Chapter 53 53: Changing cars

"What!" Sha Zhu looked shocked: "Xu Damao is getting married?"

Zhou Wenliang nodded affirmatively: "We're getting married. We've already discussed the date. We'll only get the certificate this month."

Silly Zhu suddenly became anxious. He and Xu Damao couldn't deal with each other and always wanted to compete with each other in everything. If this kid were allowed to get married early, he would have a son next year and he wouldn't be laughed to death.

"Do you know who he is right with?"

Zhou Wenliang laughed secretly in his heart, but shook his head: "I don't know, looking at the dress of which girl is either rich or noble, she should be the daughter of a wealthy family.

If a guy like Xu Damao pays for it, he will become rich if he marries this woman."

Silly Zhu angrily cursed: "His grandma is so rich! He can't get married."

Zhou Wenliang: "What are you going to do? Don't mess around! As the saying goes, it's better to demolish ten temples than ruin a marriage. Don't make trouble for others."

"Don't worry about it. This guy Xu Damao ruined my blind date before, so he won't have an easy time this time." Silly Zhu slapped his butt angrily, walked down the stairs, cursed, and went back to swinging the sledgehammer.

Zhou Wenliang chuckled, clapped his hands, and it was done. From now on, the stupid pillar was in front. When Xu Damao found out about it, he also made trouble for him. Anyway, the two of them couldn't deal with it.

Zhou Wenliang slipped out of the factory in the afternoon and wanted to go to the scrapyard to continue working on radios. He couldn't stop his side business.

Passing by a bicycle shop, I saw a row of brand-new bicycles at the door. There were various models of men's and women's bicycles. I saw 600 yuan written on the label.

Zhou Wenliang was surprised, stopped to take a look, and then asked the clerk on the side: "Comrade, Forever Bicycle 600?"

The clerk squatted at the door and smoked a cigarette. He looked up at him and said, "Yes, the flat price is 600, which is also the same price in department stores."

Zhou Wenliang scratched his head. He had been paying attention to the radio before and had forgotten that the capital had adapted to the high-price policy in November last year.

In order to withdraw currency and implement a high-price policy, pilot projects were first launched in Hebei and Yangcheng in August, and were subsequently promoted throughout the country.

The adjusted prices include bicycles, radios, watches, sewing machines and other large items.

For example, a bicycle costs between 600 and 800 each, so who can afford it?

There are also expensive snacks and candies.

Zhou Wenliang remembered that the price had been reduced several times, but it was always above 300 yuan. The price would not be adjusted until 1965, and the price would basically return to normal.

Zhou Wenliang thought for a while, then turned to the trust store and saw that the second-hand bicycles there were very expensive. A permanent bicycle like his was actually sold for 150, which was much more expensive than when he bought it.

After entering the trust store and coming to the consignment office, Zhou Wenliang, the old man wearing glasses behind the counter, asked: "Old sir, I have a bicycle to sell. How much do you charge for this bicycle?"

The old gentleman followed him out to have a look, patted the car seat, and said, "This is a second-hand one too, right? If you consign it to us, we'll charge you a handling fee. If you want to sell it directly here, we'll charge you 100 yuan."

Take yours."

Zhou Wenliang: "Then I will sell it on consignment with you. How much will it be priced at?"

"It's between 130 and 150. Your permanent 28-type bicycle is well maintained. The lights and panniers are all new. It's about 150. We charge a 10% handling fee when the bicycle is sold. If you want to sell it, bring the driving book and invoice.

I still have my registered permanent residence here..."

Zhou Wenliang smiled and nodded. This is good. You can still make money if you resell it.

After going back and getting the household registration book and the invoice for purchasing the bicycle, he went through the consignment procedures here. Zhou Wenliang patted his butt and walked over, leaving the bicycle in the store.

I walked to the Beixinqiao Department Store on my legs and bought here a cowhide painted saddle, tires, a big flywheel, a big crankset, a big buckle chain, a full chain cover, a chrome handbrake, a bell, a car bracket, a car light...

A bunch of bicycle parts scattered here and there cost more than 86 yuan.

I bought more tools and carried a bunch of things. After I came out, I went into an alley. Seeing no one there, I got into the space.

