Chapter 373 Li Ping'an saves a TV
"That's it, I look at this program list, there is a program at 7 o'clock in the evening, so you can work overtime at night, and strive to tune out the program at night, so that everyone can watch TV, no problem, right?" Under the admiring gaze of the surrounding workers, Li Huaide was a little fluttering, patted Li Ping'an's shoulder and asked.
"Of course, there is no problem, it is my bounden duty to let all the employees enjoy the country's advanced technology as soon as possible."
said that he was asking Li Ping'an's opinion, but did Li Ping'an dare not agree? If you don't agree, the workers around you who are looking forward to it can greet Li Ping'an's ancestors for eighteen generations.
As soon as these words landed, there was a burst of thunderous applause at the scene, and the workers applauded one after another.
Seeing that there were no programs to watch, Li Huaide instructed the workers to put away the television sets and make a room vacant for proper storage.
and ordered a special person to follow Li Ping'an to learn the use of the TV, and announced in public that the TV in the factory should be strictly protected, and no one was allowed to touch it except for the employees who took care of the TV.
After everything was arranged, Li Huaide gave Li Ping'an a look, and the two came to a remote corner.
"Safety, isn't our factory planning to purchase two TVs this time, this one has already arrived in the factory, how to buy the other one, do you have any ideas now?"
"Director, there is no ticket for another TV, I must have to find a way to get a ticket, I already have a little idea about another TV, that is, the cost is relatively high, and I don't know if it is convenient to go to the account in the factory at that time."
Hearing that another TV already had an idea, Li Huaide waved his hand unconcernedly, and approved Li Ping'an with a fund of 2,000 yuan, if it is not enough, it can be studied again, he doesn't care how much it will cost, he only needs a TV.
Two thousand yuan seems like a lot, if you use it to buy a TV, it's really not too much, with the scarcity of a TV, the cost of getting a TV ticket is not much less than the money needed to buy a TV, it may be higher than the price of a TV, and there is no way, and you can't get a TV ticket by spending money.
With Li Huaide's promise, Li Ping'an can do it boldly with confidence, without worrying about funds.
Back in his office, Wu Yajun took the initiative to come up and congratulated with a smile: "Congratulations, congratulations, this is a victory, the first TV set was bought, so the second one should not be far away, right?" β
"It's not far, it's not far, there is already a way, and I can buy it back soon, so I don't have to worry about you, section chief" Glancing at Wu Yajun, Li Ping'an said nonchalantly.
"Hehe, that's the best, then I wish you success" Wu Yajun didn't believe in Li Ping'an's words, not a single punctuation mark, is the TV so easy to get? I just thought the young man was bragging.
After getting off work in the afternoon, Ding Qiunan took the initiative to stay in the factory and did not go back, saying that he was going to work overtime with Li Ping'an, but in fact, he was thinking that he would be able to see what was going on with the TV up close.
Li Ping'an didn't break Ding Qiunan's careful thoughts, and when he debugged the TV at night, he specially arranged a front seat for Ding Qiunan to sit down, so that she could get close to the high-tech in the eyes of people now.
"Hey, there's a picture."
"It's amazing, there's nothing in such a small thing, how does this reveal the portrait"
With the exclamation of everyone, the program that was being played appeared in the small black and white TV, which was a small short film in the style of a model play, and the content was very in line with the special of this era, it is worth mentioning that there is no storage setting now, and all the content played in the TV is live broadcast.
The first domestic TV series Bites of Cake, including the 66-year-old TV series Jiao Yulu, was all broadcast in the form of live broadcasts.
The program has been broadcast, Li Ping'an's task has been completed, left the TV, came to the front row Ding Qiunan prepared a stool for himself to sit down, and watched TV with everyone.
In the evening, there are still a lot of programs prepared by the TV station, from literary programs to feature films, which are broadcast for two hours in a row, and the big guys are watching with relish.
The end time of the TV station in the evening is not fixed, and it is confirmed according to the broadcast of the program on the day, and it ends at 9 o'clock if it is fast, and no more than 9:30 if it is late.
The two-hour time ended quickly, everyone in the rolling mill watched TV for the first time, and waited for the curtain call to end, and the TV flashed back to the snowflake screen, and everyone was reluctant to leave.
