Chapter 36: The Age of the BP Machine
Fang Bai quickly read the content of the letter, mainly about Qin Shuyu's study and life at school, as well as his concern for the recovery of his fingers, and the words in the letter revealed Qin Shuyu's feelings of missing him.
"Hey, this stupid melon."
Fang Bai found the letter paper and wrote a letter to Qin Shuyu, he wrote the letter relatively quickly, and it was written in more than half an hour.
The main content is the recent study life and finger recovery, etc., and the new address is written at the end.
Maybe he has experienced too much, and he is not good at expressing the love of his children, but Fang Bai still simply and directly writes about her longing.
The two places haven't met for a long time, and they are most afraid of misunderstanding, so Fang Bai writes more straightforwardly, thinking about her, not as subtle as Qin Shuyu.
At the same time, he asked her the specific address of the dormitory, Fang Bai had never been to Shencheng University of Finance and Economics in his previous life, and when he visited Qin Shuyu after a while, he had to know where to find her.
Qin Shuyu did not have a landline phone installed in the dormitory, and there was no phone nearby that could be answered, so he would have told Fang Bai for sure.
The matter of making money was not clear in the letter, but it made Qin Shuyu worried, and Fang Bai planned to talk about it in detail after the meeting.
At that time, Fang Bai also passed the monthly exam, and there were grades to prove that she had not fallen behind in her studies, so she should not worry too much.
He also thought about whether to install a landline phone in the rented house, but he thought that it would cost thousands of dollars to install a cable, and the house would be rented until next year before the lease was surrendered.
If the house is his own, it is almost the same, but Fang Bai does not want to spend money to buy a house for the time being, and now there is no real estate certificate for self-built house transactions, and the transaction risk is relatively large.
There is no landline phone nearby, or just write someone's landline phone, Qin Shuyu can call someone's phone, and then call Fang Bai to answer the phone.
Of course, answering the phone like this will of course have to pay people and charge by the minute.
Fang Bai thought about it, and felt that it was more convenient to buy a BP machine, and it was more convenient for Qin Shuyu or others to find him.
BP was launched a few years ago, and it was only at the beginning of this year that pagers sprung up everywhere and the pager market boomed.
Now the BP machine is not cheap, Fang Bai recently inquired, Motorola's BP machine costs more than 3,000 units, including the network access fee, but not including the service fee.
Waist BP machine, bragging everywhere.
This sentence is not an exaggeration, now with a BP machine and a belt, it is a symbol of a successful person.
If in the crowd, the BP machine suddenly sounds "beep", everyone will cast envious eyes on you.
What is the most beautiful boy, the person who has the BP machine is the most beautiful boy.
SOMETHING TO CALL ME, BECOME THE MOST CONFIDENT AND MOST SHOWY WORDS.
Of course, if you have a big brother, that is the level of a big boss, and ordinary people look up to the level.
Fang Bai has no interest in hanging a BP machine in front of his waist, but he doesn't have a big brother, so it's better to buy a BP machine.
Well, I'll check it out when I have time.
Hey, it's really troublesome to communicate now, so I can only rely on writing letters for the time being.
Fang Bai is used to communication in later generations, but now he can't tolerate inefficient communication methods, and it is inconvenient to find people.
When you call home outside, you can only call the village chief, and the village chief will then use the loudspeaker to inform who and who, and then answer the phone in a few minutes.
Some small workshop owners buy BP machines, but I still haven't heard of anyone who bought them.
After Fang Bai wrote the letter, he went downstairs and rode out to deliver the letter.
When I came to the post office, I found that it was closed for work, and there was no place to buy stamps, so I had to wait until tomorrow to send them.
Once the stamps are affixed, simply stuff them directly into the envelope receiving box outside the post office.
Fang Bai has no interest in philately, I heard that the monkey stamps published in 80 have risen to more than 200 yuan a piece, if it is a few yuan a piece, you can also collect a little to play.
For businessmen, money can only be made when it is liquid, and if the art collection can only be profitable for more than a few years, it will not help to do business, and it will also occupy operating capital.
Fang Bai came back from riding a bicycle and saw his parents buying rice and vegetables, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, pots and pans and other kitchen utensils back, saying that in the future, he would cook his own food at night, and it would be okay if there were many people eating outside at noon.
Fang Bai said: "Mom, if you don't feel troublesome, it's fine. ”
"What's so troublesome, do it yourself to save money and worry, you make more money, but you can save a little is a point.
I heard your father say that it costs two yuan to order a plate of fried pork in a restaurant, and I can buy more than a pound of pork, and the family can eat two meals. Liu Fengqing chattered while sorting out the things he had just bought with his father.
