Chapter 011 [Buying a Mobile Phone (Part I)]
"Dad, you see that our family is not short of money now, are you considering buying a mobile phone, and it is convenient to contact us if there is anything. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
In this era, mobile phones are not very popular, and the price of brand mobile phones in specialty stores is expensive, and ordinary working families are reluctant to buy them.
"Buying a phone?"
Qin Xuedong's eyes lit up, the old BB machine on his body had been used for several years, he wanted to change a mobile phone a long time ago, but at that time, the school salary could not be paid, and the poor family could hardly open the pot and owed debts, and he also gave up the idea of buying a mobile phone.
However, since Qin Fan came back, the Qin family's economic situation has improved a lot, not only has they paid off their foreign debts, but they also have more than 100,000 yuan in the bank, and they can be regarded as a well-off family.
"I think it's a good thing, the mobile phone is much easier to use than your broken BB machine, and you can contact home in time if anything happens." Jiang Yulin said approvingly.
Qin Xuedong nodded, "That's okay, Dad will give you money after eating." Don't be scarce for money, let's buy the best and most expensive mobile phone if we want to buy. ”
Like all parents in the world, Qin Xuedong and Jiang Yulin want to give their children the best.
"That's a must."
"By the way, Xiaofan, when you buy a mobile phone, can you borrow it from your father for two days. The fat man in the school bought a broken mobile phone a few days ago, and he showed it in front of me every day, and this time I want to be angry with him. ”
Qin Fan said with some amusement, "Don't be so troublesome, I'm going to buy three mobile phones, one for my father and one for my mother." ”
"Three! That's a lot of money. Qin Xuedong hurriedly said, "Dad, you don't need it, you can buy one for your mother." ”
"That's not good, you have to buy three, and you can't miss one."
Qin Xuedong was still hesitating, Jiang Yulin opened his mouth and said, "Okay, you can listen to your son's filial piety, and our family is not short of money." ”
After getting Qin Xuedong's permission, Qin Fan took 10,000 yuan out of his bank card, went straight to the most lively shopping mall in Jiaocheng, and randomly found a mobile phone store and plunged in.
The business of this mobile phone store is quite good, and Qin Fan saw that many customers were listening to the introduction of the salesperson to choose mobile phones.
However, the price of general brand mobile phones is a little expensive, and the price of the latest model is even more expensive, which is already a luxury for ordinary working families, and only a few wealthy people who do business can afford it.
Therefore, the latest brand mobile phones in the counter are seen by many people, and few people really buy them with money.
In the era that Qin Fan is in now, there are far fewer mobile phone brands than in later generations, which is dazzling. The mobile phone market is still controlled by two giants, Motorola and Nokia.
Based on the performance considerations of the two brands of mobile phones, Qin Fan finally chose Nokia mobile phones.
For Nokia phones, what he remembers most is the phone's drop resistance and hard shell.
Qin Fan once heard a true story, a little brother who lived in the border area between the rebels and the Nationalist Army in Syria, took his Nokia mobile phone to shoot the firefight scene that night. The war zone was riddled with bullets and stray bullets, and this brave guy approached the location of the battle and tried to capture the firefight with his Nokia phone.
Just as he held up his phone to take pictures, a bullet flew towards his head. Only a crisp cracking sound of plastic was heard...... The bullet got stuck in the body of the Nokia phone.
However, to Qin Fan's surprise, he looked at the counter for a long time, and there was no salesperson to introduce him to the mobile phone.
In this era, the sense of service of the salesmen is generally not strong, and it is estimated that the salespeople in the store see that Qin Fan is young and dressed ordinarily, and he is not a child of a rich family, thinking that he is just a student who came to join in the fun and take a look, so no one pays attention to him.
After waiting for a long time, there was no salesperson to take care of him, Qin Fan's qi cultivation kung fu couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and he stopped an older fat salesman and said, "Auntie, I want to see Nokia's latest mobile phone." ”
When the salesperson heard that someone was looking at Nokia's latest phone, a smile immediately spread across his face.
But when she saw a hairy boy standing in front of the counter, her face suddenly turned cold, and she said impatiently, "This mobile phone is very expensive, one costs 2999 yuan, don't look at it if you don't buy it, you can't afford to pay for it." ”
Qin Xuedong teaches at the school, and his monthly salary is only more than 1,000 yuan, and the price of such a latest mobile phone is close to 3000, which is equivalent to his salary for three months.
The average working-class family must not be able to afford it, let alone a small hairy child.
Seeing the salesman who turned his face faster than a book, Qin Fan was also a little irritated by her bad attitude, and sneered in his heart.
"Honey, I want that Motorola's latest mobile phone, and my little sister has one, it's beautiful."
At this time, a girl dressed fashionably with big wavy curly hair walked in with a young man in a suit and leather shoes.
"Okay, you can choose which phone you want, and I'll buy it for you."
