Chapter 20: Being Honest
"Is Master Liu at home?" As expected, when Master Liu heard Xu Ruibing calling him, his first feeling was that he might have heard it wrong.
When Xu Ruibing shouted the second time, he pushed the door open and walked out, and saw the station's Pian San motorcycle parked outside his yard.
In the cargo box of the motorcycle lay the big color TV that he had been dreaming about day and night.
Done!
Master Liu's heart suddenly became excited.
"Rui Bing, you are here. Come in and sit down. Old woman, bring out my good tea leaves!"
Master Liu's wife also came out at this time. She was extremely resistant to her old man's reaction.
The one who came is just a young man named Xu Ruibing, not Director Song. You, an old man, are already half buried in the ground. Is it worth it for you to fawn on him like this?
"Master Liu, don't bother me. I have to take Master Shen home later." Xu Ruibing said this, pointing to the TV in the truck bed and said, "Master Liu, Master Shen has agreed to sell the TV to you, but the price needs to be negotiated between the two of you."
Master Liu’s wife was surprised!
Color TV!
The family had just had a fight over a black and white TV, but now they had a color TV. Looking at the coffee-colored TV with several buttons on the left side, which looked very high-end, Master Liu's wife fell in love with it at first sight!
Although this TV is not new, it doesn't seem to have any scratches or bumps. If you wipe it well, it will be no different from a new one. Also, the screen is much larger than the black and white TV in my neighbor's house.
More importantly, this is a color TV!
"Thank you, Master Shen. How much does this color TV cost?" Master Liu walked up excitedly, grabbed Shen Lin's hand, and asked impatiently.
Shen Lin smiled and said, "Master Liu, don't worry, let's take a look at the quality of this TV first, and then we can talk about the price."
Master Liu waved his hand and said, "I've watched this TV at work. The picture is very clear and the sound is less noisy. There's no need to watch it again."
If it were in the past, if the old man dared to praise the product like this, Master Liu's wife would definitely kick him in the back. This damn old man, has he lost his mind?
But now, she just wants to take this TV home.
"Since the old man has seen it, big brother, just tell me the price. As long as it's not too outrageous, I'll pay you now."
Shen Lin looked at Master Liu's wife who was talking and knew that the one who controlled the financial power in the family should be this eldest sister.
"Master Liu, I know you trust me, but this color TV is imported from abroad after all. There are some operating techniques that I need to demonstrate to you."
"Come on, let's go inside."
As Shen Lin was speaking, he walked inside carrying the TV. Master Liu and his wife looked at each other and quickly followed him in.
On the eight-immortal table in Master Liu's house, Shen Lin plugged in the color TV. As the TV turned on, a passionate voice rang out: "...Now it's the men's basketball match between the Chinese team and the French team at the Los Angeles Olympics..."
On the TV screen, the athletes from both teams were competing fiercely. Every time the picture changed, the fans cheered louder and louder...
The clear color images made not only Master Liu and his wife, but even Lu Xiaorong felt beautiful at this moment.
Seeing Lu Xiaorong's fascinated look, Shen Lin felt a little regretful. Why didn't he think of it? During this period of pregnancy, his wife actually needed a color TV.
But the person has already come, and if I say I don’t sell it, I will obviously offend him. It seems that I should get a color TV for my wife first.
"Master Liu, these are the forward and backward buttons that can be used to change channels. These eight buttons can be used to select the channels you like. Just press these eight buttons and the channels you have selected will appear. You don't have to select them one by one..."
The functions of the color TV were not new to Shen Lin at all. He spoke casually, but Master Liu listened with a smile.
Speaking of which, as the chef in the police station's kitchen, he was not an experienced person, but this was the first time for him to use such a high-end foreign color TV.
"Dad, let's take this one!" Master Liu's eldest son came out at some point.
The young man, who had just had a quarrel with his wife and was full of resentment, couldn't help but be overjoyed at this moment.
He even came to the TV and couldn't help but touch the screen.
It is so clear that even movies in the cinema are not as comfortable to watch as this.
The quality of color images is many times better than that of black and white.
"Okay, I'll take this one." Master Liu agreed and said to Shen Lin, "Master Shen, what's your price?"
Shen Lin smiled and said, "Master Liu, how much do you think this big color TV is worth?"
Master Liu looked at the smiling Shen Lin and didn't know how to answer for a moment. As far as he was concerned, he felt that this big color TV was definitely not cheap.
Originally, he wanted Shen Lin to make an offer, and then he would bargain. But now, Shen Lin gave him the initiative, and he was in a difficult position to say.
If he didn't have to buy this TV, he could still bargain, but now, his wife and children were waiting for him, and he couldn't ruin the deal.
After exchanging a glance with the old woman, Master Liu thought about the price of imported color TVs and gritted his teeth and said, "Shen Lin, how about 800 yuan!"
Eight hundred yuan is already Master Liu’s limit!
He was going to spend 400 yuan to buy a 14-inch black-and-white TV for his son. Although Shen Lin's large color TV is second-hand, according to Master Liu, the price of this large color TV is much higher than that of a 14-inch black-and-white TV.
As soon as Master Liu made a bid, he stared at Shen Lin closely. At this time, he was afraid that Shen Lin would not agree.
When Lu Xiaorong heard Master Liu's quotation, her heart skipped a beat. She knew how much Shen Lin had paid for his big color TV.
It is now sold for eight hundred, which is equal to nearly three years' salary for her.
Shen Lin waved his hand and said, "Master Liu, I won't hide the fact from you that this large color TV is second-hand, but I can guarantee that within three years, under normal circumstances, there will be no problems with it."
"If there is a problem, I will definitely provide warranty!"
Master Liu was relieved when he heard Shen Lin say this, but his heart skipped a beat. As a person who is experienced in human relationships, he knows very well that many people will add a twist when they speak.
Now that Shen Lin said this, does it mean that he is going to make a turning point next?
Just when he secretly made up his mind and was ready to pay another 200 yuan to get it, he heard Shen Lin said sincerely: "But after all, it is only 80% new, so just give me 600 yuan."
