Drucker's statements were almost unheard of in China in 1986, or even if recited loudly in one's ear, they would not attract any attention. Chinese enterprises are still far away from the words of this management master.

In 1986, China announced for the first time that private ownership of cars was allowed (interestingly, it was also the same year that the Soviet Union announced that taxis could be operated by private individuals, and both socialist countries began market-oriented experiments almost simultaneously, although they later chose two different models). However, at that time, private cars were rarely used for consumption, and buyers were mostly used for transportation or as taxis. In November, the first "Z" - shaped private self owned car license plate number 0001 was born in Shanghai. Subsequently, private cars began to emerge in coastal cities such as Shenzhen and Guangzhou, as well as cities with car production factories such as Changchun and Chongqing.

People are starting to focus more on how to make money, and some novel industries have emerged. Using letters to communicate was the most important way of communication for people at that time, and this year, many people received letters only to find that the stamps attached to them had disappeared. In cities such as Chongqing and Shanghai, reselling and speculating on stamps is becoming an emerging business. Outside the doors of many city post offices, a stamp trading market has formed. An 8-cent monkey ticket issued in 1980 can be sold for 25 yuan, with a value increase of over 300 times in just six years. The speculators of these stamps will soon become the main force of another type of ticket - stocks.
