For Yu Fan, his four-year college career may be the most unforgettable thing in his life, but to be honest, what the university he attended is like is a bit blurry in his mind. What is clear is the dormitory where the few of them live. Although it is a bit dilapidated, the most youthful time of the few of them was spent there.
The old classmates were naturally very friendly when they met each other, and the place where they made an appointment was also in a hotel outside Lang Xun's community. According to Lang Xun's idea, he wanted everyone to stay in his own home. , there are rooms anyway, but after all, there are two old people at home, and it is not convenient to chat loudly and reminisce about the past. In the last resort, we opened a few rooms outside, so even if there is a falling out, It won't disturb anyone.
When Yu Fan arrived, a few people were lying on the sofa, boasting, and acting wildly, as if this was not a hotel, but a dormitory for several people in the university. Even Shen Si no longer had the indifference of the past. He crossed his legs and leaned against Lang Xun, holding a can of beer in his hand. This familiar scene made Yu Fan feel warm in his heart. He had never experienced such a life since leaving college.
"You are finally here, you dead fish. If you don't come, we will all be beaten by Boss Lang." The speaker was Ji Chao. This guy is an out-and-out southerner. He has a thick southern accent and Mandarin in his mouth, which always makes people feel so awkward. A few people in school often make fun of him for this, but this guy is not ashamed of it, but proud of it. In fact, this is not I can't blame Ji Chao. After so many years of reform and opening up, southern provinces have generally become richer. It seems that being able to speak southern dialect has become a fashion, as if being able to speak a few words in southern dialect means becoming one of the rich. Yes, people all over the country seem to agree with this.
In fact, relying on their geographical advantages, the economic development of the southern provinces is indeed much higher than that of the inland provinces, but just like the fingers have their own lengths, many people are getting rich and many are poor, and Ji Chao and the others His family happened to belong to the poor, otherwise he would not have ended up studying in a third-rate university in Central South Province.
Laughing loudly, the two of them gave Ji Chao a warm hug, patted Ji Chao on the shoulder, Yu Fan looked at him with a smile and said: "You guy, you have gained a lot of weight in the past two years. I won't be able to gain weight any more." I don’t know you anymore.” Ji Chao looked down at his slightly protruding belly, smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, “No way, I couldn’t gain weight even if I wanted to, but now I can’t lose weight no matter how thin I am. There is no other way," he said, waving his hands helplessly.
Seeing Ji Chao's appearance, Shen Si stood up and joked: "She is no longer the Xiao Ji we knew before. She is now a boss. When we meet in the future, we will call him Mr. Ji." Yu Fanwen Yan chuckled, looked at Ji Chao and said, "Let me tell you, it seems that you have been living a pretty good life these past few years."
With a somewhat proud smile, Ji Chao patted Yu Fan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Small business, small business, just to make ends meet." Just as he was saying this, Shi Yong walked up from behind and hooked him. He looked over his shoulder and said with a smile: "It is indeed a small business. I can prove that this guy is the owner of a copycat machine. I have been dragged into the water by him."
Yu Fan was stunned for a moment, but in the blink of an eye he pointed at the two of them and said with a smile: "You two won't be doing business together now, right?" Shi Yong laughed and said: "How could I have that kind of fate? I don't know how to do it now." Just help him distribute knockoff phones and earn a living under our boss Ji, right, boss Ji," after saying that, he looked at Ji Chao with a smile on his face.
Ji Chao couldn't laugh or cry for a while. He punched him on the shoulder and scolded him with a smile: "Fuck you, you said it as if you were wronged. You earn as much as me, and you still have the nerve to say that I am making a copycat phone. Shi Yong chuckled and said: "What happened to the copycat phone? I am using a copycat phone now, and people all over the country also love to use copycat phones. This is what the people want, and you should be proud of it."
"Go, go, go, let's cool off." After hearing what the two said, Yu Fan looked at them with a smile and said, "It seems your business is doing well." When Ji Chao heard this, he quickly smiled and waved his hand: " Xiaoyu, don't listen to this guy's nonsense. It's just a workshop of his own. There are such workshops everywhere in our place now." At this point, he seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile: "Don't say it yet. Since I started working in this industry, I have understood the meaning of it. It is simply huge profits. Obviously, the cost of assembling a mobile phone is only about a hundred yuan, but look at the prices of imported mobile phones in the market. Aren’t we, the common people of China, regarded as villains? Humph, if there weren’t those of us who make copycat devices, how could we expose the ugly faces of these foreigners?”
Yu Fan couldn't help but smile when he heard this. This guy still looked like the scoundrel he was in school, but the words coming out of his mouth made Yu Fan's heart move. The word 'cottage' seems to be a very popular word in China recently. , as if it appeared overnight and became well known to the vast number of people in China. It seems that everything in people's daily life can be 'copycat', but among them, the 'copycat' of mobile phones is the most famous.
