew was so eloquent.

   It seems that the old Zhou family has a successor.

"Well, little uncle, I have finished the college entrance examination for more than half a month, and I am bored at home. Some classmates suggested that we set up a barbecue stall together, so that we can experience it and earn some pocket money. I have never done this thing, so I came to ask Ask little uncle, what do you think, do you want to apply for a business license or something?"

  Have already considered his speech, Zhou Anan said it without blushing or heartbeat, without any pressure.

  As a young man, I carefully inquired before making a barbecue stall, and there was nothing wrong with it.

   "Barbecue stand? Just you guys, don't lose all the pocket money your parents gave you."

  After hearing about his eldest nephew, Cao Guoan raised his eyebrows and said something earnestly.

  Cao Guoan didn't have too many thoughts in his mind.

  He didn't know what classmate he was talking about with his eldest nephew, but he presumably graduated from No. 1 Middle School. If he wanted to do something, it shouldn't be a big problem.

   As for the elder nephew's participation, Cao Guoan, who is in the unit, has no intention of stopping it at all. It is also good for boys to exercise, but they need adults to check.

   "We are inexperienced, so we came to ask you, an old businessman."

  Seeing that his little uncle didn't reject it outright, Zhou Anan knew that his plan was probably all right, and the next step was to test his thickness.

   As much as you can take advantage of, as much as you can.

"Since your classmates are doing it together, let's set up an open-air stall at the intersection of the Industrial and Commercial Supermarket in the night market. It happens that we still have some useless tables and chairs in the warehouse, which can be lent to you temporarily. You and your classmates call a car and go to Move the warehouse."

   After thinking for a while, Cao Guoan began to advise his eldest nephew.

  He is very supportive of his eldest nephew's attitude of wanting to experience life.

  Although he is an ordinary clerk in the industrial and commercial office, he has been in this unit for decades and has rich experience, so he still has some face.

  Anyway, the things in the warehouse were so idle that they were almost moldy. In the end, instead of selling scraps, they even set them on fire.

   "Thank you, Uncle, what documents do I need to do?"

   I didn't expect my uncle to be so thoughtful, making his thick skin useless, Zhou Anan continued to ask.

   "It's a small stall, what kind of business license do you need, just let me talk to our director."

  Cao Guoan didn't care much about his eldest nephew's petty fights, and waved his hand with a smile.

   "That's OK."

  In Zhou Anan's vision, the benefits of obtaining a business license are not small.

  However, seeing how casual his little uncle is now, Zhou Anan decided to take it slowly.

   "By the way, your aunt has been strictly inspected recently, so I will give this bag to you."

  Cao Guoan directly confiscated the newly opened hard box of Zhonghua that the eldest nephew put on the table.

  He is also doing this for the good of his eldest nephew, taking care of it for his brother-in-law. Who knows if young people nowadays will smoke indiscriminately.

   "Okay, then I'll go to the warehouse to get the goods."

   Seeing his uncle's smooth manner, Zhou An'an knew that the cigarettes brought by Bao Shun had never returned, and he didn't get entangled.

   "It's so urgent, then I'll go with you and talk to Lao Liu in the warehouse."

  Cao Guoan didn't expect his eldest nephew to be in such a hurry, so he smiled and stood up, ready to take him to recognize someone.

   After all, it belongs to young people, and their energy is sufficient.

   "I'm sorry, Uncle."

   "You kid, when did you become so polite?"

  The office of the Xicheng Industrial and Commercial Office is only fifty meters away from the warehouse. Zhou Anan was chatting with his uncle, and they arrived in a blink of an eye.

   "Old Liu."

  When he came to an old two-story house, Cao Guoan called out to a middle-aged man in the gatehouse, and handed him a cigarette by the way.

   "Old Cao, why come here when you have time?"

   After taking the cigarette from Lao Cao, Lao Liu asked with a smile.

   "This is my eldest nephew. He has graduated from the college entrance examination and wants to set up a barbecue stall. I remember that I just confiscated a batch of tables and chairs a while ago. I will lend it to my eldest nephew for two days and return it when the time comes."

   Cao Guoan said it without hesitation about such a small matter that did not violate the big rules.

   "It's all going to be destroyed anyway, so my eldest nephew can just take it, and why don't you borrow it?"

  After listening to Cao Guoan's words, Lao Liu waved his hand grandly.

   "Hey, I still have to count it as a loan."

  Cao Guoan, who has always been cautious in doing things, did not appreciate this. After all, procedures still have to be followed.

  Anyway, the eldest nephew will only use it for one or two months, and it’s okay to destroy it after returning it. If you just take it away, it’s a matter of principle, and there’s no need to be greedy for such a small amount of money.

   "Okay, I'll go and tidy it up for you, do you want me to help call a car and take it to my nephew?"

   Taking out the key to the warehouse from the duty room, Lao Liu said enthusiastically to Zhou Anan.

   "No, no, I can call a car myself, thank you Uncle Liu."

   It would be a lie if he wasn't impressed by Lao Liu's proposal. Zhou An'an, who finds it bothersome, can't waste too much of his little uncle's favor. Anyway, it only costs twenty or thirty yuan to call a car.

   "Okay, these tables and chairs, take a look, which ones are better, just take them. Lao Cao, I'm going back to the duty room to enjoy the cool, and let me know when you leave."

  Opening the door of a warehouse, Lao Liu said something to the two, then turned and walked back to the duty room with the air conditioner on.

   Looking at the brand-new composite board folding tables and chairs piled up like a hill in the warehouse, Zhou Anan felt that he was looking for his little uncle.

   "These are all counterfeit products that we seized in a factory last time. Except that the trademark is fake, the quality is absolutely fine."

  Opened a table and patted the thick top, Cao Guoan introduced it with a smile, for fear that the young nephew might have any doubts.
