Also queuing up at the train station window to buy tickets were Li Mu and Zhao Kang.
Fortunately, they were not far from Pengcheng, more than 300 kilometers away, and it took four or five hours by train. He made an appointment with Sun Peng to meet at one o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, and then asked for Sun Peng's phone number.
Li Mu decided to take a five o'clock train in the morning and arrive in Pengcheng around ten o'clock. The first thing he did was to apply for a local bank card and buy a local mobile phone card.
Speaking of mobile phones, I have to buy them as soon as possible tomorrow.
Sun Peng and his old partner were also lining up in the square in front of Yanjing Railway Station at the moment. They were optimistic about the train number. They would take the sleeper at ten o'clock tomorrow night and arrive in Pengcheng at six o'clock the day after tomorrow.
After both parties bought the tickets, Li Mu said to Zhao Kang: "Come to my house tomorrow morning and find me. Let's go out and buy some mobile phones."
"Buy a few more..." Zhao Kang drawled and deliberately bit the word "several": "You are too rich, why do you buy so many mobile phones?"
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "I want to buy four phones, one for each of us, and one for each of my parents. But I don't know how much mobile phones cost now. Do you know?"
"I know a little bit." Zhao Kang nodded: "I know the Motorola V998, about three thousand, and the flip-top is super cool."
Li Mu smiled and asked, "Do you want one?"
Zhao Kang thought for a moment and said, "Let's forget it. It's too expensive and not worth it."
Li Mu then said: "If you want it and have the conditions, just buy it. It's a classic after all."
"What kind of classic?" Zhao Kang looked confused.
"Nothing." Li Mu waved his hand: "If you like it, buy it."
Zhao Kang looked a little expectant, but quickly said: "I'm not in a hurry to buy it. Let's wait until we sell the Stone Overlord."
Li Mu smiled: "Then I will lend you money to buy a mobile phone tomorrow, and you will pay it back to me the day after tomorrow when you get the money from selling the plug-in?"
Zhao Kang immediately said: "Okay!"
The next morning, Li Mu and Zhao Kang bought four mobile phones in the mobile business hall.
Li Mu feels that there is no point in buying too expensive mobile phones now. Currently, mobile phones only have two basic functions: making calls and text messages.
Therefore, he bought the best-selling Nokia 8250 this year. It has a gray chassis and costs more than 1,000 yuan, which is not expensive. It is much more affordable than the Motorola V998+ which costs nearly 3,000 yuan.
Thinking that his parents were not particularly flashy people, Li Mu bought a black 8250 for his father and a white 8310 for his mother. Nokia's blue screen machines have two nicknames: Brick and Standby King. Until the era of smartphones, many people running business would still carry a Nokia on their body because the quality was so good, it could defend themselves and open walnuts, and it could last a week on a single charge.
Including the V998+ that Zhao Kang wanted, Li Mu bought a total of four mobile phones and four mobile phone sim cards. The total cost was about 8,000, and each mobile phone sim card had 200 pre-stored phone bills.
When choosing a number, Li Mu made up a family number by himself. His last number was 1003. He left 1001 and 1002 to his parents to choose.
After leaving the business hall, Zhao Kang couldn't put it down while holding the newly bought mobile phone. In his plan, he should wait until he graduates from college to own such a mobile phone. After all, people nowadays don't know enough about the foreign electronic equipment market. To be honest, mobile phones are a standard luxury product in this era.
In this era, Motorola V998+ is generally something that only boss-level people can afford. In this era, those who can afford business mobile phones and business laptops are better than those who can use IPHONE and MACBOOK in later generations. Too much.
Li Mu did not tell Zhao Kang that the price-performance ratio of the mobile phone he bought was too low. He just felt that there were too many things that he could like in life, but there were very few things he could get. Since Zhao Kang liked this mobile phone very much, then he He should be encouraged to make decisions.
Zhao Kang fumbled around on his phone and saved the first number in the phone book: Li Mu.
He still doesn't know how to tell his parents about the origin of this mobile phone, let alone what to say about the income after the Stone Overlord sells it.
But who cares, he didn’t steal or rob, he earned it through his own ability. As for how he earned it? He was not prepared to answer this question from his parents. They had always been in control of everything, and it was time to surprise them and let them know that he was starting to go beyond their control.
…
When Father Li and Mother Li saw the three brand-new mobile phones, their first reaction was indeed quite shocking.
It feels like buying three cars at once, which is too luxurious and wasteful.
"How can we, a family of three, afford three mobile phones?" Li's mother said the word mobile phone very clearly. In her opinion, she and her husband are the two points between work and home. If the family needs mobile phones, it is Li Mu. Yes, because his son traveled thousands of miles and his mother was worried. He had a mobile phone and she could find him at any time.
