rebirth of cataclysm

In order to allow Ma Jiahao and the others to have a quiet Spring Festival, Hu Mingchen did not go to them immediately. Instead, he first visited Pengcheng under the leadership of Guan Yanhe.

Hu Mingchen visited local beaches, cultural monuments and natural attractions, Happy City, etc. In addition, Hu Mingchen also visited a local CBD.

Pengcheng currently has two central business districts, but one is dominated by women and deals mainly in clothing, accessories, cosmetics, etc. Hu Mingchen was not interested in that one, so he did not go there.

But Hu Mingchen went to Huaqiangbei, another company that was famous for selling electronic products, and went shopping next to it.

The last time he came, Hu Mingchen's goal was to find Penguin Technology, so he didn't get to see it carefully. He just looked around on the road. This time, he had more time, so he could walk around and have a look.

If you don’t know it, Hu Mingchen finally understands why Pengcheng has become the capital of electronics. Almost all electronic products and parts can be found here, and they can be supplied very conveniently.

This has resulted in the formation of the most complete electronics industry chain in the world.

This is the result of years of accumulation of investment in Pengcheng, and it is also the foundation of this city’s future.

"The products here are so comprehensive. From integrated boards, ICs, to tiny screws, you can find them all here. It really opened my eyes." After visiting two shopping malls in a row, Hu Mingchen couldn't help but sigh.

"There are thousands of counters here, and behind a large part of the counters is a factory. They can take orders for customization, and can also produce and wholesale. Therefore, almost everyone who makes electronic products from all over the world will come here. Even if they don't come, they will still come here.

We are inseparable from this place." Guan Yanhe said.

When Guan Yanhe was doing business, he came to this street often. Many companies started visiting from here, so he had a relatively good understanding of this place.

"Then our company also has a counter here?" Hu Mingchen asked.

"Not before, but I heard Mr. Chen say that he plans to set up two showcases here to handle domestic and foreign customers and orders. If you want to buy a computer, you can go to the mall over there, which can be equipped with various desktop computers.

, and also sell various models of notebooks." Guan Yanhe replied.

"I really want to buy a computer. Let's go and take a look."

Hu Mingchen promised to buy Hu Yandie a computer as a New Year's gift. Since he came to this electronic capital, of course he had to take a look.

At first, Hu Mingchen planned to buy her a desktop computer. From the perspective of functionality and price, it was better to sell a desktop computer, but later Hu Mingchen decided to buy a laptop.

Hu Yandie lives on campus and it is difficult to place a desktop computer. If he buys a laptop, he can use it in the classroom, dormitory and at home.

Hu Mingchen didn’t buy a computer for Hu Yandie just to be fashionable. The key was that she really needed it for her studies. At Gaoshan County Vocational School, Hu Yandie’s major was graphic design, so a computer was an indispensable tool, although the school also set up

There are computer rooms, but with so many classes and students, there are actually not many opportunities for them to come into contact with them.

Following Guan Yanhe to the shopping mall he introduced, Hu Mingchen felt a little short of money as he walked around the four floors.

Before the rebirth, computers were very cheap, even laptops, which generally only cost a few thousand yuan, and you could even buy a branded one for more than 2,000 yuan.

However, Hu Mingchen discovered that the current laptops on the market, whether they are Asus, Sony, IBM, Acer, Samsung, HP, or Dell, basically all the laptops that are barely acceptable are above 15,000. And this one

At that time, there were basically not many domestically produced laptops. Even though companies like Shenzhou also launched cheap laptops, I didn't think about buying their products.

This is not because Hu Mingchen worships foreigners. In fact, there is still a technological gap between these domestic companies that have just stepped into this field and the big foreign brands.

"Hu Sheng, if you want to buy a laptop, I suggest you buy Asus or IBM and Samsung. These three companies have good reputations and excellent products. They are considered leaders in the market." Guan Yanhe suggested to Hu Mingchen next to him.

"Can't Toshiba and Sony do it?" Hu Mingchen asked casually.

"It's not impossible...the key is that they are products of a Japanese company, so forget it." Guan Yanhe hesitated and said.

"Haha, I can't tell. It turns out that you are still an angry young man. I found that many people around me use Japanese products." Hu Mingchen was stunned for a moment and said with a smile.

"I'm not actually an angry youth. The key is that I don't have much affection for little Japan. On the one hand, they make money from us, but on the other hand, they deny history. We must be wary of such people. So before the Japanese admit their mistakes and apologize,

, I will definitely not use Japanese products if I can.” Guan Yanhe said that he was not an angry youth, but his words clearly showed that he was one.

There are gaps and differences between Hu Mingchen and Guan Yanhe in their views on many issues, but on this point he mentioned, the two have a high degree of similarity.

