Rebirth 1990: I have three golden fingers.

Chapter 36 The Era of BP Machines
Fang Bai quickly read the content of the letter, which mainly included interesting stories about Qin Shuyu's study and life in school, and concern about the recovery of his fingers. Every word in the letter revealed Qin Shuyu's longing for him.

"Hey, this idiot."

Fang Bai found some letter paper and wrote a letter to Qin Shuyu. He wrote the letter relatively quickly, finishing it in more than half an hour.

The main content is the recent study life and finger recovery status, etc. At the end, write the new receiving address.

Maybe he has experienced too much and is not good at expressing the love between his children, but Fang Bai still expressed his longing for her simply and directly.

The two places have not met for a long time, and they are most afraid of misunderstandings, so Fang Bai writes more straightforwardly, thinking about her as much as he wants, unlike Qin Shuyu who is as subtle as Qin Shuyu.

At the same time, he asked her the specific address of her dormitory. Fang Bai had never been to Shanghai University of Finance and Economics in his previous life. He would visit Qin Shuyu later and would know where to find her.

There is no landline phone installed in Qin Shuyu's dormitory, and there is no answerable phone nearby, otherwise he must have told Fang Bai.

The matter of making money was not clearly explained in the letter, but it made Qin Shuyu worried. Fang Bai planned to discuss it in detail after meeting.

By that time, Fang Bai also passed the exam, and the results proved that he had not fallen behind in his studies, so he told her not to worry too much.

He also thought about installing a landline phone in the rented house, but considering that it would cost thousands of dollars to install the cable and the house would be rented out next year, he decided not to do so.

It would be more or less the same if the house belonged to him, but Fang Bai doesn't want to spend money to buy a house for the time being. Nowadays, there is no real estate certificate for self-built houses, so the transaction risk is relatively high.

There is no landline nearby, so just write down someone else's landline. Qin Shuyu can call that person's number and ask Fang Bai to answer the phone.

Of course, you have to pay people to answer the phone like this, and you'll be charged by the minute.

Fang Bai thought about it and felt that it would be more convenient to buy a BP machine. It would also be easier for Qin Shuyu or others to find him.

BP came out a few years ago, but it was only at the beginning of this year that paging stations sprouted up everywhere, and the paging market prospered.

Nowadays, BP machines are not cheap either. Fang Bai recently inquired and found that a Motorola BP machine costs more than 3000 yuan, including the network access fee, but not including the service fee.

With a BP machine attached to your waist, you can brag about it everywhere.

This sentence is not an exaggeration. Nowadays, owning a BP machine and wearing it on your belt is a symbol of a successful person.

If you are in a crowd and your BP machine suddenly beeps, everyone will look at you with envy.

What is the most handsome boy? The person who owns a BP machine is the most handsome boy.

CALL me if something happens, which is the most confident and showy thing to say.

Of course, those who have a Big Brother are at the big boss level, and ordinary people look up to the level.

Fang Bai has no interest in a BP machine hanging in front of his waist, but if he doesn’t have a big brother, it’s better to buy a BP machine.

Well, I'll take a look when I have time.

Alas, communication is really troublesome now. For the time being, we can only communicate by writing letters.

Fang Bai is used to communicating in later generations, but now he can't stand the inefficient communication methods, and it's inconvenient to find people.

When you call home from outside, you can only call the village chief. The village chief will then use the loudspeaker to notify someone to come to his house within a certain number of minutes and then answer the phone.

Some small workshop owners have bought BP machines, but I have never heard of anyone who bought a big brother.

After Fang Bai finished writing the letter, he went downstairs and rode out to mail the letter.

When I arrived at the post office, I found that it was already closed and there was no place to buy stamps. I had to wait until tomorrow to mail it.

After affixing the stamp, just put it directly into the envelope receiving box outside the post office.

Fang Bai has no interest in stamp collecting. He heard that monkey stamps published in 80 have now cost more than 200 yuan a piece. If they cost a few yuan a piece, you can still collect some for fun.

For businessmen, money can only be made if the funds are flowing. If art collection can only be profitable after several years, it will not be helpful to business and will also occupy operating funds.

When Fang Bai came back from his bicycle, he saw his parents coming back from shopping for rice, vegetables, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, pots and pans and other kitchen utensils. He said that from now on he would cook his own meals in the evenings and forget about the crowds eating out at noon.

Fang Bai said: "Mom, it's okay if you don't mind the trouble."

"What's the trouble? You can save money and worry by doing it yourself. You will make more money, but you can save a little.

I heard from your dad that it costs two yuan to order a plate of stir-fried pork in a restaurant. I can buy more than a pound of pork, and my family can eat two meals. Liu Fengqing was chattering while sorting out the things she had just bought with her father.

