Chapter 961: New Year's Money
Waving goodbye to the last guest, Atletico let out a breath of turbidity and walked towards the next door.
Behind him, the banquet company staff was carefully cleaning the used rooms and yards, and he just had to wait patiently and pay the final payment.
Walking along the holly wall, two open wrought iron gates soon appeared on the side, the black railing was wrapped with withered yellow vines, and the old loofahs and dried gourds on them swayed and rustled in the wind, looking very strange, or rather individual.
His parents-in-law live here, and a few loofahs and vegetable gourds are the handiwork of his mother-in-law, Lu Wei. Every time she comes back here and sees the seeds she casually sowed grow little by little, blossom and bear fruit, she becomes very happy, and she inevitably takes pictures with emotion and sends them to the circle of friends. And the reason why these plants can thrive is also inseparable from her circle of friends - the plants planted by the "Queen Mother" and often cared about, and the community property naturally dare not slack off.
Through the iron gate, Atletico walked briskly past the unmanned front yard, pushed open a glass door, and entered the villa hall.
When he came in, the children who were sitting or standing turned their heads and called sweetly, "Daddy!"
Holding down the eldest daughter who rushed over, and chatting with her father-in-law and mother-in-law about the gourd and loofah outside, Atletico walked through the hall and went up to the second floor.
In the upstairs living room, Tang Jiayi was lying on the sofa very unvividly, holding a thin monitor with both hands, focusing on the screen, and did not notice the footsteps getting closer and closer.
Seeing this scene, Atletico Madrid avoided the other party's gaze, reached out and pulled the notebook keyboard on the coffee table, unlocked the keyboard casually, and pressed it randomly.
"Huh?" The screen suddenly jumped and cut, Tang Jiayi sat up and turned her head to look at the side, only then did she find her husband who was making trouble.
"Don't move!" snatched the keyboard, she grabbed the screen with both hands, and slowly inserted it into the keyboard slot, and at the same time didn't forget to complain: "The new book is good, but this slot is too annoying, and it can't be inserted if it's a little bit off.,It's just anti-human." ”
"Hey, that's your hand!" Atletico joked to his wife.
Distraction led to the failure of the installation, Tang Jiayi simply gave up and handed the keyboard and screen to Atletico Madrid, "If you don't cripple your hands, come on!"
"No problem, look at my husband!" Atletico took the two parts, held them with both hands and gently touched them to make them look like an ultra-thin laptop. Playing back and forth with the screen, he smiled smugly at his wife: "SoEasy!"
"Huh!" Tang Jiayi's face was full of disdain, "It's so demanding, can anyone else do it except you?"
"Of course there is, as long as your eyes are not dazzled and your hands are not shaking, you will be proficient if you try a few more times. ”
"Do you dare to say that to users?
Handing the notebook in his hand to the other party, Atletico said with a smile: "Of course I don't dare." ”
He then explained: "You're just a concept machine, and the design goal is to compress the thickness as much as possible, improve the appearance and portability, and then you have to sacrifice ease of use, reliability, and battery life." The official version is different from this one, the slot part has been redesigned, and the ease of use and producibility have been improved a lot, so you don't have to worry about not being able to fit the screen. ”
"Has the thickness changed?"
Atletico shrugged, "The keyboard is two millimeters thicker and weighs 33 grams." It greatly improves what you call 'the extreme design, the fragility that doesn't look strong enough, and seems to bend when you pinch it'. ”
Tang Jiayi didn't buy it, "9 . 8 and 11 . 8 It's two different concepts, okay? What do you want users to do with the world's thinnest laptops?"
Thanks to Intel's low-power processor technology, computer manufacturers have been able to significantly reduce the thickness of their notebooks, from 20+ mm in the past, all the way to 10+ mm now, and some products have improved the keyboard to get closer to 10mm. The notebook on Tang Jiayi's lap is Bee's upcoming ultra-thin core notebook BeeBookQ, with a thickness of only 9 . 8 mm.
The key to its record-breaking is the ultra-thin screen brought by the latest generation of butterfly display technology, which is only 3 percent thick. 9 mm, and the edge part is less than 3 mm, which looks like a knife edge. And this screen also has a special detachable design, which can be removed and held in the hand to pretend to be an ultra-thin tablet.
The reason why I say impersonation is because this screen works independently from the keyboard part, even from a distance.
