"Brother, do you know how much a television costs nowadays?"
Cheng Jinyun didn't expect Lin Xiang's attention to be drawn away from the bicycle and towards televisions instead.
Though it was quite a shift, he still answered Lin Xiang's question.
"For black and white televisions, the prices differ by size. A nine-inch black and white TV, depending on the brand, typically ranges from three hundred to five hundred. A twelve-inch black and white TV usually costs between three hundred seventy to four hundred thirty yuan."
"Color TVs are more expensive. Our country doesn't manufacture color TVs at the moment, so they need to be imported. With limited quantities and high prices, they're for internal supply only, and even with money and tickets, you can't buy one."
Lin Xiang couldn't help but turn her head to look at Cheng Jinyun, "Brother, how do you know this so well?"
Although he came to Beijing earlier than her, he spent most of his time in the military!
