Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 43

"The electronic components of this antenna are all imported from RB. They are advanced, and some parts can only be purchased with foreign exchange coupons." Li Yun's mother's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and she continued: "If the entire antenna is imported as original, at least A hundred and dozens of dollars..."

The rhetoric promoted by Li Yun's mother was actually taught to him by Duan Yun at the dinner table last night.

Selling products is also a knowledge. Duan Yun needs to use Li Yun's mother to open up sales channels for his antenna in the factory area. Naturally, the two need to have a good publicity caliber in advance.

With the continuous increase of economic and trade exchanges between China and Japan during the reform and opening up, a large number of RB electrical equipment has entered the domestic market, and the advertisements of companies such as Toshiba, Panasonic, Hitachi, etc. are even more overwhelming, which also makes the Chinese people who have just opened their doors to the outside world and have been in a closed state. Saw the gorgeous coat of capitalism.

The RB products of that era had an excellent reputation in the eyes of the Chinese people. Whether it was household appliances or other supplies, they were far higher than domestic products by several grades, so that many RB products were even myths of word of mouth, but in a word, advanced, exquisite and durable It has almost become the unanimous evaluation and impression of Chinese people on RB products.

In addition, worshipping foreigners and foreigners was the general mentality of many Chinese people at that time, and "the moon in foreign countries is relatively round" is a true portrayal of this inferiority mentality.

Although the antenna made by Duan Yun is based on what he studied in his previous life in college, the technology is far more advanced than the current antenna, but if Duan Yun said that this antenna is made by domestic components, it will undoubtedly reduce a lot of products. 's grade.

But if Duan Yun's antenna is labeled as 'Japanese goods', 'imported' and 'high-tech', the same thing, but in the eyes of many Chinese people, it will go up several grades, and the price will naturally be higher. Not a lot.

There is also the use of imported electrical appliances in this era is also a very face-saving thing!
As for the question of whether Duan Yun's antenna is imported, on the one hand, there are not many people who understand electronic technology these days, and there are very few Hongxing factories. On the other hand, Duan Yun has made anti-piracy for this antenna. The double-layer circuit board, unless it is dismantled and scrapped, it is impossible to see whether the components are imported from the appearance.

The most important thing is that the current domestic antenna can only receive two channels in Daxing. An antenna like Duan Yun can receive six channels, and its performance is greatly crushed. In the eyes of many people these days, it is only imported products. It just makes sense!
"So expensive!?"

As soon as Li Yun's mother finished speaking, the two colleagues suddenly looked surprised.

"Good things can't be cheap. Imported things are like this, but you get what you get for every penny." Li Yun's mother had long expected this kind of reaction from her colleagues, so she continued: "Actually, this antenna in my house is not The original RB is only assembled with RB components, so it is much cheaper, and it cost 75 yuan!"

Li Yun's mother took the opportunity to lift the low price Duan Yun gave him...

"75 yuan? That's okay..."

The two female colleagues looked relieved when they heard this.

Although 75 yuan an antenna is still a bit outrageous in this year, it is almost half the price of 120 yuan just now, so the two of them instantly felt that it was not as unacceptable as before.

"Actually, I was a little unacceptable when I heard so much money, but after I bought it, I felt it was worth it. My family used to receive two TV sets, and now I can receive six TV sets at once. Does it mean that you bought two more TVs?" Li Yun's mother deliberately changed the concept.

"Well, it's really worth it to say that." The short woman nodded and said.

"Speaking of which, I saw the chief engineer's wife some time ago. The clothes she wears are so gorgeous, and the way she speaks is so arrogant. She told me how good the antennas their family bought from the south, and I went to her house. I glanced at it, that is, the image was counted, but it's actually nothing..." The tall woman's eyes were obviously a little resentful.

"That's right!" The short woman also interjected: "The chief worker's wife is really arrogant, and when I greet her, people usually ignore it..."

"Can a family like ours be compared with the people's total workers' family?" Li Yun's mother pouted and continued: "Everyone's TVs are [-]-inch Panasonic brand, and a few of us can watch a [-]-inch domestic TV... But now the screen is a little smaller, but it's quite comfortable to watch more shows, people, sometimes it's good to be content."

"Hehe, Sister Li's remarks sound clear and bright, people really have to learn to be content in life." The tall woman replied with a smile, and after a while she asked: "By the way, Sister Li, where did you buy this antenna in your house? ?"

"My family's antenna was brought by my family from the mining bureau. There is a worker in our factory who will install it. If you want to install it, I will ask my old man to talk to his friend." Li Yun's mother followed her opinion. He said to Duan Yun in a good tone.

The Mining Bureau is at least an hour's drive away from the gear factory, and no one would go there to inquire about it.

"Then... can it be cheaper?" the short woman couldn't help asking.

"The price of 75 is already the cheapest. This is due to the fact that my old man is the chief of the supply and marketing section. They only give us a cost price for the sake of asking for something. Even if they are at the Mining Bureau, they want to make such an antenna. No one will sell it for 90 yuan!" Li Yun's mother said with a raised eyebrow.

"Then I'll go back and think about it..." The short woman was obviously hesitant. After all, 75 yuan is not a small amount.

"I also have to go home and discuss it with my family."

"It's okay, no one's money comes from strong winds. Buying such an expensive imported antenna is a big deal. It should be summed up." Li Yun's mother smiled and continued: "But if you want to buy it, give it to me as soon as possible. A word, after all, this is my family's trustee to do things, and over time, they may not take care of this problem..."

"Well, I'll discuss it with my man when I go back," said the tall woman.

"Sister Li, can I watch this episode of "Volleyball Girls" at your house first?" The short woman stared at the screen and said with an apologetic smile.

"Just look at it! You are so polite when you come to my house!" Li Yun's mother blushed and said to her daughter next to her, "Xiaoyun, go wash some apples for Auntie..."

……

At night, Duan Yun rides a bicycle and goes to the night shift with dim street lights.

After putting on his clothes, he went to the station. Like yesterday, he first processed a few parts by hand.

Take the squad leader Huang Haitao to look in front of his lathe, and chat with him by the way.

After talking with the secretary in the morning, Huang Haitao's attitude towards Duan Yun was a little better. After Duan Yun took out a large front door and threw it to him, Huang Haitao settled down and turned around to leave.

For Huang Haitao, since the secretary has already told Duan Yun to 'be kind' to Duan Yun, he naturally won't take the time to make things difficult for a young apprentice who just started his job. It is better to sit in the dispatch room and drink tea and read newspapers when he has time. As long as this kid has no signs of being emotionally disturbed, he will be too lazy to deal with it...
