Server SkyVids Link 165 Version 165
Although Chris was very disappointed, his professionalism still forced him to keep a smile and not let his foul words come out of his mouth, but he was sure that after Hugo left, he would definitely have a good time with his colleagues Complain about it: I have earned so much recently, and I am still stingy with such a small amount of money to equip myself with a pager!
"Forget the pager, I want to see the phone." Hugo's next words brought Chris back from hell to heaven, "Uh, what do you want to call it, a cell phone? A cell 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 statement 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, and several other clerks in the store who had no customers immediately envied them. Looking at Chris, I began to regret that I didn't greet him at the first time. This was really a mistake!
"I just went to see 'The Hero of the Sea' last week. My wife, Marianne, and I both liked it very much. It was really wonderful." Said that they may not be able to sell a mobile phone in two or three months, and now they can sell a mobile phone, not only the commission is very considerable, but also plays a vital role in their promotion within the company. Chris suddenly felt that this year's Christmas may have a good memory.
"Really? That's great." Hugo also looked back with a smile. Although there were still light dark circles under his eyes, Hugo's smile was always warm like sunshine, making people unable to help themselves. Get up quickly.
Looking at Hugo like this, Joseph could only breathe a long sigh of relief, and his tangled eyebrows completely relaxed. Since he decided to buy bricks, let's buy them! In the past year, Hugo has also worked really hard, and it is time to reward himself.
When I walked to the glass counter, the picture displayed in front of Hugo this time was spectacular. A row of mobile phones were neatly arranged in front of me, from large to small. The smallest phone on the right is also about the size of a palm.
"This TAC model (Micro. TAC. Ultra-Lite) was just developed this year," Chris said, pointing to the phone on the far right. "It's also the smallest and lightest mobile phone in the world."
Joseph looked at the mobile phone Chris pointed at, and was a little 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 already very small. No wonder Hugo started I plan to buy such a mobile phone, because it is more convenient to carry. I just don't know how the communication quality is, because the previous big brick calls have always been unsatisfactory, which is also an important reason why people prefer to choose landlines.
It's not unusual for Hugo to look at the TAC on the right, because he has seen more smaller and lighter phones, but Hugo is more interested in the bricks on the left, "Hey, you can hand me that one. Have a look?"
Chris didn't know what Hugo's plan was, but he still took out the big brick on the left and handed it to Hugo. When Hugo took it over, he found that it was much heavier than he thought, "How much is this?"
"Two pounds." Chris introduced, and Hugo's eyes widened immediately. Two pounds would be almost a kilogram, which is much heavier than a brick. Can be used as a heavy weapon. Imagine carrying a big man of nearly one kilogram on your body, where is this convenient, it is simply physical exercise.
"This is a 1G phone, which can be used for one hour and charged for ten hours. The original price is $2,995, but we are doing activities now, and we only need $1,795." Reese quickly introduced that he watched Hugo play with the phone as if he was weighing weapons, as if he saw an interesting toy, which made Chris feel inexplicable joy.
"Wow, one hour." Hugo sighed. In 2014, they had countless complaints about the usage time of smartphones, but imagine that when the mobile phone first came out, it could only be used for one hour after ten hours of charging, then Smartphones have come a long way. "Is the TAC you just mentioned a 2G mobile phone?" Satisfied with curiosity, Hugo turned his attention to a more practical and reliable new mobile phone.
"Yes, this phone has been replaced with a new version of the battery, the charging time is shorter and the use time is longer." Chris immediately gave a positive introduction, Joseph interrupted him and asked "how long can it be used", Chris hesitated Click, "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 I 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 waited until the emergence of smart phones. In fact, 2G mobile phones have very complete functions, including text messages, MMS, wireless positioning, etc. can be used.
"Uh, sorry, can you say it again?" Chris said with a smile, apparently not understanding Hugo's words.
"Text message, I mean," repeated Hugo. However, this is a simple and basic function for Hugo, but it is a daunting task for Joseph and Chris. Chris smiled apologetically, "Sorry, not for the time being."
