Chapter 100 Chapter 100 Getting a Bargain
"Hello? Hello!" The person on the other end of the line heard the beeping sound after the call was hung up, and angrily slammed the microphone into the microphone slot, cursing in a low voice, "Bah! You are so stubborn. Why do you have to buy from Fan Xiaorong? We are from the same factory, so you can get the same discount by buying from me!"
On the other end, Zhao Ruyue called Fan Xiaorong's aunt again.
Sure enough, Fan Xiaorong's aunt had never heard her mention anything about the branch factory.
"The house she rented is just above my house. We see each other almost every day. If she was really transferred to a branch factory, we would know about it. She is working the night shift today. When she comes back, I will ask her what happened and ask her to call you then."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Zhao Ruyue hung up the phone and thought: There really is something fishy going on. Fan Xiaorong is clearly in the factory, but the person who answered the phone lied to her.
Could it be that the person who answered the phone had a conflict with Fan Xiaorong?
But Zhao Ruyue still couldn't understand, even if there was a conflict between them, what good would it be in lying to her?
The person who answered the phone would not forget that as long as Fan Xiaorong was still in the factory, even if he couldn't contact her today, he would be able to contact her another day by other means, right?
Anyway, there is no need to rush to send something to my cousin.
Zhao Ruyue hung up the phone and got in the car to go home.
When I got home, I found that my home was a little different.
"You installed the phone so quickly?" She looked around the phone in surprise and asked, "Is it usable now?"
"Sure. When I went to the business office to ask, I heard them say that it only cost a little over 1,000 yuan to install a phone. I thought it was a good deal, so I paid. I didn't expect that the efficiency is so high now. They can install it on the same day. How long did I wait for the one installed in the old house? About a month?"
"Less than a month, but not by a few days. Maybe there was no business hall in the town at that time, so the county sent people to install it, so it was slow?"
Ning Shaoming said: "It's been so many years, I can't remember clearly."
Zhao Ruyue picked up the phone and wanted to call Fan Xiaorong's aunt and tell them her home phone number.
But then I thought it was already so late and he might have to go to work the next day, so I didn't call.
"I met with Ruyu today and we have agreed on the house. She will bring her husband with us to sign the contract and pay the money. I think she has helped us a lot in the past, so we can't let her make a wasted trip this time. We should at least give her something to show our appreciation."
Ning Shaoming also agreed with her words: "That's right, what do you think is a suitable gift?"
Zhao Ruyue told him what happened in class: "Giving away PHS is fashionable and practical. You and I should buy one too, and tell them we have a discount. Then we can buy one for them. When they see that we have one, they won't refuse. That way, we can give them the gift. But I also want to buy one for myself. Mobile phones are more convenient."
"If we had known that PHS was so cheap, could we have done without installing a landline?" Ning Shaoming now feels that the telephones were installed too quickly.
Could it be that the people at the business hall know that the county can use Xiaolingtong, which will affect the utilization rate of fixed-line telephones in the future, so the efficiency is so high?
"Now that it's installed, don't think about whether it's cost-effective or not. The more you think about it, the more you gamble, which is not good for your health. Think positively. After we buy a house and an oven, and open a store in the county town, when we have some extra money, we can buy a computer. When the landline phone is no longer needed, we can use it to dial up the computer to the Internet."
To be honest, Zhao Ruyue has been eyeing this small business for a long time.
It only costs five dollars to download ten songs. It is impossible for someone to buy an MP3 player and only download ten songs.
Although the Internet speed is relatively slow now, she can download popular songs, movies and TV series to a USB flash drive in advance, and then copy it to other people's devices at an unimaginable speed.
Once they earn back the money they spent on the computer, it will be like a no-cost business, and their children can all learn how to operate it.
Considering the backwardness of their small town, Zhao Ruyue felt that this business could probably last for ten to eight years.
Zhao Ruyue thought so and said so to Ning Shaoming.
