Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 17
"Master, your skills are so good, I'm stupid, and I won't be able to learn it in a short time." Duan Yun said with a frown.

At first, Duan Yun wanted to become an apprentice as soon as possible, and then carry out his next lathe technical transformation plan.

But after that night, he changed his mind.

If you only have technology, it is not enough to make some tricks in this factory. Networking and relationships are equally important.

Duan Yun has no family or reason in this factory, and if he can't find anyone to help, his plans will be difficult.

If Han Zhong hadn't come forward tonight, even if Duan Yun handed him a cigarette, those old masters might not even look at him. The willingness to help this time was entirely out of master Han Zhong's face.

Another point is that Duan Yun is not seen by the workshop director and other leaders, and if Han Zhong is there, he can at least speak for himself. With Han Zhong covering him, Duan Yun will save a lot of trouble.

As for the promise with the workshop director and the secretary to master the technique of independently operating lathes for one month, Duan Yun is naturally confident. After all, he has already been able to operate lathes in his previous life. Although he is not as good as a skilled old worker, his level is absolutely necessary. It is much stronger than the general apprentices who have just entered the factory, and can fully achieve the ability to operate the machine tool independently!
Although Duan Yun had to be an apprentice for a month, within this month, Duan Yun was able to do a lot of things in the name of his master, at least he could talk to a few masters in other workshops. .

"You said you were stupid?" Han Zhong turned his head and glanced at Duan Yun, and said, "Being able to independently understand the lathe structure and modification drawings, even the vast majority of the eighth-level veteran lathes in the factory can't do it. !"

"Then the drawing and the actual operation of the lathe are completely different things... I guess your skills are enough for me to learn for several years..." Duan Yun said with a smirk.

"Let me tell you clearly, you don't expect me to last long." Han Zhong clearly saw Duan Yun's thoughts, and continued, "I have already said hello to the leader, and I will take a leave of absence next week to return to my hometown. If it's not good, I won't be able to go to work in the workshop..."

"What!?" Duan Yun was taken aback when he heard the words.

It's already Wednesday, minus one Sunday, which means that Han Zhong can stay in this factory for three days at most!This undoubtedly disappointed Duan Yun.

"You are my apprentice. Before leaving, I will greet my old colleagues and leaders so that they can take care of you as much as possible," Han Zhong said.

"Thank you master!"

Although Han Zhong's words have already been mentioned for this sake, he also understands that even if Han Zhong greets those old masters, there will definitely be people going for tea at that time, and Duan Yun can only rely on himself in the end.

But no matter what, Han Zhong was able to lead him to get acquainted with those masters tonight, which was a big help to him.

"I'll be off work in less than two hours..." Han Zhong glanced at the Shanghai watch on his wrist and said, "Look carefully at how I operate. In the future, this lathe will be yours to use."

"Yeah." Duan Yun replied, then stood aside, studying seriously...

When it was time to get off work, Duan Yun changed his clothes. When he just walked out of the door of the workshop, when he saw the crowd coming over from the early shift, his eyes suddenly froze.

It turned out that in the crowd, Duan Yun saw the female worker named He Xiaoli at a glance with the memory of his predecessor.

He Xiaoli in the crowd was quite fair-looking, with delicate facial features and a tall stature, which was pleasing to the eye.

But in Duan Yun's view, this He Xiaoli is just like that, and she doesn't feel anything about such a girl at all.

Seeing He Xiaoli getting closer and closer with the morning shift crowd, Duan Yun immediately left the workshop door through another path...

……

After returning home, Duan Yun started to sleep after eating the breakfast left by his mother.

He didn't open his eyes until after his sister came back at noon.

"Brother." Duan Fang saw that her brother had sat up, and immediately dumped the pocket radio in a bag on his bed.

"A lot." Duan Yun's eyes lit up when he saw the radio scattered on the bed.

For Duan Yun now, seeing the radio is like seeing banknotes, and the original sleepiness was instantly swept away.

"Some of my classmates' radios are too big to bring to school, so they left me an address. In addition, some of my classmates have other electrical appliances that need to be repaired. If you have time on weekends and Sundays, brother, you can come to help them. Take a look." Duan Fang said, took out a folded piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Duan Yun.

"So many!" Duan Yun looked surprised after seeing the densely packed home addresses above.

What Duan Yun didn't know was that in fact, in the Hongxing Gear Factory, many employees and families were faced with the dilemma of difficult maintenance.

The electrical repairers in the factory area are basically master electricians from some factories. However, these people are mainly engaged in strong electricity work in the unit, and the level of weak electricity is limited. Simple electrical repairs are no problem, but they encounter some complex electrical appliances. On, such as black and white TV sets, the latest radio recorders and the like, there is no way to do anything, and can only find after-sales repairs from the manufacturer.

