Chapter 576: Say it again: Have service awareness!

The next day, Wei Tianxing hurriedly drove his tractor to the front of Li Long's courtyard. His tractor couldn't enter, so he could only park it outside.

Gu Xiaoxia went to work, Sister Yang went to sell food, Han Fang went to school, and there was only Li Long in the courtyard.

And a combine harvester that had already been set up. Li Long had simply wiped it, and it looked very, very new.

Wei Tianxing excitedly handed a stack of ten-yuan bills to Li Long's hand.

Li Long took the money, counted that it was five hundred fifty yuan, and put it away.

"You drive the tractor head in, let's install the combine harvester for you, and then I'll tell you how to operate it, and how to disassemble it."

Wei Tianxing thought Li Long would let him pull the combine harvester away directly, and then he would figure it out himself. Theoretically, he was still competing for business with him.

He didn't expect Li Long to explain it to him in detail. Li Long had already said yesterday that he would teach him how to operate it, and Wei Tianxing felt that Li Long was just being polite.

He was really teaching.

That was really good!

Wei Tianxing hurriedly drove the tractor head in. Next, Li Long demonstrated how to install the combine harvester on the anti-collision beam in front of the tractor head. The newly bought tractors here all had a horizontal track steel in front, which acted as an anti-collision beam.

At the same time, this thing could also install various agricultural machines because there were sliding rails and holes to tighten screws.

Watching Li Long skillfully install the combine harvester, Wei Tianxing was a bit envious; when would he be so skillful?

"Come, you try it first. And after you can install it, next we'll install the belt, and finally start it up and debug it."

Li Long was half for true service. He came over from the previous life and knew how important service was to a person's impression. When he bought his first car, what he compared wasn't the performance of the car, but the service of the sales shop.

At that time, the cooperative distributed dividends, and it happened that cotton rose sharply, and he inflated all of a sudden. Buying a car for twenty thousand more or twenty thousand less didn't matter.

But the service others gave was particularly good, and he really felt that this car must be good.

Then he bought it. At that time, domestic cars had already risen, and the performance of various cars looked varied, anyway, better to drive than a tractor.

Of course, that was just that year. In the next few years, one was that some contracted land expired, he didn't have so much land, and the second was that the price of cotton fell, and the annual dividend was basically within one hundred thousand.

Later, Li Long was honest.

In this life, Li Long saw too much that the service quality in various shops was really very average or even very poor, and it could even be said that there was no service awareness.

Why did his fish sell faster than others? Wasn't it that he was more enthusiastic than others in the market, more daring to shout than others, and if you shouted "Big Brother, Big Sister, Uncle, Aunt" to the guests, people would feel you were polite.

This is very common in later generations, but at this time, with the market just emerging and street vending just beginning, eight out of ten people selling things just let people pick and choose, not knowing how to hawk their wares.

Being one step ahead wasn't just things, but also service.

Of course, he was also afraid that Wei Tianxing would ruin his reputation.

Last time Wei Tianxing didn't buy anything from him, if he went back and talked nonsense, any discerning person would know what the situation was, how could it be possible to resell the money-making tool to you?

So even if Wei Tianxing ruined his reputation, he wasn't afraid.

But this time was different, selling a combine harvester, others could see the thing in reality. If he didn't teach, Wei Tianxing wouldn't know how to operate it, and when he scolded him for not telling him and not having a manual, everyone would absolutely believe it.

But if he taught carefully, Wei Tianxing would go back and operate it skillfully, and advertise for him, wouldn't the business come?

At this time, there was no precedent for advertising on radio and newspapers, and wanting to sell things mostly relied on word of mouth.

So Li Long considered these two aspects and taught very carefully. It was just half an hour more, he could afford it.

Wei Tianxing was sweating profusely from being flustered, and the mist from the edge of his hat scattered, looking like an immortal.

Li Long didn't feel it was funny. This was a tool that people relied on to make money. If a combine harvester was managed well, it could earn a tractor in a summer. Who wouldn't want to do such a good thing?

To tell the truth, there were many opportunities to get rich, it just depended on how to find them.

Li Long just wanted to bring out a wealthy team in a year or two. At the moment, there were fewer than ten households in the whole township with tractors, and it would increase to twenty next year at most. And the increase in quantity, a large part came from the Fourth Team, and he thought the county would pay attention to it when the time came.

