Chapter 5: I don't mind letting him do it first

This success made Li Yunhai see the business opportunity of repairing high-end equipment.

Mechanical typewriters like those used in banks will not be eliminated in the next few years, because the price of mechanical typewriters is relatively low compared with the computer equipment that costs tens of thousands of dollars, and many government agencies and units have long been equipped with them, and it will take at least several years to be upgraded.

In fact, the Jinmen Typewriter Factory continued to produce such mechanical typewriters until 1988.

In addition to Chinese mechanical typewriters, there are also English typewriters, Japanese typewriters and other foreign typewriters, and many units also need to be equipped.

The provincial capital has a population of several million, and there are many government agencies, and the market for typewriters, printers, and photocopiers is very huge.

Maintenance workers in this era are generally not highly educated, and those with high education have good job assignments, and few people will choose to be maintenance workers.

Ordinary electrical maintenance, there are many people who understand, and the price can't be shouted, and these high-tech equipment, ordinary people can't repair it, Li Yunhai can ask for the price.

Li Yunhai held the idea that it was better to run three than to sit in one, and continued to wait for the guests to come to the door on Wuyiwen's side.

Today, he made money, and the money in Li Yunhai's pocket became rich.

There was a small vendor selling iced soda next to Wuyiwen, who made a large piece of ice, dug holes in the ice, and put bottled soda in the ice hole to chill.

A bottle of soda sells for a dime and a half.

Li Yunhai is definitely reluctant to drink it usually, but today he bought a bottle extravagantly.

I have to say, this soda is so delicious, better than a 3 cent popsicle.

In such a hot summer, drinking a bottle of cold soda will make the whole person feel cold. There is a hiccup, and the breath that comes out is ice.

Thinking that he would often have to deal with people in government agencies in the future, he spent 3 cents and 5 cents to buy a pack of Xizhou cigarettes, which is the face of Xizhou people, and the price of Daqianmen cigarettes is several grades higher than that of 8 cents a pack of production cigarettes.

No matter how expensive cigarettes are, there are 3.1 yuan for 35 cards and 3.5 yuan for Marlboro.

Li Yunhai bought cigarettes and spent 2 cents to buy a box of matches to carry on his body.

He went back to sitting under the tree, still taking out the novel to read.

Just as he was watching with relish, a shadow came over, and he looked up to see a middle-aged man in a really good shirt staring at his sign.

This person is well-dressed, Sven has a temperament, and he seems to be a leader.

"Comrade, is there anything to repair?" Li Yunhai stood up and asked.

The middle-aged man smiled: "Repair the printing machine? ”

Li Yunhai took out a cigarette, tore open the package, took out one and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Repair!" I fix typewriters, printers, photocopiers, household appliances. ”

The middle-aged man's hand on the cigarette was obviously sluggish: "You repair?" I thought it was your father or your master! ”

Li Yunhai said with a smile: "Comrade, I am the master. I fix all the photocopiers on the market. ”

The middle-aged man took the cigarette, put it in his mouth, and reached out to touch the match on his body.

Li Yunhai took out his own match, struck one, protected the fire with his hand, and helped him light a cigarette.

The middle-aged man took a sip comfortably, and then asked, "Do you understand the imported large photocopier?" ”

Li Yunhai threw away the match stalk and asked, "What brand of photocopier is in your unit?" Fuji Xerox, Ricoh or Toshiba, Canon, Sharp? ”

Middle-aged humane: "Canon's." ”

Li Yunhai said: "Canon's large photocopier is not cheap, and the new one costs 27,000 yuan each. You are definitely a big unit above the department level! ”

The middle-aged man listened to him talk very well and asked, "I don't think you're very old, do you really know how to cultivate?" ”

Li Yunhai took out his graduation certificate and showed it to the other party: "Big brother, I graduated from Xizhou Industrial Technology School majoring in radio, and I am a professional in maintenance." ”

The middle-aged man glanced at his graduation certificate and said stunned: "Little brother, aren't you joking!" You've just graduated! How can you know how to fix a large photocopier! ”

Li Yunhai didn't want to miss this deal, and tried his best to fight: "Big brother, although I have just graduated, I understand the principle of circuits. All laws in the world are inseparable, and no matter how complex the instrument is, it is also assembled from components and circuit boards. What kind of problem, corresponding to which part of the line, I will know as soon as I test it. ”

However, he said it wildly, and the middle-aged man still felt that he was too young and kept shaking his head.

Li Yunhai intuitively felt that this was a big customer, at least a national unit above the department and bureau!

In these years, the units that buy photocopiers will definitely be equipped with the latest printers and computers.

