2000, there are quite a few mobile phone brands.
Foreign brands include Nokia, Bird, Ericsson, Motorola, Samsung... Domestic brands include Gionee, ZTE, Tianyu, TCL... Each brand has its own display cabinet, and it looks dazzling.
As for the later mobile phone market, Apple, Warwick, Apple and Blue-Green brands were not even seen at that time.
Chen Fan stood in front of the display cabinets and browsed around casually.
Luo Wenjie asked with a smile: "How is it? Do you want me to recommend it to you?"
Chen Fan shook his head.
"Forget it. I'll just watch it myself."
At this time, Luo Wenjie waved to the cashier not far away.
"Can someone come and take a look?"
The two salesgirls were chatting over there. They glanced over here, pretending not to hear and not to move.
In fact, the two female counter clerks noticed the three people when they first came over.
But after taking a look at the three of them, he immediately determined that they were students.
Just by looking at their clothes, one can tell that these three people have little financial resources.
So the two female receptionists were reluctant to receive him so as to avoid wasting time.
Seeing the two people's attitudes, Luo Wenjie felt a little unhappy.
He was about to go over to argue with him, but was stopped by Chen Fan.
"Forget it. There's no need. Just change the counter."
"They are not professional, so why should we give them money?"
Luo Wenjie thought about it and agreed, so he turned around and followed Chen Fan to the next counter.
This time, a clerk finally came forward to greet us.
"Can you show me that phone?"
Chen Fan pointed through the glass.
The female counter clerk looked a little embarrassed.
"Sir, you can look at it, but we have rules here and you can't press it randomly. Otherwise I will be fined."
Chen Fan smiled and nodded to show that he understood.
The female salesperson then bent down and took out the phone that Chen Zhidong had pointed at from the display cabinet.
As a man who was reborn from 20 or 30 years in the future, Chen Fan is not too interested in these mobile phones.
To be honest, although there are many models of mobile phones nowadays, there is not one that really interests Chen Fan.
This generation of mobile phones can basically be used as a communication tool.
Chen Fan knew that in a few days, all major mobile phone manufacturers would start to launch various classic mobile phones, including flip phones, sliding phones, straight screen phones, rotating screen phones, etc.
However, the real revolutionary event of mobile phones had to wait until 7 years later in 2007, when Steve Jobs released the first generation of Apple smartphones.
From then on, no matter what flip or sliding cover mobile phone you have, it will be crushed by Apple.
Since then, mobile phones have entered the truly intelligent era.
It is almost impossible to buy a smartphone at this time.
So Chen Fan did not choose too carefully, but chose two mobile phones based on style and color.
The one I chose for myself was Nokia 3210, which costs over a thousand yuan.
"That's it."
The counter clerk was stunned for a moment.
"Sir, are you sure you want to buy this phone?"
Chen Fan nodded, "Get me a new one."
"Oh, okay, okay."
The counter girl was somewhat excited.
When I first saw what they were wearing, I thought they were poor students with little purchasing power.
I am here to entertain you out of professional ethics.
Unexpectedly, the young man decided to buy the phone after spending less than two minutes looking at it.
This is a phone that costs over a thousand dollars.
It's higher than my monthly salary.
They didn't even hesitate.
The saleslady came over quickly with a shopping bag.
"Sir, would you like to pay by cash or card?"
"Swipe the card."
Seeing Chen Fan take out a bank card, the female teller breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that he really wants to buy it and is not just kidding himself.
"Please follow me."
As a result, she had just taken two steps when she heard the young man behind her suddenly mutter.
"Wait. I have to buy another one."
"ah?"
The female counter clerk was stunned for a moment, then turned around and found that Chen Fan actually walked back to the counter and began to observe carefully.
After a while, Chen Fan pointed to the glass cabinet.
"Please help me take out this phone and have a look."
The female counter clerk took a quick look and saw a Motorola A6188, which was priced at nearly six thousand yuan.
"Sir, this phone is priced at..."
Chen Fan nodded, "I know, take it out and let me take a look first."
The female clerk originally wanted to remind Chen Fan to pay attention to the price, but she found that he didn't seem to care about the price, and judging from his expression, he didn't look conceited at all.
The counter clerk couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Could it be that I was wrong?
This young man is really a hidden rich second generation.
Chen Fan turned around and asked the two friends next to him while holding his phone.
"What do you think?"
"Very good." Ma Xiaoshuai smiled and joked: "Even if it's not good, the price is definitely good."
"So weird." Luo Wenjie first complained about Ma Xiaoshuai, and then looked at Chen Fan.
"Brother Fan, I don't think you would do that."
"You're giving your girlfriend a gift and you're paying 6,000. This is raising the cost of picking up girls. What should we do if we have no looks and no money but can only be sweet and gentle and know how to deal with girls?"
"Get lost!"
Chen Fan laughed and scolded, "What does it have to do with me if you guys pick up girls?"
After saying that, he looked up at the counter clerk beside him.
"Let's take this one. Please help me get a silver-white one. I'll pay with my credit card."
The counter clerk finally responded.
"Oh... ok, please wait a moment."
Before turning around, he did not forget to take a special look at Chen Fan.
It turns out that this young man bought his second mobile phone for his girlfriend.
The phone I bought for myself cost just over a thousand dollars, but the one I gave to my girlfriend was more than a thousand dollars.
At this moment, the counter clerk couldn't help but feel a little jealous of the unknown girl.
I paid by credit card at the checkout counter and took the shopping bag from the saleswoman.
Chen Fan turned around and smiled at the two people beside him.
"Let's go back."
"Shit. Are we going back now?"
Ma Xiaoshuai complained, "You called us here early in the morning, and I even let you be your free driver and accompany you shopping and buying a mobile phone."
"You should at least treat us to a nice dinner, right?"
Luo Wenjie also echoed.
"That makes sense. I don't have high requirements. A four-star hotel will do."
Chen Fan urged.
"What are you eating? Let's go back quickly."
"I have something else to do. If you two are hungry, I'll give you ten dollars and you can buy a roasted sweet potato at the school gate. It'll be enough for you to lick all the way back to school."
"Listen to me, listen to me, is this still human speech?"
Ma Xiaoshuai was speechless, but was dragged downstairs by Chen Fan.
Taking the bus back to campus, Chen Fanduan left the two friends behind and went straight to the girls' dormitory with the shopping bag.
I called Su Ruochu's dormitory downstairs using the dormitory manager's landline.
Su Ruochu happened to be in the bedroom and was very excited when he heard Chen Fan's voice.
"I'll be right down."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fan thanked the dormitory manager.
A man was standing at the door waiting.
After a while, Su Ruochu ran out of the dormitory building quickly.
"What brings you here?"
Su Ruchu ran to Chen Fan with a smile.
"Didn't you say you were going shopping with your roommates today?"
Chen Fan shook the shopping bag in his hand.
"I bought it back."
He handed the shopping bag over.
"Here's a present for you."
Su Ruochu looked down and asked curiously.
"What is this?"
"Just open it and take a look."
Su Ruchu took the shopping bag curiously, opened it gently, and was stunned.
"This...is this a cell phone?"
He looked up at Chen Fan with surprise.
"Did you buy this?"
