Wang Zhaozhao followed behind Wang Sibing, feeling a little confused.
They came to buy a TV, but not from a department store or some independent TV shop, but from...
She looked around and found it was in a wooded area outside the county.
"Fourth Uncle, is this an electrical appliance fair?"
There was a banner hanging in front, and some televisions were placed there like a market.
Before Wang Sibing could answer, Wang Zhaozhao's eyes widened. "Fourth Uncle, this isn't illegal, is it?"
Otherwise, why in the woods on the outskirts of the county?
Even if you want to do it outdoors, can't you find an open space in the city?
"What are you thinking about?" Wang Sibing turned around and glanced at her with amusement.
But with just a glance, seeing the surrounding environment... well, it's no wonder his eldest niece misunderstood.
cough!
Wang Sibing coughed dryly, "This is Lao Hua, who had dinner with me the other day. He went to the south to see if there were any opportunities... Opening factories is popular there now.
Later, I met a friend who had a batch of televisions with some problems, and I was tempted.
He was recommended to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, but after getting assigned a job and having some problems, he came back.
He likes to tinker with things. When radios became popular, he bought one. Not only could he put it together after taking it apart, but he could also fix any problem with it. He even fixed a broken tractor after a few tries.
Ahem! I'm getting off topic.
Anyway, he knew that his friend had a TV with some problems, so he got itchy.
I persuaded my friend to get me one, and then I took it apart completely. When he reassembled it, I probably understood it..."
After hearing this, Wang Zhaozhao could probably guess what would happen next.
Hua Yihui, the rough-looking man, was a bold man. He didn't think about opening a factory first, but simply took the money and bought the batch of televisions.
Television is a luxury for ordinary working-class families.
A worker's monthly salary is about 30-80 yuan, and a TV costs at least 400 or 500 yuan. An ordinary worker needs to save for at least a year without eating or drinking.
This is a black and white TV. I want to buy a color one...
By the standards of that era, an average worker would have to save for ten years.
If you buy defective products, you may only get a little more money than selling them as scrap. You can repair them and sell them at a discount on the original price. There is no need to worry about sales.
Although Wang Zhaozhao admired Hua Yihui for his ability and courage and thought he deserved the money, he still asked, "Is it okay to sell it like this? Are there any procedures required?"
"You just remember whether this is illegal or not, right?"
Wang Sibing couldn't help but poke Wang Zhaozhao on the forehead.
Wang Zhaozhao chuckled.
Of course, what if it is illegal and something goes wrong after you buy it, the seller is investigated, and the police come to their house and take the TV away?
The most important thing is, will people who are shopping also go in?
Wang Sibing: “……!”
"Then why do you think he brought it to Tsukiyama County to sell?"
"He's from here, does he have connections here?"
"Yes, then he won't be able to complete the necessary procedures?"
"So why are you in this woods?"
Wang Zhaozhao felt that his worries were justified. Who in his right mind would sell televisions in a forest in the suburbs?
What I mean is that these days, people of average or better means at least have a bicycle.
For people like her and her fourth uncle, how can they take the things they buy back?
She is a grown-up girl now, and it is not appropriate for her to sit in the front seat of her uncle's car. So should she sit in the back seat and hold the TV?
Even the smallest one, 12 inches, was too big for her to hold.
However, Wang Zhaozhao didn't think that there was no electricity in the woods and he couldn't test the quality of the TV.
The people who come here are all friends and acquaintances, and they may bring some friends with them... Most of them know Hua Yihui's background and are not afraid that he will sell bad goods.
"I'm curious about this too...this is just romance." Wang Sibing didn't blame Wang Zhaozhao for asking so many questions. When he heard about it on the first day of the new year, he also had a lot of question marks on his mind.
Wang Zhaozhao looked around, not understanding. "What kind of romance is this?"
"It's not time yet. I heard they've invited people to play the piano or something, and prepared some food and drinks... I heard they learned this from some foreigners."
“……!”
Wang Zhaozhao opened his mouth so wide that he couldn't close it for a long time, and his jaw dropped.
Well, that Uncle Hua really knows how to have fun.
"What size do you want?" Wang Sibing ignored her surprise and got down to business. "Book it in advance and find someone to register first. Don't go too late and the size you want is sold out."
“The bigger it is, the more expensive it will be.”
"14 inches is a bit small." said Wang Sibing.
Wang Zhaozhao understood. She didn’t want a 14-inch one, and a 12-inch one was even worse.
Today's televisions come in 12-inch, 14-inch, 16-inch, and 18-inch sizes.
"Generally, people buy 12-inch and 14-inch ones. Are the technologies of these two sizes better?" Wang Zhaozhao thought of Comrade Xie Ailian at home and decided to struggle a little.
"The technology is definitely the same, the only difference is the price. Won't that mean there will be discounts? You might be able to buy an 18-inch TV for about the same price as a 14-inch TV at a department store."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhaozhao stopped talking.
Grandma, I tried to get it, but what Fourth Uncle said makes a lot of sense.
"Then let's not walk around here slowly, let's go look at the 18-inch ones." There are many 12-inch and 14-inch ones on the market, and this must be the case here too. It's better to order the 18-inch ones as soon as possible, what if they are really sold out?
It’s true!
There are only eight 18-inch models.
