Chapter 340 Installing a Phone

The sock factory in my hometown has already installed a telephone. I really hope that my home in Beijing can also install a telephone, so that communication between the two places will be convenient.

It's a pity that even in the capital city in this era, private phone calls are not as easy to pretend as they want.

Although there were residential areas with small exchanges installed in Beijing in 1982, there are only about 800 private residential telephones in Beijing until now.

Liu Xinyu went to the post and telecommunications office to ask if she could apply to install a private phone in this area, but the answer she received was that there was no line yet.

If you really need it, you can run a dedicated line, but the installation cost will be very high.

Although Liu Xinyu is really not short of money, the high installation fee still makes her a little discouraged.

When making long distance calls from home, we usually make an appointment at the time and go to the shared phone booth in advance.

The shared phone here is not the shared phone at the newsstand in Changchun Alley. It is a shared phone with no one to manage its own coin. If there is an emergency at home, it is really difficult to find someone.

After careful consideration, Liu Xinyu decided to install the phone, so she planned to go to the post and telecommunications office to make long distance calls today and go through the procedures for installing the phone.

"I plan to install a phone here, will you install it over there?" Liu Xinyu pushed the bicycle out and looked at Zhang Hongliang who was pushing the bicycle to accompany her to the post and telecommunications office.

Zhang Hongliang wanted to pretend, after all, it was very convenient to contact him with the phone, but he didn't have that much money on hand.

Seeing Zhang Hongliang's troubled face, Liu Xinyu instantly understood his predicament and thought that it was now a sales store of a furniture factory. If a phone could be installed, it would be good for the store's business.

So he smiled and said: "How about installing one? It's best to install one at the furniture factory. To start a business, contact is very important. How about discussing it with everyone?"

Zhang Hongliang thought for a while and felt that what Liu Xinyu said was very reasonable. Phones must be installed sooner or later. It is cheaper to install two phones at one time than to install only one phone.

When Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hongliang entered the third courtyard, they saw Liu Xinjian digging the soil with a shovel, while Fang Qia, an old man, was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea. The two couldn't help shaking their heads.

Liu Xinyu shouted to Liu Xinjian to stop and asked him to come to the pavilion with Fang Carpenter to discuss the matter.

When Liu Xinyu brought up the matter of installing a telephone, Carpenter Fang didn't even react. Fang Qia had already shouted, "Installing a telephone? Yes, yes, I agree with both hands!"

Liu Xinjian said nothing. Of course he hoped to install a phone at home so that he could not only be found at home, but also make it easier for his classmates in the dormitory to contact him, so that they would not keep saying that he had left the group.

But it would cost me a lot to install a phone, and he still owes me three thousand yuan.

With no money and no human rights, he still kept his mouth shut and spoke less.

At this time, Carpenter Fang spoke slowly: "It's really convenient to have a phone. Just call us if you need any furniture, and the factory can deliver it to the city, which saves time and effort. But how will you pay for installing the phone? I heard

It’s too expensive.”

Liu Xinyu looked at Zhang Hongliang. She was not a shareholder of the furniture factory. She had affairs with the furniture factory, so of course she would not interrupt.

Zhang Hongliang understood the meaning in Liu Xinyu's eyes, smiled lightly, and made a suggestion that was not mature.

Carpenter Fang frowned tightly. The furniture factory was located in his old yard. Although the telephone installation fee there was not as expensive as in the city, and the lines were not as tight as in the city, it still cost at least 2,000 yuan.

If my family contributes half of it, it will still cost one thousand yuan.

Although the furniture business seems to be quite profitable now, the business has just started and the money has not yet been made.

I have already paid out three thousand, and now I have to pay out another thousand. My mother-in-law is probably going to go crazy.

Fang Qia glanced at Zhang Hongliang, then at Carpenter Fang, and thought for a moment: "Since these two phones are installed for business, of course the installation fee will be shared equally between the four of us."

If two phones are shared equally among four, the money to pay is more than just one thousand yuan.

I heard that the installation fee in the city costs 4,000 to 5,000, which is more than twice as expensive as in the suburbs.

Carpenter Fang's face turned a little yellow. He was afraid that his mother-in-law wouldn't be willing to pay for just one thousand. No matter how much it was, he didn't dare to mention it to her!

Zhang Hongliang shook his head and felt that it was too urgent to install the phone now. After all, the business had just started and the money had not been made yet.

but!

Zhang Hongliang glanced at Liu Xinyu and felt a little sorry for Liu Xinyu.

He missed the opportunity to install a telephone with Liu Xinyu in his courtyard house. It might be cheaper to install it next time, but Liu Xinyu's cost of installing a telephone would be greatly increased.

Liu Xinyu already understood in her heart that it was indeed a bit reluctant to ask the furniture factory to install telephones with her now. If it could be delayed for half a year, or even two months, Carpenter Fang would not be so embarrassed, because at the current rate at which the furniture factory is making money,

It takes almost two months to earn back the 3,000 yuan everyone invested.

Of course, she also understood what Zhang Hongliang meant, so she smiled sweetly and said: "The furniture factory hasn't made any money yet, and there are so many places that need money. It's really early to install telephones now. Well, I'll go to the post and telecommunications office first.

I want to ask, how much does it cost to install a phone now? Maybe like the last time I asked, it will take a few months to install it. By then, maybe the factory has already made a lot of money, but it still has no money to install the phone?"

Although Liu Xinyu is not involved in the furniture factory, there would be no furniture factory without Liu Xinyu. It was Liu Xinyu's suggestion to renovate old furniture. The best-selling new furniture at present is Liu Xinyu's design, so Liu Xinyu has the right to speak in the eyes of the shareholders of the furniture factory.

The presence.

Although Liu Xinyu is basically not involved in the furniture factory's business, her words carry a lot of weight.

Fang Carpenter heard from Liu Xinyu's words that he would not let the furniture factory install telephones now, and he was immediately relieved. Moreover, what he loved to hear most was that the furniture factory made a lot of money, so as soon as Liu Xinyu finished speaking, Fang Carpenter laughed loudly.

Laughing: "With Dr. Liu's words, the furniture factory will definitely make a lot of money, and then both phones will be installed together!"

Although the results were somewhat unsatisfactory, we still had to go to the post office.

"Do you want to go together? The National Day will be in a few days. This year is the 35th anniversary of the National Day, and it will be very lively. I plan to call my grandparents and persuade them to come to the capital for a few days." Liu Xinyu glanced at Liu Xinyu

New road.

Liu Xinjian glanced at the hole he dug just now and realized that the soil here was too strong for Liu Xinyu's generous efforts. He dug for more than half an hour, but he could only dig a shallow layer of soil.

Liu Xinyu had long known that this would be the result, so she would not leave Liu Xinjian here to suffer such unnecessary suffering. She glared at Liu Xinjian and deliberately distorted the truth: "You don't want grandma and grandma to come to the capital, right?

"

Liu Xinjian jumped up anxiously: "Sister, please don't accuse me wrongly. My grandparents are willing to come, and it's too late for me to be happy! It's best to bring my parents and younger brothers and sisters together, so that they can all learn a lot!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you pack up and leave together?!" Liu Xinyu said and gave Liu Xinjian a fierce look.
