The high-tech computer city is still the same as it is in memory: busy and lively. This kind of enthusiasm will not decline until 15 years later, and it is never a new computer city that has killed these traditional computer cities, nor is it a home appliance hypermarket such as Suning and Gome, but a widely flourishing e-commerce.
But in 1998, the computer city was still at the moment of take-off, far from showing the decline of the time, especially in the summer vacation is the purchase and sales of two booms, a bunch of parents accompanied the college entrance examination to buy computers, this is the first wave of big business, the second wave of big business is the new students after the registration of the tide of the machine.
However, due to the price, most families choose desktops, only 12 out of 10 choose notebooks, even if you want to buy low-cost products, because a notebook starts with less than 10,000 yuan, and more than 4-50,000 yuan, and the early 10,000 yuan is still poor, which exceeds the ability of most people to afford. However, Chang Tianhao has a clear goal, as long as he has a notebook, so after arriving at the destination, he pulled Cheng Yushi and prepared to go straight to the store.
For example, the current advertising is hot, and the Taiwanese brand Jin Lunfei, which will no longer be seen in a few years, focuses on low prices, and its advertising words Chang Tianhao can still remember it 20 years later - "Jin Lunfei, just can't fly", but he is very clear about the actual use, which is really unsatisfactory. Laptops are sometimes the same as cars, and the same configuration is very different because of the different workmanship and integration capabilities.
Only those with more than 15,000 or even more than 20,000 international big-name notebooks can be said to have relatively complete performance and configuration, and more importantly, they are stable and reliable.
In this era, Compaq (Compaq) and Hewlett-Packard (HP) have not merged, and IBM's Thinkpad series has not been sold to Lenovo, and it is still a high-ranking international top brand, as for NEC, DEC, Fujitsu, Toshiba and other brands that are almost invisible in later generations, they are now also well-known first-class brands.
Merchants have seen the business opportunities inside, have played special prices to attract customers, all kinds of banners and distribution of small advertising shopping guides everywhere, and even see someone come to say that they want to pull people to their own stores, the competition is very fierce.
Cheng Yushi, who was walking by his hand, was a little shy at first, and wanted to pull his hand out, but little Bourgeois Chang said seriously: "There are many people, what should you do if you get lost?"
Cheng Yushi originally thought that he was talking nonsense again in order to take advantage of the opportunity, but she didn't expect to be surrounded by several enthusiastic shopping guides as soon as she entered: "Classmates, classmates, install a machine and go to our house to have a look......" Not only was she invited, but she even dragged her in her hand, which scared her.
Chang Tianhao grabbed her while skillfully opening these shopping guides: "Thank you, I only buy notebooks." โ
Now Cheng Yushi is silent, but has a sense of security that is protected, and the ostrich thought comes up again in the next second: Anyway, he crossed the street two days ago and held hands in the bookstore today, and Shen Lili often goes out to play hand in hand with boys, why can't she be more emancipated?
The two struggled through a bunch of shopping guides who distributed advertisements and pulled people around, and were about to walk to the largest ThinkPad store, when a voice suddenly came from behind them: "Rain poem!"
Chang Tianhao subconsciously let go of his hand, turned his head back, and saw a boy greeting him more than a dozen steps behind him, and a middle-aged woman next to him.
Before he could ask Cheng Yushi, the boy had already rushed over in three steps and two steps, and said directly to Cheng Yushi: "Yushi, I didn't expect to meet you here! โ
While talking, the woman also came up and greeted Cheng Yushi warmly: "Shishi ......"
"Aunt Song is good!" Cheng Yushi first said hello to the woman, and then reluctantly responded to the boy, "I've been reading outside for the past two days." โ
Aunt Song glanced at Chang Tianhao, smiled at Cheng Yushi and said: "Xiaofei and I bought the computer, and you are also there? You received the admission letter? I saw your mother two days ago, and she said that you have taken the examination for the economic law of the University of Finance, congratulations! Xiaofei went to Tongji to study civil engineering, and the two of you will go to Shanghai together to have a companion......
Seeing that it was Cheng Yushi's acquaintance, Chang Tianhao asked, "Who is this?"
