Rebirth: Return to 1991 to be the richest man

Chapter 2 The era of turmoil

"Row."

Chen Jianghai took the radio with a smile and asked the old man for a screwdriver.

He first opened the battery box. The battery inside was quite new and should still have power.

After opening the interior and inspecting it, Chen Jianghai discovered the problem.

It turned out that the internal antenna was loose. This is very simple to repair, and you don’t need to buy any accessories.

"Uncle, do you have any aluminum sheets at home?" Chen Jianghai asked.

"Aluminum sheet? There is really no such thing." The uncle was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"Do you have any Jianlibao bottles?"

"Have."

"Do you have a soldering iron?"

"There's one next door. I'll borrow it."

Chen Jianghai took the bottle of Jianlibao and looked at the label on it, feeling very nostalgic as he would no longer be able to drink this product.

Later, although I regained my health and gave birth again, it was no longer the same.

Borrowing scissors, Chen Jianghai cut two small aluminum pieces from the bottle.

Chen Jianghai disassembled the radio, replaced the two small aluminum pieces that were originally connected to the antenna, and reinstalled the radio.

squeak...

Soon, a sizzling sound came from the radio.

Chen Jianghai shook the antenna and then started to adjust the channel.

"On August 8th, BEYOND will hold a concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum. This..."

The sound was not very clear and was always mixed with rustling sounds, but the uncle was very happy to hear it.

"Uncle, how's it going? Is it repaired?" Chen Jianghai asked with a smile.

The uncle happily took the radio and took out a dollar: "Okay, young man, then, I'll give you the money."

Chen Jianghai took the money and held it tightly in his hand.

This can be regarded as the first money he earned after his rebirth, which is quite memorable.

"By the way, young man, there is something wrong with my TV, can you fix it?"

The uncle asked suddenly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Let me consider."

The old man's family is in good condition. Chen Jianghai raised his eyebrows slightly and responded cautiously.

The uncle took Chen Jianghai into the house. There was a black and white TV on the wardrobe, covered with a thick patterned cloth.

Chen Jianghai kindly reminded: "Uncle, please don't put cloth on top of the TV series!"

"Aren't you afraid of falling dust? Put a cloth to block it." The uncle couldn't help but explain.

Chen Jianghai grinned: "Hey, uncle, the heat dissipation of this TV depends entirely on the small holes in the back. If you cover it all, it will affect its heat dissipation and accelerate its aging."

"Okay, I listen to you, take it away now." The uncle obviously recognized that Chen Jianghai was an expert and followed the good example, so he reached out and took the cloth away.

Then I plugged in the power and turned on the TV series. I saw a vertical bright line on the right side of the screen.

"Although this line doesn't affect your viewing, it's a bit annoying to look at." The uncle pointed and said helplessly.

Chen Jianghai, who was experienced, suddenly had three possibilities for the malfunction flashing through his mind.

But which one it is, you have to turn on the TV and check to be sure.

Skillfully dismantling the back case of the TV, Chen Jianghai quickly found the cause. One of the solder joints fell off.

It just so happens that the soldering iron hasn't been returned yet, so repairing it will be easier.

"Uncle, the prices for repairing TVs and radios are quite different." Chen Jianghai, who knew what was going on, raised his head and said.

The uncle is a shrewd man and has been observing carefully.

After he was sure that Chen Jianghai did have a job on his hands and it looked like it could be repaired, he said cheerfully: "Young man, please give me a price!"

"Five yuan." Chen Jianghai extended a slap in the face, neatly.

Regarding this price, the uncle did not bargain and agreed on the spot.

A few minutes later, Chen Jianghai resoldered all the suspected problem areas and then turned on the TV.

At this time, the bright line on the screen has disappeared and everything is back to normal.

On the TV, Zhao Yazhi's version of "Beijing" was playing. Chen Jianghai took one look and lost interest.Having seen later generations of LCD rear projection, watching black and white TV at this time is boring.

