Life 1984

Chapter 46 You Are Amazing!
The cinema was very quiet, and Li Yunhai could feel Lin Zhi's gaze from time to time.

The story of the movie "Under the Bridge" is very simple. It tells the story of a single mother who fell in love with someone while jumping in line. The man abandoned her after he went abroad. She became pregnant and gave birth to a child. After returning to the city, she posed on the street. Earning a living at a sewing stall, she develops a new relationship with the male protagonist who repairs bicycles across the street.

Although the plot is dull, you can feel the innocence and beauty from it. The performances are natural and vivid, the colors are elegant and fresh, there are no famous brands, no edges, no heavy makeup, and no fancy words. This is life.

This era was exactly the era Li Yunhai lived in. In the early days of reform and opening up, life returned to daily life. Cars were repaired, men were sewn, teachers were taught, and people were cooking. The life of self-employed people seemed to be more free and comfortable.

After watching the movie, Li Yunhai and the four of them discussed the plot and went home without mentioning it.

The next morning, Li Yunhai packed up his tools and prepared to set up a stall on May Day.

As soon as he went out, he saw Lin Zhi riding a bicycle, and she handed a bag to Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai opened it and saw that it was the money he had sent last night. He couldn't help but be surprised: "Miss Lin, what's wrong? Is the money short again?"

Lin Zhi pursed her lips and smiled: "The money is right, but I don't want the money. You scratched my bag, just pay me an identical bag."

Li Yunhai smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not going abroad, and I don't have an aunt in Italy. How can I buy you the same bag?"

Lin Zhi raised her chin and said with a smile: "Then I don't care, you can go figure it out!"

Li Yunhai thought for a while and said, "How about this? Ask your aunt in Italy to help and bring you another one, and I'll pay for it?"

Lin Zhi shook her head: "That won't work. This was a gift from my aunt for my 18th birthday. My parents didn't know this bag was so expensive! I told them it only cost more than 100 yuan! They If they knew that I was using such an expensive bag, they would definitely criticize me seriously and say that I have become a capitalist lady."

She then told Li Yunhai: "You really don't want to send this money to my house anymore. I won't accept it. Or you can stop compensating me! If you feel bad and sincerely want to compensate me, just buy me an identical bag." ”

After saying that, she reversed the bicycle, straddled it, and soon disappeared in front of Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai looked at the bag of money and wondered, where could he get an identical bag?
He doesn't know much about luxury goods and rarely consumes them.

There are dozens of famous Italian bag brands!Many brands have not entered our country.

Purely handmade luxury bags are very expensive.

Li Yunhai only knows Prada, Gucci and Versace. These brands are as famous as LV and Hermès, so he has heard of them.He knew nothing about other brands.

"Little master! I came to see you yesterday afternoon. Why weren't you in the store?" came a familiar voice.

When Li Yunhai saw that the person who came was the same typist who sent the typewriter to be repaired last time, he smiled and said: "I went to the Industrial and Commercial Office yesterday afternoon to apply for a business license. Comrade, are you okay? Do you want to repair the typewriter again?"

Because he saw a wooden box tied with straps on the back seat of the other party's bicycle.

The middle-aged man parked the bicycle, unpacked the wooden box, carried it into the store, put it on the repair table, and said with a smile: "I helped contact several units. They want to buy a total of four copiers. Can you supply them? "

When Li Yunhai heard about such a big business, he was happy and sad at the same time. He was happy that he had received such a big order, but he was worried that he only had three good copiers.

"I have three copiers now," Li Yunhai said, handing over a cigarette. "The next batch of goods should be available in about a week. Do you think you can wait?"

The middle-aged man said yes, so just buy three units first!

Li Yunhai led him into the store, showed him the three copiers one by one, and said, "I provide a one-year warranty free of charge."

The middle-aged man looked at the door and whispered: "The price you mentioned last time? Give me [-] per unit? Can it be a little less?"

Li Yunhai showed him the receipts from the previous two transactions: "I sold it to the bank for [-], and I'll give you [-], which is already a very good deal."

When middle-aged people see the documents, they stop bargaining.

Li Yunhai reached an agreement with him and delivered the goods to his door after paying the money.

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "You don't need to deliver the goods. I'll call a car to pull it. As for the money, I've already brought it!"

He opened the wooden box, and it was full of money neatly stacked inside!

"6 yuan! I brought all the money for four copiers! You only have three now, so I will buy you three first and pay you 4 yuan!"

Li Yunhai counted the money, and there was no mistake. He took out the triple receipt he bought at Wuyiwen on the spot and wrote three receipts. The prices written on the receipts were all 16800 yuan per unit.

Triple receipts, also called triple slips, are divided into three colors: black, green, and red. There is blue carbon paper sandwiched in the middle. If you write on the top couplet, the writing will also appear on the bottom two coupons.

The middle-aged man went outside and called for a small four-wheel truck.

Li Yunhai helped load the car, locked the door locks, got in the car, and followed the middle-aged man to three different units to help install the copiers and debug them on site.

After finishing my work, it was noon.

Li Yunhai asked the middle-aged man for his contact information.

This person's name is Zhu Quan, the leader of a foreign-related agency. When he first joined the unit, he was a typist and was later promoted.The typewriter was his personal treasure.

The units Zhu Quan helped contact this time were all enterprises and institutions affiliated to their agencies.

Li Yunhai and Zhu Quan agreed to supply the copy machine one week later.

He won’t set up a stall anymore. The demand for photocopiers is huge, so why should he set up a stall?
I have to make a quick trip to Huacheng to stock up!
Li Yunhai's current store is too small and the goods it can hold are limited.

If he wants to expand his business, he must first find a warehouse for inventory.

