Chapter 268: The Bell of Myeongdong
Coming to Myeongdong and standing at the corner of the street, Pani was startled by the crowd at the entrance of Myeongdong, is there only one place in Seoul that can go to Myeongdong on Christmas Eve?
The brightly lit Myeongdong, the constantly flashing street signs, the crowds of people, the noisy streets, and the countless gorgeous Christmas trees all make up Myeongdong on Christmas Eve. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Holding Zhang Yang's arm tightly so as not to be squeezed away by the surging crowd, Zhang Yang and Pani walked through the streets of Myeongdong, if it wasn't for the lights out at midnight for 30 seconds, maybe Pani would have offered to leave.
Those few seconds two hours later were the spiritual pillars that supported Pani's struggle to navigate the crowd.
Walking into the jewelry store next to it, walking into the cosmetics store next to it, walking into the clothing store next to it, Pani can only breathe a little relief at this time, after all, compared to the crowded panting on the street outside, this store is naturally much better.
Looking at the crystal necklace in the display case, Zhang Yang was very moved.
Yun'er is going to participate in the acting awards on the 31st, she wants to wear evening dresses, and she wants to wear jewelry, Zhang Yang feels that this necklace may be very compatible if it is worn by Yun'er, the diamond is not big, but it is shining enough, with Yun'er's qualifications, there will be no gossip if she wears it. However, Yun'er is usually just dressed as a girl next door, and even if she is given this necklace, she may not have a few opportunities to wear it. So Zhang Yang is still hesitating.
Seeing Zhang Yang standing in front of the display cabinet with his chest folded and pondering, Pani, who was holding the store's brochure next to him and reading it boringly, looked at Zhang Yang with some surprise: "OPPA doesn't want to buy this necklace for Yun'er." β
"This idea again, but I'm still hesitating now, after all, she can't wear it a few times if she buys it for Yun'er, and Yun'er won't necessarily accept such a gift." Zhang Yang nodded.
"Of course Yun'er won't accept it." Pani nodded as a matter of course, and said to Zhang Yang: "OPPA really doesn't understand the minds of girls, how can something like a diamond be accepted casually?" β
"It's not a diamond ring, what's not to accept?" Zhang Yang wondered.
"Oh, Yun'er definitely won't accept it anyway." Pani didn't bother to explain to Zhang Yang the complex and profound girlish heart in this, just waved his hand perfunctory.
"Oh." Zhang Yang nodded, since Pani said so, there is no way. When attending the acting awards, Yuna's clothes will naturally be borrowed by makeup artists from brands that have a good relationship with S.M, and there is no need to worry about Yuna's dressing at all.
"What should I choose for Yuna's Christmas present?" Zhang Yang is a little distressed, preparing gifts for girls is really a headache for him.
"OPPA can start with Yuna's personality." Pani smiled, "Think about what Yun'er likes to do, wouldn't it be better to do what she likes?" β
"Yun'a...... Eat...... Play ......" rubbed his hair, Zhang Yang was a little helpless. It's definitely not okay to eat, do you want to stuff a pocket of quick-frozen dumplings into Yuna's Christmas stockings? Or maybe stuffed into a box of ramen?
If you play...... Hasn't Yuna bought a computer yet?
Are recent touchscreen phones also very popular? There's no keyboard anymore.,The whole phone is a screen.,And the camera and the built-in games in the phone are also very novel and interesting.,I think Yuna must like it very much.γ
"Phones and computers?" Tell Pani what he thinks, and Pani is also rarely lost in thought. If you think about it this way, it is indeed a good idea to send a mobile phone and a computer, if you have a mobile phone, Yun'er can use it now, and if you use a computer, Yun'er's TV series will be filmed soon, and the computer will not be idle for a few days when you buy it.
"That's a great idea, indeed." Pani nodded, tilting his head to look at Zhang Yang: "But is it too late to buy it now?" Christmas is less than two hours away, are there still mobile phone stores and computer stores open? β
"If it's Myeongdong, there should be a mobile phone store and a computer store that are open." Zhang Yang nodded: "The cosmetics stores are not closed, and the mobile phone stores should still be open normally." β
"OPPA, how can a mobile phone store compare with a cosmetics store?" I'm afraid you will be a little crying and laughing when you hear this, and explain: "Even if the cosmetics store has no turnover, there will be many young couples who come in to have a look and try it out. But the mobile phone store is different, if it is not the mobile phone problem, who will have nothing to do to visit the mobile phone store? β
"Maybe." Zhang Yang nodded: "But if you don't see it with your own eyes, how can you be sure?" β
"Okay." Parney nodded.
Christmas in Myeongdong is indeed a good thing for merchants, looking at the brightly lit and crowded Apple mobile phone store in the distance, Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, even a breakfast shop will choose to stay open until late at night today." β
Walking into the mobile phone store and walking through the crowd, Zhang Yang's eyes immediately caught the largest advertisement on the wall.
