Li Er spent one night copying twenty songs that he thought were most easily accepted by this era, and then selected two songs from these twenty songs, intending to submit them to test the waters first.
To submit an article, you must leave a contact number. Li Er does not have a landline phone at home, so it is certainly impossible for him to reveal his identity and leave a police station phone number.
The cheapest mobile phone in this era costs more than 10,000 yuan, and it is as bulky as a thermos cup. It has poor signal and short battery life. It takes two hours to charge and two minutes to talk. Li Er cannot afford it, and he is not willing to be one if he can afford it.
This is a big mistake.
Tsim Sha Tsui, digital mall.
Li Er has already inquired. It only costs 300 yuan to buy a pager, and the communication fee for the pager is fixed at 28 yuan per month, which is only 28 yuan per year!
Come on, it will cost more than 300 yuan a year. Those who engage in communications in this era are really making a lot of money.
"Hey! Pretty boy, do you want a mobile phone or a pager? There is a new model!" A smart-looking guy asked with a smile.
"Don't say goodbye to the pretty guys in front of the pretty guys, do you have any discounts?" Li Er said with a straight face.
The clerk immediately smiled and said: "Yes, there is an event today. If you buy a mobile phone, you will get a battery for free!"
Li Er: "Fuck you, don't you buy a mobile phone without a battery?"
The clerk was smiling the whole time: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll give you an extra one. Batteries are a good thing to be prepared for, the more the merrier!"
Li Er: "How about buying an all-camera machine?"
The store clerk's smile diminished: "You can also give away batteries. I'll give you a dozen AAA batteries."
Li Er: "Throw it away!"
"Three dozen!"
Store clerk: “Two dozen!”
Li Er: "Deal!"
Before even looking at the phone, Li Er had already used two dozen battery cells.
The store clerk took Li Er to the pager counter.
Li Ercai realized that he was really behind the times. He had never known that there were so many styles of pagers, and they were available in various colors of red, yellow, blue and green.
Li Er's shopping intention was very clear and he asked the store clerk: "Which one is the cheapest?"
"These, these are all vintage models from previous years." The store clerk took out three square black box models and showed them to Li Er.
Li Er: "How much is it?"
"Two hundred and eighty units! The telecommunications company's account opening fee is fifty. If you buy a phone from us, you can open an account on your behalf, for a total of three hundred and thirty." The store clerk confirmed again: "These All phones only have caller ID, but they don't have caller ID.
How to page the content of the text message!"
Li Er shrugged his shoulders indifferently. At this time, there were public phone booths everywhere on Hong Kong Island. Li Er didn't feel that he needed to read the content of the paging text message, so he could just get back on the phone.
"And don't you think these machines are too big?" the store clerk persuaded. It seems that he can't earn much commission from these machines.
Li Er picked up a pager and weighed it in his hand. This pager was indeed larger than other pagers, but the plastic body of the pager was light and did not affect carrying. Li Er opened the battery compartment and took a look.
Hehe, it can hold two AA batteries.
"No, I want this. Is this battery life better than others?" Li Erxiao asked.
"Battery life?" The store clerk thought for a moment before understanding what Li Er meant: "Indeed, these models can hold two batteries, which last longer than the new models. The batteries should be replaced about once every ten days."
‘Replace the battery once every ten days, is this called long-lasting?’ Li Er cursed in his mind.
"Don't you need an ID card to open an account?" Li Er asked.
"No, just pay, but you have to pay extra for choosing a premium account." The store clerk was about to recommend a premium account package to Li Er.
"No need to choose, just get the cheapest one."
Shopkeeper: ""
"Okay, three hundred and three, we can pay the communication fee here. How many months will it take to pay?" The store clerk has given up on making money from guys like Li Er.
"Don't worry about paying the communication fee!" Li Er waved his hand and said, "I want to buy two units, two units are 600."
The store clerk smiled bitterly: "The boss who can't do it will cost at least 650 for two machines."
Li Er: "Six hundred!"
Shopkeeper: "Six hundred and three!"
"Six hundred!" Li Er insisted.
"Six hundred and twenty, it's the lowest price. It only costs you ten yuan." The store clerk said with certainty.
Li Er shook his head: "I only have six hundred yuan."
The store clerk said: "Okay, I'll give you six hundred."
Then, Li Er, who only had 600 yuan, took out a thousand yuan from his pocket.
Shopkeeper: ""
Li Er finally bought two pagers in the store and paid the communication fee for half a year each. Before he earned even a dime, he had already spent nearly a thousand yuan. Li Er suffered internal injuries.
"Second brother, what did you buy?"
Hong Kong Island is really small. Standing in front of a digital store, Li Er met Zhu Wanfang who was shopping.
"I didn't buy anything. I'm poor and can't afford it. Just look around." Li Er said with a smile.
Zhu Wanfang glanced at the digital store behind Li Er, and pointed at the two pagers Li Er held in his hands.
"Second brother, you're lying. You obviously bought an all-camera machine." Zhu Wanfang said with a smile.
"Ahem, don't you have to go to class?" Li Er changed the subject seriously.
Zhu Wanfang said proudly: "Today is Sunday!"
"Second brother, what is your pager number? Let me remember it!"
Li Er frowned: "Why do you want my pager number?"
"It will always be useful!" Zhu Wanfang smiled sweetly.
Li Er gave one of the pager numbers to Zhu Wanfang. He bought two pagers, one for home use and the other for copying documents.
"Where's the other pager number?" After Zhu Wanfang copied Li Er's pager number, she asked strangely: "Second brother, how did you buy two pagers?"
