162. Buy a mobile phone
The clerk at the mobile phone store was a young girl in her early twenties, and when Zhou Fangyuan came in, she was sitting next to her and munching melon seeds. Zhou Fangyuan was lying on the counter and looked left and right, she didn't come over to greet the guests, just munched melon seeds while reading magazines.
When Zhou Fangyuan asked to see the mobile phone by name, the other party stood up.
"Which one?"
Listening to the accent, it doesn't look like a native of Beitong, like a person from Mengyun Province next door. Although the two provinces are close to each other, especially the cities close to the border of the two provinces, the distance between them is only two or three hundred kilometers at most, so the accents are very similar.
But it is also the pronunciation of Beitong dialect, but the tone on Mengyun's side is not obvious, and the speech is mostly flat, while the tone of Beitong is even richer. As long as it is an old Beitong person, you can basically hear it as soon as you hear it.
Zhou Fangyuan is also an old Beitong person, he has lived in this city for nearly forty years, and there is no reason why he can't hear it.
"This black Motorola. ”
Zhou Fangyuan pointed to the mobile phone on the counter and said.
"Ah, I can't show you this. ”
The waiter shook his head and refused Zhou Fangyuan's request.
"Why?"
Zhou Fangyuan was a little surprised, how can there be a reason to buy something and not show it to others? What if you buy a defective product? What if you buy a fake? Well, even if it is not a defective product, it is not a fake, but it is always the right time to buy something and see it.
"This big brother costs fifteen thousand, what if you take it and run away?"
The waiter said confidently, although there was no expression of contempt, Zhou Fangyuan still felt the other party's distrust of him, as if he felt that he couldn't afford to buy this mobile phone.
Zhou Fangyuan really wanted to laugh...... I can't afford to buy this mobile phone, I can buy this store directly, I don't have to open my mouth with my parents, I can do it with the money in my hand.
Don't forget that he also has shares in the Internet café, except for the first month's dividends to his parents to open a fast food restaurant, the parents of the later dividends did not ask for themselves, although the business of the Internet café has declined seriously, and the number of dividends is also decreasing, but after a few months of saving, how can there be hundreds of thousands.
To put it mildly, Zhou Fangyuan now runs out to buy his own car, and a mere mobile phone can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket for him.
This waiter is obviously a dog looking down on people.
But he didn't get angry because of this, the other party was right, if he really picked it up and ran, the other party couldn't catch up with him, who would have this money at that time?
Zhou Fangyuan forgot that the reason why the mobile phone stores of later generations dared to put out the sample machine was mainly because of the anti-leeching chain. The anti-leeching chain is very strong, and the idlers are constantly pulling. Even if it is cut, it will sound an alarm instantly, and the person who stole the phone will not be able to steal it anyway.
There was no such thing in this era, or there was one, but it was obviously not widely used, so it was as it should have been locked in a fence cabinet.
Zhou Fangyuan figured out these things, and immediately stopped insisting, but asked the prices of a few mobile phones that he fancied, and after asking if he could open a mobile phone card here, he turned around and walked out of the mobile phone store.
He walked around the street a few times, found a bank, withdrew some money, and then walked back to the mobile phone store with the money in his pocket. Halfway through, he ran into a group of cousins who came out to find him.
"Where have you been? We've been looking for you for a long time. ”
The cousin asked a little unhappily.
"I'm going to get the money. ”
Zhou Fangyuan replied honestly.
"What are you withdrawing money?"
The cousin asked inexplicably.
"Buy a mobile phone. ”
Zhou Fangyuan replied as a matter of course.
He didn't realize that buying a mobile phone in this era was not as casual as in later generations. In later generations, the cheaper one was only 1,000 yuan, and it was very easy to use. At that time, people's wages were generally more than 3,000, and it was very simple to buy a mobile phone.
But now, the per capita salary is still a few hundred yuan, and a mobile phone costs tens of thousands, so when he said that he wanted to buy a mobile phone, the eyes of several girls, including his cousin, widened.
"Yangyang, you're not joking with me, do you know how much a mobile phone costs?"
"Of course I know, more than 10,000!"
Zhou Fangyuan replied subconsciously.
After saying that, he realized his problem, but after the words were spoken, he couldn't change his words.
"Okay, now it's really a rich man, and he doesn't blink his eyes when he buys a mobile phone. Let's go, take me to see, how can I do such a big thing. ”
The cousin didn't give Zhou Fangyuan a chance to refuse at all, turned her head and looked around, and saw the mobile phone store, then grabbed Zhou Fangyuan's hand and pulled him towards that side.
Several of her best friends looked at each other in surprise and followed without saying a word.
Zhou Fangyuan is a little numb now, he really wants to turn his head and go back, but his cousin has a very strong hand, and he looks like he can't buy it. And what he says is spilled water, and it's not his character to swallow it back casually.
So he could only follow his cousin forward, and as he walked, he walked to the front, but at first his cousin dragged him, but now it has become him dragging his cousin, but from the side, the two of them are like couples walking hand in hand through the market, and the eyes of the girls behind are all bright and terrifying.
