Jianbao life

Chapter 17 Computers
Glancing at the time, it was already one o'clock, so Chu Chen went straight to Aunt Zhang's house, planning to re-sign the rental contract and get the broadband work done by the way.

When Chu Chen was about to reach Aunt Zhang's house, he saw Aunt Zhang standing at the door waiting for him from afar.

Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't stop complaining in his heart. After all, it was the money that came into the account, and it was not good to be active. Usually, she asked the property management to help repair the electric lights in the corridor. She had never seen such effort. It is worthy of seeing the money.

Aunt Zhang was very happy to see Chu Chen coming, and warmly invited him into the room, and then made him a cup of bitter and astringent green tea, the taste almost made Chu Chen spit it out immediately.

Then, in a friendly atmosphere, the two parties re-signed the contract. Of course, the rent must have been increased by [-], which Aunt Zhang will not forget even if she is killed.

After handling the renting matters, Chu Chen and Aunt Zhang went to the telecom business hall to handle the broadband business.Originally, the time for broadband installation was uncertain, but fortunately, Aunt Zhang has an acquaintance in Telecom, and she can come to install it tomorrow. Of course, Chu Chen also gave the other party a pack of good cigarettes. After all, China is a society of human relationships. Expressed.

After everything was done, Chu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and made up his mind that after the Spring Festival, he would go to see the house and prepare to buy a house. It is really troublesome if it is not his own house.

When Chu Chen wanted to go back, Aunt Zhang stopped him again and said, "Xiao Chen, your Brother Zhang misses you, and told you to go to his store and go through the door when you have time."

Chu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Brother Zhang never asks me to go to him for no reason. Could it be that he bought another batch of rough stones that didn't perform well?"

The Brother Zhang that Chu Chen mentioned is Aunt Zhang’s son, Zhang Guosheng, who is 35 years old this year. He also has a shop in Antique Street, called Cuiyuanzhai, which specializes in the business of jadeite and rough jadeite.It was precisely because Zhang Guosheng was also doing business in Antique Street that Aunt Zhang heard that Chu Chen had slapped his eyes.

When Chu Chen first came to Panjiayuan, he accidentally found out about the stone gambling industry. He heard many stories about getting rich, and his heart was moved. Fortunately, he could still control his desires, and the money he invested was not too much. However, there are hundreds of dollars less in a month, and thousands of dollars more.

Talking about the stone gambling business, it can be said that nine out of ten bets lose. People often think of how much money someone has made, but never thought that some people lost their fortunes and lost their wives and children.Fortunately, Chu Chen is good at learning, he is not blind, and he is lucky. After a few years, he did not lose too much, and the place where he gambled on stones was Zhang Guosheng's shop.

It can be said that Zhang Guosheng's business is not small, but maybe his son followed his mother, so he has a character of greedy for cheap, so he buys rough stones that do not perform well once or twice a year.Not to mention, there are really people who will buy this kind of stone, and Chu Chen is one of them. The general psychology of buying this kind of stone is to fight big with small things.

Although there are people who buy it, but after all, the quantity is large, and often when the next time I get the goods, the previous one has not been sold out, and as long as this time, Zhang Guosheng will invite them over for reasons such as running out of doors, contacting feelings, etc. Then sell the previous inventory at a certain preferential price.

Originally, when I got the goods, I picked up the leftovers, and after the selection of the customers, it can be seen how the quality of the rough stones is. Most of them are already bricks.But there are also people who buy it, even Chu Chen has bought it several times. The reason is that it is cheap, and secondly, people always have a fluke mentality. Maybe they are lucky and get out of jade.

But over the years, no one has actually cut out jade from that pile of waste rocks.

"Well, I won't know until you go there, I don't care about his affairs at all." Aunt Zhang said in a godly way.

Chu Chen thought, you don't know your son's plucking character, patronizing his business for so many years, and he hasn't even drank tea a few times, if we didn't want us to go to sweep the goods, how could he be so kind to invite me over? , Now that he has the ability, he is a little bit less interested in gambling stones, so he wants to perfunctory Aunt Zhang.

However, his thoughts changed suddenly, and Chu Chen suddenly thought, could his supernatural powers also respond to jadeite?Thinking of this, he couldn't help getting a little excited, wishing he could rush to Zhang Guosheng's shop to try it out.However, he stopped the conflict again, because the chances of the three powers were used up today.

The first time the power was used on the "Time Pot", and later Chu Chen didn't plan to go to the antique market again today, so he used the principle that the power should not be wasted, and used it on the two pots in Zhu Dafu's waiting room. On Zhang Qing's late furniture, and even the current embarrassing situation, he couldn't help but feel like crying.

However, Chu Chen immediately adjusted his mentality again, thinking, anyway, the stone has no long legs and will not run away by itself. If there is really jade in it that was picked up by others, then there is no way, so he said to Aunt Zhang: "Okay, I'll go to Brother Zhang when I install the broadband tomorrow."

