Chapter 83 Calling Cards
As an iconic item in the 90s, the phone booth IC card has become quite collectible only 30 years later.
The momentum of IC cards came out quickly, and they were extinguished quickly, and they were replaced by mobile phones not long after they came out.
The phone booth soon disappeared in the tide of the times, but it was indeed a sign of the times.
once made a group of people earn a lot of money......
Chen Dongqing continued to talk to the old man.
"I received news that the communication company is going to launch an IC card, that kind of card is used to make calls, and the balance in the card will be deducted, and that card will have different denominations, there are ten, twenty, one hundred or something......
"With that call, the money in the card is deducted, and the communication company will hire an agent, and give it to the agent at a price lower than the face value of the card, and then the agent will sell it with the face value, so as to earn the difference. ”
"Think about it, if you take it, get the IC card at a low price, and then sell the card to those in the hospital who are in a hurry, and let them go to the phone booth to call, you will even save the money to charge Big Brother!"
"That card may be able to eat almost two percent of the rebate, that's a lot!"
"If you feel that there are not enough people, you can also go to the small newsstand next to those phone booths, develop them into downlines, give them a little profit, wholesale a few IC cards, and let them sell on their behalf, then the money is really like running water. ”
What Chen Dongqing is talking about now is the routine operation of communication companies in the next few years, although the current people don't sound like anything, but in the era when phone booths were scarce, it was really a 'far-sighted' idea!
However, this idea is also bluffing, and in a few years, the phone booths will almost be surplus, and few people will actually use the phone booths.
Because the cost of installing telephones has been reduced in people's homes, almost every household has installed telephones, and then PHS's mobile phones have gradually become popular because of technological progress......
If Chen Dongqing was allowed to do this business by himself, he would not do it.
"You kid has been talking for a long time, and I have listened to it and half understood it, but it seems that this is indeed the truth......"
The old man thought about it, took out a knife from his pocket, and pulled the rope tied to Chen Dongqing's hand.
Chen Dongqing was able to breathe a sigh of relief without the restraints on his hands, and without restraints, he did not make a move to resist, but said to the old man with a smile.
"Old man, I can see that you are actually a good person, most of these people will tie their hands behind their backs, so that the people who are tied up will not be easy to struggle. ”
"Thank you for deliberately tying my hands forward in order to take care of my wounds. ”
The old man looked at Chen Dongqing's smile, and finally couldn't help but draw a tear from his eyes.
As the tears flowed, the old man cried as if the dam had flooded, and the valve was broken.
"You're a good baby, I can't bear to do it!
This scene is changing a little fast!
Chen Dongqing looked at this sixty or seventy-year-old man, and suddenly broke down and cried like a child, really at a loss.
"Old man...... Old man, what is there to say, why are you still crying?"
Comforting people, it's really not Chen Dongqing's kung fu that he is good at, especially since the other party is still an elderly man!
"Master, if there is something to say, let's find a way to solve it, don't cry! Say it well, see if I can help you?"
The old man is old, and his body is not very good, and after crying for a long time, he was a little out of breath, and the whole person twitched.
Chen Dongqing was really afraid of this old man, crying and crying, so he cried and walked away.
If that's the case, he won't be able to wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River!
"We ...... Confused...... Shouldn't...... Tie you up...... ...... came."
The old man snorted and said, which made Chen Dongqing even more anxious, and hurriedly said.
"Don't worry, old man, I won't leave, I don't blame you if you kidnap me!
Hearing this, the old man was even more excited, and patted his thigh fiercely.
Okay, I'd better stop talking.
Chen Dongqing slowly stroked the old man's back while waiting for the old man to come back to his senses.
I don't know how long it took, but the old man finally rested, and stopped sobbing and sobbing anymore, so he slowly talked to Chen Dongqing.
It turned out that although the old man's family was in the south, he did not eat the dividends of reform, and seeing that the people around him were getting rich, the young people in the village couldn't stay and wanted to go out to work hard.
Later, someone from Linshan came to the village and said that they had found coal there.
If you go down to mine and are willing to contribute, you can make a lot of money.
said a lot of big things, saying that other young people have made a lot of money through mining, and they are everywhere when they return to their hometowns to show off.
This makes young people who have little social experience and are eager to get rich boil their blood after hearing this.
So a group of young men gathered in the village to follow others to the mines, wanting to make money by mining.
Everyone thinks that young people can work together so that they can take care of each other.
So most of the young people in the village went to the mountain to dig coal together, but not long after, a mining accident occurred in that mountain, and almost all the young people in the village were buried!
This group of people either died directly in the mine, or they picked up a life with broken hands and feet, or they were stupid and stupid by stones.
In one village, without so many young people, it is simply a catastrophe!
The old man in the village has worked in the farmland all his life and has not saved a few dollars, and this happened to the children in the family, it is really miserable!
If you still work on the land as before, and then sell it to the association, you can't do it when you are old, I'm afraid that you won't even have enough money for a pension, and the money for the coffin may not be able to pay!
I heard that this business of smuggling parallel goods is relatively lucrative, and many people have made money.
After a few young people who survived, plus the more authoritative old people in the village, they discussed it for a round and felt that this business, the risk was not high, and it might be an opportunity to turn over.
So, the old man took the lead and secretly collected money in various households in the village, wanting to take the people in the village to earn back a pension and live a better life for the rest of his life.
With the last hope for the future and the trust in the old man, so many families in the village finally scraped together some money after experiencing a major blow.
At that time, it was not a lot, almost tens of thousands of yuan, the old man took people out to find a relationship, first bought a batch of goods, and borrowed a few young people to sell the goods with himself, and immediately made a move.
Tens of thousands of yuan in exchange for hundreds of thousands of goods, this is hundreds of thousands of dollars when it is sold!
However, it was last Monday that the goods were robbed!
