Chapter 38: Sell Four More Copiers!

Li Yunhai sold the machine, but he didn't get the money, which made him depressed and less excited to make a fortune.

He ran back and forth a few times, but he didn't get it done.

When it was time for the bank to get off work, Li Yunhai had to leave with Ding Qiang.

Ding Qiang knew that he didn't get the payment, and smiled and comforted him and said, This is also a common thing, you can rest assured, such a large unit, it is impossible not to admit it.

Li Yunhai waved his hand and said No matter, I have worked hard for you today, I will invite you to go down to the restaurant.

Ding Qiang was not polite, and nodded in agreement.

The two found a state-run restaurant on the side of the road, went in and ordered a few side dishes, a total of three yuan.

Fortunately, Li Yunhai earned five yuan in repair fees during the day, otherwise he didn't get the payment for the goods, and he didn't even have the money to invite Ding Qiang to dinner.

Li Yunhai said to order a bottle of wine, Ding Qiang said that he would not drink while driving today, and I would rest another day, and the two of us would drink another one without getting drunk and going home.

This is a polite and courteous person, and he is even more respected by Li Yunhai.

The two finished eating.

Li Yunhai wanted to give Ding Qiang freight, but Ding Qiang refused, saying that friends are doing a favor, how can there be any reason to charge you money? If you do this again, don't look for me next time.

Ding Qiang waved his hand, got in the car and left.

Li Yunhai walked to the store, and as soon as he walked to the door of the store, he saw Shen Xiulan.

Shen Xiulan stood at the door of the repair shop, and when she saw him coming back, she smiled: "Yunhai, where have you been!" I've been waiting for you for a long time! ”

Li Yunhai said that he was doing business with the bank.

Shen Xiulan chuckled: "Really sold to the bank?" 5 copiers, 16,800 each! Yunhai, you've made a fortune! ”

Li Yunhai smiled bitterly, took out the key to open the door of the store, invited her in, and said, "Let's talk about it when I get the money!" I'm still a poor egg, and I only have a few dollars in my pocket. ”

Shen Xiulan said with a smile: "Tell you a happy event, I have come in handy for the copying techniques you taught me!" Yesterday at work, the operator of the computer room of our unit was sick, and our leader was about to make copies of materials, and asked who would operate the photocopier, and I said I would, and the leader let me go. ”

Li Yunhai couldn't help laughing, and laughed: "This is also called a happy event? ”

Shen Xiulan pouted, "I haven't finished yet!" The photocopier used in our unit is also in Japanese, and no one else can understand it, so I will operate it. As soon as our leaders were happy, they promoted me to work in the computer room. ”

Li Yunhai sighed and said disapprerovingly: "An operator in a computer room, this is also called promotion?" ”

Shen Xiulan said: "In our unit, the operator of the computer room must be selected to be qualified!" It is more senior than ordinary staff, and there are post allowances and technical allowances! That's 10 bucks a month! It is equivalent to a salary increase of one level. As soon as I joined the work, I got the respect of the leader, isn't this a happy event? I don't think you're happy for me at all! Hum! ”

Looking at her proud little appearance, Li Yunhai asked: "You learned how to make a photocopier, but do you know how to operate a computer?" ”

Shen Xiulan was like a deflated little leather ball: "No!" So I'd like to ask you, do you know about computers? ”

Li Yunhai said: "I understand, but I don't have a computer here." ”

Shen Xiulan said: "The unit has it, I have the key to the computer room, and I can enter it at any time." Let's go now, you teach me, okay? ”

Li Yunhai said yes, rode Shen Xiulan's car, and drove her to the office building of the Commercial Bureau.

In the computer room, there are computers, printers, photocopiers and other office equipment, and air conditioners are also installed.

In these years, if you can know how to operate a typewriter and a photocopier, you can become a sought-after technician in the unit.

80 years ago, larger enterprises and institutions have set up typing rooms, and there is a type of work called typist, using a mechanical typewriter, typists are generally young unmarried girls, this job is not easy, in case of urgent work has to work overtime.

With a computer, typing became much easier, and the typing room was upgraded to a computer room or a copy room. The requirements for operators are also higher, and they must know how to operate computers, printers, and copiers.

Shen Xiulan has a good image, is unmarried, and knows how to operate photocopying equipment, so she was selected by the leader to become the operator of the computer room.

She knew that her business was a half-ass, so she called Li Yunhai to teach herself.

Li Yunhai didn't have to teach her anything too complicated.

Shen Xiulan only needs to learn to operate a few basic software in the computer and be able to complete the tasks assigned by the leader.

As for programming languages, it's not something she needs to learn right now.

Li Yunhai first taught her to turn on and off the computer, put it in the floppy disk, start the program, and operate the program.

Thanks to the invention of the Wangma Wubi input method in 1983, it has become more convenient and faster to input Chinese characters into computers.

However, to learn to type with five strokes, it takes a certain amount of time to practice and memorize root lists.

Li Yunhai first taught Shen Xiulan the basic operation of the computer, and then taught her to learn Wubi and Office.

Office in the DOS era is a world made of code. There are no graphics, no Windows, and if you want to do anything, you have to enter a string of code to do it.

