Chapter 249 The Legend Don't Belong to Your Waist

In the fine tradition of Chinese 5,000-year-old Chinese clothes, men always have to wear something around their waists.

The jade pendants from the pre-Qin period, the seals of the Han Dynasty, the swords of the Tang and Song dynasties, and the sachets of the Ming and Qing dynasties are all objects that show their identities.

By the end of the 1980s, the pager appeared on his waist again, and this thing could not be covered by his coat, otherwise it would be like a brocade dress walking at night.

The waist-hung pager, the gray suit and red tie, and the foreign trademark with the cuffs are reluctant to tear off, which is the fashionable style of the rich man in the late 1980s.

Qin Dong had actually wanted to buy a pager for a long time, just like when Gao Ming seized power last time, Huang Bo couldn't find him, Du Yuan even came to the factory, but Xiao Ju's mother asked him to go home to eat dumplings.

With this play, you can enter an era without time and space distance, and you can be found everywhere. However, when the sound of sounds sounded on the streets, pedestrians stopped to cover their waists. Those who didn't know thought that Chinese men had kidney problems in general.

Parking the jeep in front of the door and entering the post office, Du Xiaoju looked at the pagers in the glass counter curiously. In the past two years, following Qin Dong, she seemed to have become accustomed to walking on the eve of the trend of the times. "Dadong, this thing is too expensive."

Seeing the price, Du Xiaoju was shocked. What a guy, a pager priced at 2,858 yuan!

She looked at Qin Dongjun's green shoulder bag, which contained the cash he had just withdrawn from the bank, and was wrapped in newspapers.

Qin Dong was also looking at the things on the counter. This was a Japanese-made "antique": a brown body, a small card cover with a short silver chain that could be pinned on the belt.

The pager's body is vertically and numbers in a single row, and can only display numbers. If someone leaves a message, the "code words" displayed like early telegram codes.

But even such antiques are also a luxury that countless people dream of in this era. Prices of 3,000 or 4,000 yuan have become a symbol of status and identity at this time!

"That year, US President Nixon visited China. When he was visiting the Great Wall, Nixon suddenly made a sound of "Didi..."," Seeing Du Xiaoju nervous in front of the price, Qin Dong joked, "Our accompanying staff were shocked and didn't know what happened. Later, they reported to their superiors and realized that this thing was called a pager."

Qinwan’s paging platform is the first digital paging platform in Shanhai Province. As early as 1984, Guangzhou opened the first digital paging platform in the country. In November of the following year, the wireless paging communication system of the Beijing Telecom Administration Bureau was officially launched.

The spark of the "paging era" will start to set off!

"Comrade, let me see this." Qin Dong clicked a pager across the counter.

The middle-aged woman standing at the counter stood up lazily. She didn't answer the conversation, but looked at Qin Dong and Du Xiaoju. Her eyes swept the two from head to toe, and finally fell on their chests.

Today, Qin Dong took advantage of lunch time to pick up Du Xiaoju from the factory. Both of them were still wearing work clothes, the words Rong beer and biscuit factory made the middle-aged woman seem to have not heard Qin Dong's words.

"Sister, can we take this look?" Du Xiaoju asked softly again.

"Look, what should I do if it is broken? Should you pay it or I pay it?" The middle-aged woman stopped looking at them, turned around and sat back on the chair lazily, with a bag of melon seeds in her hand.

"We don't just look at it, buy it." Qin Dong didn't want his mood to be disturbed, so he lit the counter with his fingers.

"Can ordinary people afford it?" the middle-aged woman scoffed.

Du Xiaoju was a little embarrassed. Everyone around was watching them. Their blue work clothes were very eye-catching in this group of jackets and suits.

"We are not ordinary people, we are ordinary people." Qin Dong teased, "Every ordinary people can afford it!"

Wow—

The people around him burst into laughter, and the middle-aged woman glared at them fiercely and ignored them.

Qin Dong really didn't expect that he couldn't buy a pager if he had money!

"Dadong, let's go." Du Xiaoju pulled Qin Dong's sleeve. Qin Dong still wanted to argue, but Du Xiaoju pulled him out. It just so happened that this thing was too expensive and it was just right for someone not to show it to him.

"I can't afford it and I have to watch it..." The middle-aged woman stared at the backs of the two and added another sentence.

"Hey, why are you pulling me?" Qin Dong couldn't persuade Du Xiaoju and followed him out, "We are here to buy a pager. If we haven't bought the things, how can we go back?"

The two of them attracted a fat, white and middle-aged man in front of the door. He looked at Qin Dong and then looked at the jeep beside him, "Director Qin?"

"Are you?" Qin Dong looked at him and didn't know him. Seeing the middle-aged man staring at them, Du Xiaoju let go of his hand.

"My surname is Guo," the middle-aged man smiled and introduced himself, "Buy beer and find Qin Dong. You know everything in your famous city. Can't remember it? You sent us beer last year! Congratulations, I was elected as a provincial model worker," he smiled and made a gesture of invitation, "Our director asked me to wait for you here. The leader attaches great importance to it. He said that model workers come to buy pagers and must enjoy the policy."

"Director Guo." When the three of them walked back to the counter, the middle-aged woman immediately stood up with a smile on her face. The laziness on her body disappeared. However, when she saw Qin Dong and Du Xiaoju, she was embarrassed to smile, but she still had to laugh, she couldn't do it without laughing!

"Can I, a two-person person, look at the pager?" Qin Dong didn't bother with her and asked with a smile.

Two ordinary people?

Director Guo immediately knew that there was something happening here, but he did not ask on the spot, but just introduced to Qin Dong himself, "These paging stations have just been on the market, um," Qinwan City, there are not many people who can afford it. "We will conduct discount promotions on World Telecom Day in May to give you a discounted price, um..."

He approached Qin Dong and gently said a number, and Du Xiaoju immediately opened her eyes wide.

RMB 1858!

She saved her one year's salary in a moment!

But not everyone is qualified to enjoy this discount. First of all, you can afford to buy this game for thousands of yuan, and you have to save yourself a model worker!

"The service fee is 450 yuan per year, and the Internet access fee is 700 yuan per year, which is a total of 3,000 yuan." Director Guo smiled and introduced. He had heard about Qin Dong that his family opened a restaurant and sold beer by himself, so it was not short of money!

Du Xiaoju's heart was raised again. She thought it was a discount, but she didn't expect that there were so many good things to do!

"Okay," Qin Dong put his bag on the counter and took out the money wrapped in the newspaper from the bag, "Get me four."

Director Guo saw Qin Dong open the newspaper and looked at him with great unity, and immediately couldn't speak.
