The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 224 The open and hidden arrows in bangs
Li Aiguo's words are quite convincing.

Zhang Erpao and Wang Dakui often saw Li Aiguo holding books all day long.

There are also various types of books.

They range from serious ideological education books to manuscripts of Pinhua Baojian, with some books on sow midwifery techniques mixed in between.

It’s not surprising to occasionally read one or two books on repairing electrical appliances.

If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. If you want to repair a radio, you must have tools.

Fortunately, the scrap point is just a department store with all kinds of weird stuff.

Wang Dakui quickly found a multimeter, screwdriver, soldering iron, solder, magnifying glass and seven or eight other tools.

"Brother Patriot, if you repair this thing and we resell it, we can sell it for 50 yuan at the cheapest price, which is five times the profit."

Wang Dakui is full of expectations.

"Whether it can be repaired depends on the cause of the failure. If there is a problem with the electronic tube, it will be out of luck."

As Li Aiguo spoke, he deftly took apart the radio.

Tube radios are all made of scaffolding and welded, with large and small tubes inside.

Because there is no printed circuit board, it can work normally even in harsh environments and has a long life.

Most of the causes of failures are problems with the electron tubes and cathode bypass capacitors.

Li Aiguo took a multimeter and checked it carefully, with a smile on his face.

Good luck.

This radio has a problem with the gate circuit of the power amplifier stage. The fault can be solved by welding the cathode bypass capacitor again.

"Dakui, get some soldering." Li Aiguo put down the multimeter and picked up a towel to clean the dust inside the radio.

"Hey, Li Aiguo, can you still repair a radio?"

Before Wang Dakui turned around, a fat figure came over, his small eyes sparkling.

The person who spoke was none other than Liu Haizhong, the second uncle of the courtyard. He was also carrying a few empty wine bottles in his hands, preparing to sell the scraps.

"Second uncle, I'm just messing around. Second gun, hurry up and receive the goods."

Li Aiguo replied casually, then lowered his head and continued to clean the dust next to the capacitor.

Any bit of dust may affect the welding effect.

The empty wine bottle in Liu Hai was handed over to Zhang Erpao in exchange for three cents.

He put the money in his pocket and was not in a hurry to leave. He just squatted beside him and started to read.

The difficulty of scaffolding welding is much higher than that of tin soldering. Which wire needs to be thick, which wire needs to be thin, which wire needs to use flat copper, and even silver wire is used in some places. exquisite.

Li Aiguo is now a master repairman, so naturally these things will not trouble him.

Take out a flat copper wire, hold a soldering iron to disconnect the cathode bypass capacitor from the base plate, and then use the copper wire to directly twist the two together.
In just a moment, the welding was complete.

The surface of the scaffolding welding looks very neat, and some lines are simmered at 90-degree angles.

After looking at the bangs for a long time, there was no sign of repair.

"Patriot, I'm pretty good at welding, but repairing radios isn't the best at welding."

"pat"

Before Liu Haizhong finished speaking, Li Aiguo plugged the radio into the socket and flipped the switch.

There was a buzzing sound from the radio speaker.

Hearing this voice, both Wang Dakui and Zhang Erpao became energetic instantly. As long as the radio was powered on, it meant that they had reached the end of their cultivation.

"Quickly adjust the station."

Zhang Erpao couldn't wait, with quick eyes and quick hands, he pulled open the antenna and twisted the knob.

Soon a clear voice came from the radio.

"Zi~zi~ da-di-da, da-di-da, children, the small speaker is starting to broadcast!"

The voice of "Grandfather Story" Sun Jingxiu came from the two loudspeakers.

"Hey, it's really fixed. Hey, patriotic cow."

Wang Dakui excitedly patted Li Aiguo on the shoulder, and opened his mouth to say that he could earn 40 yuan now.

But when he saw Liu Haizhong standing aside, he quickly closed his mouth and gave Li Aiguo a wink.

The two of them smiled and entered the back room.

Wang Dakui pulled down the door curtain, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed it to Li Aiguo.

"Brother Patriot, the price of this thing is ten yuan, and it can be sold for 50 yuan. This time, I will make a net profit of 40 yuan, which is much faster than collecting scraps."

As he spoke, he took out a match and helped Li Aiguo light a cigarette: "How about we close the junk shop and collect radios, repair them, and sell them at the pigeon market?"

"What's going on? It's like taking a gun!"

"Ah, that's not possible, we didn't break the law!" Wang Dakui scratched his head.

Li Aiguo took a deep breath on his cigarette, "Let me ask you, are there any private electrical appliance repair stalls on the street now?"

Wang Dakui had nothing to say, but he was still a little unwilling: "Then let's just forget it?"

