Chapter 60 Second-hand TV
After Lan Baohong and the others left, Zhang Beichuan locked the door from the inside. After a while, he returned to 2026 with a thought and continued doing his homework.
He was busy until the afternoon of that day before he finally figured out the details of the assembly plant.
To establish its own lighter assembly plant in 1986, in addition to sourcing core components from 2026, it would also be necessary to take over an injection molding plant in 1986 and contact a hardware processing plant to produce items such as windproof caps.
Then, in the evening of 2026, Zhang Beichuan ran back to 1986 and moved the eels, loaches, and other aquatic products to Beichuan Aquatic Products in 2026.
Because of their high quality and the support of regular customers, the more than 700 jin of eels and the more than 100 jin of loaches were quickly sold out.
After seeing off the last customer, Zhang Beichuan glanced at the remaining crucian carp and grass carp, which were few in number, about ten pounds.
The wholesale price of grass carp and crucian carp is not high, ranging from 4 to 6 yuan per jin (500 grams). Zhang Beichuan decided not to wait any longer, and prepared to turn on the oxygen pump and go home to rest.
Just then, my phone rang.
他拿起手机看了一眼，【招商银行】您帐户6999于04月04日04:02分入帐1680元，余额106844.38元......
In just a few days, he went from being penniless to having some savings again.
Zhang Beichuan smiled, put his phone in his pocket, locked the door, and hummed a song as he walked towards the parking lot.
He wasn't happy about the 100,000 yuan, but rather that this path was viable. The only problem was that he would have to pay some taxes in the end, and then the money would be cleanly disposed of.
......
September 16, 1986, Beichuan Department Store.
As the sun began to set, Lan Baojun was checking today's accounts and inventory with Baoqiang and his brother.
Just then, a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old stopped his bicycle and ran in excitedly.
"Brother Baojun, Brother Baoqiang...look!"
The three of them looked up at the five chickens that Lan Baoquan was carrying, and their faces lit up with laughter.
"Did you receive this this afternoon?"
Lan Baoquan smiled smugly, "I told my dad about it when I got home, and then I rode my bicycle from home and went to quite a few places in one afternoon."
"Not bad, not bad, put it in the storage room in the backyard," Lan Baojun praised.
Before long, other people arrived one after another.
There are as few as two chickens, and as many as seven or eight.
The entire storage room in Beichuan's backyard instantly turned into a chicken coop, with chickens clucking incessantly.
There weren't many people at Beichuan Department Store at the moment. These Lan family boys were calculating their earnings for the day while chatting and laughing, making quite a scene.
Looking at the bustling Beichuan Department Store across the street, and recalling the gunshots that had come from inside last night, Zhou Jing was filled with curiosity.
Last night, after hearing the gunshots, everyone was too scared to hide, and no one dared to come out and watch the commotion.
In the morning, Zhang Beichuan was in the store. Everyone ran over to ask him, but he didn't say a word.
Based on what happened recently, she guessed it was about Zhao Xueming.
There weren't many people buying clothes in the store at that moment, so she walked to the Beichuan Department Store across the street.
"Brother Baojun, there are so many of you... "
Lan Baojun glanced at her and said with a smile.
"They are all children from our family, helping Xiaochuan out."
The Lan family boys immediately fell silent when they saw Zhou Jing, who was wearing jeans, and their eyes were immediately drawn to her shapely buttocks.
At that age, full of youthful vigor, watching it filled me with immense excitement.
"Is that so?" Zhou Jing was still skeptical, completely unaware that she had taken a few more steps closer to the glass counter. "Brother Baojun, was it Zhao Xueming and his gang last night...?"
Lan Baojun glanced at her in surprise and thought for a moment.
Everyone knows that Zhao Xueming and Zhang Beichuan have a grudge.
Furthermore, with Zhao Xueming and his gang arrested today, no one is going to keep watch on Zhou Jing's shop anymore.
It's not surprising that she has such a guess.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
When her suspicions were confirmed, Zhou Jing first covered her mouth in surprise, and then asked.
"Is Mr. Zhang alright?"
"It's nothing, what could possibly be wrong?"
Lan Baojun understood, of course, that Zhou Jing wasn't really concerned about Xiao Chuan's safety, but rather about whether her nylon stockings were safe.
"That's good... I was terrified when that gunshot rang out last night. How could they be so bold as to commit murder for money?"
Lan Baojun smiled, pondering to himself.
The county public security bureau will post a notice in a few days. Rather than letting everyone guess, it's better to reveal the truth.
In this way, Xiao Chuan's good deed of helping the police bring Zhao Xueming, this local thug, to justice can also be praised by everyone.
From then on, Beichuan Department Store on Jiefang Road would be even less likely to be targeted by others.
After hearing the details, Zhou Jing was stunned, staring blankly at him, seemingly still processing what she had just heard.
Just then, Zhang Beichuan returned from a trip to the city, with a television set in the back of his truck.
This trip to the city wasn't for leisurely strolls; it was to inquire about injection molding factories. After spending the entire afternoon there, he actually found one that he had a good chance of acquiring.
"Brother Xiao Chuan is back!" the boys inside shouted immediately.
Zhang Beichuan picked up the television set from the back of the tricycle and walked inside. He immediately saw Zhou Jing and roughly understood what was going on.
"A TV!" Seeing the TV in his hand, the Lan family boys immediately ran over excitedly. "Brother Xiao Chuan, did you buy this?"
"Yeah, a friend brought it for me." After saying that, Zhang Beichuan turned his head and gestured with his lips, "Go, get the antenna out for me, let's install the TV."
"no problem."
Upon hearing that there would be television to watch later, the seven or eight boys from the Lan family were incredibly excited. Some went to retrieve the items from the truck bed, while others took the television.
"Boss Zhang," Zhou Jing greeted.
Zhang Beichuan nodded. "Don't worry, Boss Zhou, I've done what I promised. I'll give it to you when my goods arrive in a few days."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jing nodded in satisfaction, then glanced enviously at the television set being carried by the Lan family boys as it passed by.
Although it's a second-hand machine, it's still pretty good.
After watching Zhou Jing leave, Lan Baojun first looked at the television set on the counter, then turned to look at Zhang Beichuan.
"Xiao Chuan, why did you buy this TV? We're in business. If you get a TV, won't our shop be packed with customers from morning till night?"
Zhang Beichuan smiled and glanced at the group of people who were already studying where to install the television.
"Baojun, what do you think about us selling some used TVs?"
Lan Baojun's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly lowered his voice.
"Can you get your hands on a TV?"
"Well, if we can't get new ones, getting some secondhand ones is no problem."
Lan Baojun was dumbfounded; he knew Zhang Beichuan had extensive connections.
But to his surprise, his friend in the provincial capital was able to get his hands on such a rare television set.
So what if it's secondhand?
Even if many people have money and tickets, they may not be able to get a number in line at the department store.
Often, the moment a TV set becomes available, before the goods even arrive, it's already been pre-ordered by someone with connections.
"If that's the case, that's wonderful! As soon as the TV arrives, I reckon the whole county will be coming within two days!"
This is not an exaggeration; in the 80s, very few households owned a television.
Often, once one family buys a TV, half the village or even the whole street will rush over to see what's going on.
Moreover, Zhang Beichuan was able to get his hands on a television set that didn't require a ticket.
Once this news gets out, everyone's bound to get excited and come see what's going on.
