Turning around suddenly, he saw a little beauty standing there looking silly and happy behind him.
Classmate Gu Xiaomi.
As the name suggests, he is not tall and has a small and exquisite appearance. He only has a pair of big eyes on his childish face, which shine like grapes as if he can talk. There are a few drops of sweat hanging on the tip of his small nose. When he smiles, his face has two big eyes. The dimples are quite cute.
"Why are you here?" The two people said at the same time, then they were stunned for a moment and then laughed at the same time.
"I want to install a computer." Gu Xiaomi raised her hand and waved a configuration sheet in her hand.
"I'm looking for some books." Xie Zhenhua raised his hand and raised the two books in his hand.
The two people spoke almost at the same time.
Next to him, another voice as clear as a silver bell sounded: "I have long said that you two must be having an affair! Xie Zhenhua, did you not see anyone else in your eyes when you saw our Xiaomi?!"
A tall beauty stood aside, staring at Xie Zhenhua with a narrow face, but she turned out to be the class president Guan Yaxin.
Xie Zhenhua reacted quickly: "Hey, big boss, I've seen you a long time ago, so what, why didn't Sun Ying come?"
Guan Yaxin, Sun Ying, and Gu Xiaomi are considered the three golden flowers among girls, and they are usually inseparable. When Xie Zhenhua saw Sun Ying's absence, he immediately changed the topic to her.
The outspoken Guan Yaxin immediately replied: "Yingying went to Beidaihe Beach with her family and won't be back for two days. By the way, we have made an appointment to go for an outing to Gougezhuang Juma River next Friday. The summer vacation is already halfway over. What's the point? I haven’t gone out to play before, are you and Wang Hongyu going? By the way, there’s Yao Yuan, you can also ask?”
Xie Zhenhua had a bad smile on his face: "Monitor Guan Da, do you want to date me and Yao Yuan'er? Or do you want to date Wang Hongyu?"
"You're going to die! What are you talking about! Our Xiaomi will definitely go anyway, it's up to you whether you want to go or not!" Guan Yaxin's eyes stood up when someone saw through her thoughts.
After the summer vacation, the three classmates didn't see each other for a while, so they talked a little bit secretly, but the stall owner behind them stopped: "Hey! I asked you whether you want to buy something or not. If you don't buy something, let's chat. You guys put this aside. It affects my business!”
Xie Zhenhua was not annoyed and threw the two books in his hands on the counter: "Just these two books, check out!"
The stall owner had a smile on his face: "One book is five yuan, one book is eight yuan, you give me thirteen in total."
Xie Zhenhua opened his mouth and said, "Don't make trouble, don't think that I don't know that these books of yours are second-hand."
The stall owner pouted: "Even second-hand ones are imported from abroad. At this price, you can buy it or not!"
Two second-hand books can be sold for 13 yuan. No wonder Yao Yuan'er said that money from computers is the best way to make money.
Xie Zhenhua didn't make any fuss and kept smiling: "Brother, I'm from the resource building next to me. I get goods for customers. I forgot to tell you that counter 004 downstairs belongs to us."
The stall owner looked Xie Zhenhua up and down. Xie Zhenhua rushed over immediately after leaving the stall in the morning. His clothes were soaked with sweat, his hair was permed with floral curls, and his face looked very tired. She looks like a young man hired by a nearby company.
He stopped talking nonsense and directly handed over a ledger: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier, give me seven yuan and make a note!"
Xie Zhenhua's true and false words directly reduced the price of the stall owner from thirteen yuan to seven yuan, but he seemed not satisfied yet. He took out his pocket and said: "Brother, this time I will give you the cash, you can give me more Give me a piece so I can treat these two beauties to a popsicle."
The stall owner was so angry: "You grandson, if I give you another piece, I will lose the money. You want me to help you treat two beauties to eat popsicles? If I give you another fifty cents cheaper, do you want it?" "
Xie Zhenhua happily took out six and a half yuan, handed over the money to get the book, and then waved to the two female classmates: "Let's go! Come downstairs with me, I'll treat you two to some popsicles!"
Xie Zhenhua's bargaining made Guan Yaxin and Gu Xiaomi dizzy. Why did the stall owner ask for thirteen dollars, but ended up getting it for six and a half, which was half the price. Why is this high-tech electronics market a bit like wholesale? People who sell clothes in the market have to cut the price even though they’re bargaining?
In the shade of a tree at the entrance of the electronics market, three people stood in front of a popsicle cart.
A cream popsicle was handed into Guan Yaxin's hand, and a red bean popsicle was handed into Gu Xiaomi's hand. Xie Zhenhua bit into the cheapest big red fruit popsicle, and then started to answer the two people's questions slowly and with a stern expression on his face.
"Look over there, over there is the south wall of Yanda. There are various computer companies on the three floors. The companies that can rent space there are slightly larger. They all purchase goods from this electronic market. , in this electronic market, if you want to do bulk wholesale, you point to these companies to get goods, so if I say it is a company in the resource building, you will definitely get a preferential price."
"Then what does he mean by asking you to make a note?" Gu Xiaomi asked, with an innocent look on his face.