Ning Shaoming is different from her. He doesn't know much about this thing. When he listened to her description, he felt confused.
Zhao Ruyue talked for a long time, and he said: "I don't quite understand."
She choked and hit him a few times: "I'll go to Xinhua Bookstore someday and buy some books about computers and show them to you."
"I might as well buy a few cookbooks instead of those."
"Don't give me that. This is a mandatory order. You must watch it. Otherwise, you won't be able to use the computer in the future. I and a few other kids are chatting with people online, and no one is paying attention to you. You can just watch from the side!"
When she said that, Ning Shaoming became anxious and felt that he could read any book.
Even if he didn't know much about computers, he had heard that there was a network on the computer that could be used to chat with people from all over the world.
What if someone shameless seduces his wife? The sense of crisis made Ning Shaoming decide to study hard, preferably better than his wife.
However, this is destined to be impossible.
Zhao Ruyue bought them as she said, and went to Xinhua Bookstore the next day, buying several computer-related books and bringing them back.
While Ning Shaoming was still reading slowly and laboriously, she was reading very quickly.
Zhao Ruyue felt that she could learn many things at a glance, and she even thought about installing a computer herself to avoid being cheated and save some money for her family.
She rarely had such confidence before, perhaps because her daughter at home often praised her very directly and generously, and always looked at her with admiration.
It may also be that the systematic study in the night school strengthened her foundation.
Now Zhao Ruyue felt like she had stepped off a drifting boat and walked onto the shore, with her feet on solid ground. She was no longer frivolous, which made her unconsciously gain more confidence in herself.
Moreover, when the two of them privately competed to see who understood the books better, Zhao Ruyue always won.
Although Zhao Ruyue felt that she was bullying Ning Shaoming by relying on her knowledge of computers from her previous life, she felt a little guilty.
Because Ning Shaoming's grades were better than hers when he was in school, and her performance was too poor.
But on second thought, bullying your own husband is not a big deal.
She turned around and put this guilty feeling behind her.
The two were reading a book when the grandson of the store owner came running over and called her, "Aunt Ruyue, there's a call for you!"
"Coming..." Zhao Ruyue responded loudly, put down the book and stood up, "It should be Xiaorong calling. I'll go tell her our home number and we'll talk at home later."
This time she wanted to ask about the Xiaolingtong. If she told him at the convenience store, she would inevitably be asked a lot of questions.
Although she knew how to deal with those aunts and grandmas, she always felt it was a waste of time and energy to waste them.
Zhao Ruyue came back within a few minutes of going out. The news about her family installing a telephone yesterday had probably spread all over the town before the installation was completed, so no one asked her about it today.
She quickly reached home, and Ning Shaoming pointed to the phone at home and said to her, "It's Xiao Fan's phone."
Zhao Ruyue walked over quickly, picked up the phone, and said half complaining and half helplessly: "Before hanging up, didn't I tell you not to call me over there, just wait for me to call you, inter-provincial calls are too expensive, and it's not easy for a little girl like you to make money. Our lives are much better now than before."
Fan Xiaorong smiled and said, "I can't always let you spend money, not to mention that I have something I want to ask you and your brother-in-law for help this time."
Zhao Ruyue: "Tell me what it is, I'll do my best to help if I can."
"Sister, why don't you tell me what you want to talk to me about? I haven't actually thought about that matter myself yet." She said it in advance just to change the subject and prevent Zhao Ruyue from hanging up and calling again.
"Okay, my question is simple. I just want to ask you, how much does a PHS cost in Yangcheng? In my hometown, I have to go to the city to buy one. My teacher told me that a PHS in the city costs 700 to 800 yuan, and it comes with free phone credits."
"That sounds like a good deal. It's about the same here in Yangcheng. And if you buy a PHS, you have to get a phone card to get free calls. If you buy it in Yangcheng, you won't get the free calls if you don't get a phone card. If you get a phone card and bring it back, it will be cross-provincial roaming, and the calls will be very expensive."
