Qian Aiguo has been very busy these days, not only because his family bought a large color TV, but also because the TV station is broadcasting a wonderful Yugoslav TV series "People on the Blacklist".
This thirteen-level black-and-white TV series, which is completely different from "The Garrison Suicide Squad", is still fresh in Huang Han's memory.
I still remember the words "The battle begins, kid!", followed by the opening credits and the passionate music I heard at the time.
The time I watched this TV series was the first semester of fifth grade. Huang Han's academic performance improved by leaps and bounds, and he ranked among the top ten in the class.
This should be the happiest time in childhood memories. With a sewing machine at home, Zhang Fangfen was able to earn a little more money. Huang Daozhou's employer began to pay bonuses, and the family's life improved a little.
This is how people are, just because they no longer need to eat cereals and their life is going uphill, they feel happy and full of hope for the future.
At that time, Huang Hantai loved to watch "The Blacklist" and watched every episode with great concentration. He always hated that the TV series was too short and even shed tears for the dead guerrillas.
"Garrison's Suicide Squad" is actually a World War II drama with immortal heroes and American humor.
However, "The Blacklist" is simply an interpretation of how heroes die gloriously in guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, and is full of the pain of Yugoslavia as a fallen country.
Qian Aiguo bought a color TV. Unfortunately, the TV station broadcast a black and white TV series, which had some flaws, but the particularly clear 21-inch picture still shocked many neighbors.
The reason why it is important to emphasize that the image is particularly clear is because there was no such product as a TV antenna in Sanshui County at that time. If the broadcast signal encountered interference, snowflakes would appear on the TV.
The second day after Huang Han returned home, he asked Qian Aiguo and Cheng Wenge to buy or get materials. On the third day, he handmade three outdoor antennas.
At this time, the aluminum material suitable for TV antennas was not a civilian commodity at all, and there was no place to buy it. However, there were too many of them from Sunshine Electric Factory, because some parts on rice cookers were made of aluminum.
Zodiac Boat has a material system, which is actually helpful for getting supplies that are in short supply. With Cheng Wen Ge and Qian Aiguo, it is really not difficult to assemble something.
Huang Han even asked Cheng Wenge to buy a few used batteries from the intermodal transport company and refurbish them, and connect them with wires and incandescent lamps.
In case of a power outage, Huang Han will definitely reserve emergency power supply, which should be able to ensure that five 25-watt incandescent lamps are lit for four hours.
Of course, Huang Han didn't need to do anything to install the antenna. Cheng Wenge and Qian Aiguo could do it. One thing to note is to remove the outdoor antenna when encountering a thunderstorm. Don't put too much faith in the simple lightning protection device.
Sanshui County is not the area hardest hit by lightning strikes. Thunder disasters in the entire Jiangsu Province are not serious. Only those who were unlucky enough to have their TV set struck by lightning occurred.
The TV set in Qian Aiguo’s country is very clear and very big. The TV set is also the most foreign-looking, and many people are envious of it.
Many relatives, friends and neighbors asked the happy Song Danhua where they could buy a TV set made by Little Devil.
Everyone was even more shocked to learn that this color TV was actually earned by Qian Aiguo when he went to Guangzhou to trade electronic watches. Too many people were envious and jealous, and many young people asked how to trade electronic watches.
Qian Aiguo loved to brag. He told the story of his journey to Guangzhou with ups and downs. Most of it was true, but he exaggerated it several times.
His awesome performance made several young people in the neighborhood become excited and decided to take the risk and run away to Guangzhou.
In the end, although only two people made money and the others lost money, the significance was extraordinary, causing more young people in the "Huangchen Neighborhood Committee" to believe that they could succeed and go to Guangzhou and Shenzhen...
Trees die, people move! In the early 1980s, opportunities were everywhere in China. If young people emancipated their minds and went out early, they would not only be able to break into a new world, but also inspire more people.
