Wan Feng was daydreaming when he suddenly remembered what Chen Dao said not long ago.

Chen Dao is right. If he puts electric motorcycles on the agenda now, he would really be not doing his job properly.

The Nanwan plant is currently producing small agricultural transport vehicles, AX100, and motorcycles. It is also researching 90CC engines and studying the imitation of those machine tools. Today, a loader project has been added.

If I make another electric motorcycle, Chen Dao might beat me.

In my previous life, I was good at everything, but how come I am still so perfect after rebirth? This must be changed.

Make one first and then draw the next one.

In this case, let’s put the electric motorcycle issue on hold for now and study it after the 90cc motorcycle comes out.

Then Comrade Luan Feng can only continue to ride her 70 motorcycle with grievance, but she must be reminded not to compete with cars when she has nothing to do.

There are thousands of cars going back and forth in Jiangwei every day. If you compete with them, you will be looking for trouble.

Of course, this didn't stop a few women from discussing the beautiful style of scooter he drew, and he joined in the discussion, since he had no plans to realize it anyway.

At noon, Wan Feng had lunch at the garment factory and then left Nandawan.

When passing by Xu Bin's small building, I saw a group of young men around seventeen or eighteen years old from Xiaoshutun gathered in front of Xu Bin's small building, discussing something with Xu Bin.

Wan Feng recognized the identities of these young men one by one.

These young men of similar age to Wan Feng were his playmates in his previous life. Wan Feng lived in Jiangwei until Wulu Township started to build a small town.

That was after 2000, when Wulu was developing into a small town. Wan Feng rented a shop in Wulu and started doing business and moved out of Jiangwei.

So far, Wan Feng and his former friends haven't had much interaction, which has a lot to do with the fact that he is away from home all year round.

Some of these guys have just graduated or just stopped studying. They haven’t found a job yet and are still in the state of wild beasts.

Wan Feng walked over and greeted these former friends one by one.

"Brother! You came at the right time. Come and see how the partition upstairs is doing." When Xu Bin saw Wan Feng coming, he pulled Wan Feng into the building to see his project.

"The partition is finished?"

"The masons worked all day yesterday on the partitions, and they just finished plastering them this morning."

Wan Feng followed Xu Bin up to the second floor.

The staircase of Xu Bin’s small building is located in the middle of the back wall, and the bathroom is at the same position as the staircase, which just divides the small building into two parts.

Now a partition wall has been built along the stairs and bathroom on both sides, and the plaster has just been applied and is not yet dry.

Once the wall plaster has dried, apply paint and the work is done.

Wan Feng nodded: "That's fine, we can open for business as soon as we turn on the heating."

The small building has its own homemade heating system, and Xu Bin's father knows how to operate the boiler, thanks to his part-time job as a boiler operator when he was working as a night watchman in a garment factory.

"I've already asked someone to buy the console board for you. It should be back in about ten days or half a month. Have you found someone to make the chassis?"

"We've already hired someone to build the basket and the pool table. It's just our team's father and son, Wang He."

Wang He and his father had made a wooden shell for a tape recorder for Wan Feng, so making a basket should be no problem.

"It will probably take a while for the game consoles and pool table to be ready, but you can set up the video room now. Just buy a color TV and a VCR and put them there first."

"I want to wait until my family moves here before I start using it. Otherwise, it will be very cold at night without a boiler."

"Haven't you already packed up the third floor? While there are so many people here, why not just find a car and move it in? It will be over in a few days."

"It's not the day yet. You have to look at the date when moving. It's still three or four days away."

Forget about this, you need to choose an auspicious day to move.

"Since you haven't moved yet, I'll go with you to buy a color TV and a VCR."

Xu Bin did not object to this.

In 1987, when individuals had not yet started running the home appliance business, the only way to buy these home appliances was to go to state-owned stores.

There is an appliance stall set up by Hongya Department Store in the Wahou Industrial Market, where you can buy televisions and VCRs.

Wan Feng brought Xu Bin and several young men from Xiaoshutun to the Wahou Industrial Market and walked into the home appliance dealership.

There are quite a lot of people here, but most of them are buying televisions and tape recorders.

The group of people who buy televisions are mainly local people nearby, but there are also merchants from other places who come to Wahou to buy goods.

When buying a television, you can buy all kinds of them.

Those who have money buy color TVs, and those who don’t have money buy black and white ones.

There are not many people like Wan Feng and Xu Bin who are running towards the video recorder.

A Japanese-made VCR costs more than 4,000 yuan, which is not something that ordinary people can afford.

There are only a few prototypes of video recorders on display here, including brands such as Panasonic, Hitachi, Sanyo, etc.

Wan Feng chose a Panasonic L15 video recorder, which cost 3,800 yuan and was much cheaper than the video recorder Zhang Shiqian brought him from the south two years ago.

After choosing the VCR, I spent more than 3,000 yuan to buy a 24-inch Panda brand color TV.

A 24-inch TV is the largest size currently available on the market, but it is still not enough to play videos.

The first generation of rear-projection TVs was born in Japan in the late 1980s, and it is still not seen in the Chinese market.

The size of rear projection TVs can reach 40 or 50 inches, but if they are not available on the market, they are useless.

Before the advent of rear-projection TVs, only color TVs were available.

But even with Xu Bin's current investment, he might not be able to buy it. That thing is much more expensive than a color TV, and it initially cost tens of thousands of yuan.

By the 1990s, rear projection TVs will appear on the market, and by then Xu Bin will have accumulated enough money and it won't be too late to invest again.

Anyway, video halls would continue to exist until the late 1990s when VCDs appeared, and then they would decline.

Having a VCR is useless without videotapes. Although videotapes are sold here, Wan Feng did not buy any here.

The videotapes in state-owned stores are too expensive, more than 80 yuan a copy.

The ones sold in the market are only over 30 yuan, the price difference is huge.

The group came to the market again and walked into a store specializing in audio and video products in the small appliance area.

This store was where Wan Feng sold tape recorders. When Wan Feng's small electronics factory moved to Nandawan, Wan Feng sold the store to a man named Yan Tao.

The store still mainly sells tape recorders and audio tapes, but starting this year it also sells video tapes.

Of course, they were all pirated. At this time, some people in the South had already begun to produce pirated videotapes using the most primitive methods.

It is to use machines to link one book to another to copy them one by one. This is how the earliest pirated videotapes were made.

Yan Tao's store has more than 30 varieties of videotapes, most of which are Hunan and Hong Kong martial arts films.

There is nothing much to choose from. I spent more than a thousand yuan on the same book.

They hired a three-wheeled truck to transport these things back to Xu Bin's house.
