Chapter 82 Indicators

Love is certainly exciting, but there can't be only love in people's lives. Vertices are updated the fastest

Everyone has their own relatives, friends, expectations, ideals and goals in life, and they can't stick together all day and night.

So after enjoying the romance of the two-man world for a week, Hong Yanwu and "Sugar Heart" also began to get down to business.

Located at No. 7 on the fourth floor of Wangfujing Department Store, the "Overseas Personnel Service Department" was established in 1960.

In the early days of its establishment, in addition to individual public missionaries who were extremely rare at that time, the reception here also included high-ranking leaders and their families.

That is, the so-called "four vice-presidents" (the party, the vice president, vice premier, and vice chairman), the "two supremes" (the president of the Supreme People's Court, the chief procurator of the Supreme People's Procuratorate), and the "one marshal".

In addition to customizing clothing for overseas personnel and leaders and their families, the main services provided here include imported brand-name home appliances, watches, perfumes, woolen materials, chocolate, brandy, whiskey, toilet tissues, jewelry, etc.

Top black caviar from Russia and foie gras from France are common here. Domestic "famous, excellent, special, new" products are also available.

It should be said that in those years, it not only formed an effective complementary role with Donghuamen "No. 34" in terms of "special supply demand" for leaders. In addition, it was the only three foreign-related stores in Beijing at that time, along with the "International Friends Service Department" and the "Overseas Chinese Store".

This continued until December 1, 1964.

Due to the merger of the three foreign-related stores with the same function, the "Beijing Friendship Store" was established at No. 25 Donghuamen Street. Since then, the "Overseas Personnel Service Department" has become truly deserved, and has become a dedicated department for overseas personnel.

However, although the level of hospitality here has declined, most of the people who were able to leave the country at that time were from the elite of society. Under the "department store", all kinds of cars are still parked every day.

The entrance behind the "department store" is also guarded all year round, and it is still a place where ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to set foot in it.

So some people have a brain about how to make money here. That's definitely beyond the scope of ordinary people's imagination, and no one will believe it.

But this kind of thing has become a fact.

At nine o'clock in the morning on June 20, 1978, at the entrance of the "Overseas Personnel Service Department" behind the Wangfujing Department Store, two men and two women quietly came.

It is Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan, "Sugar Heart" and "Thorn Mei".

What distinguishes them is that they are not only dressed in new clothes, but they are also very well-dressed and clean, and they stay here for a long time.

Whenever someone passes by, they will take a good look at it, and once they feel that it is suitable for contact, someone will try to go there and talk.

Needless to say, it must be Hong Yanwu's idea to dress up carefully. He even bought new clothes for everyone at his own expense, so that everyone had to change them.

This kind of need to "pretend to be rich" is actually very similar to the need to "pretend to be poor" in front of the movie theater.

It is because most of the people who can come here are government officials and high-level intellectuals, and snobbery and judging people by appearance have always been the most common characteristics of these people.

If they were dressed as ordinary people, most of them would be as cold and too lazy to take care of them as the salespeople on the fourth floor.

On the other hand, it is not the same if everyone looks like a well-born cadre or a child of a Kochi family. Not only can it successfully reduce the disgust of others, but it can also reduce the defensive heart of others.

At the same time, from the perspective of facilitating transactions, only if you look like you have a lot of money, and you are a little attracted to these people who are above the top, people will be willing to talk to you

Indeed, Hong Yanwu's idea is necessary. At the beginning, "Thorn Mei" didn't care much, she only wore new clothes because women naturally love beauty, and the clothes given for white should not be white.

But it didn't take long for her to realize the benefits herself.

First, some people are extremely principled, and many people are extremely vigilant and disgusted by their demands to exploit loopholes.

Fortunately, she was decently dressed, bright, and beautiful, so these people would believe her fabricated excuse of "marrying her brother" and treat each other more leniently.

Otherwise, it will not be lightly let go, or it will only be persuaded and educated verbally, and if it is not done well, it will have to alarm the public security organs.

Second, the more beautiful a beautiful girl is, the more lethal she is to a young man. As long as there are no single lads with women around, she can easily lead the conversation to the topic and get to the bottom of the other person.

In this way, after coming and going, she and "Sugar Heart" gradually became familiar with the routine of pick-up.

They all know that they should avoid seeing middle-aged and elderly men and women as much as possible, and they will no longer take the initiative to attack people who come with men, women and children.

