Era: Start as a buyer

Chapter 168 Borrowing money to buy a bicycle

It was a hot day, and the whole front yard smelled bad, and the smell also drifted from the backyard. In this era, doors were all made of wood, and the doors were not very well sealed, so everyone at home could smell the stench.

The most serious problem was at the home of Wu Kaishan and Mrs. Liu. From time to time, some feces flowed from the roof of the front house. But the sun is also good, it will dry in half an hour, and you don’t have to worry about feces falling in front of the door.

"Look at what you did, we also smell bad."

"I'll go to the factory later and ask someone to take the fish away. I'll separate the fish and order them. Even if our family bought it ourselves, Qian, you take the swallows outside for a walk in the afternoon. When you come back later, the yard will definitely be It’s clean. We’re here, and those people might even ask us to clean it up together.”

When Luo Cheng said this, Zhao Qian and Luo Yan naturally obeyed. It is really possible that the front yard will call on everyone to clean up the excrement.

Zhao Qian and Luo Yan immediately helped Luo Cheng pack their things, and then left with the money and some bills. Zhao Qian saw Luo Yan coming to the city for a rare occasion and wanted to take her to a movie, but she didn't know if there would be any movies to watch this afternoon. But even if you just go out for a walk, it's better than being bored at home every day.

Luo Cheng gave the watch to Zhao Qian and asked her to take some time to go home. If he is busy in the afternoon, he will arrange for someone to come to his house around five o'clock to take away the fish. If he wasn't busy, he would go to the factory and bring people over by himself. Luo Cheng took some tea with him when he left, which was very popular in the factory.

Now Luo Cheng is familiar with some departments in the factory. In fact, the logistics department also has a handling team, which is responsible for loading, unloading and moving things in the factory. The staff of the transportation department are not in the office building, but there is a small room in the warehouse where the staff are. As a member of the Procurement Section of the Logistics Department, Luo Cheng actually had to ask people to carry things to the factory. He could just go there and ask people there.

This is not an order from superiors and subordinates. It is the responsibility of the moving team to move things, as long as the things belong to the factory. Anyone who needs to move can go to the department over there and call for help.

But the things Luo Cheng brought were all food and needed to be processed. For more than 100 kilograms, it was more appropriate to ask someone from the canteen to get it. For example, when Zhou Lin comes to the factory to make charcoal in the cold weather, he goes directly to greet the people in the transportation team.

It was relatively early when we arrived at the factory. Luo Cheng didn't stay at home too long to avoid the smell. So when I came to the factory, Section Chief Li from the Human Resources Department had just finished his meal and was smoking and reading a newspaper.

Luo Cheng has a cigarette in his pocket, a good cigarette with a holder. Luo Cheng didn't really learn to smoke cigarettes. He just pretended to smoke without inhaling it into his lungs. But even so, Luo Cheng felt that when smoking, he could break up the tension and liven up the atmosphere of the conversation.

It was already early August when we came back this time. According to what happened last time, Luo Cheng and Section Chief Li went there to give gifts. It is said that many skilled workers are transferred to the north at the beginning of the month, and there should be a high chance of getting bicycles at the beginning of the month.

When Section Chief Li saw Luo Cheng coming, he directly asked him to go outside to talk. Luo Cheng wanted to ask him about the bicycle, and Section Chief Li also wanted to talk to him about that matter when he saw Luo Cheng.

The bicycles have something to look forward to, and there's even more than one. There are two bicycles, one new and one old. One has been ridden for almost three years, and the other has not arrived after a year. The price also varies greatly. One that is almost three years old will cost 100 yuan. And the one that's less than a year old costs one hundred and fifty yuan.

A new bicycle only costs 1,670 and 150, which is no cheaper than a new one. But it was well maintained, and it was bought at the end of last year. It was only a little over half a year old, and it was almost as good as new. After all, this price saves you a bicycle ticket.

At such a price, there is basically no room for bargaining. If it is cheaper, the car owner will sell it to an acquaintance. Selling an acquaintance's car for 100 yuan might cost 60 to 70 yuan. Now, because of the director's face, he didn't immediately deal with it to an acquaintance, because he wanted to sell it for more money.

"I've looked at the cars for you. The frames of both cars are okay. But the one that has been ridden for a long time looks like the tires are almost worn out. If you change the tires, you won't save much money. ”

Section Chief Li said that bicycle tires these days are not cheap and are all imported. If you replace both the front and rear tires, it will cost more than 20 yuan. But what Luo Cheng actually doesn’t care about are tires. All he needs is a legal bicycle in his own era. As for the bike book, steel stamps, and tires, he had to replace them before and after he brought the bike to the future era, and it only cost a few dozen yuan.

"Chief Li, I just started working. As long as the frame is good, I still want to buy a cheaper one."

"Luo Cheng, if you are short of money, you can go to the Finance Department to make an advance payment. Didn't I tell you that if there are special circumstances, you can make an advance payment of three months' salary from the Finance Department. Buying a bicycle is also considered a special situation. If it is really not enough , I can lend you some more. It’s better to buy a better bike.”

"Okay, Chief Li, how much can you lend me."

"How much do you want to borrow?"

"The more, the merrier."

"You kid, how can you borrow money like this? Let's do this, I'll lend you fifty, and you can figure out the rest by yourself."

"Today I brought a lot of fish from the town's reservoir, and I will arrange for someone to pick it up from my house later. I kept a lot for myself. Section Chief, do you want to eat fish? There are also rabbits, which can be used to pay off the loan."

"I'll give you as much as you want."

"The fish this time are quite big. Since you borrowed so much money, two big fish and two rabbits are worth ten yuan. You can choose the size you want."

"Okay, you're welcome then. I'll definitely pick the bigger one."

Section Chief Li said with a smile that as the head of the personnel department in a factory, his salary is not low, but the benefits are just that. If Luo Cheng didn't make enough, he would have to leave his family to improve the food. But now Luo Cheng asked him to take away the two big fish and two rabbits, and he could keep them as a favor.

When it comes to bicycles, Luo Ben originally wanted to buy them cheaply. In the future, he could save dozens of dollars by replacing a few tires. But think about it and forget it. It’s boring to have to find excuses to explain too many problems for a few dozen dollars.

The bicycle matter has been settled with Section Chief Li. Section Chief Li will go to the director tonight and try to make an appointment with the car seller to make an early transaction. The director gave me gifts when I first contacted him, and this time I had to give him some tea. Last time, Luo Cheng promised to get some tea for the director. Luo Cheng asked Section Chief Li to help him get a box for tea. When he went to his house in the evening, he would naturally distribute some tea to Section Chief Li.

After discussing the matter with Section Chief Li, Luo Cheng went to the logistics department to find Director Sun. Regarding bicycles, Luo Cheng is very much looking forward to owning a bicycle in his own time.

When we arrived at Director Sun's side, Director Sun actually fell asleep sitting on the chair. Luo Cheng couldn't help but wake up Director Sun, so he found some old newspapers in the office to read and waited for Director Sun to wake up.
