Chapter 20: Little Black

Zhou Shuo worked for a few days in a high school, and then he almost explored the business. The job of a principal is troublesome and troublesome, easy and easy, it all depends on your prestige in this school. With his current popularity, it must be good to say something.

It's almost the weekend in the blink of an eye, and there are only a few days left before the summer vacation after the final exams end in mid-July. Although the students of the computer interest group of the second high school were dragged down by the tense final review, they still called him from time to time to ask him about whether he could continue to learn computer knowledge during the holidays.

On this day, Zhou Shuo came to school early, and mysteriously carried a black rucksack on his shoulder. When Liu Guifang also came to work, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Sister Liu, you're coming!" He stood at the door of the school building and shouted impatiently.

Liu Guifang walked over with her newly bought high heels, and when she saw the backpack on his back, she couldn't help but ask, "Headmaster, are you going out?" ”

Liu Guifang was a little worried, and recently there was a rumor that came out of Lu Dao from somewhere, and he actually said that Principal Zhou was more suitable to be a businessman than a teacher. The reason why I have developed a high position is to make more money in the future. Questioning whether the person who did not even have a teaching certificate sat in the position of principal in the future, the main business of a high post in the future was to open a factory and do business, rather than teaching.

Others don't know what to do, isn't Liu Guifang still unclear? She thought indignantly, with the business situation before the high position, even if she invited an academician from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, she would be helpless. These rumors, like those of retired teachers who were previously encouraged to be reimbursed for invoices, have a strange conspiracy behind them. Who is doing these small actions underneath, she also has her own guess in her heart.

Zhou Shuo nodded and said, "I plan to open a computer training class in Yizhigao, you and I will go and buy a batch of computers." ”

Liu Guifang agreed ignorantly: "Oh, what to buy this - a computer, how much does it cost?" I'll get it. ”

She didn't have this concept in her head at all, and it was not surprising that she was in her thirties and almost forty years old, and she was not familiar with the new things in society. Anyway, the principal said that if you want to buy it, you can buy it, and you will not be wrong if you follow the leader in everything.

Zhou Shuo smiled, patted the backpack behind him and said, "The money is here, I paid it myself, and I will lend it to the school when the time comes." ”

"So?" Liu Guifang hesitated for a moment and said, "Always ask the principal to advance money to the school, isn't that okay?" How much does this computer cost? Recently, there has been a lot of wealth in the school's account, so if I want to say that I should go to the public account......"

Zhou Shuo waved his hand indifferently, and walked out of the house first, saying as he walked: "Okay, the school is not rich now, and I can't take out so much money!" ”

Looking at his back as he walked farther and farther, Liu Guifang pouted a little disapprovingly, obviously not thinking that it was just a computer, and there was nothing difficult about the current income level with a high position.

The two of them took a car and came directly to the electrical street in Xiucheng. In 1994, the computer market did not have the capacity of later generations, and it was able to support one or even several shopping malls the size of computer cities. The major computer dealers are still messing with household appliances, and only Dell and IBM have a good face in the huge embroidery city, and other famous brands do not even have independent dealers.

After getting out of the car, Zhou Shuo raised his eyes. Xiucheng's electrical street is located in a small street on the verge of the suburbs, which used to sell electronic components or electronic products such as audio and telephone. Later, after a long period of reform and opening up, because these owners had more or less professional knowledge, they slowly expanded their business scope. The so-called snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths, and commodities such as TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, and rice cookers have come in through a variety of legal and illegal channels, and the surrounding businesses have gradually increased.

With the concentration of businesses and the cheap rent, this originally deserted small street has prospered little by little. By 1994, the house was still a dilapidated bungalow with grass growing on the roof, but the owners inside were all in the pocket. On the doors of each house, signs, neon lights, and hanging banners complement each other, decorating this street wonderfully.

As soon as he got out of the car, Zhou Shuo rushed into IBM's dealership with great interest. IBM's dealership is two bungalows that are open up, and the inside is quite spacious. In a room of two or three hundred square meters, the floor is covered with clean and generous blue tiles, the walls are painted with white paint, the roof is hung with fashionable ceiling lamps, and computers are placed on the counter, emitting the muffled whine of the power fan.

Seeing the arrival of a guest, the salesperson hurriedly came over and greeted with a smile: "Hello sir, what kind of computer do you want to see?" ”

He looked around, but before he could reply to the salesman, his eyes suddenly lit up! Running two steps and running forward. In that way, it's like meeting lovers who can only meet in the ninth generation of cultivation!

“ThinkPad755CDV！” He shouted in surprise.

ThinkPad is a brand of laptops from IBM Corporation, and this 755CDV model notebook that they launched in 1994 has a very special place. It usually looks no different from a regular laptop, but once the office needs to use a slide projector for presentation, it can immediately remove the top cover of the screen and turn it into a slide projector, and directly turn the content of the screen into a slideshow through the notebook.

Such a computer is simply tailor-made for teaching and office, how can it not make Zhou Shuo, who has been admired for a long time, excited? In the previous life, Lenovo acquired IBM's computer business and inherited the ThinkPad brand, what is the level, there is too much saliva about this matter, not to say. However, the ThinkPad, nicknamed Xiao Hei during the IBM period, is recognized as well-known for its design, technology, and workmanship! This one-of-a-kind classic model, he has long wanted to find one to collect, but unfortunately he can't buy it at all after 20 years!

