Chapter 200 I am dedicating myself to my country!
"Our electric bicycle costs 1280 yuan."

When the waiter heard Li Changhe asking the price, he smiled and quoted the price.

"Changhe, what are you looking at?"

Zhu Lin, who had been strolling around with Gong Xue, also came over at this time and asked Li Changhe curiously.

“This, an electric car!”

Li Changhe pointed at the car on display and said with a smile.

"Electric car?"

"Brother-in-law, what is an electric car?"

"It's a car that's driven by an electric motor and runs on electricity!"

"By the way, can you guys try riding it?"

Li Changhe thought for a moment and asked the salesperson.

He didn't know how good the electric cars of this era were. Although the quality of the products in the 1980s were all good, Li Changhe thought he should still give it a try.

"This"

The salesperson thought about it, then turned to the engineer named Ichiro Sanben and asked a few questions.

I saw Sanbenichiro nodded, and then talked a lot.

"Comrade, Mr. Sanben said there is an open space behind the warehouse. You can go there and try it."

The waiter said to Li Changhe.

Li Changhe nodded, then smiled and said to Zhu Lin: "Let's go and try this. If it's light, we'll buy one."

Afterwards, Ichiro Sanbon and the salesperson led the way and led Li Changhe and the others to the backyard.

"Girl, are these Japanese products new?"

Li Changhe asked curiously at this time.

This product is displayed in the middle of the hall, it is obviously a new product.

The salesperson nodded: "Yes, the foreign trade company just imported a batch of new products from Japan, and this electric car is a new product that just arrived."

"Come to think of it, you are the first wave of interested customers."

Ichiro Sanbon on the side also started talking incoherently at this moment.

The salesperson hesitated for a moment, then said to Li Changhe, "Mr. Sanben said that your two wives are very beautiful and outstanding women, and are very suitable for riding that kind of electric bike."

"This is my lover, and this is my sister. We in mainland China practice monogamy."

Li Changhe said calmly at this time.

The salesperson nodded and then translated it again to Ichiro Sanbon.

Then, Ichiro Sanbon strode to the front of Li Changhe and the others, turned around, bowed deeply, and talked a lot.

"Mr. Sanben said he was sorry. He thought you were from Hong Kong Island because there is still a tradition of polygamy there. He misunderstood your identities."

"Tell him that Hong Kong Island also abolished polygamy in 1972."

Then Ichiro Sanbon bowed and apologized again, and Li Changhe was too lazy to care.

Zhu Lin and Gong Xue followed behind. Zhu Lin watched Sanbon Ichiro bowing with great interest, while Gong Xue blushed a little.

Why am I always misunderstood as Li Changhe’s lover?

Obviously Sister Zhu Lin was following, this stupid Japanese, what do you mean by two wives, this is not the Republic of China.

When they arrived at the warehouse, Sanben Ichiro seemed to go look for a car, and Zhu Lin asked curiously: "Changhe, how come this little devil can bow so well?"

"Cough cough!"

The salesperson next to him couldn't help coughing twice when he heard Zhu Lin's address, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

She knew that there were many Japanese who understood Chinese behind the Friendship Store.

"Okay, don't call me that. He is an international friend now. I will tell you the details when I get back."

Li Changhe said with a smile.

When Zhu Lin heard his words, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

I don’t know who it is, but she calls the little devil like this every day at home. If she wasn’t influenced by Li Changhe, would she have shouted like this?
Not long after, Ichiro Sanben came over pushing a white electric car and carrying two helmets.

The salesperson then translated and said, "Mr. Ichiro Sanben feels very rude about your behavior just now, so if you two buy a bike, he is willing to give you two cycling helmets as gifts."

"Try the car first!"

Li Changhe said calmly, it's just two helmets, it's not like he can't afford them.

Afterwards, the salesperson told Li Changhe how to ride, and Li Changhe learned it immediately.

"Come on, try it out and see if this bike is easy to ride."

Li Changhe said to Zhu Lin.

Zhu Lin had been eager to try it out, and with Li Changhe's guidance, he quickly learned it.

“This electric bike is really fun to ride!”

If you can ride a bicycle, you can naturally ride an electric bike, Zhu Lin said happily after riding around and coming back.

There is no need to pedal, and the speed is not slow. Nowadays, electric vehicles can reach a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.

"Xiaoxue, come and try!"