Fang Bai smiled, understanding her mother's thoughts, her monthly salary was only fifty yuan, and she didn't have enough to order a meat dish for a day's work, knowing that it was not easy to make money.
His father has no status in the family, he has always listened to his mother, and he has no ability, but now that his son has the ability, he also listens to his son.
But Liu Fengqing's thoughts are different, no matter how capable her son is, he has to listen to her for some things, just like a housewife.
Fang Bai and his sister helped clean up the vegetables, listening to his mother's nagging about the price of vegetables in the vegetable market, complaining that the meat seller cut lean meat for him, and there was no oil and water.
Originally, my wife wanted to bring pots and pans from my hometown, but some of the old ones at home were old, and now I can buy new ones when I have money, and I brought them over, and it was troublesome to go back to the village without a pot to cook, so my wife listened to him to buy a new one.
A family of four talked about some daily life, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.
In the evening, the family gathers for dinner, talking and laughing.
There were two meats, two vegetables and one soup on the dinner table, and Fang Bai's goal of eating meat every day for his family some time ago was achieved.
After dinner, my sister doesn't have to go back to school, tomorrow Saturday, school is closed, and she wants to help her family sell TV tomorrow.
Fang Bai went back to the bedroom to study.
The next day,
At eight o'clock in the morning, the shop was opened.
There is one more façade, the space is large, there will be ten people to repair the TV today, and if there are many people, Fang Bai will be too busy.
He checked the problem quickly, but it took a lot of time to explain to them how to fix it.
At ten o'clock, Fang Bai rode to the post to send a letter.
When I came back, I talked to my parents about today's stall.
15 TVs were repaired the afternoon before yesterday, 30 were repaired yesterday, and there are many maintenance personnel in the morning, and it is estimated that there will be about 20 units.
So, the number of TVs that can be sold today is around 65 units.
After experiencing the scene of the last hot sales, Fang Bai added 2 salespeople and 2 handymen, plus his parents and sister, and the total number of on-site workers reached 11.
There are more people to ensure that there are no accidents on the scene, and it doesn't matter if you spend a little more money.
At the same time, another tricycle was added.
In order to prepare for today's sale, Fang Bai and his family have done a lot of work and increased a lot of investment.
Fang Bai still set the time of today's stall after lunch, and it is estimated that there are not many passers-by who rush to buy TVs in the morning, and he is not busy here.
In the morning, Fang Bai gave his father a note, if there is a teacher from Oubei No. 1 Middle School to buy a TV, if it is the name on the note, you can get a 9% discount, if it is a teacher who takes care of him, you can get a 20% discount.
"Dad, I only said that I knew you, and I didn't expose that this stall is our family and the relationship between father and son, if people ask, don't say that this TV sale has something to do with me."
Fang Shi didn't quite understand: "Why do you want to hide it?" ”
"Dad, keep a low profile, or I won't have a quiet day at school, what if students and teachers come to me to find a discounted price, wouldn't I be annoyed to death."
"Haha, that's it, that dad understands, make a fortune in a low-key manner, hehe." Fang Shi smiled.
Time flies, and everyone has lunch at 11 o'clock at noon.
After eating, I rested for a while, and at twelve o'clock I officially moved the TV out of the stall.
It was the first time for Liu Fengqing to see such a big scene of sales work, and she didn't understand any of this, so she would start when she needed help.
Fang Bai went to the stall to take a look, said hello to the owner of the small restaurant, handed out cigarettes to the other party and left.
He has already handed over the on-site sales work to his father, and his mother is also watching on the spot, and there are 8 other people.
In fact, Fang Bai didn't count his sister, so she couldn't help much.
Due to Li Meng's good performance and ability to deal with emergencies, he was promoted to sales team leader by Fang Bai, and his salary was also raised.
The day before yesterday, many customers didn't buy a TV, and they regretted it and decided to grab the TV today.
After the customers who bought the TV moved it home, some relatives, friends and neighbors were very envious after knowing that they bought the TV at a low price and wanted to buy one too.
In the past two days, many customers have helped Fang Bai promote cheap TV sets, bringing in many potential consumers.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, one or two hundred spectators gathered around the stalls, and the sales scene was in full swing, and the popularity was even hotter than the day before.
Some customers who couldn't buy a TV last time paid directly to get a TV.
Some customers who don't plan to buy are led by other consumers to consume impulsively, as if they are buying a bargain.
Liu Fengqing watched her husband busy counting the money and collecting the money, and hurriedly helped to count the money together, she liked this kind of money counting work so much, she thought in her heart that she was rich and rich, and smiled and bent her eyebrows.
