Roaming in the world of film and television

Lin Yue went to sit opposite her and glanced at the things in her hand: "Hey, where are you reading the newspaper? Why are you concerned about national affairs?"

"It's not Lao Yao who keeps nagging in his ear day by day, saying that it's okay for me not to like reading, and he doesn't like reading, but this newspaper must be read every day, carefully, because this is not the reform and opening up, some Huimin All the good policies that benefit the people are in this.”

"Hey, is this still the old and rude husband you talked about? Shibie three days really treats each other with admiration."

"It's not all about money." Dong Weihong waved his hand: "I don't mention him anymore, I will be upset if I mention him. By the way, how is the business negotiation going?"

The current Ms. Dong, compared to the little local girl who wore a coarse cotton padded jacket, had lice on her body, and smelled of cow dung six years ago, is now a big change, with gold necklaces, white dresses, fashionable satchels, and high-fashioned clothes. Sandals are not only feminine, but also reveal a bit of ladylike temperament.

Lin Yue gave her an OK gesture: "120 12-inch Sony TVs will arrive in Hong Kong in three days, and there are 30 Sharp dual-card recorders, but it will take a while, because they also have to find domestic manufacturers to distribute the goods."

"Sharp tape recorder? Isn't Sanyo the best on the market now? Sharp? Is it also a Japanese brand?"

"You don't understand this, don't you think that Sanyo sells well here, it is only a second-tier brand in Japan, and Sharp is a real first-tier brand, but Sanyo came in earlier, and we have a higher degree of recognition here. "

"Sharp doesn't know much and you still ask people to help you distribute the goods?"

"There is a saying that rare things are more expensive. The less luxury goods are in circulation, the rich and knowledgeable people will be willing to pay high prices. Let's put it this way, you play Sanyo tape recorders, and I play Sharp tape recorders. The two of us sit together, who has a higher style?"

Dong Weihong understood: "That's why you asked me to ask Lao Yao to help you arrange the freight to Beijing, because Beijing knows more about goods, and it is easier to earn the price difference than the South."

Lin Yue said: "That's right, since we're doing flipping, we need to minimize information, time and traffic differences."

"Anyway, I don't understand, so just tell me how much money you can earn from this order."

As a woman who doesn't like to study, she is used to this person saying all sorts of strange things. In short, she can't understand the words. It was like this when writing letters a few years ago. After meeting and dating in the south in the past two years, she still burst out a sentence or two from time to time. No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't figure out the noun.

"Take the 12-inch Sony TV as an example. The price offered by the Japanese is 300 yuan a set. If it is shipped to the north and sold to the receiver for 480 yuan, the profit of one set is about 150 yuan. Well, taxes and travel expenses have been included in it. .”

120 sets of 12-inch black and white TV sets, a profit of 150, a total of 18,000 yuan.

After 40 years, as an electronic product, the profit margin is already frighteningly high, but in the 1970s and 1980s, was it high?

Anyway, for Dong Weihong, who has heard a lot from Lao Yao, this is not high at all.

Lin Yue seemed to understand her inner thoughts. He took out a cigarette and lit it, put it near his mouth and took a puff, and said slowly: "Is the income low? I'm not interested in smuggling."

In this era, smuggling is rampant along the coast, especially in the south. For example, this 12-inch Sony black and white TV can only be purchased in HK for more than 100 yuan. If it is not smuggled to the mainland through customs, one can be sold for 500 yuan, with a profit margin of 300%. , he went through formal channels, and the profit margin was only 50% when he used [Bargaining LV4]. The difference between the two comparisons came out, which is why some people risked jail time to smuggle.

Dong Weihong smiled slightly, and was not disturbed because the other party guessed her mind. This good friend who developed from a pen pal was sometimes like a roundworm in her stomach. He had already given the answer before the words in her heart came out.

Lin Yue flicked the ash into the ashtray, and said casually: "A few days ago, a boss Huang from Chen Tian approached me and wanted to partner with me in a big business, but I politely declined, but I remember you have a younger brother, Relying on the support of you and Lao Yao, I think it's better to let him go to Boss Huang's place as an apprentice, than to stay at home and wait for death."

Dong Weihong was very curious, and leaned forward: "What business?"

"car."

"car?"

Today's fashionable products, TV sets, tape recorders, telephones, stereos, motorcycles... As for cars, they are definitely luxury goods among luxury goods. Most people can't drive them, and they can't even afford them. No wonder he said it's a big deal. After all, the sales agency rights for this thing are in the hands of state-owned enterprises. Even if ordinary people know how profitable this industry is, it is basically impossible for ordinary people to get a piece of it.

