Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

At that time, black and white televisions were the mainstream.

Because it's cheap.

Color televisions were also available, but they were absolutely imported.

In short: Expensive!

"Hey……"

Holding the television, Yan Jiefang said, "This television is really heavy... Uncle Lou, how big is it?"

The television was wrapped in a cardboard box, so he couldn't tell it was there, but judging from the size and weight of the box, it was definitely not small.

Director Lou flicked his pipe and said smugly, "Twenty-one inches!"

"So big?"

Everyone was shocked.

Twenty-one inches!

What is this concept.

"Quick, quick...open it so we can see!"

I turned on the TV and saw: Good heavens... it's huge.

It's twice as big as Liu Aiguo's 14-inch size.

That's right!

The 21-inch TV screen is almost twice the size of a 14-inch screen.

It might even be more than two hundred.

"Uncle Lou..." Yan Jiefang asked with envy, "How much does such a big TV set cost?"

Not only Yan Jiefang, but also Yan Jiekuang, Yan Jiedi, Liu Guangfu and others were all looking at Director Lou.

Director Lou smiled and said, "Three thousand six!"

puff……

Upon hearing this price, many people immediately knelt down in shock.

What the hell...

It's really too expensive.

If they can sell those TVs made by Shenlong TV Factory, just buy twelve of them.

This……

expensive!

"Come, come..." Director Lou said, "Help me install it. After dinner, we'll watch TV here!"

"it is good!"

Everyone got excited.

The television was installed in no time, and when I turned it on, it was indeed in color.

Not only are the colors bright, but the clarity is also high.

This is a small neon brand, also a Panasonic brand, but it's not a small 8-inch TV, it's a large color TV.

"Wow...that's huge!"

"Colored ones, that's great!"

"Oh, you can do that? From now on, we'll come to Director Lou's house to watch TV!"

"Hahaha..." Director Lou laughed heartily, "Welcome, welcome..."

He had just arrived at the compound and wanted to gain a foothold here, so naturally he had to please everyone.

After Liu Aiguo's family finished dinner, since there were only two rooms in the house, they couldn't accommodate so many people. So Liu Aiguo instructed the head housekeeper to drive his two sons to the factory.

The accommodations at the factory were not bad; Liu Aiguo had a private rest room there.

It also has a library and a study, everything you need.

With my two sons there and people from the factory protecting me, there's absolutely no chance of anything going wrong.

"Hey... Aiguo is out and about!" Director Lou greeted.

Liu Aiguo said, "You just bought a new big color TV!"

"Yes!" Director Lou said, "Come watch TV when you have time..."

"Okay!" Liu Aiguo casually agreed.

Then he watched his sons leave.

However, letting him watch TV was out of the question; there were more important things to do tonight. Come to think of it, it had been quite a while since he'd given Yu Li his "marital duties" (a euphemism for sexual activity); he couldn't hide it from her today.

……

Dinner is ready!

Suddenly, light snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

The first snow of the second half of 1983 came unexpectedly!

The door to Director Lou's house opened, revealing a warm and cozy heating system inside.

On the 21-inch color TV, the news was playing, and countless people came to their house with bowls in their hands.

It must be said that Director Lou was quite well prepared, even buying a lot of small stools.

Everyone can sit down and watch TV.

"Hey... this is much better than the TV at my family's house... it's so much better than that tiny eight-inch TV of Uncle Yi's!"

"So lovely!"

"We don't even need to go any further!"

Everyone praised it!

At that time, there weren't many entertainment programs on television.

When you finish eating, it's almost always the news broadcast, no matter which channel you choose.

After the evening news, there are programs like crosstalk and storytelling.

Sometimes there's even traditional opera!

These are all things that the old residents of Beijing liked.

Although watching the news can be a bit boring these days, no one gets tired of it.

After all... if you don't watch, you might miss out on the exciting programs that follow.

"Next...a news report from abroad!"

The beautiful host spoke clearly and distinctly, "When the youth are strong, the nation is strong; when the youth are wise, the nation is wise; when the youth are wealthy, the nation is wealthy... What kind of youth deserves our respect the most? What kind of youth are the good youth of the new era!"

"Now, let's see what a young man from Hong Kong has to say!"

Just a few ordinary words!

But Director Lou suddenly raised an eyebrow: "So you're talking about people from Hong Kong?"

then!

The picture on the TV screen changed...

We arrived at an awards ceremony.

light!

stage!

Countless foreigners.

Among the many hosts, there was a kind and friendly host, a beautiful woman who spoke fluent English, and a young man from China who was about 1.5 meters tall, standing proudly.

He walked to the podium and, with an expression of disdain for all living beings, accepted a gold medal from the award presenter.

Director Lou rubbed his eyes: This...this child looks so familiar.

That stance!

How arrogant!

That arrogant demeanor... isn't that Xiaolong kid?

At this moment, the host's voice also began to appear on the television screen.

"According to reports, the International Mathematical Olympiad was recently held in Budapest. The delegation from Hong Kong won the team gold medal, and Liu Xiaolong, the captain of the Hong Kong team, also won the individual gold medal!"

"These two weighty gold medals represent our country's progress in the field of mathematics, and they also represent the tireless pursuit of mathematics by our nation's youth!"

"During his acceptance speech on the podium, Liu Xiaolong said the following..."
