nostalgic era

Chapter 155 An Encounter Outside the Mall
On this day, people who came to Beijing Department Store to buy new year's goods all saw a miraculous scene.

The two men actually carried four TVs in each hand, walking briskly towards the outside.

What surprised everyone was not their strength, but that they were able to buy so many TVs. Could it be that they have increased the volume today?

Thinking of this possibility, everyone swarmed inside, wanting to snap up a TV.

Jiang Deming and Xu Zheng couldn't help but look back when they heard the movement behind them.

"What's wrong with them?" Jiang Deming asked.

Xu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Maybe some good things are on sale."

Jiang Deming nodded with a sudden realization. In this era of extreme shortage of supplies, panic buying is a common thing.

Those scenes in later generations who have been talking about wanting to buy Bingdundun are the same as this meeting wanting to buy electrical appliances.

After stuffing the TV into the car, Jiang Deming was about to get in the car when a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Jiang Deming turned his head, he saw two figures running towards him. One of them had a proud figure that couldn't be concealed even though he was wearing a big padded jacket. Jiang Deming recognized her immediately.

"Milan? Why are you here?"

Milan stopped in front of Jiang Deming panting, and beside her was her best friend Yu Beibei.

After finally recovering her breath, Milan said to Jiang Deming: "Come here to buy something, I almost missed it!"

Jiang Deming smiled and said, "Just go and buy things when you buy them. Why do you follow me?"

"Because what I want to buy is those things in your car!" Milan said, pointing to the TV in the back seat of the jeep, and said, "Just now, I saw you and your companion carrying several TV sets from a long distance away. The TV came out. Are you too good?! You can do so much at once, is there any special channel?!"

Jiang Deming nodded, and said: "Yes, yes, but it's adults' business, children should not inquire about it!"

Milan immediately raised his chest in disbelief, and said, "Where am I so young?"

Well, well, it's not small, but it's not a reason for Jiang Deming to tell her the truth. Can you say anything about that special certificate?
"Okay, I really can't tell you this. If you want to buy a TV, go to the mall as soon as possible. I saw a lot of people rushing in just now. I guess it's starting to increase. You guys are going to be late, so I guess you should buy it." It's not here."

Jiang Deming said he was about to get in the car, but Milan opened his arms and stood in front of him, obstinately not letting him go.

Jiang Deming looked at her helplessly, and said, "Comrade Milan, you are being lazy!"

Milan pouted: "How about I just play a rascal?"

Then, Milan knew what the consequences of playing Wulao would be.

Jiang Deming unceremoniously picked her up and put her aside.

The people around Yu Beibei looked dumbfounded.

Then he opened the door and got in the car. Xu Zheng was also very clever and immediately started the car and drove out.

After getting rid of these two clingy spirits, Jiang Deming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, not long after, he heard Xu Zheng say: "Chief, those two women have followed!"

Jiang Deming looked through the rearview mirror, it really is!
He could only ask Xu Zheng to stop the car and get out of the car again.

After the two caught up, Jiang Deming looked at them helplessly, and said, "I said, what exactly do you two want?"

"We just want to buy a TV from you. We've already inquired about it at the mall, and it won't be available until the next year at the earliest." Yu Beibei said out of breath.

"TV? Why do you want this thing?" Jiang Deming asked.

Yu Beibei explained: "It's not what we want, it's Liu Yiku. His sister will perform on TV during the Chinese New Year. It just so happens that it's not his birthday. Our group wanted to give him a TV, so that their family You can see his sister on TV."

Jiang Deming didn't know what to say for a while. These second generations are really rich. Giving someone a TV set at this time is like giving a car to future generations. Ordinary people really can't afford it.

He turned to look at Milan and said, "Why didn't you just say that?"

Milan gave him an angry look and said, "Did you give me a chance to explain?"

"..."

Jiang Deming scratched his head, it was really his problem.

Liu Yiku had helped him once before, and since he needed it, there was nothing wrong with helping him. Anyway, Jiang Deming hadn't figured out who to give the TV to.

So he said: "Okay, I can give you one TV, only one."

"Understood, cheapskate, who cares!" Milan muttered in a low voice.

Yu Beibei hastily tugged at her clothes, what if Jiang Deming is going to be pissed off, what if they don't give them TV?
Jiang Deming didn't take it seriously either, women are like this.