Different from the so-called 2-in-1 devices of other tablet keyboard cameo notebooks, this product is actually a laptop transformed by wireless display technology, the screen is just a screen, and the functional modules of the processor, memory, battery, speaker and peripheral interface are still under the keyboard, so naturally you can't get rid of it.
Even though there are still many usage limitations, BBQ has managed to cover up all the ugliness with a thin and ultra-light screen, and the ultra-light and ultra-thin screen can bring an excellent user experience in scenarios such as taking notes, watching videos, and playing games.
Without waiting for Bee to arrange a special press conference for it, this mysterious device with outstanding appearance was pulled out of the clues by the sharp-eyed media, and the related articles quickly attracted a lot of speculation and a lot of attention. Then Bee pushed the boat, admitted its existence, and launched a paid reservation page on the Bee Mall, and more than 100,000 people made reservations for the device.
These people are coming for the thinnest notebooks, and if the goods are not right, many people may turn black because of this.
Atletico spread his hands and said helplessly: "I can't help it, you can't have both, the original design is troublesome to manufacture, and it is also troublesome for users to use." ”
Tang Jiayi looked at her husband steadily, "When did you change your surname to Yu?"
"No, no, no," Atletico shook his head violently with a look of disgust, "it's not the same thing! There will be three versions by then, the standard version 11 . 8, concept version 9 . 8, as well as the normal version that cancels the separable design, the thickness is still 9. 8. Users can choose by themselves according to their needs. ”
"It's not just three versions of the screen, what about the processor and the system? It's impossible to just use Core and Win10, and put your own bee heart and bee system aside to eat ashes, right?"
"Don't worry, bread will be there, milk will be there. ”
The lady laughed, "It's just that the concept version is going to be gone, and it will definitely be out of stock at that time, so users can only buy other models." ”
Atletico Madrid spread his hands again, "It's almost, processors, memory, and hard disks are out of stock, and the screen has to compete with the tablet department for share, and it's normal for production capacity to not keep up." ”
As soon as she heard these specific production details, Tang Jiayi's interest suddenly dropped by several orders of magnitude, and she turned her head to a new question, "Don't talk about this, how are you talking to them?
Of course, Atletico asked something, but he still replied with a smile that was not asked: "How do I know this, you have to ask the kitchen!"
Tang Jiayi nodded clearly, "Since you can still laugh, it shouldn't have been cut off much flesh." ”
"My dear, there are also relatives of yours in it, how can you say that?"
In the past few years, more and more relatives have found them for help, most of them are from the Tang family, and the young couple are overwhelmed, and the Tang Qi couple are often "visited". Tang Jiayi had already seen that those people were not pleasing to the eye, but now when she heard her husband mention them, she couldn't help but explode, put down the screen in her hand, and said angrily: "Is it okay for relatives to be distant and close? I would rather they don't exist at all!"
Sitting next to his wife, stretching out his hand to soothe the other party's irritable mood, Atletico said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, how happy do you think our mother is today?"
"I have no opinion on spending money to buy happiness, but I can't ask for anything, I should be wronged!"
"It's not much, except for our third uncle's house, which is a little troublesome, and the things that others ask for are not too difficult. ”
Hearing him mention that person, Tang Jiayi blew up again, "My dad only has one younger brother, where did I come from the third uncle? It's just a cousin who doesn't know how far away, I have only been to his house once......
"And then he was sent a dollar, which you have said many times," Facing his wife's suddenly fierce gaze, Atletico smiled and threw out a new question: "Our nephews and nephews should be home now, right? ”
The anger suddenly stopped, and Tang Jiayi smiled: "Of course! It is both valuable and weighty, and it is not too good to learn exchange rate and financial knowledge through this." ”
"I hope so. ”
……
In the living room where the TV is located, strange cries are heard one after another, and occasionally the sound of weapons firing can be heard suddenly and whizzing.
Fang Junqi incarnated as an interstellar hunter, driving a modified loader similar to a pickup truck, and using the additional weapons on it to clean up the endless little monsters on the planet.
Since discovering that PT2 and 4K TVs are more compatible, he has changed the location of his games, hiding at home and playing games whenever he has time. Principal Fang went back to work in advance to prepare for the start of school, Fang's mother went out to dance during the day, played cards and was not at home, but no one grabbed the TV from him, and several games were opened in a row in ten days, and the games that I didn't like when I got started were several times this.
