Chapter 1339 Brand Influence
Someone took Li Zhi and Cui Ling to their own jobs, and also met the 'team leader' mentioned by Manager Zhong.
In fact, the work of the two is not difficult, Cui Ling's main job is to replenish the insufficient goods on the shelves, while Li Zhi's job is to transport those insufficient goods from the warehouse.
It's just that the work area of the two is not the same!
Hongying Supermarket is very large and sells a wide variety of goods, but Li Zhi and Cui Ling are both in charge of 'daily life' items.
Li Zhi looked at the shelves, some small daily necessities, some of them knew it, some of them didn't know it anymore, and for more than a year, the products were updated too quickly.
Not only are the products of the alien galaxy flowing in, but the technology in the folded space, the technology in the interstellar business alliance, and various technologies on the earth are all developing in super speed.
Changing with each passing day, four words to describe, there is nothing wrong with it!
For ordinary people, although the level of science and technology has taken a big step, in daily life, the first task is still to run for life.
Basically, many jobs have been replaced by 'robots' or 'artificial intelligence', but there are still a lot of jobs.
As long as you are willing to pay for the hard work, there will be no shortage of work!
With the eight-hour working day, except for a few positions that require overtime, the vast majority of jobs have eliminated overtime.
After the work, you can participate in various trainings, self-cultivation, or you can enter the virtual network, enter the second world, buy products with no restrictions on the region on the Internet, and even perform interstellar jumps through the virtual network to go to other planets.
On weekends, you can go on a trip and explore, of course, now the situation outside the city of the earth has become a little complicated, so the major authorities do not recommend that ordinary people run to the suburbs without anything to do, and stay in the city, which is considered absolutely safe, but out of the city, it is not necessarily.
"You have to hurry up and buy a 'communicator', otherwise it will be very troublesome to contact you!" Li Zhi's team leader said to Li Zhi in a serious manner.
Communicator?
Li Zhi touched his nose, okay, he really didn't, not only did he not have it, but even Cui Ling didn't have it, this thing welfare institute is not configured.
The so-called communicator is the previous mobile phone, but now with the progress of scientific and technological strength, the functions of mobile phones and computers have been integrated into the 'communicator', which is the size of a watch and is worn on the wrist. You can also connect the device through the 'communicator' and enter the virtual network.
Inside the supermarket, there is a 'communicator' for sale, Li Zhi deliberately walked over and took a look, the cheapest one is only 800 yuan, and it is produced by 'Ice Soul Technology'!
When he was ready to receive his salary from the finance office at noon, he brought Cuiling over and bought one by one.
The work is not very tiring, in his spare time, in addition to absorbing the news of the past year or so, Li Zhi is cultivating, and among the employees in his group, it seems that only he is not an 'evolutionary', everyone else is.
After getting off work at noon, Li Zhi found Cui Ling and walked towards the 'finance room' with her.
On the way, Cui Ling hesitated, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Why do you want to pay two months' salary in advance, it's not very safe for us to put it on our bodies." ”
The worry in her voice couldn't be hidden, the salaries of the two were more than 10,000 yuan, and she didn't seem to have seen so much money since she was a child, so she was very worried!
"Don't worry, it's going to be fine. Li Zhi smiled and comforted her, and explained the purpose of the money: "You see, the place where we work is not close to the welfare home, so it must be unrealistic and a waste of time to go back to live every day, so we must find a place to live nearby." ”
After a slight pause, he continued: "In addition, we also need expenses in our daily life, and we don't have a penny in our hands now, which is definitely not good. ”
"Isn't it enough to advance a month's salary?" Cui Ling whispered a defense, anyway, in her heart, it was not safe to put so much money in her hands.
Li Zhi shrugged her shoulders, smiled and didn't say anything, she couldn't understand it and couldn't help it, anyway, it had already been withdrawn, and she was embarrassed to return it herself.
After arriving at the finance office, it didn't take much to report his name and withdraw his salary, but the people in the finance room wanted to transfer money to Li Zhi and the others, but there was no 'communicator', so there was no way to receive it.
Another thing, the finance office wants to deduct ten psionic blocks from each of the two people!
The money can be exchanged for cash directly, but the psionic block is not able to pay less, no matter what the other party does, Li Zhi chooses to 'disagree'.
"No, ten psionic blocks per month is statutory, we have advanced two months' salary, so twenty psionic blocks per person is indispensable, if you don't give it, then I'm sorry, I can only go to Manager Zhong and ask her what the situation is." Li Zhi said flatly.
The two people in the financial room looked at each other and gave them all the psionic blocks with a stinky face.
When she came out, Cui Ling was a little worried, she thought that she and Li Zhi had just arrived, and they should not have conflicts with the company's personnel, especially the personnel in the finance room.
Li Zhi smiled and said nothing, just ordinary staff in the finance room, thinking that the two people were from the welfare home, thinking that they were easy to bully, so he wanted to take advantage of them.
"Let's go, go buy a 'communicator' first, otherwise you will have to bring cash when you go out in the future, it's not safe. Li Zhi smiled and diverted the topic.
Cui Ling's eyes lit up, although she grew up in a welfare home, she didn't even know what a 'communicator' was.
"Pretty expensive, isn't it?" whispered hesitantly.