"iPhone3G, ultra-fast 3G network, accurate A-GPS positioning, ultra-long standby, black and white."
The top is the advertising slogan, and the bottom is a few enlarged pictures, there is only one home button on the simple large screen, and there are no superfluous elements, which makes Zhang Yang feel very good.
"Hello sir, is there anything I can do for you?" The clerk walked over and said very respectfully.
"It's Christmas, I want to change my family phone and want to know about it." Zhang Yang nodded, pointed to the iphone3g on the advertisement, and gestured.
βiphone3gοΌβ When the clerk looked at the billboard that Zhang Yang was referring to, a burst of joy flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly asked Zhang Yang to confirm.
"Nai, iphone3g." Zhang Yang nodded.
The joy in the clerk's eyes even glittered.
The price of the iPhone 3G is not high, $199 for the 8G version and $299 for the 16G version, which is very cheap. But if you want to really start using this phone, then the money to be paid is not just $299 as simple, the user needs to sign an agreement with the store, the content of this agreement is the same as the American version, the American version needs to sign a two-year contract with AT&T for $43 per month, and the actual cost has reached more than $1,000. The Korean version has to sign a contract with KTF, and the monthly cost is as high as 50,000 won, which is even more expensive than the American version.
Under such ultra-high fees, the Korean version of the mobile phone even launched a zero down payment and free mobile phone collection activity, in order to promote the sales of the iPhone 3G. The iPhone is the world's top touchscreen phone, and it is also the brand of the American daddy country, which has indeed made the iPhone a trend in Seoul. The salary level of Koreans is indeed very high, and no one will take the contract fee of tens of thousands of won per month seriously, as long as they have face in their hands, they will care about tens of thousands of won per month. So even if it's almost 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, with the trend of Christmas Eve and Christmas, the traffic in the iPhone Myeongdong store has been high.
And selling such an iphone3g, the clerk can also get a lot of commissions.
The clerk enthusiastically led Zhang Yang and Pani to the counter, and then took out two prototypes, one black and one white, and placed them on the counter in front of Zhang Yang, and introduced the mobile phone to Zhang Yang and Pani very skillfully. What 200W pixel high-definition imaging, high-quality photos, how fast the 3G network speed, how long the standby time, how excellent the operation feel.
"Sir, did you use an old-fashioned keyphone phone?" The waiter asked.
"Nai, LG's flip phone." Zhang Yang nodded.
"LG's phone? It must have been a very beautiful young lady. The waiter nodded in compliment, not realizing how incompatible what he had just said.
"Huh." Zhang Yang nodded, undeniable.
"If that's the case, then this iPhone3G phone will definitely make your loved ones fall in love." The clerk picked up another mobile phone as he spoke, and then introduced the above functions to Zhang Yang one by one, specifically how powerful this function is, how different it is, and it is completely different from those glamorous and cheap goods outside.
Zhang Yang was a little moved by what the clerk said, I have to say, iphone3g, this touch screen mobile phone is indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but, after all, the touch screen mobile phone is a new thing, compared with the current mobile phone, this touch screen mobile phone is simply an emerging industry, Zhang Yang is not sure whether it is a good thing to contact the touch screen mobile phone so early.
In 1885, when the automobile had just been invented, as a new industry, there were not as many traffic rules as there are now when driving it, and something that did not run as fast as a horse-drawn carriage, so why bother to limit it. This iphone3g is the same, in today's popular button mobile phone, is it really necessary to contact it too early?
However, after thinking about it, Zhang Yang finally decided to buy this mobile phone. Not to mention anything else, the shape of this mobile phone is indeed a touch of flamboyant *** simple and generous.
"Three." Zhang Yang nodded, stretched out three fingers and said to the clerk: "Please go through the formalities for me!" β
"Nai. Please wait. The clerk nodded, didn't put away the prototype on the table, turned around and walked to the desk in the back, picked up a thick phone book and returned to Zhang Yang, and said with a smile: "Sir, now please choose your mobile phone number." β
"Huh?" Zhang Yang looked up at the waiter: "Is this mobile phone also integrated with the number?" β
"No, it's not." The clerk nodded: "This is an American mobile phone, so it is said to have a SIM card." A SIM card corresponds to a number, and if you want to change your mobile phone number during the contract period, you can go to an Apple phone store to replace it. β
"Okay." Zhang Yang nodded.
Looking at the numbers in the number bib, Zhang Yang's eyes swept over the bibs casually, but he paused at the back of the first page.
This is a set of serial numbers, 11-digit numbers, the beginning is KTF's 016, the middle is 316, and the last 5 digits are the leopard number that looks very pleasing to the eye, from 0 to 9, 10 numbers are complete.
Providence, isn't it?