He learned about the market of related equipment in Wuyiwen Company, a Toshiba printer is priced at 8,800 yuan, a Canon photocopier is priced at 27,000 yuan, and an IBM computer is sold for 30,000 to 50,000 yuan!

In this era when 10,000 households are still popular, spending tens of thousands of yuan to equip these advanced machines must be a large unit with no shortage of funds!

Li Yunhai's goal at the current stage is to become a 10,000 yuan household!

10,000 households is not so easy to achieve!

The term was created at the end of the 70s of the 20th century. At that time, a 10,000-yuan household was a very good family, and only a family with a deposit or income of more than 10,000 yuan could be called a 10,000-yuan household.

The wages of workers are only a few dozen yuan a month, and it is difficult to save 10,000 yuan.

The average monthly salary of ordinary workers is only 40 yuan, and it takes more than 20 years to save enough 10,000 yuan if they don't eat or drink or drink for a year!

In fact, who can save all their money without eating or drinking?

Therefore, there are very few people with household savings of more than 10,000 yuan!

The 10,000-yuan households are generally composed of professional households in rural areas and individual industrial and commercial households in urban areas.

After the implementation of the contract responsibility system for joint production in rural areas, many peasants have increased their annual household income to more than 10,000 yuan by planting grain crops and cash crops, doing business, and working part-time. Urban residents can earn more than 10,000 yuan a year by running individual businesses.

In that era when one person was allowed to get rich first, 10,000 households became the vanguard of the country's economic development. There were not many 10,000 households in each place, so 10,000 households became synonymous with wealthy households at that time.

In the early eighties of the 20th century, the business scope of individual industrial and commercial households was limited to handicrafts, repair and accessories, service industries and other industries, and individual industrial and commercial households were not allowed to operate in other fields.

In such a business environment and background, some self-employed people have become rich through hard work and take the lead in becoming 10,000 yuan households, and their efforts and hardships can be imagined.

Li Yunhai saw that the middle-aged man turned around and was about to leave, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, handed over a cigarette again, and said with a smile: "Big brother, what's the problem with the photocopier in your unit?" Can you take me over and see it? If you don't fix it well, you don't need money, but if it is repaired, I can still give you a warranty for the same problem. ”

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "We called a few masters to see this machine in our unit, but they couldn't fix it." Can you do it? ”

Li Yunhai saw that he was loose, so he said, "Big brother, you are calling electrical maintenance masters, right?" They don't understand these high-tech products. A photocopier is a precision instrument, and if you don't understand it, you will break your machine. The insertion and unplugging of the cable ends of these devices and the disassembly and assembly of circuit boards require extreme care. ”

The middle-aged man finished smoking a cigarette and said, "Okay, little brother, you come with me, and I'll take you to the unit to have a look." Do you have a car? ”

Li Yunhai said: "Big brother, where is your unit?" Far from it? I don't have a bike and I can take the bus to get there. ”

The middle-aged man said: "You can sit in the back seat of my car!" ”

Li Yunhai said with a smile: "Big brother, I'll kick, you sit in the back seat." ”

The middle-aged man came to the corner of the wall, took out the key, opened the lock of a two-eight bar, and said with a smile: "I see that you are about the same age as my child, you can sit in the back seat, I can ride." ”

Li Yunhai was not polite, and when he pedaled the car, he ran and jumped and sat down, holding the saddle with both hands.

Li Yunhai guessed well, this is a state-level scientific research unit above the department and bureau, and the guards at the door are not vegetarian at first glance.

The middle-aged man took Li Yunhai into the gate and came to a comprehensive office building.

This is a new office building, with bright windows and almost all the office equipment is new.

There are more than a dozen people busy in the office.

When they saw the middle-aged man, they all shouted: "Director Lin is good." ”

Director Lin called out to a young man with glasses and instructed him, "Xiao Zhang, you take this little master to see the photocopier." ”

Xiao Zhang agreed, and took Li Yunhai to a small room, which was a special computer room, with an IBM computer, a Toshiba printer, and a Canon large photocopier.

"Little master, this is the photocopier." Xiao Zhang pointed to the photocopier and said, "As soon as the machine is turned on, it screams, and it makes a very sharp sound." ”

He said as he turned it on.

There was a screeching sound.

The photocopier kept ringing.

Li Yunhai looked at the panel, there was no error code reported on it, and said, "Okay, I know, I can fix it." ”

Xiao Zhang was stunned and said, "You cultivate?" What about your master? When is coming? ”

Li Yunhai said with a smile: "Comrade Zhang, I am the master, I will repair this photocopier." ”

Xiao Zhang pushed his glasses and looked at him incredulously: "Are you repairing?" Will you? We've hired several masters, but they haven't been repaired! ”

Will you?

Li Yunhai has heard a lot of such questions, so he doesn't care about them.