"Car smuggling?" Dong Weihong could only think of this way.

"not completely."

"How to say?"

Lin Yue looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them, and said in a low voice: "These people have collected a batch of accident vehicles in the United States and Europe, disassembled the parts, cut the skeleton and declared it into the country in the form of metal materials, and after re-welding After finishing the sheet metal and painting work, it can be sold to various places. Of course, the price is much lower than that of regular car dealers, but even so, the profit margin is amazing.”

Dong Weihong said: "These people are really good, but... my younger brother only has a junior high school education, can he be qualified for the job there?"

"Don't worry, as long as you study hard, you'll be fine."

"Then I'll go home and discuss it with my parents."

Dong Weihong originally wanted Lao Yao to gain a foothold here and help his brother-in-law after getting along with his colleagues and leaders, but after thinking about his suggestion, he thought it was good, because Chen Tian's business here is profiteering, and the boss will definitely not It is indeed a long-term solution to treat her brother badly, learn skills without taking risks, and get more money.

"Okay, remember to let me know when you have the answer." Lin Yue glanced at his watch: "I have to meet someone later, so I won't keep you here for dinner. Next week, find time to get together next week."

Dong Weihong didn't show any grievances or dissatisfaction on her face. She got up from the sofa with her bag in her hand, and while arranging her dress, she said, "I know you're busy. It's important to get down to business. Go quickly."

Lin Yue nodded, pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, picked up the handbag and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something and stopped again, unzipped the handbag, took out an exquisite gift box from inside and handed it over: "The last time I went to HK to see I found a good pair of watches, so I bought them, thinking that you and Lao Yao have helped me so much, I always want to express my gratitude, but there are so many things at hand, I have never been free."

Dong Weihong opened the lid of the box and saw that there were two watches, one large and one small, and the crown logo in the middle of the dial was very eye-catching.

"Isn't this too expensive?"

"The tax is lower in HK, much cheaper than here, so I'll take it for you."

"wait."

Lin Yue took two steps forward when Dong Weihong called him to stop.

"What's wrong?"

"Does my new dress look good?"

Lin Yue looked up and down a few times: "It looks good."

...

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed, and the time came to the autumn of 1980.

The four major special economic zones were officially established, and countless young people flocked from all over the country with the idea of ​​getting ahead.

Shenzhen, because it is very close to HK and because of the many opportunities, has become the choice of most people.

This small fishing village began to flourish. Photos of the villagers pulling buffaloes, the construction workers from the north, and the HK bosses walking on the street were published in various magazines and newspapers, and became very popular.

On this day, exit from Shenzhen Station.

Outside the door are men and women holding signs to meet friends, old women from nearby villages are pushing small carts selling popsicle soda, and a little further away are food stalls selling food such as tea eggs and rice rolls.

Lin Yue waited in the square in front of the station for a while, and helped the police catch a thief. After that, he caught Uncle Ding in the new wave of people leaving the station.

Just like what was agreed more than a year ago, things in the north are on the right track, so I will pick him up to Shenzhen for a walk and a tour. It can be said that he can travel and relax, and he can also learn knowledge.

"Uncle Ding."

Lin Yue yelled inside.

The middle-aged man with the army green bag looked up and waved after seeing his figure in the crowd.

"Bingkun."

"Have you been on the train for two days, are you tired?"

Uncle Ding wiped the newly grown stubble on his chin, and joked: "The body is not tired, but the heart is tired."

It can be seen that he is in a good mood.

Thinking about it, people who have stayed in the Northeast for more than 20 years without moving their homes, now come all the way south to Shenzhen, of course there is a sense of freshness inside and out.

Lin Yue took the bag in his hand: "How do you say it?"

Uncle Ding said: "I said just buy a seat ticket. The sleeper berth is too expensive."

Lin Yue couldn't help laughing, not knowing whether to call him simple or Grandet.

"Okay, don't worry about these trivial things. You haven't been out of Jiangliao for most of your life. Now that you finally have time to go out, how can I let you squeeze the hard seat. Let's go, find a place to eat first."

"become."

The two took a few steps outside, and Uncle Ding's expression changed several times, as if he wanted to bear it but couldn't.

"Bingkun, there is actually one thing that has been on my mind for several months, and I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Uncle Ding, what is the relationship between us? If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Half a year ago, there were rumors from people in the optical film... that you were expelled from Tsinghua University. Is this true?"
