Life 1984

Chapter 90 Should I buy a motorcycle as a gift for my girlfriend?
Li Yunhai finally won the large order of 200 computers for the Youth Palace!
He was so happy!

Selling second-hand office equipment is a huge profit.

However, those who engage in first-hand imported office equipment business will be even more profitable!
In the 20s, an IBM computer sold for US$80 in the United States. According to the exchange rate of about 1795 at the time, it was converted into RMB 1.7 yuan.

This kind of computer sells for 2 yuan in Xiangjiang, my country, and 4 yuan in the mainland. The huge profits can be imagined.

Many companies make money by reselling computers, the most famous of which is Lenovo.

When Li Yunhai was reselling second-hand computers and copiers, Lenovo in the north was still in the process of being established and would take two months to be officially established.

In addition to Lenovo, the four major electronic companies in Beijin and Zhongguancun, which are connected to the two seas, also developed during this period.

Two connections and two seas refer to Sitong Company, Xintong Company, Jinghai Company and Kehai Company.Among them, "Sitong" and "Jinghai" are private economies, while Xintong, like Lenovo, was established relatively late and would not be established until the end of 1984.

According to the founder of Lenovo, the Chinese Academy of Sciences purchased 300 IBM PC/XT and 200 PC/AT. At that time, even within the Chinese Academy of Sciences, there were only a handful of people who knew how to use computers. Lenovo found the opportunity and seized the opportunity. He became a provider of computer acceptance, assembly, training, and maintenance services and made a fortune.

500 computers made Lenovo a turnaround!Before that, this newly established new technology development company was still reselling electronic watches, roller skates, color TVs, and even set up a stall to sell sports pants.

This shows how huge the computer profits back then were!

Li Yunhai's timing of entering this industry can be said to be neither too early nor too late. He registered the Sihai office equipment repair service store later than Sitong, Jinghai, and Kehai, but earlier than Lenovo and Xintong.

However, Li Yunhai was working alone and his start-up capital was too small, making it difficult to start a business in the early stages.

After winning the large order of 200 computers from the Youth Palace, Li Yunhai finally saved his first pot of gold.

The next day, Li Yunhai called on Ding Qiang, Sun Lei and others to help transport 200 computers to the Youth Palace.

The Youth Palace will set up four computer training rooms.

50 computers per training room.

Li Yunhai and Zhou Yushan said that they can contact me for computer assembly and maintenance.If you need computer training services, I can also provide them for an additional fee.

Zhou Yushan was happy when he heard this and said that we are about to train a group of internal employees. If you know computers, then we invite you to be our training teacher!
Li Yunhai said that my fees are relatively expensive. Each class is 45 minutes and costs 50 yuan per class. I can also send apprentices to teach you and charge 20 yuan per class.

Zhou Yushan said okay, it’s hard to find people who know computer technology now, and I’ll contact you then.

With Zhou Yushan's endorsement, Li Yunhai settled the payment smoothly.

The payment of 80 can only be transferred.

For insurance reasons, Li Yunhai divided the 80 yuan into four parts and transferred them to four different bank accounts.

For finance, this is just one more procedure. After taking advantage of Li Yunhai, they readily agreed.

When the money arrived, plus the remaining 24.6 yuan, Li Yunhai's bank deposits exceeded 100 million yuan for the first time!

In his four passbooks, there is a total deposit of 104.6 million!
Li Yunhai was filled with emotion!
His original dream was to be a millionaire, but he accidentally became a millionaire!

In this life, I am lucky to be on the right path!

If he still followed the old path of his previous life and went to work at the Meishan County Machinery Factory, he would be considered a second-level skilled worker and could earn a monthly salary of 32 yuan.And 32 yuan per month is considered a high salary in Meishan County!The monthly salary of ordinary people is only a dozen or 20 yuan.

On this day, Li Yunhai finished assembling computers at the Youth Palace on Zhongshan Road and rode a tricycle back to Wuyi Road. He passed by a Zhongshan Road department store and saw a motorcycle sales event at the door, so he stopped the tricycle and walked over.

He took a fancy to the imported Suzuki TR125 at a glance.

After the reform and opening up, society has developed rapidly and the economic level has been greatly improved. With the increasing living standards of ordinary people, bicycles can no longer satisfy some people's long-distance travel.At this time, there were some imported motorcycles in the country.

In the early 80s, four major Japanese motorcycle brands entered the domestic market in large numbers.