"I'll fix it! It costs 500 yuan to repair. Li Yunhai quoted directly.

It's not that Li Yunhai is a lion who opens his mouth, but that the market is like this.

Around 90 years, repairing a photocopier to earn 1,000 yuan was a very normal offer.

The first people to engage in the repair of printing equipment have made a lot of money.

For such a large unit, the offer is too low, it is an insult to them.

Xiao Zhang was stunned again: "You didn't disassemble the machine to see, you quoted 500 yuan?" What if I have to replace a part? ”

Li Yunhai said: "I said that 500 yuan can be repaired, then it will definitely be repaired!" If a part has to be replaced, it will of course have to be counted separately. Can you call the shots? If I can, I'll disassemble it now. ”

As he spoke, he put the tool bag on the floor next to him and pulled out his screwdriver.

Xiao Zhang really can't be the master, go out and ask Director Lin.

Director Lin walked in and asked Li Yunhai, "Little brother, can you fix it for 500 yuan?" ”

As soon as Li Yunhai heard this, he knew that he was still kind, and the price was too low.

"Director Lin, this is our first cooperation, I will give you a preferential price, and you can call me if your unit has any work to repair in the future."

"Okay! Are you sure you can fix it? Director Lin asked again and again.

"If you are sure that you can pay me 500 yuan for repairs, then I will be sure that I can fix it."

"Haha! With such a big unit as ours, can we still miss you 500 yuan? Director Lin smiled, "Okay, then you can start repairing!" ”

Li Yunhai squatted down and asked while disassembling the machine: "Has your machine been moved recently?" ”

Director Lin said: "Yes, our unit has just moved here, and this machine was lifted down from the office building over there, and then carried into the car, and after being unloaded here, we lifted it up from the first floor." ”

Li Yunhai said: "The mobile transportation of this kind of machine has a certain degree of exquisiteness, and I suspect that in the process of moving and transporting the machine, one of the parts inside was damaged." ”

Director Lin touched his chin and said, "Oh? It's no wonder that I was fine over there before, but when I got here, there was a problem. ”

Li Yunhai opened the cover and carefully checked the wiring, circuit boards, and components inside.

This fault seems easy, but in actual operation, it tests the experience of the maintenance master.

As the saying goes, it is not difficult for those who will know, but it will not be difficult for those who are difficult.

For the same fault, someone can't find the problem after looking for a few days.

And those who understand, only need to look at it a few times to know.

Li Yunhai first carefully unplugged several sets of cables and plugged them back in.

Because the circuit board needs to be checked, the power cannot be cut off, and great care is required during operation, otherwise it is easy to be electrocuted.

Director Lin watched Li Yunhai's operation and nodded slowly, he could see that this young man was indeed a serious and careful person.

At this time, a shout came from outside: "Is Director Lin here?" ”

Director Lin replied loudly: "I'm in the computer room. ”

A fat man walked in with a young man.

Director Lin called the fat man Lao Liu.

This Lao Liu is the deputy director of the unit, and he also called a maintenance master to come over.

Deputy Director Liu said with a smile: "Director Lin, I have invited a powerful master to come over, and this time, he will definitely be able to repair our photocopier." ”

He saw Li Yunhai checking the photocopier, and said, "Who is he?" How can such a valuable machine be disassembled by a small child? Xiao Zhang, what are you doing? ”

Comrade Xiao Zhang looked at Director Lin.

Director Lin said with a calm face: "Lao Liu, this little master was invited back by me, and he also repaired the printing machine." ”

Deputy Director Liu glanced at Li Yunhai and said with a smile: "Director Lin, where did you invite this person from?" I think he's still a hairy boy? Isn't this a joke? Young man, get out of the way and let this professional master overhaul it. ”

The maintenance master was not polite at all, and squatted directly beside Li Yunhai, squeezing his butt towards Li Yunhai, trying to squeeze Li Yunhai away.

Not to be outdone, Li Yunhai steadied his feet and pushed his shoulders towards him.

The man just squatted down, his feet were still unstable, and he was almost knocked to the ground by Li Yunhai.

Fortunately, he reached out and grabbed the frame of the photocopier, otherwise he would have to be ugly.

Li Yunhai sneered: "I said comrade, there are rules for the industry, you grab the business, and you will also score a first-come-first-served basis, right?" If I can't fix it, it's not too late for you to fix it again! ”

The male master glared at Li Yunhai: "Little fart boy, where are you from?" This is an imported photocopier, tens of thousands, can you afford to repair it? Get out of the way! I'll fix it. ”

The deputy director Liu also kept waving his hand next to him, and drove Li Yunhai away: "Okay, okay, this little comrade, there's nothing for you here!" Where did you come from, go back! ”

Li Yunhai said lightly: "Deputy Director Liu, you want to drive me away, I'm a young man, I don't have much face, I just leave if I leave, it doesn't matter!" Buying and selling is not benevolent. However, I am the one who was invited back by Director Lin, do you want to consult Director Lin before you rush me? ”

Deputy Director Liu's face changed, he obviously underestimated Li Yunhai's emotional intelligence!

