Chapter 740: Dividing Home Appliances
After the students got off the train, they immediately organized themselves into a team, stood in front of the train, and took a group photo.
The same clothes and bags make them look energetic.
Wang Tiedan felt that this was official operation and it would most likely appear in the newspaper tomorrow.
With this attitude, he might even be received by senior leaders.
There were many parents who came to pick up their students. Like Wang Tiedan and his friends, they could only wait and watch the students get on the bus and go to school.
Many people followed him, but Wang Tiedan chose to go home.
He also left with the bus he rented.
By this time, it was evening.
At some point, Wang Tiedan also became an old father waiting for his children to return, standing at the intersection, looking eagerly ahead.
Finally, he saw a group of children running towards him, and he was delighted.
At the same time, Dahan's family, Shouhou's family, Liang Tingyu's family, Grandma Yang, Aunt Ma, and others, all breathed a sigh of relief.
After a brief greeting, everyone got on the bus and headed directly to Fengze Garden.
There's no way, there are too many people and there's no room for everyone at home.
If you want to eat in the cool, you can only go to a restaurant.
A dinner party completely becomes the children's home ground.
Everyone listened to the children talk about what they saw, felt and experienced in Hong Kong.
Especially the cultural performances.
Everyone knows that when the children have nothing to do, they will go to Wang Tiedan’s basement to learn music. Everyone thought it was just a joke, but no one expected that they would amaze everyone in Hong Kong.
All the parents were excited when they learned that their children's performances might be on TV.
Of course, many people are also looking forward to the color TV and air conditioner that Wang Tiedan mentioned.
It is easy to go from extravagance to frugality, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
After enjoying the cool breeze in the restaurant, no one wanted the children toss and turn in the scorching heat.
After knowing that color TVs are clearer and better for children's eyes, people do have a little dislike for black and white TVs.
Fortunately, after waiting for another day, each family can get one or two machines.
The meal was eaten very slowly, and it was not until the moon was high in the sky that everyone went home happily together.
The next day was Sunday and the workers had a day off.
When air conditioners and color TV sets were transported into Yard 95, they not only attracted onlookers from the yard, but also alarmed people from the street office and police station.
Although reform and opening up have been implemented, speculation and profiteering are still serious crimes that the police crack down on.
So many electrical appliances, worth tens of thousands of dollars, that is a felony.
"How many units are there? How much do they cost?"
"I counted them. Fourteen color TVs and ten air conditioners. That's at least fifty thousand dollars."
"My goodness, isn't Wang Tiedan too rich?"
“He does have money~”
Wang Tiedan didn't care about what people said and just wanted to be high-profile. He took a pen and marked the destination of the electrical appliances on the cardboard box.
Skinny Monkey’s house has two color TVs and two air conditioners.
Dahan's family has two color TVs and two air conditioners.
My eldest sister's family, my second brother's family, and the whole village can each have a color TV and an air conditioner, and if that is not enough, we can get more.
I need two color TVs at home, but I already have air conditioners.
Next is the yard. Uncle Meng and Uncle Lin each have a color TV. Forget about air conditioning as it affects the voltage.
The remaining electrical appliances are not useless. After the Chinese New Year, most commercial activities in the city will be resumed, but they may not be enough by then.
"Jinbao, Jinyao, go to your uncle Dahan's house and your uncle Hou's house and ask them to push a cart over and take the electrical appliances away."
"Okay, Dad~"
"Xingguo, Aiguo, you two should take a color TV back home~"
"Tiedan, I can't bear to part with it. It's too expensive!" Aunt Ma saw that they still had one at home and quickly refused.
This is not a joke. An 18-inch color TV now costs yuan, and there is no ticket available. It is simply not affordable for ordinary people.
Wang Tiedan didn't care either.
"Aunt Ma, this is not for you. I'll put it in your house and use it first. It's not for you. I'll ask you for it when I need it. Xingguo, Aiguo, move quickly! Listen to me."
"Oh~Okay, Brother Tiedan~"
Lin Xingguo and Lin Aiguo knew Wang Tiedan's temper and didn't be polite.
Wang Tiedan looked at Erya and Maomao from Uncle Meng's family again.
"You two, don't be idle. Hurry up and get a color TV~"
"Okay~"
This time Aunt Zhao didn't refuse.
This scene made the other residents in the courtyard cry with envy.
If I had known that Wang Tiedan would have such a prosperous future, I would have taken care of him back then.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.
Seeing that nearly half of the electrical appliances in the courtyard were still there and Wang Tiedan did not mark where to send them, many people in the courtyard immediately became interested.
Among them are Yan Bugui and Qin Huairu.
However, before they could open their mouths, people from the police station and the street office came.
At this time, Director Wang of the Street Office had retired, and the new director was the former deputy director, Shen Fengxia. Director Zhang of the police station was promoted, and he was replaced by a newly transferred director named Huang.
"Comrade Wang Tiedan, you can't make any mistakes~" Director Shen said with a smile.
"Yes, you can buy it, but don't speculate on it." Director Huang also joked.
"Director Shen, Director Huang, how come even you are alarmed?"
Wang Tiedan's rank was equivalent to the local department or bureau level, and was not lower than the other two, so he was very casual.
"Hey, you're shipping boxes of electrical appliances home, just like you're buying goods from a department store. We'd be worried if we didn't come and take a look."
"Well, it's a good opportunity for you to come too. So, I'll donate a color TV and an air conditioner to the street office and the police station respectively, and you can just take them away."
Wang Tiedan said this and handed the purchasing documents to the two men.
It is clearly marked above that the items were purchased in Hong Kong, went through customs normally, and were for personal use. There was no reselling involved.
"No, no, it's too valuable!"
"We have policies, and we cannot do without taking even a single needle or thread from the people."
Director Shen and Director Huang both refused.
At that time, the domestic donation laws and procedures were not yet perfect, and there were concerns about bribery, but Wang Tiedan was not aware of it.
“However, if there are any left, we can purchase a few.”
"Yes, I came here to ask if I can buy an air conditioner."
"Okay~ Let me take a look."
Wang Tiedan counted them.
"There are still four color TVs and four air conditioners left. I'll give them to you at the purchase price. Is that okay?"
"Forget about the color TV, just air conditioning will do."
"Our company also wants air conditioning."
"Okay, then these four, you can divide them among yourselves, and take them away now."
"Then we'll each have two."
"Okay, let's do it~"
Before Director Huang and Director Shen arranged for people to move out, the families of Dahan and Shouhou pushed carts into the yard and were pleasantly surprised to see the air conditioners and color TVs.
"Okay, Tiedan, they are all branded goods. You got them all. That's amazing!"
"Move quickly, move quickly, don't be polite, go home and enjoy the air conditioning."
"You don't need my help to install it, right?" Wang Tiedan asked.
"No, no, don't you see what kind of soldier I am? It's too easy for me."
Neither family was polite. They loaded the items into the car and drove away.
Seeing that four more electrical appliances were missing, the residents in the courtyard couldn't help but feel jealous again.
They knew that whatever Wang Tiedan bought, the Hou and Wu families would get a share, and he never went back on his word.
Many people have experienced air conditioning and know how cool it is, but at three thousand yuan, they really can’t afford it.
Of course, a color TV costs fifteen hundred yuan, which is beyond the reach of most people.
However, most of the black-and-white TVs that have been replaced by color TVs have only been used for two or three years, so it seems worth considering.
