152. Color TV arrives at home to steal the limelight
In the evening, Guo Yongkun went to the Red Heart Ballroom to talk on the phone.
After receiving the call, Datou's voice was obviously a little excited, "Mr. Guo, is there any errand to be handed over to me?"
Guo Yongkun made this relationship last year, thinking that he would not be here in the future, if Ouyang Xiao had anything to do there, at least there would be someone who ran errands.
But nothing happened after that, and I haven't contacted the other party.
"I still want to get you a TV. ”
In these years, it is not easy to buy black and white TVs, not to mention color TVs, all imported Xibei goods, and the supply is in short supply.
Guo Yongkun over there in Hedong hasn't noticed it, but it seems that the best color TV on the market is only 14 inches.
It still feels small.
After all, he's used to seeing 80-inch plasma.
"Oh, you want a gift?"
"Nope. This time it's for my own use, and I'm going to take one back. ”
"Oh, it's the same one from last time?"
Guo Yongkun thought about it and asked, "How many inches is the largest color TV you can get?"
"21 inches. ”
"How much?" Guo Yongkun paused.
"21 Ah. ”
I'll it, that's okay!
Guo Yongkun was originally estimated to be 18 inches tall.
"What brand?"
"It's also Hitachi. The main other brands of countries are not imported, and the guys who have crossed the sea are too lazy to do it, and few people dare to buy it. ”
I see.
Think about it, too, if you suddenly take out something that the official doesn't have, isn't it a clear way to tell people that it's not the right way?
"Then 21-inch Hitachi, what's the market?"
"Estimate two or three thousand, I have to ask specifically. ”
"Okay, you can help me cut the price, I will definitely not treat you badly, and then check it carefully, get a good one, and pull it to the Baiyun Hotel." I'll make a note of your phone number and contact you in advance. ”
"That'...... All right. ”
Business is like this, once born and twice cooked, trust each other, and there will be a third time.
For the big head, Guo Yongkun is probably still trusted, and people must make money, but there is not too much money.
......
Two days later.
Guo Yongkun and his entourage set off for home.
The main reason is that buying tickets has been delayed for some time, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, and there are many people returning from Yangcheng. He would have liked to fly, but it was obviously unrealistic.
In the end, I had to buy an express sleeper.
"Is everything hidden?"
After getting off the two sea lion vans, standing on the side of the road, looking at the smoky Yangcheng Railway Station on the opposite side, Guo Yongkun looked around at the twelve people beside him, and asked.
"That's it!"
The crowd whispered in response.
In the 80s, the train station was very chaotic, and the most chaotic of them was Yangcheng Railway Station.
Their group is too eye-catching, first of all, they are brightly dressed, and secondly, they are carrying several heavy packages, Haozi and Mazi are also carrying a large color TV - although it is wrapped in black cloth, but the boxy appearance, the discerning person will know what it is at a glance.
All of this shows that they are wealthy.
So even if there were thirteen people in a group, Guo Yongkun still didn't dare to take it lightly, and went to the department store yesterday to buy a batch of fruit knives, and one of them hid one on his body.
"Let's go, shake off a little bit!"
Guo Yongkun watched the surging flow of people and rushed over first.
A group of young people stayed in the Baiyun Hotel for a few days, and they all treated Sven. It can be seen how much the environment affects people.
However, no matter what era it is, it is not good to be too docile when you are away from home.
Mencius said that human nature is good. Xunzi advocated the theory of malignancy. But in Guo Yongkun's view, everyone is born different, some people are kind by nature, and some people are born sinister. And your over-kindness can always arouse the sinister of others.
The world is kind on the one hand, and malicious on the other.
Walking the rivers and lakes, you have to be horizontal!
A group of thirteen strong young men, all of them shook their arms, and walked out of the pace of dragging and bombing the sky, objectively speaking, it was quite shocking.
The eyeballs have attracted a lot, but there is really no one who is brave enough to step forward and brush the tiger's whiskers.
When the people around them were looking at their group, Guo Yongkun also looked around.
He saw a thin young man, standing in the crowd, grabbing a woman's backpack in a dignified manner, not letting the other party go, holding his head high, and being arrogant.
The passengers passing by next to them all subconsciously avoided and turned a blind eye.
"Damn, that's too blatant!"
Wang Ziqiang also noticed that he was suddenly a little angry, and when he was about to make a move, he was stopped by Guo Yongkun with his hand raised.
