While I was still asleep, I was suddenly awakened by a sharp ringing of the bell. Sleepy-eyed, I picked up my phone on the table.

As soon as I pressed the answer button, Cui Li's loud voice came from the phone: "Cheng Yin, it's not good, it's not good!" ”

I've been hearing similar words lately, whether it's the previous dwarf or the current Cui Li, it feels like the end of the world is imminent.

"Cui Li, what's going on again? Maybe you're going to find Mo Weiwei to watch a horror movie again? I said half-jokingly. I know very well that the big things in Cui Li's mouth are mostly just some inconsequential little things.

"Cheng Yin, you are wrong this time, this matter is not only a big deal for me, but also a great good thing for you."

"A great thing for me?"

It occurred to me that there would never be anything very good except that you now told me who Professor "Z" was.

"Cui Li, just say it directly, what do you want me to help with?"

"Help? I said Cheng Yin, you misunderstood, I didn't come to ask you for help, but to tell you a great good thing. Haven't you watched TV commercials lately? The latest virtual TV developed by Abbfu has been sold in major shopping malls in the city. Cui Li said happily.

"I said Cui Li, the good sales of this virtual TV have something to do with you, is it worth your pleasure? We are just the research team of the company, not their official employees, and no matter how good this virtual TV sells, it will not give you and me a penny. I said unhurriedly.

"Cheng Yin, this is your mistake, although we are not official employees of the company, we are also a member of the research team. If Afo wins this business war, won't we also have a lot of face? Maybe one of us will apply for a free school meal card. Cui Li began to brag.

I didn't have a way to show him my contempt for him with my phone, and it seemed that a school meal card would send him away.

"Okay, I know what you said, I'm also very happy about the hot sales of Aerfu, that's all, goodbye."

The great thing Cui Li said is nothing more than that, in my opinion. Just as I was about to turn off the phone, Cui Li shouted loudly: "Cheng Yin, Cheng Yin, don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet." If I told you that the virtual TV was sold to you at a discount, would you think it would be a great thing? ”

Cui Li's words really stunned me for a moment, and I picked up my phone again: "One fold?!" You're not kidding me, are you? When that virtual TV was just on sale, the sales activities carried out were only 50% off, not to mention that this virtual TV is selling so hot now, even if the major shopping malls don't even have the reserved places, how can it be sold to me at a discount? ”

I don't believe what Cui Li said at all, the price of such a scarce commodity can only rise, how can it not rise but fall?

"Cheng Yin, it's true, I didn't lie to you! You forgot that we are members of the research team of the company, and of course we can get a better price than others, so today Zhang Xinran gave me two discount sales coupons for virtual TV, and repeatedly told me to give the other one to you. Cui Li's words were full of joy.

"Zhang Xinran gave you a one-off sales coupon? And such a good thing? "I really didn't expect the research team to be treated like this. But anyway, since he gave us this coupon, there is no need to use it in vain: "In that case, then let's go to the shopping street today and buy a virtual TV."

To be honest, this virtual TV is indeed at the forefront of today's technology, and it is too cost-effective to buy it at a discount from its price. It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and before Zhang Xinran has changed his mind and takes back the coupon, it is true to use it as soon as possible.

"Cheng Yin, you and I want to go together, I called to ask you to go with me to use this ticket." Cui Li said.

In this way, Cui Li and I met at two o'clock this afternoon at the entrance of the dessert shop on the commercial street. Putting down my phone, I turned on the TV screen and the ad for the virtual TV appeared:

"So, what are you waiting for? The latest virtual screen technology developed by Adefu has been perfectly adapted to your TV, so you don't need to buy a bulky TV to put on your TV cabinet from now on. All you need is this small remote control in my hand with a single touch, and a virtual ultra-clear TV can be presented in front of you. Our company's virtual TV is not just a simple projector, but a truly virtual space screen that can project images into the air to present a perfect visual effect. So that you can feel the cinema-level visual shock without leaving home.

Ladies and gentlemen, you may wonder if the screen of this TV is perfect, but the TV is not only the screen, but also the speaker. At this point, I had to take out my small remote control again, which could not only control the TV, but also a powerful sound device. You don't have to look so small, but it doesn't sound any worse than the surround sound in a theater, and it's even better. And if you buy it now, you will enjoy the same discount as the first launch, and all virtual TVs will be sold at 50% off. Yes, you heard it right, the company adheres to the idea that science and technology change life, science and technology benefit mankind, and is committed to allowing thousands of families to enjoy the convenience brought by such high technology, so it is brought to you at such a low price, I hope you must not miss this opportunity. Let your living room also have such an electrical product, change your life, bring infinite joy to your family, start now! ”

I watched the exaggerated introduction of the host on TV, but there is no doubt that virtual TV is indeed a cross-era electrical commodity, and its emergence is bound to raise human life to another level. Even I can't wait to get my hands on one right away and get a feel for the magic of this technology.

April 16, 2022 at 13:46 pm

I came to the door of the dessert shop more than ten minutes early, anxiously waiting for Cui Li's arrival. What is important to me at this time is not Cui Li, but the one-fold coupon in his hand.

After a few minutes, I finally saw Cui Li walking briskly towards me on the other side of the shopping street.

"Cheng Yin, why are you here early? Sure enough, this one-off coupon has a great impact on you. Cui Li said with a smile.

"Don't laugh, did you bring the coupon?"

If Cui Li told me that he forgot at this time, I would definitely kick him back.

