In modern society, we work overtime to deliver food every day. Although we are busy, we always feel flustered and have nowhere to go.
It's as if I don't belong to that world.
There is so much information every day that I think I know a lot, but in the end I find that it actually has nothing to do with me and only adds to my worries.
Life in the 1980s.
It is countless times more monotonous than the modern world.
But this kind of simple life makes it easier for people to immerse themselves in it and feel the taste of life.
After washing up, I went out for breakfast and ordered fried wonton buns. Even though most people were not rich in the 1980s, there were plenty of ingredients in this era, and the fried wonton buns tasted delicious.
As soon as they returned home after breakfast, Jiang Wu and Li Xiangqian came over. When they saw that the door was open, their faces suddenly showed joy.
"Brother Yi is back, I guess that's about it for today."
"Brother Yi, we are here."
Jiang Wu came in shouting loudly. As soon as he entered the room, this guy saw the things placed on the cabinet. His eyes suddenly lit up and he rushed over.
"Holy shit, there's a dual-card tape recorder with four speakers, and a TV. Brother Yi, you got these all back!"
Lin Yi hid everything else, leaving only a TV and a dual-card tape recorder. He had been fighting for a lifetime and enjoyed himself first.
Since I am using it myself, I must use the best one. The recorder has dual SIM cards and four speakers, and the TV is the largest 21-inch Sony color TV.
"How's it going? Do you like it?" Lin Yi said to Jiang Wudi with a smile.
"Of course I like it. A friend of mine got a dual-card tape recorder. It's so precious. If he has nothing to do, he can ask girls to go to his house to listen to music. If he has this, it will be much easier to find a girlfriend. But his one, Brother Biyi Yours is far worse, twice as small."
This guy,
The first reaction is to find a woman.
"Brother Yi, the inspection on the road was so strict, how did you get this big guy back?" Jiang Wu asked curiously.
"I have a friend who works on the railway. I dragged him here secretly." Lin Yi told a little lie.
"Brother Yi still has a way." Jiang Wu extended his thumb.
Li Xiangqian was more interested in the TV. When he saw it clearly, he was surprised: "Brother Yi, is this a color TV?"
"Yes, color TV, but there is no antenna, so I can't watch it for now. I'm going to build a big pole and get an antenna today, so we can watch TV at night." Lin Yi said.
"Great, you can watch big color TV at night." Jiang Wu said excitedly.
Pressing the button of the recorder, Teresa Teng's singing sounded. Jiang Wu held the recorder and felt intoxicated as he listened.
"Brother Yi, how much does this tape recorder cost?"
"Five hundred and eight."
"It's expensive enough, but I have to buy one when I save enough money." Jiang Wu touched the tape recorder and it was obvious that he liked it very much.
After studying the TV recorder, they started talking about business. In the past two days, the two of them contacted many customers. The person-to-person sales method was very effective. Many people automatically became their salespeople because of the two yuan commission.
For example, Jiang Wu's former workshop director helped Jiang Wu sell five digital watches. After receiving the 10 yuan, his enthusiasm became more and more intense, and he even mobilized his relatives and friends to promote it.
By the way, why is it that Jiang Wu, the former workshop director, resigned. The salary of 19 yuan and 8 a month was already despised by this guy. However, he did not tell his family because he was afraid that his parents would be angry, so he planned to wait until later. Make more money and then talk about it when you have the confidence.
Isn’t it also about making money when he goes to work? When he sees that he gets the money back, his parents will naturally not say anything.
Making money is business.
The two took the electronic watch and went out to deliver it.
Lin Yi was not idle either, preparing to build a TV antenna.
Nowadays, very few people have TV sets, and there are no ready-made antennas on the market, but this does not trouble him.
Lin Yi went to the department store and bought two of the largest cast aluminum grates, the kind used on large iron pots, with a diameter of 70 centimeters, and then bought dozens of meters of wire. There was no professional antenna wire to make them together.
I left my things at home and headed to the farmer's market.
He didn't buy chickens or ducks. Instead, he bought a big bamboo, more than ten meters high, and asked someone to help him transport it home.
Dig a hole near the corner of the house, find an iron pipe slightly thicker than moso bamboo from the utility room at home, bury it in the hole and compact it.
In this way, the Penny Antenna is inserted and can be rotated to find the signal.
Two cast aluminum grates were fixed on the thin end of the moso bamboo. After wrapping the wires, the antenna was basically ready. The bamboo poles were too heavy. Although Lin Yi was strong and healthy, he couldn't lift them by himself. Waiting for Xiao Wu or Xiang Xiang
Let’s talk about it later.
"Brother Yi, I'm back."
Li moved forward and carried the bicycle into the house.
"Just in time, come over and help me put up the antenna." Lin Yi said.
Li looked forward at the antenna and said with a smile, "It feels similar to the one made by the communications company in the army."
"The principles are the same."