Sanshui County's economic strength is increasing, the people's consumption power has increased a lot, the turnover of "Shi Jingcheng Restaurant" has grown steadily, and profits have been rising.
"Xinfeng Clothing and Luggage Factory" produces more and more varieties of ready-made clothes. Because of its western style and good quality, it sells well in Shanghai and has never formed a backlog.
The business of the "Xinfeng Clothing Store" that Yu'er is responsible for has gradually improved, and there are actually many customers from Taizhou City, which is the nearest city to Sanshui County.
In mid-September, Huang Han took time to visit the free market in Sanshui County and then took a look at his own clothing store.
"Xinfeng Clothing Store" currently has only four consultants, which is far below the red line of "eight consultants." This clothing store does not need to be affiliated with a collective unit and is self-employed.
Yu'er was overjoyed to see Huang Han and took her upstairs to have a heart-to-heart talk.
Because several customers who came from Taizhou always complained when chatting with Yu'er, asking why Yu'er couldn't open a clothing store in Taizhou.
They promised that people in Taizhou would definitely like Feng brand clothing, and the business should be even better than in Sanshui County.
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is interested. Yu'er is willing to use her brain and knows that Taizhou City is larger than Sanshui City, with 20,000 to 30,000 more residents, so business will definitely be easier.
She was about to talk to someone about her thoughts when she met Huang Han, and of course she was overjoyed.
Huang Han listened to Yu'er chattering about the cause and effect, smiled, and praised: "Sister Yu'er, you are not only smart but also have business awareness and are good at capturing business opportunities. I agree with you to open a chain store in Taizhou."
"What is a chain store?"
Uh! Isn’t this word used by no one now?
Huang Han explained: "After you have the first store, you open one or several identical stores in another place! Such stores are called chain stores.
The advantage is that the items sold are the same and the prices are similar, so the store's business will always be different, and customers' purchases will be different.
The same clothing may be difficult to sell in this store, but sells quickly in other stores. The stores can cooperate with each other and learn from each other."
"Oh! I understand, I just want to open a chain store! How about I go to Taizhou tomorrow to see if there are any suitable houses for rent!"
"I support you opening a chain store, but I don't support renting a house to open a store!"
"Ah! Are you planning to buy a house?"
"Yes! You go find and negotiate tomorrow. We must ensure that the market is good and the business area cannot be less than fifty square meters!
After finishing the chain stores in Taizhou, I will next consider Yangzhou City, followed by Jingjiang County, Taixing County, and then Xinhua County.
We strive to open new style clothing stores in all counties, cities and districts under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou City by the end of next year."
"Yes! Yes! Our 'Feng' brand clothing has a good reputation. I am confident that we can make the chain store make money! If the store is yours, I will feel more at ease."
"Then what are you waiting for? Just do it, I fully support you, I have the money to buy a house, you don't have to worry!"
Huang Han was happy because he had money on hand and was planning to buy a house. At this time, real estate transactions had begun to become public.
That's because as early as the summer of 1980, the great man made a speech on the issue of urban housing, pointing out that urban residents "can buy houses or build them themselves."
The upper level pointed out that not only the new houses of urban residents can be sold, but also the old houses.
It can be paid in one lump sum or in installments, and it can be paid off in ten or fifteen years. After the house is sold, the rent may have to be adjusted.
Two months later, the central government issued a notice "allowing private individuals to build houses, buy houses by private individuals, and allow private individuals to own their own houses," thus kicking off China's first housing reform.
Many places did not fully implement this policy until 1981. However, with the economic development, house sales gradually increased. Huang Han didn't know much about other places. Anyway, in 1982, private sales of houses in Sanshui County could be transferred.
.
It was Xiao Qiang's mother who saw the red-headed document and knew that the property transfer could be handled, so she immediately notified Zhang Fangfen.
Two months ago, with the help of Xiao Qiang's mother, Huang Han's family paid back taxes and obtained title certificates for the two newly purchased houses. To obtain the property certificate for the old house, you only need to pay the construction fee and do not need to pay taxes.