It's not that he doesn't have the chivalrous heart to help him when he sees injustice, if he really changes to the heart of a twenty-year-old, he will inevitably rush forward, but life is ups and downs, and countless experiences tell him that it is very irrational to act rashly.
Because he can see from the scrawny appearance of the perpetrator that he is definitely an addict.
There is no rationality in such people.
And dare to be so blatant, most of them have some support.
Can you imagine being besieged by a gang of addicts?
You must know that they have a million cash on them, and once they are detected by the other party, it will be a situation of endless death.
The group entered the waiting room smoothly, which means that it is almost safe.
No matter how evil spreads, it will not dare to face the authorities, and the waiting room is like a safe haven for passengers.
About half an hour later, they entered the station to board the train.
The train sleepers in this year were also quite shabby, not the kind of boxes of later generations, even if there were two beds in one room.
It's airy, it's the same carriage, it's just that the seats are replaced with iron-framed bunk beds, and that's it.
The thirteen of them basically occupied half of the carriage, even if some eyes were still looking at their packages and TVs, it didn't matter, no one dared to try the edge.
Guo Yongkun made a slight distribution, a group of four, divided into three groups, and took turns to sleep to ensure that the money bag did not leave the sight of his own people.
......
Guo Xiaomei has been very unhappy recently.
I was scolded every day, my mother scolded me, and my eldest brother scolded me.
Who is she recruiting to provoke whom?,Doesn't she just want a TV?,School is on vacation.,The homework process hasn't fallen behind.,What's wrong with watching TV in your spare time?
Of course, the main reason is that the newspaper has already published that there will be a "Spring Festival Gala" this year.
She really wanted to see it.
Can't you still run Tongtong's house to rub the TV in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, right?
"Stingy!"
The sun was out of the door, and she sat on a small pony, in front of her was a chair with a backrest, and her homework was placed on the chair surface, and she kept complaining while writing and drawing.
"A miser, a miser!"
The family is obviously rich, and she knows very well that no one in the entire community is richer than her family.
The eldest brother didn't say it, the commissary is running a good business, and it can earn more than 100 yuan every month, and the news has spread. But I begged for a few days, let him buy a TV, but he refused, saying that he had already applied for installation, and he wanted to save money to install a phone.
Speaking of her mother alone, it is simply a lot of money.
You don't have to save up for a phone, do you?
begged grandpa to sue grandma, let her pay a few hundred yuan, buy a 9-inch black-and-white TV like the Tongtong family, and she didn't agree to die, it was like asking for her life.
I don't understand her at all, a teenager and child, lying in the homework pile every day, what fun is there in life?
"Xiaojuan. ”
A voice came from upstairs.
Guo Xiaomei looked up weakly, "What's wrong?"
Hao Tongtong smiled and said: "Have you heard, Brother Wanyou went to the department store early in the morning to buy a TV, it is said that he wants to buy a 14-inch TV, he should be back soon, do you want to go and see it?"
When Guo Xiaomei heard the bad news, she almost didn't cry.
Even a vegetable vendor's family bought a TV, and it was still a 14-inch TV, the first one in the entire community.
When will it be her turn to be at home?
"Are you going to play or not, do you squeak?"
Although I know that there was a wave of envy, jealousy and hatred in the past, it is too inhumane to have a lively scene.
"Let's go!"
While her mother didn't find out, Guo Xiaomei's books were closed, and Hao Tongtong who came down from upstairs was dragged away, and she ran away.
There have been a lot of people gathered under the broken building of the community, Zhong Wanyou and his father Zhong Laohan, and even brought out firecrackers.
Their old Zhong family has always had a low sense of existence in the community, and it's rare to have any festive events, it's not about the New Year, and I heard that there is a gala to watch this year, and the family has a total of them, planning to buy a TV.
First of all, your family has a good time, and in addition, you can ease the relationship between neighbors.
He knew very well in his heart that although his youngest son was not breaking the law by selling vegetables, his neighbors looked down on him.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
I don't know who suddenly howled, everyone tiptoed to look, but no, at the end of the road, a three-wheeled car was slowly coming, followed by a person on each side of the rear bucket, like a humming two generals, who is not the Zhong family brother?
