Chapter 504: A Computer with Great Value for Money
A few years after the tech market was built, it was absolutely funny to say that the layman's first impression of it was absolutely funny.
Whether it is day or night, around the market, there will be scenes that make the 'insiders' laugh and silent, and the 'laymen' are confused: a sneaky young man, mysteriously holding a young man passing by, whispered: "Brother, do you want a CD?
When he says everything, this sneaky guy is bound to smile like 'you know what I know'.
And at this time, if the young man who is pulled is also an 'expert', he will knowingly put forward his own requirements: "What, there is such a thing, right?"
"Yes, everything. The sneaky one immediately came to his senses, and pulled open his shirt to reveal a few things inside. "Island or Western, you choose?"
There are not a few such cases, and there are also those who are deceived and abducted.
It is not unheard of for some cheeky people who think they know how to buy back the kind of pirated disc called 'A Tale of Seven Men and a Woman', only to come home and find that it is the well-known cartoon Huluwa.
That's right, it's the one who sells pirated CDs.
Whether it's a new film or television release in Xiangjiang Bay, or a singer's album, including big-budget films in the West, as long as you want, you have everything.
For just a few dollars, you can enjoy the shows you want, including the eighteen forbidden kinds.
It would be wrong to think that this is completely bad. In fact, at this time, it was because of these pirated CDs that the majority of ordinary people came into contact with things that they had never been exposed to before.
For example, many people who live in small towns and small mountain villages, and may not even have been to the county seat a few times, suddenly knew that a person named Shawshank magically used his professional economic knowledge to become a celebrity in prison after being wrongfully admitted to prison. Then it took twenty years, with a pickaxe the size of a finger, to dig a tunnel to escape, and since then I have breathed free air.
I also learned that a killer of Leon took a twelve-year-old girl to the end of the world, and they were accompanied by the potted plant that had been held in the little girl's arms.
I also met a foreigner named Forrest Gump, who is good at running and extremely inspirational......
Since then, people have known many European and American names, such as Michael Jackson, Stallone, Hepburn......
Many young people talk about the first drop of blood every day, discussing words that most people don't understand, such as back to the future, time travel, Predator, and alien.
Some things really can't be simply said to be good or bad, and at the stage when the consultation is not developed enough, these omnipotent and pervasive pirated disc vendors are really unintentionally acting as disseminators of civilization exchanges.
For example, in Sanchahe Town, everyone relies on the 'outdoor antenna' in the yard to watch TV. It is a bamboo pole with an 'antenna' made of aluminum alloy of various shapes.
Moreover, this 'antenna' is still active, and you must turn the antenna at any time to adjust the position to see the TV program. If you hang the antenna crooked in windy weather, you won't be able to see anything.
There are also very few TV programs that can be seen, and when a program sees a gust of wind blowing in the middle of the program, someone has to run out in a hurry, and it also happens that the antenna is turned to adjust the position.
If you want to say that this also has a benefit, you can see if there is a TV at the gate of someone's house - the 'outdoor antenna' is said to be the higher the better, and some people also deliberately buy a big bamboo with a thick bowl mouth to erect the antenna high. Even if you don't buy bamboo separately, you will place the antenna as high as possible.
This leads to a situation where if someone's house is a two-story building, in order to place the antenna high enough, the antenna will be installed on the second floor. The TV is generally in the living room on the first floor, and if there is a problem and the antenna needs to be adjusted, it will be extremely 'fun'.
There was a person standing on the second floor, constantly turning the antenna carefully, and constantly asking, "Okay, okay?"
There was a person standing at the door of the living room on the first floor, staring at the TV all the time, shouting from time to time: "Okay, it's over, turn back a little, a little more, alas, it's ...... again."
If you want to watch TV, you have to turn up the sound of the TV loud enough, go upstairs and turn the antenna, and listen to the sound. As soon as the sound is clear, run down immediately - it is tragic that there will be such a situation at this time, the sound is clear, but the TV screen is a snowflake. So sometimes I have to turn the antenna and go downstairs to look at the screen......
In short, it's all tears!