Li Zhi laughed and said: "It's not expensive, the cheap one is only a few hundred yuan, and the average one is more than a thousand, and this is a necessity of life, if we want to better integrate into this society, we need a 'communicator'." ”
Cui Ling was explained by Li Zhi, didn't say anything, and followed Li Zhi to the supermarket's 'communicator' sales area, one by one, the communicators, packed in boxes, hung on the shelves.
"Let's buy this!" Cui Ling directly chose a gray-black 'communicator' produced by Ice Soul Technology, and the name on the packaging box was 'Xiaoice Soul' communicator.
"This is the cheapest, right?" Li Zhi also saw many brands, but there are only three communicators under 1,000 yuan to choose from, one is the 'Xiaoice Soul' chosen by Cui Ling, and the other two are brands that Li Zhi has never heard of.
"Yes, this is not only the cheapest, but also the most practical, basically ordinary people, wage earners, almost all use this one. Solid leather and durability are its advantages, and 'Ice Soul' is also a big brand, so there are more people to choose from!" Cui Ling turned around and gave Li Zhi a popular science.
"Do you know the brand 'Ice Soul'?" Li Zhi asked curiously, looking at her.
Ice Soul Technology's 'Xiaoice Soul' communicator, only eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan, among all communicators, the lowest price, the remaining two communicators below 1,000 yuan, the price is ninety-nine-eight.
"You know, Ice Soul Technology is a subsidiary of the Ice Soul Group, and now the Ice Soul Virtual Entertainment Company, but after the Earth was listed on the 'Star Exchange', the company with the highest market capitalization, in addition, the Ice Soul Group also has its own starfleet, Mars City. Cui Ling began to educate Li Zhi on popular science.
The world's largest company by market capitalization?
"Hey!" Cui Ling suddenly sighed and whispered: "But now the Ice Soul Group seems to be quite difficult, many consortiums from other galaxies want to meddle in the fat of virtual network applications, this year, there are dozens of new virtual games alone, although the 'second world' is still in the mainstream position, but it has also been robbed of many users by those technology game virtual companies in other galaxies."
Secondly, the Ice Soul Group has suffered resistance from various countries and various consortia in various fields, and its current scale is much inferior to the previous one. ”
After finishing speaking, he seemed to feel that he had said a little too much, and stuck out his tongue embarrassedly and said: "Oh, what am I telling you to do here, although the Ice Soul Group is not as strong as before, it is still a super-first-class company in the world, so the products of the Ice Soul Group are still very quality-assured." ”
Took a 'Xiaoice Soul' communicator, handed it to Li Zhi, and did not let Li Zhi choose other styles of communicators, while walking out, he said: "This communicator of the Ice Soul Group, whether it is function or security, is not worse than those products of more than a thousand yuan, many people say that this product is being sold by the Ice Soul Group at a loss, in order to speak of conscience and provide ordinary people with some benefits within their ability, not to make money, so we buy this, we will definitely not buy bad!"
Li Zhi touched his nose, it seems that the reputation of the Ice Soul Group, especially the reputation and status in the hearts of ordinary people, is still quite high.
Of course, this also has something to do with the price, if there is a cheaper product, Li Zhi feels that she will choose the cheaper product.
I made the payment at the checkout and took the 'communicator' with me.
Li Zhi has a new identity, and his registered place, like Cuiling, has become a welfare home. After all kinds of binding, register a 'bank network account'.
Cui Ling pulled Li Zhi and deposited all the money in her hand into the ATM for the first time, only to breathe a long sigh of relief, with more than 10,000 yuan on her body, and she felt that it was not safe to walk.
"We only went to work at four o'clock in the afternoon, what are we going to do now, are we going to eat?" Cui Ling asked Li Zhi. At noon, you can get a 'working meal' worth 35 yuan in any restaurant in the supermarket.
"Well, let's go eat first!" Li Zhi thought for a moment and nodded. He was a little hungry, and besides, he needed to check something on the Internet.
I found the entrance to a restaurant on this floor, walked in, no one received a working meal, and then found a place with few people to sit down.
"Do you know how to rent a house?" asked her.
Li Zhi doesn't know what kind of easy-to-use 'APP' software is on the Internet now, but he knows that if he wants to find a house for daily living with Cuiling nearby, it is far less convenient and fast to find it by himself than relying on the Internet.
Cui Ling laughed, whispered to the communicator on her wrist: "Xiaoice, you come out!"
"Hey!"
One was about twenty centimeters tall, and a color projection appeared in front of Cui Ling.
Li Zhi looked at the familiar influence, the whole person was stunned, but soon came back to his senses, crying and laughing, 'Smart Xiaoice', since it is a product of the Ice Soul Group, it must have its own 'Smart Xiaoice' software, confused, how can this be forgotten.
"Master, do you have any orders?"
Xiaoice's virtual influence asked with a smile!
Li Zhi watched from the sidelines, he hadn't seen him for more than a year, he really missed Xiaoice a little, but why didn't he find himself when he appeared Xiaoice or Ice Soul Intelligence?
How did he know that the main god of the Nebula, the center of the Interstellar Business Alliance, had announced Li Zhi's death, and all the previous information about him had also been erased, so now he was completely a 'newcomer'.
The 'smart Xiaoice' in front of Cui Ling is just a virtual program, and she doesn't have her own real ideas.
"We want to find a house from nearby, can you help find it, it's not too far from where we work, and the price is not too bad. Cui Ling told it what she wanted.
"Okay, master, please wait, Xiaoice will find it for you!"
Soon, some columns of the surrounding community appeared in front of Cui Ling and Li Zhi in the form of virtual projections!
