Two Hundred and Sixty-Eight Stores

Standing in the home appliance store, a man who accompanied his fiancee to the shopping mall stared at the Rainbow TV counter covered with discount slogans, widened his eyes and sighed: "My God... Now the TV is only 25 gold coins a piece. Is it on stage? Or is it colored?"

"Yes! Customers! We are very active here, and 25-inch color TVs are now the most popular wedding room items." The sales clerk who sold things was naturally fluent with a smile when he saw a customer coming to the door. introduced.

The recent household appliances are not very easy to sell, not to mention the high price, the problem is that the speed of elimination is quite fast.

You know, it's still only Naru here, and the TV tower signal station is still being used - Sirius heard that it has already been transmitted by cable, and the signal is stable, and there are still more channels to choose.

Technological updates are too frequent for Ireland Hill, rural farmers may not have heard of radios, and the first color television sets purchased by rich families in the city are beginning to become obsolete.

Yes, out of date! The 19-inch TV has just been on the market for a month, and the 25-inch TV has already become popular. Black and white TVs have not been used for a long time, and color TVs are already cheap to 25 gold coins.

What is even more frightening is that the speed of this kind of replacement has no intention of stopping at all.

It's hard for the salespeople in these shopping malls. They have just figured out what a TV is, and they have to deal with more advanced and fancy styles.

Rainbow brand TV has just launched a new 25-inch "super-screen" series of TVs, and the Duomei brand TV over there has come up with flat-screen display technology. The screens of several TV factories are getting bigger and bigger, and now you can buy 40-inch flat-screen TVs.

Therefore, in Ireland Hill, discounts and promotions are carried out every day. The poor can pick up cheap black and white TVs and watch wonderful TV programs. The nobles can also use such consumption to prove their worth.

Because of the state of war, steel is a controlled material, and the casings of TV sets are basically made of wood and plastic. A small number of aluminum alloys are used, which is already very luxurious.

"Don't buy it, this thing will be cheaper next month." The boy's fiancee is not pretty, with some small freckles on his face, and the words "will live a long life" are written on his round face.

She is not the kind of girl who is willing to spend money, and she is very considerate of her future husband. After all, this kind of luxury electrical appliances starts to become outdated and depreciated when they are bought home. It is more appropriate to wait until after marriage to add to your new home.

"Sir, if you buy it now, you will also get a nice gift!" The salesperson started to fool the man next to the girl when she saw that the girl was not good at fooling. Her performance this month has not been completed, so she must work hard.

On the other side of the shopping mall, a famous brand in the electrical industry of Ailan Hill, with excellent quality and advanced technology, the only disadvantage is the expensive Symphony brand TV counter. An aristocrat is choosing a new TV for himself.

His villa in Naru City is quite large, and he feels shameful if he doesn't decorate it properly. What's more, the new production line he invested in recently started to operate, and he also felt that he should spend a good amount of money to reward himself.

"How much is the best TV in your place...how much?" The noble followed his butler. He looked elegant, and his mouth revealed a bold taste.

The salesperson of the colorful TV counter is like a person who likes to buy it or not. Generally speaking, people who shop at this counter can tell at a glance whether they buy something or not, and naturally they will not waste their expressions.

The salesman stood up, walked to the nobleman, raised his chin and said, "This is the 50-inch home theater we just delivered the day before yesterday! If you buy this, you can enjoy the thrill of the movie theater at home! "

As he spoke, he pointed to a device under the TV screen, and said, "Do you know what this is? This is the latest video cassette player! You can play recorded movies at home!"

After introducing the function,

The salesman tapped the TV twice with his hands, and proudly said, "This is the latest TV technology! Naturally, the price is not cheap... 5,700 gold coins a piece."

"How much?" No matter how rich and powerful, the nobles couldn't help widening their eyes when they heard the price. You know, 5,700 gold coins, in the early years, was a huge sum of money.

There is a legend that Clark, the prime minister of the Arlantean Empire, was greedy and would cost thousands of gold coins to see him. But that's only a thousand gold coins. The TV in front of me costs a full 5,700 gold coins.

"5,700 gold coins." The salesman sneered and persuaded: "If you think it's too expensive, don't worry, I heard that the latest multi-channel TV will be launched next month, and then this TV will be cheap. , it is estimated that it is about 3,500 gold coins at most."