But it didn't matter, he had already become famous, so it was impossible to be more famous than the last time, he just wanted to hang up the sign of "let those who get rich first lead those who get rich later", at least within three to five years, some marginal things he did wouldn't be handled strictly.

Wei Tianxing installed it twice and disassembled it twice, and he knew it. Then Li Long began to teach him how to install the belt. The belt was easy to install, just remove one triangular belt from the four-wheeled tractor, vacate the position, and then install the combine harvester's rotating belt.

Because it had to be tight, the belt was hard to install in winter, and Wei Tianxing didn't install it after a long time, so Li Long told him:

"It's frozen in winter, it'll be easy to install in summer." After saying that, he used a stick to pry it, and it seemed very easy to install the belt.

Wei Tianxing had countless "mmp" in his heart, are you laughing at me for being old? I'm not even forty years old!

But there was no way, he didn't have Li Long's strength, so he could only watch.

Li Long removed the belt, he still wasn't convinced, and wanted to try again, but still couldn't install it.

Forget it, wait until summer. Since Li Long could install it, it meant that this belt was no problem.

Then Li Long let him crank the tractor, sat on it himself, let Wei Tianxing sit on the fender, and explained the operation to the other party.

Wei Tianxing listened very seriously, and at this time, he only regretted not bringing a notebook.

He just thought that if he didn't know it when the time came, he would run to the Li family to ask.

Li Long finished operating, stopped the combine harvester, and let Wei Tianxing go to operate it himself.

Wei Tianxing operated it cautiously, as if he was afraid of breaking the combine harvester, just like Li Long when he first touched his car, he had to figure out every switch and button before moving.

So Li Long didn't laugh at him, but reminded him when he couldn't remember and was flustered.

After teaching Wei Tianxing, he would have experience when teaching his eldest brother, Tao Daqiang, Xie Yun Dong, and Liang Dacheng.

Wei Tianxing finally satisfiedly transported the combine harvester away. Yes, after he disassembled the combine harvester, with Li Long's help, he lifted it onto the cargo bed, tied it tightly with a rope, and then pulled it back.

When he left, Wei Tianxing sincerely thanked Li Long. He felt that Li Long's selling of the combine harvester was too thoughtful, and this five hundred fifty yuan was really worth it.

When driving on the road, Wei Tianxing was still thinking about the other combine harvesters in Li Long's courtyard.

He was thinking, is it... hmm. Anyway, there were seventeen townships in the whole county, and at the moment, how many units were in the tractor joint venture Li Long organized? Including his own, it didn't exceed ten units, and there were quite a few empty ones, so... is it...

His mind became active.

Li Long sold a combine harvester smoothly and was also very happy. He remembered Factory Director Du saying that for the next batch of modified combine harvesters, he would get the wholesale price, at least four hundred yuan per unit.

When he sold it for over six hundred, it was still earning.

It was fine for him to sell this second-hand combine harvester cheaply, or keep it at home.

In the afternoon, Li Long carried a Mongolian gazelle leg to see Li Xiangqian. Li Xiangqian was in the office, and at the moment it was cold, the procurement matters in the supply and marketing cooperative were basically in a stopped state. It was mainly because the road was not easy to walk in winter, and if some things weren't urgent, it was fine to pull them in the coming spring.

Li Long told Li Xiangqian about the situation on Ma Aihong's side. Li Xiangqian asked:

"You went to Kuitun? To see your brother or to handle business?"

"Both. I ordered a combine harvester at the Kuitun Agricultural Machinery Factory, and I went to pull it back this time. It was also to see my brother, and I sent some rice and flour to my brother. A whole family, and my second sister-in-law has no job, so life is not easy."

"Yes. But no matter what, it's better than the hometown." Li Xiangqian nodded and said, "Was everything okay on the road?"

"It was quite good, I bumped into Mongolian gazelle herds on the Gobi desert on the road, I hit them, and this, I carried a leg to see you."

"Mongolian gazelle, I remember Qian Zhuren still likes to hit them quite a bit... Are there many Mongolian gazelle herds?"

