Starting A Business From A Self-Employed Person

That year, Liu Guixian was 47 years old, the mother of 5 children. She was carefree and honest. A reporter for UPI, Miss lung, interviewed her in the autumn of 1980. He wrote, "in the heart of Communist China, delicious food and private business are recovering in narrow alleys." Liu Guixian, a mother worried about her future career, opened her "Yue Bin Restaurant" in October of this year. Her restaurant is the first private restaurant in Beijing in more than 20 years. At the beginning, the condition of the restaurant was relatively poor. There was only one house and three tables. The 31 square meter house was the original family room. The excitement and vertigo in the rush, the helplessness and fear of falling, the display of success and the chagrin after failure. Liu Guixian spent 1100 yuan on this restaurant. Her husband borrowed 100 yuan from her. She spent 500 yuan on her savings, and the bank paid her 500 yuan as a business expense. For Liu Guixian, a huge obstacle is to pass the labyrinth of some government bureaucrats. She said: "at the beginning, we could not decide whether we should apply for a business license." However, an old friend who worked in the government advised her to apply. It took Liu Guixian 6 months to get through the government's procrastination procedures, and her shop finally opened in October 7th. Liu Guixian decided to open a restaurant on his own because of two sons who had been unemployed for 2 years. Years later, when asked why she opened a restaurant, she said, "Hey, try to pull up a couple of kids and let them have dinner." According to the 1980 edition of UPI, Liu Guixian used the charm of northern China to receive customers. The restaurant in the Cui Hua alley was painted with new plastic sheets, the floor was cement, and the whole house glittering with neon lights. But on the day of the Press Union, the fridge had not yet arrived. Liu Guixian told reporters that one day she could install electric fans on the ceiling, replace wooden stools with chairs, and put new tablecloths on the table. Liu Guixian can cook more than 70 different dishes, including some famous dishes such as bear's paw and bird's nest. But she is best at duck. She can make eight different dishes with ducks. Liu Guixian clearly remembered that the first day of opening was 4 ducks bought with 36 yuan left for the family. Crispy duck, spicy duck and stir fried duck. Liu Guixian's duck all over the day. Her wife, uncle Guo, still remembers the scene of the opening day. When he came home from work, he entered the alley and was full of people. This even made him wonder if something had happened. When he entered the house, he knew that he had come to eat. He refused to go after the food was sold out, and customers crowded around the door had to eat because there were too few tables. The restaurant attracted many customers. On the first day of the opening, Liu Guixian recalled 220 customers, and another 100 people ordered meals. On the first day of closing, she had received 130 yuan. Obviously, the restaurant business is much better than originally expected. A Japanese daily news reporter came to visit the Yue Bin Restaurant and waited for a long time to sit in the shop. Liu Guixian had to rush away from the neighbor's house for a few spoons of noodles to make a face. The Japanese reporter ate two large bowls. Liu Guixian's restaurant food is very cheap. According to the news of the Union Press, a soup and a dish costs only 48 cents, and at that time the government run restaurants usually cost 60 cents to buy them. Liu Guixian later recalled, "at that time, he did not have a business head". At that time, a large dish of ducks sold 6 jiao, 6 yuan of fish flavored pork and 1 yuan and 8 cents of cabbage soup made of duck shelves. Even the price of raw materials has risen, and the price of vegetables has not changed. To make a table, the standard set is 7 yuan per person, chicken, duck, fish, shrimp, sea cucumber and everything. The foreigners who came to eat all thought the dishes were too cheap, so Liu Guixian would pay for it. They had a much higher price in the state-run restaurant than the "Yue bin". 