Life 1984

Chapter 4 Earned 80 yuan in three seconds!
Sony's products of this period were of very high quality, and there were generally no problems with the circuit boards.

This is a mechanical failure, and the principle is actually very simple.

Li Yunhai removed the front panel and then the back panel.

He checked the motor and speed-stabilizing circuit to see if the voltage-reducing resistor was burned out.

Finally, he carefully removed the circuit board and the spring blade of the micro switch.

This spring leaf has been deformed and cannot contact the micro switch.

Li Yunhai carefully hammered the spring leaf flat and then installed it.

He installed the circuit board first, and then fixed the front and rear panels.

Before installing the screws, turn on the machine and try it out.

Music as clear as flowing water came from the speakers.

The crowd cheered: "It's fixed!"

Someone muttered: "Isn't this too easy? In just two moments, I made 20 yuan! This is higher than half a month's salary of my dad! I think giving him 2 yuan is enough!"

Li Yunhai said without raising his head: "Classmate, repairs are only worth 2 yuan, but knowing how to repair them is worth 20 yuan! Knowledge is power! Knowledge is wealth, do you understand?"

Teacher Jiang smiled and said: "Okay, you are right! You have the ability! You deserve to earn this money!"

Li Yunhai chuckled, raised his head, and looked at the dancing girl.

The girl smiled sweetly at him, her eyes curved into crescent moons, and there were two shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth.

I saw that she was about 1.7 meters tall, tall and beautiful, wearing a silk dance skirt, showing a plump figure. Her face was like a hibiscus, her eyebrows were like willow leaves, her eyes were more charming than peach blossoms, and her skin was like snow. Her black hair is pulled up into a high bun, like a peony flower in bud, beautiful but not seductive, gorgeous but not vulgar, charming and charming, attracting people to think about.

The young teacher clapped his hands: "Okay, students, hurry up and get ready. The performance starts on time at seven o'clock."

The onlookers dispersed.

Li Yunhai installed the screws and tried the machine again to make sure there was no problem before Shi Shiran left.

Li Yunhai, who originally only had five yuan, earned 20 yuan by chance!

This is really a huge sum of money for him.

His family comes from a rural area, and his parents have to dig and eat in the soil with their faces facing the loess and their backs turned to the sky. In the past few years, they have divided the responsibilities of the land. After the land was contracted to each household, the family's conditions are slightly better, but life is still tight. Yes, the family doesn’t have any money left.

Li Yunhai attended technical secondary school for three years. He lived frugally and finally saved ten yuan of pocket money for himself. When he visited Shen's house, he generously bought a gift of almost five yuan, which was all he had ever spent in his life. The most amount of money.

And the 20 yuan just now was the largest amount of money he had ever made in his life.

He did not leave, but sat in the auditorium and watched the free performance.

In this era where watching an outdoor movie is considered a luxury, cultural and entertainment life is already lacking, and high-level artistic performances like this are hard to come by.

The graduation performance of the art school was very exciting, especially the dance. The girl on the stage danced with a graceful posture, as light as a swallow, her body was as soft as clouds, her arms were as soft as boneless, and she danced like a lotus step by step, like a flower. The butterflies flying in the room are like gurgling water, like the bright moon in the mountains, like the morning light in the alley, like the round dew on the tip of the lotus leaf, making people feel like drinking fine wine, and they are so drunk that they can't control themselves.

After watching the performance, Li Yunhai left the art school and returned to his own school to rest.

Li Yunhai woke up early the next morning.

He was in no rush to return home.

The adventure of making money last night made Li Yunhai realize that this was a good opportunity to make money.

In this era, there is a shortage of technical personnel!
Especially for some special machines, there are no dedicated maintenance personnel in the society.

Li Yunhai has been dealing with electrical appliances and machinery all his life in his previous life, and has accumulated a lot of rich experience in repairing it. Whether it is old or new electrical appliances or machinery, when it comes to him, he can tell where the problem is just by looking at it. How can it be fixed.

After a night of thinking, Li Yunhai decided to stay in the provincial capital for a while to make some money before going home.

He was afraid that his family would be worried, so he wrote a letter and mailed it back, telling his family that he had to do something at school and would not go home for the time being.

Li Yunhai had breakfast in the cafeteria and bought a few large steamed buns to take with him. He put a set of repair tools that he had accumulated over the past few years into his yellow canvas schoolbag along with the steamed buns and walked out of the school.

After studying in the provincial capital for three years, Li Yunhai wandered around when he had time. He had already become familiar with all the scenic spots and streets in the provincial capital.Especially places like train stations, Xinhua Bookstore, book markets, and parks, he would go there every Monday when he had free time.