He opened the car door and was about to pull out a TV from inside, but seeing the thin appearance of the two women, he gave up the idea.

"Get in the car, I'll help you send the TV there."

"Finally, conscience found out!"

After Milan finished speaking, he unceremoniously got into the car.

Yu Beibei thanked Jiang Deming very politely, and then got into the car.

There were already a few TVs stuffed in the back seat, and Milan was plump, so the two of them sat in it somewhat crowded.

But they didn't complain, it was better than walking back with the TV in their arms.

The compound where Liu Yiku lives is not too far from Zhong Yuemin's, just a few houses away.

At the door, Ma Xiaojun and the others had been waiting for a long time, squatting aside talking and laughing.

After Milan saw them, he couldn't wait to stick his head out of the car to greet them.

"Ma Xiaojun, this way!"

After Ma Xiaojun and the others looked up and saw Milan's figure, they immediately stood up and surrounded him.

As soon as the car stopped, Milan couldn't wait to open the door and jumped out, followed by Yu Beibei.

The two women stretched out their hands together, took down the TV from the car, and handed it to Ma Xiaojun.

"Okay, let's carry it in!" Milan clapped his hands and said.

"Okay, Milan, I really let you buy it!"

Milan raised his head proudly, and said, "That's right, you don't even see who is going to do it!"

Yu Beibei also said, "Be careful, we both managed to get this."

"understood!"

A group of young men happily walked towards Liu Yiku's house with the TV set in their arms.

Only Ma Xiaojun, a little pervert, looked back because he was always thinking about Milan.

Instead, I saw Milan and Yu Beibei saying goodbye to Jiang Deming.

They didn't look into the car just now, and Jiang Deming didn't roll down the window to say hello, so Ma Xiaojun and others didn't know that Jiang Deming was sitting here.

Seeing the car passing by like smoke, Ma Xiaojun felt inexplicable.

When playing together, the friends around him treat him as a child, although he is indeed the youngest one.

But he has always longed to be treated as an adult, and wants Milan and Yu Beibei to treat Jiang Deming the same way.

It's a pity that I can only think about these things in my heart. Perhaps one day, when he gets on a jeep like Jiang Deming, Milan and Yu Beibei will look at him differently.

"Ma Xiaojun, why are you standing there stupidly? Go away!"

"Oh!" Ma Xiaojun came back to his senses, and walked in with the TV in his arms.

……

The Li family, Li Yunlong, Tian Yu and Bai Ruoxue had already eaten and were chatting together.

Hearing the knock on the door, Bai Ruoxue immediately stood up and walked towards the door.

"I'm coming!"

As soon as she opened the door, Bai Ruoxue saw what Jiang Deming and Xu Zheng were carrying.

"Is this a TV set? Where did you get so many of them?"

"It's all bought, let's go in first!" Jiang Deming said.

Bai Ruoxue immediately made room for him so that Jiang Deming and Xu Zheng could bring things in.

Li Yunlong and Tian Yu also gathered around when they heard the movement, looking at the batch of TV sets curiously.

"Deming, why do you have so many TV sets?" Tian Yu asked.

Jiang Deming replied: "Beijing TV is going to have a program for the Chinese New Year. I gave some advice. I don't see that there is no TV at home, so I got a TV station and came back."

"I think you have emptied the entire shopping mall! Just one is enough, why buy so many?"

Li Yunlong is used to being frugal, and what he dislikes the most is this kind of extravagant spending.

"You can't say that. If you put one here, I have to have one in my own yard. Besides, my Uncle Zhao must have one, right? Xiao Xu, I'm going to give him one, and I'm going to put one in the cafeteria on the Jingdong side too." One, I plan to dismantle the remaining two to see if there is any improvement."

What Jiang Deming said was reasonable and well-founded, but Li Yunlong really couldn't pick a stab at it.

"Forget it, if you like to toss, go to toss!"

While saying this, Li Yunlong didn't intend to leave at all.

He was very happy to buy a TV at home, but as the head of the family, he had to make his own attitude.

Earlier, the higher-ups also sent a TV to Li Yunlong, but Lao Li didn’t know anything about this kind of thing, and he didn’t even know how to set up the antenna. Not long after Jiang Deming moved here, he sent the TV to his father-in-law’s house. Unexpectedly, Jiang Deming bought it again now. new back.