"He is Shen Fei, a classmate before the liberal arts and sciences class, and this Aunt Song is his mother who works in the Municipal Procuratorate. Cheng Yushi stubbornly introduced, "He is Chang Tianhao, Shen Lili's classmate." โ
Aunt Song frowned: "Lili's classmates, I haven't seen it...... Liberal arts classes?"
"Her junior high school classmate, graduated from Xishan Middle School. Cheng Yushi reluctantly made up an identity prevarication, which was to fool Chang Tianhao into Yan Guangming.
Chang Tianhao wanted to greet Shen Fei, but he was keenly aware that the other party's eyes were not very friendly, and he seemed to harbor deep prejudices. He pouted, he didn't know this person, how could he not have a cold face?
looked at Cheng Yushi, whose facial expression suddenly became stiff, guessed the only possibility, smiled, stopped stretching out his hand, and turned around and said: "Hello Aunt Song! I was admitted to the Hujiang Department of Economics, and I will also study in Shanghai when the time comes, so we will take care of each other together." โ
The words are neither humble nor arrogant: Your son is Tongji, and I am Hujiang;
There is no problem at all with this, and it is a normal passscene.
When he said this, Cheng Yushi didn't react on his face, but Shen Fei clenched his fists tightly, just now in the distance, he saw the two holding hands and talking and laughing in front of him, at first he thought it was wrong, but he didn't expect it to be the case, and now he said that it was Shen Lili's classmate, there must be a problem!
Aunt Song nodded meaningfully after hearing this, and didn't say anything, but said, "Shishi, since you also look at the computer, do you want to be with Auntie?"
"I won't buy it for the time being, so I'll take a look with Tianhao first. โ
In an awkward moment, the voice of the shopping guide sounded: "How many people come to see the computer? Come to IBM to have a look, the best laptop brand!"
Chang Tianhao had an idea, and said to the mother and son: "Auntie, take your time, Cheng Cheng, do you want to accompany me to Compaq first?"
"Good!"
Anyway, Chang Tianhao was very polite in his words and demeanor, the other party couldn't say anything, nodded and watched them leave.
After the two groups of people separated, Shen Fei also wanted to go to Compaq, but was pulled into IBM by Shen's mother, of course, she vaguely knew some of her son's thoughts in her heart, but in her mind, her son didn't have to be with Cheng Yushi, not to mention that the little girl accompanied other boys to see the computer today, and her son fell behind in the past.
Chang Tianhao knew Cheng Yushi's embarrassment, and deliberately turned around to go to the Compaq store on the other side, the girl bowed her head and walked forward with him, this time Chang Tianhao didn't hold her hand again, he felt that the girl even kept a certain distance from himself - a classmate-like distance.
When he arrived on the other side, after being sure that the other party had not noticed, Chang Tianhao smiled and said to Cheng Yushi: "Shen Fei, he must be pursuing you." โ
"You...... Nonsense!"
"Okay, okay, I'm talking nonsense, then I'll take you by the hand and go to IBM now. โ
Cheng Yushi's face was flushed with shame: "You are bad, ignore you!"
This is tantamount to not admitting himself, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of Chang Tianhao's mouth: Shen Fei must be pursuing Cheng Yushi, who probably doesn't like him, otherwise the meeting just now would never have been such an awkward and stiff expression.
Seeing that someone wanted to look at the notebook, the Compaq salesman skillfully recommended the Presario series 1681 model, with a P233MMX chip, 32M memory, 2.1G hard disk, 12.1-inch TFT color display and a fully built-in 20XCD drive. I have to sigh that the notebooks of this era are ugly and heavy, but even so, the price is still expensive.
Chang Tianhao asked familiarly: "How much?
"Built-in 33.6K cat, but also built-in **L audio and 128-bit graphics acceleration card, as long as 22800 yuan, it is our best-selling product. โ
Hearing the price of 22,800, Cheng Yushi was a little surprised, she really didn't understand the market, but the price of more than 20,000 yuan scared her: this is more than her mother's half-year salary.
Chang Tianhao shook his head, he was barely interested, but when he heard the speed of 33.6K, forget it: 56K cats have appeared, and this is still built-in, so it's a drag.
