Chapter 165: 2 bricks

Although Chris was very disappointed, his professionalism still forced him to keep a smile and prevent his vulgar words from coming out of his mouth, but he can be sure that after Hugo leaves, he will definitely have a good time with his colleagues. I complained: I have earned so much recently, so I am stingy with such a small amount of money to equip myself with a pager!

"Never mind the pager, I want to look at the phone." Hugo's next words immediately brought Chris back to heaven from hell, "Uh, or what do you call it, mobile phone? Portable phone? Anyway, I want to see it. Look at the bricks." Hugo's puzzled eyes moved back and forth between Joseph and Chris, trying to make his expression clearer.

"Of course, of course." Chris said repeatedly, "Please follow me in this direction." Chris stretched out his right hand and made an inviting gesture. The other shop assistants who had no customers were immediately envious. Looking at Chris, I started to regret that I didn't have the first time to greet him. This is really a mistake!

"I just went to see'Yihai Xiongfeng' last week. My wife Marian and I like it very much. It's really too beautiful." Chris' smile returned to his face again, compared to As far as pagers are concerned, they may not be able to sell a mobile phone in two or three months. Now they can sell a mobile phone, which is not only a very good deal, but also crucial for their promotion within the company. Important role. Chris suddenly felt that this Christmas might have a good memory.

"Really? That's great." Hugo also looked back with a smile, although there are still shallow dark circles under his eyes, but Hugo's smile always carries the warmth of the sun, which makes people involuntary. Just get up briskly.

Joseph looked at such a Hugo, he could only breathe a long sigh of relief, and his tangled eyebrows completely relaxed. Now that he has decided to buy a brick, let's buy it! In the past year, Hugo has really worked hard, and it's time to reward himself.

Walking to the glass counter, the picture displayed in front of Hugo this time is magnificent. A row of mobile phones from big to small are neatly arranged in front of you. The phone on the far left looks as big as a forearm. The smallest phone on the right is about the size of a palm.

&. . "Ultra-) was just developed this year," Chris pointed to the phone on the far right and began to introduce, "This is also the smallest and lightest mobile phone in the world. "

Joseph looked at the mobile phone that Chris was pointing at. He was quite surprised. He remembered that the current mobile phones were always the big ones on the left. In comparison, the four phones on the far right were very small. No wonder Hugo started. I plan to buy such a mobile phone, because it is relatively convenient to carry. I just don't know how the communication quality is, because the previous big brick calls have been unsatisfactory. This is also an important reason why people prefer to choose fixed phones.

It’s not surprising that Hugo looked at the one on the right, because he had seen more smaller and lighter phones, but Hugo was more interested in the bricks on the left, "Hey, you can pass that one to me. see?"

Chris didn't know what Hugo was planning, but he took out the big brick on the left and handed it to Hugo. Hugo only took it, and found that he was much heavier than he thought, "How heavy is this?"

"Two pounds." Chris introduced. Hugo's eyes widened. For two pounds, it would be almost one kilogram, which is much heavier than a brick. No wonder people say that the previous mobile phones are all It can be used as a heavy weapon. Imagine that with a large body of nearly one kilogram on your body, where is this convenient, it is simply physical exercise.

"This is a 1g mobile phone. It can be used for one hour and charged for ten hours. The original price was US$2,995, but we are doing activities now, and it only costs US$1,795." Reese quickly introduced that he watched Hugo play with his cell phone as if he was weighing a weapon, as if he saw an interesting toy, which gave Chris an inexplicable sense of joy.

"Wow, one hour." Hugo sighed. In 2014, they had countless complaints about the use time of their smartphones. But imagine that when the mobile phone first came out, it only took one hour to charge for ten hours. Then Smart phones have already been developed by leaps and bounds. "Are you talking about a 2g mobile phone?" After satisfying his curiosity, Hugo turned his attention to a new, more practical and reliable mobile phone.

"Yes, this phone has a new version of the battery, the charging time is shorter, and the use time is longer." Chris immediately started the introduction actively, Joseph interrupted him and asked "how long can it be used", Chris hesitated "There is no exact time yet, but three hours should be no problem. In addition, the ringtone of this phone has also been updated, and the screen has also been upgraded..."

"Can you send text messages?" Hugo interrupted Chris's words. 2g mobile phones will be the main force in the mobile phone market in the future, and then wait until the emergence of smart phones. In fact, 2g mobile phones have very complete functions, including text messages, MMS, wireless positioning, etc. can all be used.