"You don't understand writing an IOU? It just means taking the things and writing an IOU, and you can settle the bill together later. Of course, most companies will wait for a while before settling the bill, so these stalls prefer to pay in cash. Usually they will give you a little discount." Xie Zhenhua answered vaguely while holding the big red fruit.
Guan Yaxin couldn't stand his arrogant look: "Hey, to put it bluntly, he's just deceiving other stall owners. It's like going to the zoo clothing market to buy something. As long as he says to get the goods, he will give you the wholesale price."
"Come on! Why don't you try it with someone else? Maybe you'll be beaten out. I'm trying to save my computer. I've been hanging out in Xinzhongguan for several days. All these stall owners look familiar to me. get!"
Only then did Xie Zhenhua tell the key to the problem. Don't underestimate the small stalls of four square meters in the market. The daily turnover of each stall can reach tens of thousands. Even when business is good, it is not uncommon for the sales to exceed one hundred thousand a day. .
Small stalls, big flowing water, those stall owners have been trained for a long time, and they are as shrewd as monkeys. How can a small trick deceive them?
Only a person with Xie Zhenhua's image, who often walks in the market and has become familiar with him, and who has a thick skin and can tell lies without changing his face or heart, can do this.
After almost finishing a popsicle, Xie Zhenhua remembered to ask two female classmates about the purpose of coming here. Under normal circumstances, girls have little interest in these electronic components. Coupled with the noisy environment here, it made them even more uncomfortable. The appearance is a bit strange.
"Here! I also want to buy a computer. Can you help me see what the configuration is like?" At this time, Gu Xiaomi trusted Xie Zhenhua.
CPU: 486 66 2850.00
Motherboard: Maga486 PCI 1660.00
Memory: 4M edo 1600.00
Hard drive: 120M Quantum 1550.00
Graphics card: S3 PCI 830.00
Decompression card: Shadowmaster 2000 sound card two-in-one 750.00
Floppy drive: Sony5.25 350.00
Sony1.44 280.00
Optical drive: Pioneer double speed VCD 880.00
Monitor: Sony 14-inch color display 2880.00
Total price: 13630.00
Installation and commissioning fee: 1360.00
Looking at this configuration list, Xie Zhenhua felt a little emotional. Computer accessories really don’t retain their value. This configuration is almost the same as that of his own computer. However, it has only been more than half a year since he saved the computer, and the price has already dropped by three cents. One part!
After studying for a long time, Xie Zhenhua raised his head: "This configuration is good. It must be recommended to you by someone knowledgeable, right?"
Gu Xiaomi felt affirmed and smiled a little sweetly: "Yes, it was recommended by my father's student, who majored in computer science at university."
Xie Zhenhua gave Gu Xiaomi a dumbfounded look, and felt a little uncomfortable hearing praise from her: "Come on, I'm a computer major. This configuration is unreasonable. I advise you to change it. First of all, the CPU, 66 clock speed Although the CPU is high enough, did you know that there are already 80 clock speeds? And the prices are almost the same. Since you have spent money, you should try to make the CPU clock speed higher. Also, now it has It's the 1940s, 1980s, and 1960s. Why do you still have big floppy drives? The latest research report says that 5.25 floppy drives will soon be eliminated. Although big floppy drives look cheap, they won't be used soon after you buy them. It's better to use these. The money is spent on speakers. You are equipped with such a good hard decompression card. In the future, you can enjoy music and watch movies. Every good speaker is not enough. You don’t even mention speakers in this configuration.”
Xie Zhenhua's little knowledge of computer hardware finally came into use, and it was in front of his most beloved Gu Xiaomi, so he went on and on.
It sounds like something like that. At least in front of two computer-illiterate girls, Xie Zhenhua seems to be a computer expert at this time.
"What's more! This price is wrong. How did you get this price? It's generally too high. If I help you get the goods, I can save you at least one or two thousand yuan!" Xie Zhenhua finally said it. The point is.
Obviously, the price in Gu Xiaomi's hand was the quotation given by the merchant after they inquired one by one, but it was just a quotation. With Xie Zhenhua's familiarity with the electronics market, he believed that if he made the move, it would definitely not be at this price. At least the 10% installation and commissioning fee for the last item can be saved.
Guan Yaxin had a relaxed expression on her face after hearing this. She had already been annoyed by Xiaomi walking around the market. She had exhausted all her patience in the morning. The Xie Zhenhua in front of her was just a ready-made labor force that she had gathered by herself. ? And he claims to be an expert, so it’s all for nothing!
"Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and help my Xiaomi get this computer? The sooner the better! But can you do the installation and debugging?"
"Is that okay? You can remove the word 'm'! We men can definitely do it! I'm not bragging to you two, but at least half of the technicians in this electronics market are not as skilled as me!" Xie Zhenhua's bold words were direct. It was released.
Boys of this age always like to express themselves when they meet beautiful girls, and they always like to talk a lot. Since they like to express themselves, Xie Zhenhua had to install Gu Xiaomi's computer.
On a hot day, when you are crowded into the computer market to buy goods, you need to fight wits and courage with the stall owners. While ensuring that you can get genuine goods, you also have to get a good price. This is not only mental work, but also physical work. .
However, Xie Zhenhua obviously enjoys being able to work hard for Xiaomi...
