Chapter 18: Mission Accomplished
"Hmm. ”
Li Rui struggled to open his somewhat heavy eyelids, the dim bedroom was quiet, turned over, and closed his eyes comfortably. Five or six minutes later, I touched my hand wildly, found my watch, opened my eyes slightly, and found that it was more than nine o'clock in the morning of the next day.
I sat up, felt some pain in my head, and rubbed it gently.
"Alas, I drank too much high-end Moutai wine, and I woke up with a headache. Li Rui frowned uncomfortably, and muttered bitterly in his heart.
After sitting on the bed for a while, I woke up, and then I got out of bed a little unpleasantly and ran to wash my face and brush my teeth.
……
I went to the hotel to have a bite to eat, and the time had come to ten o'clock.
Ay.
The rules of the system are really one and the same, the daily interest on the debt is said to be 10%, absolutely not discounted at all, and now his debt has become 4,300 points.
With such a huge loan shark, if he hadn't drunk a little too much with Fat Liu last night, he would have been a little skeptical that he would be able to sleep peacefully.
Well.
In a certain sense, drinking last night is also a bit of a drink to drown your sorrows.
"Hmm...... Last night, I seemed to have told Fat Liu that I was going to the antique street, and Fat Liu also promised to bring the boutique over. If you didn't go so late, the other party wouldn't think it was a trick on him, right?" Li Rui pondered.
Li Rui got out of the hotel and rushed in the direction of the antique street, but his footsteps suddenly stopped, and he suddenly remembered the agreement with Sun Zhen, the other party went back to his hometown to get the red earpiece card, and it is estimated that he will be back soon. At this time, when he went to the antique street, maybe he couldn't walk for a few minutes, and someone called his pager.
In fact.
There are also mobile phones sold in China, which are the kind of big brothers who are often photogenic in Hong Kong films, just like a big brick, the key is that slightly remote places can't receive signals. Li Rui was used to using a small mobile phone in his previous life, so he was naturally not interested in carrying a large brick weighing a pound everywhere he went, but he did have a communication need, so he equipped a pager.
After thinking for a moment, Li Rui turned around and walked towards the Post and Telecommunications Bureau.
The red handset phone card is a collection that he urgently needs, so try to be proactive, rush to the post and telecommunications office to wait first, and it is not good to always let Zhang Xinquan come over to inform him.
The hotel is not far from the post and telecommunications office, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk.
"Li Rui, the director has gone out to do errands, he should be back soon, you can sit casually. Sister Wang was talking to the customer about something, and when she found Li Rui coming, she greeted with a smile.
"It's okay, Aunt Wang, you're busy!" The people who came and went were familiar with the people in this post and telecommunications office outlet, and Li Rui also changed his name to Aunt Wang.
"Hey, what's going on here, I've run five or six times, either the door is closed, or no one is open, last time I finally ran into someone, but that little girl didn't understand anything, what about the other staff?"
"Business busy!" Sister Wang's answer was neat.
Forehead.
The space in the post and telecommunications bureau is only thirty or forty square meters, which is not very large, and the man's voice is so high that Li Rui can not hear it at all.
The post and telecommunications bureau is empty, and the business is busy...... Li Rui's face was strange, and he seemed to understand what he was busy with.
"After filling out the form and paying the money, you go back and wait, there are a lot of families with phones, and it is useless to rush it, so you can only wait in line. ”
"But I'm in a hurry. Can you move my grade a little further? I'll add money!"
"Look at it, there are hundreds of application forms, all waiting in line, you want to move forward, others also think, isn't it going to be messed up? It's not a matter of adding money, so why did you go early? Go back and wait, if it's fast, it will be your turn in three or four months. Sister Wang said.
“……”
Well.
Don't think that Sister Wang's attitude is bad, in the 90s, this was the service attitude of most post and telecommunications office outlets.
At this time, Li Rui, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but interject, "This big brother, if you really need it urgently, go directly to buy a mobile phone." ”
The "......" man was again speechless. A Motorola mobile phone costs 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and the black market is 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, so he is willing to buy it.
