NOVEL NEXT Chapter 55 Buying Appliances
The tickets in the hands of coal miners are for daily use of coal. Under normal circumstances, the amount redeemed is not too large. Even if more coal is used in winter, it cannot be so large for several days in a row.
One or two days is enough, there are no more than three things to do, and there is a limit to greed. "The opportunities are good, but the risks are also high. It is best to accept the opportunity when it is good."
The two exchanged glances. Everything went smoothly today, and neither of them felt there was any danger.
The only danger is that they might be robbed on the way back with the money. After all, they have never thought about having so much money in their lives, let alone owning it.
Lin Jing explained patiently: "A small amount of barter among the people is fine, but if the amount is large, it will definitely attract the attention of the relevant departments. Now they want to exchange coal stamps for fruits. There is talk among them. After all, it is not our initiative. of."
"The nature of buying things with money is different. If you reach a certain amount, you will have to go to jail and use a sewing machine. Only by restraining your desires and accepting things when you are good can you live a long life."
Nowadays, the market economy has been liberalized, and the materialistic society is becoming more and more attractive to people. In this era, many people are getting rich, and many people are falling from their peak.
The winner is king, sometimes it is not as good as the leftover is king.
Lin Yun listened to his sister, and her sister was right.
Zhao Lei didn't feel the need to speak. After making so much money, he actually wanted to stop today, but he couldn't help but want to make more tomorrow. After listening to his cousin's words, he calmed down a lot.
After Lin Ershan confirmed tomorrow's note at the fruit and vegetable wholesale market and came to talk about it, several people made some arrangements for tomorrow.
Restraint is necessary, and there is nothing wrong with running away when you can make a profit.
Especially fishing for gold directly from the cornucopia.
"I made a little inquiry about the coal price in the market today. During the Chinese New Year, the supply exceeds the demand. Many people are rumoring that the price of coal will increase next year. Some people charge 900 per ton. We can raise the price tomorrow."
Since it's the last day, it's good to make enough money.
The next day, Lin Yun and four others went to the fruit and vegetable wholesale market early to pick up goods and go to the mining area. They got hundreds of thousands of them. Mr. Lin wanted to lie down and slept until he woke up naturally before getting up to have breakfast.
Eating the scallion noodles made by Duan Yue'e, Lin Jing felt very capitalist and thought that her family was rich, so why not hire someone to help with housework for a long time?
Two or three are fine, so that she can lie down and make salted fish with peace of mind. Otherwise, she will always feel guilty for not doing any work.
I remember that after becoming President Lin, she hired a dedicated nanny, two hourly workers and a driver in her villa.
no! Poor guidance to younger siblings.
For the future of her family, Lin Jing decided to set a good example and wash the dishes.
Qin Zichuan arrived at around nine o'clock. After greeting his family, Lin Jing went out on her family's tricycle.
You can't buy washing machines in stores anymore, you might have them in junk shops.
Thinking about those days, not that Mr. Lin likes to think about those days, but the fact is that the family had a nanny and four washing machines.
Several times, there were no problems with the washing machine at home. Just because there were better products on the market, Lin Jing gave the well-used appliances to recyclers.
Things have changed, and now she goes to the scrap collection station to look for other people's scrapped washing machines.
Life is really full of variables.
At this time, the city management was not too strict, and some people occupied this abandoned abandoned house for private use and piled scraps for private use. However, after a few detours, Qin Zichuan took him to a scrap collection station.
It is said to be a scrap collection station. The boss here seems to be quite particular. The various scraps are not piled too messy and are also sorted.
Most of the waste products are placed outdoors, while household appliances are placed indoors. Some are just broken sheds with roofs but no walls, allowing light and ventilation.
"Uncle, what are the prices of these home appliances?" Qin Zichuan asked.
The old man who collected the scraps glanced at Qin Zichuan and said, "The air conditioner is RMB 500, the TV is RMB 100, the refrigerator is RMB 70, the washing machine is RMB 50, and the radio is RMB 15. You can choose which one you want. You can decide whether it can be repaired. I am not responsible for going out.”
Lin Jing doesn't know how to repair electrical appliances.
When I first got married, the Zhang family had a lot of electrical appliances. It was too hard to make money and I didn’t have time to watch TV. Later, when I got rich, the prices of home appliances on the market dropped. You can buy whatever you want. If it’s not broken, you can replace it with a new one. Who will take it? To repair?
I think back then, many people said that money in the past was valuable and had high purchasing power, and one hundred yuan could buy more things.
But it depends on what you buy. Pork and rice are much cheaper. When it comes to electrical appliances, many people only need a year’s savings to buy one appliance. Is the purchasing power really high?
Some home appliances even sell for 900 at this time and 500 thirty years later, when they are newer, better and cheaper.
Seeing that the two of them were hesitating, the old man who collected scraps pointed to another shelf and said, "The things in there are all dismantled from old appliances. When you buy electrical appliances, you can pick whatever parts you like."
"Do you want to choose?" Qin Zichuan asked.
What to choose?
Even with that appearance, Lin Jing couldn't look down on him.
Unfortunately, she had no choice now. Her mother and younger siblings both wanted a TV, and she wanted to buy a washing machine. "Boss, the one you get from scraps only costs five yuan at most, and it's not repairable." Yes, your price is too high, right?"
The uncle glanced at her, but he didn't expect that the two young people seemed to be knowledgeable. He said displeasedly: "Whether you want to buy it or not."
"How about this? I'll choose four TVs, five washing machines, two refrigerators and two radios. I'll give you two hundred in total."
The uncle was secretly happy in his heart, but unwilling on his face, "No, it's too little. A TV costs one hundred yuan. If you go to a department store to buy a new one, it will cost eight or nine hundred. A color TV like this will cost two thousand two. I It’s a good deal for only one hundred units, but you have to pay more.”
Lin Jing smiled, "The ones in the department store are good. If you buy them, they must be repairable by others. How can they be worth the price?"
"Add a hundred."
"It's only two hundred in total. If it's more, I'll change places." Lin Jing insisted. It was a rare opportunity to bargain and she had to cherish this feeling.
After much haggling, Lin Jing refused to add another penny.
The uncle made some secret calculations again, waved his hand as if he had suffered a big loss, and said: "Forget it, forget it, it's the Chinese New Year, just think that I suffered a little loss, you can choose whatever you want."
Lin Jing didn't like him and didn't know how to pick him, so he left the difficult task to Qin Zichuan.
Qin Zichuan was also stunned, "Don't you just buy a washing machine?"
"Can't you buy more?" It was a rare opportunity to bargain and squander, so Lin Jing wanted to spend her money to the fullest.
What kind of happiness can there be if you don’t spend money?
Qin Zichuan was a little helpless and said truthfully: "I'm not a professional in repairing electrical appliances. I can't repair so many appliances."
