Life 1984

Chapter 27
Li Yunhai walked to the bus stop on the left side of the train station.

Suddenly someone in front shouted: "Robbery! Help!"

This is the parking lot, filled with all kinds of vehicles.

A tall and thin young man was grabbing an old man's backpack.

The old man was obviously a foreigner and spoke with a local accent.

The thin man grabbed the old man's backpack with all his strength. Seeing that the old man was protecting the backpack, he kicked the old man hard.

The old man shouted anxiously.

Although there were people nearby who saw him, they were too timid to come forward.

Li Yunhai shouted: "Let go! Police!"

The thin man turned around and saw Li Yunhai. He was tall and strong, with a straight back and bright eyes. He was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that Li Yunhai was speaking Mandarin!What does a person from out of town have to fear?

The gangster looked at Li Yunhai with cold and fierce eyes, and shouted in Cantonese: "I don't care where you are a police officer, it won't work here! Get out of here if you know how to do it!"

Li Yunhai called the police just to intimidate the other party. Seeing that the other party was not afraid, he had no choice but to run forward and punch the thin man in the head.

Fist is afraid of young strong!
Li Yunhai was born in the hometown of martial arts. He followed the old moves in the village to perform horse steps, practice routines, and punch sandbags since he was a child. In addition, he climbed mountains and rivers, farmed and dug grass since he was a child. He has a lot of strength, and this punch Hit it with great force.

The thin man was punched in the temple, his head was buzzing, his body staggered, and he fell back. He was panic-stricken and pulled out a jumping knife with his backhand.

The jumping knife made a crisp sound, and the sharp tip bounced out.

The thin man's face was as gloomy as black coal, and two rays of fierce light burst out from his eyes, as if he wanted to eat Li Yunhai alive.He jumped up suddenly, bared his teeth and claws, bared his jagged black teeth, roared and jumped like a furious beast, and raised his knife to stab Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai was anxious and dodged his body to avoid the opponent's sharp knife with all his strength.

The flashing knife with a cold light cut open the leather backpack on Li Yunhai's back with a clatter.

Li Yunhai was agile, and without waiting for the opponent to counterattack, he immediately stretched his right leg forward, inserted it between the opponent's feet, and at the same time hit the opponent's chest with an elbow.

This time he used so much force that the skinny man's lower body became unstable, and his upper body received another powerful blow, causing him to fall backwards.

Li Yunhai took advantage of the victory and pursued the attack, kicking the thin man hard on the right wrist.

The jumping knife fell to the ground with a clang, and slid to the bottom of a car.

The thin man knew he was no match for Li Yunhai, so he gritted his teeth, stared at him fiercely, and ran away quickly, rolling and crawling.

The old man who was robbed grabbed Li Yunhai's arm and said urgently: "Comrade, stop chasing him! Let him go!"

Li Yunhai was still gasping for breath, and he became frightened after thinking about it. He asked the old man, "Uncle, are you okay?"

The old man held Li Yunhai's hand tightly, his eyes filled with excitement, and he choked with tears and said: "Young man, thank you! You are so amazing! If it weren't for you, I would have suffered a big loss! Everything in my bag is …”

Li Yunhai waved his hand to stop the old man from talking. No matter what was in his bag, there was no need to tell it in public.

"Uncle, please leave here quickly! Goodbye!"

"Young man, what's your name? Where do you live from?"

"I'm a foreigner just like you! Let's go!"

Li Yunhai waved goodbye. He took off his backpack and took a look. What a good leather bag, but a big hole was opened by the gangster!Fortunately, there are no valuables in the bag.

He arranged the contents of the bag and put his clothes in the gap to block it.

Li Yunhai found the bus to Tianhe.

This year, Tianhe District had not yet been established. It was a suburb of Huacheng, full of low-rise houses, as well as vast farmland and mountains.

In the early 80s, Huacheng proposed an eastward urban spatial layout strategy, which ushered in opportunities for the development of the Tianhe area.Tianhe District will not be officially established until tomorrow in May.

Precisely because this is a suburb, house prices and land prices are extremely cheap, and many people choose to build factories and workshops here.

Most self-employed individuals and businessmen from other places also gather here.

Li Yunhai came here in later generations, but Tianhe this year was completely different from what he remembered.

He searched and asked, but it was almost dark and there were no clues.

But Li Yunhai did not give up.

Because he relied on his experience in his previous life, it was not difficult to judge that since the copier industrial park of later generations was located in this area, then the current copier businessmen must also be operating here!

The night is vast and the sky is filled with dark clouds.

On both sides of the narrow street, the fragrance of food can be heard, making people salivate.

Several teenage boys were taking a shower on the street with buckets of water, playing non-stop.

Li Yunhai was really hungry and had finished all the steamed buns he brought.

He saw a small restaurant on the street, and the smell of fried pork with chili wafted out, so he strolled in.

There was not much business in the store, and there were only two people sitting there.The boss was cooking on the stove set up by the door, and the wife was chopping vegetables on the chopping board next to it.

Li Yunhai listened to their chat and asked with a smile: "Fellow fellows, are you from Meishan?"

