Chapter 346 rewards twenty dollars

James said patiently: "It's good to deliberately dry them for a few days, but after all, it's just deliberate, and it's only for a few days, and these big media haven't ignored them for a long time." Why don't we contact them first and be the pioneers? Even if their computers are garbage, we can write articles that make them laugh and make our readers happy in advance, right? Besides, we're here anyway, so why not give it a try? ”

Philip retorted, "How do you know we're wasting our time?" We're not ...... In ......," he said quickly, in a different tone, "maybe you're right, we should probably have thought about what this mysterious Chinese company is doing." I can't really guess if the computer case they designed was green or blue. I know that there are only two kinds of clothing for the Chinese, one is the green of the military uniform, and the other is the blue of the blue sky, I don't know how their eyes can stand it. Do you know where their booth is? Maybe it's a good news point. ”

There is no way, survival is much more important than face, and Philip, who has no confidence, has to convince himself to interview Chinese companies that no one else wants to interview.

Seeing Philip's sudden eagerness, James reminded, "Head, don't expect too much. If these computers were really designed by the Chinese, it would definitely be a big news sensation around the world, and I don't think we were so lucky. I'm sure the computer was designed by us Americans, and the reason why they pulled the Chinese together was just using them as an attractive gimmick. The Chinese have absolutely no real computer. ”

Philip blushed and said, "You say I don't know?" As I said at the beginning, they use this to attract everyone's attention. I didn't want to ...... it, but anyway, it would be good for our publication to expose their scams and expand the influence of our publication. ”

The two searched for a while, and then arrived at the computer booth marked "Spark" in the deepest part of the exhibition hall, and the layout was very simple, that is, five computers were placed on several sides that looked like tables but did not look like tables, and then a few bulletin boards, or billboards, were erected next to them.

On the billboard in the middle, the logo of a Chinese company is drawn, and two golden Chinese characters are written in the middle of the flowing Xiangyun: "Starlight"

The upper part of the font is slightly red, and the two characters look like two hot charcoal blocks that are burning.

Below the charcoal block is a row of Chinese characters "Computer Research Institute of Yunnan University", and the English name "Xihuan Electronics Company" is placed side by side with it below.

Unlike other booths, the staff also took advantage of the convenience of leaning against the wall and not blocking the road, neatly arranging more than 30 chairs, as well as a few coffee tables with a few steaming pots of coffee and a few plates of fruit.

Eight young people, who were clearly Westerners, were busy sorting out computers, materials, and bits and pieces, while others were sitting in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard and moving the mouse.

Unlike the staff at other booths who debugged computers, the staff here were far less strict and not so serious□ so it can be said that they were a bit of a fool, these young people talked and laughed, shouted and shouted, and some laughed and scolded others for their slow movements......

Philip and James couldn't figure out what they were doing: you came in so late, you're messing around, you're not going to waste your precious first day?

At this time, a female employee lifted a small sign and placed it a little farther away.

Philip went to the sign that said "Temporary rest area, free coffee and fruit".

It's just that the logo is printed on the paper of this sign, two burning blocks of hot coal. Let the people who come over know that this rest area is not arranged by the organizers of the exhibition hall, but by the West Ring Electronics Company.

Philip and James were surprised that the West Ring Electronics Company was not doing its job: you were here to exhibit computers, not to provide a place for customers to rest.

However, they still agree with the approach of Xihuan Electronics Company: since it cannot compete with large companies in technology, and the after-sales service is not comparable to others, then this strange trick is to let customers remember them through guò humanized service, and impress customers who pass through here with family affection.

To be honest, after walking around the huge exhibition hall for a while, after a few booths, my feet were really a little tired, and my mouth was a little dry, and Philip and James really had the idea of sitting here to rest, drink coffee and eat fruit.