Zhao Ruyue understood that she had taken it for granted and neglected the issue of whether mobile phone cards and subsequent recharges could be made across provinces.
She herself didn't know when the ban on cross-provincial phone recharges was lifted, so it would be more convenient to buy the phone directly in the city.
"I understand. Let's go to the city to buy it some other day. We can also buy the TV at the same time."
"TVs are not expensive here. Plasma TVs are popular now, which are more expensive. The lowest price is 7,000 to 8,000 yuan, and the highest is 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. The price of ordinary color TVs has dropped a lot. A few days ago, I went to the electronics mall with my coworkers. The lowest price of a 21-inch color TV was only a few hundred yuan. The more famous brands can cost more than 1,000 or 2,000 yuan."
"It seems that the price of TVs has really come down. The price in the county is only slightly higher than that in Guangzhou. It's not as high as the price of MP3 players, where the price has doubled."
When Zhao Ruyue decided to go to the city to buy a PHS, she also bought a TV.
"By the way, yesterday I called the canteen in your factory dormitory area, and the person who answered the phone didn't seem to be the same person who answered the phone before. I asked her if you were working the night shift, and she lied to me that you were not in the factory, but were sent to the branch factory to train new people. Is someone targeting you over there?
If someone really bullies you, don't keep it to yourself. There are so many factories in Yangcheng, and working anywhere is not the same as working. At worst, you can just change jobs. ”
When Fan Xiaorong was tripped up by someone, she felt upset and wanted to cry but she gritted her teeth and held on without showing it, because she was worried that others would see through it and look down on her and think that she was easy to bully.
Now that someone cared about her, she couldn't hold back her tears.
Hearing her sobbing, Zhao Ruyue hurriedly comforted her, "If you are not happy there, you can come back. Your brother-in-law is planning to open a branch in the county, and you can come back to help out at the branch.
You don't have to worry too much about being met by your father and stepmother in the county town. Now that you have grown up, your height and appearance have changed. I'm afraid that if you walk past them, they may not recognize you.
And since you stopped sending money back, your father and your stepmother can’t go to the county town once a year.
Of course, the salary in my hometown county is definitely not as high as in Guangzhou. ”
Her comfort finally made Fan Xiaorong feel less sad.
She wiped her tears and said, "Sister, actually, the thing I want to ask you for help with may be related to that person."
Zhao Ruyue: "Just tell me what you want to say. Even if you haven't made up your mind, it doesn't mean you can't change your mind after you say it out loud."
"We didn't open a branch factory, but we opened a sales point in the city center of Guangzhou. We wanted to select a few people to be salesmen, responsible for selling our own brand of MP3. Originally, this had nothing to do with me, I was just an assembly line worker.
But last time I bought you an MP3 and sent it back to you, I don’t know how someone spread the word that someone in my hometown wanted to purchase a batch of MP3s and specifically came to me privately to buy samples. Don’t you think this is outrageous? Why would you only want one sample? You should order more, right?
The key is that the leader actually believed it and included me in the reference list of salesmen. He also told me that if I had sales channels in my hometown, he would let me take a quota and work at the sales point in the city center. ”
After listening to this, Zhao Ruyue asked, "Are the MP3 players of your factory's own brand unsalable?"
Fan Xiaorong recalled the earnest look on her face when her leader asked her to talk to him, and also the time when she inadvertently saw her leader sighing.
She said: "It seems that it is a bit difficult to sell. There are many small brands like this here, and the competition is very fierce. Our factory is relatively large. There are also some small factories, which can't even be called factories, but are small workshops. The price is cheaper, but the quality is not good. After all, our factory is also an OEM for some well-known brands."
From Fan Xiaorong's words, Zhao Ruyue could tell that she had a good impression of this factory and even had a sense of belonging.
Fan Xiaorong continued on the phone: "Our leader said that whoever can sell a thousand MP3 players in a month can become a salesperson, and everyone in the factory can compete for the job.