……
The queue was fruitless, and the man had no choice but to leave. Sister Wang made time to entertain Li Rui, and the two chatted casually, and the topic naturally couldn't avoid calling cards.
"Li Rui, collect phone cards, can they really be valuable in the future?" Sister Wang asked.
Li Rui hesitated, he had never heard of the phone card collection in his previous life, how could he understand the market. But to understand one thing, collecting cannot be separated from the principle that scarcity is precious. In the early days, the issuance of phone cards was low, and most of them were used and consumed, and very few were well preserved, and the price should not be low.
Let alone.
The system guides him to collect things, no matter how low the value is, it is impossible not to have a little appreciation potential!
"Well, it's hard to tell how much it's worth, but I don't think I'm going to lose money. Li Rui didn't understand the phone card market, so he didn't dare to make a big fuss.
"That's right. I also thought that if it was worth it, I would keep a few for myself. Sister Wang was slightly disappointed, and could only promise not to lose money, so naturally she couldn't arouse her interest.
"I'm really not sure, but it's not a bad thing to keep a few of them, and the price will skyrocket one day. Li Rui reminded that he was also afraid that the price of the phone card would skyrocket, and the other party would be psychologically unbalanced.
Now the people of the entire post and telecommunications bureau are helping him to collect calling cards, in case the price of calling cards skyrockets, the mood of these people can be imagined.
It's definitely not comfortable.
Those with extreme personalities may hate Li Rui because of this......
"Aunt Wang wants to collect items, it is better to collect stamps directly, the transaction volume of stamps is large, the circulation is good, and it will definitely appreciate in the future. Li Rui said.
"Oh, are you sure?" Sister Wang's eyes lit up, working in the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, collecting stamps is the first to get the moon near the water.
"Of course! Stamps must have a very high collector's value, and the price will not be low in the future. Aunt Wang, if you have the financial conditions, collect as many stamps as possible from the sixties and seventies, as well as monkey stamps from the eighties...... The price of this type of stamp should not be low now, but it will be even more expensive in the future. Li Rui said with a smile. I don't know what the trend of the phone card market is, but I know the general market trend of stamps very well.
And.
He knows that the first national stamp collection craze in China is about to start, and the price of rare stamps is rising like a rocket.
"What are you talking about?" Li Rui and Sister Wang were chatting attentively, Zhang Xinquan came back, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's nothing, talking about collecting stamps, Li Rui said that this stamp can be worth a lot of money in the future...... Sister Wang replied.
"It's a rare stamp! Ordinary stamps can appreciate in value, but they can't compete with those rare stamps. The rarer the stamp, the greater the increase in the future. Li Rui corrected.
Zhang Xinquan nodded understandingly, collecting stamps is not a rare thing, and you can often meet people who collect stamps to buy the latest stamps.
He has his own philatelic album!
"Brother Li Rui, why are you sure that the price of stamps will increase?"
"Hah, it's so easy. Now the collection of stamps is still a small number of people, may be many people want to collect but limited by economic capacity, but the country's economic development is getting better and better, the people's income has increased greatly, there will be more and more collectors, and the price is not rising.
"Yes, that's the ......"
……
For the first time, Li Rui found out that he also had a talent for nonsense, and he didn't feel it much, so he talked for more than two hours, and the time passed twelve o'clock.
Sun Zhen still did not appear......
"Don't worry, I personally sent him to the car yesterday, and he should be back soon. Zhang Xinquan saw Li Rui looking at the door from time to time, and comforted with a smile.
"Hmm. ”
Li Rui nodded.
"It's time for dinner, maybe the other party will come over after lunch, why don't we eat first, I know there is a good Hunan restaurant on the east side of the street." ”
"Good!"
Li Rui groaned slightly and agreed. He didn't eat until ten o'clock, and he didn't feel hungry, but he couldn't stop Zhang Xinquan and Sister Wang from eating.