Wang Dakui was afraid of poverty. Seeing that he couldn't get the money in vain, he felt like a wild cat scratching his heart.

"That's not true. Doesn't our scrap shop directly connect with the scrap company? I remember that the agreement we signed at the beginning included the clause of recycling scrap items and reselling them after simple rectification."

As Li Aiguo spoke, he asked Wang Dakui to find the agreement and point out the terms to Wang Dakui.

"In other words, we have the right to sell used items."

"Note, this is only for waste items, new ones must not touch them."

Wang Dakui looked at the black and white words on it and was completely impressed.

When he signed the agreement, he, the manager, thought it was just a process, so he threw it aside without even looking at it.

Unexpectedly, Li Aiguo would work hard to study the agreement.

Wang Dakui suddenly became energetic, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and stamped it out: "I will immediately ask Zhang Erpao and Wang Erxiao to increase the purchase of used radios. The purchase price will be increased from the original ten yuan. Raise it to 15 yuan. My brother is going to get rich this time!"

Seeing Wang Dakui's excitement, Li Aiguo couldn't bear to pour cold water on him.

However, in order for the scrap point to develop sustainably, we had to reach out and grab him back.

"Even if we want to sell radios, we can't sell them openly."

"Why?" Wang Dakui was surprised: "We have formal procedures."

"Who issued the formalities to you?" Li Aiguo said with a faint smile.

Wang Dakui remained silent.

Generally speaking, street offices and supply and marketing cooperatives will not make it difficult for a few people to settle down because of some used radios.

But the profits here are really too great.

A profit of [-]% is enough to make people jealous.

Some people don't have much ability, but they are good at complaining behind their backs.

After arriving in this era, Li Aiguo had already learned the method of taking one step and looking at three steps when doing things.

Only by being careful can you live longer.

Only then did Wang Dakui wake up from his excitement.

"Then let's leave it at that?"

"Of course not, Wutai only repairs five radios a month, and the radios are sold to Jincheng through the hands of the little black fat man. In this way, they will not attract attention."

"This is called sneaking into the village, no gunmen!" Wang Dakui became excited again.

Taking Li Aiguo to divide the profits was a habit they developed after working together.

After some friendly negotiations, the cost of purchasing the radio was shared by the two.

Wang Dakui was responsible for the acquisition and shared the profits equally, but he had to pay extra to Li Aiguo's radio repairman.

In order to prevent the acquired radio from being junk, Li Aiguo also gave Zhang Erpao how to test whether a radio could be repaired.

After all this hard work, it was almost noon when I walked out of the back room.

Liu Haizhong was still waiting outside, squatting at the door and counting ants. After seeing Li Aiguo, he quickly stood up and came over.

"Patriot, the radio at the second uncle's house is broken, can you help me fix it?"

help?
Craftsmanship free of charge?Li Aiguo chuckled and said: "Second uncle, my skills are all the skills of a three-legged cat. They are not suitable for use on the table. You still have to send the radio to the state-owned store."

The radio is the lifeblood of Liu Haizhong.

Every morning, he learned about national affairs through the radio, and then preached to the residents of the courtyard by the pool.

The admiring looks from the residents made Liu Haizhong feel like an official.

Ever since the radio broke down, Liu Hai couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well. He always felt that something was missing.

A while ago, he had sent the radio to a state-run repair center.

It ended up costing 2 cents, but it still wasn't repaired.

Seeing Li Aiguo about to leave, Liu Haizhong quickly followed him, licking his face and smiling: "Aiguo, pay for it, and I'll pay for the repairs."

Li Aiguo stopped, looked at Liu Haizhong, and suddenly smiled: "Second uncle, even if you give me money, I have to dare to accept it."

Just kidding, in the original work, Liu Haizhong had a history of betraying others and making snitches.

As soon as he received the money, he could go to the street to file a complaint.

We can't blame Li Aiguo for being too careful, but the bottom line of these beasts is too low.

No, there is no bottom line at all.

Liu Haizhong really had this idea.

But I didn't really want to report Li Aiguo, I just wanted to use this matter to hold him accountable.

Yan Jiecheng from the Yan family is now working as a coal worker in the locomotive depot. Last month, he earned a full 30 yuan after being fined [-] yuan.

Such a high salary caused a sensation in the courtyard.

Liu Haizhong also wanted Li Aiguo to bring Liu Guangqi to the maintenance section.

It's just that Liu Guangqi is a technical secondary school graduate, so he can be assigned a job as a dispatcher.

It's easy, you can make money, and you can even get a house.

That's why he agreed to pay so readily.

By then, the radio would be repaired and he would be able to take the opportunity to threaten Li Aiguo.

It's called a win-win.

Unexpectedly, Li Aiguo didn't accept the move at all, causing Liu Haizhong's plan to fail.