The sudden ringtone of the mobile phone pulled Fang Junqi back to reality from the alien war of conquering the sea of stars and opening up living space. Pausing the game, grabbing his phone, he casually asked, "Hey, who?"
Cousin Bai Yuexuan's voice came from the earpiece: "Cousin, it's me!"
Fang Junqi said impatiently: "Ah, what's the matter? What's the matter with me?
"That's right, I received some foreign coins today, you can help me sell them online!"
"Huh?" Brother Qi became curious, and threw out three questions one after another: "Which country? Where did you get it? How many?"
"Ah, I look, it seems to be the Republic of Macedonia, and thousands. ”
"Oh! It's that small country that is so powerful at spreading rumors, you won't receive fake ' coins, right?"
On the other side of the phone, Bai Yuexuan hurriedly said, "It can't be fake." This is the New Year's money I received when I went to eat at Jade Garden today. ”
"Huh?" Fang Junqi reacted with a twist of his mind, "Is it your cousin or your uncle?" I call them brother and sister, and you have to call me 'uncle'?"
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while, and after a while, Bai Yuexuan's voice came, "Don't talk about this, brother, you're still playing games at home, right?" I'll come to you, and by the way, let you see my New Year's money." ”
"Oh!" Fang Junqi didn't care, and casually agreed, "Okay, come on." ”
Then he reacted again, and hurriedly stopped: "Wait! You better stay at home, I'll go look for you!"
It seems too unreliable to let a ten-year-old child go out with a few thousand yuan, so it's better to go over and see for yourself. And a few thousand dollars are beyond the control of the child, and if necessary, you have to talk to your aunt and uncle.
Fang Junqi's attention was attracted by the fact that Tang Jiayi sent thousands of New Year's money to her little cousin, and she didn't think at all why her aunt didn't take the initiative to "keep" the money, nor did she think of searching the exchange rate of Macedonian money on the Internet, so she went out in such a hurry.
The distance between the two families is not far, Fang Junqi went downstairs to pick up the bicycle, and soon rode to the downstairs of his aunt's house.
My aunt and his wife were not at home, and it was my little cousin who opened the door for him.
As soon as he saw the other party, Fang Junqi couldn't wait to ask, "Where's the money?"
"Ahh
I walked over and picked up one, and looked down to see a somewhat distorted stone head printed on the surface of the brand-new orange banknote, and the eye-catching "500" on the left.
"Oh, that's good! It's a big ticket. ”
"What is this?" Bai Yuexuan also walked over at this time, lowered his head and rummaged through the other banknotes on the table, picked up a brown one and handed it over, "This is called Meng!5000!"
Taking the banknote that was also printed with a stone statue, Fang Junqi had some doubts in his heart.
In order to prevent counterfeit banknotes and money laundering, countries usually do not issue banknotes with too high value, and the larger the denomination, the less valuable they are. The maximum denomination of 10,000 yen banknotes is only exchanged for soft sister coins is only more than 600, and the largest denomination of 50,000 won banknotes is even worse, and there are only more than 300 in exchange, as for the Zimbabwean dollar, which has completely bankrupted and withdrawn from circulation, the maximum denomination of 100 trillion yuan that breaks through the sky, the actual value is not even seven yuan.
Thinking of this, Fang Junqi hurriedly took out his mobile phone to search the Internet, and then he found that the Macedonian dinar was really cheap, one hundred dinars was equivalent to twelve yuan, and the pile of Macedonian currency on the table was actually only worth a thousand yuan.
Of course, 1,000 yuan is not a small amount of money, but it is not very valuable at the moment when the New Year's money is rising, especially when there are still a few rich women in the world, it is even more strange, "It's only 1,000 yuan, can she get it?"
Hearing this question, Bai Yuexuan whispered, "It's my bad luck that I didn't draw euros and Swiss francs, otherwise I would have made a lot of money." ”
Tang Jiayi's red envelope contains a complete set of currencies, if it is spread out with a high value and a large denomination, it can be as high as several thousand when exchanged for soft sister coins.
"Hehe, I really have a need to learn quickly," Fang Junqi rolled his eyes, "You should be glad that you didn't draw the Venezuelan bolivar." ”
Because oil prices plummeted, Venezuela, which could not sell oil happily, immediately fell into hyperinflation.