"Young man, you are really good at this!" The uncle gave a thumbs up and admired sincerely.

Chen Jianghai chuckled: "Uncle, if any relatives or friends have problems with electrical appliances in the future, they can come to me. My name is Chen Jianghai, and my charges are absolutely fair."

"Okay!" Looking at the repaired TV, the uncle smiled and responded repeatedly.

Just when Chen Jianghai was about to leave, the uncle suddenly spoke again.

"By the way, Xiao Chen, I still have an old radio here. Can you repair it?"

"Let's take a look." Chen Jianghai said with a smile, probably able to read the uncle's mind.

Later, the uncle took out an old radio from the house, with many places on it rusted.

"It's been broken for several years. Do you think it can be repaired?" the uncle said with a smile.

Chen Jianghai took it and looked at it for a few times, then shook his head: "Repairing it requires a lot of parts, so you can basically buy a new one."

The uncle was obviously a little disappointed after hearing this.

At this moment, Chen Jianghai suddenly said: "Uncle, I can accept this, but will you sell it?"

"How much?" the uncle asked subconsciously.

"Um...two dollars."

Chen Jianghai stretched out two fingers and quoted the price.

"Too little!" The uncle looked reluctant.

Chen Jianghai immediately said: "I haven't seen this brand of radios often. I want to buy one and take it apart to see the structure inside. If it doesn't work, forget it."

The uncle who was hesitant at first said quickly: "No, no, take the two dollars!"

A radio that was so damaged that it couldn't be used would cost at most fifty cents if sold as junk.

If you can sell it for 2 yuan now, no fool would do it!
Chen Jianghai generously took out the money and left with the old radio.

"Uncle, if any friends want to repair electrical appliances or sell used electrical appliances in the future, you can come to me. I hang around here, and the price is absolutely cheap. If you can't repair it, you won't have to pay."

Looking at the radio in his hand, Chen Jianghai had a cheerful smile on his face.

Can you be unhappy?

I repaired the radio for the old man and earned 1 yuan. I repaired his TV and earned another 5 yuan. Then I spent 2 yuan to buy his old radio.

All in all, I bought the old man’s equipment with his money.

You can make nothing but money inside and out.

On the value of technology!
Technology changes destiny!
Chen Jianghai knows very well that if he wants to make money in this era, relying on technology is the best way.

Although maintenance can make money, the speed is too slow.

Now is the era of reform and opening up, which allows individual businesses. Many people have broken old electrical appliances at home. They can take them over, dismantle them, reassemble them, and then sell them.

I don’t know about other places, but at least no one in Linghai is doing this business. It’s like Chen Jianghai has a monopoly.

How profitable a monopoly business is, will be known to future generations.

With the radio under his arm, Chen Jianghai happily went to the vegetable market in Yangqiaokou, planning to buy some food and prepare a good meal when he went back.

Lin Wanqiu, his wife in his previous life, did not even take a bite of the food he cooked until she left this world in despair.

In this life, all changes begin with this meal!

"Boss, cut two pounds of pork belly for me."

In front of the meat stall, Chen Jianghai said loudly.

In the 90s, the days of ticket shopping and limited supply are gradually gone forever. As long as you have money, you can buy meat and grain.

The stall owner was stunned. Most of the people who came here to buy meat were buying lean meat or fatty meat. There were really not many people buying pork belly.

"It's just over two kilograms, you can get it for three yuan."

The boss cut it into pieces, weighed it, and quickly tied the meat with a rope.

Hearing this price, Chen Jianghai couldn't help but secretly gasped.

People who have never experienced it may find it difficult to imagine that this pork only sells for one dollar and a half!
More than 20 years later, this thing will weigh at least 31 pounds!
It has increased nearly twenty times.

Sadly, wage increases are pitifully low and cannot keep up with rising prices.

In his previous life, Chen Jianghai did not cherish the people around him and worked hard in a down-to-earth manner, and eventually became destitute and lonely.

In this life, Chen Jianghai decided to change his way of life and start a completely different life.