He finally jumped out of the farm gate, wasn't it just to see the wonderful world outside?Even if you can't travel all over the world, you still have to walk thousands of miles in the provincial capital.

Li Yunhai came to the May Day Article near May Day Square.

The full name of "May Day Cultural Supplies Store" is May Day Cultural Supplies Store, which was formerly a state-owned cultural supplies store. Opened in April 1980, the business scope is very wide, including high, middle and low-end.Later it was renamed "May Day Cultural Supplies Mall".

This is a six-story building. The lower two floors are a shopping mall, the third floor is rented out to several different commercial organizations, and the upper floors are probably dormitories and staff clubs for shopping mall employees.

Li Yunhai had come here to buy stationery before and knew that printers and copiers were sold here.

He found a green tree near Wuyiwen Company, sat on the edge of the flower bed under the tree, and took out a piece of corrugated paper that he had prepared long ago, with a line of large characters written on it:
“Professional repair of typewriters, printers, and copiers at reasonable prices.”

Li Yunhai put the corrugated paper on the root of the big tree. This was his advertisement.Then he took out a novel and leaned against the tree trunk to read.

He is just sitting back and waiting.

There are not many places where you can buy these equipment in the provincial capital. Except for May Day Wen, that is, Kewen, the computer city and printer city that will be popular in later generations have not yet been built!

Wuyi Wen Company operates 10 major series and more than 8000 varieties of cultural supplies and modern office equipment. Its business of computer equipment, copying equipment, musical instruments and other products has a market share of more than 40% in the province, making it the largest cultural company in the country. Supplies specialty store.

People who come to Wuyiwen store must be potential customers of Li Yunhai.

This is the busiest section of the provincial capital, with busy traffic and people coming and going.

Pedestrians passing by would occasionally take a curious look at Li Yunhai lying under the tree.

One morning passed, and Li Yunhai did not open the door.

He brought steamed buns and water, and did not go to a restaurant at noon. He ate two steamed buns and drank some water for lunch.

July is full of fire and the sun is in full swing.

Fortunately, it is very cool under the shade of the trees, and there are high-rise buildings nearby to block the harsh sun. A few miles past May Day Square is the riverside, and the river breeze blows over, making it cool and pleasant.

There was still no business in the afternoon.

He wasted a day here in vain.

On the contrary, he has finished half of the novel he brought.

The next day, Li Yunhai still brought the steamed buns and repair tools and went outside Wuyiwen to wait for business.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, a middle-aged woman with curly hair came to Li Yunhai.The woman looked at the words on the corrugated paper, then looked at Li Yunhai, and asked: "Little comrade, is Master You here? Can you repair a typewriter?"

When Li Yunhai heard this, he immediately became energetic, put down the novel in his hand, and said with a smile: "Sister, the master is here! Do you want to repair the typewriter?"

The woman looked around: "Yes! There is something wrong with the typewriter in our unit. Where is your master?"

Li Yunhai patted his chest and said, "I am the master!"

The woman groaned and shook her head: "Are you kidding me? Comrade, can you repair a typewriter? No one will believe you!"

Li Yunhai talked eloquently: "Sister, let me tell you this, looking at the entire provincial capital, no one knows typewriters, printers and copiers better than me. If I can't fix the problem, others can't fix it even more. Others can't fix it. If the machine is well repaired, my price is cheaper than theirs! And, let me tell you, sister, as long as the machine I have repaired has the same problem in the future, I will give you a free warranty within a month!"

The woman yelled, took a step back, and looked Li Yunhai up and down: "You little comrade, how old are you? You have such a strong tone!"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Sister, I am a graduate of Xizhou Industrial Technical School. I majored in repairing electrical appliances and machines! Am I not more reliable than those so-called masters who have not gone to school for a few days? You have to believe in the country The level of education!”

The woman said: "Are you a technical secondary school graduate? Don't you have a job?"

Li Yunhai said: "I've just graduated, and it's not time to report yet. I'm just idle at home, using what I learned after graduation to find something to do, to solve the practical difficulties in the people's work and life, and by the way Also help solve the family’s financial difficulties.”

The woman chuckled and said, "You little comrade, you are quite interesting to talk about."

Li Yunhai took out his graduation certificate and work registration certificate and handed them to the woman: "Sister, I really won't lie to you. These are my documents. You can check them."

The woman took the diploma, looked at the steel seal on it, and said, "He is really a technical secondary school student! Have you ever seen a typewriter?"

Li Yunhai didn't mean to show off his talents, he just wanted to gain the trust of the other party, and said: "An old-fashioned mechanical typewriter, right? Chinese or foreign? The Chinese one is equivalent to a movable type printing plate. This thing actually has the same principle as steel plate printing. Print out the wax paper and you can make copies.”

