Chapter 483 TV Antenna
Ning Xiyue is not worried about Datou and Erhua. There is no need to talk to them. Just go and tell them and it will be done.
The key is Li Quan.
Li Quan, the future real estate tycoon, made his fortune by selling home appliances and had close ties with black market bosses.
Ning Xiyue was wondering when she could go back to see Xiao Hui and find some time to chat with him.
The goods here can be delivered in the next few days at most. If we make full use of this summer vacation, we can make several trips back and forth.
Well, Li Quan can be retained as a client as a backup list. Now the priority is to find Datou and Erhua.
Ning Xiyue said something to Chen Yechu and others before taking her second brother to Datou's house.
Fortunately, Datou was at home, and Erhua was there too. The two were tinkering with the TV and installing an antenna in the yard.
"Hey, Big Head Brother, you bought a TV." Ning Qingyuan ran over quickly and walked around the TV in the yard.
"Sister Yue, come and sit down."
After Datou greeted Ning Xiyue, he saw Ning Qingyuan coming in and waved as if he saw a savior:
"Brother, you are a professional, come and help me check if the antenna is set correctly. I don't know why I can't receive any signal. I don't know if the antenna is broken or what."
"Give me the screwdriver and I'll help you fix it."
Ning Qingyuan squatted down and helped him fix the antenna, saying as he did so:
"Big Head Brother, your antenna is still missing something, a lightning rod. If you don't install a lightning rod, your TV will be struck by lightning when you watch it in rainy and thundering weather."
Datou got anxious when he heard this and asked quickly, "Brother, what do you think we should do? Can you help me build one? I have the materials in my room."
"Okay, go get it. It's very simple to install a lightning rod, and I can help you do it quickly." Ning Qingyuan continued to work on the antenna in his hand without even raising his head, focused and serious.
Datou asked Erhua to help pour tea while he went into the house to get tools and materials.
"Brother, I didn't expect you to be good at this. Not bad. From now on, you will be in charge of making the antenna for the TV we buy."
Ning Xiyue stood by with interest and watched her second brother use his strengths to skillfully dismantle and rebuild the antenna.
Ning Qingyuan said confidently: "That's no problem. I have the technology to make antennas. They must be better than those sold outside."
When Erhua heard his words, her eyes rolled and she had an idea. "Brother, I suddenly had an idea. Maybe we can do a business."
"What? Tell me." Ning Qingyuan raised his head and asked with interest.
Ning Xiyue had some guesses.
Erhua dragged the bench next to Ning Qingyuan and sat down and said.
"If you can make antennas, it's a great skill to make money. Now more and more people in Beijing are buying TVs, so antennas are selling very well. When you buy a TV, an antenna is not given away for free, you have to buy it yourself. You don't know that now the antenna is sold for thirty-one, which is very profitable."
"What? Thirty-one? This thing is so expensive?" Ning Qingyuan looked at Erhua in surprise.
No wonder he was surprised. He couldn't believe that such a thing would cost so much.
This is too profitable. He knows that the cost of such an antenna is only two or three dollars at most, or even less. He can make one in about an hour. It's a huge profit. It's too heartless.
Erhua didn't think it was expensive at all, and said as a matter of course:
"Technology, what you buy is technology. Technology is so valuable now. Besides, if you buy a TV, you must buy an antenna. If you don't buy an antenna, the TV will be wasted. You have to buy one no matter how expensive it is."
Ning Xiyue nodded in agreement. It was indeed true. For anyone who bought a TV, an antenna was a necessity.
Datou came out with something and heard the conversation and said:
"Brother Qingyuan, this is the power of knowledge. Who among us rough guys can make this? People without brains can't do it."
Big Head pointed at the antenna in Ning Qingyuan's hand and said in annoyance:
"The one you're dismantling is the one I bought from an electrician for twenty dollars. It's true that cheap goods are hard to come by. Fortunately, you came today, otherwise if my TV was struck by lightning, I would have suffered a huge loss."
Erhua strikes while the iron is hot: "So, brother, hurry up and do it. I'll see the effect and then we can discuss this antenna."
Ning Qingyuan was quite tempted. At thirty yuan each, he could make at least seven or eight a day. It would be money well spent.
Ning Qingyuan looked at Ning Xiyue inquiringly.
Ning Xiyue nodded silently, encouraging him to give it a try.
"Okay, I'll do it faster."
Ning Qingyuan worked hard on making the antenna, his heart full of faith in making money. If this succeeded, it would be a lucrative business.
The three of them surrounded Ning Qingyuan to form an antenna, and Ning Xiyue also talked about the main purpose of today's visit. As soon as she finished speaking, Datou agreed without hesitation.
Erhua slapped her thigh excitedly.
"Sister Yue, how much do you have left? Sell it all to us. We are short of goods. You came just in time. You two are our saviors today. Then when can we go to get the goods?"
Ning Xiyue smiled and said cheerfully, "Any time is fine, depending on the arrangements of the two brothers."
Datou immediately made the decision: "Okay, let's go today. When Brother Qingyuan is done, we can go over to check out the goods. How about that?"
"Can."
Now that things had been settled, Ning Xiyue felt relieved.
The three of them continued to watch Ning Qingyuan making the antenna in front of them attentively. Although they didn't understand it, it didn't stop them from being fascinated. After all, this was something that made money.
Not long after, Ning Qingyuan raised his head with excitement and handed the finished T-shaped antenna to Datou.
"Brother, it's done. Go find a dry bamboo pole to stand it up. Let's see how the signal reception on TV works."
Big Head held the antenna carefully.
Erhua immediately brought a thin bamboo pole from the side of the yard and handed it over: "Here is the bamboo pole."
Big Head looked at the antenna in front of him and found that it was much more exquisite than when he bought it. His hands and feet were a little restrained and he didn't dare to touch it casually. He handed the antenna back to Ning Qingyuan.
"Brother, you should tie it. I'm afraid it will break."
"Brother, it's not that fragile. If it's done well, it won't break easily. Just take it."
Ning Qingyuan explained with a smile and took the antenna back to his own hand. He also picked up the bamboo pole that Erhua had brought over and deftly began to tie the antenna to the top of the thick bamboo pole and fixed it in place.
I found an open space in the yard, inserted the bamboo pole, turned the pole a few times, and found a good direction to receive the signal.
Ning Qingyuan shouted at them: "Big Head Brother, you can turn on the TV now."
Big Head rubbed his hands excitedly and pressed the button to turn on the TV.
Erhua put her hand on the rotary knob of the tuning table and adjusted it.
Ning Xiyue stood in front of the TV and watched the screen go from pockmarked to black.
She pointed at the TV and said excitedly, "There's a picture, very clear. Second brother, you can come back now."
