Chapter 261: Something Calls Me!
"Hahahaha, Jiang is right, I have to be careful of you, you have to learn by yourself...... Hahahaha, this is the first time I've heard of this reason. *Okay, you don't need to bring this, I have it in my apartment, you can find me to get it another day, just in Jianguomen, I'll leave you a pager number, you contact me in advance, by the way, will you use a pager?" Ralph also understood what Hong Tao meant, cracked his big mouth and smiled happily, and then squeezed his eyes at Hong Tao, saying that he was willing to help with this, and also gave Hong Tao his pager number.
"Beeper?" Hong Tao originally had that kind of dirty smile on his face, but when he heard Ralph's last words, he suddenly froze and opened his mouth to spit out an English word.
"Yes, this is very convenient, you should also go and buy one, so that we can find each other in the future, you see, this is mine, the number is on it, will you use it?" Ralph nodded to confirm what Hong Tao said, then took out a little brown guy from his suit pocket and handed it to Hong Tao, and by the way, he also took out a business card with his full name on it, and the last one was a number: 126ooo3965.
"I'll use it, Ralph, did you buy this thing from the capital? Can you tell me that I bought it there?" Hong Tao deliberately rubbed his eyes, and after confirming that the number he was looking at was correct, he looked at Ralph with expectation.
"Behind the long-distance telephone building, called...... Sorry, I forgot the name of the company, it's a very small room. Ralph pondered for a long time, but he didn't remember the name of the company, so he could only shrug his shoulders.
"You are my lucky star...... Angel. You are an angel! Come, let's hug one, and I'll go to you another day to get it. Then please eat roast duck, you wait for Jiang yourself, I still have something to do, bye!" Hong Tao was very excited, muttering a sentence in his mouth, and gave Ralph a hug, as if it was not enough to express his gratitude.
"I think he's a madman. Weirdo!" Ralph confused Hong Tao, just a few videotapes, how did he become an angel himself. And he rubbed his saliva in his face.
The reason why Hong Tao is so excited is because he has a good thing that can change his current life, which is the thing that Ralph just pulled out, beeper. It is also called a pager, pager or BB machine.
People who live in the ** decade. You should be familiar with this thing, when this thing was first popular in China, it was almost one per person, what analog, digital, Hanxian, there are many types. At that time, mobile phones were still very tall things, and ordinary people couldn't afford to use them, and they didn't work well, they were really mobile phones. You go to a lot of places and there is no signal, you have to move and fight.
And fast, convenient, and relatively inexpensive pagers solve the need for people to connect with each other. As a result, it dominated the Chinese communication market for a long time, and it was not until the mid-to-late 90s that it was gradually replaced by digital mobile phones.
In the heyday of pagers, everyone would leave their pager numbers to each other after meeting to facilitate future contact, and "something ca11 me" became the most popular phrase at that time. Every time it is the festival and the New Year, it is also fashionable to let the pager help you convey greetings to relatives and friends, just like the current group text messages.
And at that time, working at the pager was a very enviable thing, when everyone's salary was generally only one or two hundred, a pager lady could get a salary of five or six hundred per month, at that time, the pager, hotel room service and flight attendant were all good jobs that many young girls yearn for.
Of course, with the popularization of this communication technology, the contact between people has gradually become simple, convenient, indifferent, we used to meet only a few times a year, but we cherish it, and then you can find you anytime and anywhere, but not so affectionate.
And with the popularity of these things, people's life rhythm is getting faster and faster, when there is no pager, going to work is going to work, and it is difficult to find people after work. Now it's different, I can also call you when you get off work, so that you have nowhere to hide, and when everyone has a mobile phone, the rhythm is faster, you can also say that I didn't receive it, or can't find the call back, but the mobile phone unless you turn it off, or catch you in minutes.
Hong Tao didn't know exactly when the pager came into China, and he had been worrying about how to make others contact him anytime and anywhere. For example, if there is something in the store, then he can only know when he returns to the store after school, which is very inconvenient, and Yan zhòng affects his remote command. Although he has paid a lot of money to install the phone in the new store, he can't run around the street with the phone behind his back, and he still can't achieve the goal of letting employees find him anytime and anywhere.
But now this problem is basically solved, even if there is no Hanxian function, you can also communicate simply through the guò code, and you can leave a message to the pager or something. When he saw the number 126, he knew that this thing could also be used in the capital, because he had also used this pager number in his previous life, and the other one was 127, which were the two main pagers in the capital that year.
couldn't bear it for a minute, after Hong Tao said goodbye to Ralph, he immediately found a taxi, and then returned to the second floor, took 20,000 yuan from his secret compartment, and drove straight to the long-talk building. Not to mention, Hong Tao's luck is quite good, the small room behind the building that Ralph said doesn't rest on Sundays.
