Li Mingyu agreed to the three-year agreement and signed the agreement.

Over the next three years, he will become a less formal apprentice and learn neon making from Li Shun.

The monthly salary is 100 yuan, an average of 3 yuan a day, and I can barely eat three meals.

But Li Shun took care of the meal, and lunch and dinner were eaten for free, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

"Are your sister-in-law's conditions too harsh?" Lee Soon Soon.

"I'm not harsh, I'm willing to learn without a salary." Lee Mingyu was very happy.

If he were Li Shun, he wouldn't give the neon craft to anyone.

In fact, Li Shun didn't want to teach, but making neon lights was too bitter, too tiring and too hot, like roasting suckling pig in the oven.

The two brothers worked overtime until late at night, and finally finished the neon lights, during which Li Shun asked Li Mingyu to do some simple operations.

Two days later, the advertising sign, 12 meters long and 1.5 meters high, was produced, and the layout was blue aluminum-plastic panel.

The crowd stood on scaffolding, installing titanium lettering on the wooden planks and neon signs on the titanium lettering.

The installation method is quite cumbersome, use a hand drill to punch holes along the outline of the titanium lettering and fix the neon bracket.

The bracket is the size of an index finger, the whole body is plastic, and the bottom is a metal sheet, which is fastened to titanium with rivets. At the top is a metal buckle that holds the neon tube.

Fix all the lamps, connect the electrode head with a high-voltage wire, and connect the transformer to the power supply.

Li Shun added a timer to the neon signs, which automatically powered on at eight o'clock every night and automatically turned off at twelve o'clock at night.

The family waited in the advertising store, and by eight o'clock in the evening, the neon lights were on time.

In the middle of the signboard is the text, emitting a red light, and the eight big characters of Lanxian Li Han Advertising Media are particularly dazzling.

The billboard is surrounded by marquee, and Li Shun has installed electronic controllers, flashing red and white light alternately.

"Husband, the neon signs are so beautiful." Han Ying was a little excited, staring intently at the billboard.

"Brother, this is the first neon sign in our county, right?" Li Xiaoxia said.

"Yes." Li Shun nodded, although the neon sign is beautiful, the disadvantage is power consumption.

Passers-by on the street stopped to eat melons and point at the neon signs.

Novelty can always attract people's interest, and the more people who eat melons, the better the advertising effect.

The people who eat melons are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers, maybe there is a big boss hidden in it, maybe they will come over tomorrow to buy neon lights.

The advertising store officially opened, Li Shun did not hold the opening ceremony, nor did he notify relatives and friends, focusing on a low-key one.

There will be no business when it first opens, and the employees of the advertising store will go to work in the cold drink factory first, and Li Shun and Li Mingyu will be left in the store.

At noon that day, the brothers were drinking tea when a motorcycle was parked outside the store.

The driver was a young brother, who parked and walked into the store, wearing a suit and carrying a leather bag.

"Hello brother, welcome." Li Shun stood up to receive him.

"Hello, I'd like to ask about Neon." The young man said with a smile.

"Sit down and have tea." Li Shun asked Li Mingyu to take a teacup and make a cup of the best Tieguanyin.

The two sides sat on the sofa and chatted, talking and laughing nonsense, introducing themselves to each other.

The young man's name is Xie Hongbo, and he is the owner of the Liansheng Hotel opposite the train station, which shocked Li Shun.

Liansheng Hotel has five floors, and the accommodation conditions are among the best in the county, but I didn't expect the boss to be a young man.

As the chat deepened, Li Shun couldn't help but give a thumbs up when he learned that the other party was only thirty years old.

You can open a hotel at the age of thirty, and you can also be very good in the future, Xie Hongbo is a powerful person.

"Boss Li, you made the iron script of the pharmaceutical company, right?"

"Yes, I made the tin letters, the door heads, and the signs."

"I want to make four iron characters in Liansheng Hotel, plus neon lights, you quote me a price."

"Okay, please wait."

Li Shun took out a letter from the drawer, took a pen and wrote a list in the notebook, and calculated the material and wage wages.

"Brother Hong Bo, the hotel is a five-story building, and the iron characters must be at least two meters large, otherwise they can't be seen clearly." Li Shun said.

The human eye sees things near and far, standing on the ground and looking at the fifth floor, if the words are too small, it is indeed difficult to see.

Xie Hongbo nodded, and Li Shun introduced the advertising plan as a gift:

"The iron character is charged according to the square, and the two-meter word is four squares, and each square is 100 yuan." Li Shun said.

Xie Hongbo frowned lightly, four hundred yuan per word, one thousand six thousand words for four words, a bit expensive.

"The iron characters are installed on the roof of the building, which requires steel structure and cement fixation, and the installation fee needs two thousand four."

Four iron characters cost 4,000 yuan, Xie Hongbo felt a little expensive, and said with a smile:

"How do you charge for neon signs?"

"Neon lights are charged by the meter, and before making these four words, you need a forty-meter tube, and one meter is a hundred yuan."

Xie Hongbo frowned again, four thousand yuan for iron characters and four thousand yuan for neon lights, adding up to eight thousand yuan.

Li Mingyu next to him was stunned, what is the concept of eight thousand yuan, his salary for eight years.

"It costs eight thousand to advertise, isn't it?" Xie Hongbo said.

"Actually, it's not high, the iron characters and doors of the pharmaceutical company cost 20,000 yuan." Li Shun gave an example.

"They have a lot of money, I can't compare!" Xie Hongbo waved his hand:

"Brother Li quotes the lowest price, if it is suitable, I will consider it."

"Brother Hong Bo, you are my first customer, this is already a discount to the end. In this way, I will give you a two-year warranty, and free repair within two years. ”

"A two-year warranty is the most basic, right? Spend 8,000 yuan to make a signboard, can you still do it warranty? ”

"Warranty, but only for one year. You are my first customer after opening and I give you a two-year warranty. ”

Xie Hongbo was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head, stood up and stretched out his right hand:

"I'll think about it, thank you Boss Li for your hospitality."

"Okay, here's my business card, you can contact me anytime."

Li Shun stood up and shook hands with him, took out a business card for him, and sent him to the door of the store.

Xie Hongbo left on a motorcycle, and when the brothers returned to the store, Li Mingyu asked in a low voice:

"Brother Shun, if he agrees to the offer of 8,000 yuan, how much can we earn?"

"It's not much, about a thousand dollars."

Li Shun didn't tell the truth, whether it was iron or neon, the actual cost was white iron sheet and glass tube.

If Xie Hongbo accepts the offer, he can earn at least 4,000 yuan.

Nowadays, advertising is similar to carpentry, and it earns money for craftsmanship.

"Isn't that incredible?" Li Shun said.

Li Mingyu nodded heavily, eight thousand yuan was an astronomical amount for him, and he could marry a daughter-in-law.

"Don't let poverty limit your imagination, there are many rich people. A Santana is 1780,000 yuan, and someone still buys it. ”

"Brother Shun is right. But Boss Xie seems to be too expensive, can we take this business down? ”

"I don't know, it depends on whether Xie Hongbo has the courage to spend a lot of money on advertising."

Li Shun picked up the teacup, crossed Erlang's legs to drink tea, and decided to wait and see what happened.

Wait for three days first, if Xie Hongbo doesn't give feedback after three days, you have to take the initiative to contact him.

Finally, there is an intended customer, and you can't give up easily.