At this time, if you buy a facade house in the urban commercial streets of counties, cities and districts in Yangzhou, you can get a house of no less than 50 square meters for two to three thousand yuan, and the total price after repair or renovation will not exceed 5,000 yuan.
money.
Even if he doesn't make much money selling clothes, Huang Han can make a lot of money as long as the real estate value increases.
Unexpectedly, Yu'er was even happier than Huang Han. She said: "I'll go look for him tomorrow. I know a few people from Taizhou. They all have good jobs and know a lot of people. It was they who suggested that I go to Taizhou to open a store."
, and said he would help.”
"You look at it first and talk about it first. I will help you take a look when you pay the money and go through the formalities. Don't be afraid that something will go wrong. I can talk to the senior officials in Taizhou."
Huang Han is not bragging, this is not a year ago, and his connections are not trivial. As far as Huang Han knows, Director Qin has comrades who are deputy secretaries in Taizhou, and Qian Guodong also has several friends who are high-ranking cadres in Taizhou.
"I know you are very capable. With the support of you, my eldest aunt, and my eldest uncle, I am not afraid of anyone!"
"Yes! Fair trade, no bullying, nothing to be afraid of."
At this time, there were not many fraud crimes among economic crimes, and the fraud method of forging real estate certificates to sell houses was rare. Anyway, Huang Han would bring two bodyguards, Cheng Wenge and Qian Aiguo, to the scene when the contract payment was finalized.
Why worry about being defrauded?
The chain store must adopt the model of one self-employed business license for each store. Xiuer and several salespersons can become owners, and the red line of "eight workers" will not be exceeded.
Xiao Qiang got her mother's consent and went to school the next day and asked Zhang Chunmei, Liu Xiaoli and Wang Yu to go to Huang Han's house to watch the cartoon series "The Forest" on several Sundays.
This Japanese color TV series cartoon born in 1965 is a classic. China Central Television started broadcasting it in the spring of 1982, with one episode every week. Many Chinese audiences loved it.
To be honest, the current number of color TV sets in Sanshui County is very rare, and most people have never seen a color TV set in their lives.
A group of primary school students learned that they could see the colorful forest emperor, and they all talked about how cute the colorful little white lion Leo was.
Huang Han never watched the cartoon TV series "Astro Boy" when he was a child, because few people in Sanshui County had TV sets in 1980 and 1981, so the first TV cartoon he saw was broadcast in 1982 "The Jungle King" released.
Before three o'clock on Sunday afternoon, more than a dozen male and female classmates, headed by Xiao Qiang, came to Huang Han's house.
Being a teacher has become a habit of Huang Han. He advised his classmates not to be addicted to watching TV, because watching TV will damage their eyesight and affect their academic performance.
Huang Han was not sure whether the children could accept the advice, but he was certain that Zhang Chunmei listened carefully.
Zhang Chunmei actually didn't come to watch TV, she wanted to listen to Huang Han's English tapes.
After a while, Shen Xiaorong came to Huang Han's house accompanied by two female classmates. She spent this time playing "Little Girl Under the Street Lamp" and actively participated in the lyrics creation.
On this day, more than a dozen fifth-grade students from the experimental primary school were shocked, not because they saw the colorful cartoon "The Jungle King".
But without exception, they think "Little Girl Under the Streetlight" may be the best and most cheerful song they have ever heard.
After this day, a little story was circulated in Experimental Primary School.
Many classmates knew that one midnight, Huang Han saw a crying little girl under a streetlight, and he was inspired to write a piece of lyrics.
Shen Xiaorong, the monitor of the May 1st class, once again collaborated with Huang Han to write lyrics and compose the music. After the two of them completed the work together, they sent it to Teacher Qiu for reading. Teacher Qiu greatly praised it and gave many suggestions for revision.
Regarding the story of "The Little Girl Under the Street Lamp", Qian Aiguo told it most vividly.