20 years later, Liu Guixian's 4 ducks will become tens of millions of assets, she also sat on the "Audi", in the suburbs of Beijing built an antique quadrangle. Her children also opened two restaurants, a wooden factory and an antique shop. "I have never been in love in my life. A small restaurant has 4 generations, sitting on a car and living in a quadrangle." Liu Guixian said later. In the past more than 20 years, Liu Guixian has been rated as "advanced individual industrial and commercial household" for many times. In 2002, he was also appraised by the Beijing municipal government as "Beijing's advanced individual industrial and commercial households". However, in 1980, what she most worried about was that "policy" would change, and she was shot dead by a shot. But by the Spring Festival of 1981, her worries were finally put down. This year's new year's day, two vice premier Yao Yilin and Chen Muhua came to Liu Guixian's Yue Bin Restaurant. Liu Guixian's memory of the scene was still fresh. Yao Yilin and Chen Muhua sat in the restaurant for a long time. They first inspected the restaurant, looked at the restaurant's business situation, and encouraged Liu Guixian to do a good job. After watching the menu of the restaurant, Yao Yilin also suggested that Liu Guixian not go to cook hot dishes, but also make some cold dishes that can be drunk. This can meet the different needs of customers and make more money. After they left, Liu Guixian put a half hour 2 sack of firecrackers. This year, Liu Guixian also opened a bigger restaurant, Yuexian restaurant not far away from the yuebin restaurant. Liu Guixian later founded the Hong Xi wood industry company and became the biggest purchaser of Beijing rosewood antique. She will be the first generation self-employed representative after China's reform and opening up. However, not all self-employed families are as smooth as Liu Guixian. This is the taste Museum opened in Shanghai in July 12th this year. Chen Guigen was 26 years old. He was the 70 middle school graduate. He retired from the countryside in 1974 and returned to Shanghai. In April, he applied to the Jingan District industrial and commercial bureau for a business as a self-employed restaurant, and was approved in June 18th. This is the 001 business license of Shanghai's individual catering industry. Besides Chen Guigen, his second brother, sister-in-law and fiancee participated in the preparations. They borrowed 3000 yuan from their relatives and friends and sold refrigerators, electric fans and some household appliances and restaurant utensils. Their shop is a 20 square meter house they live in, which is very small, and can only put down 4 small tables and 16 chairs. In July 12th, the delicious restaurant opened and business was very good. Even some foreigners and overseas Chinese came to visit and eat. According to the August report of Wen Wei Po, the monthly turnover of the small restaurant can reach about 3000 yuan. After deducting the tax revenue, "the monthly profit is considerable." However, there is much discussion about this shop in Shanghai. Some people think that this is legal, but their income is too high for these people to get rich first. "Can we embody the superiority of socialism?" Others believe that we must allow ourselves to find a way out, but the size, scope, management and policy issues of self-employed individuals still need to be studied. Chen Guigen, the second brother of Chen Yungen, is a chef in a state-run hotel. He helped his brother Chen Guigen in his spare time. Some people question "can we do second jobs like capitalist countries under the socialist system?" People in Jingan District catering company also said that Chen Yungen's "day like a worm and a dragon at night" had a bad effect on the staff and workers of state-run enterprises. People from the housing authority also believe that when housing is changed into storefront, the rent should be increased according to the standard of business premises. According to the Inland Revenue Department, the tax standard of this shop can not be taken care of by the self-employed person. It should mention 5% from 3% and levy income tax. Even the Jingan District industry and Commerce Bureau also felt that "it seems that some problems need to be studied and resolved", because when they were approved to open their shop, they thought it was a small heart shop, selling noodles, wonton, and so on. In fact, Chen Jia is also a hotel family. Chen family is a big family. Chen Guigen has 5 brothers and 3 sisters. Before the founding of the people's Republic of China, Chen Guigen's parents opened the "Shun Hongxing noodles restaurant" on the ground floor of the "delicious Museum", the three storey residential building, and the customers of Shun Hung Hing. In 1958, "Shun Hung Hing" public-private partnership, the hotel closed, his mother went to the state catering company to work, and his father opened a cigarette paper shop. In the cultural revolution, Chen family, a small proprietor, has been copied from home. Chen Guigen's brother Chen Fugen has become a gangster in the community because of his lack of discipline. He was sent to prison two times in 1968 and 1978. In