Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 5 Sourcing Components
"Okay!" Duan Yun's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he replied simply.

In fact, when Duan Yungang graduated from college in his previous life, he also worked as a technician in a large locomotive factory. Although he was engaged in technical work, he also played with ordinary lathes. Although his level was not as good as those of the top-notch old workers, he was still able to rely on his skills. Mind and hands-on ability, become a qualified turner in a short period of time is completely out of the question.

"That's it." Zhao Dongsheng still had a smile on his face, and said to Duan Yun: "I'll give you a day off today, you can go back and have a good rest, and wait for me at the door of the first workshop after going to work tomorrow morning. Make arrangements."

"Thank you, Secretary Zhao!" Duan Yun said with gratitude.

"Okay, you can go."

Zhao Dongsheng waved his hand, and Duan Yun immediately got up and left the office.

"Secretary, this... is this the end?" Seeing Duan Yun leaving, Yang Zhigang looked at Zhao Dongsheng in confusion.

"Duan Yun was poisoned yesterday. It's not appropriate for him to do heavy work today. It's better to take an extra day off for insurance." Zhao Dongsheng said, and was about to get up and leave.

"No... I mean, is it suitable for Duan Yun to transfer to a workshop? He didn't give up on the female worker in that workshop. What if that kid is on the clock..." Yang Zhigang obviously couldn't understand the secretary. arrange.

"I arranged for Duan Yun to work the night shift this month, and the two of them can't meet each other." Yang Zhigang smiled slightly, and then said: "Besides, the most savvy apprentice in our factory will need at least three months to independently control the lathe. Do you think it will take a month. Is it enough for him to learn technology? Will he have to go back to work with you obediently?"

"Uh." Yang Zhigang was stunned when he heard the words, and then looked at Secretary Zhao with a little more admiration in his eyes.

Secretary Zhao is good at tricks and calculations, and is well known in the factory. He handled this matter properly in a few words, which really convinced Yang Zhigang.

"Young man, sometimes he doesn't know how much he weighs without hitting his head and bleeding..." Zhao Dongsheng said, putting his hands behind his back and leaving the office...

……

Duan Yun, who was given a day off by the secretary, left the factory at this time and went straight to the bus stop at the entrance of the factory, preparing to go to the city.

There was nothing to do when he got home anyway, so Duan Yun wanted to take this opportunity to learn about the current environment.

In the impression of the previous life, Daxing City is a fourth-tier city in Shanxi. Although it is known as the coal capital, its economic structure is single, the income of residents is not high, and its GDP has always been in the lower reaches of the country.

As the saying goes, coal is successful and coal is defeated. Due to some policies and man-made reasons, in the late 90s, except for a few large coal mines, all other real enterprises were almost wiped out.

However, in 82, Daxing City was still quite impressive. It was one of the first nineteen 'larger cities' in the country. In addition to coal mines, there were also many heavy and light industrial enterprises. city ​​of.

In addition, it is also very close to the capital, and it takes less than 10 hours to take the green train. You must know that the speed of the train at that time was 40-60 kilometers per hour.

After getting on the bus, Duan Yun had already appeared outside the west gate of the city after half an hour.

At that time, the most prosperous Daxing City was undoubtedly the Hongqi Square outside the West Gate. It was the only place with traffic lights in the city. The largest state-owned store, Daxing City Department Store, was also located here.

Although it has been less than a month since he entered the factory, Duan Yun still has some money in his pocket.

After going to the countryside for six years, after returning to his hometown, Duan Yun received a compensation fee of 320 yuan for returning home, which is quite a fortune in this year.

Most of them, Duan Yun handed in 200 yuan to his mother to keep, while he kept 100 yuan under his pillow, planning to have a date with that He Xiaoli, and the money has now become a starting point for Duan Yun’s business. funds.

Yesterday, Duan Yun promised his sister to help her modify the radio at home, so Duan Yun planned to buy some electronic components and maintenance tools.

Electrical repairing is a relatively popular business these days. With Duan Yun's ability, repairing electrical equipment in this era is simply overkill, but this is also the safest way to make money that Duan Yun can think of now. After all, doing business these days The bad thing is that they will be attacked by the government as speculation, and the electrician who repairs the electrical appliances will be ignored.

The first floor of the department store sells clothing and various household goods, and on the second floor there are counters for electronic instruments and originals.

After Duan Yun came to the counter on the second floor, he was immediately attracted by the dazzling array of electronic components on the counter.

The counters in this area are mainly engaged in electronic components, multimeters, oscilloscopes, watt-hour meters and other electronic and industrial measuring instruments, as well as various small components such as resistance diodes.

Many of the items in the counter are products from Shanghai and BJ, and some are produced by local manufacturers in Daxing, and the prices are much cheaper.

Duan Yun first picked a multimeter and asked the waiter to take it out from the counter to try it out.

This is a 500-type multimeter made in Shanghai, and it feels a bit bulky in the hand.

Although the craftsmanship of this year’s things is a bit rough and rustic, the materials used are absolutely solid. As long as they are genuine products from major manufacturers, they can be used for many years without any problems.

After testing it with a few small resistors and it felt okay, Duan Yun bought it for five yuan.

Then Duan Yun chose a 45W electric soldering iron with a wooden handle for three dollars, one piece of solder for each plate, and a roll of 0.1-diameter enameled wire, which was used to modify the radio at home.

But when Duan Yun was about to buy some electronic components such as resistors and diodes, he couldn't help but sigh.

一只2AP1正品要7，8毛，业余品3毛多，3AX31要五毛钱，3AX 81则需要八毛到一元钱……

Perhaps in the eyes of future generations, this price is not expensive, but you must know that nowadays, even a profitable unit like the Red Star Gear Factory earns more than one yuan a day, and it is impossible to buy a few components!

Although Duan Yun still has 90 yuan in his pocket, he also knows that if he doesn't buy things carefully, his pocket will be as clean as his butt in no time!

Electrical repairs also need to calculate the cost, and in addition to the radio, Duan Yun also plans to repair other large electrical appliances such as TV sets, which will require a lot of components.

"Comrade, can you take a step to speak?" At this moment, a young man in a green military uniform leaned over and said to Duan Yun.

"Do I know you?" Duan Yun suddenly became vigilant in the face of this sudden stranger.