Fang Bai smiled and understood his mother's thoughts. Her monthly salary was only 50 yuan, which was not enough to order a meat dish for a day's work. He knew that making money was not easy.

His father has no status in the family and has always listened to his mother. He has no abilities. Now that his son has abilities, he also listens to his son.

But Liu Fengqing had a different idea. No matter how capable her son was, he still had to listen to her on some things, just like a housewife.Fang Bai and his sister helped clean the vegetables. He listened to his mother nagging about the prices of vegetables in the market and complaining about the meat seller who cut lean meat for him without any oil or water.

The father burned firewood to heat up the newly bought pot and first poured the oil. Originally, the wife wanted to bring pots and pans from her hometown, but the ones at home were a bit old. Now that she has money, she can buy new ones. Besides, she brought them over and went back to the village. It was troublesome to cook without a pot, so my wife listened to him and bought a new one.

The family of four talked about their daily lives, with happy smiles on everyone's faces.

In the evening, the family gathered together to have dinner, talking and laughing.

With two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes and one soup on the table, Fang Bai's goal of eating meat every day for his family some time ago was finally achieved.

After dinner, my sister doesn’t have to go back to school. There will be no classes in school tomorrow, Saturday. She wants to help her family sell TVs tomorrow.

Fang Bai went back to the bedroom to review.

the next day,
At eight o'clock in the morning, we open the shop and start working.

With one more storefront and more space, ten people will come to repair the TV today. If there are more people, Fang Bai will be too busy.

He is quick to check the problem, but it takes a lot of time to explain to them how to fix it.

At ten o'clock, Fang Bai rode to the post office to mail a letter.

When I came back, I discussed with my parents about going to the stall today.

15 TVs were repaired in the afternoon the day before yesterday, and 30 TVs were repaired yesterday. There were more repairmen in the morning, so it is estimated that there will be about 20 TVs.

Therefore, the number of TVs that can be sold today is around 65.

After experiencing the last boom in sales, Fang Bai added 2 sales staff and 2 handymen. Together with his parents and sister, the total number of people working on site reached 11.

If there are more people, there will be no accidents at the scene, so it doesn’t matter if you spend more money.

At the same time, another tricycle was added.

In order to prepare for today's sale, Fang Bai and his family have done a lot of work and increased their investment.

Fang Bai decided to set up his stall today after lunch. There were probably not many passers-by rushing to buy TVs in the morning, and he would not be too busy here.

In the morning, Fang Bai gave his father a note. If a teacher from Oubei No. 9 Middle School comes to buy a TV, if it is the name on the note, he can get a [-]% discount. If he is a teacher who takes care of him, he can get a [-]% discount. [-]% off.

"Dad, I only told you that I know you, and I didn't reveal that this stall belongs to our family and has a father-son relationship. If people ask, don't say that selling TVs has anything to do with me."

Fang Shi didn't quite understand: "Why hide it?"

"Dad, you have to keep a low profile, otherwise I won't have a quiet life at school. What if students and teachers come to me looking for discounts, wouldn't I be annoyed to death?"

"Haha, that's it. Dad understands. He can make a fortune in a low profile, hehe." Fang Shi smiled naively.

Time passed quickly, and everyone had lunch at around eleven o'clock.

After dinner, we took a short rest, and at twelve o'clock we officially moved out to the TV stall.

It was the first time for Liu Fengqing to see such a large-scale sales work. She didn't understand any of this, so she just helped wherever she needed help.

Fang Bai went to the stall to take a look, said hello to the owner of the small restaurant, handed him cigarettes and left.

He has handed over the field sales work to his father, and his mother is also watching, and there are [-] other people.

In fact, Fang Bai didn't include his sister, she couldn't help him much.

Because Li Meng performed well and knew how to deal with emergencies, he was promoted to sales team leader by Fang Bai and his salary was also increased.

The day before yesterday, many customers did not buy a TV. They were a little regretful and decided to grab a TV today.

After the customer who bought the TV moved the TV home, some relatives, friends and neighbors were very envious after knowing that they had bought the TV at a low price, and also wanted to buy one.

In the past two days, many customers helped Fangbai promote cheap TV sets, bringing in many potential consumers.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, one or two hundred spectators gathered around the street stall. The sales scene was in full swing and the popularity was even greater than the day before.

Some customers who couldn't buy a TV last time paid directly to get the TV.

Some customers who did not plan to buy were led by other consumers and made impulse purchases, as if they were getting a bargain.

Liu Fengqing saw her husband busy counting and collecting money, and quickly helped count the money together. She liked this kind of counting money so much that she thought to herself, "I'm getting rich, I'm getting rich," and she arched her eyebrows with a smile.