Liu Haizhong could only laugh at this moment: "I can't control it. As the second uncle, how can I do such a thing."

Li Aiguo wanted to reject Liu Haizhong outright, but when he looked up, he saw Yi Zhonghai coming out of the courtyard, holding his hands behind his back and looking this way!
His eyes lingered on Li Aiguo and Liu Haizhong, and when he saw Liu Haizhong licking his face and smiling, his face suddenly darkened.

When did Li Aiguo win Liu Haizhong over?

Li Aiguo rolled his eyes, stopped and looked at Liu Haizhong.

"Second uncle, we are all neighbors and we should help each other. It's just that I don't know what's wrong with your radio. You can send the radio to my house later and let me take a look.

If you can fix it, I will definitely help you fix it. "

"Good Le!"

Liu Haizhong was so excited that when he got home, he picked up the radio and ran to Li's house.

But he was stopped by the second aunt.

"Old man, what are you doing?"

"Ask Li Aiguo to repair the radio."

Hearing this, the second aunt frowned.

Li Aiguo is not a fool like Sha Zhu.

Because of what happened a while ago, he and the Liu family had a big feud. Would he be so kind as to help the Liu family repair the radio?

"Old man, please tell me clearly what's going on."

Lieutenant General Liu Hai learned everything Li Aiguo said.

"Old man, are you stupid? What Li Aiguo said is that if you can repair it, he will definitely help you repair it. As for whether you can repair it or not, it's not a matter of his words?!"

"At that time, you can only take the radio back, which means your trip was in vain."

The second aunt was careful and quickly noticed the loopholes.

"You Li Aiguo, how dare you tease me." Liu Haizhong blushed with anger.

The second aunt said: "I'm not teasing you, Li Aiguo is not the kind of person who likes to joke. I guess he wants to draw some blood."

"It would be nice if he took money. I would agree even if it's 100 yuan, but that kid is a thief!" Liu Haizhong was about to cry but had no tears.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong was still confused, she continued to explain: "You are so transparent on weekdays, why are you being stupid now? We are all neighbors. He helped you repair the radio. To thank him, it is not an exaggeration to give him a small gift." Bar?"

"Hey, honey, don't say it, this is really what happened!"

Liu Haizhong's eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh fiercely, and said twice: "Li Aiguo is even more capable than Yi Zhonghai in his tricks. A small thing can make him really fancy."

"He took advantage and left the neighbors speechless. This man is so powerful."

Liu Haizhong regretted it a little.

If he had known that Li Aiguo was not a coward, he would not have coveted the Li family's house a while ago and agreed to join forces with Yi Zhonghai.

"Forget it, forget it, I'll just have to suffer a little loss this time."

Liu Haizhong knew that he could not take advantage, so he could only carry two kilograms of peanuts and a radio to Li's house.

Two kilograms of peanuts cost [-] cents, which is equivalent to the repair fee at a state-run repair shop.

What he didn't see was Yi Zhonghai standing under the eaves, staring at him with a cold face.

Two days ago, Aunt Ma reported to him that Xu Damao and Liu Lan hosted a banquet for Li Aiguo.

Today Liu Haizhong came to Li's house again carrying gifts.

Unknowingly, Li Aiguo had won over so many people.

It's terrifying.

It is estimated that it won't be long before Li Aiguo plans to become the master of his courtyard.

No, we have to find someone quickly to check and balance Li Aiguo.

"Second uncle, please open it and try it."

Inside Li's house.

Li Aiguo handed the repaired radio to Liu Haizhong.

"pat"

Liu Haizhong turned on the switch, and a burst of cheerful music soon came from inside.

"Ai Guo, your skills are amazing. You can become a professional repairman."

Liu Haizhong gave a thumbs up: "Thank you so much this time."

Li Aiguo chuckled and said, "You're welcome, I like to help my neighbors the most."

Liu Haizhong: "."

He looked at the half bag of peanuts on the table, with a trace of bitterness on his lips.

Liu Haizhong felt that he was being played by Li Aiguo this time.

After returning home, he immediately asked the second aunt to spread the word in the compound that Li Ai would repair the electrical appliances and asked the residents to send the appliances to Li Ai's country.

"Old lady, I want to see if Li Aiguo dares to blackmail other residents."

"If he dares to do that, I will call a meeting to criticize him."

The second aunt said with some worry: "Haizhong, Li Aiguo is not someone to be trifled with. I think we should just swallow this breath. After all, he also helped you repair the radio. I think we'd better not offend him."

"You're a woman, what do you know! If you don't let Li Aiguo know how powerful you are this time, he will definitely hit you in the face in the future."

Bangzhong's eyes widened.

so many years.

Only he plays with others.

No one can play with him yet.