The two of them erected the antenna together, inserted it into the iron pipe, ran the wire into the house, connected the buckle and inserted it into the signal receiving port.
Press the TV switch.
Swish, brush, brush~!
Snowflakes flashed on the TV.
Lin Yi began to adjust the channel patiently. After a while, the picture flashed out. It was the animal world. A leopard was running hard to catch an antelope. To Lin Yi, the quality of this picture was far worse than that of later generations, but Li Xiangqian was instantly attracted.
.
"How's the sales going?" Lin Yi asked.
Li Xiangqian rummaged through his satchel and took out a wad of money, "There have been more than a dozen orders in the past two days. There are five hundred and sixty in total here."
He handed the money to Lin Yi and looked at the TV again.
Lin Yi counted the money, put it into his pocket, and put it into the system wallet.
"Are you still going in the afternoon?"
"Go, I'll bring two or three watches and start spinning." Li Xiangqian said.
No matter how good the TV is, it is not as important as making money.
afternoon,
Jiang Wu also came back and saw a TV show. He hugged the TV and refused to leave. Lin Yi kicked him away and said, "I will let you watch as much as you want tonight."
"Hehe, okay."
When they came back in the evening, Lin Yi had already prepared dinner, which was very sumptuous, including wine, meat and vegetables. The three of them drank while watching TV programs.
"Drinking wine, eating meat, and watching the big color TV, this is a life that can only be found in dreams." Jiang Wu clicked his tongue.
"At least you dare to dream. I don't even dare to dream." Li Xiangqian said.
After the previous program was played, a piece of music was played and the translated film began to play, "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic", the title is an American science fiction feature film.
Jiang Wu and Li Xiangqian were completely attracted by the story. They put down their wine glasses and stared straight at the TV without moving.
Lin Yi had heard of this TV series before. It was said that it was the first TV series introduced after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States.
Jiang and Wu were attracted by the plot, but also by the customs and customs of the United States. "Brother Yi, do you think the United States is really like this? There are so many high-rise buildings and villas and houses."
As the boss of capitalism, the United States is indeed the strongest today. In 1979, China and the United States established diplomatic relations, and the door to the world was opened, allowing people of this era to see a kaleidoscope of the world. Some people secretly encouraged themselves and decided to work hard to become stronger, and also to push themselves.
As the country has developed like this, some people want to go to such a place to enjoy life, which has also led to a crazy trend of going abroad in the next few years.
"I've never been to the United States. How would I know that letting you watch TV is not just for fun? Have you seen any business opportunities in the TV series?" Lin Yi asked the two of them.
"Business?"
Both of them were confused.
Can you spot business opportunities by watching a TV series?
"Do you think the protagonist is very chic?" Lin Yi guided the two of them.
"Indeed, this guy's movements around Toad Mirror are indeed quite handsome." Jiang Wu said.
Lin Yi smiled softly, "As soon as this TV series is released, do you think there will be many people imitating the male protagonist in wearing sunglasses? Sunglasses will definitely be popular for a while in the future."
The two of them were stunned after hearing this.
"Yeah, just now I was thinking about where to get some sunglasses to dress up. Why didn't I think that this is a business and Brother Yi is so good?" Jiang Wu immediately flattered him.
The TV series is over,
transformed into a concert,
None of the three elders were interested in this, but Jiang Wu still couldn't bear to leave, so the three of them just listened to the concert, drank and chatted.
Today is a day,
They finished all the reservations they had left over the past few days and sold a total of more than 30 electronic watches and four quartz watches.
Lin Yi accounted for more than 1,500.
And all this money is costless.
In this era, making money every day is definitely a good thing.
...
"Brother Yi, will we also sell tape recorders and TVs in the future?" Jiang Wu asked.
"Selling, but these things are troublesome to transport, so we can only test the water for the time being. We still focus on watches. This time I not only bought electronic watches and quartz watches, but also some Japanese original mechanical watches. The Shanghai Plum Blossom costs 120 a piece. These mechanical watches sell for 110, and no tickets are required."
Two people at one head.
...
the next day.
Jiang Wu and Li Xiangqian went out early with a few watches. They had made hundreds of dollars before and felt that they were already very rich. When they saw the tape recorder and TV set that Lin Yi had brought back, they knew that this little money was nothing now. The passion for making money is rising again.
The two of them go out early and come back late every day, sometimes even working until ten o'clock in the evening. The money they make from selling goods every day is given to Lin Yi when they come back, and they never keep it for themselves.
These two days,
Lin Yi bought a new bicycle.
Jiang Wu exchanged a bicycle ticket on the black market and bought a brand new Phoenix 28 big bar in the store.
The two of them paid again that day. Lin Yi habitually put the money into the system wallet, and suddenly a system prompt sounded in his mind.
"The recharge amount exceeds 10,000 yuan, and new products appear in the system mall."
