Su Le smiled and nodded. "I don't know what today will be like yet. Wait until I call home and then you can come."
Xu Sheng shook his head and said, "I'll be there in a minute!"
Su Le told Xu Sheng his idea, "Uncle Xu, listen to me. I will definitely save one for you. I just want to take this opportunity to sell the three phones to people and convince them that this store is the only one of its kind! Once many people know about it, I will start selling them again! I will try to find a new location after each sale."
Xu Sheng, a seasoned veteran, realized this wasn't just some marketing ploy that included both him and his father. "Okay, call home in advance!"
Su Le nodded in agreement. He stayed in the phone store until four in the afternoon, when Qi Ming's car slowly drove up.
Su Le thought he was almost dead! "Academician Qi! It's too late!"
Qi Ming said with a smile, "I've urged them to assemble it. The factory worked overtime all night to deliver the parts. I'll give you the excess! Five!"
Su Le's eyes lit up, and he quickly gave a thumbs up, "Academician Qi! Awesome! Absolutely awesome!"
Qi Ming stayed beside Su Le with a smile on his face. Su Le asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"
Qi Ming said, "I want to see how you liven up the atmosphere!"
Su Le looked at the five-dollar mobile phone in his hand, then looked at him and nodded.
Su Le pushed and pulled a display counter to the door. "Hey, the goods have arrived!"
After hearing this, Xu Sheng and his companions rushed over without stopping. A crowd of people had already gathered around, curiously looking at what was inside the display! It looked like a landline phone like the ones at the post office.
Su Le looked around, waited for Xu Sheng and his companions to arrive, cleared his throat, drank a sip of water, and took out a small speaker.
After he was ready, he walked over to the counter and said with a smile, "Everyone seems curious about what this thing next to me has been looking at me for so long. I will reveal the answer to you now."
Some people shifted their gaze from the counter to Su Le.
Su Le smiled and said, "This thing is called a telephone. As the name suggests, it is used to make calls."
"How can you make a phone call at such a young age?"
"How is that possible! I'm afraid he's trying to trick us!"
"It's still a phone. It's just a mold at best! It's for kids to play with."
"I thought it was something else. I waited for so long in vain. Let's go..."
Su Le didn't stop the people who wanted to leave, and continued, "I understand your disbelief. Next, I will verify that this phone is not a toy phone. I won't look for people I know well, I will just pick two from the crowd, preferably people who have a landline at home, or who have memorized the phone numbers of the post office and neighborhood committee."
Everyone looked at each other, and a man in a Zhongshan suit raised his hand. "Let me try. Just call my home phone. *******"
Su Le quickly dialed it down, and everyone held their breath, fearing that breathing too loudly would cause them to lose their hearing and slap Su Le in the face!
A clear beeping sound came from the microphone.
Soon a female voice came out, "Hello? Who is this?"
The man in the Zhongshan suit was so amazed that he was speechless!
Everyone gasped and looked at Su Le, who was standing in front of the counter with a smile on his face.
The female voice came again, "Hello? What's going on? If not, I'll hang up."
The man in the Zhongshan suit said, "Wife, it's me."
The girl was stunned, as if she had checked the caller ID. "Husband? Where are you now? Who is this number from? What time will you be back for dinner tonight?"
Everyone's headphones were filled with a chattering female voice, and Zhongshanfu immediately replied, "Wife! I'll show you something good later!"
After that, he hung up the phone, returned it to Su Le, and took out his briefcase. "How much is it? I'll buy one now! It's so convenient! Before, I had to sit in the office to answer calls and arrange work. Now with this, I'm instantly free. No matter where I am, I can contact my family the first time."
Everyone looked at the two of them in confusion, "Is this the so-called shill?"
"Looks like it."
Su Le didn't get angry, and said directly, "You can call any phone number there. Except calling the police, of course! Don't occupy police resources."
The man who just said he was a shill raised his hand instantly.
The people around him looked at him with disdain, saying, "You're still calling others shills! I suspect he's one too!"
"That's right, I believed everything he said just now."
The man stiffened his neck and said, "I'm helping you test! What do you know!" He walked forward and took the phone from Su Le.
The man immediately called the post office and asked briefly about his own courier.
The man reluctantly returned the phone to Su Le. Everyone had begun to believe that this little thing in Su Le's hand could be used to make calls.
They all asked about the price.
Su Le smiled faintly and said, "There are only five in total at the moment, and the price of one is 2,000."
“This price is too high!”
"Let's go, I can't even afford to buy anything!"
Many people who didn't have telephones at home left.
The man in the Zhongshan suit was also thinking, and Su Le continued, "Everyone knows that scarcity makes things valuable. There are only seven of these in the entire country, which shows how high their cost is. It was also created by countless scientific and technological personnel who toiled day and night for countless hours. But..."
Everyone who stayed where they were nodded and were about to whisper to each other when they heard Su Le pause. They all looked at her, waiting for what to say next.
"But after several rounds of intense negotiations, we are officially opening today. Don't charge 2,000, only 1,899! First come, first served! Enjoy it first! There will be no discounts later! And only five units will be sold! There is a number inside, so you can pay with confidence in the future." Su Le exaggerated.
