Gu Biao made a temporary decision, and he had a lot of business ideas to talk about with Ren Zhengyi, so he made an appointment to drink and chat slowly at lunchtime.

Han Ting was very discerning, and took advantage of the opportunity to walk next to Xiao Sui and persuade in a low voice: "Miss Xiao, if you are not interested in those business world experiences, it is better to give each other a comfortable place." I'm sure Xiao Gu will also relax a little. ”

Xiao Sui didn't think that there was anything wrong with what Han Ting said, but felt that this Teacher Han also knew Gu Biao's personality quite well.

Xiao Sui found a spare time and whispered to Gu Biao: "Husband, then I will arrange it myself at noon, you are busy." ”

Gu Biao was a little embarrassed at first: "I'll just talk about business for a while." ”

Xiao Sui smiled generously: "It's okay, I'm not interested in these in the first place, why stay and affect your work." I just heard from you that the pager is useless when it leaves the main city, and there is no signal, but it reminds me.

Or I'll give away my pager. During the time when you are in a meeting in Hujiang, I am with you anyway, and you don't need to call me alone. When you return to the United States after the meeting, it will be a waste for you to put this one, so I will use it again. ”

Gu Biao thought about it, it really makes sense, Xiao Sui's temper is still quite homely, there is a kind of small jasper, and he will not waste money when he has it.

"Okay, then you can dispose of it casually, and when I finish the meeting, I will leave this one to you, thrift is also a virtue. "But have you thought about who to give it to?"

Xiao Sui's expression was slightly exaggerated: "What about 12,000 yuan! How can I give it to my classmates casually, even if I am willing to give it to them, I don't dare to take it." It's good for my mother, she often makes movies upside down and doesn't have a fixed place, and there is a pager that makes it easy for me to find her. ”

Gu Biao thought about it, but he was negligent.

This is Xiao Sui's filial piety, of course it should be.

Moreover, compared with white-collar workers who sit in the office, art workers who often go from place to place do need pagers more. People who make movies also earn relatively well and are not envied by their colleagues.

Gu Biao just said with empathy in the pain points of the era of information overload and junk information explosion in later generations:

"Then you can arrange it yourself, but I advise you to keep a low profile, having a pager is not necessarily a good thing, maybe the work will be busier - the boss can easily find you, and the sudden overtime will be piled on your head. ”

Xiao Sui was stunned for a moment, unable to understand what Gu Biao meant at all.

It is also impossible to understand that the gap between purchasing agents is too big.

Those IT practitioners in the future, who don't want to turn off their mobile phones after work, block WeChat, and try to prevent others from finding themselves.

Who can understand this kind of pain in an era when communication is extremely scarce.

Gu Biao's reminder is not pretending, but sincere.

But when others listen to it, they feel awkward.

It's a bit like a fat man with high blood cholesterol and high blood pressure, and he reminds a skinny hemp pole who has been hungry for half a month: Brother, fat meat is harmful to health! Don't eat big fat meat! Be sure to spit it out, only ** meat!

……

Xiao Sui came out of the Zhaolong Hotel, and wanted to take a taxi home by himself, so as not to be too eye-catching.

But Gu Biao's bodyguard insisted on driving him, saying that it was Gu Biao's order, because everyone around him might be targeted by Brittan agents.

Xiao Sui didn't insist anymore.

The only thing she could do was to choose a Mercedes-Benz that usually opened the road and was used by the bodyguards, and she didn't use Gu Biao's special one, after all, if Gu Biao had other business to go out at noon.

At the same time, it can also be as low-key as possible.

The road was empty, and it took more than ten minutes to arrive.

The Xiao family's house was originally one of the dormitory areas of Hujiang Film Studio. That is to say, a considerable part of the staff houses of the film studio are divided into this area, but there are also people from other units mixed in, and most of the subdivision policies before the 80s were like this.

During the Chinese New Year, Xiao Sui's stepmother Su Ping of course also took a vacation, but there would be colleagues at home who would walk around to pay New Year's greetings.

Especially Su Ping's conditions here are good, although the house is the same as everyone else, but there are all electrical appliances, and it is normal to have more colleagues at the door. There are also a few people who bring their children to Su Ping's place and watch imported films on Sony video recorders.

Although Xiao Sui didn't understand her husband's reminder just now, she was still willing to act unconditionally according to her husband's instructions, for fear that after letting her mother's colleagues know that her mother had a CALL machine, it would really cause her mother to be busier at work in the future, so she didn't show it.

When she saw a guest, she greeted politely: "Mom, I'm back, I'll bring you something small." Uncle Xu, Aunt Liu are good, Aunt Zhang is good. ”

"Yo, isn't this Xiao Sui, come back, didn't your mother say that you went out to travel these days, I haven't seen you more and more delicate in a year. ”

The one who spoke was the middle-aged woman who Xiao Sui called "Aunt Liu", she was Liu Yan, the wife of production director Xu Ling, and she and her husband visited the homes of rich colleagues for the Chinese New Year.

"Aunt Liu smiled, I'm not just like that, I'll only go out to travel tomorrow. Xiao Sui was a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained.

She knew that her mother said that she went out to travel to make excuses for her to live with Gu Biao these days and not go home. After all, it's not something that can be publicized.

