Speaking of running a tobacco and liquor store, Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui are actually quite lucky.

Although the country is determined to implement the tobacco monopoly system, it established the State Tobacco Corporation on January 1, 1982.

However, the relevant implementation rules were postponed until September 23, 1983.

Even the tobacco monopoly bureau, which plays a role in supervision and management in the market, was established even later.

It was not until January 6, 1984 that this department began to officially perform its functions.

To put it bluntly, Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui were a coincidence. They were facing a window of handover and transition.

Due to the wholesale business of tobacco and alcohol when applying for a license, the sugar industry tobacco and alcohol company is currently in charge.

This makes it easier for them to apply for a license.

Ning Weimin just had to say hello to the sugar industry tobacco and alcohol company through Director Li on the street, and the business license was successfully approved.

Otherwise, if he waits for a year and then he will think about it again, he may not be able to get what he wants.

Not to mention that the relevant review procedures will inevitably be complicated and there will be a lot of trouble.

It was during the period when the franchise system was introduced and the establishment of the Tobacco Special Bureau was established.

After all, the state still allows or not to apply for business licenses in this area. Will it be necessary to order to temporarily stop processing business licenses for tobacco and alcohol business?

Of course, it is obvious from this that the chaos in the tobacco market has actually reached a level that the country cannot bear.

In fact, under the specific historical conditions of contemporary times, due to the lack of unified and specialized institutions in the Beijing cigarette market, what is presented on the market is the chaos of bullish wholesale.

In addition to wholesale units related to the cigarette business.

Driven by interests, many units, including units stationed in Beijing from other provinces, rushed up to compete for the rights to wholesale cigarettes.

So there was an abnormal phenomenon that there were more than 470 second- and third-level wholesale units in the Beijing cigarette market at that time.

This is why the tobacco franchise system appears.

In short, to put it in a sentence from Gao Yingpei and Fan Zhenyu’s crosstalk “Fishing”, it’s called “Okay, I’m catching up with Jie Po’er!”

It is necessary to ask Er's mother to take the big wooden basin to continue!

Needless to say, the first thing Ning Weimin did after obtaining a legal license was to quickly report the good news to Zhang Shihui.

Who made the two partners?

In the future, this store will be half of them, and he will have to ask Zhang Shihui to invest.

Zhang Shihui was also quite satisfied with the view.

For nothing else, the key is that Ning Weimin named the tobacco hotel "Huimin Tobacco and Liquor Store".

Obviously, this first shows that Ning Weimin sincerely wanted to join forces with Zhang Shihui from the beginning and did not make any other plans.

Secondly, because Ning Weimin also put the word "min" humbly behind the word "hui", it can also fully reflect his respect and sincerity for Zhang Shihui, a friend.

So although Ning Weimin is the only one on the license.

But Zhang Shihui was still happy and took out 25,000 yuan without hesitation.

This pleasure made Ning Weimin a little surprised. Instead, he shook his head and rushed to give him the necessary reminder.

"Shihui, I'm the only one on this license, why don't you ask? Are you so relieved to me? Are you really not afraid that I will cheat you?"

The result was far beyond Ning Weimin's expectations. In fact, Zhang Shihui is a real sensible person.

"Do you think I'm stupid? I'm running a job with a job off salary. Can I do business? When I asked, you must ask me to quit so that I can get my name. Then I'll do it as I do, isn't I even lost my way out?"

"Besides, will you cheat me? I really don't believe it. Is our friendship worth this little money? Besides, if you really lack money, then the words will be over. I'm really happy to give it to you for free."

"You guys always like to talk about ugly things in front of you. OK, I'll just explain it to you clearly. Don't look at the name of this cigarette hotel, it's my responsibility after you can. You, don't worry that I'll cheat you..."

Look at this idea, it’s so logical!

Ning Weimin couldn't help but smile and shook his head. This time it was not for Zhang Shihui, but for himself.

That’s right, everyone will make progress. If you leave for three days, you should look at each other with admiration.

No wonder this guy can already pick a bunch of them by himself.

He has really experienced it in the business world.

Since you already have a license, the next thing you have to do is of course find a business location.

In theory, renting a house is not very convenient these days.

Because the economy is in its infancy, the rent is not high, and everyone lacks space, so no one is willing to cause trouble.

But Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui are different. They have a wide range of social interactions and know each other from all walks of life.

It is relatively easier for others to have difficult things.

In fact, they found the storefront they needed without much trouble, and there were three places for them to choose from.

The first place was found by Qiao Wanlin, the first hotel in front of the gate.

After Qiao Wanlin reported to the Service Bureau, she was mainly responsible for the hotel business.

Now the heads of major hotels and hotels in Chongwen District are very popular with Qiao Wanlin's accounts.

For example, the current manager of Qianmen No. 1 Hotel, I heard that Qiao Wanlin was inquiring about the storefront with a friend.

He took the initiative to find Qiao Wanlin to release his goodwill.

I am very willing to set aside one floor of my hotel and sublet it to Ning Weimin for use.

To be honest, the location of this hotel is actually quite good, and it is also very famous in history.

In August 1919, our Prime Minister came to Beijing from Tianjin to rescue students detained by the Beiyang government and lived here at that time.

The museum is a wooden structure building with a style of the Qing Dynasty, with a construction area of ​​3,200 square meters and more than 80 guest rooms (sets).

It is a relatively high-end hotel in the early Republic of China, and its original building is well preserved. It is a rare old store with the architectural style of the Qing Dynasty.

If Ning Weimin really wants to run a tobacco and liquor store here, the passenger flow will not only be sufficient, but also be able to do more business for hotel passengers.

Even if you need more places, you can rent other rooms in the hotel, which seems to be suitable no matter how you look at it.

But to be honest, if there were other mistakes, Ning Weimin would really not want to use this place.

For nothing else, just because the place is so good, the manager gives a significant discount on the price, which is obviously a benefit from the public.

If they really want to settle down here, for Qiao Wanlin, it would be like a weak point.

It also gave others a handle that might attack and annihilate him.

You know, Ning Weimin is very optimistic about Qiao Wanlin's prospects.

In his opinion, Qiao Wanlin's presence in the Service Bureau will be of much help to his future development.

That is a huge wealth and a bridge to achieve great causes.

However, he understood even more that if he could not step on the bridge without the dire straits.

In other words, such relationships require careful management and protection, which is actually a question of whether it is worth it or not.

He cannot easily consume Qiao Wanlin's energy on trivial matters that do not affect the overall situation.

Not to mention that it may affect Qiao Wanlin's own career development.

The second place is an iron shop at the west gate of Temple of Heaven Park.

Of course, this place was given to him by the leader of the Temple of Heaven Garden because he got along well with Ning Weimin.

The advantage is that the park's own place has a symbolic rent, and there will be no disturbance from industrial and commercial taxation, and it can also do tourists' business.

But the disadvantage is that it has the same hidden dangers as First Hotel.

If the company knows about this, it is easy to cause misunderstandings.

He thinks he is a person who uses the interests of the company to exchange with the park for personal gain.

What's more, it's too close to Zhai Palace. People in Zhai Palace go in and out of the West Gate of the Temple of Heaven to and from get off work.

Ning Weimin did not want his subordinates to be too clear about things other than his job.

So in the end, Ning Weimin chose the third house.
Chapter completed!