"Of course, how could this be forgotten?" Cui Li said as he took out two coupons from his pocket and handed one of them to me.

I looked at the coupon in my hand, and it did have the unique anti-counterfeiting mark of ABF.

"Let's go, we won't be able to buy it if it's too late." I urged Cui Li to say.

April 16, 2022 at 14:10 p.m

Cui Li and I crossed a few streets and finally came to the U8 department store on the commercial street, the door of the mall was already crowded, if it weren't for me and Cui Lisheng's slenderness, I really couldn't squeeze in.

When we came to the U8 department store, we were surprised that there were more people in the mall, everyone was anxiously waiting next to the escalator, and the elevator in the mall was even more crowded.

I looked at the floor signs, and large electrical appliances were sold on the 16th floor of the mall. I looked at the floor of the mall again, trying to go up the escalator, and I don't know how long it would take.

"Cheng Yin, I didn't expect there to be so many people, there are simply more people here than at the World Expo." Cui Li said helplessly.

"We can't take the escalator, it's a waste of time." I gestured to the other side of the mall with my eyes.

"Cheng Yin, you're not kidding, are you? Sixteenth floor, everyone who walked up here was stupid! Cui Li asked incredulously.

"If you don't want to take the stairs, then you can line up here. Don't blame me for not reminding you, when you go up, let alone the virtual TV, you can't even buy the virtual TV box. ”

"Okay, okay, the stairs are the stairs, for a folded virtual TV, I fight!" Cui Li suddenly said very manly.

April 16, 2022 at 14:28 p.m

"Cheng Yin, why haven't you arrived yet, I can't walk anymore." Cui Li said bitterly behind me.

"I said Cui Li, this is just the ninth floor, and you can't do it anymore? Where did all that rhetoric go? I said.

"I can't walk, I'm not leaving." Cui Li suddenly stopped advancing, sat down on the stairs and gasped.

From time to time, someone rushed upstairs beside us, and I looked at Cui Li helplessly, "I won't wait for you if you do this again, you just sit here and rest." And I forgot to remind you, you definitely didn't pay attention to the use time of this coupon. I motioned to Cui Li to look at the coupon in his hand, and Cui Li took out his one-fold coupon and read while looking at it: "The coupon is used on April 16, 2022...... What the?! Today only?! Cui Li suddenly stood up in a panic, "No wonder Zhang Xinran repeatedly told me that he must hand it over to you today, but I didn't look at the time when I was happy, and I almost missed it!" ”

Cui Li didn't know where the strength came from, so he ran in front of me after three steps and two steps, and turned around and said to me in a reproachful tone: "Cheng Yin, what are you still doing there?" When it's sold out, you can cry! ”

I looked at Cui Li in front of me so angry and funny, I really didn't know what to say about him. In this way, Cui Li and I ran all the way and finally came to the sixteenth floor of the U8 department store.

April 16, 2022 at 14:35 p.m

"Cheng Yin...... We...... Finally...... It's here. Cui Li said breathlessly.

I looked at the sixteenth floor of the mall, and there was almost no place to stand, and from a distance I had no idea where the counter was selling virtual TV.

"Hello, help me get ten virtual TVs."

"I want twenty!"

……

Similar sounds can be heard from time to time in the mall.

At this time, the mall's radio suddenly sounded, "Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to U8 and thank you on behalf of all the staff. As the virtual TV at the home appliance counter in the mall is about to be sold out, customers who are unable to purchase the product are requested to make a reservation on the 10th floor of the mall. Reservations are limited, so we hope you will hurry. Finally, thank you again for your love of the products in this mall, and I wish you all a happy shopping, thank you! ”

The mall's radio caused an uproar.

"What about Cheng Yin? The stock is about to sell out, so aren't our coupons useless? Cui Li suddenly showed a look of disappointment.

"Who said that? It's obviously about to be sold out, which means that we still have a chance. Now the main thing is to find a counter that sells virtual TVs. ”

I watched as the crowd around me crowded forward.

"Cheng Yin, there are so many people, we have no hope. It seems that this coupon is nothing more than the moon in the mirror, the flower in the water. Cui Li said dejectedly.

I walked forward, but the crowd made it difficult for me to walk. At this moment, I suddenly realized that there was a huge display screen above my head, with subtitles scrolling on it: Hello customers, now there are only 256 virtual TVs left, please come and buy them at a later date, thank you.

Two hundred and fifty-six?

Although there are still 256 units in stock, according to the purchase rate of 10 units and 20 units, it is estimated that they will be sold out in less than ten minutes.

"I want five, I want five! Give it to me! I've been in line here for a long time! ”

"Obviously I arrived first, I should have given it to me first! I want two! ”

"What did you get there first? I'm always ahead of you! ”

……

As virtual TVs become less and less stocked, the numbers scrolling on the screen are getting smaller and smaller, and people in line are getting impatient, and some arguments are inevitable.

"Cheng Yin, there are less than 200 units left, and there are so many people in front, even if they only buy one, we have no hope." Cui Li wanted to give up a little.

I look at the crowds, and it's becoming less and less likely that we'll be able to buy virtual TV, but as long as the numbers on the screen don't go to zero anyway, there is hope.

As the minutes passed, the numbers on the screen changed faster and faster, and the mood of the crowd became more and more impatient.

Watching this scene gives me a headache and I have to come up with a way to do it as soon as possible. I looked at Cui Li, who was anxious beside me, and his expression became solemn. No matter what, I can't let this one-fold scroll just go useless!
