Chapter 112: The Richest Man (4)
Li Mo scattered a pack of cigarettes alone, and the people from the housing management office looked at the household registration book, didn't say anything, paid some handling fees, and went through the transfer procedures for Li Mo and the homeowner. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's not cigarettes, cigarettes only play a role in improving efficiency, and it's not that the people in the housing management office are sloppy, who would have thought that a child would buy a house with more than 10,000 yuan.
Li Mo asked Lao Du for help by letting Lao Du stand behind and not say anything, and the people in the housing management office would think that Lao Du was Li Mo's parent...... The two look different, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, each different, some like the father, some like the mother, what's so strange.
It also has to be stamped with an official seal, and the official seal was privately engraved by Li Mo at a roadside stall.
also wanted to sign, Li Mo said: "My father is illiterate." ”
That's it.
That's how sloppy it is.
In case someone recognizes Lao Du, it's not a big problem, can recognize Lao Du opened a noodle restaurant, but how many people know his details?
I really know, it may be a little troublesome, so Li Mo had to ask Director Xing for help.
Li Mo walked out with the relevant certificates.
Old Du Luo asked a little uneasily: "Li Mo, is it really your family that asked you to buy it?" ”
"Uncle Du, really, otherwise how dare I have to be? The greenhouse vegetables are a busy time, and if it is a period of time in the morning, there is no need for Uncle Du to come forward. ”
"Yes," but Lao Du was a little confused, first took out more than 10,000 yuan to help his classmates, and then took out more than 10,000 yuan to buy a house.
Li Mo also asked Lao Du to do a little favor.
The reason why the owner sold this house was that he and his family wanted to leave Chao City, and the reason, Li Mo did not ask, and he did not have the right to ask. The valuables must have been taken away, but the clumsy furniture, as well as some utensils, were all kept.
Li Mo didn't plan to move, at most next year, when Hao Like came to China again, he asked him to bring one or two air conditioners over and ask someone to install them.
But I had to make a room out and use it as a study. It's easy to vacate the house, but you have to ask a carpenter to come over and make a few large bookcases.
This is not very difficult.
Li Mo handed the key to Lao Du, and then leaned on the railing and looked out, outside was a relatively large street, with people coming and going.
Li Mo didn't look at them, his mind had already flown to the clouds. In his previous life, a house pitted him......
Stunned, the three of them walked down.
Xiaopang whispered: "Li Mo, your family is really rich. ”
"It's okay, but Du Zhengwei, don't talk about this in class."
"Li Mo, you underestimate me."
Li Mozhen did not underestimate the students of No. 1 Middle School, and many famous officials, entrepreneurs, scientists, economists, and even generals came out of this middle school. For example, the general manager of Chery later, such as the chief designer of the Chang'e-1 orbit.
Some have already left No. 1 Middle School, some have not yet entered No. 1 Middle School, and some may be studying in No. 1 Middle School. Of course, Li Mo must be unclear.
Li Mo still has one more thing to do, and Lao Du is not capable of doing it, that is, installing a phone.
"Installing a phone?" Director Xing was shocked for a moment, and then said, "Classmate Li Mo, do you know how much a phone cost?" ”
At the moment, ordinary people are also allowed to install phones. The problem is that there are too few lines, and generally only cadres at or above the bureau level can apply to install telephones at home, and leaders who can't keep up with the level can only wait in line.
Not only leaders, but also some self-employed and literary stars who have just gone to sea, have money in their hands, and they also want to install telephones.
Without a phone, it is really inconvenient to contact.
The telecommunications sector was powerless, so the problem of installing telephones suddenly became a social problem, and many newspapers reported on it at length.
It was not until the mid-80s, with the rapid development of the country's basic telecommunications facilities, that telephones gradually entered thousands of households.
This is the difficulty of installation, it is difficult to install the phone, and after the installation of the phone, the cost is even more amazing.
I could receive nearly ten yuan a month for rent, and later it rose to fifteen yuan. Think about how much money a farmer can earn after working hard all year round.
The monthly rent is expensive, and the phone call is even more expensive, especially for international calls, just chat a few words, dozens of dollars will be gone, if you talk a little longer, a few hundred yuan will be gone.
Poor telephone quality and backward telecommunication facilities have led to the "four evils": wrong numbers, cross-calls, dropped calls, and noises.
There is a real case, in the mid-eighties, there was an old lady to the son in RB to call the international call, wait for a long time to get through, but can not hear what the other party is saying, anxious to "feed" here for a long time, a serious sentence did not say, but hung up the phone to see the bill, the old lady is anxious: 460 yuan!