At this time, Zhu Lin waved to Gong Xue, and Gong Xue on the side also looked at him with envy.

"Does she dare to ride this?"

Li Changhe hesitated. This girl could break her wrist just by riding a bicycle. How could this electric bike...
"Don't underestimate her. She has already learned how to ride a bicycle these days. There will be no problem."

“This car is no different from a bicycle.”

Under Zhu Lin's guidance, Gong Xue also bravely got on the bike and rode around quickly.

“So light!”

After riding it, Gong Xue also felt that it was convenient and more stable than riding a bicycle.

"Then let's buy one and ride it back later."

Since you think it is light, you will definitely buy one. This way, whether you are going from the Overseas Chinese Apartment to the Staff Quarters or to Xiaoxitian, it will be convenient to have this electric car.

When they heard Li Changhe ask to buy, both the salesperson and Ichiro Sanbon showed happy expressions on their faces.

The salesperson was delighted with the big order, an order for 1200 yuan in foreign exchange coupons, which was indeed very good.

Ichiro Sanbon was pleasantly surprised to have customers. The company had trained them before they came. Those who could buy things at the Friendship Store in China at that time were not ordinary people, so good relationships must be maintained.

This was also the reason why he apologized repeatedly before. People from Beijing who could enter the Friendship Store to buy things must have sufficient status and connections.

Although they may not be able to use it now, they will definitely be able to use it in the future.

They have used this tactic time and again in the Southeast Asian market.

Li Changhe paid the money, and then learned how to charge the electric car and battery. The battery can be disassembled, but it is not light. It is okay for Li Changhe, but it is very heavy for a girl like Zhu Lin.

From now on, the task of charging will definitely be given to Li Changhe.

After buying these, Li Changhe parked the car there and continued shopping with Zhu Lin and Gong Xue.

Walking from the first floor to the fourth floor, you will see a wide variety of products.

Foreign clothes, skirts, Adidas and Nike sportswear and sneakers, etc. are all in there.

In addition, there are various electrical appliances, such as televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, etc.

Zhu Lin and the others were dazzled by the choice.

At this time, Zhu Lin started shopping.

Big TV, buy it!
Refrigerator, buy!

Washing machine, buy!
But when it came to the air conditioning, Li Changhe stopped her.

Because the air conditioners of this era are basically window-type air conditioners, where the air outlet and fan are integrated, like a long box, and then you have to make a big hole in the window to insert the air conditioner.

It's like a super-enlarged version of the household exhaust fan of later generations.

Why did Li Changhe know so clearly? Because he had seen it in Hong Kong Island. Many residential buildings in Hong Kong Island were equipped with this type of air conditioner, which was not only ugly when stuck on the windows, but also very noisy.

This type of window air conditioner is popular in Europe and the United States. It can save space, but the user experience is not good.

In comparison, Li Changhe knew that Benzi already had split-type air conditioners at that time.

Split-type air conditioners are the type commonly used in later generations. The fan and air conditioner are separated, and the fan noise is outside.

He had seen this in a shopping mall on Hong Kong Island.

"This type of air conditioner is too noisy. We won't buy it."

"Hello, do you have split air conditioners like those in Japan? Toshiba or Panasonic will do."

Li Changhe asked with a smile to the salesperson selling air conditioners.

Hearing Li Changhe's question, the salesperson looked at him in surprise.

"You really have what you're talking about. It just arrived a few days ago, but the price is very expensive. Are you sure you want to see it?"

"Well, just buy that kind."

Li Changhe nodded and said without hesitation.

"Comrade, that one will cost more than 10,000 foreign exchange certificates."

As if afraid that Li Changhe didn't know, the salesperson hesitated for a moment and reminded him again.

Li Changhe smiled and nodded: "I know!"

In this era, split air conditioners are considered Japan's high-tech products and are expanding around the world.

As their exclusive technology at present, the price is very high and ordinary families cannot afford it.

In comparison, window air conditioners are noisy but cheap, making them the choice of many people.

But Li Changhe doesn't care. He is rich now, so he will definitely choose a split type because it is quieter.

The window machine is too noisy.

Zhu Lin and Gong Xue, who were standing by, just listened to what Li Changhe was talking to the salesperson.

They know about window type air conditioners, but they don't know what split type air conditioners are.

Soon, the salesperson brought them to the split-type air conditioner that Li Changhe wanted. No wonder it was so expensive, it turned out to be an extremely rare floor-standing air conditioner.

