Life 1984

Chapter 139 It’s inevitable to win【Please subscribe】

If you buy a ticket at the Music Cafe in Silver Garden, you can get a free cup of tea and unlimited refills.The staff brought a tea tray and placed several cups of tea in front of Li Yunhai and the others.

Hearing Wang Baozhen's questioning, Li Yunhai glanced at her coldly.

Shen Xiulan's expression remained unchanged. She didn't bother to explain to Wang Baozhen at all.

Liu Jie quickly kicked Wang Baozhen and winked at her to signal her to stop talking.

How does Wang Baozhen know the whole story?Shen Xiulan never talked about personal matters with her.She had seen Li Yunhai being nice to Shen Xiulan before, and now she saw Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi sitting close to each other, so she naturally had questions.

Lin Zhi glanced at Shen Xiulan, then squeezed Li Yunhai's arm, and said with a playful smile: "Comrade, are you curious? Let me answer you! Shen Xiulan and I are both Li Yunhai's girlfriends !”

Wang Baozhen's eyes widened instantly, looking at the three of them in disbelief.

Liu Jie was holding the cup and preparing to drink tea. Unexpectedly, the tea was hot, and when he heard Lin Zhi's harsh words, he instantly spit out the hot tea that was in his mouth, and it just hit Wang Baozhen. She is all over.

Li Yunhai and others laughed.

Lin Zhi laughed until she burst into laughter and shouted "Ouch".

Wang Baozhen's face was scalded by the water and she screamed.

The staff came over and asked what happened?

Liu Jie smiled and waved, saying it was okay.

Wang Baozhen took out her handkerchief and kept wiping her face.

Li Yunhai, Lin Zhi, and Shen Xiulan laughed even harder.

When Liu Jie looked at Wang Baozhen's face, he laughed like a fool, pointed at her and shouted loudly: "The makeup on your face is all gone! Why did you ask me not to put on makeup? You insist on putting it on, so take a quick look in the mirror!"

Wang Baozhen was ashamed, annoyed, and helpless. She opened the bag she carried with her, took out a round mirror and took a look, and she turned into a big painted face!

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked Liu Jie for a tissue to wipe her face.

Liu Jie said where can I bring tissues?You don’t take any women with you?Ask the waiter yourself to go.

Lin Zhi brought toilet paper towels, took out a pack and handed it to Wang Baozhen.

Wang Baozhen took it and said thank you.

The toilet paper of this era was all pink with a little wrinkle, also called wrinkled toilet paper. It was made of cotton pulp and came in two kinds of packaging: roll and paper.

The reason why the paper is pink is that when producing toilet paper, a certain amount of potassium permanganate is added to the pulp for disinfection. When potassium permanganate dissolves in water, it becomes a pink liquid.

Wang Baozhen poured some tea onto a tissue, wiped off all the makeup on her face, and then she was done.

But she had become the laughing stock of the whole crowd. The customers all around saw her colorful face and pointed at her and started talking.

After such a fuss, Wang Baozhen became honest and stopped talking too much.

The performance on stage officially began.

A male singer was holding a wired microphone and singing on it, while a band was playing.

The music cafe has singing and dancing performances, which is very rare in this era. Like the video hall, it has become a favorite place for young people.

The tables and chairs in the teahouse are all made of wood, one row on the left and one on the left. The two tables in the middle are put together, and the table at the back is supporting the chair in front. There are five rows of such tables and chairs in the hall.The side table can seat three people, and the middle table can seat six people.Business was very good, and the seats were quickly filled. Some people did not use tables, but moved a chair to sit in the middle of the aisle, holding a cup of tea, listening to music and dancing.

Li Yunhai took a quick look and found that there were about sixty or seventy people sitting in the hall. In addition, some people left and some came in midway. Each person was charged 3 yuan for a ticket, which amounted to hundreds of yuan in one night. money income.After a month, the gross income should be around [-] yuan.

Tea is not worth much, and the band and singer hired only cost a few dozen yuan per month.

In 1984, this was definitely one of the hugely profitable industries.

Lin Zhi leaned over and laughed softly: "This man's singing is not very good, not as good as yours. Yunhai, can you go on stage to sing a folk song later?"

Li Yunhai repeatedly said, please spare me!If you want to sing, you go on stage and sing, so my voice won't show off.

When it first opened, it was all singing and dancing performances to attract popularity and retain the audience.

After half an hour of performance, the host will invite the audience to come on stage to sing whatever song they want, and the band will accompany you live.