"Many. I saw quite a few herds just by looking, I didn't even get off the tractor, these guys were originally looking for food by the side of the road, and they ran away when the tractor came, ran for several tens of meters and stopped, and I just opened fire on the tractor."

"Then why didn't you hit more?" Li Xiangqian was very interested and complained again.

"It was just this herd that gave me the time to open fire, the others ran far away, and I was wearing thick clothes and it wasn't easy to chase."

Li Xiangqian believed it. But since there were herds, it should be easy to hit. He was thinking, Li Long didn't interrupt, thinking about whether he should go back. "Go, I'll take you to see something." Li Xiangqian thought for a while, then pulled Li Long to the warehouse.

Li Long thought Li Xiangqian had bought some new strange things again, but after opening the warehouse, what he saw was a room full of thick plastic pipes.

The kind used for pressing wells.

"How about it? Many, right? One thousand five hundred meters!" Li Xiangqian said proudly.

Li Long was really a bit shocked:

"You bought them all back? When did you buy them back?"

"Half a month ago." Li Xiangqian's pride hadn't passed yet, and he said with a smile, "I was worried that when spring comes, there would be many people digging wells, and the supply would be tight, so I simply bought them before the New Year. As a result, when people saw me buying so many, they gave me quite a bit of discount."

Li Long looked at the warehouse full of plastic pipes, thinking that this must be enough, let alone ten-plus households, even dozens of households of herdsmen drawing water would be enough.

After Li Long left, Li Xiangqian returned to the office, thought for a while, and dialed a phone number.

"Hello, is this Director Qian? It's me, Little Li, yes, yes, Li Xiangqian. It's winter now, that Little Long in our place, the one who led us to hit Mongolian gazelles last year, went to Kuitun to handle business yesterday, and said there are many Mongolian gazelles in the no-man's-land between Shawan and Kuitun, and they are in herds.

Yes, yes, that's the Mongolian gazelle of the antelope. I thought you like hunting, and those Mongolian gazelle horns have special effects, so I thought I'd notify you...

!.

Easy to hit, very easy to hit. He said he didn't even get off the tractor, those Mongolian gazelles were looking for things to eat by the side of the road, and they ran out for several tens of meters when the tractor arrived, and that Li Long was aiming on the tractor and hit them.

Really, really, I have a Mongolian gazelle leg here, it's very fresh... Good, good, good, then I'll wait for you!"

Hanging up the phone, Li Xiangqian touched his chin, looked at the Mongolian gazelle leg, and smiled.

Their family didn't lack meat, and to tell the truth, this Mongolian gazelle meat was more gamey than the mutton sold in the market or the food factory, so it was just for freshness.

But Li Long sent meat, so he accepted this favor. The young man was very particular about human relationships, so Li Xiangqian didn't mind helping him more in some major tasks.

They were their own people, so they naturally had to take care of them.

If you really met that kind of blockhead, you gave him a task and he felt it was won by his own ability, who would be willing to be close to such a person?

Being serious about some principled issues was what should be done, and some things should be handled flexibly.

This was Li Xiangqian's principle of conduct.

Li Long didn't know that Li Xiangqian had reported this matter to the unit at a higher level. He left the supply and marketing cooperative, returned to the courtyard, and began to wipe the gun.

After the gun was used, it was still necessary to maintain it before the next use. His idea was that he probably wouldn't use the gun later, so he would maintain it well and put it away. He thought this Type 56 semi-automatic rifle could still be used for seven or eight years, and when it was used later, it would have to be hidden.

It was just that the hunting gun and small caliber could still be used for a period of time, until the superior issued a total gun ban more than ten years later, and then hand in what should be handed in, and do what should be done.

With these ten-plus years, Li Long felt that he could completely use this gun to get good things.

Of course, there were quite a few good things now, some things, such as tiger skin, snow leopard skin, unless he was super lucky, otherwise it was likely impossible to bump into them again.

Li Long came back and Sister Yang was cooking, he greeted her, and went into the house to maintain the gun.

At the moment, Li Long's gun accessories weren't lacking, oil pot, gun oil for winter and summer, and quite a few gun-wiping cloths. The gun accessories he originally exchanged from the herdsmen weren't complete, but now they were already complete.

It had to be said that it was good to have a unit.

