Chapter 364: Becoming the First Woman to Own a Mobile Phone
A few days later, on November 18, the mobile phone was officially put on the market for sale.
Ye Ying contacted An Yongbo again.
An Yongbo said that Big Mobile had already helped her get it as soon as possible, and it depends on when she can come and get it.
Ye Ying was so excited that she couldn't sleep that night.
Finally, she has waited for this historic moment and can be the "big brother" for once.
She had to go to Shenzhen in person to bring the mobile phone back, and it took her two days and nights to convince Ji Lianqi.
Fortunately, the trip went smoothly and the entire set of mobile phones cost more than 20,000 yuan.
Even though my heart bleeds, it's worth it!
After finishing the work, Ye Ying rushed back without any delay. Before she left, she had promised Ji Lianqi that she would not stay here too long.
When Ye Ying came back with a mobile phone as big as a brick, it immediately caused quite a stir.
Li Lanxin screamed excitedly: "Oh my god! I've seen this thing on TV. Those gang leaders all have one!"
"This thing is like a brick. I'm afraid it can knock someone to death." Zhao Ting muttered in disgust.
"Of course it can." Liu Juan picked up the mobile phone and weighed it in her hand. "I think it weighs about three pounds. Oh my god, this guy is really powerful!"
"Can this guy fight now? Can I give it a try? I just need to make a phone call to my dead ghost's village today!"
"Yes." Ye Ying stretched out the antenna on the mobile phone, "Then you can try it."
She learned this from TV, apparently because the signal of her mobile phone was often bad.
If necessary, you may even have to climb to a higher place to fight.
Liu Juan thought for a moment and dialed a number in front of all the military wives.
Maybe it was because of the poor signal or something else, but after the call was connected, Liu Juan repeatedly called out her home address, but the other party didn't seem to hear clearly, and kept asking "Huh?" "Hello?" "Who is it?"
After trying this several times, either the other party couldn't hear her, or Liu Juan couldn't hear what the other party was saying.
After all this, the military wives, who were full of yearning, began to show questioning expressions.
"What kind of crap is this? You spent 20,000 yuan to buy this?" Zhao Ting was the first to complain: "Ye Ying, don't let others treat you like a fool, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone else started to make fun of him: "Yeah, with the money, why don't you do something else with it? It's like being fooled by this thing. After all this time, it's still not as good as a phone!"
"That's not the way to say it." Li Lanxin shook her head and retorted, "You can't carry a phone with you, but you can carry a cell phone with you. You can call your family and friends anytime, anywhere, how great is that."
"That's good, but the key is that I can't hear it clearly!"
The military wives present were just watching the show and all agreed that the 20,000 yuan was not worth it, and that Ye Ying had been taken advantage of and the money was wasted.
Ye Ying turned a deaf ear to him, took the mobile phone, pulled the antenna to its longest setting, and handed it to Liu Juan, "How about you try again?"
Liu Juan tried again, but still couldn't hear what the other party was saying.
"Sister Ye Ying, you didn't buy a fake, did you?" Wu Yu'e frowned. "I read in the newspapers and news that there are only a little over a hundred on sale this time. With such a small quantity, how could it be your turn? You really got cheated!"
As soon as this was said, everyone followed suit.
Ye Ying treated Wu Yu'e's words as a joke and replied with a fake smile: "These mobile phones on the market are made by Motorola. We don't have this technology in our country at present. Where did the fakes come from?"
"Yu'e, you have worked in a scientific research unit before, how could you not know?"
Wu Yu'e was suddenly speechless.
Ye Ying looked at Liu Juan who was still trying, frowned and said:
"Why don't you go to the rooftop to make the call? I guess the signal is not very good."
"Okay, let's go! Let's give it a try."
So, a group of people followed Liu Juan and Ye Ying to the top of the building, wanting to see whether this extremely expensive mobile phone was really that useful.
When she reached the top floor, Liu Juan dialed the number that was so familiar to her again and said "Hello".
The military wives waited with bated breath.
This time, the person on the other side could finally hear Liu Juan's voice. "You, you are the one from He Peng's family, right? Wait a minute, I'll go call someone over for you!"
Not long after, He Peng's mother was called to the village committee to answer the phone.
This time, the communication between the two was very smooth, and the previous embarrassing situation did not occur again.
After the call ended, Liu Juan returned the mobile phone to Ye Ying and couldn't help but praise it a few times, "This phone is a bit heavy, but it is still very useful. It's just that the signal is not so good sometimes. In short, I think it's worth the money Ye Ying spent!"
At this moment, those who had originally been gloating and wanted to see Ye Ying's 20,000 yuan go to waste, all silently changed their expressions.
With this big mobile phone, Ye Ying could then "flex her muscles" and quickly opened the employment agency.
However, after using it for two days, she found that the battery of this mobile phone was consumed very quickly and the battery life was very poor. It could only be used for half an hour on a full charge.
But for this era, she thinks that being able to achieve this level is already quite good, so let's not compare it with the perspective of future generations.
In the first few days after the employment agency opened, almost no one knew about it.
So she called all the existing employers one by one, found out their current employment needs, and then started to promote the product on a large scale.
She named this employment agency "Xiang Qian Chong Employment Agency"
Because of the loud sign and the fact that workers were not charged a head fee, a large number of people who were in urgent need of jobs came immediately after the promotion.
After just one day, Ye Ying's throat was sore from making phone calls.
Although the amount is relatively small, it has helped many laid-off workers find jobs successfully.
The group of unemployed workers is very large, and because Ye Ying's employment agency does not charge a per-person fee, word quickly spread among the vast group of unemployed workers.
In addition, the Chinese New Year is only a few months away, and the workers want to take advantage of this time to earn some extra money for the New Year.
Therefore, within just a few days, the "Xiang Qian Chong Employment Agency" was already packed with people.
Ye Ying was so busy that she was dizzy and felt more and more exhausted. She hardly had time to eat lunch.
I was so hungry that I saw stars several times.
At noon that day, Liu Juan, Zhao Ting and Li Lanxin suddenly appeared in Ye Ying's employment agency.
"Why are you here?" Ye Ying asked in surprise after she had just finished a phone call to the fertilizer factory.
"It was Captain Ji who asked us to come here," Li Lanxin explained.
What? He called for help?
How did he convince them?
Especially Zhao Ting, who has always been at odds with me.
Forget it. I don’t have time to delve into it right now.
Not long after the three of them were assigned tasks, two men who looked like they were not to be trifled with suddenly showed up.
The man glanced at the sign and said provocatively, "Looking for money? We need a job urgently. We won't work for less than 50 yuan a month!"
Ye Ying sneered: "You two should take a rest. There is no suitable position for you here."
The man said with disdain: "Is this all you have here? You are just bragging."
Ye Ying thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there are positions with this salary. If you want to give it a try..."
"What is it?"
Ye Ying smiled and took out a small "Paying a large sum of money to have a child" advertisement that she had torn off a telephone pole.