Not to mention the cost of future maintenance, it is difficult to install a phone, and the handling fee required to install a phone is also relatively high.
What Director Xing meant, don't look at the fact that you wrote a book and earned some manuscript fees, but this call is still too advanced for you.
Li Mo glanced at the office and saw that there was no one else, and he whispered: "Xing let me be, I won't tell you, my manuscript fee is much more than you think, I plan to bring back only a small part for the time being, and I will invest the rest in the United States together." ”
"Do you still have investments in the United States?" Director Xing was blinded.
"As for the computer field, it's a small investment, but I have to pay attention to it, can I not have a phone call?"
"It's going to have to be a phone call." Director Xing said that it is easy to call, just go to the post office to call, but it is difficult to call.
"But this call ......"
"I know, let's do it, you tell them, if you can handle this matter for me, where in the United States will someone come over next spring, I will ask him to bring a few Toshiba color TVs from Xiangjiang, which side of the Xiangjiang color TVs are sold, not the color TVs sold in China."
Uncle Xiao Su may not understand it yet, but Director Xing knows the difference.
Li Mo estimated the price, and said: "1,000 yuan for 14 inches, 1,500 yuan for 18 inches, the number is limited to five units." If you really don't feel at ease, you can pay a deposit of 50 yuan per person, and then pay when the TV arrives. ”
It's not that Li Mo wants to make money, and he has to pay tariffs when he brings color TVs over on a large scale. Even if you use the train to consign, there are also some shipping fees, which can probably cover the cost. But at the black market exchange rate, Li Mo lost a lot again.
This temptation is smashed, see if the relevant leaders are still moved?
"Really?"
"The Su family I rented, his youngest son asked me to buy one, which was brought over alone, which was a bit expensive. He used it as a gift, Director Xing, don't say it. ”
"I understand, Li Mo, can you buy one for me?" First of all, Director Xing was moved.
"Yes." Li Mo replied, anyway, he didn't need to make any effort, it just so happened that Hao Like was bored.
The temptation of color TV is big enough, and in just a few days, Director Xing took Li Mo to the post office, and he had to call Hao Like in front of several leaders. There is such a thing, and the formalities will be completed immediately.
Li Mo called Hao Lick.
It was the morning, and the first half of the night, and Hao Like happened to be at home.
The two talked on the phone, Li Mo explained the situation, and then handed the microphone to an obese leader.
"I don't understand ......English," the leader said embarrassedly.
"It doesn't matter, Hao Lick's house is not far from Los Angeles' Chinatown, and I was lucky enough to learn some Chinese, but it's not standard."
If you know Chinese, that's fine, this leader answered the phone. In fact, when Li Mo was talking to Hao Like in fluent English, several leaders basically believed it. After answering the phone for a while, the fat leader nodded.
He also asked curiously: "Is he an overseas Chinese?" ”
"Not an overseas Chinese, an authentic white man, Hollick is a transliteration, his full name is Fidel Hollick, his name is Fidel, his surname is Hollick, and he turned out to be a barrister at the O'Melveny & Myers Law Firm in Los Angeles." Li Mo explained simply, there are many people talking, so Li Mo asked Director Xing to tell them that Li Mo has relatives in the United States and is relatively rich, so he can't say anything about the manuscript fee and investment.
"Lawyer, that's a great profession." The leader said in awe.
Li Mo wanted to laugh, in China, a lawyer is indeed a great profession, but in the United States, it is just like that, not much more noble than a teacher.
Several leaders wanted to pay a deposit, Li Mo waved his hand and said, "Let's start spring next year, and when he is coming, I will ask Director Xing to inform you." ”
But several leaders also bargained, and five color TVs became seven color TVs. In fact, the problem of seventeen color TVs is not big, and there are many key numbers, so everyone is not uncommon, and Li Mo is too lazy to continue to find these people to annoy himself in the future.
Needless to say, the formalities are not done, and in Li Mo's hands, it will only take a few days to do what some bureau-level cadres have not done.
Li Mo paid a year's monthly rent by phone, but did not immediately move into a new house.
The tense final exam is coming, and on this day, Teacher Fang called Li Mo to the office and asked, "Li Mo, have you ever written other essays and published them in the newspaper?" ”
Li Mo shook his head.
"Then it's strange, why did the leaders of the Provincial Department of Education send someone to the school to ask about your deeds?"
"Provincial Department of Education? Is it because of "Guardian"? But this collection of essays has been out for more than a year, why do you care at this time? Li Mo asked puzzled.
