Rebirth of the 80s New Farmer

Chapter 1403 Pager

After coming out of the teahouse, a group of people came to the street.

"Mr. Wan! Where are we going now?"

Wan Feng asked Ye Qianwen while walking: "Is it so difficult to buy a mobile phone in Shenzhen now?"

Ye Qianwen shook his head: "I can't buy it at all, even if I ask someone to buy it."

"And what about the pager?"

What surprised Wan Feng was that Ye Qianwen dared to show a blank expression to the pager.

"How did you become a bastard, you don't even know the BP machine?"

"It turned out to be a BP machine. If you just said the BP machine, it's over. You got me a pager that confused me. It seems that pagers can be bought, but it seems that few people wear that thing?"

In [-], the first paging station in Huaguo appeared in Shanghai. With the BP machine at that time, users could only receive call signals, and they had to call the paging station to find out the call-back number.

In [-], Guangzhou launched the digital paging station, and the call-back number could be displayed directly on the BP machine, which greatly improved the convenience of using the pager.

However, this change did not bring about a qualitative change in the development of the BP machine. In the next few years, this advanced instant messaging tool at the time received a cold reception.Because people didn't understand the use of the small black box that could make noise, and the price of more than 2000 yuan was already a year's salary for ordinary people at that time, the development of BP machines has been tepid.

It wasn't until the 1990 Beijing Asian Games that the staff of the conference wore a BB machine that the BB machine began to be well known by the general public and began to enter thousands of households.

The wireless paging industry in Shenzhen was established in October 1984, and it was the first paging station established by China Telecom.

But like the situation in the whole country, it is still half dead.

Even Ye Qianwen, who has been in Shenzhen for more than two years, didn't see a few people wearing that thing.

"Where can I buy it?"

"Sage!"

Wan Feng slapped his head, SEG is specialized in electronic products, of course the paging station will set up a stall in SEG.

"Let's go to Sage now."

Everyone didn't quite understand why Wan Feng suddenly asked about the pager, and then went to Saige.

But without any objection, he turned around and ran towards Saige.

The Seg Market is very big, and every small stall is very small. There is not much difference between the difficulty of finding a small stall and finding a needle in a haystack.

Having an acquaintance lead the way will save a lot of time.

Xu Bin became the acquaintance Wan Feng expected.

It's a pity that this acquaintance is half-baked, and Xu Bin doesn't know where there is a pager in this hall.

Fortunately, the neighbors of his stall knew where the pager stand was, and the girl with a snub nose took Wan Feng and the others to the pager stand.

The stall was more than one meter wide and several meters long, and was blocked by tall baffles on the left and right, like a dark corridor.

There are only two brands of BB machines in the counter: Motorola and Panasonic, both of which are the earliest vertical BP machines that can be viewed vertically.

This is the ugliest model pager among pagers.

Motorola's best-looking digital pager Wan Feng always thought it was a pocket-sized horizontal model, and he used that model in his last life.

It's just such an ugly pager, and the price of each one is [-] yuan.

There is also a piece of paper next to it that says 120 yuan for network access and [-] yuan for service fees.

Paralysis is so expensive.

In his last life, Wan Feng owned a pager in 30, when the pager faded away. At that time, it was free to connect to the Internet, and the monthly service fee was only [-] yuan.

But now it is [-], and it is normal to be more expensive.

There was no customer at the counter, and a young waitress was doing manicure leisurely at the counter.

The girl manicured her nails very seriously, which is really a sign of being idle and having nothing to do.

Seeing Wan Feng and his group approaching, he just looked up, then continued to lower his head to trim her nails.

There are a lot of people coming and going here every day, but there are very few people who buy them. The girl simply turns a blind eye in order not to waste her expression and smile.

Wan Feng knocked on the counter glass: "Miss! Buy a pager."

The little girl manicuring her nails looked at Wan Feng in disbelief: "Do you want to buy a pager?"

Wan Feng was speechless, six people came to your counter without buying a pager to watch your manicure!

Wan Feng nodded.

The girl then put down the nail clippers in her hand and came to the counter: "Which style do you want to buy?"

There are only two types of BB machines in the counter, and there is not even a choice.

"Can you offer a discount on the BB machines you sell?"

The girl shook her head without even thinking about it. The boss said that if you buy three or five sets, you can get a moderate discount, but there is no discount for one or two sets.

"What if I buy more? For example, if I want to buy ten units, how much discount can I get?"

"I don't know about this, I have to ask the boss." She had never met anyone who bought ten pagers.

"Immediately notify your boss that a big client has arrived."

The girl was dubious: "Do you really want to buy ten pagers?"

"Do you think I'm joking with you? Hurry up, it's best to let your boss arrive within ten minutes, we are in a hurry."

The girl locked the counter, asked the neighbor next door to look after it, and then swished out to call.

There is a public phone in the mall, and her boss is wearing a pager. It is not difficult to find his boss.

"What's the use of this thing?" Ye Qianwen asked while looking at the pager in the counter.

At that time, many people didn't know what such a gadget could do.

"Find someone to use."

"It can find someone, how can it find it?"

"It's very simple. Each pager has a fixed number and a paging station. Suppose I want to find you, I will call the paging station where your pager is located, and let the paging lady page you. At this time, your The pager will make a beeping sound, and you know someone is looking for you, and you will see the phone number looking for you when you take out the pager."

"and then?"

"Then you just look for a phone to call you back and that's it. Do you all understand?"

Everyone nodded in unison.

Ye Qianwen blinked her eyes and asked a question from a novel angle: "Then what if you can't find a phone?"

"Then don't answer it. Don't worry, there will be more and more public phones in the future. There will be rows of phones on both sides of the street. There is no possibility of missing the phone."

After the IC card phone comes out, there are phone booths everywhere.

In more than ten years, more and more people will own mobile phones, and returning calls will not be a problem at all.

But then again, when mobile phones are almost popularized, BB machines will also withdraw from the stage of history.

This thing has been booming for a few years. When the Shenzhen BB phone was the most popular, it was said that every three people had a pager, and a paging lady paged more than [-] times a month at most.

How about letting Zhang Xuan do the pager?
Such an idea popped into Wan Feng's head like lightning.