But it is very troublesome to bring electrical appliances into the city to repair, and if the repairmen of those manufacturers don’t put money in privately, they will not repair it at all, and even the TV set can’t be repaired for ten days and a half months, even if it is repaired this time. , it doesn't take long to go back and the problem occurs again, which is absolutely miserable!

So this time, many parents of students heard that Duan Yun knew about radio maintenance, so they invited Duan Yun to do repairs with the mentality of giving it a try. Anyway, they only paid for repairs. In addition, they all lived in the same factory area, and it was convenient to connect with each other. .

For Duan Yun, this is undoubtedly a very good opportunity to promote his technology and word of mouth.

In his opinion, as long as his reputation goes out, he doesn't need to spread it too far. The repair of home appliances in this factory area alone is enough to make Duan Yun a lot of money!
"Brother, do you really know how to repair a TV recorder?" Duan Fang was obviously worried that her brother's skills were not high enough to do so much business.

"Your brother and I are very skilled. Even if the ship and the plane are placed in front of me, I can still repair it!" Duan Yun said with a smile.

"You can really brag!" Duan Fang grimaced at her brother, but then smiled.

In any case, the radios that Duan Yun modified before were indeed very successful, and her classmates were full of praise for her brother's skills, which made her a little sister proud.

"It is estimated that if all these lists are completed, our family can buy bicycles." Duan Yun roughly counted the number of home addresses on the paper and the types of electrical appliances repaired, and said after thinking for a while.

"Buy a bicycle!?" Duan Fang was startled when she heard the words.

Catching up with the Red Star Gear Factory in recent years, the benefits have been good. Most of the dual workers in the factory already have bicycles, and some even have one for each person, while Duan Yun's family does not have one.

"We will have one for each of us in the future!" Duan Yun raised his brows and said.

"Brother, you are making some money now, but you can't spend it randomly..." Duan Fang was a little worried when she heard the words. After all, she was a girl who had received a traditional family education and lived a hard life. In this case, no amount of wealth can be destroyed!

"Why is it called a chaotic flower?" Duan Yun disagreed, and then said: "Many of your classmates have bicycles, right? Do you want to watch our mother go to work every day and walk so far? Watch your brother and I go to each house. I broke my leg when I repaired electrical appliances? Do you know what time is money? With the time to walk back and forth, how many more appliances can I repair? How much more can I make? clear?"

"That's not what I meant..." Now Duan Fang found that her bickering was no longer her brother's opponent, she just heard her shriveled mouth say: "Our home is so close to the school, it's very convenient for me to walk to school every day, and I don't need a bicycle. …”

"Okay, you don't have to worry about this, your brother and I have my own arrangements." Duan Yun smiled at his sister, folded the paper with the address, and stuffed it under his pillow. Time to visit one by one.

As for buying a bicycle, at least you have to wait until the repair business at hand is completed and you get the money before you can buy it.

Now the permanent bicycle on the market costs about 150 yuan, and the Phoenix bicycle for women costs nearly 200 yuan.

In addition, bicycles are a scarce commodity in this era and must be purchased with tickets.

Generally speaking, industrial vouchers for the purchase of bicycles are issued monthly by state-owned enterprises according to the time and level of workers entering the factory. For example, in the Red Star Gear Factory, ordinary workers can buy one industrial voucher every month, and only ten can buy a bicycle.

But some of them already have bicycles or have no money to buy a car at home. They will sell the industrial coupons in their hands, which are about [-] to [-] yuan. That is to say, if you have money, you can spend more money. purchased directly.

Duan Yun urgently needs a bicycle now. With a bicycle, it will be much more convenient for him to go to the city to buy electronic components and give you door-to-door maintenance in the future.

After having lunch with his sister, Duan Yun picked up the pocket radios that his sister sent to repair today and went to his rental room.

Duan Yun is becoming more and more proficient in refitting techniques now, the rented house is full of rosin, and by dinner time, he has already refitted more than 20 pocket radios that his sister sent last night and today at noon!

This means that Duan Yun earned more than 100 yuan in one afternoon!
But Duan Yun also knows that the business of modifying radios will not last long, and he will need to find a more profitable business in the future...

……

In the evening, when Duan went home for dinner, he found that his mother looked a little wrong.

The three sat at the dinner table, and their mother, Gao Xiuzhi, hardly said a word, with a look of disappointment on her face from time to time.

Seeing this scene, Duan Yun understood. Nine times out of ten, today's mother helped him go to He Xiaoli's house to talk about marriage.

And it's [-]% never negotiated...
