In 2004, the first dot-com bubble had not yet completely ended, and the stock prices of many high-tech companies were cut in half. However, the practical work has not stopped, and various countries are actively laying network cables, building communication towers, and launching artificial communication satellites.

There is hardware in the country, but there is no software, and content cannot be provided. Domestic communication providers have vigorously promoted SMS and developed a series of SMS packages to make mobile phones accepted by young people.

The government has formulated various policies and built a "mobile Monternet", which includes various functions such as SMS, MMS, mobile Internet access (WAP), treasure chest (mobile game), etc., and has increased the service content of mobile phones, such as hot mobile phone ringtones, weather forecasts, mobile phone mailboxes, etc.

In 2004, the differences between the functional machines of major brands, in addition to the added value of the brand, the fineness of the workmanship, and the similarity are extremely high. In addition to the newly established mobile phone supermarket chains around the country, the newly opened Gome, Suning, and large and medium-sized electrical appliance stores are also important sales channels.

The price of mobile phones under the same brand is mainly reflected in the length of standby time and whether the ringtone is abundant; the mobile phone factory made a big fuss about the camera and display screen in the later stage; of course, some innovations have been made in the design and mold opening, and styles such as straight plates, slide covers, and flip covers have been developed.

Li Xin's mobile phone is the new Ericsson multi-chord mobile phone, also known as a music mobile phone. Since she used her new mobile phone, she has thrown the tape recorder for listening practice and the MPS for listening to songs into the drawer to eat dust.

Although Sun Buqi is not an electronic enthusiast, he also used it in his previous life and didn't know how many smartphones he used. He is not interested in the current blurred screen, simple functions, and Internet speed comparable to the feature machine of a turtle, and he does not feel "high, big, and up" at all, worthy of the value of thousands of yuan.

However, without mobile phones, it is really not convenient for everyone to contact each other, and it is no longer the era when communication basically relies on roaring. He felt in his pocket, feeling shy, and after checking the balance on his bank card, he immediately gave up his plans to buy a new phone.

Kari is less than 8,000 yuan, which is the tuition fee from the family, as well as a few months' living expenses. The tuition fee for a year in college is 3,400 yuan, plus 600 yuan for accommodation, and if there is no subsidy of dozens of yuan per month from the school, eating is a problem.

Sun Buqi is from a small township in Qilu, his mother is a farmer in his hometown, his father is a physical education teacher in a township school, and there is a younger brother who is studying below.

Although he did not go home during the summer vacation, he saved 600 yuan in round-trip travel expenses, and chose to stay in school to work and study, painting the white walls of the freshman dormitory for more than a month, and only earned a salary of 500 yuan.

There are few opportunities for university students to work part-time, and society is particularly unfriendly to men. If it is a girl, she can also be a tutor, at least a job with her brain, the hourly salary is relatively high, and it is relatively stable for a long time;

College boys can only hand out flyers outside and go to the surrounding shops part-time. The surrounding bosses can only provide dozens of jobs, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the thousands of poor students.

Sun Buqi had already planned that he couldn't afford a new mobile phone, so he could receive a second-hand mobile phone from his senior brother and sister who was about to intern, which was much more cost-effective than going to a second-hand mobile phone store outside.

The teacher of the college verbally demanded the payment of tuition fees yesterday, but Sun Buqi found an excuse to postpone it; the money in the card was not a tuition fee, it was a start-up fund, and the tuition fee could not be paid for the time being. The school's scholarship and national scholarship are issued around New Year's Day, and time waits for no one.

Li Xin complained that Sun Buqi's contact was inconvenient, and he regretted it after saying it. She knows that the other party's family is not good, and if she says something like this, it is obviously "showing off her wealth".

In more than a year, the two have crossed paths a lot, and they are almost intimate friends; Sun Buqi's dress, grooming, eating, and extra expenses are obviously not children of wealthy families, and they may not be able to afford the high mobile phone and mobile phone bills.

In 2004, the penetration rate of mobile phones among college students was still low, with an average of less than a quarter of the people in each class having a mobile phone; In a directory of mobile phone numbers, only Sun Buqi left the dormitory phone, which looked very abrupt.

If it was Sun Buqi in the past, he might feel harsh when he heard the girl's question, but now he has long been accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, and he doesn't care about the girl's unintentional mistakes, and he doesn't put it in his heart at all.

When he was a freshman, Sun Buqi used 50 yuan from his graduated brother to buy a classic car that rang everywhere except for the bells; Li Xin spent 1,500 yuan to buy a yellow women's mountain bike during the Chinese New Year, which was very eye-catching in school.

In 2001, the construction of Zijin New Area of Zhejiang University began, and in early October 2002, the first batch of students moved into the new campus. The expansion of the campus of Zhejiang University has sounded the clarion call for a new university town.

Not far behind, the major universities have responded to the country's call for "expanding enrollment", and at the same time in order to improve the reputation of the school. They began to stake land, borrowing money to build a new campus, and spreading the already small campus into a bigger pie.

Li Xin saw Sun Buqi leave the car, and asked curiously: "Why don't you lock it, aren't you afraid that the car will be "borrowed" and left......?"

Sun Buqi shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "A new lock is worth more than my car! Let's put the two cars together, I believe that there will be no one who will not open his eyes and take my little donkey." ”

Li Xin covered her mouth and smiled secretly, locking the two cars together. She regretted it after locking the car, remembering the custom of drinking a glass of wine in her hometown, the two cars were locked tightly together, more like a lover drinking a glass of wine, and more like a "forever knotted and concentric" lock.

Peng Xuesheng saw the two coming together again, with a gentle smile on his face, and motioned for the two to sit casually and pour water by himself. Do it yourself, have plenty of food and clothing!

He took out the newly printed document, handed it to the two of them, and said solemnly: "Your draft is just a rough outline, the logic is not rigorous, and there are all kinds of loopholes that can be big or small. I corrected the mistake overnight, reprinted it, and then we used this revised version as a blueprint to report to the secretary together. ”

Li Xin looked at Sun Buqi with a strange face, Mr. Peng's words today are not the same as what "Sun Banxian" expected yesterday, is the other party really good at fortune telling? I don't know if the marriage is accurate......

Sun Buqi's face remained the same, and he took the "revised version" with both hands, and the content of the new draft was much the same as his own version before, except that some adjectives were changed, and the future popular words, such as "giving power" and "bursting", were changed to words and phrases used now.

Li Xin's face was even more strange when he saw the content of the revised version, the "revised version" was much thicker than Sun Buqi's "rough" version, and there were a lot more words;

Others are "changing the soup but not the medicine", Peng Xuesheng directly poured the "medicine" from the bowl into the basin, diluted it with some water, and it became the fruit of his own labor.

Li Xin has no social experience, her joys, sorrows, and sorrows are displayed on one face, and the more she looks at it, the deeper her brows are wrinkled, and she even laughs angrily, with a disdainful smile on the corner of her mouth.