Li Mu then said: "What are three mobile phones? Mom, have you ever thought that our family of three can not only afford three mobile phones, but also three houses, three cars or even more?"
"Look at what you're doing." Mother Li laughed and scolded: "You little bastard, there are three people living in three apartments. Do you want your parents to separate?"
Li Mu's face was full of grievance: "I'm sorry, Mom! I bought a mobile phone so that the three of us can have closer contact. If you go out to buy food in the future, and I suddenly want to eat something, I can call you and tell you what I want to eat tonight. You can buy whatever you want to eat, how nice it is."
"Yes." Dad Li played the Snake game on his mobile phone and said with a smile: "I think mobile phones will definitely be available to everyone in the future. My son is letting us enjoy advanced life in advance. What can we do to complement it?" Not worth it."
Li Mu looked at his father in surprise: "Dad, you are so prophetic. How can you be sure that everyone will have a mobile phone in the future?"
Dad Li was playing enthusiastically and said without raising his head: "When I first started working, I was sent to Guizhou for two years to provide support. If anything was urgent at that time, your grandfather would always send me telegrams and call us ordinary people. There was no place to call, and at that time I felt that sooner or later, telephones would be installed in every household, but the time had not come yet.”
As he said that, Dad Li pointed to his landline phone: "Look, haven't our phones been in our homes for several years? Now it's time to add mobile phones to our homes."
Li Mu couldn't help but admire his father with admiration. He was not only prophetic, but also very accurate. The era where everyone has a mobile phone will come in a few years.
As soon as Li Ma heard this, she didn't say anything and just muttered: "I heard that this mobile phone fee is very cheating. You only charge for making calls, and you also charge for answering calls. How annoying."
"Then save it." Dad Li said with a smile: "If you don't have anything to do, try not to call. But if I really need to see you for something, or if you want to find someone else, you can't be stingy about calling, right? It's still something important, and the phone call won't take more than a minute. Just a few cents?”
"That's right." Li's mother stopped mumbling, but picked up the phone with great interest and said to Li Mu: "Son, teach me how to use it."
Li Mu smiled and said, "You two haven't chosen numbers yet. Number 1, number 2, number 3. As the bottom, I consciously chose number 3. Who will give number 1 to?"
"To your dad (to your mom)."
The two of them showed mutual humility to each other.
Li Mu then said: "Then let dad use No. 1. After all, he is the head of the household in our household registration book."
Mom also had no objection: "Then I'll use No. 2."
Li Mu smiled and said: "Both Chief No. 1 and Chief No. 2 are chiefs."
"Go and give Chief No. 2 a cup of tea!"
"It's an order."
"Chief No. 2, can I tell you something?"
"Say it."
"I have to get up at four o'clock tomorrow morning. If I accidentally disturb you in your sleep, don't be angry and leave me alone. Just go back to sleep."
Li Ma asked in surprise: "I got up at four o'clock and thought about where to go? At that time, there wasn't even a breakfast stall."
Li Mu accompanied him with a smile: "I have to go do something. Didn't I tell you that I'm trying to sell some online things for money!"
Li's mother looked curious: "Then just surf the Internet at home. Why are you going out so early?"
"I go out to sell and make money, but the money can't be transferred directly to my account from the Internet."
"It's mysterious, like a speculator back in the day."
Dad Li uttered an exclamation, and the greedy snake was dead, so he raised his head and said: "Honey, why do you ask so clearly? This guy can write a song and sell it for 80,000 yuan. He must know more about everything now than We both know it, as long as he knows what's going on."
"Okay." Ma Li didn't ask any more questions and just said, "Mom, get up early and cook for you."
"Forget it." Li Mu said hurriedly: "I will go to the canteen downstairs later to buy a bucket of instant noodles. I will soak them in the morning and eat them before leaving."
"How can that be okay? Instant noodles are not nutritious. Mom will get up and cook for you."
"What can we do in the morning?"
"Noodle…"
"Yeah, I'd better go buy instant noodles..."
After Li Mu finished speaking, he stood up and walked out the door. Li's mother shook her head helplessly. After Li Mu went out, she said to Dad Li: "My son is really different now from before."
"After the college entrance examination, I became more sensible."
"You think, is it really possible for my son to apply for Renmin University? I'm afraid that if he doesn't get admitted, why don't I persuade him to apply for Jinling University? That's also the key point, the score should be lower."
"Let's not make random decisions for him. Since he wants to apply to Renmin University, let's not talk too much and let him make his own decision."
"Okay... If my son really gets the admission notice from Renmin University, you have to accompany me to the temple to worship Buddha and say thank you."
"OK!"
