Chapter 169: Can you afford two?

When Gu Chen passed Motorola, he noticed that there were quite a few people inside.

After all, Motorola was only introduced to China in 2000, and at that time, most people still liked it very much.

It has to be admitted that the Americans really know how to design.

The appearance they designed, whether it was the lines or the style, really had a huge audience in those days.

After all, their marketing and public relations were really done very well.

hello moto, simple and distinctive, has always been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and it's hard to forget.

So much so that when people think of mobile phones, the first thing that flashes through their minds is hello moto.

At this moment, an idle salesperson was planning to find another good customer so that he could earn more commission.

But unexpectedly, the first person he saw was Gu Chen, standing in the doorway with her child in her arms.

He pursed his lips, unable to help feeling a little deflated.

As the old saying goes, you judge a person by their shoes.

It's the modern age, but people who wear cloth shoes are either in dire straits or from the countryside.

Neither of these two types of people are obviously his target audience.

Thinking this, he shook his head and turned away in dissatisfaction.

Gu Chen had actually seen him, especially the way he had turned away with disdain.

But he wasn't angry at all.

People looking down on others because of their appearance is something that happens all the time, in any era.

It is undeniable that in this society there is a group of people who like to judge people by appearances. They are used to judging a person's monthly salary, family income, and social status from their appearance, and there are a lot of these kinds of people.

Gu Chen didn't want to buy a Motorola either, although the slogan 'hello moto' was catchy.

Motorola's momentum is indeed very strong.

But in comparison, I prefer Nokia!

As for why.

The answer is simple.

Nokia was founded in 1865, while Motorola was founded in 1928.

In terms of time, Nokia is an old brand, and it has been ranked first in mobile phone sales for fourteen consecutive years.

Motorola is a bit inferior in this regard. One is young, energetic, vibrant, and high-profile.

The other is mature and stable, low-key and elegant.

Gu Chen prefers the latter.

What's more, Nokia has another advantage: it can crack walnuts!

Can Motorola?

Although the walnut-cracking claim is a bit exaggerated, this alone proves that Nokia is drop-resistant and durable!

Gu Chen hugged his daughter and turned his head to look at Nokia across the street.

It wasn't until he entered the store that he realised that Nokia had just as many people working there as Motorola.

He sighed inwardly, and indeed, the gods were fighting.

A waiter saw Gu Chen and came in, walking over enthusiastically, 'Hello, sir, is there anything you like? I can introduce it to you.'

Seeing that Gu Chen was holding a child, he hurriedly went to the front desk and took a few beautifully packaged candies from the white glass fruit plate. Then he turned back, smiling at little Sugar Sugar.

'Be a good girl, come down and play, auntie has some candies, let Daddy rest for a bit, okay?'

Her tone was patient and gentle.

The little one's eyes lit up when she saw the candy. This wrapper is so pretty!

It must be delicious!

Although she really wanted to eat the candy, she still didn't extend her hand, but looked pitifully at Gu Chen.

In a baby voice, she asked, 'Daddy, is it okay?'

The little one's dark eyes were full of pleading.

Gu Chen was simply defenseless.

He smiled helplessly and nodded.

'Okay, then remember to thank the auntie.'

Having received his father's permission, Tang Tang happily held out his little meaty hand and took the free candy from the salesperson.

His teeth were visible as he smiled, 'Thank you auntie~'

The salesperson couldn't help but sigh at the little guy's understanding and cuteness.

'This child is really understanding, it's really rare to find a child of this age who is so obedient and understanding.'

To be honest, this child is almost three years old, really, dogs see and avoid.

He is not afraid of anything, doesn't understand anything, and doesn't listen to anything.

He is a real headache.

Gu Chen put Tang Tang on the ground, nodded with a smile, and said, 'I want a cost-effective mobile phone. Can you introduce one?'

After all, at his current level, buying a mobile phone that costs 10,000 to 20,000 yuan is really a hassle.

Besides, even if you spend a lot of money, the mobile phone still has limited functions. It doesn't have WeChat, TikTok, or King of Glory, and it can only make phone calls and send text messages, with at most an additional QQ.

These are the only uses for mobile phones nowadays.

So there's really no need to buy an expensive one.

The salesperson thought for a moment, smiled politely at Gu Chen, and said, 'Sir, please follow me.'

Then he walked a few steps towards the counter next to him, took out a black Nokia 5110 from inside and handed it to Gu Chen.

'Please take a look at this phone. In 1997, 1998 and last year, this phone had the highest sales. This year, because it is classified as an old model, the price has been reduced. It is now only 3,000 yuan, and the price-performance ratio is absolutely high.'

'And there is another advantage of this phone, and that is that the shell can be replaced. You can replace the shell of any colour when it becomes worn, and then you can use it for many more years. It is really a good deal.'

The salesperson introduced it patiently and in detail.

Gu Chen also thought it was good. To be honest, his only requirement was that it could make calls.

After all, there was nothing fun about mobile phones these days.

He didn't like playing Minesweeper or Tetris.

'Okay, two then.'

Gu Chen's simple manner made the salesperson's brow twitch.

My goodness, he just asked about the price-performance ratio, and I thought he couldn't afford a good phone. I didn't really have high hopes when I introduced this one, after all, no matter how much of a discount it is, the price is still there.

Unexpectedly, not only did he want to buy it, he wanted two at once.

This is really unexpected.

The salesperson swallowed, suppressing his inner exclamations.

'So, what colour would you like?'

'One black and one white.'

The black one for himself, and the white one for Ji Pianran.

'Oh, and get two phone cards, each with 300 yuan of credit.'

If you're going to do something, do it right the first time, so you don't have to go back twice.

Gu Chen was hardworking, but if something can be done at once, you won't have to go back twice, no matter what you say.

'Okay, no problem, just a moment,'

The salesperson promised and walked over to the innermost counter. He took two phones with packaging from the floor and then two SIM cards. He walked over to the computer at the cash register and started to operate it.

Then he looked over at Gu Chen, 'Sir, it's done. It's 6,670 yuan in total. There's a discount for calls over 200 yuan, so I'll count it as 6,600 yuan for you.'

'That's a pretty lucky number, 666 is good luck,' Gu Chen said with a smile as he walked over.

He then pulled open the pocket of his shirt and took out a stack of red bills from inside, counting out 66 and handing them to the salesperson.

Then he said, "Can you help me load the card?'

The salesperson nodded, "No problem, sir.'

He then skillfully removed the packaging, inserted the two cards into the two mobile phones one after the other, and put them back in the box before handing them to Gu Chen.

'May I ask if there is anything else you need, sir?'

Gu Chen smiled, 'No, I'll come back when I need something.'

Regardless of anything else, he would buy a Nokia next time he bought a mobile phone just for the service!

After saying this, Gu Chen picked up his daughter, who was sitting on the sofa eating candy while watching the outside world, and walked out the door.

The Motorola salesperson, who had just looked down on Gu Chen, happened to be standing outside the store, ready to solicit customers.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he saw Gu Chen holding two new mobile phones and carrying his daughter, walking out of the Nokia store.

His eyes instantly widened wider than a copper bell.