With one sentence, Li Yunhai elevated the contradiction between the two maintenance workers to the struggle between the two directors.

Director Lin's face was as usual, and he couldn't see the slightest change, and asked, "Lao Liu, how much does it cost to repair this master you hired?" ”

Deputy Director Liu looked at the male master: "Master Zhao, how much can it be repaired?" ”

The surnamed Zhao first looked at the photocopier that was disassembled by Li Yunhai, and said with a determined face: "I will see this kind of fault for the first time, but it is not difficult to solve." There is no fault code reported on the panel, but the howling does not stop when it is turned on, most likely the motor is broken, and the motor needs to be replaced. ”

Deputy Director Liu asked: "He is worthy of being a powerful professional, and he can see the problem at a glance." You just say it, how much does it cost to repair? ”

Master Zhao said: "1000 yuan, including accessories!" This is a friendly price, if it weren't for Deputy Director Liu's face, the cost of our accessories would be charged separately. ”

When Li Yunhai heard this, he couldn't help but sneer.

Deputy Director Liu said: "Director Lin, do you think you want him to repair?" ”

Director Lin muttered, "Master Zhao, are you sure you want to replace the accessories?" ”

Master Zhao said: "As soon as I heard Deputy Director Liu talk about the condition of this photocopier, I guessed that it was a motor failure or a scanning control board failure, so I brought these two accessories." ”

The price of the motor and the scanning control board is not high, which Li Yunhai is like a mirror in his heart.

Director Lin felt that this Master Zhao was also very professional, mainly because people had brought all the accessories, so he glanced at Li Yunhai and said slowly: "Little brother, why don't you ask this Master Zhao to repair first?" Don't worry, I won't let you run for nothing, I'll give you the fare. ”

Li Yunhai knew that it was useless to talk too much at the moment, so he got up very shamefully, clapped his hands, and smiled indifferently: "Okay, since you have hired another Gao Ming, I don't mind letting him cultivate first!" Then I'll take a break! If he can't fix it, it's not too late for you to ask me again. ”

Master Zhao smiled: "Little comrade, you can go back!" I'm sure I'll be able to fix this machine! ”

Li Yunhai glanced at him, saw through the other party's thoughts, and said, "Don't worry, I don't need to steal from the master to learn the arts, I'll just wait outside." ”

This list can earn hundreds of dollars, even if it is a day of grinding foreign labor here, it is very cost-effective.

He picked up his things, got up and went to the big office outside, found an empty chair and sat down, still taking out his book to read.

Inside, that Master Zhao is replacing the motor.

Changing the motor is a very simple job, and Master Zhao quickly replaced it.

Boot.

"Woo-"

The screeching of photocopiers resounded in the office.

Director Lin was surprised: "It's still not good to change the motor!" This glitch is still there! ”

Master Zhao stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, it may be a problem with the scanning controller, I'll change it again." ”

Director Lin pointed to the motor and said: "Master Zhao, you have to remember, which motor and scanning controller you brought over, and which two are the original ones of our machines, don't mess up, this can't be mistaken!" ”

Master Zhao nodded and said, "Don't worry, I remember." This accessory has a number on it, and I can tell it when I look at it. ”

It took him a few more minutes to replace the copier's scan controller.

Turn it on again!

"Woo-woo-"

This time, the howling seems to be louder?

Several people standing in the computer room looked at each other.

Director Lin asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?" Master Zhao, you changed two accessories, why still doesn't work? ”

Master Zhao kept wiping his sweat and said, "It doesn't make sense! In addition to these two failures, where else could the problem be? Don't worry, don't worry, I'll look for it again. ”

Director Lin couldn't help but look at Li Yunhai who was sitting outside.

Li Yunhai is holding a book, and he is fascinated!

This kid is not very old, but he is extraordinarily calm!

Master Zhao crouched down and began to carefully inspect the various circuit boards of the photocopier.

He tinkered for nearly an hour and tried countless times, but every time he turned on the hopeful power, he heard that shrill screech of sarcasm.

Director Lin's face gradually became unhappy, and he asked unhappily, "Master Zhao, can you fix it?" ”

Master Zhao said embarrassedly: "This fault is the first time I have encountered it, and I still have to study it." ”

Director Lin pointed to his watch and said, "We're all about to get off work!" If you can't, just ask that little brother to come and try it! Lao Liu, do you have no opinion? ”