October 1980, Chen Guigen and some of his family members were also sent to Beijing by special cars. They were received by the central leadership. But soon, Chen Guigen was suddenly taken away by the public security organ. Only 3 months after the birth of the museum, the license was revoked. In April 1981, after Chen Fugen was released from prison, the Museum of taste was reopened, but Chen Guigen had no intention of operating at this time. He was eager to return his business license. Chen Fugen replaced Chen Guigen as a new owner. But by the end of 1982, in order to cooperate with the rebuilding project of the next hospital, the "delicious restaurant" was forced to suspend business, and the hospital subsidized the hotel 500 yuan per month. Chen Fugen, who had nothing to do, was arrested for theft in early 1983. This time coincides with the nationwide "heavy crackdown", the owner of Chen Fugen, the owner of the museum, was sentenced to life imprisonment. Chen Fugen was sentenced to 18 years' imprisonment in 1991 (from 1991). In April 1997, he was granted parole. Since he was taken away, the "001" private restaurant in Shanghai has never opened the door, although there are four or five individual restaurants on its side. In October 10, 1997, the museum opened third times in 17 years. In twenty-first Century, on the west side of Urumqi Road, Huashan Road, Shanghai, the small restaurants along the street row upon row, and the "delicious restaurant" is placed in it, and the signboards are mottled. In this year, the news of encouraging self-employed people has been seen in many newspapers throughout the country. Even Hongkong's Ta Kung Pao has said that Beijing's personal stores are popular and the service attitude is good. Liu Wanchun, owner of an individual barber shop in Jinsha Fang street, Xicheng District, Beijing, even worked for a customer until 11 in the evening, which was impossible in the previous state-run barber shop. Liu Wanchun's salary in this 1 month period is 150 yuan, equivalent to that of 3 workers in the ordinary factory at that time for 3 months, or equivalent to 1 months' wages for the thirteen level and the rank cadres. Qiao Tianmin of Beijing actually avoided the inspection during the cultural revolution. He and his wife's "eight Li Zhuang Tian Yi inn" insisted on business for more than 20 years. Now, people's Daily said, "people need such a" couples' Inn ". Zhang Suzhen of Beijing's grain and alley brought three sewing machines into the already crowded bedroom and set up a private western style sewing shop. The Associated Press reporter said, "she is making money, and it is also creating a history of Chinese economy." In the summer of this year, the economic circle of Beijing held a forum on the structure of the ownership of means of production in China. Many scholars believe that "under the condition of maintaining the absolute superiority of socialist public ownership, allowing the development of individual economy in a certain range and to a certain extent will be beneficial to the active market, the satisfaction of people's needs and the expansion of employment." Theorists stress that "we cannot equate the individual economy with capitalism, or think that it will inevitably generate capitalism." At present, in Shanghai and Liaoning, there are more than 10000 individual businesses in cities and towns. At the end of June, only more than 3300 self-employed licences were issued in Shenyang, Fuxin and Dandong. In Fuzhou, private traders who once used to be "the tail of capitalism" have been operating in secret or covertly. Now, they can finally operate according to the general layout of the city's commercial outlets, at the designated locations in the relevant departments, at the prescribed prices. However, they also need to abide by the "five criteria": fixed point, pricing, quality setting, fixed volume and business scope. Moreover, they are also educated to pay attention to hygiene and do not affect traffic when stall. Now, even in remote South Yunnan, from Kunming to Xishuangbanna, Yunnan can be seen as a stranger to business. Most of these people came from Sichuan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. These people who go far and wide to do business are very curious about the locals. They do all kinds of small businesses, including sewing shoes, glasses, and even denture. The machine for sewing shoes is mostly produced in Zhejiang now, because these products are very cheap in Zhejiang, and it is said that the company can produce them. The impact of Zhejiang businessmen and Zhejiang made products on the whole country and even the international market will not be obvious until a few years later.