Because these people are the most rigid in their brains and love to tell big truths. And there are people accompanying him, even if he is really selfish, he will not dare to expose it. Pretending to be serious is an inevitable reaction.

So they only care about single young men or middle-aged women. Because young men are the best to deal with, and old ladies are the most greedy.

Although most of the lads wore glasses, even the old ladies had a certain social status. But after all, they can't overcome this natural attribute of their own.

This is human nature.

It's just a pity, although "Sugar Heart" and "Thorn Plum" have gradually figured out the tricks, and they feel more and more relaxed in communication. However, due to various other objective reasons, it is not easy to succeed smoothly.

First of all, it's hard to distinguish between the objects.

Don't forget, the "Overseas Personnel Service Department" also has a business of customizing clothing for overseas personnel, and many people take the 500 yuan clothing fee given by the government to make clothing. For these people, they naturally asked in vain, and they delayed their work in vain.

In addition, the "tax-free index" is really a good thing. No one is stupid, even if the returnees themselves do not have enough financial resources. But who doesn't have three relatives and six relatives, as soon as relatives and friends open their mouths, most of them will also give favors. Who knew if you could sell it for money if you stayed?

Therefore, after two hours of busy talking, "Thorn Mei" and "Sugar Heart" each accosted no less than a dozen people, but they all found nothing. In addition, as soon as the weather was hot, the two of them were a little sweaty.

Where can Hong Yanwu make the two girls hot, so he and Chen Liquan bought a few bottles of soda to quench everyone's thirst.

The cold drink came in time, and as soon as the soda arrived, "Thorn Mei" didn't wait for Chen Liquan to hand it to him, and grabbed it first.

Not to mention, spending an extra five cents per bottle is really effective, and the cold drink that was chilled by the water was so cold that the heart was cold, and the impetuous "Thorn Plum" poured half a bottle in one go. I breathed a sigh of relief, and finally looked better.

Of course, Hong Yanwu is actually most concerned about his daughter-in-law, and when he handed over the soda, he whispered "Sugar Heart".

"How are you? You haven't lost faith, have you? Take your time, it's really not worth getting angry......"

"Sugar Heart" shook her head while sipping her soda with a straw.

"Where? I am not in a hurry, I have full confidence in you. It's a matter of chance. It's 'Thorn Plum', I'll just persuade her later......"

"Alas, alas, what are you two whispering?" as if they couldn't see their eyes burning. "Thorn Mei" giggled and hit the cymbals.

"Sugar Heart" is a clever person, and he only smiled faintly.

"Xiao Wu said that you look very good today......

"Thorn Mei" was stunned for a moment, and touched her face.

"Really?"

Hong Yanwu hurriedly cooperated seriously.

"That's great!"

"Hahaha......" Several people laughed at this time.

I don't know if it's the laughter that brings good luck, or maybe it's because the hard work pays off. Unexpectedly, five minutes later, a few people chatted and drank the soda, and it was really open.

"Thorn Mei" didn't take it seriously and talked to a middle-aged woman for a few words, and a small piece of "service voucher for overseas personnel" was in hand. It's just that the girl has a hand in bargaining, and the fifty yuan offered by "Thorn Mei" is too little, and it was finally sold for sixty-five yuan.

Whether it's a loss or a gain, it's really a little bottomless.

The most confident is still Hong Yanwu. He didn't say anything, and directly asked "Sugar Heart" and "Thorn Mei" to go in and buy things with indicators.

When the two of them come out again, it's really fun. Because what's inside is simply too cheap.

They bought a "brick" tape recorder, and it was only 115 yuan. You can't buy it out there at all. They all felt that someone wanted to increase the price to 234, but they didn't know what brand it was, and they didn't know it.

Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu is an understanding person. When I took it, I said, "NationalPanasonic, this is the RQ-2106 mono recorder and playback original from Panasonic of Japan." In the first half of the year, the department store sold this, and two hundred and six is not two hundred and eight. It was sold out within a few days of being stocked. ”

Well, this means that this is really the hottest commodity now, and if you want to sell it at the original price, you can earn at least one hundred and eighty.

"Thorn Mei" was so beautiful when she heard it, and she excitedly declared that in order to celebrate the victory in the first battle, she invited everyone to rub it at noon.

And "Sugar Heart" doesn't care about this. She just stared at Hong Yanwu with a smile in her eyes, "How come you still know foreign characters? You also know Japanese things?"

Hey, that's it, it's always affectionate. It was clearly her little heart, and she was shocked by Hong Yanwu again.
