A cheap business empire starting from mobile phones

Chapter 14 Mobile Mall
It's quite interesting. It's 2015. To buy a mobile phone, you need to go to a special mobile phone store to buy it, not online shopping.

Of course, online shopping can also buy mobile phones.

There is no guarantee that you can buy a mobile phone with AA batteries, click the power button to actually turn it into a razor, or simply take off your head and fly out of a spinning top.

After getting off the bus, Lin Shuxian and Yang Feiyan went to the ATM to withdraw money—it was a bit uncomfortable, as you need to withdraw 2 yuan to buy a smartphone, which is the same as going to some places to buy a wife.

Before entering the ATM, Yang Feiyan turned to look at Lin Shu, and asked again: "Boss, do I really need to transfer the rest of the money to you?"

"No need." Lin Shu smiled softly, "It's safer to let you go."

"I'm not safe here." Yang Feiyan murmured, raised her head and said, "What if I lose it?"

She can't afford to lose it.

"Relax, I lost it all, and there is nothing I can do with you. If you are worried, I can write you a letter of guarantee." I, Lin Shu, hereby promise that if the money placed in Yang Feiyan is accidentally lost, it will never be lost. Find Yang Feiyan to claim compensation'."

"Okay." Yang Feiyan went in.

Lin Shu waited for her to withdraw the money, and the two walked into this nationwide chain of electronic stores called 'Shengxin'.

The commercial city has three floors. The first floor is the mobile phone store, and the second and third floors are home appliance stores. You don’t need to buy anything else, just go directly to the mobile phone store.

As soon as I walked to the mobile phone store, a young shopping guide lady came up to me immediately: "Sir, miss, do you want to buy a mobile phone? What type of mobile phone do you want to buy, smart phone or non-smart phone?"

Lin Shu observed the store. It was very large and divided into more than a dozen sections. Different types of mobile phones were placed in each section. In order to reduce trouble, he nodded and said, "Smartphones."

"Okay, you come with me." The shopping guide lady smiled brightly for a few minutes, leading the way, and asked: "Do you want to buy domestic products or foreign ones? Do you have a favorite brand?"

Lin Shu pretended not to understand: "Is there any difference?"

The shopping guide lady replied: "Domestic products will be cheaper, and foreign ones are more expensive, but they are more usable."

"Easier to use? Where exactly is it useful?"

"Uh~" The shopping guide seemed to be stumped by this question. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "It looks good! The brand is good! The screen is big! It's smoother to use! Foreign brands are easy to use."

"Oh." Lin Shu didn't ask any further questions, and said, "Let's take a look."

"Okay, I'll take you to a big foreign brand first." The shopping guide took Lin Shuxian to Sanxin District, picked up a mobile phone, and introduced: "This is a new phone released by Sanxin in October last year, Galax S5 Plus, it’s a new phone released by Sanxin last October, the latest model, the white body is so beautiful and the screen is so big, it’s a full screen, very suitable for young people like you.”

Lin Shu took a look. On the top was a large white bangs, which were equipped with a front-facing camera, speaker and earpiece. Underneath was also a large body with three buttons. The screen-to-body ratio on the front of the body was 8/10. very fat.
Is this also known as a full screen?

"You can try it." The shopping guide lady handed over the phone and said.

There was no price nearby, so Lin Shu didn't answer, but asked, "How much?"

"Not expensive, [-]!"

"Ah!" Yang Feiyan, who was next to her, yelled in surprise, and stopped moving forward to answer the phone.

"Oh, it's not expensive." Lin Shu's tone was flat, but in his heart he said: It's not expensive, it's ridiculously expensive.

The shopping guide's eyes lit up again, seeing that the [-] commission was about to be received, she could hear the joy in her voice: "Sir, do you want to buy it? We can issue an invoice."

"No rush." ​​Lin Shu took the phone and asked casually, "What about the configuration? What kind of processor does it use?"

"Uh~" This question was asked again to the shopping guide lady, and the shopping guide lady hesitated to answer: "Large screen, full screen, high-definition camera, battery can last for a long time... processor, processor... oh, look, our mobile phone supports dual SIM card dual standby, or 4G network, the body is very thin, our high-end machine series sells very well, and it is Sanxin, a big brand, a big international brand.”

"Okay, I'll see for myself."

林漱不听后面废话，点开系统设置，在型号上找到了配置——高通骁龙805处理器、安卓4.4、支持4G、5.1英寸1080P分辨率触控屏、2G内存、16G存储容量……并没有什么特别科技，很正常的一部手机。

How dare you sell such a junk phone for [-]?
Regardless of configuration or cost performance, this appearance is not worth nearly 3 yuan at all.

The brand premium is too high.

Lin Shu quickly put down the phone, fearing that it might explode, and said, "Take us to see something else."

"Okay." The shopping guide lady's enthusiasm has weakened a lot.