However, the two media people still doubt how much effect this behavior will bring, especially how beneficial it will be to expand the "Spark" computers, and it is estimated that 99 percent of customers may put on tweezers when they are resting, and may be able to pretend to praise these five computers that are significantly smaller in size, but when they finish their coffee and eat the fruit, they will definitely fly away, and they will soon forget about these computers.

Perhaps when they leave, these people who have just wiped their mouths will show a sarcastic sneer.

At this point, James tugged at Philip and motioned for him another sign.

Following James's surprised gaze, Philip went to another sign that read: "You are welcome to use and play with the computers here." If you leave after five minutes of using and playing in the water, we will give you a consolation reward of twenty dollars. If you are willing to continue using it, you can extend it for ten minutes, after which we will be charged $5 per minute, and up to a maximum of 30 minutes! ”

Philip and James looked at each other: What is the situation? Why play with the computer instead of manipulating it? Why is it available to everyone? Doesn't it necessary to have professional training to operate a computer? Twenty dollars of comfort before leaving before fifteen minutes of play? Isn't this giving money? Is there such a way to send money? Other companies send some worthless gadgets at most, how can they send money directly, and there are so many of them?

James was moved: "Can't this earn back the taxi fare, and can it also solve the cost of fast food at noon?" Hehe, are they stupid, or am I lucky today? ”

Without waiting for Philip's command and permission, James had already rushed forward and said to a young female staff member, "Is what you say on the sign true?" ”

The female staff member rushed to James, and a trace of impatience flashed in her eyes, but then she became very enthusiastic again, and said, "This gentleman, of course this is true. In this exhibition hall, is there any company that dares to tell lies and make dishonest promises? ......, as long as you come to play, you can verify that our promises are true or false, and as long as you leave fifteen minutes ago, you can get the comfort of twenty dollars in cash. But ......"

James, as a journalist, certainly not for the twenty dollars, or not just for the twenty dollars. He hurriedly asked, "Why did you make this promise, you have full confidence in your computer, and you are confident that you can attract people to put it down?" By the way, is your computer now debugged? If I'm not mistaken, I remember that your computers were trucked in just before the opening. ”

The female staff member smiled and said, "Our computer doesn't need to be debugged, as long as it is powered on." Because there is already a power jack here, it only takes three minutes to open the case and plug in the power cord." Unbelief? You just try. ”

Her face was not very pretty, but her smile was innocent, and the freckles on her face jumped happily, like a recent high school graduate.

"Don't debug? It only takes three minutes? James blurted out, his face full of surprise. To be recruited to this "North American Journal of Computers", he is naturally no stranger to computers, although he is not a computer expert, but the basic still knows, he really has never heard of a computer that is not to be debugged, what can be done in three minutes, and some machines can not be turned on.

Before the freckled girl could reply, Philip, who had already walked over, interrupted the conversation and asked, "If I heard me right, I seem to have heard you say the word 'but' to this gentleman just now, can you explain the meaning of this word?" And I also noticed that when this gentleman walked up to you, a trace of impatience flashed in your eyes, why? ”

The freckled girl blushed, especially when another male staff member approached, and her face was even more embarrassed.

Both Philip and James looked at her playfully, listening to her answer.

The freckled girl hesitated for a moment, and said a little embarrassed: "I ...... because ...... Because it's my turn to play with the computer soon, you don't know that I've been waiting for a long time. If you come over and play, and I have to help you according to my duty, then I probably won't have the opportunity to play today. So ......, I'm sorry, I ......, it's because the games here are so much fun. I've only played the seventh level of my 'Sokoban game', and they all score a lot higher than me......"

Most of the people who can become reporters are human spirits, and in the face of such obvious loopholes, how can two reporters believe it: the purpose of your coming here is mainly to promote the computer, where did the company boss let you come here to play? How can you, as an employee hired by a company, put your job aside for fun?

Young James saw the girl blushing and thought it was a lie. Coupled with her innocent and cute appearance, he couldn't help laughing, and he asked playfully, "Is it really as fun as you say?" ”
