Chapter 45 Buying a Computer
"Buzz~~~"
As soon as Zhong Huan turned on his second-hand classic machine, the power fan made a roar, as if it was louder than the movement of the washing machine. Zhong Huan endured this noise, the key is that the computer starts too slowly, and it can't start at all in two minutes. Zhong Huan was bored while waiting, so he simply picked up the traffic rules he received at the driving school in the morning and looked at them.
After turning a few pages, Zhong Huan looked up and found that the monitor was still black. Looking at the main chassis again, the power light went out. Zhong Huan is also drunk, this is an automatic shutdown as soon as it is turned on!
Zhong Huan had encountered this situation before, so he poked the switch again. This time, it's a good thing, even the noise of the fan is gone, and the computer doesn't respond at all.
In these years, repairing computers is a necessary skill for boys, and Zhong Huan knows a little bit about it. The power supply is not responding, this is certainly not a software problem, and it is estimated that it is useless to reinstall the system. So Zhong Huan found a screwdriver and opened the main chassis.
As soon as the chassis was opened, Zhong Huan smelled the smell of burnt plastic, and secretly said something bad in his heart. After a closer inspection, sure enough, the motherboard was burned. It seems that there was too much dust in the old chassis and it caused a short circuit.
Zhong Huan's old computer has long been out of keeping with the mainstream configuration on the market. The motherboard is burning, and there is nowhere to buy it if you want to change it. The price of repairing it is not much cheaper than buying a new motherboard, and it is not cost-effective at all.
After weighing it carefully, Zhong Huan announced with great regret that his old master machine had come to an end and completed its historical mission. Immediately afterwards, Zhong Huan began to think about what kind of new computer to buy. The old doesn't go, the new doesn't come. What's more, Zhong Huan has long planned to buy a laptop, and the money in his pocket is enough.
Early the next morning, Zhong Huan and Peng Lei went to the driving school to take classes, although the learning of traffic regulations mainly depends on the students themselves to read books, but the driving school will still focus on training for a few days of legal classes. After class in the morning, Zhong Huan first went to deliver fruits, and then went to the computer market in the west of the city. At the moment, he is free to schedule the time of day between deliveries. This period of time can't be too short, lest others be suspicious, Zhong Huan must find something to do, extend this time, and give people the illusion that he is going to pull goods from a distance.
The western district of Donghai City is mainly a commercial area, and the city's largest computer market, clothing market, and small commodity market are all in this area. When Zhong Huan arrived at the computer market, he found that the entire building was selling computers, all kinds of desktops, laptops, computer accessories, and related electronic products such as digital cameras.
Zhong Huan usually doesn't use the computer to play games, it's not that he doesn't like to play, it's just that the old machine is not powerful, and he can't play any good games. Therefore, for Zhong Huan, the biggest role of the computer is to check information on the Internet and read news, novels and the like. There is enough laptops to meet these needs, and there is no need for desktops, so Zhong Huan went directly upstairs to the floor of the notebook monopoly.
"This classmate, do you save a computer?"
"Do you want a notebook?"
"Do you want a digital camera?"
……
Zhong Huan went upstairs all the way, and the shopping guide in front of the booth greeted him all the way. However, Zhong Huan had a clear goal, that is, to buy a brand's notebook, so he shook his head and waved his hand all the way. When he walked to the section selling branded laptops, there were not so many shopping guides.
Different from the computer counters of individual merchants, the branded computer area is a spacious and bright glass house, and the whole room is filled with various models of laptops of the same brand. Although there are many computer brands, there are only a few that Zhong Huan is familiar with. For example, Lenovo, which is good at service, apples with beautiful appearance, Shenzhou with low prices, and so on.
If it was before, Zhong Huan didn't have to think about it, and went straight to Shenzhou. But now the first thing he ruled out was Shenzhou, and walked towards Apple's store.
Zhong Huan is not the kind of person who is very high-profile and flamboyant, but even ordinary people have vanity. Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night, and money is not spent in vain. In the past, Zhong Huan had no money, and he couldn't afford to buy good ones. Now that I have money, of course, I choose what I like, not cheap.
The interior of this Apple computer store is simple and atmospheric, just like the style of the computers inside. When Zhong Huan walked into the store, he saw that the display case was full of silver-white notebooks and black-and-white tablets, with prices ranging from thousands of yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.
Zhong Huan is not much of a computer enthusiast. He chose the Apple brand, firstly, because of its leading technology and guaranteed quality, secondly, because of its tall appearance, and thirdly, because the brand is very well-known. Although it is an imported product, the price is more expensive than a domestic computer with the same configuration, but it is not outrageous, and it is still within the acceptable range of ordinary people.
After comparing a circle, Zhong Huan fell in love with a notebook in his early 10,000s, and the configuration is the mainstream configuration on the market at present, which is not high-end but sufficient.
"Hello, are there any current promotions for this computer?" Zhong Huan asked a female clerk not far away.
