Ning Xiyue was not worried about Datou and Erhua. There was no need to talk to them. She could just go and tell them and it would 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 tycoons.
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 the time in this summer vacation, we can make several trips back and forth.
Well, Li Quan can be retained as a client as a backup. The top priority now is to find Datou and Erhua.
Ning Xiyue said something to Chen Yechu and the others, then took 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 the 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 up 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, I'll help you."
Ning Qingyuan squatted down and helped him fix the antenna, saying as he did so:
"Big Head Brother, your antenna is missing one thing, a lightning rod. If you don't install a lightning rod, your TV will definitely get struck when you watch it in rainy and thundery weather."
When Datou heard this, he became anxious and asked quickly, "Brother, what do you think we should do? Can you help me build one? I have the materials in my house."
"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 so good at this. Not bad. From now on, you will be the one making the antenna for the TV we buy."
Ning Xiyue stood by with great interest, watching her second brother demonstrate his strengths and skillfully dismantle and rebuild the antenna.
Ning Qingyuan said confidently, "That's no problem. I know how to make antennas. They're definitely better than the ones sold out there."
Erhua's eyes flickered when she heard his words, 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 know how to make antennas, it's a great skill to make money. More and more people are buying TVs in Beijing these days, so antennas are selling very well. You don't get an antenna for free when you buy a TV; you have to buy one yourself. You don't know, but now I sell antennas for thirty-one, and that's a lot of money."
"What? Thirty-one? This thing is so expensive?" Ning Qingyuan looked at Erhua in surprise.
It's no wonder he was surprised. He really couldn't believe that such a thing would cost so much.
This is too profitable. He knows that such an antenna costs 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 nowadays. Plus, if you buy a TV, you have to buy an antenna. If you don't buy an antenna, the TV will be wasted. I have to buy one no matter how expensive it is."
Ning Xiyue nodded in agreement. It was indeed true. For people who bought a TV, an antenna was a necessity.
Datou came out with something and heard the conversation and said:
"Brother Qingyuan, this is called the power of knowledge. Who among us roughnecks 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 disassembling is the one I bought from an electrician for twenty dollars. It's true that cheap goods don't get good ones. Luckily you came today, otherwise if my TV had been struck by lightning, I would have suffered a huge loss."
Erhua struck while the iron was hot: "So, brother, hurry up and do it. I'll see the results 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 quickly."
Ning Qingyuan worked hard to make the antenna, his heart full of faith in making money. If this succeeded, it would be a highly profitable business.
The three of them surrounded Ning Qingyuan as an antenna, and Ning Xiyue talked about the main purpose of the day. 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're really short of stock. You've arrived just in time. You and your sister are our saviors today. Then when can we go pick up the stock?"
Ning Xiyue smiled and said cheerfully, "Anytime is fine, depending on what my two brothers arrange."
Da Zhuang immediately made the decision: "Okay, today is the best day, let's go today. After Brother Qingyuan finishes here, we can go over and check out the goods, okay?"
"Can."
Now that things were 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 could make money.
Not long after, Ning Qingyuan raised his head excitedly and handed the finished T-shaped antenna to Dazhuang.
"Brother, it's done. Go find a dry bamboo pole to stand it up. Let's see how the signal reception on TV works."
Dazhuang 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."
Da Zhuang looked at the antenna in front of him and found 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 of breaking it."
"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 hand. He also took 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 bamboo pole a few times, and found a good direction to receive the signal.
Ning Qingyuan shouted to them, "Brother Dazhuang, you can turn on the TV now."
Da Zhuang 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 blank.
She pointed at the TV and said excitedly, "There's a picture, very clear. Second brother, you can come back now."