Originally, I felt that I had no experience as a salesperson, so I didn’t really want to change jobs. I just wanted to work steadily in the factory and earn money. When I saved enough money, I could buy a small house for myself, so that I would at least have a home.
But some people actually treat me as a competitor, always trying to find my mistakes and drive me away.
When I was working in the workshop, she would complain a few words whenever I reported that I needed to go to the toilet. I was so angry that I wanted to fight back. A while ago, I really sold 200 MP3s and more than 100 MP4s. ”
Zhao Ruyue was speechless after hearing this: "So she got anxious? She thought I was your sales channel connection in your hometown?"
"Yes, she was always trying to get my information, asking for your contact information, and even trying to steal the letter you wrote to me. Fortunately, the factory security guard was quite responsible. He knew it was my letter, so he didn't let her take it away.
The people who answered the phone at the convenience store were not very nice before, but I found out today that they are actually from the same hometown!
I guess the two of them had colluded with each other. When they saw the call was from my hometown, they let that person answer it. They wanted to get your name and contact information. Fortunately, you were alert. ”
After talking for a long time, Fan Xiaorong finally prepared herself mentally.
He spoke a little embarrassedly, saying that he wanted Zhao Ruyue to help him: "She is targeting me, and I don't accept it. I want to compete for that position and squeeze her out, but I still have more than 600 units to complete...
I was thinking, could I send you the money I saved, and then borrow some money from you to buy 700 MP3 players from the factory in your name?
I may have to trouble you to help sell it in my hometown, but there is no need to rush. You can sell it slowly as long as you can get your money back. ”
She felt that her request was too difficult and was worried that Zhao Ruyue would be angry and stop contacting her, so she had been considering whether to tell Zhao Ruyue.
Little did she know, those words sounded to Zhao Ruyue as if they were saying: Sister, I want to give you money, I will even pay for it with my own money!
The pie came flying at Zhao Ruyue from above, almost knocking her unconscious.
After quickly calming down, Zhao Ruyue thought about it carefully.
The purchasing channel is available, and it is a very reliable channel: direct supply from the manufacturer, with no middlemen making a profit from the price difference.
After-sales service is not difficult. She will learn it this semester and then buy some simple maintenance equipment by herself.
She would collect a few broken MP3 and MP4 players and repair them herself to practice. Once she got familiar with the repair part, she would be able to do it herself.
From sales to after-sales maintenance, she can even take care of it all herself.
And after a while, maybe she will be able to assemble computers and even download music and videos for customers!
If she doesn't seize this opportunity, she will look down on herself!
On the phone, Fan Xiaorong lowered her voice for fear that someone might hear her words.
He whispered about his savings: "I have been working here for less than a year, and the money I have saved is not much, only 10,000 yuan at most, which is not even enough for the deposit of 700 MP3 players. I may need to borrow more from you..."
Deposit?
Zhao Ruyue's eyes lit up, and she felt that she really couldn't think straight before.
They also have little experience in doing business. When they go to purchase goods from wholesale stores, they usually check that the goods are fine and then pay the full amount to the wholesaler.
Neither she nor Ning Shaoming had ever considered that they didn't need to pay for the goods immediately.
If they buy goods from a certain wholesaler regularly, the wholesaler may be willing to give her the goods in advance in order to stabilize her customer base and settle the payment at the end of the year.
In fact, many people do this, it’s just that the couple are too honest.
No wonder wholesalers’ faces almost break with laughter every time they see them purchasing goods. It must be difficult for wholesalers to collect debts at the end of the year.
After thinking it over quickly, Zhao Ruyue interrupted Fan Xiaorong decisively: "No need to send it to me."
"What?" Fan Xiaorong didn't react.
Zhao Ruyue repeated, "You don't need to send me your savings. Keep it for emergencies. I will pay for the purchase of goods myself.