"Big brother, look, look, people are also two brothers, and our family is also two brothers, why do people have a chance. You and the third brother should reflect on it. ”
Such a lively thing, Guo Yongnian in the canteen opposite naturally came out. Seeing this scene, Guo Xiaomei pulled Hao Tongtong to walk next to him, and said hatefully.
"It's not like we can't afford it. "Guo Yongnian didn't have a good airway.
"Then you should buy it!"
Guo Xiaomei became more and more angry, if she really couldn't afford it, she just hated to cast the wrong baby. The key is whether you can afford to buy it or not, who do you envy, and who should you envy?
She's about to graduate from high school, and she hasn't had a TV in her entire childhood, so when she looks back on it when she gets old, it's too miserable, right?
"I told you that my money can't be moved, and I finally approved it, and I will install it in a few days. As for your third brother, when he comes back, you can ask yourself. ”
"Can he be rich?" Guo Xiaomei looked suspicious.
In her opinion, her third brother is no different from a second-rate son, he is not at home all day, and he disappears for ten days and half a month.
Guo Yongnian shook his head with a wry smile, sighed and said, "Little sister." ”
"Huh?"
"You don't know anything about your third brother!"
“......”
At this time, the Zhong family's 14-inch TV has come to the door of the community, and the onlookers are flocking up, and they want to slap their hands.
I haven't heard of anyone having this kind of big TV within a radius of two kilometers.
Even if you just look at the big cardboard box, everyone feels rare.
"If you want to see it, come to my house in the evening, and I'll get a table and put it in the empty space outside the door. ”
Facing everyone's envious eyes, Zhong Wanyou looked happy, said, and took out a pack of big front doors from his trouser pocket, and began to smoke one by one.
"Wanyou is out!"
"yes, it's not much to think about his business. ”
"That's right, if you don't steal or rob, you make hard-earned money. ”
Zhong Laohan heard the big guys talk like this, and he almost burst into tears.
"Hey, look, who's behind there, also pedaling on three wheels, dragging things. The sharp-eyed man said suddenly.
Everyone followed the direction of his finger, subconsciously looked at it, and their eyes suddenly brightened, this is approaching the New Year, and sure enough, good things are continuous, and another family has added a new guy.
The guy who is cross-legged, holding three wheels without glare, and the two young guys in the back who are working hard to help push the cart, aren't they also from their community?
"It's my third brother!" Guo Xiaomei exclaimed.
It's not because Guo Yongkun came back from a business trip that she was so happy, anyway, he always travels on business, mainly because of the big black cloth package on the three-wheeled back bucket.
Obviously there was some surprise!
"Yo, it's really Xiao Kun, what are you buying here, boxy, it's quite big, and it's not like a refrigerator. ”
After coming to the gate of the community, Guo Yongkun was originally slightly surprised, thinking about why there were so many people, but when he caught a glimpse of another three-wheeled car next to him, he was relieved.
It can only be said that the life of the common people is getting better and better.
"Third brother, what is this!"
Guo Xiaomei's chubby little face turned red with excitement, and she couldn't wait to come up and point to the things on the back bucket and ask.
"That's right, Xiao Kun, what's that?"
The people around were also curious.
"Oh, nothing, bought a TV too. ”
"TV?"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked.
Some people just guessed that it was a Xiaoice box, but it was too boxy and didn't feel like it. But if it's a TV......
Oh my god, how many inches does such a big TV have to be?
"Third brother, you bought a TV?!"
Guo Xiaomei really wanted to jump up and lick his third brother twice at this moment, and she was so excited that she danced with her hands.
"That's right. ”
"No......" Someone glanced at the TV box of the Zhong family next to him, looked at him again, and said in surprise: "Xiao Kun, how big is your TV of several inches?"
It's not, it feels like there are two Zhongjia 14-inch TVs!
"21 inches. ”
This kind of thing can't be hidden at all, it's better to tell the truth.
"How much?!"
The jaw dropped all around.
Some people even wonder, is there such a big TV in the world?
“21。 ”
"Oh my God, it's so big, it can't be a color TV, right?"
"Probably yes. ”
This faint voice fell on everyone's ears, but it was like a thunderstorm rolling in the sky, which made everyone's eardrums hurt!
"21-inch color TV?!"
Everybody's square.
Including Guo Xiaomei, the third brother bought a TV, which was an unexpected joy, but she never expected that this surprise would be so huge!
She originally wanted a 9-inch black and white ......
There is no mistake