"Wireless Communication Bureau 126 artificial paging station, you actually have today!" Hong Tao parked the car, stood at the door, looked at the two poor little bungalows, and sighed, it is estimated that in a few years, they should move to a large office building.
"Shhh...... Motorcycle donkey pulls, you deserve to go out of business, you are too ruthless to do this! Oh, little Japan, you are more ruthless than your father!" There were only two people in the room, a middle-aged woman sitting behind the only two counters and reading a newspaper with melon seeds, and a man with glasses in his forties sitting on a desk reading a book.
After Hong Tao walked in, the two of them didn't look up, they were still doing their own work, Hong Tao didn't bother others, he walked to the front of the counter first, and looked at the two lonely pagers placed inside. The dark brown one is a brand pulled by a motorcycle donkey, with a price tag of 138o yuan; the black one is Panasonic, slightly exquisite, that is, slightly, the price is 15oo yuan, Rao is Hong Tao is psychologically prepared, and there is no shortage of money in his pocket, after seeing this price, it is also a little toothy, too Nima is expensive!
"One for the little uncle, one for the eldest aunt, one for Han Yan, one for Sister Da Ling, and the second master...... , he just forget it, he won't use it if he buys it, save me some money! Han Xue has to have one...... My sister has it, and my sister doesn't give it inappropriate...... "Hong Tao snapped his fingers, counted left and right, at least six, this is just the money for buying the machine, and there must be network access fees and service fees.
"Comrade, are the network access fees and service fees the same for these two models?" Although Hong Tao looks down on these two screens above the fuselage, and there is only a small strip of analog models, but the shape is forced, and it is not possible to buy it, and some are better than not to use them.
The woman at the ......counter didn't say anything at all, didn't look up, and reached out to the side.
"The network access fee is 24o, and the service fee is 3oo a year......" Hong Tao is used to receiving this kind of treatment, since he was a child, he went to the store to buy things, and most of the things he was subjected to were all white eyes.
"Comrade, can you pick a number? Do you still add money?" Hong Tao continued to ask, he planned to let the woman raise her head, knock one less melon seed, and look at the newspaper less to die.
"No money, young man, are you going to buy one?" The woman at the counter was really rock-solid, and in the face of Hong Tao's question, she didn't even move this time, as if she hadn't heard it. The man with glasses next to him didn't have such a big concentration, although he felt that Hong Tao, who was the same age as a middle school student, should buy a machine qì It was unlikely, but he still put down the book in his hand and walked over.
"Come to three of the same, I still have to pick six numbers......" Hong Tao took out a banknote from the bag containing the clothes and put it on the counter, he understood that no one believed him just by saying it, so he would just come to the vulgar one.
......The woman at the counter finally raised her head, and then scattered half of the melon seeds in her hand, but she was really determined, since she didn't come over just now, now she is rushing over to drop the price, anyway, it doesn't matter if she sells more or less, she glared at Hong Tao fiercely, and continued to look down at her newspaper.
“…… Do you really want to buy six?" The man with glasses was obviously not as calm as the woman, he kept trying to reach out and touch the bundle of banknotes if it was real, but he was not embarrassed.
"Well, Liutai, I have to ask you to show me the number book, I can choose a few numbers. "Hong Tao didn't go to play poor at this time, it's boring to play here.
"Oh, okay, you wait, I'll go get you the number book...... Lao Zhang, you go and help get four new machines. The man with glasses believed it, and he ran back to his desk and rummaged through the drawers, then shouted at the woman.
"......" The woman stood up impatiently, then gave Hong Tao a roll of the eyes, and went out of the back door of the room with a twist.
"Alas...... In another ten years, you'd have already been beaten several times. Hong Tao received several blank eyes for a while, and he didn't care about it in his heart, but he just sighed that the comrades who ate the big pot of rice didn't have a few good days to live, and the more people like the middle-aged woman just now, who ate the big pot of rice sweetly, the more tragic the ending became.
Not only is the service attitude not good, the procedures are also extremely cumbersome, Hong Tao's six pagers tossed for an hour and a half, before it was officially opened and can be used, fortunately, Hong Tao had an eye before coming, and took two bundles of money, otherwise 10,000 yuan is really not enough, even the purchase of money into the network fee and annual fee plus a piece, 12,000 yuan is gone.
