Chapter 202
On the third day of the first lunar month, relatives started to visit each other, and the number of people visiting Meng Haisheng's home gradually decreased.
In Xiashan Village, people visit their mother's home on the third and fourth days of the first lunar month. If they don't visit their mother's home, their peers will also make plans to visit each other on these two days.
Because from the fifth day of the first lunar month, it is the time for cousins to visit each other, and then it will be very busy.
Qu Dayong had no relatives visiting on the third and fourth days of the first lunar month, so he drove to Meng Haisheng's home to visit.
"Dayong, whose jeep did you borrow? It's not painful to drive someone else's every few days."
Meng Haisheng let Qu Dayong into the house and poured him a cup of hot tea.
"It belongs to my cousin. He is a small leader on the railway. He has his own car, and he doesn't drive this jeep very often."
"Dayong, your relatives are more powerful than each other."
Meng Haisheng actually learned about Qu Dayong's family situation. On the surface, Qu Dayong's relatives are all in business, and there are relatively few in politics.
But judging from Qu Dayong's actions, his relatives are still very powerful.
"My family still has some face in Quyang County, but it's gone when we go to my grandfather's place."
"By the way, Brother Haisheng, I have something happy to tell you."
Qu Dayong smiled and told Meng Haisheng about the incident of dealing with Song Dali before the New Year.
Song Dali and Jian Yue slandered Meng Haisheng's cram school outside, causing many parents to question their cram school.
Qu Dayong was not in a hurry. When Song Dali sold tens of thousands of yuan of classes and was preparing to have a good year, Qu Dayong took action.
He first exposed that the teachers Song Dali found were all elementary school teachers, and then exposed that the English teacher himself was not good at English.
The children who come to the cram school are all here to improve their academic performance. Letting elementary school teachers teach junior high school courses, isn't this fooling the children?
If they are taught wrongly, coming to the cram school will not improve their grades but lower their grades.
So early in the morning on New Year's Eve, many parents went directly to Song Dali and asked for a refund.
Song Dali's home was a house allocated by the company. There were so many people crowded in front of his house that Song Dali almost exploded on the spot. He also wanted to save face.
"Brother Haisheng, you didn't see the scene at that time. I'm afraid that everyone in the staff community ran out to watch the excitement."
"Is it over like this?"
Meng Haisheng looked at Qu Dayong curiously.
"How is that possible? I took advantage of the crowd and came out to make another move."
"I told all the parents who were making trouble that after the Chinese New Year, only our cram school would use some of the textbooks and test papers from Ninggang City."
"Song Dali has never had any contact with Ninggang City. What did he use to exchange for textbooks after the Chinese New Year?"
"After I said that, all the parents who just followed along and didn't make much trouble couldn't sit still. They all asked Song Dali to return the money. If he didn't return the money, they would go to the public security bureau to sue Song Dali for fraud."
"You didn't see that Song Dali wanted to die."
"The money he just got was not even warm yet, but he gave it all away."
"I guess this will affect his reputation in the unit. When he goes back to work in the first month of the year, Song Dali will suffer."
"Dayong, you did a good job. You killed your competitor with one move and left him without any chance to fight back."
Watching Qu Dayong recount the whole incident with a beaming face.
Meng Haisheng was finally relieved. He liked to do things cleanly and without dragging his feet. Qu Dayong was also brave and resourceful.
Qu Dayong had passed this test.
Meng Haisheng simply told Qu Dayong about his plan to resell second-hand home appliances.
Not to mention other places, there were very few people in Quyang County who could buy a TV.
First, the price was too expensive. A black and white TV, a small 12-inch TV, cost 440 yuan, and it was hard to get one.
If it was a slightly larger color TV, it would be even more expensive. The cheapest one would cost 998.
At such a price, let alone ordinary working-class families, even factory cadres would not be willing to buy it.
Second, no matter what kind of TV, it was extremely difficult to buy.
Ordinary families could not get TV tickets at all. Occasionally, the factory would reward outstanding employees and give one or two TV tickets.
Those who could get TV tickets were like winning the lottery.
In this case, TV became a luxury.
In his previous life, Meng Haisheng went south and suffered a lot before he learned the craft of repairing second-hand TVs from his master.
It was this skill that allowed him to gain a foothold in Pengcheng and lay a solid foundation for his business empire by relying on the second-hand home appliance business.
At that time, he didn't have much money and it was very difficult to start his business.
But now it's different. He has money and people, so why worry about starting slowly?
Meng Haisheng imported second-hand TVs from Hong Kong Island. Not only was he not restricted by TV tickets, but he also made a lot of money.It is often considerable.
Take a 12-inch black-and-white TV for example. Hong Kong Island has begun to phase out black-and-white TVs on a large scale. An 80% new black-and-white TV costs less than 100 yuan.
Meng Haisheng can sell it for at least 350 yuan after packing it up and shipping it to Quyang County in a cardboard box.
Although this price is still quite high, Meng Haisheng has no worries about selling it because he doesn't need a ticket.
As for the broken ones, they are even more profitable. The broken black-and-white TVs can be collected for at most 20 yuan. If there are a lot of them, Meng Haisheng can even collect them as waste plastics.
He only needs to replace a part and repair it, and then sell it for 280 or 290 yuan. The net profit of one TV can be at least more than 200 yuan.
Such huge profits are completely unimaginable at the moment.
Of course, Meng Haisheng will not tell Qu Dayong all these things. It's not that he doesn't trust him, but he is afraid of scaring Qu Dayong. After all, the profit is a bit scary.
"Brother Haisheng, is this reliable? Hong Kong Island is so small, how can there be so many second-hand TVs?"
Qu Dayong actually doesn't know much about the outside world. In his impression, Hong Kong Island is similar to foreign countries.
As for the development of the other side, he knows nothing.
"No matter how small Hong Kong Island is, it is enough for me to deal in second-hand TVs."
"Okay, Brother Haisheng, just tell me what you want to do."
"After the New Year, I will go to Pengcheng Special Zone. There are people there who specialize in second-hand TV business. All you need to do is help me get two train cars."
"It's too far to transport from Pengcheng to our place by land. A carload of TVs may be broken before they arrive. Only by train is it safe."
In addition to the long and bumpy journey, the more important thing is that it is unsafe. The last time I went to Jingnan City, there were all kinds of problems on the road. If I go to Pengcheng, I don't know what will happen.
"If you help me with this, I won't let you work in vain. If you have a way to sell TVs, I'll give you 30 yuan off for each one."
"Brother Haisheng, you are being too polite. You have taken me to run a cram school, and I have made a lot of money. I won't interfere with your TV business."
"If you trust me, take me to Pengcheng Special Zone to see the world, and I will be very satisfied."
Meng Haisheng nodded gently. Sure enough, he was right. Qu Dayong was a man worth cooperating with.
