Chapter 146 A Chance Encounter



Computers in this era were still like bricks, big and bulky, and their running speed wasn't very fast.

It is already the most advanced and fashionable thing in the current era. After all, it is a product of technology and can play games, so it is naturally sought after by many wealthy people.

However, in this day and age, only the wealthiest families could afford to buy a computer.

Despite being called a computer mall, there aren't actually many shops selling computers inside.

After all, even at cost price, a computer isn't cheap, and there aren't many merchants in the entire city of Yanjing that can handle so many large-scale wholesale transactions at the same time.

So rather than calling this a computer mall, it's more accurate to describe it as an electronics mall where all kinds of home appliances are gathered together.

Faced with the dazzling array of information before him, Zhao Defu looked left and right, instantly transforming into a curious child.

"Brother Sheng, these computers all look pretty much the same, which one should we buy?"

"Besides, I've seen some that sell for over ten thousand, while others are only nine thousand. Is there really any difference between the two? We're just using it for office work anyway, so there's no need to buy something that good..."

Faced with Zhao Defu's various curious inquiries, Jiang Sheng not only did not become impatient, but also patiently answered Zhao Defu's questions.

"These computers have different configurations because of their different prices."

As Jiang Sheng walked, he pointed to the computers in front of him. He stood on both sides of the road without going into the store. He just talked to Zhao Defu about the differences between the computers.

"It is precisely because of the different configurations that some computers, although inexpensive, cannot run those office software programs, so even if we buy them, they are of little use."

"Moreover, there are many factors that affect computer speed, such as graphics card, CPU, etc., so we still need to figure out the relevant configurations before making any plans."

After listening to Jiang Sheng's series of explanations, Zhao Defu nodded in sudden understanding.

"Although my family has a computer, I've always just played with it and never paid attention to its specifications or anything."

"No wonder some of these computers are expensive and some are cheap, now I know why."

Having learned the reason, Zhao Defu looked at the three or four computer shops in front of him and pointed directly to one of them.

"Let's just pick any store and go in for a look. The sooner we buy, the more at ease we'll feel."

Jiang Sheng thought the same thing, so he nodded, and the two of them entered one of the computer stores.

The computer seller was a middle-aged man in his forties. When he saw Jiang Sheng and Zhao Defu, two teenagers who were only eighteen or nineteen years old, enter the shop, he immediately put on a warm smile.

"Are you two young men here to look at computers?"

After asking the question, and seeing that both of them nodded, the middle-aged man subtly sized them up.

The two young men in front of me were dressed rather plainly, but since they were able to enter a computer store at this time, they must be wealthy.

Sure enough, young people these days are all so low-key!

The middle-aged man, having already imagined it all, quickly followed behind the two, enthusiastically introducing them to them.

"The computers here are pretty good, especially this one that costs 15,000!"

The middle-aged man's eyes darted around, and he quickly pointed to one of the computers, introducing it with great enthusiasm and seriousness.

"Whether it's the graphics card or any other configuration, it's the best machine we have in this store. Why don't you two consider it?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng followed the shop owner's gaze and looked over.

When he saw the detailed specifications, his face remained expressionless, but he scoffed inwardly.

It seems the shop owner probably thought he didn't understand computers at all, so he tried to cheat him in any way possible.

With this configuration, nine thousand yuan would be the absolute maximum, yet they dared to ask him for fifteen thousand.

Isn't it just because they think he's a student and that he's rich and stupid?

He calmly looked at the setup in front of him, then glanced at the smiling shop owner.

Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Defu's eyes lit up.

"With such a high price and such impressive specs, bro, why don't we buy this computer?"

Seeing Zhao Defu grinning like a landlord's foolish son, Jiang Sheng shook his head helplessly.

"Boss, are you taking advantage of me because I don't know anything?"

At that moment, Jiang Sheng raised an eyebrow, making everything clear.

"Young man, how can you say I'm bullying you!"

Seeing Jiang Sheng's calm demeanor, the shop owner's heart skipped a beat.

Could this young man know something about computers?

Could it be that I've already kicked a hornet's nest before I even had a chance to start fooling people?

The shop owner's smile instantly turned awkward, but he still forced a smile and said, "What are you saying? I only recommended this high-spec gaming computer to you because I thought you were a student. How can you say that to me? I've been selling computers in this computer mall for a year or two, and I'm absolutely honest with everyone!"

Zhao Defu glanced at the shop owner, whose face was filled with utmost sincerity, and then looked at his trusted brother beside him.

For a moment, he didn't know who to believe.

"Brother Sheng, you haven't misunderstood them, have you...?"

Zhao Defu was pondering this when Jiang Sheng interrupted him, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke earnestly.

"You're still a bit naive, kid. Watch me now."

After Jiang Sheng finished speaking, he looked directly at the somewhat guilty shop owner in front of him and calmly spoke.

"With this configuration, and the graphics card being an old one that was only released two years ago, it's already pretty good to sell it for nine thousand yuan."

"Now you're telling me this computer costs at least 15,000? You might as well just go out on the street and fool some clueless idiot who's passing by and doesn't know anything!

After Jiang Sheng finished speaking, the shop owner's smile froze.

He really didn't expect that he would finally get a business deal today, only to find that he had really fooled the wrong person and met an expert!

"this……"

The shop owner spoke somewhat awkwardly, about to apologize, when a youthful and beautiful voice came from the doorway.

"Boss, what kinds of computers do you have? Could you tell me about them?"

As soon as the sound rang out, Jiang Sheng and Zhao Defu looked in the direction of the gaze.

When they saw the slender and youthful figure standing at the door, they all widened their eyes in surprise.

"How could it be her?"

Zhao Defu glanced at the girl at the door with surprise, then subconsciously turned his gaze to Jiang Sheng, and whispered, "Why is she here to buy a computer too?"