The host was also an expert. He swept his eyes to find the most beautiful woman in the audience, pointed at Lin Zhi, and shouted: "This beautiful lesbian, do you want to come on stage and sing a song?"

Inviting beautiful women to sing on stage is not only pleasing to the eyes, but also can boost the atmosphere of the scene.

Lin Zhi pushed Shen Xiulan: "I'm calling you!"

Shen Xiulan smiled shyly: "I can't sing. In the past, I didn't dare to go on stage when the school held cultural evenings. I have never participated. Lin Zhi, the host is calling you, come on stage!"

The host laughed on the stage and said: "It seems that this lesbian needs a little applause and encouragement. Where is everyone's applause?"

The audience burst into warm applause, and everyone's eyes turned to Lin Zhi.

Who makes her the most beautiful woman in the audience?

The eyes of the masses are really discerning.

Lin Zhi pursed her lips, smiled lightly, stood up, and walked to the stage lightly.

The host smiled and asked: "Comrade, what song do you want to sing?"

Before Lin Zhi came on stage, she had already thought about it and said, "A country road."

The host said loudly: "Okay! Country Road, there is such a song in the Spring Festival Gala on February 1984, 2. I believe everyone is familiar with it. I have invited the band teacher, and I have invited this beautiful lesbian."

He handed the microphone to Lin Zhi.

The prelude sounded.

Lin Zhi's clear and melodious singing voice, with a bit of childlike innocence, a bit of girlish innocence, and a bit of yearning for a better life, rang out in the hall:

"Walking on a country road,
The old cow who returns at night is my companion,

The blue sky with a sunset in the chest,
Colorful clouds are the clothes of sunset..."

The lyrics of this song have fresh language and beautiful artistic conception, coupled with a lively and beautiful melody, which is very suitable for Lin Zhi's style.

It can be seen and heard that Lin Zhi really loves life and likes and yearns for everything in the countryside.

No wonder she can stay in Shiban Village.

At this moment, what appeared in front of her eyes was that night when she and Li Yunhai walked on the country road together, sat on the rocks on the bank of Baixi River, looked at the moon together, and counted the stars together.

Many songs in the 80s, whether from the Mainland or Hong Kong and Taiwan, have a strong local flavor.

Creators of this era are also willing to go to the vast countryside to collect styles, learn and find inspiration.

The audience at the scene all followed the beat, applauded gently, and hummed along.

After a song, the audience applauded thunderously.

"Are you singing well?" the host asked loudly.

"Okay!" The audience responded loudly.

"Would you like another one?" the host asked.

"Yes!" The audience laughed.

The host smiled and asked Lin Zhi: "Comrade, please tell the truth, are you a professional? I think you must be a professional, and you are here to destroy our actors' jobs."

Lin Zhi chuckled and said, "Singing is my amateur. My major is dancing."

The host said loudly: "Did you hear that? It's incredible, she just finished destroying the jobs of our singers, and next she wants to destroy the jobs of our dancers."

The whole audience burst into laughter and applauded Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi waved her hands repeatedly: "I won't dance anymore, let others perform!"

The host shouted: "That won't work, the whole audience will not agree! You have already said that you are an amateur in singing, but you can sing so well. If you dance, it must not become the headline of tomorrow's evening news ? Look, there is really a reporter taking pictures at the end! He is the most famous reporter of Xizhou Evening News, Comrade Jiang Feng! "

Li Yunhai looked back and saw that there was actually a reporter holding a camera and waving to everyone.

The man introduced himself: "Hello everyone, I am a reporter from the Xizhou Evening News. My name is Jiang Feng! I am here today to cover and report on the Silver Garden Music Teahouse."

Lin Zhi is a professional actor, so of course she won't have stage fright. With everyone's applause and encouragement, she said, "I'll just dance."

The host asked what song to dance to?
Lin Zhi said let’s dance like a white-haired girl’s window flower dance!
The host said that the white-haired girl is great. This is a famous example of combining ballet and folk dance. It cannot be danced without a certain foundation of skills.

Lin Zhi was wearing women's leather shoes. Of course, she couldn't dance in such shoes. She took off her shoes and put them aside.Dancing in just socks.

Dancers will wear dance socks when dancing, which can avoid direct contact between the skin and the ground, protect the skin and reduce the probability of injury.The band teachers are absolutely professional and can play whatever music you want right away.

Lin Zhi slowly danced to the dance music.

The tune suddenly became extremely cheerful.

Lin Zhi's dance steps also became agile and changeable.