"Uh, sorry, can you say it again?" Chris said with a smile, obviously not understanding Hugo's words.

"Text message, I mean." Hugo repeated. However, this was a basic function that couldn't be simpler for Hugo. It was a difficult task to listen to Joseph and Chris' ears. Chris ‘showed’ an apologetic smile and said, "Sorry, not for the time being."

Joseph even glanced at Hugo directly, "Don't ask too much."

Hugo said he was helpless. He took this phone in his hand, almost as big as half a palm. In terms of size, it was already very small and rare, but it was still a bit heavier than expected, "How much?"

"5.9 ounces, this is currently the world's lightest style." Chris answered with confidence.

5.9 ounces, which is almost 167 grams. This weight can be said to be very rare, not to mention comparing with those bricks, even compared with many portable mobile phones in the 21st century. ', although in terms of function, you can only make and receive calls, but there is nothing to be picky about.

"Will the answering quality be bad?" Joseph asked hesitantly, "Marty Cooper (marty.) said that the distance between the ear and the mouth is very important, but now this design has become smaller and ignored. Will the quality of the call be affected during this distance?"

Martin Cooper, the inventor of the modern mobile phone. The one in Hugo's hand is a closed cover structure. Open the square cover at the bottom of the screen to see the keyboard, and the microphone is at the top of the square cover. This is to reduce the size of the phone while keeping the distance between the ears and the mouth as much as possible. method.

"Rest assured, our mobile phone has been tested in detail before it goes on the market. The call quality of this mobile phone has been improved a lot, and it is our latest and best style." Chris explained sincerely, striving to make his own words better. persuasive.

But for Hugo, it has no effect. When it comes to call quality, he naturally does not expect that the current mobile phones can be compared with the 21st century. In fact, Hugo does not have much requirements for the function of mobile phones. This one is smaller and lighter than imagined, and it is already huge. Harvested. It seems that 1992 was much more "developed" than imagined.

"How much is this phone? And what about the communication company?" Hugo asked with some uncertainty, what is the relationship between the current mobile phone and the communication company, and whether the mobile phone uses a card or is like a fixed phone. Like signing an agreement with a communications company, Hugo knows nothing.

"As long as you buy a mobile phone, we will provide a communication agreement with Meritac (.). After paying a certain basic fee every month, we will be billed according to the call time. Specifically, we have a list of charges." Chris briefly introduced, "This phone is a new model that we just launched this year, so the price will be relatively high, and it will cost $3,495."

Buying a brick for $3,495. This price is indeed a breath of sigh. It is no wonder that mobile phones are currently a must-have product for the wealthy, and there is no way to increase the penetration rate. But Hugo also knows that in the next few years, mobile phones will develop rapidly, and prices will drop quickly, making it as affordable as possible for the middle class.

Although the price is relatively high, Hugo decided to buy it. Earning money is meant to ‘spend’ money, and being a miser will never enjoy the happiness of life. What's more, after having a mobile phone, life is indeed much easier, but money cannot be exchanged for it. If it weren’t for the current Internet development, the first friendly interface to connect to the Internet was at the University of Minnesota in 1991. () was developed ~www.readwn.com~ is still a long way from popularization-otherwise Hugo could not wait to buy a computer.

"Yes, give me two bricks." Hugo said simply. The smile on Chris's face immediately bloomed, while Joseph standing next to him exclaimed, "Are you crazy?"

These two bricks cost seven thousand dollars. This is a huge expenditure for Joseph. He has not prepared enough psychologically. "Why did you buy two? This is a waste of money!"

“I’ll buy one for you, or I’ll buy it. Who should I contact?” Hugo said of course, “Oh, yes, I should buy one for Karl, Alex, and Charlize.” The phone exists. In addition to making life easier, the significance is to make the contact between friends easier. Usually, friends mainly rely on fixed telephones for contact. On the contrary, answering machines are more frequently contacted objects, but mobile phones can omit this step. . Therefore, if only Hugo has a mobile phone and no one can contact, then the importance of the mobile phone is lost.

"Chris, please give me five bricks." Hugo's words made the smile on Chris's face even brighter. If he didn't speak, he was already a blockbuster. I was worried that there would be no business today, but when it opened, there would be five. The new style, for Chris, life can be said to be about to usher in a "turbulent" change.