"The other one is given away." Li Er said perfunctorily.
"Oh! Is it a girl's gift?" Zhu Wanfang asked in a low voice.
"Nothing!" Li Er glanced sideways at Zhu Wanfang.
"Hey! Boy, where are you? Do you know that Zhu Wanfang is our Brother Scar's mate?" Li Er was about to leave when he was stopped by a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old.
Li Er frowned, and the other party immediately stepped forward and pushed Li Er hard.
"George, what are you doing! He is my second brother." Zhu Wanfang said angrily.
Li Er didn't take a young boy seriously at all. He turned to look at Zhu Wanfang with disappointment in his eyes: "Zhu Wanfang, if you don't study hard, shouldn't you fall in love early at this age?"
"Second brother, I didn't!" Zhu Wanfang was so anxious that she almost burst into tears when she saw that Li Er had misunderstood her.
Li Er raised his hand and looked at his watch. He still wanted to send the song.
Li Er looked at the time and then remembered that the watch was given by his sister Zhu Wanfang, and he immediately said harmoniously: "Zhu Wanfang, go home quickly! You are a student, don't mess around with these bad guys in the future."
"Second brother, he is my classmate. I didn't mess with them. It was them who wanted to pester me." Zhu Wanfang said quickly. She had been hesitant to ask Li Er for help a few days ago, but she was afraid that it would trouble Li Er. Nothing was said.
"Boy, you're so mean!" George saw Li Er not even looking at him, and angrily slapped Li Er on the cheek.
"Sweep Tang's legs!"
Li Er quickly squatted down and then stood up.
"Bang!" George didn't know what happened, so he fell hard and fell into pieces.
Although Li Er looks gentle and harmless, he has actually killed more than one person.
'Student?' Li Er frowned and looked at George lying on the ground. How could this kid look like a student at all? He looked like a gangster. Are all the students in Hong Kong like this? No wonder Li Yi had to give Li Shiya money when he was frugal. Going to a girls' school, the quality of these students is really not reassuring.
"Second brother!" Zhu Wanfang covered her mouth and looked at Li Er in surprise. Li Er's clean movements seemed so handsome to her.
"Don't go back yet!" Li Er shouted.
"Oh!" Zhu Wanfang turned around and ran towards the corner of the street, carrying a small backpack.
"Fuck you!" George got up from the ground and found that he had fallen and knocked out a tooth on the floor. He angrily punched Li Er who turned around.
"Sweep Tang's legs!"
Li Er squatted down and stood up again without looking back.
"Snapped!"
George dropped a dog again, and this time the pain was so painful that his eyes were filled with stars. When he sat up in pain, Li Er no longer knew where he had gone.
"Chen Yongren, how are you? I just saw you selling two pagers!" A tall store clerk came over and smiled.
"You can sell whatever you want. I only made 20 yuan for a pager, and I have to open an account and pay fees as an agent. If it weren't for the bulge in that guy's waist, I really wouldn't want to do this business," Chen Yongren complained.
"A note?"
"Yeah! Very stingy!" Chen Yongren said affirmatively.
"Forget it, earning twenty is still a profit. Now I have the biggest paycheck, I have a gun in my hand, and I don't panic. Even the Young and Dangerous guys can only count as shit." The tall shop assistant said enviously.
"Forget it, I'd better not work part-time anymore, I'll try my best to get into the police academy!" Chen Yongren made up his mind.
"Really?" the tall shop assistant said in surprise: "There is a saying that means dogs are rich and noble. Don't forget each other! Brother Ren!"
"Damn it, you're just a loser." Chen Yongren lowered his head and looked at his hands. Being a policeman might be a good way out.
Li Er copied the two songs into five copies and sent them to five different record companies. He wanted to cast a wide net and catch fish wherever there was.
All that's left is to wait for everything.
As soon as Li Er returned to the police station, Wen Jianren called him into the office.
"Li Er, congratulations, you passed the exam and will be a trainee inspector from now on." Wen Jianren said with a smile on his face.
"Passed?" Although Li Er also guessed the result, he still couldn't help but be a little excited. The position of inspector is a hurdle, and the ones above are the real police officers, and below are the low-level police officers.
"You guy, you got A+ in both subjects, and you still pretend to say something to me that is only 50-60% sure." Wen Jianren laughed and cursed and threw Li Er's transcript to Li Er.
"Luck, luck!" Li Er caught the transcript and smiled.
"I bought you two packs of candies. As usual, I will give them to the guys to celebrate. Also, according to the rules of the police force, you must seize the time to set up a few tables and treat everyone to a meal." Wen Jianren reminded.
"Thank you, Sir Wen. Let's do it tonight, I'll book a table right away." Li Er said with a happy smile.
"Thank you! I spent a hundred yuan on two bags of candy!" Wen Jianren said with a smile.
‘Fuck, two packs of candy cost 100 yuan!’ Li Er knew clearly that Wen Jianren was cheating him, but he still had to pay Wen Jianren with gratitude on his face.
Today is a really bad day.
Wen Jianren was going to be transferred anyway, so he could make some money. Wen Jianren even planned to advance his birthday in the second half of the year to this month.
When Li Er distributed candies to the cid hall, everyone was stunned. Li Er was actually promoted to probationary inspector. As long as Li Er made no mistakes during his probationary period, his next step would be to become a formal inspector. How long has this guy been at cid?
While the cid police officers were happy for Li Er, they couldn't help but feel envious and jealous, and they all clamored for Li Er to treat him to dinner.
Of course Li Er had no problem and immediately called Li Xianying to join him to avoid having to treat him to a second meal in the future.