The boss exclaimed: "Yes! We are from Meishan, so are you? Oh, we are all fellow villagers! Do you work here?"

Li Yunhai found a seat by the door and sat down so that he could chat with his boss: "I'm here on a business trip. Fellow fellow, let me ask if there is anyone selling used copiers around here?"

The boss laughed when he heard this: "Is it that kind of foreign garbage copier?"

Li Yunhai felt as if he had found a treasure, his brows were filled with joy, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's the foreign garbage you mentioned. Do you know where I can buy it?"

The boss chuckled: "Little brother, what do you do with that foreign garbage?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Brother, just tell me! I have my own uses."

The landlady grinned and pointed to the right side of the street: "Here, right over there is a big shed full of food."

Li Yunhai stood up, stood at the door, and looked over there. Sure enough, he saw a shantytown and asked, "Is that over there? The place with the blue roofs?"

The landlady pointed again: "Yes, that's the piece."

Li Yunhai was not in a hurry to look for it. Food was the most important thing for people. He was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back. It was important to eat first.

He ordered fried pork with chili pepper and potato soup with perilla, which cost one yuan and fifty cents.

After eating and drinking, Li Yunhai came to the shantytown with blue roofs.

There is not even a street here, just a dirty little road with sewage flowing across it, emitting all kinds of unpleasant smells on hot summer evenings.

There are also people living on both sides of the shanty town. Some doors are open, and there are old people sitting at the door, shaking cattail leaf fans.

Li Yunhai stepped forward and asked: "Sir, may I ask, are there any old copiers for sale here?"

"What?" The old man turned his head.

Li Yunhai asked again. The old man didn't know what he was talking about, but Li Yunhai didn't understand a word of it.

At this time, a door opposite opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a white vest and large pants came out. He glanced at Li Yunhai and asked, "Are you looking for a copy machine?"

As soon as Li Yunhai heard that the other party had a Minnan accent, he was as happy as if he had found an organization. He walked over, handed over a cigarette, and said with a smile: "Hello, brother, I want to buy a copier. Is there anyone who sells copiers around here? Where?"

The middle-aged man took the cigarette, lit it himself, and asked, "Do you want to buy a copy machine? What will it be used for?"

Li Yunhai knew as soon as he heard that the other party was probably someone in this business, so he said: "To be honest, I want to buy a batch of cheap old copiers to refurbish and sell!"

The middle-aged man groaned and asked, "How old are you?"

When meeting people and talking to each other, Li Yunhai said casually: "Almost 20 years old!"

This is not a lie. He is 18 years old, almost 20 years old indeed.

The middle-aged man laughed and said: "You are so young, how dare you go out to run business?"

In order to appear more mature, Li Yunhai also lit a cigarette and smoked. His skillful smoking posture was very confusing and frightened the middle-aged people.

"Brother, just tell me, where can I buy used copy machines?"

The middle-aged man did not give directions immediately, but asked: "Who introduced you here?"

Li Yunhai had an idea and said, "There is a Hecheng Trading Company in Dongwan. Their boss's surname is Zheng. He is a distant cousin of mine. He introduced me here."

The middle-aged man exclaimed again: "You are a relative of Boss Zheng! You should have told me earlier! I am the Brother Guang you are looking for! Come in and talk!"

Li Yunhai was secretly happy, and he lied casually, and he really made the right bet.

No wonder Brother Guang is cautious. The foreign junk copiers of this period were actually smuggled in, but the inspection was not so strict.

If it wasn't introduced by an acquaintance, Brother Guang wouldn't discuss business with anyone casually.

Brother Guang took two puffs of cigarette, threw away the cigarette butt, stepped on it, and crushed the cigarette butt out.He looked at both sides of the door warily, and then led Li Yunhai into an iron door.

There is something special here, it is a large warehouse, densely packed with all kinds of copy machines!
Brother Guang patted a copier in front of him and said: "Copiers in Taiwan are very popular. In the company there, a copier will be eliminated after four or five years. What we bought is what they eliminated. Machines, you know this, right?”

Li Yunhai nodded calmly, looking at the mountains of copy machines in front of him, it was like seeing mountains of gold and silver, his eyes shining brightly.

He asked Brother Guang what the price of a copier was?
Brother Guang pointed to a copier and said: "These copiers have different prices. Like this Ricoh copier, it is in good condition and looks 1 to [-]% new. It will cost you [-] yuan, which is a very fair price! You How many units do you want to buy?”

As soon as Li Yunhai heard the quotation, his enthusiasm subsided.

A second-hand copier costs 1 yuan!
If you want to sell this kind of machine, you have to carefully repair it, and some parts need to be replaced.

After repairing a second-hand copier and then selling it, you can earn as much as 3000 yuan or [-]!
The problem is that the cost is too high. One machine costs more than 1 yuan.

And Li Yunhai helps others repair copiers and can earn 1000 yuan per machine. He doesn’t need such a big capital or take such big risks!
Is this business still worth doing?

Even if he wanted to do it, the funds in his pocket would not support him. He didn't even have the funds to buy a second-hand copier.

How to do?