In the distant place, Serris, which represents the most advanced technology development trend in Ireland Hill, has begun to have this kind of TV, where nobles can watch 40 channels at home, and can also automatically search for up to 52 channels. But the latest technology makes people feel tall.

Anyway, as a TV brand of Symphony, there is no need to worry about selling it. If this person does not buy it, the next real noble will buy it without hesitation and show off his wealth and fashion to his friends around him.

The noble finally got down and fought to the end for his self-esteem. But looking at the price that was not cheap for him, he finally compromised with reality: "Forget it! It's so expensive, I don't want it! I'll buy it again next month, and I can save a lot of money!"

Face is small, wallet is big. People had to bow their heads under the eaves, and the nobleman sighed and walked towards the TV counter of another brand with his hands behind his back.

The salesman was not surprised, and turned around to greet another pair of ladies who were visiting the colorful TV. In his opinion, this pair of ladies seemed willing to spend money, and it was worthy of his enthusiasm.

Behind him, at the counter of the far-flung Rainbow TV, the waitress was still selling a slow-selling 25-inch color TV with a pair of lovers in front of him.

"Sir! 20 gold coins is already very cheap. I used my personal relationship to give you the discount you want!" The waitress persuaded earnestly. She had been talking for almost 10 minutes, and the other party still didn't seem to want to pay.

This forced her to come up with a trump card, so she persuaded and praised the man at the same time, inspiring the other person's self-esteem: "Now that you are at your age, you have not been approached by the recruitment office, which means that you are also capable, 20 people. Gold coins don't sound cheap, but you must be doing a good job, and earning these 20 gold coins must not be difficult!"

This sentence scratched the man's itch: he has a very good job and is a promising engineer in the research institute. Part of Alan Hill's next-generation fighter is the result that he has verified by assisting his teacher.

Precisely because of the importance of his work, Alan Hill was a lucky ex-military during several drafts.

In such a time of war, it is obviously a very fortunate thing to not have to go to the front to fight.

You must know that in the best hospital in Naru City, there is also an inpatient building, which is specially prepared for the wounded sent back from the front line. I heard that the wounded who can come back are considered lucky, and many people died in the battle directly.

"That's what you said. Actually, I..." The boy wanted to brag about his work and income, but he felt a sharp pain in his waist. His fiancée obviously didn't want to let him be so fascinated again, so she pinched his waist with her fingers.

The boy was in pain and immediately woke up. Discarded the desire for impulse shopping, and left in a hurry with his fiancee.

Seeing her customer leave again, the waitress sighed. She looked at the lively scene at the colorful TV counter with some envy, and shook her head helplessly.

This is her 30th guest today, but she hasn't sold a TV yet... With such a dismal performance, her bonus this month is estimated to be in vain.

"Don't sigh..." The salesperson of Colorful TV stood behind the saleswoman at some point and handed over a steaming glass of milk: "It's really not easy to do our job now. But don't be discouraged. , just come on."

The saleswoman took the milk handed over by the other party, and showed a moved expression: "I am not as lucky as you, I can sell at least one colorful one day... Who doesn't know that you are the sales champion, and one TV is less. Said to be able to commission dozens of gold coins!"

"It's okay." The man shrugged his shoulders and said, "You know, I just entered the business early and I've been selling colorful TVs all the time, so I'm familiar with the routines."

"I really hope I can also sell dazzling colors... I heard that it is super easy to sell." The girl sighed with admiration.

"I'll give you my position!" The boy answered naturally: "I will talk to the supervisor this afternoon and give you my position. He will agree. I have a good personal relationship with him. We have played since childhood. To the big brother!"

"Then, what are you going to do?" The girl stared at the boy with wide eyes, and blushed for a long time before she asked such a question.

"Me?" The boy showed a wry smile, took out a beautiful card from his pocket, and on it was a semi-three-dimensional tank that was pressed out: "The mobilization order was sent in the morning, and I will arrive at the first place tomorrow. The 201st Armored Division has reported..."

"Ah?" The girl froze on the spot, not knowing what to say.

The boy was very open-minded, and smiled with a row of teeth: "Nice to meet you. Goodbye."

"Goodbye...Thank you." The girl held the milk, looking down and couldn't see her expression clearly.