Because he had hit it, this time wiping was mainly inside the gun barrel, the cleaning rod hung with oil cloth and passed through several times, and then passed through twice with a clean cloth, looking from the muzzle into the gun barrel, it was very bright, which counted as wiped well.

This gun had been used for quite a long time, and although the rifling was still very clear, to tell the truth, it was still quite a bit worse than a new gun.

But Li Long didn't think about getting a new gun, this thing really wasn't easy to get at this time. After all, new guns were basically in the unit, all had numbers, and couldn't be changed.

After wiping the gun, Li Long put the Type 56 into the gun holster, put it away in the house, thinking that he wouldn't take it out for a while.

Next, he planned to return to the team from time to time to accompany the old man to smash ice holes to catch fish, which counted as a pastime.

The old man actually didn't lack money, but catching fish to sell money was addictive, he had already done it for a whole summer, and he did it last year too, if he said he wouldn't do it this year, wouldn't the old man feel uncomfortable?

But he couldn't go every day, mainly because the weather was getting colder day by day, and when it reached late December, the outdoor temperature reached minus thirty degrees or more, and a person would be frozen through in a while, and no matter how thick the clothes were, they couldn't stand it for a long time outside.

So it was fine to have one time every three or five days to satisfy the addiction.

He planned it this way, but in the end, change was faster than plan. The next day after breakfast, Li Xiangqian came over to catch him.

Gu Xiaoxia had already gone to work, Sister Yang was loading food onto the food cart, and hearing the knocking, she wanted to open the door, but Li Long went first.

Seeing Li Xiangqian pushing a bicycle outside the door, Li Long was a bit surprised, opened the large gate, and asked:

"Section Chief, what's the matter so early in the morning?"

"I won't go in, you clean up, carry the gun and come to the cooperative, there's a task."

"Carry a gun? Going hunting?" Li Long roughly understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.

"Yes, Director Qian is coming, remember? The one who hit Mongolian gazelles last year. I told Director Qian about the Mongolian gazelle herds in the no-man's-land east of Kuitun, and he immediately decided to bring a car over today, and then go there to hit a few."

Li Long nodded, indicating he understood.

"If you want to go, then hurry up and clean up, carry the gun and go to the cooperative to wait, if you don't want to go, it's fine, just go to the cooperative and explain the situation clearly, anyway, it's not some deep mountain and old forest, we can find it."

"Going and returning on the same day, right?" Li Long asked.

"That's for sure, Director Qian doesn't even want to stay in the county, he wants to go back to the prefecture after hitting today."

"Alright, I'll go get the gun now. Director, you go back to the cooperative first, I'll be there soon."

"Good."

Li Xiangqian left, Li Long closed the large gate, and told Sister Yang.

"Then I won't keep your food at noon," Sister Yang said. "Can you come back to eat in the evening? I'll tell her aunt at noon..."

"Good." Li Long nodded, went into the house to change into thick clothes, and then carried the gun, put on his hat, pushed his bicycle, and went out.

Arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Long went to Li Xiangqian's office and found that he had already put on his coat, put on his leather hat, and on the side of the table was a double-barreled hunting gun.

"Section Chief, this sand gun isn't as easy to use as a rifle." Li Long said the truth.

"Let's see, this thing, as long as it can hit, it's fine. Maybe if I bump into a herd of Mongolian gazelles, I can hit three or four with one shot, which is better than yours." Li Xiangqian felt that hunting had to use a hunting gun, and his hunting gun was also a famous brand.

As for using a rifle to hunt, he felt it wasn't professional.

Alright, this kind of thing, it was just that the public said the public was right, and the mother-in-law said the mother-in-law was right.

Li Xiangqian wore his coat without buttoning it, mainly because it was relatively hot in the house. He sat down and asked Li Long specifically about how many kilometers east of Kuitun there would be Mongolian gazelles.

Li Long thought while saying. Because after passing SW County, there were several sections of no-man's-land, the section between Anjihai and Kuitun was definitely there, actually, there were also ones bumped into east of Anjihai, so this depended on luck.

Then, he heard the sound of a jeep in the courtyard.

Hearing the movement, both of them stood up, carried the guns, and walked out.

Not only them, but Director Wei also followed out.