From now on, I will officially become your real sales channel contact in my hometown, but now am I your retailer or channel partner? Well, never mind. Anyway, I need you to make a request to your leader. ”
Her identity changed so quickly that Fan Xiaorong was stunned for a long time. After she digested her words, her brain finally reacted.
Thinking that Zhao Ruyue was paying for her sake, she hurriedly said, "Sister, you don't have to..."
"Yes, even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. I can't take advantage of you. You have to listen to me from now on, otherwise I will be angry!" Zhao Ruyue said deliberately.
Fan Xiaorong quickly said, "Sister, don't be angry, I will listen to you."
Zhao Ruyue: "That's right, you don't have to worry that I spent money to buy goods for you. In fact, I decided to buy goods for myself, and it doesn't cost that much to order MP3s."
"Ah? But I've calculated that for 700 MP3 players, the factory price is only 68 yuan per unit, so the total price is more than 47,000 yuan. Add the shipping fee, and it's 48,000 yuan. The factory requires at least half of the payment as a deposit, which is nearly 25,000 yuan."
Zhao Ruyue couldn't help laughing after hearing her words. This silly girl just blurted out the lowest price all at once.
"You don't need that much. Ten thousand is enough. When you hang up the phone, go find your boss and tell him I want to buy 600 MP3 players and 100 MP4 players. I want you to pay a 20% deposit before you get the goods. After you get the goods, you need to pay another 30%. I will pay all the money before the next purchase."
"Is this really possible?"
"When you talk to your boss, be careful and don't just say that someone wants to buy goods from you. You can say that they finally convinced me to buy from your factory.
To be a little more exaggerated, I will say how big my business is here and how many stores I have. This time I am just trying to purchase the first batch of goods and then go back to try to sell them. If the cooperation is pleasant, I will definitely purchase more in the future. The salesmen from other factories are contacting me. If your factory does not agree to my request, it won’t be a trouble to turn to other companies. ”
Even though Fan Xiaorong knew that she was just making an analogy, she couldn't help but get nervous, as if she was afraid that the client would run away.
"Then I'll give it a try and call you back if it works."
"Okay, don't be too nervous, and don't put too much pressure on yourself. Anyway, if this thing can be done, it will be done. If it can't be done, you can still do it according to what you said before. There are always more solutions than problems."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Ruyue couldn't wait to tell Ning Shaoming about this.
Ning Shaoming was a little surprised, but when he thought carefully about how popular MP3 was locally, he felt very happy.
If they can really negotiate a 20% deposit, then 10,000 yuan is about one month's profit for the store, so they can still afford it.
They had reserved 50,000 yuan for buying a house in the relocation area. The housing prices in that area were very low. They were not greedy and were also worried that Zhang Yanjun would reveal the matter to them, so they did not intend to take the opportunity to make any big moves in the relocation area.
I just plan to look at the houses of people who have moved to other places and don't plan to come back. It would be even better if I could meet someone who has gone abroad and will never come back.
If they can't find a suitable house in the demolition area, they would rather not buy it.
However, the four rooms must be taken over as soon as possible and renovated in a hurry, otherwise it might delay Zhao Ruyue's sales.
Fortunately, Zhao Ruyu's speed is faster than Fan Xiaorong's.
Perhaps there has never been such a precedent on Fan Xiaorong's side, or perhaps they feel that her side is too far away and that collecting only a 20% deposit is too risky, so this request has not been negotiated. Fan Xiaorong is currently trying hard to negotiate this matter with her leader.
After Zhao Ruyu confirmed that Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming were still willing to buy the four rooms, he explained Zhao Ruyue's requirements to the two brothers and was unwilling to increase the price by even a cent.
They may feel that if they look for other buyers, it may be difficult to find one who can pay the full amount in one go and pay so quickly.
It is also possible that he received some news and wanted to sell these four houses as soon as possible, get the money, and then buy a house in the demolition area.
In short, they quickly agreed to Zhao Ruyue's request and quickly agreed on the time and place of the transaction.
