Chapter 0112 Nokia 8210
Of course, Taixi Road at this time period is not as prosperous as a few years later, and it is obvious that mobile phones at this time should be classified as luxury, and not everyone can afford to use them. Even the simplest mobile phone has to be about 3000, and 3000 at this time is not the same concept as 3000 ten years later.
Of course, the mobile phone boss at this time is none other than the Big Three, Nokia, Samsung, and Motorola. These three companies basically monopolize the mobile phone market in China. Of course, there are other companies that also occupy some market share, but these three are undoubtedly dominant.
"I heard that there are a lot of liars and thieves in this area, Li Xiaoran, pay attention to safety, don't let people get close to you within half a meter, of course, I will watch you!" Yang Chen and Li Xiaoran walked under a row of sycamore trees on Taixi Road. These plane trees are still the same as they were ten years later.
It's just that there are a lot of stalls on the side of the road that have a bench, write a sign, and recycle old mobile phones.
At this time, people will have to use at least two or three years to buy a mobile phone, and they can't be rotten anymore and are reluctant to throw it away.
"With you, of course I'm relieved! Let's go, let's take a look inside this store!" Li Xiaoran pointed to a store, Yang Chen looked at the signboard, it was really a Nokia store.
The waiter in the store hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically, "Are you here to choose a mobile phone, our Nokia is the world's No. 1 brand, and the quality is impeccable!"
Yang Chen didn't say anything, and was led to a counter by the beautiful saleswoman.
Yang Chen saw the classic Nokia 8210 at a glance. This and its upgraded version of the 8250 can be said to be the representative products of Nokia, and in this era when mobile phones only have communication functions, it can be said that they have won the favor of countless people.
"Li Xiaoran, what do you think of this?" Yang Chen pointed to an 8210 with a red shell and said to Li Xiaoran.
"Yang Chen, do you know anything about mobile phones, I don't know much about them! I just know that I can make phone calls!"
"Hehe, I'm a little bit of a know, well, this young lady, can you introduce the performance of this phone?"
"Well, is it this 8210? This is our company's latest mobile phone just launched this year, with a standby time of up to 150 hours, weighing less than 80 grams, supporting GSM communication network, single-string ringtone, and also comes with alarm clock, games, calendars, calculators and other functions, relatively speaking, the functions are more comprehensive! It is your good choice!"
"Is this all the features? Do I want to tell you that I need a mobile phone that can take pictures, can take pictures, can play MP3 audio files, MP4 video files, can browse WAP web pages wirelessly, can watch TV programs online, supports smart downloads, has an operating system, and only sells for 400 yuan?" Yang Chen said 10 years later, a domestic copycat smartphone.
Hearing Yang Chen say a lot, the salesman and Li Xiaoran were confused, "I haven't seen the mobile phone you said, can the mobile phone take pictures?" The salesperson was obviously stunned, and it seemed that the person who bought the mobile phone knew more than the person who sold it.
"I also know no, I just think it would be nice if the phone had these functions!Moreover, the price is still cheap, look at your mobile phone, 2880! Can it be cheaper!" Yang Chen took the mobile phone and looked at it carefully, in fact, there is nothing to look at, Nokia's mobile phone is still trustworthy.
"This is the price set by the company, I can't be the master, and this is already the cheapest price in the entire Taixi Road and even Yidu, our company is a Nokia store, of course, it will be cheaper than other stores where we take the goods here, and, you buy now, we will also send a phone card, free access to the network, a set of accessories, including headphones, seat charger, travel charging, and send a board, but also send a KFC coupon coupon, you see you are two people to buy, I will be the master to send you two coupons, you buy a mobile phone for your girlfriend, and then go to KFC to enjoy the couple package, how happy you want to be!”
Yang Chen's face was feverish when the salesman said it, if he stayed for a while and the money was taken out of Li Xiaoran's pocket, it would not be a shame, when would he have the ability to buy a mobile phone for his girlfriend!
2880 ah, not 288.
However, being misunderstood by others to have such a beautiful girlfriend, Yang Chen did not defend himself.
Li Xiaoran's face turned crimson when the salesperson said, why is he always mistaken for Yang Chen's girlfriend today, are we really a good match, Li Xiaoran secretly glanced at Yang Chen, this old classmate who was not good-looking three years ago has indeed changed a lot.
When I graduated from junior high school, I was shorter than myself, but now I am half a head taller than myself.
When I graduated from junior high school, my grades were not satisfactory, so I could only go to No. 8 Middle School to study in high school, but I was admitted to the Chinese Association with a high score of sixth overall.
What has happened to Yang Chen in the past three years?
The first stage before a woman falls in love is curiosity, Li Xiaoran feels that Yang Chen is full of a sense of mystery, as if he is quite looking forward to understanding such a mystery.
"Li Xiaoran, what do you think?" Yang Chen turned his head and asked Li Xiaoran with the sample. This is just a plastic model, at this time will not take out the real machine for customers to try, only after the customer determines the purchase intention, will take out the real machine, let the customer choose. It's like the afterlife, and the real machine is just picked.
"Well," Li Xiaoran came back to her senses, she didn't have much research on mobile phones, and she really didn't know much, but the price of 2880 was within Li Xiaoran's acceptable range.
Yang Chen also knows that in this era when copycats have not yet become popular and the domestic production rate is not high, nearly 3000 is a certain price for a mobile phone, and this mobile phone is the latest model that has just been listed!