Pointing to these 10 numbers, Zhang Yang raised his head and said to the clerk: "Get me 7 more mobile phones, I want these 10 numbers." β
The clerk looked at Zhang Yang's relaxed face, and then looked at the 10 leopard numbers pointed by Zhang Yang's finger, and explained a little cautiously: "The service fee for these numbers is 10w won per month, and it does not include contract fees." β
"It doesn't matter, 10." Zhang Yang shrugged and pushed the phone book to the clerk.
The clerk was stunned by Zhang Yang's relaxed movements, and asked cautiously, "Mr. is Japanese?" β
"......" Zhang Yang didn't speak, just glanced at him with sharp eyes, and the clerk immediately didn't dare to say anything more, picked up the number bib and ran away.
The contract fee of the mobile phone is bound to Zhang Yang's bank card, and the service fee of the number is directly deducted from the balance of the mobile phone card.
As an expensive Leopard mobile phone card, the packaging is different from other mobile phone cards, and the 10 mobile phone cards are sandwiched in a ticket holder like a cruise ship ticket. Such a scene surprised Zhang Yang, after all, he was used to seeing the domestic casualness, and the mobile phone card was actually transformed into such a noble treatment in South Korea, which made Zhang Yang a little unable to react.
Walking with Zhang Yang in the bustling crowd of Myeongdong, Pani looked at the bulging backpack behind Zhang Yang, and said a little helplessly: "OPPA actually doesn't need to change one for each of us." β
"It's okay if you don't like it in your bag." Zhang Yang shook his head and smiled: "Although what the clerk said can't hide the fact that the number of users of this touchscreen mobile phone is too small, I always feel that this kind of mobile phone will not be so simple." Perhaps its rise may be in the near future. β
"OPPA always thinks so far ahead." Pani shook his head: "The shares are too, so is Xiaoxian's self-knot, even buying a mobile phone." Oppa, aren't you tired of living like this? β
"Hehe, get used to it." Zhang Yang shook his head and smiled: "Okay, let's continue to go to the computer store, since the mobile phone store is not closed, then the computer store will definitely not." β
The computer bought for Yun'er, then there is no doubt that the function naturally revolves around reading web pages and playing games, IBM's notebook is too business, so Zhang Yang chose Samsung's computer.
Carrying Samsung's computer bag, Zhang Yang and Pani walked and stopped all the way, and finally squeezed in front of the Christmas tree in the crowd.
This is the Christmas tree in Myeongdong Hudong 9, which stands under the stone tower in the center of the square, and is more than five meters tall in total, which is obviously not comparable to the Christmas tree in the living room of Girls' Generation. The white light strips on the Christmas tree are surrounded by airtight wind, and the surrounding couples are also brightly photographed.
"Do you want to make a wish here?" Zhang Yang looked at Pani suspiciously.
"Of course." Pani nodded as a matter of course, and his serious face hid Pani's little caution tightly.
"This is the largest Christmas tree in Myeongdong, oppa, look at the crowd around this Christmas tree, aren't they all coming for this Christmas tree?" Parney explained in a serious way.
Zhang Yang shook his head, forgive him for his clumsiness, he really couldn't see any difference between the crowd in front of this Christmas tree and the rest of Myeongdong, wasn't it all an airtight wall of people? But if you really look closely, compared to other places in Myeongdong, the density of tourists here is really large, and standing in the innermost, Zhang Yang can't even feel the whistling wind.
Or rather, the wind stopped.
Zhang Yang raised his head, and by the light on the Christmas tree, Zhang Yang clearly saw the goose feather snowflakes falling from the sky.
No wonder the sky has been looking like a ghost since the morning, and it turns out that it is waiting here.
"It's snowing, oppa." Yang Zi, who was learning to be flamboyant, also raised his head, and suddenly saw the snowflakes swaying in the sky.
Seeing the snowflakes, Pani is very happy, there are snowflakes, there is a Christmas tree, and there is a beloved man next to him, this is the real Christmas.
"Boom." The clock struck midnight, Christmas Eve, Christmas, at this moment completed the alternation.
Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh, it snowed, the bell rang, this Christmas really matched his impression of Christmas, if there was a cat named Tom and a mouse named Jerry, then this Christmas would be perfect.
Just when Zhang Yang made a mistake, suddenly his eyes lit up, including the big Christmas tree in front of him, all the lights on the streets of Myeongdong disappeared in an instant, and the huge Myeongdong shopping street instantly became pitch black.
Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that South Korea is really unreliable, and places like Myeongdong can't guarantee power supply.
But just when Zhang Yang was muttering in his heart, he suddenly felt that his neck was wrapped around a pair of hands, Zhang Yang couldn't help lowering his head, and then he felt that his lips seemed to touch something soft.
Soft and sweet.
The open pupils dilated instantly.
"Boom." The second bell rang in Zhang Yang's ears, and it also caused ripples in Zhang Yang's heart. (To be continued.) )
