Chapter 428: Another Wave of Leeks to Harvest
MilicΓ‘n, New Gold Hill, Federation Square.
Federation Square is located in the center of Xinjinshan, where high-rise buildings, countless shopping malls, is the largest commercial street in the whole Xinjinshan City, such as the famous Meidong Department Store, Jiabeifu Supermarket has flagship branches here.
Although it is not a weekend, Federation Square is particularly lively, with a dense flow of people and a lot of people, including a long queue circling around the steel guardrail, taking up most of the block.
There were men and women, black and white, but not all of them were young, and there were even many elderly people, some on crutches, some in wheelchairs, and they lined up in a trembling line.
Bruce, a black man, was in the middle of the line, bored looking at his phone.
Of course, the queue process is extremely boring, except for a few people who call friends to get together and chat, the vast majority of people are swiping their phones while listening to music, while moving forward along the line.
After swiping the phone for a while, Bruce put it down, looked ahead, the front was crowded, and then looked at the back, it was also black.
"Hey~" he sighed leisurely.
These guys, one by one, said on the Internet how bad this helmet is, how many hidden dangers, how worried they are, and they will never buy it, but how can there be so many people in line?
I think that when the fruit mobile phone was at its peak, the people queuing up to buy it were not necessarily as exaggerated as they are now!
Oh, it may also be the reason why there are too few stores, the whole new Jinshan City, there is also a store in Federation Square, unlike the fruit mobile phone store in every district, you can also buy it online, and people in the new Jinshan City are pouring over, and there are naturally more people queuing.
Hey, sure enough, it's still a little late to line up since last night! I heard that someone had set up a tent on Joniu's side three days in advance, but I don't know if it's true or not.
Just as Bruce was thinking wildly, a propaganda truck drove up on the road next to him, hanging banners, and standing propaganda vehicles of propagandists.
Propaganda vehicles are very familiar to Bruce, whenever there is a city election, a state election or a presidential election, there are such propaganda vehicles on the street, they are either handing out leaflets, or advocating how good the objects of their support are, how good the policies he has been after he came to power, and so on, from small to large, unchanged.
But this time the propaganda truck was different, because the dust had settled on the city, state, and presidential elections, and it was not the partisan propagandists in suits and leather shoes standing on the car, but the pastors.
The priests' voices were heard through the horn in the car:
ββ¦β¦ The Dream Helmet is a gift from God! We cannot live up to God's love! Every believer deserves to have his own helmet of good dreams! β
ββ¦β¦ Yes, it is the Garden of Eden blessed by God, the pure world given to us, the precursor to heaven, the paradise of the world! We must enter into it and contribute faith to our Lord! β
ββ¦β¦ That world belongs to us and to God! There should be more followers of God there to take back God's gift from the unbelievers in the East! β
ββ¦β¦ God is real, He has given us health, and He is giving us a one-third extension of life! If we are religious, He will give us more! β
β¦β¦
As a black man who grew up living next to Chinatown, Bruce did not have much devotion to God, rarely went to church on weekdays, and basically did not pray before eating, only occasionally saying a few "even buy karma", which was regarded as the only connection between him and God.
He had seen these propaganda vehicles many times in Chinatown before, and he didn't understand why these clergy were so fanatical, and they advocated over and over again that everyone should buy this Red Star brand good dream helmet, because no matter what, this entertainment equipment produced by Chinese people without faith should not be supported by them.
Of course, he had heard a lot of news about "God's apparitions", "the Lord's patrons", "miracles of curing incurable diseases" and even videos when he was surfing the Internet.
But Bruce didn't see anything in the video, an old priest touched an old man for a while, and the old man got up and said that he was well and sick, this is a miracle? No matter how you look at it, it's all a hoax of a god.
But he taught many students in his work, some of whom were devout believers, all of whom believed in seeing this "miracle of God", and none of them seemed to be fools, which made him a little confused.
But fortunately, there have been a lot fewer of these "miracles" on the Internet recently, and the videos are only the original ones, basically nothing new, and I haven't heard news such as "there are miracles again", as if the "miracles" of these gods have all disappeared overnight.
β¦β¦
After struggling and moving a little bit, Bruce finally moved into the Nieman Marcus Building, and saw the newly renovated Red Star brand good dream helmet store on the first floor, which occupied more than 300 square meters and all glass walls.
Through the transparent glass windows, Bruce could clearly see the scene in the store, and the customers were divided into five teams under the leadership of the red-uniformed shopping guides, moving between the high-tech equipment that looked like they were full of technology.
There are also advertising banners hanging at the door of the store:
"A magical sleep aid from Huaguo to help you have a good night's sleep!"
"With 50 million sales worldwide, you're the perfect choice for your bed!"
"The basic model is 3999 meters of gold, and the senior model is 39999 meters of gold, and it is now on sale!"
"Support up to 12 installments, handling fee as low as 2%!"
"Solemnly recommended by the Bishop Claremont of the Catholic Diocese of Lesser California!"
"Passionately recommended by Mr. Andrew, the former governor of California!"
"This is the best sleep aid you can buy right now!"
"Fashionable, comfortable, healthy, happy, bring the Red Star brand good dream helmet, everything can be obtained!"
β¦β¦
Efficiency in the specialty store was fast, and it wasn't long before it was Bruce's turn.
As soon as I entered the door, a blonde and blue-eyed tall shopping guide lady greeted me: "Sir, is there anything I can help you?" β
"I want to buy this good dream helmet." Bruce was blunt.
"Which model do you want to buy?" The smile on the face of the shopping guide remained unchanged: "We currently have two models, which are ......"
"I want to buy the basic model of 3999." After all, Bruce is just a kung fu assistant teacher at the Chinatown Zhenfan Guoshu Gym, and the salary is not high: "Pay in 12 months!" β
"Oh, yes, sir, please come with me." The shopping guide lady was clearly professionally trained, and there was no trace of disdain for low-income people on her face.
The following is a series of fixed processes, provide your social security card, driver's license, fingerprints, emotion detection, payment of relevant payments, binding credit cards, scanning head shapes, customizing helmet patterns, and obtaining exclusive good dream fund account cards......
The full set was down, and in less than 15 minutes, Bruce walked out of the building with the helmet box in his arms and under the envious gaze of the others in line.