And next to it, there is also a wall-mounted air conditioner.

"These are Japanese products that have just arrived. They are expensive and located in a remote area."

“Is this also an air conditioner?”

Zhu Lin looked at the machines in amazement and asked.

Li Changhe nodded: "Yes!"

The salesperson continued, "Comrade, I have to remind you of one thing."

"This air conditioner is not only expensive, but we also have another problem when we put them here, which is that it consumes too much electricity and requires a high voltage."

"In general, few of our homes, even those for high-ranking officials, can afford this voltage."

The salesperson kindly reminded me.

The power system of this era was far less stable than that of later generations. Window air conditioners were still okay, but this split type had very high requirements.

Houses in most parts of the capital may not meet these requirements.

However, Overseas Chinese Apartments are not included in this list.

After all, the company was targeting overseas Chinese and earning foreign exchange. It was said that the building materials used were leftovers from the construction of the Great Hall of the People, but Li Changhe didn't know whether it was true or not.

But anyway, the specifications of the Overseas Chinese Apartments are very high, and the power and voltage are sufficient. After all, the area was large enough when it was originally designed.

"We know that. By the way, does your store have any installers?"

Li Changhe asked curiously again at this time.

"Yes, we provide all of these. You just need to leave your address."

The salesperson nodded.

"Then one vertical type and four split types."

"Okay, one vertical, four. Four split?"

The salesperson nodded subconsciously, and then looked at Li Changhe in surprise.

"Comrade, are you right? You want five air conditioners in total?"

"Yes, you heard it right, Wutai!"

"Are you purchasing this for your company?"

The salesperson was stunned. She had worked at the Friendship Store for a long time and had seen lavish spending, but this was the first time she had seen someone as generous as Li Changhe.

"We have four bedrooms and a living room, so it should be no problem to buy five air conditioners!"

"Don't ask why. The answer is that we want to earn foreign exchange for the country!"

Li Changhe said to the salesperson with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the salesperson immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Comrade, you are really conscious!"

This is a large amount of consumption in order to earn foreign exchange for the country!

"Well, we also bought a TV, a refrigerator, a washing machine, etc. You can contact your person in charge later and find a truck to transport them together."

With so many things, it’s impossible to move them by relying on a cart.

"Oh, by the way, tell him that we will also be purchasing beds and furniture later."

Friendship Store was the earliest self-service supermarket at that time, and it had everything.

"Okay, okay!"

After Li Changhe and his friends left with the order, the salesperson still looked shocked.

This means purchasing a complete set of home appliances and furniture, and they are all foreign imported brands. How much will this cost?
Afterwards, Li Changhe and Zhu Lin selected the bed, cabinet, sofa, dressing table, dining table, and desk.

I didn't buy small furniture like pots, pans, and utensils. I only bought an electric rice cooker and nothing else. After all, the Friendship Store sells high-end goods, not household products.

Li Changhe's purchases did eventually alarm the person in charge of the entire store. After all, the purchases cost tens of thousands of foreign exchange coupons.

In this era, this is truly a sky-high price.

"Hello, this is Comrade Li Changhe!"

"Yes, it's me. Who are you?"

Looking at the middle-aged man who came to say hello, Li Changhe was a little puzzled.

"I am the person in charge of the sales department of our mall. My name is Feng Jianshe. When the comrade below reported to me, I guessed it was you, Comrade Li Changhe."

Feng Jianshe said to Li Changhe with a smile.

"Oh? You know me?"

Li Changhe asked curiously, he wondered who greeted him.

As expected, Feng Jianshe smiled and said, "This is the first time we met today, but Secretary Liang from the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office called me."

"Tell me that Comrade Li Changhe might come to our Friendship Store to make large purchases, and asked me to cooperate. He said that you just bought a house in the Overseas Chinese Apartment."

"They just told me that a comrade bought a lot of electrical appliances and furniture. I immediately guessed it was you."

"We have prepared the truck, and I will arrange the installers for you. When you have finished your purchase, we will load the goods and send them over directly."

"But if you want to install it, you'll probably have to wait until tomorrow. You have too much stuff, and you definitely won't be able to finish it in just this afternoon."

Feng Jianshe said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, we are not in a hurry, so I'll trouble Director Feng!"

Nowadays, Friendship Store is also a state-owned, genuine department-level unit.