A female clerk in professional attire is selling a laptop that costs 16,000 to a middle-aged woman wearing heavy makeup. When she heard Zhong Huan talking next to her, she glanced at Zhong Huan and the computer he pointed to, and said simply: "No!" ”
"Then can I get a discount if I buy two units?" Zhong Huan thought that Peng Lei definitely didn't have a notebook, so he wanted to help him bring one.
"You're funny, young man. Do you buy a computer or buy groceries? Buy more and get a discount. Buy two and go back and eat them? ”
The middle-aged woman who had been chatting with the female clerk for a long time also looked at Zhong Huan at this moment. Zhong Huan was wearing a T-shirt and shorts for giving fruit, and Lei Hongxia felt that he was not on the same level as himself when he saw it. Two people stood in the same store to buy the same brand, and Lei Hongxia felt that she was dropping. Fortunately, Zhong Huanxuan's computer was not as expensive as her own, which made her feel better. But then Zhong Huan said that she would buy two, which was more than the price of one of her computers, which made Lei Hongxia very unhappy, so she couldn't help but say sarcastic.
"You don't have to worry about how I eat it. I'm just asking if there's a deal. ”
Zhong Huan is very annoying to this kind of person, he thinks how noble he is when he has a little money, but in fact, he is a nouveau riche at first glance. But Zhong Huan doesn't need to be as knowledgeable as her.
The female clerk didn't look like a rich man when she saw Zhong Huan, and she didn't want to deal with him very much, but at this time, she saw that Zhong Huan and the "noble lady" in front of her were not on the right path, so she naturally turned to Lei Hongxia and wanted to please her as much as possible to make a deal. After all, they also have a bonus for selling computers.
"We have a flat price here, and you don't get a discount on how much you buy. And our brand doesn't have to rely on discount promotions to attract customers. If you think it's expensive, you can take a look at the domestic computer opposite, two can't reach 10,000 yuan. ”
"What is your attitude? I want to buy another computer, why do I ask you? ”
Zhong Huan heard that the female clerk was chasing people, and knew that her mind was not here, which made him a little angry. For that middle-aged woman, Zhong Huan didn't say much, because she was also a guest, and there was nothing she could do if her quality was poor. However, Zhong Huan felt that the female clerk should have her own professionalism and not favor the guests.
"This gentleman, what I said is the truth, I don't know which sentence has a problem? If you are dissatisfied with me personally, I can help you change the service staff. Xiao Li, come over and help this gentleman choose a computer. ”
The female clerk is also an old fritter, and speaking naturally won't let Zhong Huan catch any tricks. She saw that Zhong Huan was a little anxious, and she was afraid that Zhong Huan would complain and disrupt the business she was talking about, so she simply called another male clerk to deal with Zhong Huan.
"Hello sir! How can I help you? ”
Xiao Li is a young new employee, without the old clerk's means of grabbing customers, and he is embarrassed to grab with the old clerk, and his performance has always been at the bottom. So he attaches great importance to every customer and has a very good attitude.
"I want to ask if you get a commission for selling computers?" Zhong Huan asked suddenly, his voice was quite loud, just to deliberately let the female clerk next to him hear it.
"Huh?" Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, and then hesitated and said, "We have a performance bonus, but it has nothing to do with the price of the computer." We are not like those private merchants, the more expensive they sell, the higher the commission, and the price is uniform. So please rest assured to buy, it will not pit you. ”
"Oh, okay. With this kind of computer, I want two, can I swipe the card? ”
Zhong Huan pointed with his hand, and clicked on the computer that the female clerk was recommending to Lei Hongxia. In fact, computers are all worth a penny, and there is a reason why they are expensive. 16,000 is better than 10,000. Zhong Huan changed to an expensive one, and it was not a loss. He just wanted to teach the female clerk how to behave.
"Yes, please come with me here to pay the bill."
Xiao Li said as he glanced at the senior who called him over suspiciously. He couldn't understand why such a generous and happy customer predecessor would give it to him, could it be that the sun came out in the west today?
The female clerk's face turned green at the moment. She chatted with Lei Hongxia for half an hour, just to promote this relatively high-end notebook. Unexpectedly, before she made a deal here, Xiao Li sold two units, and the customer just launched it himself. Now her bowels are blue.
Lei Hongxia's face is also not good-looking. In fact, she is not very rich, but she loves vanity and spends all her money on dressing up. The 16,000 computer is also quite expensive in her opinion, but it is only because the female clerk has a sweet mouth and says that this computer can show her noble temperament, which makes her a little tempted.
Zhong Huan simply bought two computers, and not only slapped the female clerk in the face, but also slapped Lei Hongxia in the face. She didn't pay for half an hour, Zhong Huan paid for two in a few words, and whoever has money and who doesn't have the money will make a judgment. The key is that Lei Hongxia really doesn't have the money to buy three to compete with Zhong Huan, and this face can't be recovered.
"Hmph~ nouveau riche! Bumpkin. ”
Lei Hongxia spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, worried that Zhong Huan would sarcastically mock her again after paying the money, so she snorted coldly, muttered a few words, and then turned around and left. Now the female clerk was even more dumbfounded, and now she understood what it meant to be a chicken and a egg.
