Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 171
Good times always pass quickly.

From the morning to the noon picnic, and then everyone swimming happily until after four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone left the reservoir full of enthusiasm.

In fact, it was still early at this time, but considering that it would take at least an hour and a half to go back to the factory, some female workers had strict family education and had to rush back to eat, so everyone decided to leave early.

Everyone had a good time today, talking and laughing on the way back. Compared with the last time of roller skating, the relationship between men and women on both sides is a step closer, and they can also make small jokes with each other.

And this time on the way back, we agreed to go out to Shuibo Temple next Sunday. Obviously, swimming is the most popular activity in this weather.

But when everyone was passing by the west gate by bicycle, Duan Yun said that he was going to buy something at Sipailou, so he had to separate from the crowd.

Yu Shulan wanted to go with Duan Yun, but was persuaded by Duan Yun in the end.

After leaving the big team, Duan Yun rode a bicycle, brought a tape recorder and speakers, and came to the home of electronic enthusiasts in Sipailou.

Although I came here a bit late today, due to the hot weather, many people only come here to wander around in the evening, so there are still a lot of pedestrians in the narrow and long alleys.

Finding an open space, Duan Yun parked the car by the wall, and then put the tape recorder and speakers with him on the open space.

After connecting the battery box, Duan Yun inserted the cable of the speaker into the public port of the recorder.

Seeing couples of men and women passing by in the alley from time to time, Duan Yun immediately put Teresa Teng's tape in it.

"Sweet you smile sweetly
It seems that the flowers are blooming in the spring breeze
Blooming in the spring breeze..."

Teresa Teng's sweet singing soon echoed in the alley.

Duan Yun played this song when he was in the reservoir before. After he adjusted the frequency of the speaker to the most suitable, the sound quality became very clear and pleasant.

Soon, Duan Yun's stall was surrounded.

Duan Yun’s speaker is carefully crafted by Master Jing. Regardless of the workmanship and material selection, it is far more atmospheric and beautiful than the mass-produced speakers of domestic manufacturers. It has a very heavy feeling when placed on the ground, and the grade appears to be much higher.

Moreover, in terms of the sound quality of the speaker, the subwoofer designed by Duan Yun absolutely crushes the domestic speakers of these years, so Duan Yun's song "Sweet Honey" has already attracted many passers-by. .

"Look, don't do it." Duan Yun quickly reminded when he saw someone kneeling down to touch the speaker.

"This...you made it yourself?" A middle-aged man wearing a forward hat pointed to the speaker and asked Duan Yun.

"Yeah." Duan Yun nodded.

Duan Yun originally wanted to fool everyone into saying that it was an imported speaker, but in this case, it did not comply with the trading regulations of Sipailou Youfang Lane.

The Home of Electronics Enthusiasts only allows enthusiasts to trade and exchange electronic components or self-made small electrical appliances, but if you dare to set up a stall here to sell smuggled goods, once you are reported and arrested as speculators, you will be in trouble big.

"This speaker sounds okay..." Advance Hat pondered for a moment, then asked Duan Yun, "How much do you plan to sell?"

"Six hundred!" Duan Yun replied very simply.

"Forehead……"

As soon as Duan Yun's words fell, the crowd onlookers suddenly let out a burst of exclamation. This price obviously far exceeded the imagination of everyone present.

You know, 600 yuan is the salary of an ordinary worker for a whole year and a half, and such a price is obviously beyond their reach.

"It's just such a broken stereo, you sell it for six hundred, why don't you grab it!?" Hearing the words, Qianjinmao got up angrily and left.

"Do you know what you get for what you pay for?" Duan Yun smiled when he saw this, and said indifferently.

In fact, Duan Yun also knew that the price of his speakers was so high that ordinary people would definitely not be able to afford them, so from the very beginning, he did not expect to sell them today.

Duan Yun just wanted to give a pre-heating publicity to his speakers today. After the speakers he made become famous, he has follow-up plans.

The so-called follow-up plan is that, in addition to his high-end subwoofer, he also plans to ask Master Jing to use inferior wood to make some mid-to-low-end speakers. Duan Yun will also simplify the speaker function and cost. Duan Yun's speaker products have three grades of high, medium and low to target consumers of different income levels.

According to Duan Yun's estimation, he can still make good money for a year by relying on the Yagi antenna. With the popularity of his antenna, it is estimated that related imitations will appear on the market in a year or even half a year. Competition, the other party will definitely lower the price, thereby reducing the profit of Duanyun antenna business.

However, for nearly a year, it is enough for Duan Yun to make a lot of money, and he has also mastered a large number of high-quality customer resources in this city. Once the profit of the antenna business drops sharply, Duan Yun will immediately upgrade his antenna products. , and at the same time use the high-quality customer channels that they have mastered to gradually sell their own audio products to ensure the continued growth of their business profits.

So what Duan Yun is doing now is only small-scale sales promotion, improving products while selling, which can be regarded as preparation for large-scale sales of subwoofers in the future.

Next, several groups of people gathered around Duan Yun's booth, showing great interest in his speaker, but after hearing the price of 600 yuan, they all shook their heads and left.

The sky gradually entered the evening, and people in Youfang Lane also began to close their stalls and evacuate, and there were a lot fewer pedestrians.

A tape of Teresa Teng was played back and forth several times. Seeing that there were young people passing by, Duan Yun simply replaced it with a disco tape.

Duan Yun planned to call it a day and go home after finishing playing the tape.

"Ali, Alibaba! Bang Ka Ka! Bang Ka Ka!"

As the fast-paced dance music sounded, Duan Yun's stall was once again surrounded by a group of young people.

"How much is this stereo?" A man in a windbreaker with a tape recorder in his hand asked casually after looking at the case.

"Six hundred!"

"Have you never seen money? How dare you sell such a small handmade speaker for [-]?" The young man said with a look of disdain.

"This is not an ordinary speaker." Seeing that the young man was holding a Sanyo radio, Duan Yun's eyes lit up and he said, "My speaker is called a subwoofer, and the sound quality is top-notch in China. There is no such thing in foreign countries." Speaker products of the same type and grade..."

"There is no one of the same level in foreign countries... Have you ever been to a foreign country?" The young man said with a bit of sarcasm in his tone, "Returning the subwoofer... Even your broken speaker can be called a cannon?"

"I haven't been there, so have you?" Duan Yun asked with a smile.

"Although I have never been there, I have used a lot of imported electrical appliances." The young man in the windbreaker said, pointing to the tape recorder he was carrying, and said to Duan Yun with a proud face: "I know what my tape recorder is. What brand? RB Sanyo! It’s the best tape recorder you can buy in China, with four speakers! It only costs 520 yuan, how dare you sell it for 600 yuan for a small handmade speaker like you?”
