England 1986

Chapter 371 Encountering a Princess
At this moment, Allen didn't know how to describe his mood. In this day and age, when the Internet just appeared, it took a long time to open a web page, and it took a long time to load a picture. Who made this smartphone?

Could it be a traverser?

"What do you mean by a smartphone? Take one and let me see."

Allen even walked up to the counter of this IBM brand regardless of his identity, and said to the waiter.

"Hello sir."

The waiter watched such a large group of people come and surround the counter.

Those burly men in black in front looked like bodyguards, and the lady looked like a secretary.

And the man who spoke
He doesn't look like a boss, but like a rich second generation, or a nobleman
?

noble?

Thinking of this, the waiter straightened his back subconsciously, and looked at the other person's blond hair. If this person is really a nobleman, there is a high probability that he is a British nobleman, so he must be treated well.

Thinking of this, the waiter's smile became brighter, and he explained: "Our smartphone is not yet on the market. There are only models in the counter. Now it is in the pre-sale and display stage."

"Take out the model and tell me about it."

Allen didn't look behind him at all, just as he bent his waist, Yassin Raniya pushed a small swivel chair under Allen very well, just enough for him to sit on it.

Holding a so-called pre-sale smartphone model in hand.

Allen looked left and right, and to be honest, he was slightly disappointed when he looked closely.

This thing is slightly bigger than ordinary mobile phones. The overall shape of the whole phone is like a straight mobile phone, but the area in the middle of the mobile phone, the previous mobile phone, this place will be set as a button area.

As for this mobile phone, the buttons have been cancelled, and instead a long screen has been installed.

It's a model. It can't be turned on. The waiter bent over and explained to Allen with a brochure.

This mobile phone is the first generation of smart phones jointly created by IBM and BellSouth!
Compared with the current mobile phones on the market that only have the function of making calls, this thing actually integrates functions such as digital assistant, pager, fax machine, calendar, world clock, calculator, notepad, email, games and so on.

Such a comparison, in theory, this is indeed a smart phone, so fucking smart, it can send emails, and it can also connect to the Internet!
It's like when everyone is still fighting with swords, someone suddenly pulls out an old-fashioned single-shot rifle.

Although they are all backward, the latter is obviously an era behind the former.

Wei Wei was a little disappointed, but Alan was very excited to see this thing today.

How should I put it, it's like a person who travels through the long river of time, and suddenly feels that the long river of time is flowing.

Allen has not played mobile phone or computer games for many years.

Too much time has passed, and he has become accustomed to writing letters and reporting in person. It was not until today when he saw this mobile phone that Alan realized the reality that a new era is coming.

In a few years, the technology tree of mobile phones will be greatly improved, first reducing the size, then adding functions, and finally getting out of hand, from 2G to 3G, then 4G, etc.
With the development of the Internet, life will become more and more colorful in the future. Will the slow pace of life of old British people change?
Alan didn't know, anyway, he was looking forward to this day. The electronics factory at home that was stolen from Li and his son was prepared for this day. Although the electronics factory can only manufacture the most garbage single-board game consoles, but As long as you give him time, you can also get a share in this business in the future.

at the moment
Allen looked at the mobile phone model in his hand again, hehe
Americans, it's time for Mr. Allen to poach the wall again. You have such talents. You can actually make such a "smart phone" in this technological environment, so don't blame Mr. Allen. Jumped out to pick peaches.

Judging from Allen's experience, even though their mobile phone looks fancy, there is a high probability that the sales will be rubbish by then.

Because its screen is too big, the battery can’t be made too big, and the standby time is very short. In addition, the current network environment is so bad, and it’s even connected to a gross network to clean up some flashy things. It can be said that their The path of smartphones is both right and wrong. When their phone fails, it will be time to poach themselves!
"When will your mobile phone be officially launched?"

"Sir, according to the plan, if everything goes well, we will go on the market in the second half of next year. We are still in the final verification stage of the mobile phone. If there are special circumstances, there is a small probability that the release will be delayed. You know, the current technology on this mobile phone , is really too advanced."