Suzuki TR125 is one of the best. Once it was unveiled, it became the sales champion in China with its beautiful and exquisite workmanship, durable and excellent performance, and comfortable driving feel.

It can be said that the Suzuki TR125 can be called an Internet celebrity in the past, a classic of a generation, and a very representative car.When it first arrived in my country, the price was 4600 yuan, and eventually it rose to 12000 yuan.This was the best two-stroke motorcycle of its era!
The exhaust sounds of several popular motorcycles at that time had obvious characteristics. The Suzuki 125 had a dripping sound, the Honda CG125 had a buzzing sound, and the gl145 had a huge roar.

In this era, riding a TR125, so powerful and showy, feels much more majestic than driving a Lamborghini LP740 in later generations.

Li Yunhai asked about the price: "How to sell this motorcycle?" A saleswoman with long hair smiled and said: "Comrade, this car is imported and costs 5700 yuan."

The price of this motorcycle is already higher than when it first entered the country!

Li Yunhai asked if there was any discount?
The saleswoman smiled and shook her head and said there is no discount, but she can give you four bicycle coupons.

Li Yunhai laughed and said, I already bought a motorcycle, why would you give me a bicycle coupon for it?

The saleswoman said you can buy bicycles for your family!It can also be transferred to relatives and friends in need.

She just told Li Yunhai bluntly: You can sell it on the black market for money.

Li Yunhai thought for a while and asked: "Can you give me a few more gas tickets? Although you don't need tickets to buy a motorcycle, you need gas tickets to refuel!"

The saleswoman said yes, if you buy a motorcycle, we can give you a few more gas coupons, and our cars now have gasoline and engine oil, so you can ride it directly after buying it.Comrade, do you want to buy it?

Li Yunhai stopped teasing her and turned around to leave.

The saleswoman looked at his back and lightly stamped her foot: "After asking so many questions, I don't want to buy it!"

A salesperson with short hair next to him laughed and said: "It's 5700 yuan! Do you think anyone can afford it? Our monthly salary is only 38 yuan, plus performance bonus, we only get 56 yuan. It takes ten years." He can only afford this motorcycle with his salary! How old is he? Unless his family is very rich, how will he get the money to buy a motorcycle?"

The long-haired man smiled helplessly: "That's right! If you buy a motorcycle, half a million yuan will be lost. But this car is really majestic to ride on! If anyone buys this car, ask me to go out to the park to see it. Movie, I definitely agree!”

The two were chatting and laughing non-stop.

Suddenly, the handsome young man just now left and returned.

Li Yunhai went to the bank and withdrew money to buy a motorcycle.

"Comrade, I bought this car." Li Yunhai opened his briefcase and took out six bundles of brand-new automobiles.

Each bundle is 1000 yuan.

Six bundles equals six thousand!

Li Yunhai counted out 300 yuan and handed the remaining money to the long hair salesman.

The salesperson showed a bright smile, her white teeth seemed to be shining brightly, and took Li Yunhai to the mall cashier to issue a ticket and pay.

"Comrade, what do you do for a living?" the salesperson's tone was particularly gentle.

Li Yunhai waved his hand and smiled proudly: "Me? Self-employed! I do repairs."

The salesperson was surprised, looked at him for a few times, shook his head and said, "Ah, I didn't notice, you look like a cadre! You bought a motorcycle so you can drive your girlfriend out on the street. You don't have a girlfriend yet, right?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "What's the matter? When you buy a motorcycle here, do you also give it to your girlfriend? If so, can I take one with you on the spot?"

The salesperson blushed and covered her mouth with laughter.

Li Yunhai saw the spring in her brows and eyes, and couldn't help but calm down, stopped joking, and said: "Comrade, I have a girlfriend! If you give it to me, I don't need it anymore!"

The salesperson suddenly looked disappointed.

Li Yunhai completed the formalities.

The mall gave him four bicycle tickets and ten gas tickets.

Each gas stamp has 12 large and small faces, which totals 133 liters of gasoline. Ten of them equals 1330 liters of gasoline!
These gas coupons are enough for Li Yunhai.

The salesperson also said that if you run out of gas stamps, you can go to the mall to buy them.

After Li Yunhai completed the formalities, he found a rope, tied the tricycle behind the motorcycle, and rode the motorcycle back to the store.

The salesperson looked at his tall and straight back and let out a faint sigh. I wonder which lucky little girl could sit behind that handsome Suzuki TR125, hug his waist and press against his back?