The young man with his hair parted waved his hand proudly, but his gaze inadvertently fell on the curly-haired girl's towering breasts, and he secretly swallowed a mouthful of spit.
A young man with curly-haired hair walked to the counter, and a saleswoman who looked like a student girl came over and said timidly, "Sir, what do you need?" ”
The young man glanced at the salesman who looked like a student girl, and his eyes lit up.
This girl only wears some light makeup on her face, but her facial features are very delicate and beautiful, her bright eyes are like blue waves, and her temperament is very pure and lovely, which is diametrically opposed to the charming curly-haired girl.
"What are you looking at?"
The curly-haired girl saw her boyfriend's eyes widen, and she suddenly became angry and twisted the man in the suit fiercely.
"Ouch, it hurts me." The man in the suit screamed in pain, and quickly put away the expression of the pig brother, his face was very embarrassed.
"I want to buy a mobile phone, little sister, do you have any good mobile phone recommendations, money is not a problem."
The man in the suit deliberately pretended to be arrogant in front of the saleswoman, and the curly-haired girl rolled her eyes.
However, at this moment, the fat salesman who was talking to Qin Fan just now came over with a smile on his face, and said to the girl in a commanding tone, "Xiao Song, let me greet you here, you go and greet the gentleman over there." ”
Song Zixin nodded obediently and walked towards Qin Fan.
"Sir, what model of mobile phone do you need?" Song Zixin lowered her head and said softly.
Seeing Song Zixin's timid appearance, Qin Fan couldn't help but be a little funny, this girl is too afraid of being born, no wonder she will be bullied by that fat salesperson.
"Hey, you're ...... Senior Qin Fan? ”
Song Zixin glanced at Qin Fan by chance, and suddenly let out an unexpected exclamation.
Qin Fan was stunned for a moment, looked at Song Zixin seriously, and asked curiously, "Do you know me?" ”
"I am also Jiaocheng No. 1 Middle School, and now I am in Class 12 of the third year of high school, and my name is Song Zixin." Song Zixin laughed lightly, revealing two lovely pear vortices on her face.
Qin Fan in high school was a popular figure in the school, the absolute main force of the literary club, and often went out to participate in essay competitions on behalf of the school. In the school, there are many juniors and juniors who know Qin Fan.
"Song Zixin?"
Qin Fan seemed to have a little impression of this name, but too much time had passed, and many things were not quite remembered.
"I remember, Song Xuemei seems to be the school flower of our Jiaocheng No. 1 Middle School." Qin Fan said with a smile, in his memory, the name Song Zixin had been mentioned by several classmates at the class reunion.
Boys are particularly focused on the school flower when they were students, although Song Zixin is not the same as Qin Fan, but her popularity in school is also quite high, and Qin Fan has more or less heard her name.
At this time, Qin Fan suddenly remembered that a few years after graduating in his previous life, he had heard the news of Song Zixin at the class reunion, but Song Zixin's situation after graduating from high school was quite miserable.
As far as he knows, Song Zixin not only has a poor family, but his father also has a serious patriarchal mentality. At that time, Song Zixin was admitted to Yenching University with a high score of more than ten points beyond the admission line. As a result, his father gave all the tuition fees she had worked so hard to save to her younger brother, causing Song Zixin to be admitted to university but had no money to go to college, so she had no choice but to give up the opportunity to go to college and go to work.
Later, Song Zixin worked hard outside for a few years and founded a career with her own efforts. But at this moment, the nightmare suddenly came, and her father forced Song Zixin to go back to her hometown to marry a 46-year-old man, just to buy a house for his son and get married.
Song Zixin was forced to have no choice, and finally chose to commit suicide.
In his previous life, Qin Fan was also very shocked when he heard about Song Zixin's tragic experience from his classmates, but unfortunately the tragedy had already been caused at that time, and he couldn't help this poor schoolgirl.
And now, all these tragedies have not happened, and Song Zixin is still that innocent and kind girl.
Since Qin Fan met Song Zixin in this life, he will try his best not to let the tragedy that happened to Song Zixin repeat.
Song Zixin saw Qin Fan staring at herself, her pretty face suddenly blushed, and she said glutinously, "Which mobile phone does the senior want to buy?" ”
Qin Fan came back to his senses and smiled a little awkwardly, "I want to see Nokia's latest mobile phone." ”
Song Zixin did not hesitate, took out a brand-new Nokia 7200 mobile phone from the glass cabinet, and seriously introduced it to Qin Fan.
"This is Nokia's latest phone, it has a lot more features than the old one, and it is Nokia's first flip phone."
In this era, flip phones are still very trendy, and few people on the street have ever seen flip phones.
This Nokia 7200 has a stylish shape, good features, and a relatively large memory capacity, which is very good except for the slightly expensive price.
"This Xiao Song is really ignorant, how can he take out the new mobile phone casually and show it to others, and don't see if this kid can buy it." The fat salesman glanced at Song Zixin and said in a weird way.