Li Yunhai came to the street, found a public phone booth, and contacted Ding Qiang.

Ding Qiang said that he was in Xizhou and would go to Huacheng tomorrow morning.

Li Yunhai said, Brother Ding, that's great. I'll take your car to Huacheng tomorrow. I want to buy a batch of goods there and come back.

Ding Qiang said no problem.

He learned that Li Yunhai was worried about finding a warehouse and said that our unit had several idle warehouses.Why don't you come over and take a look?
Li Yunhai was overjoyed, and immediately asked where his unit was, and then took a bus there.

He had guessed well before that Ding Qiang's unit was indeed a military industrial enterprise.Li Yunhai arrived at the door of Ding Qiang's unit and was communicating with the security guard when he saw Ding Qiang coming over.

Ding Qiang came over to say hello to the guard and led Li Yunhai in.

In this kind of unit, foreign visitors cannot enter without a leader to say hello or an acquaintance to guide them.

Ding Qiang smiled and said: "I have already asked our leaders for you. They asked you what materials you mainly store? If they are not toxic, flammable, or prohibited substances, they can be rented to you. The rent is per warehouse per month. 50 yuan.”

Li Yunhai said that he rented the warehouse to store office equipment such as copy machines.

The two came to see the leader.

The leader is a man over fifty. He is tall and has a serious expression on his face. He has a military temperament at first glance.But he was easy to talk to and had a straightforward personality. He asked Li Yunhai what he did and what he was renting the warehouse for, and he also looked at his relevant identity documents.

Li Yunhai had already prepared and brought over his graduation certificate, store lease contract, industrial and commercial business license application receipt, and other supporting documents.

The leader took it and looked at each one carefully, then asked: "Do you need such a big warehouse to put a copy machine?"

Li Yunhai said yes, I plan to expand the business.

The leader asked: "What are you buying so many copy machines for?"

Li Yunhai said that he repaired and sold them as second-hand copiers. The obsolescence cycle of foreign office equipment is three to five years. After repairing and replacing spare parts, these machines can continue to be used for more than five years.

The leader asked again, how much do your copiers cost?
Li Yunhai said that the copy machines that I repaired cost 16800 yuan each, while the brand-new machines of the same model cost 46800 yuan each.Second-hand machines can also be used, and the price is 3 yuan cheaper, which is a good deal.The most important thing is that I can also provide a one-year free warranty. You can also contact me for future repairs. I can provide spare parts at a discount.

After hearing this, the leader raised his thick eyebrows, grabbed the microphone on the table, and made a call.

The phone went through quickly.

The leader said into the microphone: "Comrade Wang Kang, please come to my office."

After saying that, he hung up the phone with a bang.

Li Yunhai was a little confused. He didn't know what was going on, so he had to wait patiently.

Less than 2 minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" the leader said majestically.

The person who came was none other than Wang Kang.

"Hello, leader!" Wang Kang bent over slightly with a smile on his face.

The leader asked: "How much did each of the copiers our unit just purchased cost?"

Wang Kang replied: "Boss, what we purchased is a Ricoh brand copier. It is the latest model and costs 46800 yuan each. We purchased it from Kewen Company and we have formal documents."

The leader turned to Li Yunhai and asked: "Is this the type of aircraft you just mentioned?"

Li Yunhai said: "If the price is right, it is the same model. The best-selling Ricoh copiers are two models, one is this one, and the other is more than 3 yuan, with a copying speed of only 30 sheets per minute, and functional It’s not that complete.”

The leader nodded and said to Wang Kang: "Return those copiers! They are too expensive! There are cheap ones here! For the price of one, you can buy three!"

Wang Kang's face instantly became colorful, and he said with some embarrassment: "Boss, we have already ordered these copiers. Kewen Company said they would deliver them tomorrow. Isn't it bad if we want to return them now?" ? We have always been a cooperative unit with Kewen Company."

The leader's eyes widened: "You can't return it before delivery? Who stipulates it? You asked the manager of Kewen Company to come to me and I want to return it! Let's see what he will do!"

Wang Kang wiped his face and said: "Leader, I understand. I will discuss the return with Kewen Company. I believe they are also reasonable people and should be able to return it."

The leader waved his hand seriously: "Go and do it right away!"

Wang Kang lowered his hands and respectfully agreed, then glanced at Li Yunhai and retreated.

Li Yunhai was really overjoyed!

Unexpectedly!

Come rent a warehouse for 50 yuan and sell a few copy machines!

unexpected surprise!

The leader turned to Li Yunhai and said, "How long will it take for your copier to be back? I want to reserve six units!"

Six!

Each unit can save [-]!

A total of 18 can be saved!
No wonder the leader immediately canceled the order from Kewen Company when he heard that there was a cheap second-hand copier to buy.

Li Yunhai replied respectfully: "Boss, my copier can be supplied in a week at most."

The leader gave a loud hum: "Very good! Comrade Li Yunhai, I have rented the warehouse to you. The rent for each warehouse is 50 yuan a month. We now have four idle warehouses. How many do you want to rent?" "

Li Yunhai didn't know how big the warehouse was, but even if it were rented out, it would only cost 200 yuan a month, which was nothing to him now.

For the sake of future development, Li Yunhai rented all four warehouses in one go.

There were no outsiders here. Li Yunhai whispered to the leader: "Boss, the quotation for our copy machine to the unit is [-], and the quotation to the introducer is [-]."

The leader was stunned and thought for a while before he understood. He waved his hand and said, "I know what you mean! Since you can do [-], then you can give our unit [-]! I won't be a middleman." !”

Li Yunhai felt admiration in his heart and said respectfully: "Okay, that's [-] per unit. You are a good leader."

The leader looked at him deeply and said, "Comrade Xiao Li, you are very powerful!"