Yang Chen's first mobile phone was bought in early 2003, a very low-end domestic mobile phone, at that time the mobile phone could already have chord ringtones, and it could take pictures, relatively speaking, Yang Chen's model was much more low-end, and Yang Chen was more than 1000 oceans.
It's just 2000 now.
In other words, this price is really only like this.
"If you think it's okay, it's okay!" Li Xiaoran actually chose to believe Yang Chen's judgment.
"I think this is very suitable for you at present! It is said that this mobile phone is very resistant to falling, and you can smash walnuts!"
"This gentleman really likes to joke, but the shock resistance of our mobile phone is better, but after all, it is an electronic product, and we still have to use it with care!"
"You have a problem with your mobile phones that will never change, that is, every time you remove the battery, you have to reset the time and date, I don't know how you did it! ”
"It seems that you know a lot about our mobile phones, wait a minute, I'll get it right away!" The waiter entered the counter and took out a bright red shell 8210, a white shell!
"Li Xiaoran, what color do you like?"
Li Xiaoran took the two mobile phones and looked at them repeatedly, "It's still the red one!"
"Then the red one!May I ask you, sir, are you paying in cash or a bank card?" The waiter always thought that Yang Chen bought a mobile phone and gave it to Li Xiaoran, so he directly asked Yang Chen to collect the money.
Yang Chen smiled awkwardly, "Li Xiaoran, do you pay cash or swipe your card?"
Li Xiaoran also knew that the waiter had always misunderstood, but she didn't defend herself at the beginning, but at this time it was revealed in its true form, "I swiped the card."
"Why, isn't this young lady this gentleman's girlfriend?"
"Who told you that if you don't pay, you're not a boyfriend!" Yang Chen actually argued with the salesperson.
"Oh, yes, hehe, I thought...... This young lady, if you swipe your card, please come with me. The salesman smiled awkwardly.
Yang Chen accompanied Li Xiaoran to the cashier, "What are the three packs of your mobile phones?"
"Oh, that's right, sir, what about our mobile phone, three days to return, 15 days to replace, 3 months to repair!
"I don't worry, can I rest assured, 3,000 yuan, not 300! Do you know how difficult it is for working people to earn this money!" Yang Chen seemed to have forgotten that Li Xiaoran's father was not a working person, but a civil servant.
"Hehe, you can't say that, everything has a necessary value for everything. ”
"Yes, you know how much rice is a pound now, 7 cents, that is to say, I bought your mobile phone, I want to pull 4,000 pounds of rice, and I can pile up a hill in your store, and I changed it to such a 76-gram mobile phone!"
Of course, Yang Chen just said casually, but the salesman was not angry, now is the final stage of business, and it is not too late to get angry after paying the money, "Sir, the mobile phone is now a high-tech product, and it has such added value." ”
"Well, I know, but when mobile phones are as cheap as cabbage, everyone on the street will be able to afford them. ”
"Hehe, I hope so!"
"Miss, please enter the password!" The salesperson reminded Li Xiaoran to enter the password.
"Please put away your bank card!" Li Xiaoran signed the transfer slip printed by the POS machine, put the bank card back in his wallet and put it in his satchel.
"Well, we will send you a mobile phone card, please ask what number you choose, our company is cooperating with mobile companies, so we do not provide Unicom numbers for the time being. The salesperson gave Li Xiaoran a book with a mobile phone number and asked Li Xiaoran to choose the number he liked.
"That's it, 138...... 8" Li Xiaoran pointed to a number and said to the salesperson.
"Well, okay, I'll give you a number right away!"
"Please take your mobile phone, if you have any questions, please contact us as soon as possible!" After completing a series of steps, the salesperson handed the mobile phone to Li Xiaoran.
"Oh, okay, thank you!" Li Xiaoran took the phone and dialed a call, "Hey, Dad, it's me, um, I bought a mobile phone today, this is my mobile phone number, you can call me later! Well, I know, I'm not alone! Okay, goodbye, I'm still in the mall, I'll go back and call you again!"
"Congratulations, Li Xiaoran, you have now become a fashionista, and only those who are at the forefront of success have the ability to use mobile phones. Yang Chen said with a smile.
"You also have a mobile phone, you became a fashion family before me!"
"I picked it up!" Yang Chen didn't say that it was sent by someone, and he didn't know how Liao Yiren would feel if he knew what he said.
Yang Chen accompanied Li Xiaoran out of the store.
"Who believes it, you know more about mobile phones than other salespeople's salesmen! However, it's true, you've been in your rural hometown before high school, how can you know about these things!"
"Do I want to buy one too, my phone is a little problematic, it may break down at any time, anyway, I got a windfall of 3000. ”
"That's right, you got the 3,000 scholarship awarded by the school, and I haven't asked you for a treat yet!" Li Xiaoran suddenly found a reason for Yang Chen to entertain.
"Treat, let's go eat Kaifeng dishes at noon!"
"What kind of dish is Kaifeng?"
"KFC, didn't you get two coupons, I'll just add them if it's not enough! It's the first time I've come to such a big city, the first time I've eaten foreign fast food, and the first time I've eaten with you, and these will become good memories in the future." ”
"If you get a bonus of 3,000, you will have a KFC meal?" Li Xiaoran said with some disappointment.
"Then what else do you want, do we still want to go to a movie?" Yang Chen asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"Really, you're going to invite me to a movie!" Li Xiaoran suddenly laughed like a child.
Yang Chen also felt that what was wrong with him, as if he was suddenly very willing to invite Li Xiaoran to watch a movie.
"Well, let's go to the movies!" Yang Chen had to nod, he couldn't let Li Xiaoran down.
