There were no twists and turns in the process of buying a computer. The prices of brand-name computers are staggering, with cheap ones costing five to six thousand, and those with high configurations and well-known brands, which cost tens of thousands.
Fortunately, Tongdao Xu had no intention of buying a brand-name machine.
After Dai Yang communicated with the people in the computer store on his behalf, he made a long configuration list, which included various accessories for an assembly machine.
Comrade Xu didn't understand it very well.
He recognized the words motherboard, CPU, and hard drive, but the manufacturer and model of the motherboard, CPU, and hard drive were written on the list. He couldn't figure out what level these manufacturers and models of accessories were at the moment.
However, since he chose to ask Dai Yang to come over and help him configure the assembly machine this time, he would choose to trust Dai Yang in this regard.
What he mainly pays attention to is the total price under the order.
The total price of an assembled machine is 4886.
Nearly five thousand yuan per unit.
The price was at least one-third higher than what he had expected when he arrived.
Because he remembered the original time and space, when he was working in Shenzhen City in 2000, the price of assembly machines here was generally two to three thousand per unit.
A brand-name machine with a medium configuration will only sell for about 5,000 apiece.
but……
He and Dai Yang had visited six computer stores just now, and he had seen all the prices offered by the six stores. At this time, the price offered by the store they were staying in was already the lowest.
Xu Tongdao also understood the current prices of various computers in Shenzhen City.
Higher than he expected.
When he visited several stores in succession just now, he figured out that things are more expensive than others.
Electronic products are updated very quickly, and as time goes by, although the quality and performance of electronic products will continue to improve, their prices will continue to decrease.
A very clear example - when they passed a mobile phone store just now, they went in and took a look out of curiosity.
When he entered the house, Xu Tongdao was still thinking that if the mobile phones here were cheap, he would buy two or three of them this time. In the days without mobile phones, it was really inconvenient to communicate with his family and girlfriend.
But when he walked into the Motorola mobile phone store and looked at the price tags of the mobile phones on the counter, Tongdao Xu thought - forget it! The current mobile phone configuration is too low. I will buy it in two years without using a mobile phone. In fact, it is quite good.
of.
The mobile phones on the counter, which he considered outdated and ugly, were priced in the thousands, or even tens of thousands.
That's really being sold as a luxury product.
Specializes in killing the culprits.
Therefore, at this time, watching Dai Yang discuss with the clerk, the total price listed on the configuration list, although Xu Tongdao felt that the price was very expensive, he could already accept it.
Taking this configuration sheet, Xu Tongdao went to the store manager and started bargaining with the store manager.

"Store manager, I will buy at least thirty units with this configuration. What price do you think you can give me?"
"At least thirty?"
The store manager's eyes lit up and he immediately became more enthusiastic.
The price will also drop by RMB 100 per machine immediately.
Comrade Xu would certainly not be satisfied if the price was only reduced by 100.
The two continued to bargain until the price reached 4,500. Tongdao Xu found that the price could no longer be raised. The male store manager, who was about thirty years old, had begun to guard against 50 and was not willing to drop it to 50.
Seeing this, Comrade Xu changed his mind.
"Okay! In this case, I won't make it too difficult for you. 4500 is 4500. However, you have to send me another batch of accessories, such as motherboards, CPUs, hard drives, etc. You have to send me a batch of them. At least let me
If I have so many computers back home, if something breaks, will there be spare parts to replace them? What do you think?"
If you don't pay the price, you'll get a gift.
This is the shopping experience he accumulated in his previous life, and it works well most of the time.
No, when the store manager heard that Comrade Xu no longer bargained, but only wanted gifts, he breathed a sigh of relief and agreed, "Okay! This is okay! Let's do it! I can give you a few hard drives! You see
Is 5 yuan okay?”
Tongdao Xu blinked, "Where's the motherboard and CPU? How much do you plan to give me for these two?"
The store manager was stunned, and then his face turned bitter, "My dear, I am selling computers, not side dishes! These accessories are expensive! It is because you decided to buy at least thirty units that I decided to give you 5 hard drives.
I really can’t give away other accessories. Do you think this would be okay? I’ll give you a discount on any other accessories you want. Do you think it’s okay?”
…
In the end, Tongdao Xu bought spare parts for 32 assembly machines.
The free accessories include 5 hard drives, 5 memory sticks, and 2 graphics cards.
In addition, he also bought various accessories worth more than 3,000 yuan.
In this way, the 150,000 he brought this time was almost spent.
Tongdao Xu first paid a deposit of 5,000 yuan and issued a receipt. The two parties agreed that they would come to pick up the goods tomorrow morning, and the computer store would be responsible for using the car to help deliver all the accessories to the train station.
Tongdao Xu planned to take the freight from the railway station and bring all these accessories back to Shuiniao City.
He wouldn't worry about mailing it.
That night, he and Dai Yang took a car and walked around Shenzhen City, experienced the charm of the city that never sleeps, had a meal, walked for a while, and then went to find a hotel to rest.
After all, it took more than twenty hours to take the train from Mizutori City. Although they were riding in a sleeper, it was still very tiring to ride for more than twenty hours in a row.
Before falling asleep that night, Comrade Xu leaned on the bedside and studied a black BB player in his hand.
He can't afford a mobile phone for the time being, mainly because he is reluctant to buy one.
But now that mobile phones have come out, bb machines have become very cheap, and the bb machines here in Huaqiangbei are even more cheap.
He was currently studying one in his hand, and there was a silver-white one on the bedside table.
150 yuan each.
He plans to keep the black one for himself, and the silver one he bought for Bu Yinghui.
Otherwise, it would be too inconvenient for him and Bu Yinghui to contact each other in the future.
After all, he no longer works at Zhiweixuan.
…
At around noon on Monday, Comrade Xu and Dai Yang finally returned to Shuiniao City.
After coming out of the train station, Comrade Xu called a small truck and loaded the computer accessories he bought this time box by box into the truck. Then he followed the truck and went straight to his door at the west gate of the Navy.
A small building for rent.
It was a smooth journey with no accidents.
The truck drove to the door of the small building. Xu Tongdao, Dai Yang, and the truck driver each carried a box into the building.
When entering, Comrade Xu saw plumbers laying wires and Zheng Qing supervising the work.
This plumber was introduced by Xu Tongdao's eldest cousin Wu Changxing, who had also helped Xu Tongdao renovate the small courtyard he bought near No. 1 Middle School in Shazhou County.
Hearing the movement at the door, Zheng Qing turned to look.
Xu Tongdao: "Brother Qing, go and help move the goods!"
Zheng Qing nodded quickly and walked quickly to the truck outside the door, "Okay!"
