90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn

Chapter 311 Affordable

The day after Xiao Cheng went to Guangdong Province, Yu Xiaoling and Yang Sisi came to ask Bai Lu to fill in her volunteer application at school.

 Also accompanied by Yu Dongxu.

The scorching sun was baking the earth like a big fireball. There was no wind at all, and the air was filled with billowing heat waves. From a distance, the streets seemed to be smoking.

The moss on the corners of the bluestone road is all gone, the grass is gone, and an egg can be cooked on the ground.

When a person walks on the road, it is like being roasted on a stove, until the hair is smoking, and the dehydrated and hot skin is a warning, and if it continues to be exposed to the sun, it will become dry.

Had it not been for the umbrella in her hand, Bai Lu suspected that she would have been roasted to death. After all, she was already in the sauna.

Xiao Cheng went to Guangdong Province to discuss cooperation this time, and air conditioners and refrigerators were also included. I really hope he can get them back soon.

“Eunuch Sun, this love is too passionate, I really don’t want it! I’m almost dying of heat…”

Yu Xiaoling didn’t dare to move the umbrella at all, for fear of smoke coming from above her head, and her hands wiping sweat were almost burned.

 But who can refuse the "goodwill" of Father-in-law the Sun? Even if he doesn't make you hot-headed, it can't prove how kind he is and how selfless and great his love is.

 Love everything in the world more.

 “It would be nice if there was air conditioning.”

Yang Sisi’s face was also flushed by the heat, and her mouth was filled with steam: “With air conditioning, no matter how bright the sun is outside, the house is as cool as in autumn.”

“There is such a magical thing!” Yu Xiaoling’s eyes lit up: “What is an air conditioner?”

Yang Sisi is not very clear: "It should be a machine that can blow cool air at home. I saw it on TV a few days ago, when the TV was playing family dramas.

"It is also the dog days of summer in family dramas. The streets in the city are so hot that they are smoking. The heroine goes to buy groceries. Her clothes are soaked with sweat and her face is red from the sun. When she gets home, she says she wants to turn on the air conditioner. .

“The heroine took the remote control, which is the same as the remote control we use to turn on the TV. After pressing it for a while, her red face immediately returned to normal, and she fell asleep soon after lying on the sofa. It was obviously very cool and comfortable...

Yu Xiaoling also has a TV at home, which Wen Xiuyun and Yu Fugui bought at Xiao Cheng’s store.

But Yu Xiaoling doesn’t usually watch family dramas, preferring to watch martial arts dramas, and Yu Dongxu also likes to watch martial arts dramas.

Wen Xiuyun and Yu Fugui are keen on how to make their fruit business better and better, and their lives will be better. They have no obsession with televisions, so they just follow their children.

 So, even if Yu Xiaoling has a TV at home, he really doesn’t know that there is such a thing as an air conditioner.

But it didn’t hinder them. When the brother and sister heard something related to electrical appliances, they immediately thought of Xiao Cheng’s electrical appliance store.

 The second time, I thought of the proprietress of the electrical appliance store, who was next to me——

 “Bai Lu!”

Yu Xiaoling’s eyes shone brightly and she stared straight at the proprietress: “Bai Lu, does your electrical appliance store sell air conditioners? Is the air conditioner really that good?”

Yu Dongxu also looked at Bai Lu expectantly. Hot sweat dripped from his forehead and he forgot to wipe it off.

Yang Sisi finally remembered that Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu were husband and wife. Xiao Cheng sold electrical appliances, which meant that Bai Lu also sold electrical appliances.

“I heard that you are going to build a new home. The new home has a new look. You are going to buy a lot of new furniture, right?”

 “Is there air conditioning or something?”

Bai Lu didn't expect to fill in the application form, but business came to her door, so she immediately opened her sales pitch: "Yes." "The air conditioner is really a good thing. It is installed in the room. It only takes less than half an hour to turn it on. The whole room will be very cool, even if it is hot outside." Even when there is smoke, the room can be as cool as autumn. If you like it to be colder, you can also adjust the low temperature and just cover yourself with a quilt when you sleep at night to survive the winter.

“Xiao Cheng went to Guangdong Province yesterday to discuss cooperation. He will bring the goods back within three days. Not only is there an air conditioner, but there is also a refrigerator. The fruit will be delicious if frozen in the refrigerator.

“You can also buy some popsicle ice cream and freeze it yourself. You can eat it whenever you want. New air conditioners and refrigerators will be available at the electronics store in the city. You can go and have a look with your companions.”

Yu Xiaoling could already imagine a bright future as she listened to the description of Bai Lu's beautiful voice.

She was holding ice cream in one hand and the remote control in the other. She was sitting comfortably on the sofa, enjoying the cool breeze, eating ice cream and watching the martial arts drama "The Immortal Life".

marvelous!

 You need an air conditioner and a refrigerator!

“Isn’t the air conditioner very expensive?” Yang Sisi stopped Yu Xiaoling’s crazy excitement with just one sentence.

The town is not rich, and buying a TV will take up all your savings, leaving no money left to buy good things.

 Those who do business on the street have a little extra money.

 But excluding Wen Xiuyun and Yu Fugui.

 Because, the money the couple earned from selling sugar-roasted chestnuts not long ago has been spent on buying an electric chestnut stir-frying machine. Now, it is possible that the money has been recovered.

As for how much money they earned, Yu Xiaoling and Yu Dongxu don’t know. They probably can’t afford an air conditioner.

Yu Xiaoling asked Bai Lu cautiously: "We have never heard of the air conditioners that are only shown on TV, and there are none in the city. Air conditioners are good things that only rich families in big cities can afford. Can we afford them?"

Bai Lu gave her a reassuring look: "I can afford it."

The most expensive period of air conditioning was in the 1980s and before. Only wealthy families could afford it. Ordinary families could not afford it even if they spent half their life savings.

 Luckily, the late 1990s they are living in now is an era of great competition among domestic enterprises.

 From 1992 to 1995, many new air conditioner brands were added in the country and began to promote popular trends.

 From 1995 to 2000, competition among major manufacturing enterprises was fierce, and large-scale price wars frequently broke out.

 Some companies that triggered the "air-conditioning war" even adopted strategies such as "want the market, not profit", which caused the price of domestic air-conditioning to drop rapidly. During the period of fierce competition, there were even "several hundred yuan air conditioners".

The night before Xiao Cheng set off, Bai Lu talked to him that he could pay more attention to the air-conditioning market outside.

  It is not necessary to cooperate with the electrical appliance manufacturer that produces TVs. Although, if everything is cooperated with the same manufacturer, after-sales service and other aspects will be more convenient.

 However, there are big brand electrical appliance manufacturers with lower prices, guarantees, and good reputations, so separate cooperation is more suitable.

Even if there is no price war of "a few hundred yuan for air conditioners", it is still more profitable than the original price of an electrical appliance manufacturer.

 After all, making money is the big deal.

 The way of doing business since ancient times has been to pursue profits. There is no need to lose big profits for the useless friendship of drinks at the wine table.

Drinking is drinking, and making money is making money. If the former can bring benefits to the latter, there is no harm in drinking two more drinks.

If not, the best option is to decisively switch to cooperation.

 “I want to save money to buy an air conditioner!”

Yu Xiaoling absolutely believed what the lady boss Bailu said: "After I fill out my application form, my brother and I will go to help my parents sell fruits and sugar-roasted chestnuts. We will be able to buy air conditioners and a large refrigerator soon!"
