Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 501 Sending someone to purchase
"This computer is a large calculator..." Duan Yun gestured to Zhao Changfeng, and then said: "It has a long keyboard, and a case, and the monitor is just like our 14-inch black and white TV. It was produced by IBM in the United States, and the price is about tens of thousands of yuan..."

"Tens of thousands?" Zhao Changfeng Wenyan was stunned in surprise. Even though he had some knowledge, he really couldn't think of any TV worth tens of thousands of yuan. Such a large sum of money was beyond his imagination. All yuan households can be on the honor roll. It takes several million yuan households to exchange for something like a TV. It is unimaginable.

"Well, I'll draw you a picture of the general shape of the computer. After you go to BJ, you can look for it according to this drawing." Duan Yun said, took out a piece of paper from his drawer, and used the The pen quickly drew a simple outline of the computer on it.

In fact, Duan Yun has never seen what a computer in the 80s looked like, but he had seen some pictures of old computers on the Internet before, which roughly consisted of a thick-looking keyboard and a small spherical display.

Duan Yun drew a simplified diagram of this computer in two or three strokes, and wrote "IBM Computer" on the bottom of the diagram, and then handed the diagram to Zhao Changfeng.

"Is this a computer?" Zhao Changfeng asked with interest after glancing at the blueprint.

"It's roughly like this. If you are a knowledgeable person, you can know what you are talking about at a glance. This time, go to the place where BJ sells electrical appliances. If there is any, please write down the address. I will go next time. BJ bought it himself, if you don't find it, it doesn't matter, you just come back." Duan Yun settled down to Zhao Changfeng.

In fact, Duan Yun did not expect that Zhao Chuanfeng could really find a place to sell computers in BJ. After all, computers are a rare commodity in the past two years, and ordinary shopping malls will definitely not have them, because private individuals cannot afford computers at all. And corporate purchases should also have approval procedures, unless you go to some foreign-related stores, such as Friendship Stores, it may be possible to find personal computers.

"Okay, then I'll go to the train station to buy a ticket now, and I'll leave at night." Zhao Changfeng said to Duan Yun after folding the note Duan Yun gave him and putting it in his pocket.

"Go early and come back early!" Duan Yun waved his hand, signaling Zhao Changfeng to leave.

After seeing Zhao Changfeng leave, Duan Yun leaned back on the chair and thought for a while, then got up and left the office.

Although Zhao Changfeng has always been reliable in his work, Duan Yun still has no high hopes for whether he can find a computer when he goes to BJ this time.

Although BJ is the capital and enjoys the best resources, such things as imported computers should not be seen in the market. On the contrary, it is not as good as Guangzhou and Shanghai. The management is not as strict as BJ, and Hong Kong, which has a port, is also close. There are many companies that sell dog meat with sheep's head, maybe you can really buy a computer.

Thinking of this, Duan Yun decided to go to Gao Lei to discuss this matter.

Gao Lei came to the factory to look for him a few days ago. He just came back from Guangzhou to replenish the supply of goods for his store in the oil room. At that time, he wanted to invite Duan Yun to drink. Politely declined.

According to Dajun, his apprentice, Gao Lei is still in the shop in Youfang Lane. Now the shop is run by his parents, and he just goes to the south to buy goods. In the past few days, he is also helping his parents with some things. If you look for Gao Lei, you should be able to find it.

After thinking of this, Duan Yun immediately drove to the city.

Duan Yun’s demand for computers is very urgent. Although the performance of the current computers is very backward, and there is no system software such as Windows system or Unix system, and the editing and computing work can only be done through the DOS system, Duan Yun can use such primitive The computer does many things, such as calculating the wages of the whole factory and calculating various parameter data of products. After connecting to a printer, the data can be easily saved.

The most important thing is that if Duan Yun wants to make a real numerical control system, he must have a computer and corresponding equipment to write programs and input the programs into the chip to achieve more complex and precise digital operations.

Duan Yun has always wanted to establish a technical barrier, so that domestic counterparts cannot surpass it, and it is even more difficult to imitate. In this era when the patent law has not yet been implemented, the higher the technical threshold, the safer the patented products of their factory. Only those who master this kind of core technology will not be easily replaced by the superiors, and Duan Yun will always remain invincible.

Whether it is the current labor service company or the electronics factory he wants to start in the future, he is the only one who can master the core technology, and technology is his trump card.

Half an hour later, Duan Yun's car arrived at Youfang Lane.

Duan Yun went to his shop first, chatted with Cao Dong, Cui Lin and others for a while, then walked straight down the shop where Gao Lei was.

After Duan Yun helped Gao Lei obtain his individual business license last month, Gao Lei has been busy decorating and replenishing the store.

To Gao Lei, being able to do business and sell things aboveboard is simply a turning point in his fate. Ever since he lost his job in a state-owned enterprise, doing business has become Gao Lei's only means of earning a living.

For Gao Lei, although doing business is far away and earns more money than working in a factory, it is also risky. If he is caught as a speculator, he will be fined and bankrupt, and he will be in danger of being imprisoned. After Ji Duan Yun helped him obtain a self-employed business license, it was considered to have completely solved one of his heart problems.

At present, Gao Lei's main purchase channel is Guangzhou. After doing business for more than half a year, he already knows the boundaries of Guangzhou very well. He is not only familiar with the various commercial streets in Guangzhou, but also has mastered some special purchase channels.

Gao Lei just came back from Guangzhou a few days ago, he wanted to find Duan Yun and go out for a drink together, but seeing how busy Duan Yun was in the workshop, he had no choice but to leave.

In fact, Gao Lei also understands that Duan Yun is no longer at the same level as him. Duan Yun is an elite cadre within the system, and his future is boundless. However, his self-employed name is still relatively despised these days. But he is really grateful to Duan Yun, and has always regarded him as a brother.

"Gao Lei!" At this time, Duan Yun had arrived at Gao Lei's shop, and when he saw that there was no one in front of the counter, he shouted to the back.

Now Gao Lei’s shop is neatly lined with various small electrical appliances, including electronic watches, radios, and electric fans, all of which he bought from Guangzhou.

"Brother!?" Hearing Duan Yun's voice, Gao Lei immediately walked out of the next room and shouted in surprise.
