Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 502 Walkman

"Busy?" Duan Yun asked casually when he saw Gao Lei holding a piece of sackcloth in his hand.

"Not busy, I don't have any business this morning, I just clean the warehouse counter." Gao Lei smiled slightly, and then said, "Brother, what do you want me to do?"

"That's right, how long do you plan to stay at home this time?" Duan Yun asked.

"Brother, do you need me to buy anything?" Gao Lei asked bluntly.

"Look at this..." Duan Yun said, and took out a computer drawing that he had drawn in the office before from his pocket, and said to Gao Lei: "If you go to Guangzhou this time, help me ask where there is There’s no one selling computers, this is what computers look like.”

"Uh." Gao Lei took a look at the blueprint and said, "This is just... TV sets. There are a lot of TV sets in Guangzhou."

"TV is TV, computer is computer, computer is equipped with keyboard and case, besides, computers are all imported from abroad at present, and only the IBM company in the United States produces it. This is the symbol..." Duan Yun pointed to the blueprint he drew computer sign.

"Okay, I will leave for Guangzhou in a day or two. If there is such a computer for sale, I will buy it for you directly." Gao Lei put the blueprint in his arms and said very simply.

"You don't need to buy it for me, you just need to tell me where to buy it, and then I will go to Guangzhou by myself." Duan Yun said.

"Brother Duan, do you need to do this kind of trivial matter? I'll just buy it for you and bring it back." Gao Lei said disapprovingly.

In Gao Lei's view, this computer should be similar to a TV, basically the same appearance, and the price should be similar.

Although the TV is a bit heavy, it doesn't matter to Gao Lei. He is big, but the important things will not be very strenuous.

Gao Lei owed a great favor to Duan, so he decided to help some people buy their computers back with his own money.

"You can't afford this thing, and the computer is very delicate, and it is easy to cause problems when it is transported back and forth. You can help me see if there is any sale this time, and don't worry about the rest." Duan Yunan said.

"Isn't it just a TV? There's nothing I can't afford." Gao Lei disapproved, and then said to Duan Yun: "Brother, let me tell you that I have made a lot of money in the past six months. I earn a lot more than working in a factory. This time you can be regarded as a big help to me. Brother, I didn’t say anything. It’s a small thing to buy you a computer. Now the color TV in Guangzhou is only a thousand dollars, so don’t tell me You're welcome."

"Hehe, I accept your wish, but you really can't afford this thing." Duan Yun smiled after hearing this, and then said: "The computer I'm talking about is a product that was just released in the United States last year, and one costs 1 yuan. U.S. dollars, the domestic price of computers imported from our country is at least 3 to 4 yuan, and this kind of thing is too delicate, and it is easy to be damaged if it is slightly bumped, it is really not yours, you can buy it."

"1 US dollars!? 3 to 4 yuan!?" Gao Lei was stunned when he heard the words, and asked Duan Yun repeatedly: "What is this thing made of? Is it made of gold?"

Gao Lei thought that the computer Duan Yun was talking about was only a few hundred yuan, and if it cost about 1000 yuan, he would be able to help Duan Yun buy it by gritting his teeth.

But the price of 3 to 4 is simply beyond Gao Lei's imagination. He has only earned 1 yuan through selling goods in the past six months. But I didn't expect that I couldn't even buy 1/3 of a computer.

"As long as you can help me find a place that sells this kind of thing this time, it will be considered a big help to me, and you don't have to worry about other things." Duan Yun said.

"Okay, I'm going to Guangzhou tomorrow." Gao Lei nodded.

"In addition, I also ask you to bring something..."

"what?"

"It's the small electrical appliances that are more popular in Guangzhou recently. Girls like them more. They must be imported brands. They look high-end. You can buy them. I'll give you the money when you come back." Duan Yun said after a while. .

"Girls like it? Well, I understand, you are buying flowers for Cheng Dachang, right?" Gao Lei said with a smile.

"I know you still ask?" Duan Yun gave Gao Lei a white look.

Cheng Qingyan's family's economic conditions are relatively good, her salary is also high, and her daily food is much better than that of ordinary girls. She is not interested in things like head flowers and silk scarves that ordinary girls like, so Duan Yun plans to buy him some. Imported small commodities and small electrical appliances and the like.

The reason why Duan Yun thought of buying some things for Cheng Qingyan was mainly because Duan Yun was busy with work in the factory during this period, and the two of them hadn't dated for a while. There is too little time alone, so Duan Yun wants to buy something to compensate Cheng Qingyan.

"What kind of electrical appliances does sister-in-law like?" Gao Lei asked.

"High-end imported ones, small and exquisite ones, at least in Daxing we can't buy or basically can't see things." Duan Yun said.

"High-end imported, small and unique?" Gao Lei thought for a while, and then said to Duan Yun: "I saw a gadget when I was in Guangzhou. It was a tape recorder imported from Japan, but it was smaller than ordinary tape recorders. A lot, about the size of a small brick..."

"As big as a small brick? Walkman!?" Duan Yun's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"What kind of small tape recorder is it called? I don't think it's interesting. You have to wear headphones to listen to it. The effect of the speaker is far worse than that of a large tape recorder. It's not exciting at all. The price is too expensive. I bought a 4 The tape recorder for the speaker only costs 500 yuan at most, and one that is as big as a brick sells for more than 1000 yuan, which is a money grab!" Gao Lei said disapprovingly.

"You must bring me two sets when you go to Guangzhou this time! You can pay for the money first, and ask me to reimburse you with the receipt later. In addition, if you have any good pop song tapes, you can also buy some back. You ran for nothing, and I will give you the market price." Duan Yun said seriously.

Duan Yun never expected that he already had a Walkman these days. He clearly remembered that in his previous life, it was not until the end of the 90s, when Duan Yun was in high school, that he had his own Walkman. The domestic ones are of average quality, and the price is around a few hundred dollars. In name, they are for learning English. In fact, they spend most of their time hiding under the covers and listening to popular songs. Although the sound quality is not good, it gives He brought a lot of joy back then.