"Window Flower Dance" depicts the scene on New Year's Eve when Xi'er is waiting for her father, who has gone out to avoid debts, to come home for the New Year.The neighbor's second aunt brought cornmeal, and Xi'er was very happy.They cut window grilles and put up door gods to welcome the new year.The mood of the music is cheerful and expresses Xi'er's simplicity and kindness.

This dance music is very suitable for Lin Zhi to perform, and it constantly wins rounds of applause.

Lin Zhi finished dancing and put on her shoes.

The host wanted to ask if he wanted to do another one, but Lin Zhi didn't give him a chance and walked directly off the stage and sat next to Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai gave a thumbs up: "You dance really well."

Lin Zhi said with a smile: "I didn't wear dancing shoes, and the stage was too small, so I didn't perform well."

Shen Xiulan looked at Lin Zhi, who was versatile and agile, and bit her lip gently.

The host also encourages other customers to perform on stage. If no one comes on stage, he will invite his own actors.

To be honest, the actors they hired were all mediocre. Whether it was singing, dancing or appearance, they were not as good-looking as Lin Zhi.

Seeing nine o'clock, Li Yunhai and the others left first, and he had to send two beauties back!

Liu Jie and Wang Baozhen still stayed inside to kill time.

Seeing the three of them leaving, Wang Baozhen's big mouth started beeping again: "Liu Jie, what do you think is going on? How come Li Yunhai is dating them both at the same time? Isn't there something wrong with his style?"

Liu Jie chuckled: "Li Yunhai is a self-employed person, what's wrong with his style? Don't mind other people's business and watch the show! The three-dollar ticket is there! We have to see enough before we leave!"

……

The next day, Li Yunhai wanted to sell engineering copiers and engineering printers to the Construction Engineering Bureau.

He first called Mei Jiping.

"Leader Mei, I am Li Yunhai from Sihai Store. Are you free now? I won't disturb your work, right?"

"Li Yunhai, what's the matter?"

"We have sent people to help install the last purchase order from your organization. I'll pay you a return visit. I wonder how it went?"

"A brand new machine, of course there won't be any problems."

"That's good. Regarding the training of personnel in your unit, I would like to take some time to make a report to the leader. I wonder when you will be free?"

"Come here, I'm free this morning."

"Okay, leader, see you later."

Li Yunhai put down the phone, took the relevant information, and rode a motorcycle to the Provincial Construction Bureau.

He came upstairs to find Mei Jiping.

Mei Jiping was talking to someone. When he saw him coming, he waved his hand and asked the subordinate to go out.

"How is the renovation of your hometown house going?" Mei Jiping walked out from behind the desk and asked Li Yunhai to sit on a chair aside.

Li Yunhai handed over a cigarette and said with a smile: "Thanks to the help of the leader, a professional construction team was assigned to me. I received a letter from home, saying that the mixed-use house has been built and the old house is ready to be demolished to lay the foundation. ”

"Not bad! Not many people are renovating new houses in rural areas now, right?"

"I am the first household in our village. The main reason is that it is too expensive. Red bricks are sold for 4 cents a piece."

"It still needs to go up! Infrastructure construction is going on everywhere now, and people who got rich first are going home to build houses, which requires a lot of red bricks. I estimate that it may rise to 4 cents next year, and it will rise the year after that." To 5 minutes.”

Li Yunhai thought to himself that smart people do not need experience in previous lives to make correct judgments based on the development of the situation.

He first talked to Mei Jiping about the training and said: "Comrade Mei Qing from your company is now ready to serve as a training instructor. I will send my apprentices here, and there will be two people as trainers. Every week, each The teacher gives one class, and the rest of the time, the students are allowed to practice and digest it on their own. After two months of learning, it should be almost done.”

"Okay!" Mei Jiping was very satisfied with this arrangement.

Li Yunhai also talked about the salary of lecturers, saying that the price at the Youth Palace is 20 yuan per class. If the number of students in your organization is more than double, there is no need to pay more. It is still 20 yuan per class. I am According to this arrangement, my apprentice comes here every Tuesday night from [-] to [-] pm to attend classes.Mei Qing is in charge of the Saturday night classes.Classes every three days are just right.

Mei Jiping laughed and said that was the decision.

After Li Yunhai finished talking about the training, he took out a brochure of engineering machines, handed it to Mei Jiping, and said respectfully: "Boss, this is a new batch of machines in our store, please take a look."

“Or photocopiers and computers?”