Assembling a bicycle requires no electricity and is the safest in space. Besides, the flow of space is slow. In the past two hours inside, less than five minutes have passed outside.

It was Zhou Wenliang's first time to assemble this thing. Although it didn't look difficult, something went wrong in the middle and he couldn't assemble it. The model was different, and the wheels and frame didn't work well, so he went to buy another one.

The last brand-new Dawei 28 bicycle came out. It is a Qingdao brand and it is not bad. Zhou Wenliang rode it around the space and tried it and it felt very good.

The space in the alley was torn apart. After Zhou Wenliang rode his bicycle against the wind, he went straight to the Beixinqiao Vehicle Management Office without looking back.

There are not many people in the vehicle management office. Who will buy such an expensive bicycle, so there are few people who come to the vehicle management office to register and get a license plate.

Only a few come to pay the annual bicycle fee.

Zhou Wenliang took a pile of bicycle parts invoices and said to the staff: "Hello comrade, help me smash the steel seal and add the license plate."

The staff member frowned and asked, "Did you assemble the bicycle yourself?"

"Yes, I bought the parts and assembled them myself..." Zhou Wenliang explained, which made the staff look at him with admiration, and several people paying fees also looked over.

The explanation was clear, and there was an invoice for buying bicycle parts. The stamping went very smoothly. After pushing the bicycle out, I heard someone shouting from behind: "Little brother, little brother, wait for me..."

Zhou Wenliang looked back and saw a middle-aged, slender man who looked like an intellectual and asked, "Is something wrong?"

"Hello, my name is Cai Yuanfang, and I am a middle school teacher." Cai Yuanfang was very enthusiastic and shook hands with Zhou Wenliang vigorously.

Zhou Wenliang wondered: "Hello..."

"Just now I saw you in there saying that you assembled the bicycle yourself? I wonder if you can help me assemble a women's bicycle. Of course, you decide the cost. I won't let you help me in vain, little brother."

It turned out that business came to his door. Zhou Wenliang smiled and nodded happily: "Okay, whatever model you want, my price is fair."

"Phoenix's ladies' bicycle!" Cai Yuanfang insisted.

Zhou Wenliang: "The aristocrat in Ms. Phoenix's bicycle, it seems Comrade Cai is getting married?"

At this time, women were usually given bicycles when they got married or bought them for their daughter-in-law after marriage. It was not a shameful thing for a woman to have a Phoenix bicycle when she got married.

Cai Yuanfang showed embarrassment: "No, I bought it for my wife. We have been married for more than five years, why are we still married?"

Zhou Wenliang ignored this and asked: "Okay, when do you want to take it?"

"How about tomorrow?"

"You can do it at night, but it's expensive. I assemble it and buy the parts. It's a total of three hundred yuan. If you can..."

Cai Yuanfang didn't bring any counter-offers. Now the price of a car in the mall is more than 600, which made him hesitate for a long time. Now that it can cost 300, he is very happy.

"Little brother, let's make an agreement first. If there is something wrong with the bicycle you assemble, I won't want it."

"Don't worry, I won't give you any questions..."

Zhou Wenliang was also happy. He agreed on a time, went to the store to buy the parts, put them in the space, and rode his new car all the way to the steel rolling mill. Everyone on the road looked at him with envy.

Being able to buy a new car at this time is a symbol of strength!

The new cars we ride now are even better than the Mercedes-Benz we drove in later generations.

After returning, he attracted the attention of the doorman and several security officers. Because they were familiar with him, Zhou Wenliang smoked a few cigarettes and accepted their admiration.

Returning to the Publicity Department, when he saw Xu Damao on the road, Zhou Wenliang scolded him: "Xu Damao, why are you wandering around outside when you are not at work?"

Xu Damao was frightened. He turned around and saw Zhou Wenliang pointing at him with a face on his face, riding a new car with his long legs on the ground.

"W-what, I came out to use the toilet..."

"Are you going to the toilet? This road is to the fourth workshop. Honestly, what are you going to do?"

What could he do? Just sit in the screening room and get bored, then come out to chat with Li Lanlan.

But it can't be said. Xu Damao smiled and said: Go to the toilet in a long way. I like to exercise before going to the toilet.
