341: Daughter-in-law picks at will
"Come here and get the money!"
After going ashore and looking at the household appliances placed on the shore, Mai Cheng began to pay the fishermen.
He issued Hong Kong dollars, and these days, Hong Kong dollars are hard currency, and when you take them out, you can not only exchange them at will, but you can also go to the friendship store to buy good things that Tang coins can't buy.
"Thank you, Boss Mai."
"Thank you, Brother Mai..."
Twenty Hong Kong dollars per person, the money was distributed to everyone, and the fishermen were happy and smiling.
Soon, the fishermen who helped transport the goods received the money, and only Huang Yatou was left alone.
Looking at the expectation, envy, and eagerness in Huang Yatou's eyes, Lin Yao took the money in Mai Cheng's hand and said: "The college entrance examination has been resumed, if you can study, let's study more, it's always right to read more." â
As he spoke, he handed over a few thousand Hong Kong dollars in Mai Cheng's hand, and said: "This money is not much, it is a little bit of the eldest brother's heart, so it will be regarded as the eldest brother supporting you to study." â
Lin Yao never thought that he was a bad person, and if he had the ability, he was willing to provide some help to those in need.
Especially when this kind of help can change the person's life.
Huang Yatou's family tragedy touched him deeply, he didn't know if he didn't know, he didn't know, he knew it, he felt that he could do something.
For him, a few thousand Hong Kong dollars is not much, and it is only the money of a few cigars.
But for Huang Yatou, it may change her future.
"It's too much for me to want."
Huang Tingting's eyes were flustered.
The people of this era were simple, and they did not take it for granted to spend men's money like the girls of later generations.
What's more, everyone is not related to each other.
"Take it, Brother Yao is the big boss, I rely on him for food, and this money is really just a little bit of caution in his opinion."
Mai Cheng said on the side: "Your father's leg injury is very serious, and he can't do heavy work after he is recuperated, you are the one who needs this money the most." â
Hearing this, Huang Tingting hesitated again and again, bit her lip and accepted the money.
She couldn't refuse the money because it wasn't her who needed it, but her father.
The compensation given by the factory is almost spent, but the medical expenses for the next month have not yet been settled, and she can't care about her father's life or death for the sake of her self-esteem.
"Where are the dealers everywhere?"
"Over here..."
Under the leadership of Mai Cheng, Lin Yao went to see the dealers below.
Different from the image of the big boss in later generations, these municipal agents under Lin Yao are dressed more plainly than farmers.
If it weren't for the liberation truck parked behind them, he would have wondered if these people were going to use the ox cart to haul the goods away.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is our big boss, Mr. Lin Yao, a famous Hong Kong businessman."
When Mai Cheng introduced Lin Yao, he gave him the title of a famous Hong Kong businessman.
Everyone did not doubt that if two or three hundred household appliances went to the mainland a day, one household appliance would cost several thousand yuan, and the person who did such a big deal was not a big boss.
"Hello Mr. Lin, I am Zhang Hucheng, a dealer in Zhouhui City."
"Mr. Lin, I'm Zhao Guangyi, a dealer in Shanfo City."
Eight dealers dressed as old farmers stepped forward one by one to shake hands with Lin Yao.
Lin Yao looked at everyone's dress, and Lang Shuang smiled: "I heard Mai Cheng say that you guys make a lot of money, why are you dressed so shabby?" â
"This..."
Several dealers glanced at each other, and a dealer in Zhouhui City, who was in his forties, named Zhang Hucheng, said: "It's not that we don't want to wear a little better, but the current policy is not clear, and it is easy to have problems if it is too high-profile." â
As soon as the others heard this, they opened their mouths one after another: "Yes, it's too high-profile and easy to have problems, the founder of the fool Guazi, have you heard of it?"
Some time ago, he was arrested again, saying that he hired more than a dozen workers, and it was the restoration of capitalists. â
"Boss!"