At this time, everyone watches the most central station six sets of movie channels, but many times, this station is not what you want to watch, it depends on luck.
In a place like Sanchahe, there are not many people who can rely on an antenna standing in the courtyard to receive six sets of programs from the central station.
And a better opportunity to watch foreign blockbuster movies is every Sunday afternoon, after the Zhengda variety show, the Zhengda Theater - everyone who has seen it knows that this is a tragedy, because if you go to school, you start from the fifth grade of primary school and continue to high school, and there is evening self-study on Sunday night.
You can feel that you have waited a week to see a movie that finally makes you want to watch it. And then you can only see two-thirds or three-quarters, when you are about to go to the climax of the finale, do you have to go to school for evening self-study?
It wasn't until there was a DVD player that people could sit in their rooms and watch TV. Don't worry about the show being interrupted at any time, don't worry about a snowflake on the TV screen in the next second, don't worry about seeing the critical moment, the sound becomes a stinging sound, annoying people to death. Not to mention seeing half of it, you have to go to school......
But the DVD player is already considered a luxury, and in small towns that are generally not very developed, whoever has one is like an artifact. In fact, some people just buy a DVD player and open a video hall directly.
In this case, when talking about genuine CDs, a CD costs more than a dozen yuan and dozens of dollars, which is simply a fantasy.
So piracy is really popular these days, not only in film and television, but also in other foreign programs, many people only learn about it through these pirated CDs - such as some foreigner lectures, interviews and the like, these CDs are not nothing.
Of course, there must be bad ones. Many people who sell pirated CDs rely on discs that are not visible. Most of the films that are banned from 'island countries' and 'Western' are indeed very bad.
For example, someone suddenly saw a regular movie from an island country one day, and suddenly heard a surprise sentence: "Ah...... It turns out that in the films of the island country, there are also actors in clothes!"
But in any case, this is indeed the time when pirated discs are most popular.
Yan Fei and Xu Xiaoyan said in the morning to go to see the runway, but the race has not started yet, the road is still closed, and they simply went directly to the technology market.
Before they entered the technology market, they met at least three people who came to them and asked if they wanted CDs. Of course, because there are girls, so people introduce serious films that are popular nowadays, and those who are not serious are all asked by those who have expectations for their eyes and have intentions at a glance......
Declined these little bosses who were enthusiastic about introducing the film, and the two finally entered the technology market.
When it comes to the technology market, most people who enter it for the first time will be a little disappointed. Completely different from the imagined high-tech market, there is no opulence, no sci-fi scenes that make people feel dazzled at first glance.
It's more like a wet market.
I casually found a counter with a computer configuration and asked, and the boss immediately introduced it skillfully: "What do you think of this configuration?" AT power supply, ASUS motherboard, CPU that supports Intel and AMD, looking at the socket, in addition to supporting the commonly used EDO memory, it also supports the most advanced SDR memory. You see, this is the ability to plug in two 8M memory sticks to ensure that the speed of your use is slippery......"
"Do you watch movies a lot? This gives you a 4 megabyte discrete graphics card. Optical drives and floppy drives, 4G hard disks ......"
"You can ask casually, I am definitely the cheapest in the whole market, with less than 10,000 yuan......"
In fact, if you look at the things of this year in a few years, it is really cold. In the mouths of these bosses, the eight-megabyte memory module is an artifact, the four-megabyte graphics card is a bull, and the 4G hard disk is worth talking about - in fact, there are better things, but they are all new products that have just come out, so they are the top high-tech. The price is too expensive, and there is no need for ordinary people to introduce it.
Who wouldn't have thought that in another 30 years, 8G memory modules will be rotten on the street, as for the 8M memory modules that were enshrined as artifacts in the past, what kind of thing is that? It's 2,048 times worse!
It's still a desktop, and if it's a laptop, it's even more indisputable. At the beginning of the year, the price of a Pentium 133MHz/35GB hard disk NEC notebook was still 46,000 yuan!
In the end, Yan Fei and Xu Xiaoyan spent most of the day, and it wasn't until the shopkeepers and owners started to eat lunch that the two of them decided where to buy computers.
