36 Electrical Lines

Kowloon's earliest electrical street is located in Apliu Street, Sham Shui Po, the first electrical shop was opened by overseas Chinese, and later became famous for selling TVs and stereos.

In recent years, the pavement of Yaliao Street is loess, the street faΓ§ade is very low, there is no new trend in the electronics industry in the electrical appliance store, the signboards and containers are stacked at the door, and the boss is hidden in the cramped platform, and no one is welding transistors when there is no light, like the ancient Huaqiangbei.

Ni Kun pulled the big boss to the door of a small shop, wiped his forehead with a sweat towel, and said loudly: "Boss, the place has arrived." ”

"This shop has a good reputation among its peers, it is considered to be of good quality and low price, and it has never been a rip-off."

He Dingxian stepped out of the car and looked up at the signboard: "Xiaoqing Electric Shop." ”

He nodded and entered the shop, and when he saw that the boss was still busy, he visited alone.

Radios, turntables, and layers are stacked on top of each other, prices are marked underneath other machines, and there is even an area dedicated to second-hand goods, and a large number of accessories are scattered in one corner.

In addition, two TVs are placed in the highest place as a faΓ§ade, which is more significant for display than for sale. Because TV sets are only popular abroad these years, all of them are paid channels, and the average Chinese can't afford to consume them at all, only the ghost chief's house will put a TV set, and the world's first discourse TV station will also be approved in six years.

At this time, the boss "Wu Xiaoqing" put down the work at hand, wore a sweatshirt, but wore sleeves on his hands, and walked over and introduced: "Boss, there are Japanese, American, and British goods, if you just want to listen to the news, it is recommended to buy a second-hand Sony." ”

"If it's a gift, the British will buy British goods, and the Americans will buy American goods, and these years the ghosts like to support their own things."

He Dingxian looked at the capable middle-aged boss with interest and asked, "I want to buy one with a clear voice and a reasonable price, and I can listen to the radio at home." ”

Wu Xiaoqing is in his thirties, can support the stall of the electrical appliance store, has hard work at hand, and immediately pointed to a machine with the palm of his hand: "Nissan's Sony, seventy percent of the new second-hand goods, can be used for ten years to change an antenna and speaker, but the antenna is easy to break, and you have to change one in two or three years." ”

He Dingxian said with satisfaction: "The price of the antenna is cheap, and the machine looks new, how much does it cost!" ”

Wu Xiaoqing raised three fingers: "Two hundred and fifty yuan!" ”

He Dingxian felt a little painful: "It's almost a month's salary, it's really not like ordinary people can have a big item at home, but fortunately, I will be able to earn 100,000 yuan a month next month, and it's not too much to treat myself." ”

He asked cheerfully, "Can it be cheaper?" ”

Wu Xiaoqing replied with a smile: "Everyone asks like this, does everyone like the process of bargaining, and always think that if you get the price, you will make money?" Don't be sorry, my firm is the real price, and I refuse to make a counteroffer. ”

He Dingxian felt very interesting: "Since it is a real price, I will not make a counteroffer, but don't let me know that it is more expensive than what is sold outside, otherwise I will ask someone to smash your store, and there are any goods from the water to sell me?" Parallel goods must be cheaper! ”

He still instinctively felt that the electrical appliance store liked to quote indiscriminately, and there were too many guys who took advantage of the poor information to make money in his previous life, and the electrical appliance city was notorious.

Wu Xiaoqing pointed to the store with a simple face, and exaggerated: "Big guy, everything you can see in the store is all parallel goods, if it weren't for parallel goods, it would have to rise by at least another 100 yuan, do you really think there is such a good money?" All of them are imported, all of them are here to make money from your Chinese people, I don't want to sell domestic goods, what do you think I can do? ”

He Dingxian also felt embarrassed when he heard this, took out a small stack of Hong Kong dollars in his arms, put it on the expensive table of the merchant bank, and said: "Two hundred and fifty yuan, a little bit, I will call someone to carry the goods." ”

Wu Xiaoqing didn't rush to count the money on the table, he lifted it out with his hands and feet neatly, He Dingxian saw this and beckoned to Ni Kun outside, Ni Kun came in and carried the goods into the car, Wu Xiaoqing did everything before returning to the shop to count the money, locked the money, and said with a smile: "Thank you boss, thank you for the sun." ”

He Dingxian felt that the boss had some insight in his conversation, and he was also very thoughtful in business, and it seemed that he was a descendant of a certain merchant family, and he must have read when he was a child, and now he has found a business in the middle of the road and has kept a shop to make a living.

This kind of person is like a carp crossing the river on Hong Kong Island, countless, but the owner of this electrical appliance shop has a good principle of doing business, and has found a business that will become more and more profitable in the future.

"Do you have a phone, a business card, if the machine is good, I will introduce a friend to your store to buy it." He Dingxian wanted to try to make friends.

Wu Xiaoqing shook his head with a depressed face: "I didn't pull the phone line, the monthly rent is not cost-effective, introduce a friend and directly report the name of Aqing on Yaliao Street, and if you want to find me to call the street grocery store." ”

He Dingxian nodded understandingly: "No problem." ”

Hong Kong Island is actually the first Chinese city to develop the electronics industry, only about ten years later than the Japanese island, earlier than Taiwan Island, was expected to catch up with the Japanese island, so that the electronics industry became an economic engine, in the seventies and eighties to shine, but unfortunately the port city "is not as good as selling" characteristics, in the capital perspective of the industrial capacity of Hong Kong Island.

However, Hong Kong Island has also accumulated mature electronic technology in decades of maintenance, sales and manufacturing, and the technology accumulation of Shencheng Huaqiangbei first came from Hong Kong Chai, and the brothers who are related by blood are also intertwined with each other in technology and economy.

He Dingxian felt that it was quite comfortable to take a stroll around the electrical street with nothing to do, even if there was no dazzling array of electronic products in later generations, but he could also smell a hint of modernity in the barbaric world, like people in the city plunging into the primeval forest, breathing natural oxygen and feeling happy.

He Dingxian sat on the rickshaw with a radio in his hand, and after coming all the way to Shanghai Street, he first asked Ni Kun to send the electrical appliances home alone, and then came to the office of the movie store company alone, Wu Shihao, Wu Shijie, Jiang Yanhong and several people wore white shirts, sat at a square table to make tea, and when they saw the big boss coming, they quickly got up and shouted: "Boss He, Boss He!" ”

"Sit down." He Dingxian waved his hand to several subordinates, and didn't care that a few people were lazy, or that their work had changed and become essentially middle-level management, in addition to patrolling the movie store at a fixed point, the rest of the work only needed to be responsible for smoothing out the boss's troubles, and drinking tea in free time was a good habit, which was better than getting drunk and smoking big cigarettes.