Joseph even glanced at Hugo directly, "Don't ask too much."
Hugo said he was very helpless. He took the TAC phone into his hand. It was almost half the size of the palm of his hand. In terms of size, it was already very rare and compact, but it was still a little heavier than he thought. "How much?"
"Five.9 ounces, this is the lightest style in the world right now." Chris's answer was full of confidence.
5.9 ounces, almost 167 grams, this weight can be said to be very rare, not to mention compared with those bricks, even compared with many portable mobile phones in the 21st century. Although the function is currently only able to make and receive calls, there is nothing to be picky about.
"Isn't the quality of the answering bad?" Joseph asked hesitantly, "Marty. Cooper said that the distance between the ear and the mouth is very important, but now this design has become smaller, ignore the After this distance, will the quality of the call not be affected?"
Martin Cooper, the inventor of the modern cell phone. The TAC in Hugo's hands is designed with a closed-cover structure. When you open the square cover below the screen, you can see the keyboard, and the microphone is at the top of the square cover. This is also to reduce the size of the mobile phone and keep the distance between the ear and the mouth as much as possible. Methods.
"Rest assured, our phone has been thoroughly tested before it goes to market. This phone has a lot of improvement in call quality than before, and it is our latest and greatest model." Chris explained sincerely, trying to make his words more clear. persuasive.
But for Hugo, it had no effect. When it comes to call quality, he naturally does not expect that the current mobile phone can be compared with the 21st century. In fact, Hugo does not have too many requirements for the efficacy of the mobile phone. The TAC in his hand is smaller and lighter than he imagined, and it is already huge. 's harvest. It seems that 1992 was much more "developed" than expected.
"How much is this mobile phone? And what about the communication company?" Hugo asked uncertainly, what is the current relationship between the mobile phone and the communication company, and whether the mobile phone uses a sim card or a fixed Like the phone and the communication company signed an agreement, Hugo knew nothing about it.
"As long as you buy a mobile phone, we will provide a communication agreement with Ameritech. Scientific. After paying a certain basic fee every month, it will be billed according to the call time. Specifically, we have a list of charges." Chris briefly introduced To, "This phone is a new model that we just launched this year, so the price will be relatively high, it will cost $3,495."
Three thousand four hundred and ninety-five dollars to buy a brick, this price really makes people take a breath, no wonder that mobile phones are a must-have product for the rich, 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 the price will drop quickly, making it as affordable as possible for the middle class.
Although the price is relatively high, Hugo decided to buy it anyway. Earning money is for spending money, and being a miser will never be able to enjoy the joy of life. What's more, life will be much more convenient after having a mobile phone, but this is something that cannot be exchanged for money. If it weren't for the fact that the Internet would not have developed at all - the first friendly interface to connect to the Internet was in 1991 at the University of Minnesota. (Minnesota. University) was developed, and it was a long way from popularization - otherwise Hugo would have been impatient to buy a computer.
"Okay, give me two bricks." Hugo said simply, the smile on Chris' face immediately burst into bloom, and Joseph, who was standing beside him, exclaimed, "Are you crazy?"
These two bricks will cost seven thousand dollars, which is a huge expense for Joseph. He is not mentally prepared at all, "Why did you buy two? This is a waste!"
"I'll buy you a piece, or I'll buy it, who should I contact?" Hugo said naturally, "Oh, by the way, I should also buy a piece for Carl, Alex, and Charlize." The mobile phone exists In addition to making life easier, the meaning is to make the connection between friends easier. Usually, friends mainly rely on landline telephone contact, and the answering machine is the object of more frequent contact, but the mobile phone can omit this step . Therefore, if Hugo alone has a mobile phone and no one can contact him, then the significance of the mobile phone is lost.
"Chris, please give me five bricks." Hugo's words made the smile on Chris' face even brighter. If it didn't sound, it was a blockbuster. I was worried that there would be no business today, but it turned out to be five when it opened. The new TAC, for Chris, life can be said to be about to usher in "earth-shaking" changes.