Li Ping'an, who was about to fall asleep watching TV, pushed Ding Qiunan, who was still staring intently at the snowflake screen: "Let's go, the TV is over, we should go home and sleep."
"It's still early, wait, maybe you can broadcast a portrait later" Ding Qiunan, who watched TV for the first time, obviously didn't want to leave, stared at the TV picture, and said without turning his head.
Seeing this situation, Li Ping'an was speechless, anyway, the workers who had just watched TV did not leave, and Li Ping'an had to sit stupidly in front of the TV with Ding Qiunan.
Everyone sat stupidly like this, until the guy who was assigned to manage the TV looked at the form and made sure that there was no show to continue playing, and then stepped forward to turn off the TV, and then everyone talked and left.
The air was still very cold in the late autumn night, Ding Qiunan's stomach was already very big, Li Ping'an was reluctant to let Ding Qiunan be frozen, so he left his bicycle in the factory, returned to the office and took out the key in the drawer, and prepared to drive Ding Qiunan home.
As soon as he helped Ding Qiunan to sit in the co-pilot, Silly Zhu and Yu Li ran over and asked to rub the car, which Li Ping'an naturally would not refuse.
On the way home, in addition to Li Ping'an, the three of them chattered endlessly about the content on the TV just now, and Li Ping'an's head was noisy.
I finally returned to the courtyard, who thought about it, the people in the courtyard still didn't sleep, and they gathered together in groups of three or five, talking about the fact that there was a TV in the rolling mill.
When a group of neighbors saw Li Ping'an and a few of them coming back from watching TV, they immediately gathered around and chattered about the mood of watching TV for the first time.
Li Ping'an didn't get involved, Ding Qiunan and Yu Li were women, with the shyness of women, and they were also embarrassed to show off, only Silly Zhu was alone with a broken gong and a broken voice, talking loudly about the TV in the courtyard, which attracted the admiration of many children in the courtyard.
Now is really the highlight moment of the stupid pillar, and many children in the courtyard regard the stupid pillar as an idol.
The eldest girl, the child, stood beside the stupid pillar with the enamel jar of the stupid pillar, ready to hand water to her stepfather at any time, straightened her small body vigorously, and proudly glanced at her peers around her.
Xu Damao, who came back on a bicycle in the back, saw Silly Zhu in the courtyard in the limelight, bragging about what was going on with the TV, and his teeth itched with anger.
Seeing his daughter-in-law listening to the stupid pillar showing off in the crowd, she pushed the bicycle angrily, grabbed Qin Jingru's arm and walked to the backyard.
In the evening, the big party in the courtyard tossed for more than half an hour, until the stupid pillar had nothing to say, and then gradually left.
Li Ping'an didn't go to work the next day, and now his main task is to buy back the TV that Li Huaide needs, and everything else is trivial, until the end of the month, Li Ping'an can openly skip work in the name of purchasing TVs, and he can also get a business trip subsidy.
Li Ping'an did not go directly to the consular area to squat, but was going to exchange the old-fashioned imported TV set in the market.
I went directly to the trust store to find Wang Dakui to see if he had any channels to get a second-hand tattered TV here.
If it were any other city, it would be impossible to find a TV in the second-hand market, but who would have made the city in which it was located.
In the 50s, a number of big brother's televisions were imported into China, although the number was not much, but all of them were concentrated here in Sijiu City, and there were other returned overseas Chinese who brought them back, as well as diplomats from other countries, all of which added up to a considerable number.
Big Brother's military heavy industry is indeed powerful, it can launch satellites and build the world's most advanced tanks and planes, but it is only heavy industry.
Their light industry is in a mess,The TV produced is even more frequent,The first batch of imported big brother TVs has been more than ten years now,It is estimated that it is almost broken,Look carefully in the market,There is a great chance to find oneγ
Li Ping'an studied electronics in his previous life, although he was a junior college, but he also knew some of the technology here, and now the domestic TV industry has developed, and TV accessories can still be obtained on the market, and it should not be a big problem to buy a bad early Soviet model TV to repair it.
When Wang Dakui heard that Li Ping'an was going to buy a TV, he immediately looked at Li Ping'an with a fool's gaze, and touched Li Ping'an's forehead with his hand.
