Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forest farm

At 8:30 in the morning on the 13th, the Jilin Province Timber Products Ordering Fair officially started.

Zhou Mingyuan led several people from the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau, each wearing a work ID, and under the guidance of the staff, entered the designated location in the conference hall.

The order fairs of this era did not have so many tricks. Compared with later expos and trade fairs, which had various exhibition halls and booths with a dazzling array of products, they were much simpler.

The products that can be obtained are logs of various diameters and varieties, fiberboard, plywood, square lumber, particleboard, etc.

Of course, none of these are real objects, at most they are enlarged photos.

Every merchant who comes to the ordering meeting will have a stack of color pictures in his hand to introduce the product and the 17 provincial forestry bureaus.

The Ministry of Domestic Trade, the Ministry of Forestry, the National Timber Corporation, the General Administration of Materials and other relevant departments all sent personnel to attend the meeting, and leaders of relevant departments in the province took the stage to speak.

Afterwards, people from seventeen forestry bureaus came on stage to introduce the situation of each forestry bureau.

Next, each participating department and company will submit their letter of intent for ordering this year.

For some orders, the province will make overall arrangements and assign the orders to which forestry bureau.

The other part is selected by the merchants themselves. Each forestry bureau signs a timber supply contract with the merchants based on last year's harvesting volume and this winter's harvesting target.

Songjianghe Forestry Bureau is considered to be the largest among the provincial forestry bureaus. In this year's order fair, it received one-third more orders than in previous years.

Many of them are small-diameter timber newly included in the catalog this year.

Sheng Xiping had already known this, so he was not too surprised by this. He only helped Zhou Mingyuan and the others handle the contract.

The order fair will last for one and a half days, and there will be a small banquet on the afternoon of the 14th, which will also provide an opportunity for the forestry bureaus and foreign merchants to communicate with each other.

Sheng Xiping also seized the opportunity to chat with many merchants, inquire about their needs for wood products, and obtain business opportunities.

At the same time, I also exchanged contact information with many people. Anyway, with this kind of connection, I will save a lot of worry in the future.

After the order fair ended, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At night, everyone returned to the hotel or hostel, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The next day, everyone who had rested began to wander around the provincial capital.

At this time of year, there wasn't much to see in the provincial capital. The guys first went to Nanhu Park to hang out all morning, and then went to a few department stores to buy things in the afternoon.

When you go out, you always have to buy something for home, otherwise your trip will be in vain.

Zhou Mingyuan and Sheng Xiping were no exception. They followed the army around and bought good things when they came across them.

"Xiping, come on, there's a TV seller here."

Zhou Mingyuan walked to a counter, looked at the square box-like things placed on the counter, and said excitedly.

Sheng Xiping walked over with a smile and saw that it was a Sika Deer HB1-1 twelve-inch black and white TV produced in Changchun.

In my previous life, I was used to seeing all kinds of large-screen TVs. This 12-inch screen TV looks small and exquisite.

"Dad, do you like this? Do you want to buy it?"

Sheng Xiping looked at the TV and sighed in his heart, isn't this thing too small? It's such a small screen, why don't you lean in front of it to see it?

"Well, I have this idea. Before I went out this time, your mother talked to me about it.

During the Chinese New Year last year, a batch of these TVs came into our store, and they were snatched up before anyone could wait.

Your mother was very sorry at the time, because she thought I was just sitting around the house and not rushing to buy a TV. "

Zhou Mingyuan chuckled and looked at the TV in front of him with all kinds of curiosity.

Wang Chunxiu said that the three children in the family were outside, and they were the only two who stared at each other all day long.

It was okay during the day, both of them went to work, but after dinner in the evening, nothing happened, and the old couple didn't have much to talk to each other.

There is a radio at home, but where can I catch a TV?

Wang Chunxiu heard people say that there were people on the TV who could move, talk, and sing, so she really wanted to buy one.

"Then if my mother wants to buy it, just buy it. Comrade, how much does this TV cost?" Sheng Xiping turned around and asked the salesperson.

The salesperson behind the counter had a nonchalant expression on his face.

"It's out of stock. You have to queue up. It will take at least two months before the goods are available."

In this day and age, department store salespeople are guaranteed jobs, and they all have a very proud attitude.

I have heard before that in some places, salespeople dare to beat customers.

Therefore, some stores and supply and marketing societies specifically put up signs prohibiting beating customers without reason.

People in small places are familiar with each other, and they will be more polite if they lower their heads but don't raise their heads to meet them.

It's a big place in the provincial capital and it's such a high-end department store. It's understandable that the salesperson has an arrogant attitude, so Sheng Xiping was not surprised but didn't get angry.

But this person is lying with his eyes open. There is obviously a TV on the counter, but he must say that it is out of stock. Isn't this a bit too much?

"Comrade, isn't there something on the counter? Why do you say it's out of stock?" Sheng Xiping pointed at the TV on the counter and asked.

"What do you know? This one was ordered by our leader. It is temporarily placed here as a sample. It will be taken away in two days."

The salesperson glanced at Sheng Xiping and said impatiently.

"Forget it, Xiping, we won't buy it if it's out of stock, right? I'll say hello to our store in advance when I get back and leave one for me then."

Zhou Mingyuan was afraid that Sheng Xiping would get angry and quarrel with the salesperson again, so he hurriedly dragged Sheng Xiping away.

"Do you want one at home? If so, I will think of a way to leave one for you."

Sheng Xiping shook his head, "My family doesn't want it, right?

The fourth and fifth children are taking the college entrance examination this year, and the sixth child is taking the high school entrance exam. It's only been a few months. If they really get a TV back home, they are all thinking about watching TV. How can they still be in the mood to study? "

There was a radio at home, which fascinated Sheng Xitai. At six o'clock in the evening, Ma Liu would turn it on and listen to the radio.

That is to say, I had a lot of homework in the third grade of junior high school and had evening classes, so I didn't have time to listen.

If I buy a TV and go home, haha, the people at home will be obsessed with it.

No, let’s forget it, study is more important, wait until these people are admitted to college.

What's more, TVs these days are too small and still black and white. It's better to buy an 18-inch or 20-inch color TV in a few years. It’s troublesome to have to replace it when you can save it.

Zhou Mingyuan nodded when he heard this, "Yes, I heard people say that in the few houses in our bureau that have TVs, people in the whole room crowd to watch them at night, which affects children's learning too much.

Is your fourth and fifth child studying well? How were the results of the test? Hey, are you about to take the physical examination and fill out your application form? "Zhou Mingyuan suddenly remembered and asked casually.

"Are their grades good? I heard from Principal Wang that they seem to be pretty good."

These children in the Sheng family are all quite talented in learning.

In addition, Zhou Qinglan, Sheng Xikang and others provided various learning materials from outside, so Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei's grades have always been good.

"That's good. Oh, it would be great if you could have two more college students in your family." Zhou Mingyuan sighed.
