Wangfujing Street, crowded, Chinese habits, within 15 years is the New Year.

Walking on the street hand in hand with Yang Zhe, walking in this warm and cold early spring, Jiang Xun also felt satisfied.

In this ancient capital, did the ancients also walk like this?

Well, in China's 5,000-year-old fine tradition of Chinese clothing and Hanfu, it seems that men always have to wear something around their waists.

The jade pendants of the pre-Qin Dynasty, the seals of the Han Dynasty, the swords of the Tang and Song dynasties, and the incense sachets of the Ming and Qing dynasties are all objects that show their identity.

In the late eighties and early nineties, pagers appeared on the waist again, and this thing could not be covered by a coat, otherwise it would be like a brocade at night.

The pager hanging on the waist, the gray suit and red tie, and the foreign trademark on the cuffs are reluctant to tear off, which is the fashion style of the local tyrants in the late 80s and 90s.

Jiang Xun actually wanted to buy a pager for a long time, he went out to shoot a TV series and called Haizheng, but Haizheng's call was not for him alone.

Besides, the people in the crew can't find him, and sometimes they are in a hurry.

In the crew, Director Xie Jin was equipped with a pager, and everyone was very interested in this thing.

With this play, you can enter the era of no time and space distance, and you can be found everywhere and at any time, but when the sound of dripping on the street sounded, pedestrians stopped to cover their waists, and those who didn't know thought that Chinese men generally had kidney problems.

When the two entered the post and telecommunications office, Yang Zhe looked at the pagers in the glass counter, there were leaders in the group who also had this play, and his brother also had this play, but when he really saw the price, Yang Zhe was secretly speechless, good guy, a pager costs 2858 yuan!

She looked at Jiang Xunjun's green satchel, which contained cash that had just been withdrawn from the bank, all wrapped in newspapers.

Jiang Xun was also looking at the things on the counter, which was an "antique" made in Japan: a coffee-colored body, with a small card sleeve, and a small silver chain that could be pinned to the waistband of his trousers.

This pager has a vertical body and a single row of numbers at the top, and can only display numbers, if someone leaves a message, it will show "code words" like early telegram codes.

But Rao is such an antique, and it is also a luxury that countless people dream of in this era, and the price of three or four thousand has become a symbol of status and status at this time!

"That year, when U.S. President Nixon visited China, when he visited the Great Wall, Nixon's body suddenly made a sound of "Didi Didi......"

Seeing that Yang Zhe was a little nervous in front of the price, Jiang Xun joked, "Our escorts were all shocked, they didn't know what happened, and later reported to their superiors that they knew that this thing was called a pager." ”

In fact, as early as 1984, Guangzhou opened the country's first digital paging station, and in November of the following year, the wireless paging communication system of the Beiping Municipal Telecommunications Administration was officially put into use.

The spark of the "paging era" has been set on fire!

"Comrade, take this one for me." Across the counter, Jiang Xun ordered a pager.

The middle-aged woman standing at the counter stood up lazily, she didn't answer, but looked at Jiang Xun and Yang Zhe, her eyes swept the two from head to toe, looking at this young appearance, making the middle-aged woman as if she hadn't heard Jiang Xun's words.

"Eldest sister, can we take a look at this?" Yang Zhe asked softly again.

"Look, what should I do if I see it bad, will you pay or I will pay?" The middle-aged woman didn't look at them anymore, turned around and sat back in the chair lazily, just a bag of melon seeds in her hand.

"We don't just look, we buy." Jiang Xun didn't want his mood to be disturbed, so he tapped the counter with his finger.

"Buy, can the average person afford it?" Middle-aged women scoffed.

Yang Zhe was a little embarrassed, and the people around him were looking at the two of them, but they were really good-looking to be handsome men and beautiful women.

"We are not ordinary people, we are two kinds of people." Jiang Xun teased, "Ordinary people can afford it!" ”

Wow –

The people around them burst into laughter, and the middle-aged woman glared at them fiercely, ignoring them.

Jiang Xun really didn't expect that he couldn't buy a pager even if he had money!