Although little Japan is an economic and technological powerhouse, Hu Mingchen really doesn't have much favorable impressions of them. Although the war between the two countries has been going on for more than half a century, it still remains in the hearts of every bloody citizen.

It is an indelible mark of sorrow, especially when Japan did not sincerely show enough regret for that war of aggression.

"Okay, heroes see the same thing. In that case, just choose ASUS. At least it has a Chinese character. Moreover, products that belong to compatriots, if you have a choice, forget about sticks and American products." Hu Mingchen nodded in approval.

road.

In the end, Hu Mingchen took a fancy to ASUS's s5,i

telpe

tiumm memory, 40g hard drive, 12.1-inch display screen, external drive, the whole machine weighs 1.28kg.

Although this configuration is scum compared to what will be available ten years later, at least the memory needs to be higher than GB. But at the moment, this product is indeed good, and the 12.1-inch screen seems to be quite suitable for girls.

However, it is such a scummy product in Hu Mingchen's eyes, but the price is not cheap, with a price tag of 15,800.

To be honest, such an expensive price is really not affordable for ordinary people. After all, everyone’s salary is not high now. They are willing to spend more than 10,000 to buy a notebook. They are not only business people, students and working people, but also bosses.

A desktop computer is fine.

"It looks good, but the price is a bit expensive, only 15,800 yuan." Hu Mingchen held up the s5 in his hand and looked at it carefully.

"Beauty, can't this price be cheaper?" Guan Yanhe asked the sales lady helpfully.

Guan Yanhe thought that Hu Mingchen would buy it without even frowning at the price of 15,800, but he didn't expect it to be too expensive. In Guan Yanhe's eyes, Hu Mingchen was definitely a rich man.

For more than 10,000 yuan, it should be a piece of cake.

Guan Yanhe didn't know that Hu Mingchen was indeed rich, but it had all been turned into assets. He actually didn't have much money on him. More than fifteen thousand was a huge amount for Hu Mingchen.

"Boss, our prices are the same across the country. This price is really irresistible." said the salesperson standing next to him.

This saleswoman has not been very enthusiastic since Hu Mingchen and others came to the counter. I don’t know whether she is unhappy because she was assigned to be on duty during the New Year, or because she feels that Hu Mingchen and others do not look like rich people and cannot afford such an expensive notebook. Anyway, he

There was no enthusiastic introduction to the product, and he just stood aside, as if he didn't want to buy it.

"It's impossible, it must be less. At least it can be reduced by a thousand yuan. No matter how you set the price here, it can't be the same as in the mainland." Guan Yanhe bargained.

"We are a big brand, and the prices are the same. This is not comparable to the third-tier domestic brands." The saleswoman said with a look of disdain and arrogance.

"Forget it, let's go look elsewhere." Hu Ming said with a sullen face, gently putting down the notebook in his hand.

When he was shopping just now, Hu Mingchen saw that there were three counters selling ASUS notebooks. Since this girl looked like she was dying, why should she buy it from him? It’s not like she couldn’t buy it from him.

arrive.

When Hu Mingchen left, Guan Yanhe could only follow him and stop entangled with the salesman.

"Humph, you obviously can't afford it, so you're pretending to be something, do you think I can't see it?" the saleswoman behind her muttered to herself.

Hu Mingchen heard the saleswoman's murmur, but he had no intention of getting to know her. For such a low-level person, the more he argued with her, the more he fell into disgrace.

Hu Mingchen and the others arrived at another ASUS store, and the male salesperson they had met before immediately came up to them warmly and greeted them.

"No need to introduce anything else. We just want S5. Do you have any price discount here?" Hu Mingchen asked directly after entering the store.

"Well, our price is fifteen thousand eighty. If you really want it, I can apply for a Spring Festival discount for you. In addition, if you don't issue a tax invoice, it can be reduced by a certain amount. Moreover, we

You can give away a cleaning kit, a mouse, a computer bag, and, by the way, an extra pair of headphones..." The answer from this uncomfortable source is more attractive and easy to attract customers.

"Then you calculate how much discount you can give us in total. We don't need the tax stamp." Guan Yanhe said.

"No, we have to issue a tax invoice. Although we will not reimburse, we will not participate in the behavior of assisting tax evasion." Hu Mingchen said unexpectedly.

Basically, more than 90% of people who buy computers will not ask for tax stamps. Unless it is a public purchase by a large company or the government, everyone would rather spend less money.

But Hu Mingchen did the opposite, causing Guan Yanhe and the salesperson to be at odds with each other. The key is that Hu Mingchen himself took the initiative to say that he would not reimburse him, and that he would be spending his own money. In this case, why bother.