"No, the goods we purchased this time are engineering copiers, engineering printers, and engineering scanners."

Mei Jiping is indeed an expert. When he hears the name, he knows what kind of machine it is.

He couldn't help but put down his crossed legs, took the information and looked through it: "Oh? Have you started making engineering machines? A0 size? That's okay! Do you know who we need to find the drawings for our engineering projects now?"

"Xijiang University?" Li Yunhai heard him call, so he knew.

"Actually, it's not Sogang University. They are only responsible for the design. To actually produce the drawings, you have to find a third-party agency."

"So the Design Institute of Sogang University doesn't have such high-end machines?"

"Probably not! Anyway, if we produce a design drawing now, it will be extremely expensive! The fee will be based on the total project cost, 2% to 3%!"

"Knowledge is priceless! We won't dare to start building bridges, tunnels, and buildings unless they are well designed!"

"That's right! Printing costs are high! Especially for large project drawings like ours, we don't even have room to bargain with how much others charge."

"Leader, then you have to consider buying our machine! It costs several million yuan a set. You can't suffer a loss or be cheated. But if you buy it, you can relieve your worries!"

"This? I'll think about it again. It's not a small amount of money! We just purchased office equipment and it cost too much! We need to wait a minute."

Li Yunhai looked at his words and saw that the other party was not being polite, so he thought, couldn't he get this order?

He has to find a way!
If the Construction Engineering Bureau doesn't buy his machine, who else can he turn to to sell it?

This order must be obtained!
Li Yunhai suddenly thought of something, made a calculation, and said:
"Leader, I wonder if you have heard of it? A foreign-related hotel is about to be built in Xizhou City, with a total investment of up to [-] million."

"I think I've heard that it's called Tianhua Hotel, right?"

"Yes, you should be responsible for the design and construction of this building, right?"

"I do have this idea, but Xizhou City seems to want to contract it to another unit."

"China Construction Second Bureau?"

"Hey! Li Yunhai, you know everything!"

"To be honest with the leaders, I am the second largest shareholder of Tianhua Hotel."

Mei Jiping suddenly raised his head, stared at Li Yunhai with his big eyes, and asked, "Is this true?"

Li Yunhai nodded calmly: "When have I ever spoken big words in front of the leader?"

Mei Jiping touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Are you the second shareholder? Then someone needs to talk about this!"

Li Yunhai looked at the door and saw no one there, so he lowered his voice and said, "With my relationship with the leader, I can contract this project to you, which is just a matter of words."

Mei Jiping's eyes flashed and he nodded slowly: "If this happens, then I have to treat you!"

Li Yunhai shook his head gently: "We don't have to worry about treating guests. It's the same for anyone who invites guests. However, I just got this batch of engineering machines back and I'm planning to promote them in the province. I regard the leader as a friend. I was the first to go to your company to promote it, and I have never even been to the Second Engineering Bureau of China Construction Engineering Corporation."

He said this deliberately, and also mentioned the China Construction Second Bureau. He did not need to clarify the powerful relationship here. I believe that with Mei Jiping's intelligence, it should not be difficult to figure out the key points.

Mei Jiping's expression changed, he leaned forward, approached Li Yunhai, and said: "We are old friends. If you have a new machine, of course you must recommend it to us first! Otherwise, I will be angry! What you did Is it Xiangjiang’s brand, Paiqi?”

Li Yunhai introduced the brand Paiqi, saying that the main movements and technologies are from Japan. He also said that Paiqi Company, which is affiliated to the Xiangjiang Chen Group, has now reached cooperation with Huacheng Copier Factory and will participate in the conference in October. of the Canton Fair, it can be said that this brand is one of the best machines we can buy in China.

He also emphasized that after-sales service is the most important thing. Our Sihai store takes care of this. What else do you need to consider?

Mei Jiping no longer had any worries, patted his thigh and said: "Well, I'll go to your store first to look at the goods, and you can show me how to operate them. I have to compare them with the previous finished products, don't you think? As long as I can If it reaches a level we recognize, then I will place an order!”

Li Yunhai said that it would be better to choose a day than to hit the sun in order to avoid long nights and dreams. Everyone is free today, so I would like to ask the leader to come to my store, right?

Mei Jiping thought for a while and said okay!
He called Mei Qing over, told her to bring over some old engineering drawings, and then took her, along with Li Yunhai, to Sihai Store to inspect engineering machinery.

This is the first order Li Yunhai wants to win, and he is bound to win it!
　First, ask for a monthly ticket.
