Chapter 214 The Video Store
Feng Yu was about to pick out a punched disc in the box if he liked it, when he suddenly heard an exclamation from Li Na.
"What are you doing? I saw it first."
"Whatever you saw first, I get it and it's mine." A young man was showing off to Li Na triumphantly with a CD in his hand.
Feng Yu ran over in three or two steps, opened the young man's hand, and pulled Li Na behind him: "What's going on?"
"I saw that CD first, and he snatched it from me." Li Na said angrily. This person is so unreasonable, she has already got it, how can she snatch it?
Feng Yu stretched out his hand to the young man: "Bring it, first come, first served."
The young man looked Feng Yu up and down, and said with disdain: "Boy, do you know how much this CD costs? This is imported, can you understand English? Do you have a CD player? You guys, go Buy a tape of Wei Wei and listen to it."
At this time, Chinese people were still listening to tapes. Although CDs had entered the country, few people could afford them because the prices were too high. Not to mention the player, the price of a CD alone is as high as dozens of yuan, far exceeding the price of a tape, and many people can't afford it.
But those who couldn't afford it obviously didn't include Feng Yu. In Feng Yu's bag, there is a CD player (made by Sony).
Feng Yu unhurriedly took out the bulky one from his bag. At this time, it is not like the small ones in the later generations, which can be hung on the waist or put in the pocket. Now, if you don’t carry a bag, you don’t have to carry it at all. Inconvenient to carry!
Feng Yu held it up and said to the young man with the same tone: "Boy, do you know what this is? It is an imported product, the latest model that my friend brought me back from the United States, and it is also the most expensive one! You have a CD player Take it out and let me have a look. Can you understand English? Do you know what it means by reading the lyrics?"
The young man was dumbfounded. The owner of the video store was also dumbfounded. They didn't expect that this young man who looked like a student could actually take out a CD player from his bag!
The young man froze there holding the CD. Feng Yu casually took out another 100-yuan ticket from his bag, and handed it to the owner of the video store: "Boss, I want that CD!"
The boss swiftly snatched the CD from the young man's hand and stuffed it to Feng Yu. This kid's family is really rich, and he even brought a hundred yuan ticket when he went out. His family is not afraid of losing. There are also people who don’t ask the price when buying things, just say they want it, happy!
The expression on the young man's face changed from arrogance to embarrassment, and his face turned red instantly, as if he was going to explode with anger!
Feng Yu said loudly again deliberately: "I will drive you to Daoli to eat delicious food in a while. There is a new Sichuan restaurant there. I heard that a meal costs hundreds of dollars. By the way, are you afraid of spicy food?"
Originally, the young man wanted to go out and find someone to beat Feng Yu, but he heard that Feng Yu came by car. He immediately dismissed the idea.
Those who can drive these days must have very capable families, either with power or money. No matter whether he is powerful or rich, he must be better than his father who sells clothes, so let's bear with it.
The young man left the video store with his head bowed and his face covered. Feng Yu turned his head and cast a smug look at Li Na, wanting to write a few large characters on his face: "I'm amazing, praise me!"
Li Na pursed her lips and smiled, shaking her head slightly. Feng Yu really learned from Wen Dongjun badly, when did he become so showy (dialect,
to show off).
If Feng Yu knew what Li Na was thinking, he would definitely shout in his heart that he was wronged. Although he was showing off on purpose. That is to send a message to the young people that I am not easy to mess with, so as to avoid other troubles. This is completely different from Wen Dongjun's kind of showing off for the sake of showing off!
"Dude, don't you choose these tapes and CDs anymore?" The shop owner saw that Feng Yu was rich and decided to continue selling products. This kid can see that his family has money, and he doesn't know the master who earns money hard. Then why didn't he take the opportunity to scrape off a layer of oil from this kid?
"Forget it, they are all defective products with punched holes. You have a very strong background. These things are all smuggled goods, right?" Feng Yu asked with a smile.
This year, because imported genuine tapes and CDs are too expensive and there are restrictions, the market for punched tapes and discs is very hot.
The price of a disc of this kind is only a few dollars, and at least half of the songs can be listened to. It is very affordable and is very popular among music enthusiasts who cannot afford genuine CDs and tapes.
This hot situation can continue until around 95 years. It's not that the country has opened up restrictions on the import of audio-visual products, but because pirated audio-visual products are so popular. The price of a pirated CD or a box of pirated tapes is less than three-tenths of the genuine ones, and some even reach ten-tenths. One, the price is cheaper than the punch tape, and you can listen to it all, so who will buy the punch tape?
Regardless of whether you want foreign or domestic ones, as long as they sell well, there are pirated ones! The sound quality is not too bad, but the price is much cheaper, which has stimulated the sales of Walkman players.
The perforated tapes are all genuine products. Because the market estimate is too high, they cannot be sold. According to the regulations, the publishing company cannot sell them at a lower price and can only choose to destroy them. Use a machine to punch a hole in the CD or tape, and then some people in China import it in the name of waste plastic, and distribute it to these audio-visual stores after sorting.
This kind of sales in the name of tapes and CDs is actually smuggling, which is why Feng Yu asked.
The owner of the audio-visual store laughed a few times without explaining much, and it was acquiesced.
"Dude, don't you like these punch tapes? I also rent video tapes here, why don't you take a look, as long as it's a movie that was released a year ago, no matter if it's from China, Xiangjiang, Baodao or the United States, I have it all. There are even European ones. You must have a VCR at home, and renting a few VCRs to watch at home is much more interesting than watching TV shows.”
The punch tape can't be sold, and the shop owner has started to sell the video tape rental business. Judging from this posture, he doesn't plan to give Feng Yu any change. He plans to keep the hundred yuan in his pocket!
Feng Yu also felt that the current TV programs are boring, so it is better to rent a few video tapes and go back to watch them. He went over to take a look, not only movies, but also TV series, such as "The Deer and Ding Tale", there are forty-two videotapes.
Li Na is still choosing CDs. Feng Yu has been picking out videotapes here for a long time, but he is still not very interested. He is about to review some classic Xiangjiang gunfight movies. Why don't you go and pick it out, there are better looking ones!"
Feng Yu blinked his eyes and looked at the shopkeeper's lewd expression. He seemed to understand what the shopkeeper said about the better video.
But Feng Yu finally gritted his teeth and refused. It was enough to make him angry by guarding a beautiful woman like Li Na, and watching that kind of videotape would force him to turn into a werewolf!
Besides, even though there is a video recorder at home, if my sister finds out about the video tape, my father will definitely come over from the farm and use a feather duster to educate Feng Yu, a brat who "doesn't do business properly"!
I thought so in my heart, but Feng Yu still stretched out his hand to open the curtain in a strange way.
"Feng Yu, have you finished picking?"
Feng Yu hurriedly withdrew his hand, and took two video tapes casually: "I'm done picking, here I come."
When he walked out of the video store, Feng Yu turned his head and took a deep look, um, I remembered the address... (To be continued.)