If he doesn't agree to follow along, I'm afraid the other party won't leave him to eat alone.
As soon as the door was locked, Li Rui and the other three were about to leave, when they happened to bump into Sun Zhen, who was panting and rushing over, panting and sweating in his head.
Whew, whew, whew......
"I'm afraid you'll get off work, but I'm glad I caught up. Calming down his breath a little, Sun Zhen said happily.
"You haven't eaten before you come back?" Zhang Xinquan said in surprise.
"I took the bus from the long-distance bus station, and after I arrived at the station, I ran for another three or four minutes, and I didn't even have saliva to drink, so how could I eat?" Sun Zhen said.
The phone card was not sold, and he was worried that it would change later, so he didn't dare to delay for a minute.
"We're going to dinner, let's talk about things together, it's not convenient to talk on the street!" Li Rui said.
……
Hunan restaurant.
After asking everyone's opinions, Zhang Xinquan skillfully ordered the food.
"Little brother, look at it. It's all brand new red handset phone cards, and there is no wear and tear at all. Sun Zhen took out a plastic package, put it on the table and opened it.
"Well, that's right, that's it!" Zhang Xinquan only glanced at it, then nodded in confirmation.
Red earpiece!
With a little excitement in his heart, Li Rui picked up a light blue grid background and looked at it carefully, with a red telephone microphone printed on the background of the light blue grid, and no face value was marked.
"This is an internal test card, there is no face value on the card face, but it is not no face value, and a face value is 99 yuan. Sun Zhen emphasized.
Lao Zhou Ke mentioned that the acquirer purchased the phone card at the original price according to the face value.
Li Rui nodded understandingly, for him, it didn't matter how much the denomination was, as long as he could collect it all.
I took a few more red earpiece cards and observed, and found that they were all the same, and there was no difference at all.
"Is there only one set of red handset phone cards?" asked Li Rui.
"Yes, the internal test card, it's simple and convenient. The phone cards sold in the market are all made into a set, which is to cater to the market demand. Sun Zhen explained.
Oh.
After listening to the explanation, Li Rui suddenly felt that his question was a bit idiot. Yes, the test card is practical, who will engage in a set of bells and whistles, isn't it asking for trouble.
"I have a total of fifty-five red earpiece cards. Sun Zhen said.
"Okay, I bought it all, 5,500 yuan. Li Rui made a decision that this kind of precious card naturally can't be let go when it comes to it.
"Little brother is refreshing enough, I agree with the price. But...... At the beginning, it was agreed that I would take back the red handset card, and you would have to make up another amount of lost work expenses. ”
"There is this agreement, you name it!" Li Rui did not deny it.
"Oh, 100 yuan, no problem, that's 5,600 yuan in total. Seeing the other party gesturing a finger, Li Rui smiled, and then took out the money.
"Brother, you misunderstood, I said a thousand dollars. Sun Zhen shook his head and said with a smile.
Well.
Li Rui frowned.
"Why don't you rob it?" Sister Wang said angrily.
"It only takes a day to go back and forth, and you dare to ask for a thousand dollars. Can you get a thousand yuan a month?" Without waiting for Li Rui to speak, Zhang Xinquan couldn't help it.
Originally.
Zhang Xinquan had an opinion on the matter of lost work pay, but was stopped by Li Rui. They are all employees of state-owned enterprises, please take a day and a half day off, and if they are not on duty, whether the leaders can find out is two words. What's more, if you ask for leave, your salary and benefits will not be less, and it is the practice of private enterprises to deduct money from leave.
"Zhang Suo's words are good, your monthly salary can't reach 1,000 yuan, how dare you ask for 1,000 yuan for lost work?" Li Rui said in a deep voice.
originally thought that the other party was a real person, but I didn't expect such a play to suddenly come in the end.
For a thousand dollars, he can take it out at will.
But.
Li Rui will never give this kind of money! Even if he throws it to a beggar on the street, he will not give it to this kind of person.