After setting up one of the TVs, Jiang Deming took out a small antenna stand and connecting wires from the box.

At present, domestic TV signals are transmitted through terrestrial signals, that is, the electromagnetic waves of TV signals are emitted by ground TV towers, and then transmitted to each household.

Now that satellites have not yet been launched into the sky, don't even think about using satellites to spread signals.

After handing over the antenna stand to Xu Zheng and asking him to take it to the top floor and set it up, Jiang Deming turned on the TV.

After pressing the power button, a snowflake interface suddenly appeared on the screen.

Bai Ruoxue asked curiously: "Why can't I see anything?"

"The antenna is not set up properly, we have to wait a while!" Jiang Deming said.

After speaking, he took out the walkie-talkie from his pocket and directed Xu Zheng who was upstairs.

This walkie-talkie is still a sample he left behind, and now he uses it as a phone. Bai Ruoxue and Li Yunlong both have one, so they can contact each other at any time.

It's much faster than making a phone call, and you don't have to wait for half a day.

Of course, this kind of thing is relatively poor in privacy, and if you have any private words, it is inconvenient to pass it through this thing.

After commanding Xu Zheng to fiddle with the antenna, he finally received the signal.

What was broadcast was a piece of news, very short, only about 10 minutes.

In this era, there is no such thing as commercials, and there are very few programs.

In this case, those long, smelly and disgusting advertisements of later generations also become more attractive.

After watching it for a while, Jiang Deming felt a little bored, so he went upstairs to help Xu Zheng fix the shelf.

Li Yunlong and Bai Ruoxue watched it with great interest.

In Jiang Defu's view, programs and dramas that are boring and boring, people in this era can watch with gusto.

No way, the entertainment of this era is really lacking.

On this night, Li Yunlong's family saw that there were no programs on TV, so they reluctantly turned off the TV.

In turn, I feel a little distressed about the electricity bill. After watching for so long, how much will it cost? !
The electricity bill at this time is very expensive, even if there is an organization to help Li Yunlong pay the bill, he still can't help but feel distressed.

Then he told his two sons not to watch TV without his permission.

Jiang Deming experienced this kind of experience before time travel. He lived in the countryside when he was a child, and the first TV he watched was also in black and white. That thing would not be completely eliminated until about 2000.

The main reason is that the price of color TV is high, and ordinary families are reluctant to buy it.

In addition, there are too few programs, and many people even feel that buying a TV is redundant.

In the beginning, there was a rush to buy TV because of the popularity of "Journey to the West".

If Jiang Deming wants to promote TV, he must cooperate with the TV station.

And he also wanted to lower the price of color TVs.
In this way, unless there is a breakthrough in color TV technology, it will be difficult to do so.

Jiang Deming is not in a hurry to start the production of color TVs. He can plan this matter after he finishes everything in his hand and the satellite is launched into the sky.

The next morning, Jiang Deming returned to Jingdong with three TVs.

When the workers who came and went saw it, they were inevitably surprised again.

Especially when he learned that Jiang Deming was going to put one of the TVs in the cafeteria for everyone to watch, he was even more excited.

It's a pity that the cafeteria will not be open until the end of the new year, and the TV will naturally not be available until the end of the year.

But as long as there is hope, the big guys are very satisfied, and when they start working, they work harder.

Except for the TV in the cafeteria, Jiang Deming put the other two in the office and planned to disassemble them when he was free.

After that, I started working on research again.

The production of the electric ceramic stove has been completed, and it can be officially put into production as long as it passes the test.

This kind of production technology is not difficult, and Jiang Deming is going to ask the higher authorities to approve the establishment of a factory near several major cities in the country.

This thing can only be used if it is established, and the electricity in the countryside is insufficient, so even if you buy it, it is a waste.

After handing over the test task to Tong Zhi and Dazhuang, Jiang Deming took out the design drawing of the Walkman.

He had overlooked a very important thing - battery technology.

The TPS-L2 was originally designed to use a removable battery.

What the system gives is a version with a built-in battery, and the battery life is much stronger than loading two AA batteries.

Jiang Deming's idea is to split this battery technology and use it in other places.

Something like a walkie-talkie is needed.

In order to maintain the battery life of the walkie-talkie that was produced earlier, the battery inevitably became much larger.