Fifteen-inch monitor, sixteen megabytes of memory plugged in - it doesn't matter if Boss Yan doesn't understand, he learns quickly. After asking a lot of questions, he synthesized the things explained by the boss himself, and he knew what was good now.
In fact, things in the tech market really can't be hidden, everything here is open. As long as you have the heart, you can learn more knowledge here for two days than in half a year in a computer major in college.
It didn't take two years for the enrollment to start expanding, and major schools began to swarm computer majors. Many schools are majoring, but the hardware facilities can't keep up, students graduate and go out, and students who graduate from bachelor's degree are not as good as the network management of a small Internet café in terms of professional technology. What's more, I can't even figure out the difference between a hard drive and an optical drive - this situation is real, not unusual.
At this time, students who rely on the technology market have the most advantage, they have nothing to learn more, they can connect with the actual theory in school, and they will definitely be much better than nerds after learning.
Originally, Yan Fei wanted to hold the monitor with one hand and the host with the other, but Xu Xiaoyan didn't let him. I don't know how many catties the monitor is, Yan Fei doesn't care, but the girl is worried that he will break it.
So it became Boss Yan walking in front of him holding the monitor, and Xu Xiaoyan was holding the chassis behind him carefully-I had to be careful, because of Boss Yan's generosity, the computer cost fifteen thousand yuan.
Fifteen thousand dollars!
Yan Fei's father and mother are both employees, and the one-year salary is not enough to buy such a computer.
The two of them went out with their things, and along the way, they didn't know how many people they attracted to hang out here, all kinds of envy and jealousy.
When she got home, the girl was reluctant to put down the chassis, and she was distressed when she saw Yan Feimao unpacking her hands and feet. After the final installation, the monitor began to light up as the girl pressed the switch herself, and involuntarily, the girl's hands clenched.
It wasn't until she saw the pattern of the plague dying that she finally put her mind at ease and waited quietly for the computer to start up completely.
After the start, both of them were a little dumbfounded, looking at the screen and not knowing what to do.
Yan Fei is still a strong learner, and when the girl was shocked by the price, he had secretly learned a lot of things. At this time, he held the mouse with confidence, and smiled: "The name of this mouse is really good, Shuangfeiyan, hehe......"
The most advanced and popular mouse is the double swallow, which has a small round ball in it, which is claimed to be 2D. None of these two people understand, anyway, they just know that it's good - the expensive and popular ones must be good.
I clicked on the mouse for a long time, and the system that was just installed was nothing to play except for playing cards.
Fortunately, the boss also gave something, and a box of pirated CDs was given, all of which were movies.
Find out the most popular big talk of Journey to the West, according to the procedure of stealing the teacher, after clicking on it, the two of them waited intently for the letters to pass, until they saw the dream-like picture, and immediately began to look at it intently.
New computers, new movies, but it's really exciting.
After watching it for a long time, Yan Fei reminded the girl: "Can't you sit on a chair and watch?"
Before the movie was finished, the sound of two dogs barking outside was heard.
Yan Fei was also fascinated by it, and when he heard the dog barking to remind him, he heard a knock on the door outside and ran out to take a look. Sure enough, Chen He was standing outside the door with a group of girls.
Seeing Yan Fei, a girl with a quick mouth smiled and said, "Boss Yan, have you bought the computer back?"
"Bought it back!"
"Okay, let's go, let's go, look at the computer and ......" As Yan Fei answered, a group of girls ran towards the courtyard with a smile.
Chen He followed at the end, and waited for Yan Fei to close the door before he said with a smile: "I originally wanted to come early in the morning to help you buy a computer together, but it just so happened that I couldn't leave the house because of something at home in the morning." How much did it cost? What kind of configuration?"
Yan Fei had already memorized it, and as soon as he talked about his computer configuration, Chen He smiled: "Almost, you have asked a lot of homes, right? This price is not expensive, and now this thing is very expensive, but you will know it when you use it, it is definitely worth the money......
It's really worth the money, at least now seeing Xu Xiaoyan, who is surrounded by a group of girls and constantly flattering and flattering, Yan Fei feels that it is worth the money!