"What are you doing here" Li Ping'an knocked away his outstretched hand and asked puzzled.
"It's okay, just to see if you're burnt out, what's the matter, can you come to our trust store and ask if there is a TV for sale, that thing is expensive, if there is, I would have let the leader move a long time ago."
"I don't want a good one, a bad big brother can give birth, you just say if there is one"
After repeatedly making sure that what Li Ping'an said was true and not joking, Wang Dakui thought for a while, beckoned his colleagues next to him to help him look at the counter, and led Li Ping'an to the warehouse behind.
Seeing Wang Dakui's appearance was like a play, Li Ping'an hurriedly followed Wang Dakui's footsteps and came to the warehouse together.
Came to a corner that seemed to be piled up with garbage, and a lot of dust had fallen on it, and after a little rummaging, the dust flew all over the sky, and the two people who choked coughed.
Wang Dakui rummaged through it and took out two TVs.
"We only have these two TVs in the warehouse.,Both are produced by Big Brother.,It's good in advance, it's all bad.,If you want it, I'll ask you for the price"
Li Ping'an took a brief look, a square wooden box, a long wooden box, both of them are dead, Big Brother's civilian goods just can't work, it's far worse than Lao Mei's, the screen is very small and about the size of a palm, and a lens is added to the outside and placed in front of the screen, it seems that it should be the effect of magnifying the screen.
The appearance is very well preserved, except for some dust and small scratches, there is no problem with the appearance.
"Okay, you go and ask how much it is, if the price is not expensive, I will take both of them" Li Ping'an patted the dust on his hands, stood up and said.
"Dude, even if this thing is broken, it is also a precious thing, I estimate that I will ask you at least a hundred yuan, and no one of us can repair it, I bought two broken ones at that time, I just wanted to let the master save parts to make a good one, who knows that the box outside the TV is opened, the inside is too complicated, the master of our unit doesn't understand, and I haven't dared to start" The two have been familiar with each other for so long, Wang Dakui couldn't help but remind.
I understand what Wang Dakui means, this is worried that he will spend money and go back with two scrap products, and people are kind, so Li Ping'an also gave him a bottom: "Don't worry, you just ask, this is bought for the factory, no matter how you get it, I can't lose it."
When Wang Dakui heard this, he didn't say anything more, and went directly to the leader to ask the price.
In the end, these two broken TVs were bought by Li Ping'an at a price of 80 yuan, and the ticket was paid smoothly, and with the help of Wang Dakui, the two clean TVs were loaded into cardboard boxes and carried to the jeep, and Wang Dakui was thrown to the front door with a pack, and Li Ping'an sat in the driver's seat and walked away.
When I returned to the courtyard, I happened to meet Yan Jiekuang and a few classmates who were not good at class playing at the door with red armbands, so he beckoned Yan Jiekuang to come over: "Xie Kuang, come and help me carry things"
Commanding Yan Xie Kuang and one of his classmates to help carry the TV into the house, he took out a few toffees from Ding Qiunan's snack cabinet and sent the two away.
First of all, I tried to power on all the two TVs, one of the power lights on, but it can't be turned on normally, and the other can be turned on, but after the screen flashes for a while, the screen will automatically go black.
But from this aspect, he couldn't see what was broken, so Li Ping'an took out the tools he borrowed from the car repair shop at the corner of the street, and prepared to unload the two TVs to take a look.
Just when Li Ping'an was dismantling the machine, an aunt came in from outside and wanted to ask Li Ping'an what he was eating at noon, and when she saw the machine that Li Ping'an dismantled, she asked curiously: "Ping'an, what are these two boxes?" Radio? β
"Auntie, this is not a radio, this is the TV set I said last night, I bought two bad ones from the trust store and came back, see if I can save a new one" Li Ping'an, who was busy working, said without raising his head.
"Ah, the TV, that's not a bicycle, can you save it?"
"Try it, anyway, it's for the factory, if you save it, sell it to the factory to make a profit, if you don't save it, the factory will reimburse the money for these two machines."
Aunt Yi nodded and didn't say anything, went out to cook for Li Ping'an, leaving Li Ping'an alone to continue to save TV sets in the house.
