Chapter 19: An Unexpected Beginning

In July, Mobei City is still sunny as always, the scorching sun is unobstructed and scorching the earth, and the blue sky is floating with white clouds, just like the sky of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau that people yearn for in the future.

Today is Saturday, and the weekends of '87 have not yet been implemented, and everyone is still working. There weren't many pedestrians on the street at 9 a.m. Only the elderly who walked early walked in groups of three or five. In the radio speaker on the side of the road, a female announcer introduced Cheonan oral liquid in a capable and concise tone. It is said that it is based on the principles of human microecology and nutrition, using modern bioengineering technology, biomimetic methods and a variety of probiotic symbiotic fermentation technology...... Through regular oral entry into the intestine, it can effectively supplement a variety of necessary probiotics in the human body, promote the growth of probiotics in the human body, inhibit the growth and reproduction of harmful bacteria in the body, restore and maintain the balance of bacteria in the human body, and form a probiotic membrane barrier, so as to achieve the purpose of regulating the human internal environment, play the role of nutrition, health care, treatment and anti-aging, and has been identified by international and domestic famous microecological medical experts: the product is "the first in China, the international leading", and in 1986 won the national invention patent and so on......。

Nanjie Pharmacy is located in Xincheng East Street, the main road of Mobei City, with about three rooms in size, and a red banner hangs on the lintel of the pharmacy, which reads the words Tian'an Oral Liquid, the latest research results of the Academy of Sciences. The door panel of the pharmacy has not been removed, but many people are already gathering in the open space in front of the door.

Li Yifan stood in front of the pharmacy, watching more and more people gather in front of the door, and there were people joining in one after another. I couldn't help but feel a little nervous on my scalp, and secretly said, why did so many people come, is it because the advertising effect is too good, or is it the result of the shortage of goods unique to the 80s and 90s. No, you have to think of a way, otherwise there are so many people crowded, nothing will happen. Thinking of this, Li Yifan hurriedly beckoned a few little brothers to enter the pharmacy through the back door.

As soon as I entered the pharmacy, I ran into Manager Chen and hurriedly walked out, looked up and saw Li Yifan, and grabbed Li Yifan's arm, "Xiao Li, I'm in a hurry to find you, why are so many people here, I don't dare to open the door, as soon as I open the door, I have to squeeze the counter down, and I see that there are many elderly people outside, and if something happens, it will be troublesome." ”

"Manager Chen, don't worry, I'm here to discuss this matter with you. Now that the door is open, I will go out first to guide everyone to line up, release people into the store in batches of 5-8 people, and set up a table in front of the door, on the one hand, I can answer customer questions outside the store, and on the other hand, I can artificially divide customers into two parts, entering and leaving the store, so I think most of the problems should be solved, you see?"

"Xiao Li, I think it's okay, just follow this plan. Let's find two people to move the table!"

"Okay, Manager Chen, I'll move right away. After Li Yifan and Manager Chen finished discussing, he turned his head and arranged, "Sanfat, how are you doing your business homework?"

"Yifan, don't worry! ”

"Then you quickly change into a white coat and be responsible for standing at the counter to sell goods. Brother Dong, you also put on a white coat and are responsible for collecting money. Remember that a bottle costs 58 yuan. In addition, keep enough at the counter. Li Yifan turned his head and said to Chen Gang again, "Gangzi, you are responsible for directing the flow of people in the store." And cooperate with Sanfat and Dongge to load the goods in time, and the crowd will not gather only if the turnover is fast. ”

"Stone you and I outside the store to divert the flow of people, the first step is to arrange everyone to line up, and then organize batches to enter the store, after the queuing order is established, I answer questions behind the table and arrange batches to enter the store, you flow to maintain order. Do you understand now?"

"Understood," several people said in unison.

"Then let's go our separate ways! After Li Yifan finished speaking, he moved the table with the stone and placed it in front of the store.

In front of the pharmacy, there was a crowd of people, a large area of people and cars densely packed, and various voices whistled, "Lao Wang, this Tian'an oral liquid, I read that the leaflet said that it was a patented product of the Chinese Academy of Sciences--***." You can eat it even if you are not sick. What is it? Reliable, isn't it?" An aunt asked a middle-aged man dressed like an intellectual next to her.

"Reliable. Can the research of the Academy of Sciences be reliable?*** It is a new type of medicine taken by people in western developed countries in order to maintain good health, improve the quality of life, and prolong life, without side effects. No, our country has also embarked on the road to prosperity, so the Academy of Sciences has studied this oral liquid to meet the needs of the people. I'm here today to buy a few bottles of health care. The middle-aged man pretended to be a jack of all trades and said.

Someone next to him heard it and immediately gathered around. came over to consult, and the middle-aged man was even more proud, and he introduced it like a river. After listening to the introduction, an old aunt immediately turned around and squeezed in front of the pharmacy, chattering as she walked, "There is a shortage of everything in the market now, and there is nowhere to spend money, such a good thing, don't sell it out in a while, you can't buy it." ”

More people rushed to the door. Li Yifan and Shi had just set up the table, and when they saw the chaotic crowd coming, Li Yifan hurriedly stood on the chair and shouted loudly to the crowd, "Uncle, aunts, uncles, aunts, don't be in a hurry, don't be crowded, today we have enough oral liquid, everyone can buy it, on such a hot day, it's not good to crowd everyone, please line up on the left side of the table in order, and enter the store in order to buy." Once in line, we'll open our doors. ”

Li Yifan has been practicing martial arts all year round, has sufficient energy, and has a loud voice, which suddenly suppressed the chaotic crowd. Under the guidance of Li Yifan and the persuasion of the stone, people began to line up one after another, and after a while, there was a long queue in front of the pharmacy. Li Yifan was busy for a long time and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly picked up the door panel with the stone and opened the door.

The first batch of 8 people who entered the store rushed to the counter at once, made a brief inquiry, and paid for it, some bought two bottles, saying that they would try it at home; some directly bought 6 bottles of a course of treatment, for fear that it would be sold out and affect the treatment effect. There were no people who left the store empty-handed, and the people outside the store saw that the people who came out were all big and small bags without empty hands, and their emotions became even more anxious, and they asked Li Yifan about the stocking situation, for fear that they would not be able to buy it. Li Yifan, the initiator, was also shocked.

Later people couldn't understand the rush to buy in '87 and '88, and they didn't see the crazy scene. Due to the lack of material goods at that time, most of the goods were still ticketed, and although they were already the tail of ticket management, there were not many types of goods that could be supplied openly on the market. The purchasing power of residents outside the ticket is not as good as that in the ticket (that is, money without the ticket cannot buy things), and this part of the supply cannot absorb the money to chase the new unplanned goods. At the same time, the unplanned sector mainly produces agricultural and sideline products, daily necessities, and household durable goods, which are the means of subsistence, so the pressure on the means of subsistence to rise is even greater.

And because the price was implemented in a dual-track system at that time, that is, the official reversal at that time mentioned by everyone watching film and television works (reselling the approval, getting the approval of the planned price through the relationship, selling it at an unplanned price, and earning the difference in the middle). The core characteristic of the dual-regulation structure is that the market price track has a strong attraction because it is stimulated by actual interests, and it draws supply to its side; because the economy as a whole is in short supply, demand prefers to accept higher prices, which leads to price increases. On the one hand, ordinary people can't buy goods with money, and on the other hand, the prices of goods that can be bought are constantly rising.

In this way, the sales of Tian'an oral liquid began in an unexpected situation in Li Yifan's shock, nervousness, and busyness.