Lin Yao sighed and nodded, making a fortune in a muffled voice is the main theme of this era, if anyone dares to scream, you will wait to be cleaned up.
On the one hand, people who are aggressive or unwilling to be ordinary have begun to go to the sea to do business.
On the other hand, society is polarized, and these people who go to the sea to do business look down on them in every way, and regard entering the factory as a worker as the most face-saving thing.
In fact, not to mention those who sell electricity, they are small traders who have the courage to go to the street to sell fried goods, fruits, and vegetables, and earn several times the wages of workers in a month.
There is a singer surnamed Zheng in Wanwan, and he released a song "The Great National" in 93.
There are two lyrics in it: 1 billion people, 900 million businessmen, and 100 million are waiting.
In less than ten years, the thinking will begin to change, not to mention ordinary people, even county-level and city-level leaders, there will be a large number of people who choose to go to the sea to do business.
Everything is about money and making money.
"The eight of you are municipal dealers in Handong Province, and we have been dealing with each other for two months.
Recently, someone told me that two or three hundred household appliances are shipped from Handong every day, which has aroused the vigilance of the above.
I have decided to change our sales methods, and I would like to appoint eight of you as sales agents in the eight southern provinces, each of whom is responsible for one province, so that the people and goods will be dispersed, so that it will be safer to operate. â
Lin Yao led these dealers to walk on the coast of the small fishing village, and asked without looking back, "What do you think?" â
"Each person is responsible for a province, and then the next family will find the next family, this development model is correct, but I don't know..."
Zhao Guangyi, the agent of Shanfo, pushed his glasses and asked: "How many goods can we get every month, and I am afraid that we will not be able to make a signboard if the goods are less." â
Lin Yao thought about his own transportation capacity, and then thought about the situation in the eight southern provinces, and said: "Each provincial distributor has no less than 1,000 TVs per month. â
There are more than 20 cities in a province, and even more when you count county-level cities and county seats.
If 1,000 household appliances are dispersed, a county or city will be divided into 10 and 8 units, and the sales will only exceed demand.
"A thousand?"
Everyone thought about it, less is less, but it is enough to open up the situation.
The most important thing is that in the future, their identity will no longer be a municipal dealer but a provincial level, and everyone is in charge of a province.
1,000 appliances per month, just the current supply.
In the future, 1,000 units may become 2,000, and 2,000 may become 4,000.
In 1985, according to the national statistics of the Tang Dynasty, there were nearly 12 million television sets, with an average of one television per eight households in urban areas and one television in rural areas.
Of course, we're talking about black-and-white TV.
Before 1990, black-and-white television accounted for 87% of people's family life, and then the market share of black-and-white television was gradually replaced by colored television.
The TVs smuggled by Lin Yao from Hong Kong Island are all color TVs, and the quality is absolutely passable.
Not to mention five years,It's ten years,Until 1995,This batch of TVs is not necessarily worse than domestic color TVsă
Otherwise, his smuggled appliances would not be so popular.
At this stage, the price of a domestic 14-inch black-and-white TV is 500-800 Tang dollars.
Converted to 1700-2800 Hong Kong dollars.
As for the color TV he smuggled, because it does not include customs duties, one only costs 1,500 Tang dollars, which is 5,200 Hong Kong dollars.
One is a black-and-white TV and the other is an imported color TV.
Fools know how to choose, right?
In these days, if anyone in the countryside has a TV, half the village will come to your house to watch it.
If someone's TV is in color, move it to the door, and the people from the next village will come.
It's no joke.
It would be nice to have 100 households in a village.
There are only thirty or fifty households in the small village, and on average, there are only one or two TVs in a village.
Put down the future generations, that is, who bought the Mercedes-Benz BMW.
Even, the shock of Mercedes-Benz BMW is not as shocking as the shock brought by the TV.
People who have not experienced this era are difficult to understand the impact when people can see the 83 version of the Legend of the Condor Heroes from a small box.
You have a TV at home, and the village girl can choose whatever you want.