In fact, Yu Fan had heard of the term "copycat" when he was in college, but it was not as popular as it is now. The same mobile phone, the same style, although there are differences in quality, there is also a difference in price. But it is obviously bigger. Often the price of 'copycat' mobile phones is only one-tenth or even one-twentieth of the price of genuine mobile phones. And just with such an astonishing price difference, those who produce copycat mobile phones also make money. The pots are full, which actually explains some problems.
Science and technology is the primary productive force, which has been the foundation for national development since the beginning of China's reform and opening up. However, due to ideological and various historical legacy reasons, some Western countries have banned high-tech exports to China. This is very common in China. This has largely restricted the development of high-tech enterprises in China. However, with the gradual prosperity of China's development, China's consumer market has become a big deal in the eyes of some foreign companies.
Businessmen pursue profits, not only for Chinese businessmen, but also for foreigners. Yu Fan clearly remembers that when he was in school, the astonishing price of the mobile phone called "Big Brother", and just now This kind of "Big Brother" produced by an American company has become worthless after just a few years. The problems reflected in this should be obvious. Some foreign companies are using high technology to The things carried out a high-tech 'blackmail' on the people of China.
China's national conditions have caused many people living in rural areas to leave their hometowns to work outside. The only way to contact their families is through mobile phones. However, the high price of mobile phones at that time was prohibitive for them. At this time, 'cottage' The emergence of mobile phones is just enough to meet their needs, at an affordable price, and just enough to become a way for them to communicate with their families. This is why 'copycat' mobile phones have become so popular, accounting for 20% of the mobile phone communication market. The real reason.
It can be seen that Shi Yong and Ji Chao are living a good life. After sitting down, Yu Fan glanced at Shi Jian, who had been sitting silently, and smiled and said: "Old Shi. Ah, you and Shi Yong Xiaoji are not far away, so why don’t you do it with them?”
Shi Jian was very dull when he was in school, so he got the nickname "Stone". He didn't expect that after so many years after leaving school, his personality has not changed at all. This made Yu Fan feel a little surprised. When asked like this, Shi Jian just smiled naively, but Shi Yong on the side sighed softly and said: "Xiaoyu, you don't know, Lao Shi is so honest and stubborn. His stone is absolutely right,"
Yu Fan was confused after hearing this, but Shi Yong glanced at Shi Jian and sighed: "After we came back from attending your wedding that year, Lao Shi and his family arranged for him to go to their county through connections. It is a good thing to be in a public institution and hold the "iron rice bowl" of the government, but you also know Lao Shi's character. He was like it when he first entered and is still like it now. For this matter, Lao Ji and I both advised I've passed him many times," after saying that, he looked at Shi Jian and shook his head helplessly.
Hearing this, Yu Fan was greatly surprised. He looked at Shi Jian and said with a smile: "Old Shi, you are also a national civil servant now." Nodding with a smile, Shi Jian said: "My family has entrusted me with this, and I work in the county cultural bureau. , not as good as Shi Yong and the others." Yu Fan smiled and nodded, but in his heart he thought of the time when he first arrived at the rural office, and it seemed that the two of them had similar experiences.
He smiled and suddenly thought of something. He looked at Shi Jian and said with a smile: "When I got married last time, didn't you have a girlfriend named Li? Why didn't you bring her with you this time?" Yu Fan said The expression on Shi Jian's naive face dimmed, and Yu Fan was surprised for a moment, but Ji Chao on the side sighed, patted Yu Fan on the shoulder, and whispered: "Xiaoyu, please don't open the pot." Who cares? The two of them broke up after we went back last time. Because of this, Lao Shicai has been hiding in their shabby cultural bureau. We tried to persuade him to work with us several times, but he didn't listen. "
It turns out that this is the case. Yu Fan sighed inwardly when he heard this, but looked at Shi Jian with a smile and comforted him: "Old Shi, you are not a young man in his early twenties anymore. This kind of thing is easy to get together and easy to break up. You should have seen a lot of them when you were in school. Just look at it." Shi Jian sighed and said with a smile on his face: "It's not as serious as they said, but my personality is not suitable for business. "It's better to live a more down-to-earth life in a public institution." Even though he said this, Yu Fan still sensed that Shi Jian still had other thoughts in his heart. Just as he was about to say a few more words, Shen Si stood aside. He stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, brothers, can we stop talking about these disappointing things? Tonight is the last night that our husband is going to be single. Should we give a good greeting to our groom-to-be?" Officer," after hearing these words, Lang Xun, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly stood up.