The meeting was quite awkward for both parties, but it did not affect the transaction. They signed the contract, handed over the money and the key, and took their documents with them. They went to handle the transfer procedures that day.
The other party had some connections and the procedures were completed very quickly. Zhao Ruyue got the house ownership certificate with her own name on it that same day.
When she left the service hall, she still felt a sense of unreality.
"Is that it?"
Ning Shaoming followed her and nodded with a smile: "It's done, you're not dreaming."
They now have a house in the county town, but he himself felt like he was dreaming.
After returning home, Ning Shaoming cooked a large table of dishes, and the children asked what holiday it was.
Zhao Ruyue didn’t want too many people to know about her family’s purchase of a house for the time being, so she didn’t even tell her own children.
She just made up an excuse, saying that today was the anniversary of her and Ning Shaoming's relationship, and that she didn't have the conditions before, but now that she had them, she decided to celebrate, and she got the matter over with.
Zhao Ruyue felt that it was better to give her cousin a gift as a thank you as soon as possible. After dinner and before going to school, she discussed with Ning Shaoming that she wanted to go to the city as soon as possible.
"Do you think Xiaochun can handle himself now? If he still can't, why don't we just close the shop and take a day off when we go to the city?"
This time going to the city is different from going to the county town. Going to the county town means we can set off in the afternoon when it is not so busy.
This time they were not taking their children out to play, but to visit all the places in the city that sold televisions and PHS and compare prices.
So they had to go early in the morning to have enough time to go shopping, and come back early in the afternoon so that Zhao Ruyue could go to class on time in the evening.
Ning Shaoming said: "I think he is good enough. He does a good job in the store, but he doesn't have confidence in himself. He is always worried that customers will criticize him if he makes mistakes. When I am not around, there are many customers and he might get nervous and panic. I still have to push him."
"Then we'll go to the city the day after tomorrow. Will the store be open as usual?"
Ning Shaoming nodded: "Once we open a store in the county, I can't run back and forth. I have to let him try to handle the kitchen affairs independently. If he can stick with it this time, how about we give him a raise?"
Zhao Ruyue said, "Sure. Danping can help out in the store full-time during the summer vacation. Xiaochun's salary has increased, so Danping's salary can also increase a little. The child wants to go to a technical secondary school, but my sister-in-law wants her to work and earn money for the family."
Ning Shaoming: "We can only help a little bit, we can't give more."
After confirming the time to go to the city, Zhao Ruyue went back to her parents' home and talked to her family about the TV.
Zhao Ruyue complained: "Guangwei was bullied several times, and you didn't tell me. Was Siyun bullied too? I think they are not as lively as before."
"They are both not young anymore. They are grown up and mature, so of course they are not as lively as they were when they were young," her brother said innocently. "You are so busy every day, how can we bother you with such a small matter? It's just a fight between children, it's not serious."
"How come it's not serious? I've never seen other kids fighting with others like this. Bullying is bullying," Zhao Ruyue pulled her nephew and niece to sit next to her. "Tell your aunt, is it because the kid next door bullied you that you don't want to go out to play anymore?"
The two children nodded pitifully with tears in their eyes.
Zhao Siyun is thirteen years old and will go to junior high school next semester.
Seeing that her aunt was willing to support her, she told her aunt what she didn't dare to tell the adults at home: "The older sister of the boy next door is in the third grade of the town's junior high school. When she came back from vacation, she said that when I go to junior high school in September this year, she will definitely give me a hard time. I heard that her town's junior high school is very powerful and has many powerful people."
"What powerful, big shot? I think she has watched too many Young and Dangerous movies. The people she knows are just little hooligans from the town and nearby villages who are a few years older than you and who dropped out of school early to hang out outside learning to be Young and Dangerous.
It’s nothing serious. Don’t be afraid of her. The more you fear her, the more she will like to bully you. Wait until your aunt comes back from the city and I’ll think of a solution for you. ”
After Zhao Ruyue finished speaking, she was just about to ask her elder brother and sister-in-law if they wanted to go with her. After all, she had to buy a TV for their family, and she had to buy one they liked.