As soon as Aunt Zhang heard this, she immediately walked to the telecommunications business hall, and said to Chu Chen as she walked, "Xiao Chen, go and do your work. I'll go and urge my friend to speed up."

Chu Chen was speechless for a while, feeling that his head was covered with black lines.

************************************
The next day, Chu Chen still got up at [-] o'clock, and then went to punch for a while. When he came back, he had breakfast on the way, and went home to turn on the computer in the living room and start tinkering.

When I got home yesterday, I was halfway there when I received a call from Uncle Wu, saying that his computer had been configured, and asked him to go to the store and work with the staff to take the computer back.

Chu Chen happily went to get back his computer, but at the same time, he was a little slandering. Does God dislike his richness? Otherwise, why didn't he keep the 5 yuan in his hand warm, and spent more than half of it like this? out.

The whole computer cost more than 3000 yuan, but the price is right for the configuration of the computer. I heard that the CPU is Pentium 40 launched this year, and the hard disk also has [-]G, which is much better than Uncle Wu’s computer. Uncle is jealous.

When the computer was brought, the system was already installed, and several games were installed, such as Monopoly, Red Police, etc. However, Chu Chen had no love for the Red Police. After the computer was installed, he started to fight Monopoly, but he is not interested in the foreign characters in it, who told him that he has some nationalistic tendencies.

Yesterday, Chu Chen played Monopoly until one o'clock in the morning, and he felt like he forgot to sleep and eat. Fortunately, since his boxing skills broke through to Xiao Zhoutian, he has lost a lot of sleep, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get up at six o'clock today.

When Chu Chen still had three plots of land and was about to win, he heard a knock on the door. When he opened the door, it turned out that it was the staff who installed the broadband.He looked at the time, it was just after eight o'clock, and he couldn't help admiring Aunt Zhang's skill. It was probably because Aunt Zhang pestered her friend so hard yesterday that she could be so efficient.

Although there is an acquaintance relationship, Chu Chen still handed tea and cigarettes to the staff member. As the saying goes, eating people's mouths is soft, and people's hands are short. This is the only way for Chu Chen's life in the capital in the past few years .

Sure enough, seeing that Chu Chen was so enthusiastic, the staff installed his broadband beautifully and firmly, and gave him some telephone cables and computer cables in case of emergencies. After the work was finally completed, Chu Chen gave him another That man had a pack of cigarettes, which can be said to be a happy event for everyone, and he sighed from time to time, it is convenient for others and convenient for himself, the ancients did not expect me.

After the broadband was installed, Chu Chen couldn't wait to get online.He first casually browsed a few forums about antiques. To be honest, there were not too many online materials in this period, and there were only a few antique forums, and the quality of the forums was also uneven.

After several comparisons, Chu Chen still felt that the forum introduced by Uncle Wu was the most popular and had the most information, so Chu Chen registered an account on that forum and browsed through several sections at random.

However, most of the questions on the forum were beginners' questions, and Chu Chen couldn't help answering a few, and he was regarded as a master by several people after a while, which made him a little ashamed.

Chu Chen couldn't help sighing, how important it is to have a good master in the antique world.Fortunately, when he first entered this industry, Uncle Wu took him with him, and later guided him by hand, which saved him a lot of detours, sweat, and a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen felt even more grateful to Uncle Wu, and vowed to respect him even more in the future.

The world of the Internet is very vast, especially for those who are new to it, they are very curious about everything. This is the case for Chu Chen at this time. The most important thing is that he can communicate with Tibetan friends from all over the country, which makes him very happy. in.

Moreover, Chu Chen's knowledge is already solid, and now he has the ability of photographic memory. In terms of porcelain, he can be said to be no worse than some old masters, and the questions he answers are all meaningful.Moreover, he is humble, and in just two or three hours, his popularity in the forum has greatly increased, and he has also chatted with a few people and added friends.

After exchanging some ideas with some friends on the forum, Chu Chen looked at the time and found that it was twelve o'clock before he knew it. He couldn't help but wonder, is this considered to be playing around?So he said hello to his friends on the forum, and he turned off the phone and went to eat.

After eating, after Chu Chen took a nap, he walked to Zhang Guosheng's Cuiyuan Zhai in high spirits.

On the way to Cuiyuanzhai, he happened to pass by the place where Chu Chen often practiced. He missed the environment after a few days, so he decided to pass by to have a look.

Regular stalls in the market are also fixed stalls, but they are very expensive and cannot be sold without a certain amount of funds. Compared with temporary stalls, the price can be much lower. Depending on the location, it usually ranges from 25 yuan to [-] yuan a day.

Thanks to Uncle Wu's management, Chu Chen can usually rent a better location at a lower price, and the location is almost within a fixed range, so that repeat customers are easy to find, so after a few years, Chu Chen's old There are still a lot of customers.