Back in the mobile phone store, the waiter immediately stood up as soon as he saw Zhou Fangyuan coming back. Gone and returned, nine times out of ten she is ready to buy a mobile phone, and she will have a commission for selling one, can she not care?
"Sir, are you going to buy a mobile phone?"
A Beitong dialect with a Mengyun provincial accent, coupled with a smile that is not professional, how awkward it is to be, but Zhou Fangyuan's attention is not on the waiter.
"Ah, buy a mobile phone, this Motorola will bring me one, and this Nokia, give it to me...... Three!"
"What?"
The little girl's eyes were about to pop out, and she thought she was having auditory hallucinations.
Zhou Fangyuan's cousin was also surprised, you must know that her father doesn't have a mobile phone yet, and his cousin, when he opens his mouth, there are four mobile phones, he, can he really afford it?
"Yangyang, what are you...... Did you ask the price...... Don't get me wrong......"
Being kicked out is a small matter, and a big shame is a big one, and my cousin doesn't want to be embarrassed.
And a few girlfriends who followed in also heard Zhou Fangyuan's words, and several people directly froze at the door and did not move. It's really a little scary, when he opens his mouth, there are four mobile phones, does he think that the mobile phone is a cabbage on the street?
Everybody thought so in their hearts.
Zhou Fangyuan patted his cousin's hand and motioned for her to settle down, and then he turned his head to look at the waiter.
"I'm not wrong, you just get me the phone, I brought all the money. ”
His words woke up the waiter, and the little girl swallowed, "This, this gentleman, I'm sorry, I need to call my boss, the counter key is at the boss'......"
"Okay, you can fight. ”
Zhou Fangyuan nodded in understanding.
The little girl is afraid that he will run away with his mobile phone, isn't the boss afraid?
Although it is a glass counter, in fact, the counter itself is made of metal, and the so-called glass is also a layer of metal mesh under it, if there is no key, unless the entire counter is removed, it is basically just a look, and you want to forcibly grab the mobile phone, hehe, ordinary people really don't have that ability.
The waiter hurriedly ran to the side and called the boss with a landline, and the boss was playing mahjong nearby, and ran back within three minutes of receiving the call.
"Who wants to buy a phone?"
As soon as he entered the door, the boss asked, this is a middle-aged fat man, and his whole body is shaking when he walks.
"I buy it. ”
Zhou Fangyuan said with a calm expression, and raised the bag in his hand as he spoke, indicating that he had brought all the money.
"Whichever one to buy, I'll give it to you. ”
The boss's eyes are poisonous, and he knows that Zhou Fangyuan is a child of a rich family at a glance, so he is not worried that Zhou Fangyuan is playing with him.
"One Motorola, three Nokia. ”
"Okay, no problem. ”
The boss nodded again and again, got into the gap next to the counter with great difficulty, took out the key from his pocket, and then tinkered with it from under the counter for a long time, and took out four boxes.
"One Motorola, three Nokia, I'll give you a cheaper, you just give me forty-eight thousand. ”
The boss said quickly, he did give Zhou Fangyuan a cheaper, a thousand cheaper. A Motorola 168C costs fifteen thousand, three Nokia 6110s cost twelve thousand each, and three thirty-six thousand, adding up to fifty-one. The boss made a move of three thousand cheaper, which is indeed a lot.
"Okay, I still need a mobile phone card, she just said that you have a mobile phone card here, give me four, but I have to pick my own number. ”
Zhou Fangyuan put the bag containing the money on the counter and said.
"Absolutely. ”
The boss nodded, and pulled out a large booklet, which was printed with red paint and filled with phone numbers, each with a phone card on it. Zhou Fangyuan looked at it and smiled at that time.
He actually saw the phone number with the tail number 6888 in the phone book, good guy, this number alone is worth a lot of money in the afterlife, and money can't buy it. It's still good in this era, and you can buy such a good bomb casually.
He didn't even think about it, so he bought this number and gave it to his father. Then he picked three more serial numbers, 6889, 6890 and 6891, for the three Nokias.
The mobile phone number also costs money, and the cost is not low, 50 yuan a month rent, caller ID 10 yuan, 6 cents a minute to call a local call, and a long-distance piece of 81 minutes, which can be described as quite expensive.
However, compared to mobile phones, these are small amounts of money, and Zhou Fangyuan bought them directly without thinking about it.
These mobile phone numbers have been activated, once you plug in the mobile phone and tinker a little, you can use it, this boss is obviously an insider, and you have a relationship to get out the mobile phone and phone number to sell it yourself. But this has nothing to do with Zhou Fangyuan, he handed the money to the boss, then took the mobile phone, with the help of the other party, turned on all the mobile phones, inserted the card, and then confirmed that it could be used, as soon as he turned around, he put one of the silver-gray Nokia in his cousin's hand.
"How about a gift for you, like it or not?"
“……”
There was a sudden silence in the mobile phone store, and everyone's eyes widened, looking at Zhou Fangyuan in disbelief, including his cousin, covering his mouth and looking at his cousin with a look of surprise.