"Let's go." Yang Zhe tugged at Jiang Xun's sleeve, Jiang Xun still wanted to theorize, but Yang Zhe pulled him out, just right, this thing is too expensive, and it is appropriate for people not to show it.

"If you can't afford it, you have to look at ......it blindly," the middle-aged woman stared at the backs of the two and added.

"Hey, what are you pulling me for," Jiang Xun reluctantly but Yang Zhe still followed, "We are here to buy pagers, we haven't bought anything, how can we go back?" ”

The argument between the two attracted a fat middle-aged man in front of the door, who looked at Jiang Xun, "Are you ...... You're like a TV star...... Yes, yes, you are Gao Xiang! ”

"You are?" Jiang Xun looked at him, he didn't know him, and when he saw the middle-aged man staring at them, Yang Zhe's hand let go.

"My surname is Guo," the middle-aged man introduced himself with a smile, "You are Gao Xiang, I have watched your TV series, your advertisements," he smiled and made a gesture of please, "Why, if you want to buy a pager, then you must enjoy the policy." ”

"Director Guo." When the three of them walked to the counter again, the middle-aged woman immediately stood up with a smiling face, and the laziness on her body was gone, but when she saw Jiang Xun and Yang Zhe, she smiled embarrassedly, but she still had to laugh, not laughing!

"Can I, a normal person, look at a pager?" Jiang Xun didn't care about her, and asked with a smile.

Two ordinary people?

Director Guo immediately knew that there was something here, but he didn't ask on the spot, but just introduced it to Jiang Xun in person, "These paging stations have just been listed, and we will carry out preferential promotions on World Telecommunications Day in May and give you a preferential price, well......"

He approached Jiang Xun and said a number softly, and Yang Zhe's eyes immediately widened.

1858 yuan!

All of a sudden, it saved her half a year's salary!

But no one is eligible for this discount, you can first get a few thousand yuan to buy this game!

"The service fee is 450 yuan per year, and the network access fee is 700 yuan per year, a total of 3,000 yuan." Director Guo introduced with a smile, Jiang Xun is a star, a star can earn dozens or hundreds of dollars for an episode of a TV series, and he is not bad for money!

Yang Zhe's heart rose again, he thought it was a discount, but he didn't expect that there would be so many famous halls!

"Okay," Jiang Xun put the satchel on the counter and took out the money wrapped in the newspaper from the bag, "Get me two." ”

Director Guo was speechless when he saw Jiang Xun open the newspaper and looked at the great unity.

The middle-aged woman only felt that her heart was violently hit by something, and her breath was blocked in her chest, and she couldn't breathe.

Two pagers were placed on the glass counter in unison.

No matter what Jiang Xun was thinking, the middle-aged woman introduced enthusiastically, "This is the numerical number of the common phrase, after someone leaves a message, the pager will display the corresponding number to you."

On-board pager ......

Digital pagers come with instructions that list the numerical numbers of dozens of common phrases. For example, "quick callback" is 123, and "done" is 223.

Others can't understand it, so if you memorize the instructions in advance, you can translate the meaning at a glance.

"This is the number code comparison table," the middle-aged woman smiled and took out a few cards, "This is the code book, you put the comparison table on the back of the pager, it is very convenient." ”

A comparison table of numeric codes is pasted on the body of the pager, which lists the numbers corresponding to each surname, such as: Chen surname, showing 016, Li 101, Zhu 036, Zhou 034, Zhang 024, etc.

When receiving a number other than the phone number, the person being called immediately took out a small notebook and "translated" according to the code book, just like the receiver in a spy movie, so many people simply pasted the code list on the back of the BP machine to make it easy to find.

"Comrade Jiang Xun, let's choose a number," Director Guo was even more enthusiastic, "Choose an auspicious number, and you will not be charged a selection fee." ”

You have to queue up to get a pager, and if you want to get an auspicious number, you have to pay a selection fee, but now the auspicious number on the book is up to Jiang Xun to choose.

Jiang Xun smiled and handed the notebook to Yang Zhe, "You choose." ”