Liu Yan didn't realize it: "What good things did you bring to your mother? Suizi must have brought back rare things, who doesn't know your little Gu's ability." Let's open our eyes together. ”

Xiao Sui remembered her husband's teachings, lost her mind for a while, and squirmed and sluggish for a few seconds, afraid of causing trouble to her mother.

Su Ping didn't know the reason for her hesitation, so she took it generously and unpacked it herself.

"Alas......" Xiao Sui wanted to stop it, but he didn't know how to organize his rhetoric for a while.

"What is this?" Su Ping read it repeatedly, and even briefly read the outline on the manual, but still didn't recognize it.

Xu Ling and Liu Yan, as well as several other female colleagues, heard that Su Ping didn't recognize them, so they hurriedly came over to watch the excitement.

Even if it's a rare thing that you can't use, at least you've seen it, and you can still brag about it when you go home.

Developed like this, Xiao Sui could only say bluntly: "This is called a pager, or it can be called a BEEPER or CALL machine in English, that is, if someone calls to find you, the machine will flash and ring." This is also Motorola's superlative, bringing an electric digital display. ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, although they understand every word Xiao Sui says, and it is indeed Chinese, but they still can't turn their brains, and they don't have brains to make up application scenarios.

"Then what's the use of this function?" asked Liu Yan bluntly.

Xiao Sui explained speechlessly: "...... That is, you can find out if someone is looking for you, and then find the nearest phone as soon as possible to call back. ”

In contrast, Xu Ling was the leader in the end, he was the production director of the factory a few years ago, and now he has been promoted to the deputy director of the studio, and his consciousness is very high, and he reacted immediately:

"Yes, this thing is very useful for individual bosses who often run around, work and business are tight, and business opportunities are fleeting, and people who are factory managers should also have one. ”

As he spoke, he unceremoniously took it over and looked at it for two seconds, and exclaimed: "Tsk, I haven't seen it before, what is the new product called 'Motorola Company'? It seems to be an American company that is going to come to our city to attend an international academic conference recently, right? In the end, it is high-tech, it should be very expensive, and it is not that the small boss cannot afford it." ”

Xiao Sui explained: "Uncle Xu is really insightful, Motorola is an American brand, you may not know, our Hujiang is now the first city in China to open the paging station business, Motorola's wireless paging network in the city, just a few days ago. The first batch of pagers was also sent by Motorola just yesterday, and my little Gu was also personally sent two by President Galvin of Motorola. ”

All of Su Ping's colleagues were in awe: Xiao Sui's machine was personally sent by the big boss of a large American company!

"This ...... It was a gift from the boss of Motorola himself? Then this batch must be the most upscale, right? If you buy it, it will cost you more?" Xu Ling couldn't help but be curious and wanted to inquire.

Even if you can't afford it, as long as you know the market, you can go to others and brag about it.

Similarly, the poor who can't afford it and know the price are more advanced than the poor who don't know the price and don't even know that this thing exists.

Xiao Sui: "It's the most high-end, if you buy this one at the Post and Telecommunications Bureau next month, it should be priced at 10,002." But there is a cheap 4,000 yuan, that is, there is no screen, the caller number cannot be displayed, only the ringtone, you have to call back the customer service of the pager, report your own number and let her help you check the caller number. ”

"Shhh

It was far more shocked than when Xiao Sui first heard about this price.

If you have more money than a 10,000 yuan household, you can use it to buy a caller ID.

This has to be a big boss with a lot of importance and business opportunities, so he needs such a thing.

Xu Ling felt that as the deputy director of his own Hujiang Film Studio, it was decent enough to buy more than 4,000 without a screen.

Unless there is really a wealthy film businessman in Xiangjiang who is willing to give him one when he is engaged in a co-production, he doesn't mind getting 10,000 2......

It's a pity that none of the friends he knows in the film industry in Xiangjiang have such a thick friendship and are willing to give him such expensive things.

Xu Ling didn't dare to think about it, and the actors, screenwriters, and technicians in other factories didn't dare to think about it.

Xu Ling sighed, carefully put the things back on the surface of the box, and said to Xiao Sui teasingly: "Suizi, you are not righteous, such a good thing, you don't let us open our eyes, just now you wanted to sneak away from us and give it to your mother." We have been friends for many years, who will be hot to your family. ”

Xiao Sui was a little inhuman, so he could only explain: "I didn't mean that, I was ...... just now I was taught a lesson by the reminder in my family, and my heart was a little confused. He said that in the United States, the big bosses have CALL machines that are privately placed, and they only know about important relatives and friends.

Of course I'm not guarding against you, Uncle Xu, you are the most considerate of my mother at work. But I'm afraid that there are many people who know that my mother has a CALL machine, and everyone will call in the future, and there will be no peace at home, and I will be fired after work. I want to be filial to her and be more relaxed......"

Xu Ling and the others stared at the dog leash.

What kind of ideological realm is this?

"I've always heard that Americans really get sick after eating meat, and today I believe it. If we Chinese have meat to eat, a pig will be eaten for you!

Oh my God, if you give me a CALL machine, I wish it had someone looking for it to ring 24 hours a day, and I would have face if I didn't sleep. Who's going to think about 'bothering to rest'. ”

They have confirmed that the other party is really not hypocritical, but the realm is two dimensional walls behind.

You can't imagine what rich people are worried about.