Before she could say anything, she saw her daughter coming in from outside on a skateboard like a gust of wind, stopping beside her, squeezing into her arms, pushing her cousins away.
Say loudly: "Mom, good news! Very good news!"
Zhao Ruyue couldn't help but ask, "What good news?"
"Today, my grandfather and I went to the recycling station to sell junk. We saw the owner buying back two TVs. My brother and I bought them and spent only 200 yuan. We made a killing!"
"There are only broken TVs in the recycling station, right?" Zhao Ruyue was not overwhelmed by this not-so-good news.
After they bought the TV, they felt like they had made a killing. The thing the recycling station owner was willing to sell them for 200 yuan was probably difficult to repair, so he probably also felt like he had made a killing.
Ning Shixia insisted that she and her brother had made a fortune: "Mom can fix it, and my brother said that we can save a lot of money if we fix it!"
Zhao Ruyue said with a smile: "But I haven't watched those two TVs yet, how do I know if I can repair them?"
"Oh, right." Ning Shixia scratched her head, but she felt that her mother knew how to repair everything...
But it doesn't matter if it can't be repaired: "The boss said that if it can't be repaired, we can still take it back to him, and he will return half of the money to us. If it can be repaired, it only costs 200 yuan to have two TVs. My brother thinks this is a good deal."
Zhao Ruyue shook her head helplessly: "Forget it, I've already bought it, I'll go back and see if I can fix it."
If it can't be repaired, I will return it and lose a hundred dollars. I can consider it as tuition for my two children, and let them understand that they should not always think about getting a big return with a small investment or getting a bargain in the future.
After Zhao Ruyue returned home, she saw the two big-butt TVs they bought and thought that it made sense for her daughter and son to spend two hundred yuan to buy them.
First of all, the appearance of these two TVs is quite new. They don’t look like they have been used for a long time and then broken beyond repair and sold to the recycling station.
She asked her son, "Did the owner of this TV recycling station tell me what the problem is?"
Ning Shiqiu nodded: "The owner of the recycling station said that the screen of this TV is broken and it would cost several hundred dollars to replace it. He thought that replacing the screen is too expensive, so he might as well buy a new one. So he sold this old TV and planned to replace it with a new one."
Zhao Ruyue asked Ning Shaoming to bring the inspection machine over and power up one of them.
After turning it on, you can hear the sound, but the screen does not display any image. There is also a line running across the middle of the screen, which does not look like a line caused by damage to the screen itself.
If Zhao Ruyue hadn't attended night school, she might not have known how to repair it.
But now she knew at a glance that with such a standard horizontal bright line, there was most likely a circuit fault on the TV.
Anyone who sells this TV to a recycling station will most likely encounter an unscrupulous repairman.
If there are no other problems with this TV, just re-solder the de-soldered parts of the circuit board.
Zhao Ruyue looked at the two children who were eagerly waiting for the result: "It seems that you really have encountered something good."
Ning Shixia cheered and pulled her brother to start dancing: "Great, la la la, la la la, we are experts in saving money!"
Ning Shiqiu had a look of disgust on his face, but he didn't shake off his sister's hand. As he danced, he gradually danced more vigorously than his sister.
She ignored their quarrel, briefly checked the other machine, and went to the small warehouse to get the toolbox.
Now her toolbox is much bigger than the small box before, and the tools in it are much richer than before.
Ning Shixia saw her mother wearing gloves and carrying a toolbox and thought she was extremely cool.
Like a puppy, he rushed to help turn on the brightest light in the main room, clenched his fist and shouted, "Come on, Mom!"
Zhao Ruyue touched her head with a smile, and turned around to see the father and son next to her also looking at her with sparkling eyes.
She wiped their heads with a helpless look before starting to work.
After Zhao Ruyue put down the toolbox, she opened the lid and took out the tools.
