The glasses city is on the side of Fu'an Road leading to the South Railway Station, and there are two rows of shops standing along the street, and if you look closely, these shops are all dealing in the same kind of product "glasses". Huangshi parked the car and walked on this "glasses street", you can see slogans such as "glasses wholesale" and "affordable glasses" everywhere, and there are more than 30 glasses stores on this street of less than 200 meters.

When I walked into a store, the female clerks immediately came up and saw that the counter was full of all kinds of frames and lenses, and the prices were very cheap. The female clerk squeaked and told Huangshi that the price of a pair of glasses here ranged from more than 30 yuan to more than 200 yuan, and the best sales were about 50 or 60 yuan.

In the other optical store next door, it is full of all kinds of professional equipment. The salesman said that their optometry equipment is very advanced, costing more than 40,000 yuan, and the glasses in the city store are often hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the most expensive in their store is more than 300 yuan.

Originally, these optical stores were mainly wholesale, and also engaged in retail, most of the goods were wholesaled to small and medium-sized counties, and some were sold to students, office workers, enterprises and institutions, etc., and some well-known optical stores in the urban area would also purchase goods from here.

Walking further along Fu'an Road, there are more than 10 optical stores near Banbu Village, compared with the vicinity of Longshan, the decoration of the stores here is relatively simple, and the types of frames and lenses are significantly less, and some advertisements say that reading glasses can be bought for only 5 yuan.

……

Lin Feng runs an optical store near Banbu Village, which is a small shop opened by his own family, he turned out to be an engineering man, but it is difficult to find a good job, unless he is willing to go to the factory, the problem is how he is willing to do such a hard work, so he will learn accounting by himself, but no unit will hire an accountant with no practical experience. So he discussed with his family with his own heart, and simply entered the family optical store by himself and became a small boss.

Among the many stores along the street, the façade of Lin Feng's house is not conspicuous, but when Huangshi walked to the end, he found that this "Limin Glasses" small store did not have too many bells and whistles and advertisements, so in line with the simple and probably cheap truth, he slowly pushed the door and walked in.

At this time, the owner of the small shop greeted him, Huang Shi saw that he was about 30 years old, and he looked older than himself, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and a loyal face, and he was not as enthusiastic as the owners of other shops, but his voice was a little low, "This boss, what kind of glasses do you need, do you want me to introduce you?"

Huang Shi shook his head, "No need, I'll take a look for myself first", after speaking, he looked around, and found that this optical store not only has a smaller façade, but the space in the store has also been divided in half, the layout of the store is similar to the treasure island he has been to before, the walls of the store are surrounded by U-shaped glass cabinets, and there is a back-shaped glass cabinet in the center of the store, which should be put some high-quality glasses.

"Are there reading glasses, cheaper, and then stronger", Huang Shi looked at the boss and stood quietly on the side, unlike those saleswomen in other shops who stuck up, glued up, and made dizziness, and felt more comfortable.

"Yes, you see these are these", at this time, Lin Feng walked to the glass cabinet in the right corner, and pointed to the glasses in the small partition, "Our reading glasses here have 7 power levels", "Boss, you can come and see the price yourself, we have a lot of brands here."

"Oh", Huangshi walked over and looked, some brands such as Sunset Red cost from 39. 9 yuan to 499 yuan, this may be more high-end, some brands such as plum blossom brand only 5 yuan to 200 yuan, look at the past can not see the material or workmanship of any big difference.

"Boss, when you buy glasses, you still try to buy accurate and stable optical performance, you see this brand has a complete range of styles and reliable quality, and guests say that it is durable, has a good reputation, and the price is actually higher than those cheaper", Lin Feng saw that Huangshi did not speak, he was still watching, and felt that he could still persuade him harder.

"Boss, don't look at these glasses, they are only 5 or 10 yuan, they seem to be cheap", "In fact, they are all industrial glass products".

"Oh", Huang Shi, pull the small round stool next to him and sit down, Lin Feng knew that this business might have a show, he turned around and went to the water dispenser in the left corner to get two glasses of water and brought them over.

"Boss, as I said just now, first of all, lenses that are too cheap may be industrial glass, not optical lenses. Because the optical quality of industrial glass is not reliably guaranteed, such as insufficient transparency and easy deformation of vision, the temporary emergency problem is not big, and long-term wearing will aggravate the eye fatigue of the elderly, and even cause physiological reactions such as dizziness and nausea."

"Secondly, don't look at this reading glasses, in fact, there is a special point, the diopter of the old man's eyes may be different, and the distance between the two eyes, that is, the interpupillary distance, should be accurately measured."

"Thirdly, I suggest that if you are getting glasses for the first time, it is best to go to a regular hospital for medical optometry. After all, in those professional eye hospitals, not only can the accuracy of optometry be guaranteed, but they can also carry out primary eye care at the same time as medical optometry. For example, early geriatric eye diseases such as cataract, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and even diabetes and retinopathy without obvious symptoms can be detected and treated as soon as possible through the process of medical optometry."

"It's rare to see a boss like you who pushes customers out," Huang Shi said with a smile as he picked up the small paper cup, took a sip of water, and smiled.

"I'm doing business, pay attention to integrity, don't look at our shop, our store's business is good, our family was the first to open this shop in this area", Lin Feng himself also pulled Zhang Dengzi to sit down, to be honest, looking at the store is a boring job, if you can't find other hopeful jobs, the ghost is just here to consume, today I finally saw a guest who can talk often.

"As early as 63 years when my father worked in the glasses factory on this side of the city gate, the factory closed down in the 80s of the last century, and then my parents opened this optical store by themselves, which, now the store has been open for more than 30 years, you see there are some thanks from our old customers." Sure enough, following Lin Feng's fingers, Huang Shi saw the pennant hanging on that wall.