The waiter kept smiling all the way and tried his best to introduce.

Allen nodded, saying it easily, isn't that just painting a pie?
We have to wait at least a year, or nearly two years, to make this thing
What will mobile phones look like by then?

At least at least, the miniaturization of mobile phones must be successful. At that time, when people hold a small mobile phone the size of a palm, and your family makes such a large mobile phone, it will be no wonder that you will not die.

No matter how many functions are useful, the main function of mobile phones these days is to make calls, which is convenient, but if they are too big, compared with small mobile phones, the disadvantages are too obvious.

With the bottom line in his mind, Allen put down the mobile phone model, made a reward gesture to Xiaoshi, nodded to the waiter without saying a word, got up and left.

A bodyguard hurriedly trotted for two steps, counted out a few fifty-denomination pounds under the surprised eyes of the waiter, handed it to her, and said, "Your Excellency rewarded you, thank you for your hard work."

After saying this, the bodyguard trotted two more steps and walked away behind the team.

After leaving the mobile phone store and other places, to be honest, Allen suddenly felt that he had nothing to visit.

The things inside, like clothes, he no longer wears this kind of "mass style" clothes. At his level, even the underwear is hand-made, and the outer products, he doesn't wear them at all. wear.

In addition to these, other things, such as jewelry, there is a goldsmith at home, so I don’t need him to buy other things.
Really gone.

Damn it, I came to Harrods today, it's so fucking annoying, the decoration is rubbish, and there's nothing to buy.

Allen sniffed, and motioned Yasin Rania to take him to a coffee shop or something, and sit for a while and have a cup of coffee.

He couldn't just walk around and leave. It would appear that he was too perfunctory, and it wouldn't be good if he was misunderstood by the people below.

Although not many people know that Harrods has changed owners, Allen still plans to stay a little longer to maintain a good image.

On the large sofa, Allen crossed his legs.

With a coffee cup in his hand, he looked at the street view outside the window. To be honest, Allen didn't like to look at this kind of street view with extremely dense traffic.

Prosperity is prosperity, but it is noisy.

He was used to living in that damn place in Wales, and when he came to this big city with urban style, he instinctively felt uncomfortable, and he had to keep everything in check, and he couldn't let it go like he did when he was at home. Very aggrieved.

However, when I think that I won't be able to stay in London for a few days, let's treat it as a change of taste occasionally. Thinking about it this way, looking at the red bus that just passed by on the street, Alan's mood improved again.

Yassin Rania sat not far from Alan. As an entourage, she could not sit directly opposite. She understood the rules. At this time, she leaned slightly to one side with her legs together, The sitting posture is correct, like a conscientious little secretary, drinking coffee and taking a nap with the boss here.

Step on.
There was a rush of footsteps and the sound of high-heeled shoes, and a slightly irritable female voice was mixed in with the chaotic footsteps.

"As I said, you stay away from me. I finally came to London once, and I bought such a small amount of things. I am a princess, and I only spent such a small amount of money. As for it? As for it? Our family has no money Is it gone?"

"Your Highness. Your Highness, please slow down. The things here are too expensive. Before coming, Your Majesty said that your consumption limit"

An old man who looked like a housekeeper followed behind the girl, trying to persuade her.

The girl was still holding two shopping bags in her hand, and she glanced around. At this time, the cafe was full, and there was an empty seat directly opposite Allen, but there were several big men around him who were not easy to mess with at first glance. so that no one dared to sit across from him.

But this girl is very courageous, especially when she saw Alan, her eyes lit up subconsciously, her footsteps seemed uncontrollable, she walked to the sofa opposite Alan involuntarily, and spoke in a very ladylike manner Asked: "Hello. Is there anyone here? I'm tired from shopping, and I want to sit here and rest for a while."

