Feng Yu was about to pick out a punched disc in the box to see if he liked it, when he suddenly heard an exclamation from Li Na.

"What are you doing? I saw it first."

"Whatever you see first, if I get it, it's mine." A young man, holding a CD in his hand, was proudly showing off to Li Na.

Feng Yu ran over in 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 my hand." Li Na said angrily. This person is so unreasonable, she already has it in his hand, how can she snatch it away

Feng Yu stretched out his hand towards the young man: "Bring it here, 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? It's imported. Do you understand English? Do you have a CD player? You guys, go Buy a cassette of Wei Wei’s tapes and listen to them.”

At this time, Chinese people were still in the stage of listening to tapes. Although CDs had entered the country, few people could afford them because the price was too high. Not to mention the player, the genuine price of a CD alone is as high as dozens of yuan, far exceeding the price of a tape, and many people cannot afford it.

But those who can't afford it obviously do not include Feng Yu. In the bag Feng Yu was carrying, there was a Discman (CD player, produced by Sony).

Feng Yu calmly took out the bulky Discman from his bag. At this time, it was not like the small ones in later generations. It could be hung on the waist or put in the pocket. Now, you don't have to carry a bag. Not convenient to carry at all!

Feng Yu held up Discman and said to the young man in the same tone: "Boy, do you know what this is? Discman, an imported product, the latest model that my friend brought me back from the United States, is also the most expensive one! You have CD player? Take it out and let me have a look. Do you understand English? Do you know what the lyrics mean?"

This young man was dumbfounded. The owners of the video store were 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 stood there in a daze holding the CD. [△网WwW.] Feng Yu casually took out a hundred-yuan bill from his bag and handed it to the owner of the video store: "Boss, I want that CD!"

The boss quickly snatched the CD from the young man's hand and gave it to Feng Yu. This kid's family is really rich, and he actually carries a hundred-yuan bill when he goes out. His family is not afraid of losing it either. Are there people who don’t even ask the price when buying something? They just say yes and it’s so satisfying!

The look on the young man's face changed from arrogance to embarrassment, and his face instantly turned red, looking like he was going to explode with anger!

Feng Yu deliberately said loudly: "I'll drive you to Daoli later to eat delicious food. A new Sichuan-Sichuan restaurant has opened there. I heard that a meal costs hundreds of yuan. By the way, are you afraid of spicy food?"

Originally, the young man was thinking of going out to find someone to give Feng Yu a beating, but he heard that Feng Yu actually came by car. He immediately gave up the idea.

Those who can drive these days must have very capable families, either with power or money. Regardless of whether he is powerful or rich, he is definitely better than his father, who sells clothes, so he might as well put up with it.

The young man lowered his head and hid his face before leaving the video store. Feng Yu turned around and cast a proud look at Li Na, wishing he could write a few big words on his face: "I'm awesome, please praise me!"

Li Na pursed her lips and smiled, shaking her head slightly. Feng Yu really imitated Wen Dongjun. When did he become so showy (dialect, meaning to show off).

If Feng Yu knew what Li Na was thinking, he would definitely scream injustice in his heart. Although he was deliberately showing off. It was to convey a message to young people that I was not to be messed with, and to avoid other troubles. This was completely different from Wen Dongjun’s kind of showing off for the sake of showing off!

"Brother, don't you want to choose these tapes and CDs anymore?" The shop owner saw that Feng Yu had money and decided to continue selling products. This boy's family is rich and he doesn't know how hard it is to make money. Why don't he take the opportunity to scrape an extra layer of oil from this kid

"Forget it, they are all defective products with holes punched in them. You have a good reputation. These things are all private goods, right?" Feng Yu asked with a smile.

In these years, because imported genuine tapes and CDs were too expensive and there were restrictions, the market for such punched tapes and punched discs was very hot.

A disc of this kind of punched disc costs only a few yuan, and you can listen to at least half of the songs on it. It is very affordable and is very popular among music enthusiasts who cannot afford genuine CDs and tapes.

This hot situation lasted until around 1995. It's not that the country has opened up restrictions on imported audio and video products, but that pirated audio and video products are so popular. The price of a pirated CD or a box of pirated tapes is less than three-tenths of the original, and some even reach one-tenth. , cheaper than perforated tapes, and you can listen to everything, so who would buy perforated tapes

No matter you want foreign or domestic products, as long as they sell well, there are pirated ones! The sound quality is not much different, but the price is much cheaper, which actually stimulates the sales of Walkman players.

All punched tapes are genuine products. Because the market estimates are too high, they cannot be sold. According to regulations, the publishing company cannot sell them at a reduced price and can only choose to destroy them. A machine is used to punch a hole in the disc or tape, and then some people in China import it as waste plastic, sort it and distribute it to these video stores.

Selling them in the name of tapes and CDs is actually smuggling, so Feng Yu asked.

The video store owner laughed a few times and didn't explain much, so he acquiesced.

"Brother, you don't like these punched tapes, right? I also rent video tapes here. Why don't you take a look? As long as they are movies released years ago, whether they are domestic, Hong Kong, Taiwan or the United States, I have them here. There are even European ones. You must have a VCR at home. Renting a few cassettes and taking them back to watch is much more interesting than watching TV programs."

The punched tapes couldn't be sold, so the store owner started selling video tape rentals. Judging by his attitude, he didn't plan to give Feng Yu any change. He planned to keep the one hundred yuan in his pocket!

Feng Yu also thinks that TV programs are boring now, so it is better to rent a few boxes of videos and take them back to watch. He walked over and took a look, not only movies, but also TV series. For example, "The Deer and the Cauldron" had forty-two video tapes.

Li Na was still choosing CDs, and Feng Yu spent a long time choosing video tapes, but still wasn't too interested. He was about to review some classic gun fight movies in Hong Kong, when the shop owner suddenly pulled him and asked mysteriously: "Young man, Why don’t you go inside and choose, there are better looking ones!”

Feng Yu blinked and looked at the store owner with that slutty expression. He seemed to understand what the store owner said was the better video.

But Feng Yu finally gritted his teeth and refused. It was enough to make him angry because he couldn't eat such a beautiful woman like Li Na. If he watched that kind of video tape, wouldn't that force him to transform into a werewolf

Besides, although there is a video recorder at home, if the video tape is discovered by my sister, my father will definitely come from the farm and use a feather duster to educate Feng Yu, a brat who is "not doing his job properly"!

He thought so in his heart, but Feng Yu still reached out to lift the door curtain by mistake.

"Feng Yu, have you finished choosing?"

Feng Yu hurriedly retracted his hand and took two video tapes casually: "I've finished selecting, here I go."

When he walked out of the video store, Feng Yu looked back and took a deep look. Well, I remembered the address... (To be continued.)
