Chang'an Avenue is the most prosperous street in Beijing, there is no one, it almost traverses the east-west axis of the center of Beijing, the total length of the line is 3.8 kilometers, with Tiananmen Square as the boundary is divided into East Chang'an Avenue and West Chang'an Street, east to the famous Wangfujing Street, west to Xuanwumen, and close to Zhengyangmen and Xidan Street.

It can be said that a Chang'an Avenue runs through Beijing, an ancient and gradually modern city.

Zhong Tingting said that the department store, located on East Chang'an Avenue near Wangfujing Street, this is the largest department store in Beijing, built in 1983, just opened last year, which sells a variety of products, not only domestic products, but also a lot of foreign trade goods.

This is different from the Friendship Shop in the early years, which was a state-owned enterprise that mainly served foreigners, specializing in selling imported goods and domestic handicrafts to them.

And this department store is a Sino-foreign joint venture, and almost no one in Beijing uses any food stamps, so there are no limitations in this regard.

The first three days of the large-scale event attracted almost all men, women and children from all over Beijing, and the open supply of imported products, despite the high price, also made the big guys look at it.

In the past, imported large color TVs could only be heard from other people's mouths, but now they are also everywhere in department stores, not to mention imported canned food, Coca-Cola and the like.

It's not the first time Li Yange has come here to shop, when it first opened last year, he took Cheng Shaojun to visit here, everything is real, there are many daily commodities, everything that can be used normally at home, almost all of them are used here, and they are worthy of being called a department store!

At this time, it was afternoon, the department store was still overcrowded, Li Yange finally squeezed in, asked the salesman where to buy the pager, and went straight to the electrical area on the second floor, and was surprised to find that in front of the counter with the pager poster, there were more than a dozen people around.

A man in his thirties, wearing a round-rimmed glasses and looking like a civil servant, exclaimed, "Why is it so expensive?" If you want two thousand five, didn't you say that it would only cost two thousand? ”

The salesman hurriedly explained: "Sir, two thousand is the previous price, the pager has been selling too well recently, there are too many people who come to buy, the supply is scarce, our department store is also urgently transferred from abroad, the price is naturally a little more expensive than before." ”

There was a fashionable girl with curly hair and beautiful makeup on the side, who frowned slightly and said, "But you are too expensive, five hundred more at once, which is a quarter of the previous one." ”

The sales said helplessly: "No way, lady, it's this price now, if you're not in a hurry, you can wait for the time being, or look at another brand of pager." ”

"I don't want that! How can this product be compared with the United States! The fashionable girl pulled the corners of her mouth, don't look at the price of Panasonic, but now everyone buys Motorola's pager, and few people buy Panasonic at all.

If you buy a Panasonic pager and bring it back to the unit, wouldn't you be laughed to death, and you would rather spend a little more money than buy Panasonic.

Thinking like this, the fashionable girl gritted her teeth and said, "Can't you really get a discount?" ”

"I'm sorry ma'am, I can't really get a discount, but we can give you a shell case."

Saying that, the saleswoman took out a shell case, which is similar to the mobile phone case in later generations, which is used to protect the pager, but there is another function, that is, it can be pinned to the waist, and a very thin iron chain is attached to it, so as to avoid accidentally falling to the ground when taking the pager, and at the same time to avoid being touched by thieves.

"Okay, then leave me one, I don't have enough money on me, go to the bank to get it now." Seeing the small shell cover, the fashionable girl's eyes lit up, and after asking the saleswoman to reserve one for herself, she hurriedly walked downstairs.

At this time, Li Yange, who was listening to the same as everyone on the side, looked up at the saleswoman and asked, "How much is Panasonic?" ”

“1899！”

Hearing that Panasonic's pager was 700 yuan different from Motorola's, Li Yange was surprised, this price difference is too much!

"What's the difference between the two?"

Hearing Li Yange's words, the round-rimmed glass-framed man lifted his glasses, glanced at his lips and said: "There must be a difference, this is Motorola's, I heard that it is produced by a very large company in the United States, not to mention the good quality, and the signal acceptance effect is also very good, unlike Panasonic's pager, sometimes the signal of the pager is often not received." ”

Li Yange raised his eyebrows, and he didn't know if it was true or not, he had a pager in his last life, but it was 93 years, and he bought eighty percent of new second-hand goods from others, remembering that it was a domestic brand waveguide pager, the price was only more than 600 yuan, and the ability to receive signals was quite strong, and there was no signal interruption in Sijiu City.

The saleswoman nodded and said: "This gentleman is right, Motorola's receipt of 99126 units from the Beijing Post and Telecommunications Bureau is indeed a little stronger than Panasonic, but if it is used in the city, the two are actually about the same, not much difference." ”

"Then bring me two Panasonics." Li Yange thought about it and decided to buy Panasonic first, but he knew that next year Motorola would configure a Chinese version of the pager for the domestic market, and it was estimated that it would have to be replaced at that time.

"Two of them, yes? Ok sir, please wait a moment. ”

The saleswoman excitedly went to get two boxes of unopened Panasonic pagers, then wrote a list and handed it to Li Yange: "Sir, a total of 3798 yuan." ”

Seeing that the other party only took two boxes of pagers that had not been opened, Li Yange couldn't help asking, "Don't deliver shells?" ”

"Panasonic is not delivered, sir, if you want, you can buy one for ten dollars."

Ten dollars a piece, it's really expensive!

Li Yange shook his head, took out an envelope from his jacket pocket, took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills from it, counted thirty-eight and handed them to the other party first, and then took out 18 yuan from his pocket, and said, "Then buy two, a total of 3818 you order." ”

"That's right, 3818 yuan!"

The saleswoman carefully counted the money, and after confirming the amount, she put the pager and the shell into a plastic bag and handed it to Li Yange.

After taking the things, when Li Yange was about to leave, the saleswoman said in the back: "Sir, wait, this is the manual that is equipped, and there is a paging code formulated by the paging station, and the information on how to go to the post and telecommunications bureau to access the network. ”

"Okay." Looking at the paging code that was no different from what he remembered, Li Yange stuffed it into a plastic bag, turned around and ran towards the stronghold, so that he would not have to go to the post and telecommunications office again.

"Cut, I thought I was going to buy a Motorola!" The man with round-rimmed glasses pursed his lips and shouted, he just introduced so much, and thought that the other party would buy a Motorola.

The saleswoman opened her mouth at this time and asked, "Sir, do you think you want Panasonic or Motorola?" ”

"Panasonic! Buy Panasonic! ”