The woman exclaimed, "You really know how to type a typewriter! When I told others, they didn't even understand what it was! Okay, come with me to the work unit and see if you can repair it."

Li Yunhai packed his belongings into his bag and followed the woman.

The woman works in a bank on Wuyi Road, not far from Wuyiwen, only a ten-minute walk away.

"I passed by there yesterday and saw you, but I saw that you were too young and I didn't dare to call you." The woman smiled, "There is something wrong with the typewriter in our unit, and no one can fix it."

Li Yunhai said: "Computer printers and copiers are now popular. Not many people know how to use these old-fashioned machines. What's wrong with your company's typewriter?"

"Come in and take a look!" The woman led Li Yunhai to an office at the back.

It turned out that when the bank was using a typewriter to print materials, it found that the typed content was uneven.

The woman took out a few pieces of printed wax paper and handed them to Li Yunhai to look at: "Here, this is it. The printed materials look like this and are completely unusable!"

Li Yunhai didn't need to disassemble the machine. He took a look at the printed materials and saw that the words on it were crooked, and he knew what the problem was.

"Sister, I just told you that the typewriters I have repaired have after-sales service. In other words, after I have fixed this problem, if the same problem occurs again within a month, you can contact me for free. Let me fix it for you.”

The woman said, "Okay, tell me, how much will it cost to repair it?"

Li Yunhai thought to himself, this bank is owned by a rich man!If you don’t rip them off, you’ll have a hard time with your conscience!
So, he decided to quote a very high repair price.

"Sister, let me fix it for you, it costs 80 yuan!"

The woman said, "Can you really fix it?"

Li Yunhai saw that she did not bargain, but repeatedly asked if it could be repaired, so he knew that the other party could accept his offer.

"Sister, don't worry, I will fix it for you right now."

Li Yunhai's idea is correct. In this era, it is indeed not easy to find professional maintenance personnel.

Occasionally, I find a knowledgeable master who offers a much higher price than Li Yunhai!

A typewriter costs several thousand yuan, and repairing it only costs a few dozen yuan, which is relatively not expensive.

This is a relatively old-fashioned mechanical typewriter, which is extremely expensive and only available in government agencies. Most people use steel plates and inks to print.

The woman pointed at the typewriter and said, "Okay, 80 yuan! You can fix it and I'll get you a glass of water."

After Li Yunhai got her consent, he put his yellow cloth bag on the desk, took out the tools, and started repairing the typewriter.

This glitch couldn't be simpler, simpler than the problem I encountered last night!
The reason for the uneven typing is that the positioning bell of the typewriter is malfunctioning.

Just adjust the positioning bell and the whole process takes less than three seconds.

The woman brought a glass of water over, placed it next to Li Yunhai, and said, "Little comrade, drink some water before repairing."

Li Yunhai had adjusted the positioning bell and said to the woman: "Sister, I have fixed it. You can try the typewriter again."

The woman looked at him in surprise: "Have you done it yet?"

Li Yunhai picked up the water glass, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Yes, eldest sister, I have fixed it. I said that if the machine has the same fault, I will repair it within a month! So, you don't have to worry about me. No matter how long it took to repair it, you don’t have to ask me what method I used.”

There are other people in the office.

A slightly bald middle-aged man said: "Director Wu, I did see him repairing a certain part, and it was done in a few seconds!"

The woman was Director Wu. She exclaimed, "I didn't realize it, little comrade, you are really a master!"

As she spoke, she brought the wax paper for printing, turned on the phone and tried to print a piece of paper.

The printed materials this time were written clearly and neatly.

Director Wu smiled happily and said: "Hey, it's really good! Comrade, you are very skilled! To tell you the truth, we hired two masters who repair electrical appliances. They tinkered for a long time, but they still couldn't fix it!"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "There are specialties in the craft. A master who repairs electrical appliances is usually good at repairing TVs, radios and so on. As for this kind of mechanical typewriter, I guess they have never even seen it! How do they know how to repair it?" "

Director Wu said: "Thank you for your hard work, little comrade! You have helped us a lot! I have to type out some materials today!"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "It's easy to make money and it's not hard work."

Several people in the office laughed.

Director Wu immediately took out 80 yuan and handed it to Li Yunhai.

In a few seconds, Li Yunhai earned 80 yuan!

In addition to the 20 yuan he earned the night before, he had a huge sum of 100 yuan in his pocket!
In this era when the per capita salary is 40 yuan, it only took him two or three days to earn what others would earn in two or three months.

This feeling of making money is as exciting as holding Shen Xiulan that day!
And this is just the beginning.
