Chapter 31 Buying a mobile phone
After saying goodbye to Qin Hongyuan, Wu Zhongchao did not go home directly, nor did he go to the place where his parents worked, but directly looked for a mobile phone store on the street.
He found that it was really inconvenient for him to not have a mobile phone, so he had no way to contact others, and he had to run by himself, which was too much of a waste of time.
He remembers that the first mobile phone he bought was when he was about to go to college in his third year of high school, and very few students in high school owned mobile phones, and they were basically PHS.
This PHS is also similar to a mobile phone, but its signal is generally only available in a limited area, unlike mobile phones, which have basically spread throughout the country.
But PHS is cheaper, I remember when I was in junior high school, Wu Zhongchao secretly bought one without telling his parents.
And I bought it as a second-hand one, which is funny when I think about it now.
However, for the current Wu Zhongchao, it is naturally impossible to buy PHS, but to buy a mobile phone.
Although the price of mobile phones is expensive now, it is better than practicality, and what he wants is practicality.
As for those new mobile phone functions, he doesn't pay much attention to them, maybe for today's people, color screen mobile phones are very rare, but for Wu Zhongchao, who is used to using smart phones, these functions are not the same.
Lin Dong Town is not big, but there are still mobile phone stores, and after a little stroll on the street, I saw a small mobile phone.
In the past, people who were able to open mobile phone stores had a certain amount of capital, otherwise they couldn't afford to sell mobile phones, after all, in 2003, mobile phones were generally more than 3,000.
These more than 3,000 are the 3,000 in 2003, and the 3,000 before Wu Zhongchao's rebirth is not the same at all.
That's two months' salary.
If they are asked to buy a mobile phone with two months' salary, who wants to buy it?
So at that time, the penetration rate of mobile phones was still quite low.
Walking into the mobile phone store, Wu Zhongchao went straight to the counters where the mobile phones were placed, and kept scanning them.
At this time, the saleswoman in the store came over and asked, "Little brother, what do you want to buy?"
"When you come to a mobile phone store, you naturally come to buy a mobile phone. Wu Zhongchao said as a matter of course.
"Oh, what about your adult? I think your mom or dad wants to buy a mobile phone. The saleswoman asked patiently again.
Wu Zhongchao was speechless for a while when he heard his words, he knew that because he was too young, the salesman lady thought that it was his parents who bought the mobile phone, not him.
If this is true according to the normal way of thinking, but he is not an ordinary teenager, naturally he cannot understand it in a normal way of thinking.
He said directly: "Beauty, it's not my dad who bought the phone, it's not my mom but myself." ”
"Little brother, don't make trouble, the mobile phone here is at least 3499, how can you afford it as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. ”
The saleswoman said to Wu Zhongchao like a child: "If you want to play, go to other places to play, don't play here." ”
Her words made Wu Zhongchao feel speechless again.
When has it become so hard to buy a mobile phone?
"I really want to buy a phone. Wu Zhongchao said again.
"What to buy, what to buy, children, hurry home, or I'm going to drive people out." The salesman was already a little angry at this time.
"I am a customer, the customer is God, as long as I have money, you don't care if I am old or young, don't you want the money sent to you?"
Wu Zhongchao is really strange, he found that it was so difficult for him, he was disgusted to buy a mobile phone, if it goes on like this, will he still do business in the future?
He really didn't believe he couldn't even buy a mobile phone.
"You're rich, how much money do you have? A little kid dares to say he's rich. The salesman immediately smiled disdainfully.
"I'm so small. ”
Wu Zhongchao's body arched forward violently, and in order to show his size, he even stood on tiptoe.
Seriously, Wu Zhongchao is now about 1.7 meters tall, which is indeed relatively tall, if it weren't for the immaturity of his face, ordinary people really wouldn't be able to see that he was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys have already developed up, and some open couples even go to open rooms at this age.
So it is indeed not small for the current Wu Zhongchao.
Poof.
The saleswoman couldn't help laughing, it was the first time she had seen such a living treasure, but she couldn't help but laugh in order not to affect herself.
"As long as you can come up with the money, I'll let you buy it. At this point, the saleswoman changed her strategy and turned to talking about money.
And what is Wu Zhongchao most afraid of? That is money.
For him now, nothing that can be solved with money is a thing.
Therefore, as soon as the salesman finished speaking, he immediately took out a stack of money and put it on the counter.
This is the 10,000 yuan he just went to the bank to withdraw, of course, to buy a mobile phone.
He knows very well that in 2003, the credit card machine for shopping was not yet fully popular, and it was impossible for a small mobile phone store like this to have such a machine, so for the sake of insurance, he still chose to withdraw cash, but fortunately, now this cash not only allows him to buy a mobile phone, but also can be used to pretend to be forced.
Because at this time, the salesman's eyes began to light up when she saw this stack of Huaxia coins.
There is no one who doesn't like money, let alone the woman in front of her as a salesman.
"Can I buy a mobile phone now?" Wu Zhongchao raised his head and looked squarely.
"But... Yes, of course. The salesman smiled awkwardly.
"Then get me a Nokia's best color screen mobile phone, and get me a mobile phone card, and ask for Huaxia Mobile." Wu Zhongchao said directly.
"Okay, you wait. ”
With that, the salesman went to get the mobile phone and prepare the mobile phone card.
At that time, there was no need to register with real name to buy a mobile phone, so even if Wu Zhongchao did not have an ID card now, he could buy a mobile phone card.
It's true that even a mobile phone card costs a hundred yuan.
But compared with mobile phones, Wu Zhongchao did not pay attention to the money of mobile phones.
Soon the saleswoman took out Nokia's latest color screen mobile phone, she briefly introduced the basic functions to Wu Zhongchao, put the mobile phone card into the mobile phone, and then gave the number to Wu Zhongchao.
In 2003, the numbers of mobile phone cards started with 13, and Wu Zhongchao's mobile phone happened to start with 138, and the last few numbers were also very easy to remember.
This mobile phone is surprisingly expensive, it costs 6,000 yuan, which can be compared to the price of Apple above Wu Zhongchao's rebirth, but for convenience, Wu Zhongchao still bought it.
Then, in the bright smile of the salesman, he left the mobile phone store.