Allen frowned slightly. He was the most annoying and noisy. Before this came over, he heard the blah blah all the way. Now seeing her walking across from him like this, hey
It would be rude to refuse directly. Allen looked at the lady in the pink skirt expressionlessly and nodded slightly, which was regarded as a response.

Marta Louise looked at Allen expectantly and nodded. Although he didn't speak, Marta Louise still felt very happy.

Women will subconsciously be more tolerant towards handsome guys, let alone such a handsome guy with such good looks, no amount of tolerance can be overstated.

Although this person seems very cold and doesn't like to talk, but... in front of his appearance, everything is not a problem!

Call the butler to order, after ordering, Marta Louise sat down very ladylikely, tilted her head and gave Alan a lot, bent over after thinking about it, stretched out her right hand and said, "Hello, thank you Allow me to sit here and rest, my name is Marta Louise, from Norway, nice to meet you."

Little Stone frowned at the first moment when he heard the little girl's introduction. When she said that she was from Norway, Little Stone looked carefully at the face of this lady named Marta Louise. , and then as if thinking of something, hurried to Alan's sofa, bent down and whispered in Alan's ear: "Young master. She seems to be the eldest princess of Norway."

"Ok?"

What is the princess?

I can meet the princess everywhere I go shopping?
Allen subconsciously looked up at Marta Louise who was still outstretched.

This person's looks.
A bit kitsch, although she doesn't look too old, European and American women will look very precocious, and generally fifteen or sixteen years old look very mature.

If I remember correctly, if she is really the eldest princess of Norway, she should be around 20 years old this year, a few years younger than herself.

People of her age give people a very mature feeling. This feeling, coupled with her appearance and the way she looks at her, give people the feeling that she is very romantic.

Thinking of this, Allen reluctantly put on a smile on his face, handed over his right hand, gently shook Marta Louise's little hand and said his name smoothly.

"Alan, Alan Hill."

Unexpectedly, as soon as her fingers touched her hand, Marta Louise's index finger scratched Alan's palm dishonestly.

"."

Who am I, where am I, have I been seduced?

It's rare for Allen to meet such a straightforward person.

"Alan Hill? This name looks so familiar. Are you the Earl who likes to make movies? Earl of Carmarthen?"

When Marta Louise heard Alan's name, her eyes became brighter, and she didn't let go of Alan's hand, and asked directly with a curious face.

"It should be me."

Allen exerted a little force on his right hand, and withdrew the hand held by Marta Louise. From the corner of his eye, he looked at Yasin Rania, who had been watching the excitement.

"You go. Do a survey for me. From the perspective of an ordinary customer, go buy something you like, and report to me later. Just tell me about your shopping experience."

Now that they have been recognized by others, it is not easy for Allen to run away, but there is a small light bulb by his side, so he feels a little uncomfortable. He thinks of a random reason and plans to send Yasin Rania away first.

"boss?"

Yassin Rania was a little confused after listening to Allen's explanation. What is this request?
"It's just to spend money. I want to see if there are any shortcomings here. Buy whatever you want, go, little stone! Give her a card, and send someone to follow her and help her carry things."

Allen didn't bother to explain, and waved her to go quickly.

Marta Louise smiled as she watched Alan drive away his little secretary like a domineering president, and the smile on her face grew wider.

This is the traditional aristocracy of Great Britain, it is grand!

Although their family, in theory, is also related to Great Britain, her ancestors are also descendants of Queen Victoria, and even her father, the current King Harald V, has the right of succession to the King of England.

But they are all nobles, and the difference between them is too great.

She has to be careful when buying anything, and she can't afford even slightly expensive things. Even if she buys some ordinary cosmetics, the housekeeper will chatter and look at others.

So generous to the secretary!

What does it mean to buy casually? !

If you can.
Thinking of this, Marta Louise looked at Allen even more wrongly.

She has a very carefree personality, and now that she meets Alan, she fell into it immediately.

After sending Yasin Rania away, Allen glanced at Marta Louise and asked, "Norwegian? Are you the eldest princess of King Harald V?"