At this time, Office did not have a graphical interface, not even a mouse. The text is typed down line by line, and when you encounter an error, you can use the cursor key to move it to the corresponding position to modify it. At this time, Office already supports font sizes, but instead of displaying them on the screen, they are presented directly on the printer paper.

Shen Xiulan's learning ability and acceptance ability are all first-class.

Li Yunhai taught her for one night, and she has learned a lot of operations.

"Yunhai, how do you know everything?" Shen Xiulan looked at Li Yunhai with admiration, her beautiful big eyes flashed like stars, "If you come to our unit, you will definitely be a leader!" ”

Li Yunhai said with a smile: "Okay, you can make a suggestion to your leaders and recruit me into your unit, right?" ”

In the 80s, there were not many people who knew computer technology, and computer typists were scarce.

If Li Yunhai really wants to find a job as a typist, maybe he can really find it.

However, Li Yunhai already has a goal and direction for his own efforts, so it is naturally impossible to be a typist for others.

It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that the two left the commercial bureau.

Li Yunhai returned to the store and took a shower to rest.

In the next few days, Li Yunhai continued to repair photocopiers in the shop, and when someone came to him to repair electrical appliances, he took over a job and did it, and he could earn a few yuan a day, and when he was free at night, he would accompany Shen Xiulan to her unit to teach her how to learn computers.

That afternoon, Li Yunhai was tinkering with the photocopier in the store, when a shout came from outside the door: "Little brother! ”

As soon as Li Yunhai heard this voice, he knew that it was Director Lin who was coming.

"Director Lin!" Li Yunhai dropped the work in his hand, wiped his hands with a towel, greeted him out of the door, and said with a smile, "What kind of wind blew you here?" ”

Director Lin laughed and said, "There's something for you to doβ€”what are you doing here?" So many photocopiers? ”

Li Yunhai took out a cigarette, handed one to him, and said, "I went to Huacheng and collected some second-hand photocopiers and came back to sell." ”

Director Lin was surprised and asked, "Second-hand photocopiers?" You mean, these copiers work? ”

Li Yunhai pointed to a few photocopiers and said: "I have repaired these copies, not that I brag, these photocopiers are no worse than new ones!" ”

Director Lin put his hands behind his back and looked at the photocopiers: "Really? These photocopiers look quite new! There are more function keys on this panel than in our units! How much does this cost to sell for? ”

Li Yunhai didn't offer a high price, and said truthfully: "This model of photocopier of Ricoh Company is sold for 46,800 yuan by Kewen Company." I sold five units to the bank for 16,800 yuan each. ”

He took out the bank's receipt and showed it to Director Lin: "It was traded the day before yesterday." ”

Director Lin looked at the list and said movingly: "So cheap? How many more do you have? ”

Li Yunhai has repaired four of them in the past few days, and said: "Now there are four, and these four are all excellent high-speed copiers, copying more than 60 copies per minute. Eighty percent of the new condition, the number of copies can reach more than 4 million, I provide the whole machine for one year free warranty service. ”

Director Lin pointed to one of the machines: "Little brother, can you turn it on and show me." ”

Li Yunhai said that there was no problem, plugged in the power of the photocopier, warmed up the machine, and then made a few copies to show Director Lin.

Director Lin took the copied materials and looked at them, nodded and said, "Not bad!" The printing is very fast, and the text and images are clear! Better than the existing machines in our unit! You don't have a buyer for these four copiers, right? ”

Li Yunhai rubbed his hands together and said with a smile: "I haven't found a buyer yet!" ”

Director Lin waved his hand and said, "Okay! These four photocopiers, our unit bought! ”

Li Yunhai was stunned for a moment, and thought he had heard it wrong: "Director Lin, do you want to buy these four photocopiers?" ”

He bit the four characters very hard, so as to make sure that the other party was not going to buy one photocopier, but four!

Director Lin smiled: "Yes! Why do you think I'm coming to you? Our unit wants to purchase a few photocopiers, and I think you know how to do it, so I want to find you to accompany me and be a staff officer for me. Since you have photocopiers for sale here, do I need to go far and near at the expense of the near? The price of a photocopier from somewhere else, I can buy three or four from you! ”

What a surprise!

Li Yunhai shook Director Lin's hand and said gratefully: "Thank you Director Lin for your trust and support to me!" When will you buy it? ”

Director Lin laughed and said, "Buy it now!" Find a car, take these four photocopiers, and bring me to the unit! ”

Li Yunhai couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately found a public phone on the street and contacted Ding Qiang, but unfortunately Ding Qiang delivered the goods to Huacheng.

Hearing that Li Yunhai was going to deliver goods again, Ding Qiang said very righteously: "Don't go outside to find a car, I'll ask my colleague to help you." If you don't want to go, you can give him a few dollars for hard work! ”

Li Yunhai agreed.

Half an hour later, a sturdy young man who was about the same as Ding Qiang drove a Dongfeng truck, he was Ding Qiang's colleague Sun Lei, who came to help Li Yunhai deliver the goods.

Sun Lei and Li Yunhai worked together to load four photocopiers onto the truck.

The truck could also seat two people, so Li Yunhai and Director Lin sat on it and put the bicycle that Director Lin rode behind the truck.

Before leaving, Li Yunhai suddenly thought of something and asked Director Lin: "Director Lin, is your unit's finance, settlement and payment untimely?" ”