"How much does this cost?" His voice trembled a little as he asked.

The salesman looked at the label next to the computer, unconsciously raised his eyebrows and said: "The price of this ThinkPad 755CDV notebook is 82,000 yuan." ”

When Liu Guifang heard the salesman's offer, the boss with his mouth open, couldn't have imagined that such a boxy black gadget was worth eighty-two thousand! With her salary, she may not be able to afford it if she doesn't eat or drink for ten years!

saw Zhou Shuo wave his big hand, and shouted without a stumble: "I bought it!" Hurry up and pack me a new one! ”

The salesman said with a sad face: "Sir, I'm sorry, this machine is the only one in our store, and there is no new machine." ”

Zhou Shuo didn't care when he heard this, he just urged: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's it, put it away for me." ”

The salesperson sighed in his heart, he didn't expect such a big deal to be done so easily, and it seems that his sales this month must be fine.

Liu Guifang watched Zhou Shuo take out eight bundles of 100 yuan bills from his backpack, and counted the balance of 2,000 yuan in a hurry. It turned out that although Zhilu Dao, the new principal, was very rich, he didn't have any special concept when he rode a dilapidated college bicycle.

It's not that she hasn't seen money, and she hasn't seen how much money she has done as an accountant, but when so much money actually belongs to one person, it feels different. Now that the small 100,000 yuan is piled up in front of her like a mountain, she suddenly realized that the gap between people can be so big - that is her ten-year salary, and she actually bought such a plaything?

Zhou Shuo happily accepted the packaged laptop from the salesperson's hand, and turned around again. It's a pity that the ThinkPad doesn't have a desktop to sell, so I had to walk out of the mess stupidly.

Liu Guifang was depressed and carried the invoices issued by IBM dealers and followed him out. They made a strange turn and went back to the Dell computer store.

Dell's store is not small, and the house is more than 100 square meters. But it is also necessary to compare with whom. For Zhou Shuo, who just came out of the IBM store, it was indeed a little shabby. What's more, Dell's main business is still PC, at that time in 1994, although the manufacturer has tried to make the appearance design very beautiful, but for him it is inevitable that the evaluation is stupid.

As soon as Zhou Shuo entered the door, he saw the salesmen standing in a row in the middle of the hall, dressed in neat work clothes and looking at him with a charming smile.

The gaze of seven or eight beauties almost pushed him out, and before he could come back to his senses, the salesmen bent down and bowed in unison, and shouted: "Embroidery City Dell flagship store welcomes Mr. Jason to visit and guide!" ”

Zhou Shuo was stunned when he was shouted, and thought in his heart: "Hey? Who is this Jason? ”

Just as he was stunned, two people came out from behind him. It was a fat Chinese who led a white foreign man into the door with a smile.

The fat Chinese said in half-baked English: "Mr. Jason, please come in, welcome to the flagship store of Xiucheng Dell." ”

The foreigner named Jason said in fluent Chinese: "Oh, Zhao, let's use Chinese, I don't understand your English very well......"

Fatty Zhao smiled awkwardly, and said in Chinese: "I didn't expect Mr. Jason's Chinese to speak so well, it's really admirable, then let's communicate in Chinese." ”

After saying that, he turned his head and shouted at the salesmen, "Hey, don't stand, hurry up and bring Mr. Jason a chair and pour a cup of tea!" ”

When the girls heard this, they hurriedly scattered, moving chairs and pouring tea. Jason stretched out his hand to stop Zhao Fatzi, and said solemnly: "No, Zhao, you better greet this guest first, every customer in your store is more important than me." ”

Zhao Fatzi hurriedly put on an admiring smile, gave a thumbs up and said: "Mr. Jason, you are right, but you are also our most honored guest, please sit down and rest for a while, I will accompany you after greeting the customer." ”

Jason nodded in satisfaction and walked towards the store.

Zhao Fatzi turned around, looked Zhou Shuo up and down, and saw the ThinkPad755CDV in his hand at first glance, and hurriedly changed into a professional smiling face to greet him, and said: "This customer is embarrassed, there is something in the store that has made you wait for a long time." What do you want to buy? Let me introduce you? ”

Zhou Shuo looked at the computers on the counter and said, "I want to buy a batch of computers, which of Dell's computers is the Pentium CPU that Intel released last year?" I need about 20 units, so you have to pay a cheaper price. ”

Zhao Fatzi's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he didn't expect it to be a big deal, so he hurriedly shook his spirits and recommended to him: "Don't worry about the price, you will definitely not suffer a loss!" For Pentium CPUs, I recommend this Dimanson XPSP60 model desktop to you. Its CPU is an Intel Pentium processor, clocked at 60MHz, 8M memory, 340M hard disk, PCI graphics card and 15-inch display. The original price is 18,000 yuan, I'll give you an affordable price, what do you think of 16,000? ”

"This computer!" Zhou Shuo touched its dumbfounded monitor with some nostalgia, and said casually: "It's worth eight thousand yuan!" ”
