Chen Xia bought a lot of TVs, refrigerators and washing machines here at one time. In addition to bringing goods to others, the rest were for resale.

Unfortunately, the largest color TVs at that time were only 18 inches, which was too small from the perspective of a modern person like Chen Xia.

In the past, the LCD TVs in the living room were all 70 inches. People with larger living rooms directly used projectors and paired them with home audio systems, which was so cool.

Another thing you cannot miss when you come to Hong Kong is electronic watches and computers. These little gadgets are sold by weight in Hong Kong, which is not an exaggeration.

Of course Chen Xia went on a shopping spree. In Hong Kong, an electronic watch costs about HK$4, which is about RMB 1.5.

But if such electronic watches are brought to the mainland, you can just find a few scalpers to help sell them, and they can sell each watch for more than 20 yuan. Isn’t that a profit of more than 10 times the profit?

When others purchase goods from Shenzhen, the cost is already several times higher, but Chen Xia buys goods directly from Hong Kong, and the price is simply dirt cheap.

There are also tape recorders, Hong Kong and Taiwan pop song tapes, sunglasses, etc., which are indispensable. Small items sell better and faster, and the combined profits are definitely not less than those of large appliances.

The top stars of Hong Kong at that time were Sam Hui, Roman Tam, Teresa Teng, George Lam, Adam Cheng, Jenny Tseng, Tony Yip and so on.

The later generation of Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui had just made their debut, and when Chen Xia was flipping through the newspaper, there was already a lot of gossip about these stars.

The Four Heavenly Kings that readers are familiar with are still the little brothers. After the rivalry between Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung, it was the era of the Four Heavenly Kings and Beyond.

As a post-80s generation in his previous life, Chen Xia was not familiar with the songs of people like Sam Hui, but he was very familiar with the songs of Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung, and he would order them every time he went to KTV.

Especially Leslie Cheung's songs, Chen Xia is his fan, and he can sing songs like "Silence is Golden", "Spend Time Together", "When Love Is Past" and so on.

He would sing all the famous pop songs that became popular in Hong Kong at that time. If it was an entertainment novel, he could have someone write it into music score and become a master in the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

Unfortunately, this is a "pseudo-medical novel" and the entertainment industry can only read it.

Chen Xia even had a very obscene thought that if he ever entered the entertainment industry, he would definitely keep Li Lizhen, his beloved in his previous life, as his mistress and would not let her become a generation of porn star.

Unfortunately, he was not so lucky. He met 16-year-old Li Lizhen while walking on the street. If he had really met her, he would definitely... ask her to come to "Caiyunzhinan" to work.

He is not Huang Yulang, he is worse than a beast.

(Whether Chen Xia is a beast or not, only he knows it in his heart, and the author does not know it either.)

In addition, the clothes produced by my aunt's family are absolutely indispensable, such as floral shirts, bell-bottom pants, bat shirts, and thunderbolt costumes. These clothes are very common in Hong Kong, but they are definitely high-end "fashionable" goods in the mainland.

What did the coolest people in mainland China look like in the early 1980s? Please describe them.

A young man with permed hair, big sideburns, a small mustache, a pair of frog-eye glasses, a plaid shirt on the upper body, and bell-bottom pants on the lower body.

That wasn't enough, he also carried a tape recorder on his shoulder, playing disco electronic music.

"Dear little sister, please don't cry. Wherever your home is, I will take you back. Dear little sister, please don't cry. I will use my love to warm your heart."

In the eyes of young people, such people are the most handsome guys on the whole street. Of course, in the eyes of intellectuals and the elderly, such people are standard gangsters, and they will tell their daughters to stay away from such people.

Chen Xia could already foresee that after he brought back so many Hong Kong goods, a buying spree would definitely begin, and he would be able to make a fortune again.

What? Chen Xia was planning to open a jewelry store, and someone running a pharmaceutical factory would care about such small amounts of money? He had no sense of purpose at all.

But have you ever thought that building a laboratory for drug research and creating a modern drug production factory is not a matter of hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, but a large project worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

He was worried about where so much money would come from.

These days the government doesn't provide private loans, so private lending, private equity funds, trust companies, asset management companies, P2P platforms, and other capital activities simply don't work in the mainland.

In the end, Chen Xia bought several air conditioners. This kind of desktop air conditioner is a rare commodity in the mainland, and it is rarely seen even in Friendship Stores. It can only cool but not heat.

In 1982, it was estimated that there were only a few of them left in the entire Yuezhou area.

At that time, let alone air conditioning, if a family had an electric fan at home, they would be considered a wealthy family.

In the summer, most citizens can only draw buckets of well water and then wash them on the floor to cool down their houses through this physical method.

Without a refrigerator, people would soak watermelons or beer in well water and wait until the evening after get off work for the whole family to enjoy them. It can be said that the well during this period served as half a refrigerator.

In the evening, the whole family went out with palm-leaf fans to enjoy the cool air. They couldn't stay at home at all. The bungalow was very stuffy and hot after being exposed to the sun all day.

Every midnight, parents in every household would fan their children constantly, otherwise the children would not be able to sleep well the whole night.

This also leads to couples being unwilling to make love on hot days because it is too hot. They sweat all over when they move, and it is sticky and very uncomfortable.

Since Chen Xia decided to work in the new People's Hospital in Yuezhou City, buying a house in the city was a certainty.

For the sake of my married life with Gu Lin and for the sake of our future baby, I must buy this air conditioner.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is really unbearable to go from extravagance to frugality. Isn’t there a catchphrase among people in 2020?

"We owe our lives to Willis Carrier."

Willis Carrier is the inventor of air conditioning. Who can live without air conditioning in the summer? If they do, they will die.

Chen Xia is also a "modern man". There is no reason why he cannot enjoy air conditioning after being reborn, especially if he has the opportunity but doesn't enjoy it. Isn't that stupid?

Through this day's crazy shopping, he was just trying to live a modern life. It's so sad to talk about it.

Oh, and don’t forget the fat house happy water at the end.

Coca-Cola was sold in mainland China in the early 1980s, but Chen Xia couldn't find it. Perhaps it was only available in high-end hotels with foreign connections? At a few yuan a bottle, it was out of reach for ordinary people.

Chen Xia bought hundreds of them this time; they were his all-time favorites. If he had to choose between Li Lizhen and Coke, he'd definitely go for iced Coke.

In his previous life, he couldn't live without cola all year round, and he only drank Pepsi. Later, for the sake of his health, his wife insisted that he could only drink sugar-free cola.

Others would have a cup of tea when they went to the clinic, but he would have a bottle of Coke. Whether in the office or at home, they were placed everywhere, so he could just reach out and get it.

Ahem, Chen Xia wants to reiterate one point to all readers: Coca-Cola killing sperm is a rumor! Coca-Cola killing sperm is a rumor! Coca-Cola killing sperm is a rumor!

Important things should be said three times.
