Early the next morning.

Li Yange went out and dragged Yu Chengli to the state-owned musical instrument store.

Riding the bicycle that my father had left behind today, I arrived at the door of the musical instrument store, and there were only a few customers scattered inside.

When he was about to go in, Yu Chengli was timid: "Yan Ge, why don't you go in alone, I'll wait for you at the door." ”

"Okay, then you wait for me outside." Li Yange didn't care, and strode into the musical instrument store.

Compared with the enthusiastic service of later generations, the two salesmen in the counter sat on chairs, blowing electric fans, and knocking melon seeds in a chic manner, with an attitude of whether you like to buy or not, and I don't want to buy it.

"Hello, may I ask if your store manager is there?" Li Yange stepped forward with a smile and asked.

"Store manager? You mean the director, right? What do you want our director to do? ”

"Excuse me, I have something I want to talk to your director about."

The salesperson was a woman in her thirties and forties, she looked Li Yange up and down, and saw that she was wearing a white shirt and black long-legged pants, and although her face was immature, her hair was neatly combed, and she looked like a young man who had just joined the work.

"Then you wait a minute."

The salesperson didn't know who Li Yange was, and when he saw that he came up, he looked for the director, just as he was from a certain unit, put down the melon seeds in his hand, patted the ashes and walked into the small room in the musical instrument store.

After a while, the salesperson led a middle-aged man with glasses out.

Maybe it was because he heard the salesman talk about it, but as soon as the man came out, he found Li Yange and said, "I'm Xu Hongwen, the director of the musical instrument store, I don't know what you're looking for me with this little comrade?" ”

"Hello Director Xu, my name is Li Yange, and I came this time to talk about cooperation with your musical instrument store."

"Cooperation? What unit are you from? ”

Director Xu only thought that Li Yange was sent by a certain unit, and wanted to buy some musical instruments from a musical instrument store and go back to build a musical instrument team of a unit or something.

Li Yange shook his head and said, "I don't have any unit, I just want to cooperate with your musical instrument store." ”

When Director Xu heard that there was no unit, his attitude immediately changed: "No unit? I'm sorry, but our musical instrument store is state-run and doesn't work with private individuals. ”

"Excuse me."

Li Yange walked away without any delay.

The state-run stores in the 80s were still a little too arrogant, not at all like the 90s after the wave of going to the sea was full of flowers, because the number of laid-off workers was increasing, and everyone was afraid that they would lose their iron jobs, so their attitude improved slightly.

Li Yange had also expected this, so looking at the appearance of this Director Xu, he didn't bother to say anything, and walked out directly.

When he got outside, Yu Chengli came up and asked how the conversation was.

Li Yange shook his head: "The musical instrument store is no longer good, the musical instrument factory I asked before knows how to go on the road?" ”

"I only asked about Jinhua Road, and my parents didn't know the specifics."

"Then let's go to Jinhua Road first."

Li Yange sat on the bicycle with both feet, and after beckoning Yu Chengli to come up, the two went straight to the musical instrument factory.

……

In the 50s, Rongcheng built a musical instrument factory, and the musical instruments produced in it were originally varied.

However, later a violin called Baihua brand became famous, not only in Chengdu has a great reputation, but also exported to surrounding cities and other provinces, and the musical instrument factory has gradually begun to produce violins.

As soon as I arrived at Jinhua Road, I asked passers-by to ask questions, and finally found the Rongcheng Musical Instrument Factory near Chenhui East Road.

Looking at the doorman at the gate, Li Yange got out of the car and pushed the bicycle to the guard's room, "Master, we are from the Rongcheng Art Troupe, I don't know where your sales department is?" ”

"Of the art troupe?"

The doorman looked at Li Yange, the young man who marked the mark, he looked okay, he should have just joined the work not long ago.

Looking up and looking back, the other person didn't look good, his face was full of acne, and he didn't know how he got into the art troupe.

The doorman shook his head, pointed to the back and said, "After entering, turn right, and you can see a three-story building, and the sales department will find it on the first floor." ”

"Okay, thanks."

Li Yange pushed the bicycle inside, and Yu Chengli followed timidly.

It wasn't until he entered the factory and parked the bicycle under the bicycle shed that Yu Chengli relaxed, "Yan Ge, how do you say that we are from the art troupe?" ”

Li Yange said: "Not to mention the art troupe, do you think the doorman at the door will let us in?" ”

At this time, the guards of the state-owned factories were still very strict, and the musical instrument factories were quite good, just a little interrogation, unlike some large state-owned factories, such as metallurgical factories and woolen mills, where they could not enter without a letter of introduction from the unit.

"Are you sure the instrument factory will lend you a musical instrument?" Yu Chengli asked.

"I don't know, I'll have to ask."

The two walked all the way, only to see the surrounding green trees, there were several factories in front of them, which creaked and made strange sounds, and after a while, they saw a three-story small building.

When he arrived at the entrance of the sales department, Li Yange tidied up his clothes and strode in.

……

A few minutes later.

Li Yange walked out with a little loss.

Sure enough, it still didn't work, and when I heard that there was no introduction from the unit, the sales section chief also changed his face instantly.

Looking at his lost expression, Yu Chengli said, "Didn't succeed? ”

Li Yange said a little helplessly: "Well, I can only find a way to see if I can ask from a private musical instrument store, if it really doesn't work, I'll find my grandfather and ask him to borrow some old musical instruments from the art troupe." ”

He actually had a good idea, looking for a state-run musical instrument store or a musical instrument factory to cooperate, first borrow a few musical instruments from them, and then find a way to rent the idle factory building of the Red Star Sewing Factory, and then start recruiting students.

Since it is to learn musical instruments, students must buy them, not to mention the expensive ones, and the parents of cheaper musical instruments are still willing to spend money to buy them, but it is a pity that whether it is a musical instrument store or a musical instrument factory, they can't look down on his small business cooperation.

"Then my three hundred dollars are gone." Yu Chengli's face was embarrassed, last night, he was fantasizing about how to spend it after getting three hundred yuan, and he was naturally disappointed when he heard that he was going to make a bath.

"Not necessarily, private musical instrument shops may be able to cooperate."

Li Yange is not discouraged, if he can't even do this little thing, wouldn't it be more tiring to rent a factory building and recruit students later?

This has to be Rongcheng, if it is in the coastal area of Guangdong, the factory would like you to come to talk about cooperation and help sell musical instruments.

Rongcheng, a super inland city, is still a beat slower, until the 90s when the tide rises, these state-owned enterprises can really understand that the general trend of history can not be changed, do not conform to the trend, and still hold the old ideas, it is only a dead end.

"The two little comrades over there, wait!"

Just as the two of them were pushing their bicycles and approaching the doorman, someone from behind them shouted.

Li Yange looked back and saw that an old man with white sideburns was walking towards him, it was the old man from Naxun who he met at the Wuhou Temple the day before yesterday.

"You are the little comrade at the Wuhou Temple the day before yesterday, right?"

The old man may not have a good eye, but when he got closer, he took his reading glasses from the pocket of his shirt and put them on.

"Yes, I didn't expect to meet the old man today." Li Yange smiled, she didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

"You're not an employee of a musical instrument factory, are you? I haven't seen you in the factory before. ”

The old man is wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, army green trousers, and a pair of reading glasses today, revealing the temperament of an old cadre inside and out.