"Hey...... I can't say that, lost work is not worth so much money, I have to travel hundreds of kilometers back and forth in a day and night, and I can't take care of hot meals, so I should always get more hard-earned money. Sun Zhen still stated the reason with a smile, and there was no trace of shame on his face.
Li Rui was in a dilemma, he didn't want to accept the other party's blackmail, but he couldn't give up the red receiver phone card that was about to arrive.
"Sun Zhen, your approach is not authentic, so you are not afraid of me and Lao Zhouti. Zhang Xinquan threatened, this line is led by him, and there is also a commission for the deal, so he naturally has to take the initiative to stand up and settle it when something happens. He knows how much Li Rui cares about the red earpiece, and if he lets it develop, he may end up being led by the other party.
"Free to buy and sell, what you like me, I didn't force you to buy it. It's useless for you to bring out Lao Zhou, I'm not in the same unit as him, I'm not familiar with him. ”
Ti Lao Zhou couldn't force the other party to rein in, Zhang Xinquan was angry and said fiercely: "You, it's good...... Li Rui is right to receive the red earpiece, but the red earpiece phone card is not the only one, I put my old face open, go to various brother units to inquire, ask someone to find it, and I can always get it. ”
"You threaten me?" Sun Zhen was shocked, but he still managed to calm down.
"Hmph. I would rather owe favors than accept blackmail. Zhang Xinquan snorted coldly.
Bluff, or would you rather be a broken jade?
Sun Zhen was shocked and couldn't grasp Zhang Xinquan's thoughts.
"Little brother, would rather wait for the red earpiece card that I don't know if I can find than buy my card?"
Scold.
Li Rui smiled and said nothing, the situation was gradually being regained by Zhang Xinquan, unless he was stupid, he would answer the other party's words at this time.
"I am the middleman in this matter, and I can do it!" Li Rui was silent and did not answer, and Zhang Xinquan's momentum became even higher.
"Okay, I'll suffer a loss, plus 500 yuan for lost work, a total of 6,000 yuan!" Zhang Xinquan was high, and Sun Zhen was short of breath here, so he took the initiative to retreat.
"It's not 50 yuan! Just like you, I'm afraid you won't go to work for half a month, and no leader will dare to give you a dollar less. Zhang Xinquan scoffed.
"You ......"
"It's merciful enough to pay the fare in advance, you're not satisfied? 5,500 yuan, we won't add another dollar. If you agree to trade, if you don't want to sell, I'll call someone to find it after I finish eating. Isn't it just a personal favor, who doesn't owe a favor in this era?" Zhang Xinquan pressed step by step.
"You...... Okay, I'll sell!" The words were all on this, Sun Zhen was angry, but helpless. Do you really leave with a phone card, miss this opportunity, and don't get a dollar?
The transaction is completed.
Sun Zhen took the money and left.
"This person is sick and is not happy to give 5,600 yuan, and now he is holding 5,500 yuan with an expression that I am making a lot of money. Sister Wang couldn't help but scold.
"Heh, it's the Li Rui brothers' performance that is too generous, so that the other party feels that there is an opportunity, it is naturally good to blackmail a little more, it doesn't matter if it is difficult to succeed, anyway, it is a one-shot deal, and there will be no more contacts in the future, without any scruples. Zhang Xinquan understands this idea.
"Generous?" Li Rui wondered.
"Isn't it generous to buy scrap cards at face value......? For a card with a face value of 99 yuan, you give 100 yuan, although it is only one dollar more, but 55 cards is 55 yuan, which is also a large amount. Then Sun Zhen must have seen that you were generous, so he was greedy. ”
Listening to Zhang Xinquan's analysis, Li Rui instantly felt that this trouble was caused by himself. It seems that if the money is not used in the right way, it will also cause trouble.
……
With the red earpiece card in hand, Li Rui was worried about the task reward, and he didn't have the heart to stay, so he simply ate some wine and food, took out 10,000 yuan to Zhang Xinquan as a commission, and then offered to leave.