I went to several other foreign brands, basically the same, with similar configurations, the price is generally more than [-], but there are very few, or none at all, with more than [-]. Only Sanxin and Apple have more than [-] mobile phones.

After shopping for so long, the two customers just looked around but didn’t buy. The shopping guide lady had completely lost her patience, and finally said: “This is the domestic area, and the low-end phones are here. The price ranges from 4000 to 8000. Better brands Meixiang and Guoguang are worth 1000, and you are so pursuing configuration and cost performance, I think this semi-smart phone is more suitable for you, and the price is only more than [-]."

Without waiting for Lin Shu to reply, the shopping guide lady left directly.

Lin Shu understood almost everything, thanked her, then turned to Yang Feiyan and said, "Feiyan, which one do you like?"

"Hey! Ask me?" Yang Feiyan asked in surprise, why did you ask me which one I like? Did you ask me to help you choose?
"Yes." Lin Shu confirmed, "Today I'm buying you a mobile phone."

"Give it to me, isn't it the boss, are you buying a mobile phone?"

"No, I always buy it for you."

He is used to using mobile phones with no physical home button and a 90.00% nine-screen ratio, but he is not used to using these old products.

The more you look at it, the more awkward it becomes.

Instead of letting yourself adapt, it is better to wait for your first mobile phone to leave the factory before changing it.

Yang Feiyan thought that there was only 30 in the company's account, and shook her head: "No need, boss, this mobile phone is very expensive, there is no need to spend money on it, our company does not have much money."

"It's a necessary expense."

Regardless of researching the current development of the mobile Internet or the smartphone market, you need a smartphone by your side, Lin Shu said with a smile: "Don't refuse, I won't use it for you right away, but I will use it for a few days to study something , and then I will use it for you, and it will be considered as a benefit from the company."

"Okay!" Yang Feiyan didn't hesitate anymore.

"Then which one do you prefer, Feiyan? Don't worry about the price, we have 30."

'30 is not used here either! ’ Yang Feiyan felt something was wrong in her heart, and said on the surface: "I can do anything."

Lin Shu acted as a tour guide to introduce her to her because she was embarrassed.

"When choosing a mobile phone, first look at the configuration. You get what you pay for. Some mobile phones are expensive, but they are not worth the price. Seriously, the mobile phone brands in this mobile phone city have too much premium, and they don't deserve their price at all."

"Especially those foreign brands. I searched and found that the price in foreign countries is only half of that in China. It is basically an IQ tax. Therefore, when choosing a mobile phone, we choose domestic ones."

"The domestically produced ones are random, a bunch of salted fish and rotten shrimps. Compared with the mobile phones that our company wants to produce, they are like the difference between a swan and a toad. You can buy it, Feiyan, what do you think of this Meipai mobile phone? It has a beauty function, and it is pink. It is very good for selfies, and it suits you very much. You seem to like pink very much."

"It's... good." Yang Feiyan originally slandered Lin Shu for saying a bunch of terms, such as cost-effectiveness and configuration. She didn't know what it was. She thought she was going to recommend her a mobile phone like a brick, but Lin Shu said nothing. After turning around, she picked up a mobile phone with cherry blossom pink, and she fell in love with it just by looking at the appearance.

"Okay, that's it."

Lin Shu didn't hesitate at all, and called the shopping guide to get a new one to pay for.

"The total is 1. Do you want cash or credit card." The cashier lady said with a professional smile.

"Cash, Feiyan pays." Lin Shu faced Yang Feiyan.

Yang Feiyan frowned slightly. This 1 is equal to her three-year tuition fee. Is it really worth buying a mobile phone?
Even if you buy it, you have to replace it after three years.

Not worth it at all, it's just too expensive.

Seeing that she hadn't acted, Lin Shu said, "Fei Yan, the money must be spent wisely, and the expenses are all in the plan."

Whether he wants to study the mobile Internet or needs a current mobile phone for comparison, he needs to buy a mobile phone. This is an urgent need.

It's not a waste, and in his 30 expenditure plan, giving it to Yang Feiyan can only be said to be incidental.

"Okay." Yang Feiyan paid the money obediently.

After receiving the receipt and the mobile phone, Lin Shu handed the mobile phone to Yang Feiyan: "No, it's yours."

"Thank you." Yang Feiyan lowered her head and said softly, feeling a little bouncing in her heart.

However, Yang Feiyan immediately calmed down again - she suddenly realized that this was very similar to the boss buying gifts for Xiaosan, and she was Xiaosan.

When going out, Yang Feiyan asked Lin Shu: "Boss, where shall we go next?"

Lin Shu said without hesitation: "Back to school, you need to help me collect information on mobile phone manufacturers, and I have other things to do."

"Understood."

Yang Feiyan nodded, and the two of them took the bus back to school again.
