Rebirth: My dad is too obedient
Chapter 37: The King of Saipan
Chapter 37: The King of Saipan
Nokia counter on the first floor of the computer city.
Xu Chen walked to the counter, without even looking at it, and said directly to the clerk:
"N70."
Nokia N70 is also considered a legendary phone and was once called the "King of Symbian".
When it was first launched on the market, the official selling price was close to 5000 yuan, and it was even hyped up to or yuan at one point.
In his previous life, his father Xu Zhiquan had promised Xu Chen that he would buy him one when he was admitted to university.
Unexpectedly, before Xu Chen took the college entrance examination, Xu Zhiquan's business ushered in a major turning point. He soon faced debts, factory closures, bankruptcy, and the sale of houses...
Naturally, Xu Chen's long-awaited new mobile phone was nowhere to be found.
After that, my father went south to work to pay off the debts, and I also worked part-time to pay for my studies in college. I was very tight on money during my four years in college and had no money to buy a new cell phone.
Later, Xu Chen graduated and started working, and saved some money, but the Nokia N70 had long been obsolete.
There is no point in buying it again...
Now that I have been reborn and have easily earned $70 entirely on my own, it is time to get the N.
It can also be regarded as an explanation for one's youth.
The clerk took out a brand new machine from the glass counter and handed it to Xu Chen. It was the N70.
Xu Chen didn't look closely either:
"How much is it now?"
Shop assistant: “We are having a promotion right now, the discounted price is 4680.
In addition, our store offers a free spare battery and a universal charger.”
It’s still very expensive, after all, this was 06.
The purchasing power of 06 yuan in was still very strong.
But Xu Chen did not hesitate at all, took out his bank card and waved it generously:
“Swipe your card!”
The clerk smiled and quickly took out the card machine.
"Sir, please enter the password."
"Please keep the invoice. If there is any quality problem, you can come to exchange it. You will also need this invoice for future repairs."
"Here are the gifts, spare batteries and a universal charger."
Xu Chen picked up the universal charger and took a look at it.
"Scud" also has a strong sense of the times.
Many people born after 95 and 00 have never seen these rare things, but back then everyone had one.
Xu Chen opened the box on the spot and replaced the SIM card of the old phone.
Long press to turn on the phone, and you will see the classic handshake startup animation...
As Xu Chen played with the N70, he couldn't help but marvel at its excellent industrial design.
The overall texture and appearance reveal a strong and exquisite retro mechanical atmosphere.
Unlike later large-screen smartphones, which basically all look the same.
But after turning on the computer, the small screen was filled with mosaic particles and the retro and simple UI still made Xu Chen feel backward.
Now it seems that it is not unfair that the Symbian system was eliminated and the Nokia building collapsed.
The camera only has 2 million pixels, and the photos taken are all mosaics. Unlike later mobile phones, which have 100 million pixels...
But Xu Chen still likes it very much.
There are some sentimental factors, but the most important one is the blessing of memories.
After rebirth, it feels really good to make up for all the regrets, big and small, from the past.
……
After leaving the Nokia counter, Xu Chen wandered around the computer city again.
He was still holding the old Bird mobile phone in his hand, wondering whether he should give it to Xie Bingran.
After getting to know each other over the past few days, Xu Chen was sure that Xie Bingran did not have a cell phone.
If I want to contact her normally, there is no way except to meet her in the cafeteria or in class.
Xu Chen hesitated for a moment, walked to the Bird counter, and bought a new phone that was exactly the same as his old one.
There are still some text messages in my old phone that are difficult to copy out, so I can't send them directly to Xie Bingran.
But if I directly told Xie Bingran that I bought a new phone for her, I would probably put a lot of psychological pressure on this girl.
Just say that you have a new phone and gave her the old one. I think she will be more receptive.
Although she is now the domineering "Bing Ge", in Xu Chen's eyes, she is still the introverted, thin, and inferior deskmate back then...
After Xu Chen bought the Bird phone, he opened the box and threw it away. He would then just give her the phone and charging cable later.
Xu Chen went to the China Mobile agent outlet again and applied for a new phone card directly, which he would give to Xie Bingran when the time comes.
In 06, the real-name registration system for mobile phones had not yet been enforced, and phone cards could be applied for anonymously. …
……
When I rushed back to school, the first evening self-study session had just begun.
The mock exam is on Thursday, and the atmosphere during the evening self-study session is filled with tension and anxiety.
Xu Chen took out his math exercise book and started studying.
In the past few days, we have carried out special efforts in mathematics, especially problems involving number series, and we will not let go of any of them we encounter.
After all, Xu Chen, who was reborn, knew clearly that this test point was the last big question in the college entrance examination mathematics!
Chen Dahai on the side suddenly patted Xu Chen on the shoulder and then extended his hand.
"What?"
"It's a new phone! Bring it here so I can take a look!"
Xu Chen looked helpless, took out an N70 from his trouser pocket and handed it to Chen Dahai.
Chen Dahai took the phone, buried his head under the table, and started to play with it carefully.
From time to time, he would murmur sounds of admiration, his feelings of liking and envy evident in his words.
Several other boys nearby also hurried over, vying to borrow the book to read and watch.
When the phone was passed around and returned to Xu Chen, the first evening study session was almost over.
Xu Chen took the phone, feeling speechless.
Could this phone have been passed around the whole class?
If I upload it again, I guess it will be ready for the plate...
Chen Dahai raised his head and looked around, then said in a low voice:
"It's strange, why didn't the old bald guy come to keep watch tonight?"
Old Baldy is, of course, a nickname for the class teacher Zhang Liqun.
Another boy next to him laughed softly:
"It's just right that you're not here. We can relax a little."
Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, remembering the scene in the afternoon when Zhang Liqun asked him to submit his article to the website.
The head teacher, Zhang Liqun, a bald old man, wouldn't he go home and hold back his Shenbao submission proposal? !
……
At ten o'clock in the evening, the lights in the classroom were turned off.
Only then did Xu Chen and Chen Dahai walk out of the classroom, tired and exhausted.
The night breeze was cool, and a few people were walking towards the dormitory, chatting and laughing.
When passing by the door of the girls' dormitory, Xu Chen looked up.
He wanted to give his cell phone to Xie Bingran, but had no way to contact her.
Then let's wait until tomorrow.
At noon, "Brother Bing" is usually in the cafeteria.
The city games selection will be held on Wednesday, and I don’t know if Xie Bingran has trained privately.
……
After a quick wash, Xu Chen climbed onto the bed.
Several hard-working roommates were still studying hard on their beds, racing against time before the lights went out.
Chen Dahai, who was sleeping on the lower bunk, was already fast asleep.
Xu Chen took out his newly bought mobile phone and opened QQ.
Although it is an old-fashioned Symbian from the last era, at least it can access the Internet.
After logging into my QQ account, the first message that popped up was from “Wangshi Ruyan”.
[Teacher Xiao Xu, the company's finance department has transferred the money this afternoon, please remember to check.]
Xu Chen replied:
【The payment has been received! Thank you Mr. Guo! 】
Just when I was about to turn off the computer and go to sleep, an email reminder suddenly popped up.
Xu Chen clicked it and almost burst out laughing.
Zhang Liqun, the head teacher, really contributed to Shenbao...
And it was delivered to Xu Chen's mailbox at the same time.
Xu Chen opened the email with a sly smile on his face.
