In 1959, what's wrong with me pedaling a tricycle?

Chapter 196 How should we spend so much money?

At 11 p.m., we tallied the data and found that we had achieved a lot of results tonight. With Minister Liu's support for their night market, everyone went home happily.

When Wang Xingguo returned home, Li Xiuping and Wang Xingning were taking care of the child together.

The child was named Jianhua by the former leader, which means to build China. Although many people have this name, can the name given by the former leader be the same as the one given by the former leader?

Therefore, Wang Xingguo's son is named Wang Jianhua. In the family genealogy, he has two names: Wang Jianhua and Wang Chenghua.

Wang Xingguo chuckled and said, "Third Sister, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Wang Xingning replied, "Second brother, tomorrow is Saturday, I don't have school. I'll keep my sister-in-law company and talk to her."

Wang Xingguo nodded and then teased his son, who was still awake. He said to Wang Xingning, "Third sister, since you and Lao Si are on holiday at home, let your sister-in-law kill a chicken and make a chicken soup for you to nourish yourselves tomorrow."

Wang Xingning laughed and said, "Okay, thank you, Second Brother. I love chicken soup the most."

Li Xiuping asked, "Xingguo, how's the night market going?"

Wang Xingguo explained, "Minister Liu came over today. He was very satisfied with the night market and gave the district and municipal bureaus a good scolding. Anyway, the night market has reopened."

Li Xiuping breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, then I can rest assured. I was always worried that you would get into trouble by causing trouble with the bureau like this."

Wang Xingguo shook his head and said, "No, honey, you don't know, our Wang family also has some old leaders backing us up. Remember what I told you? Go visit Grandpa Li and Grandma Li more often and chat with them. Grandpa Li is also a high-ranking leader, one of the old leaders in our Wang family."

Li Xiuping nodded and said, "I know. I even went to chat with Grandma Li this afternoon. Grandma Li really likes our son. She hugged him and wouldn't let go."

Looking at the fair-skinned and chubby Wang Jianhua, Wang Xingguo smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course, our son is so adorable, what old man wouldn't love him?"

It's not just Wang Xingguo's boasting; Wang Jianhua really is fair-skinned and chubby, and extremely cute thanks to Li Xiuping's feeding.

Whether it was the uncles, Director Zhao, Grandpa Li, or some of the senior experts, they all liked this child very much.

Moreover, this child is so well-behaved; he doesn't cry or fuss no matter who holds him, unlike other children who start wailing as soon as they feel they're not in their mother's arms.

This little guy is naturally lovable; he never cries or fusses when anyone holds him. Who wouldn't love a child like that?

It was late, and after chatting for a while, Wang Xingguo told Wang Xingning to go back to sleep. He and Li Xiuping went back to their room and put their son to bed.

Fortunately, after coaxing the little guy for a while, he fell asleep, and Wang Xingguo and his wife breathed a sigh of relief and also fell asleep.

At four in the morning, the little guy peed and cried a few times. Wang Xingguo got up to wipe his bottom, changed his pants and wet blanket, and coaxed him for a while until he fell asleep. Wang Xingguo climbed back into bed, lay down, and fell asleep immediately.

Taking care of children is no easy task. Wang Xingguo and his wife rarely get a full night's sleep, but they are both tired and happy.

Wang Xingguo felt a great sense of accomplishment watching his son grow up little by little.

After a week of this, the district commerce bureau distributed their year-end bonuses.

There weren't many items, and it probably only cost a few thousand yuan.

But Wang Xingguo didn't care; he just wanted to vent his anger and didn't care about the benefits he could get.

He has grain, dried kelp, frozen ribbonfish and yellow croaker, and he can also get pork. These are the best year-end bonuses.

Other units might only give one or two pounds of wheat flour, but Wang Xingguo planned to give each person five pounds of wheat flour, three pounds of rice, five pounds of cornmeal, one pound of pork, and ten eggs.

This year-end bonus, along with the gifts from the district commerce bureau, is definitely one of the best year-end bonuses in Beijing these days.

Wang Xingguo wouldn't dare compare in other years, but with resources so scarce now, this is absolutely unique.

The next day, Wang Xingye bought three large, fat pigs from the village, each weighing over 120 jin (approximately 60 kg).

The clan has completed its purchase quota, but after handing over a portion of the pigs, it will not hand over the rest; instead, it will leave them all for the night market.

Wang Xingguo arranged for two pigs to be slaughtered, and the offal from both pigs was burned. Half of the offal was divided among all the employees of the night market, while the other half was distributed among the leaders and experts in the compound, as well as the families of the security personnel. Everyone received a share.

Niu Ye was quite busy tonight, leading a group of people out all night. It's only because his work permit for the night market was on the whitelist that he was caught by the patrol officers.

However, the results were remarkable; the meat from both pigs was sold and exchanged for twenty-eight small yellow croakers.

After registering, Gan Ping said with a headache, "Director Wang, if you calculate it this way, we owe the night market more than 49,000 yuan. What should we do?"

Wang Xingguo laughed and said, "It's alright, I'm not in a hurry, why are you? There's a shortage of supplies right now, and money is losing value, which is why this is happening. We'll settle the debts slowly later, we can just leave it as is."

Gan Ping nodded and said, "That's the only way. But have you considered that if the money becomes more valuable in the future, it will be even harder to pay it back?"

Wang Xingguo shook his head and said softly, "Old Gan, I plan to expand our scale after the restructuring and open trust branches on major streets. That way, it will be easy to pay back the money. For example, we can give them a few shops or yards, a batch of goods, and it will be easy to pay back."

It's actually quite easy. Anyway, Wang Xingguo isn't going to press for repayment. When it comes to the restructuring later, it would be quite appropriate to take a batch of courtyards and stores as fixed assets of his own unit.

Furthermore, Wang Xingguo has to hand over half of the profits, which can also be used to offset the debts.

He looked at the money in his secret stash, which had already reached over 130,000 yuan.

Wang Xingguo looked at the money in his spatial storage again; it amounted to a full 170,000 to 180,000.

This is a really troubling problem. How is he going to spend so much money?

However, the city bureau is also troubled by the problems at Wang Xingguo's night market. With so many debts, how many large items would they need to pay them off?

Even the most profitable commodity, pork, they can't get much of it...

So they held a meeting and ultimately decided to submit a report to their superiors, requesting instructions.

The report eventually ended up in the hands of the old leader, who reviewed it and wrote his comments.

Each major night market will be given one carriage, allowing its operators to travel to Guangzhou or Hong Kong to purchase goods for resale. A fee of 5,000 yuan will be charged for each carriage. However, foreign exchange must be exchanged at a special high rate, not the bank's rate.

When the directive was issued, both the municipal and district bureaus breathed a sigh of relief, finally resolving the matter!
