May 9th.

Yanjing.

"Mom, I have a girlfriend..."

"Consumption in big cities is a bit higher. I want to pay more for living expenses!"

"Not much, just give me five thousand..."

"No, you really don't need to, you don't have to come here in person..."

"..."

Jiang Kailong hung up the phone.

Looking at the old Nokia mobile phone in his hand, he felt it was an eyesore.

Every time he called home, he would hide in the bathroom, for fear of letting others know that he was using an old Nokia brick phone.

University……

What a strange place!

Jiang Kailong, who comes from a remote rural area, originally thought that he would be obsessed with novels for the rest of his life and then live a college life without fighting against the world.

but……

I don't know since when, he began to feel inexplicably inferior.

Maybe one day, I learned that a piece of clothing owned by dormitory director Qi Haifeng costs two thousand yuan. Maybe, I learned that the students around me are basically using new smart phones? Maybe it was because in the dormitory, all the roommates started to have girlfriends, even the nerd Lin Cheng had a girl by his side...

Jiang Kailong, who was immersed in the novel, naturally didn't care.

However, the pleasure he gets from the novel is naturally short-lived. When he comes out of the novel and enters this reality, he will inevitably feel a huge sense of gap in his heart.

He is not a rich second generation, he has no special powers, he is not smart, and he is not handsome. He is just an ordinary person through and through.

Even after a semester, except for a few people in the dormitory, the rest of the classmates didn't even know who he was.

This is sad.

night.

Deep.

There was a long queue at the entrance of the Apple flagship store in Yanjing Joy City.

Jiang Kailong is also lined up among them...

He accidentally saw an advertisement for Apple 4. After seeing the advertisement, Apple 4 was like a beam of light, piercing his heart.

Then, he heard Qi Haifeng, a second-generation rich man in the dormitory, "showing off" his iPhone 4 in front of him, the flexibility of sliding to unlock, the clear camera, and the complete functions...

Everything made him stunned.

Mobile phones can actually be so awesome!

For the first time, a desire appeared in his heart, especially when Qi Haifeng told his classmates in the dormitory in a regretful tone that ordinary people would not be able to get the iPhone 4...

His heart suddenly trembled!

Ordinary people can't get it, so I...

The less a person has, the more he wants something!

Coming from a rural area, he wanted to own this mobile phone for the first time, as if this mobile phone could make him superior to others. Even if he was not superior, it could make him equal to everyone in the school.

That exquisite silhouette, powerful functions, top European and American technology...

Everything made his heart beat!

then……

On the night of May 9th, he took a sick leave, left his dormitory and ran to the Joy City Apple flagship store in Yanjing.

When he came, he kept calling his family.

I'm afraid that I don't have enough money in my card to buy an Apple 4.

When he arrived at the Apple flagship store, he was shocked to find that the whole mall was packed with people buying iPhone 4.

The most exaggerated thing is that he even saw a buddy come over with a quilt and tent, and actually lay down in the team.

"Sorry, it's out of stock now. It won't be available until tomorrow..."

"Then they are lining up..."

"They're waiting for tomorrow!"

"Oh my god, are you crazy? Wait until tomorrow?"

"yes!"

Apple’s flagship store has long been sold out.

Jiang Kailong looked at the long queue like he was crazy. When he asked about it, he realized that those people in the queue were actually planning to stay up all night and wait until tomorrow to grab the goods!

crazy!

crazy!

Jiang Kailong visited many shopping malls in a row and found that no matter what shopping mall it was, there was basically a long queue.

He took a deep breath.

“This phone sold for more than 4,000 yuan, and now it’s been sold to more than 10,000 yuan!”

"Go crazy!"

"I think it's crazy too, but as long as you can get the goods, you can make 6,000 yuan immediately by shouting with your mobile phone. Do you believe it or not?"

"What? Someone's got a gun? Where? Ten thousand dollars, I want it!"

"..."

Jiang Kailong heard the conversation.

Then, his heart pounded, and an unspeakable vanity rose in his heart again.

He started to stand in line, imagining that he could grab a mobile phone, and then what...

Waiting is often the most tiring thing. In the past, while waiting, he would read novels to pass the time, but it was obvious that he had no intention of doing so now.

He kept looking at the bank card.

The balance in the bank card has always been one thousand yuan and has never changed.

He suddenly felt angry. He called his family and his father told him that there was no bank in his hometown and he had to ride a motorcycle to the bank in town to withdraw money. However, when the motorcycle arrived, the bank there was already closed. And they can’t use the ATM…

When he heard this, he suddenly lost control of his emotions. He even wanted to scold his parents on the phone for why they were so stupid. They only knew farming all their lives, so they couldn't be more advanced and learn something useful?

But he endured it in the end.

"Baby, is it urgent over there?"

"It's urgent."

"Then let's go borrow some money from relatives first?"

"Okay, but can I send money?"

"I can't pay at night!"

“What about online remittance?”

"I can't do it..."

"Mom, I'm really in a hurry, I won't lie to you, I'm really in a hurry..."

"Well, don't worry, mom will find a way, mom will find a way, mom will definitely find a way!"

"..."

In the end, he didn't curse, just stood in line and waited.

Time passed little by little.

He kept looking at the bank card text messages on his phone, but the remittance information on the bank card never changed.

He waited until three o'clock in the morning.

The text message finally reminded me that 6,000 yuan had been received!

He breathed a sigh of relief!

At this moment, there was a noise from the front of the team, and then a truck drove over.

It seemed to be a delivery truck for Apple mobile phones. Because of the long queue, Jiang Kailong couldn't see clearly what was going on in front of him, but he didn't see it clearly until a few people grabbed the mobile phones and were excitedly surrounded by people buying them. got something.

That’s the new iPhone 4!

The person who grabbed the phone sold the iPhone 4 in an instant under Jiang Kailong's nose, making a total profit of more than 6,000 yuan.

And those who bought the mobile phone excitedly took it and made calls everywhere...

The commotion in front of the queue seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. It seemed that there was some kind of conflict between the users and the staff of the flagship store. Then the flagship store announced that the store would not officially open its doors until nine o'clock tomorrow to sell Apple 4s. Apple phones were not allowed to be bought or resold midway. !

It seems that the store clerks bought the several iPhone models that were sold and made a huge profit!

Jiang Kailong waited until eight o'clock in the morning.

His head was a little groggy. He called the nerd Lin Cheng and asked Lin Cheng to take a leave for him and not go to class today.

At nine o'clock, when the flagship store opened, suddenly the whole shopping mall exploded, there was a burst of noise in front, and the queue that had been stagnant all night finally started to move forward.

But it only lasted for more than an hour, and the team quickly stopped again.

"sold out?"

"What, the goods sold out so quickly?"

"The stock is so limited?"

"Then I didn't queue for nothing?"

"..."

Jiang Kailong stared at the team that stopped in front of him in stunned silence, so shocked that he didn't even know what to say.

A tall young man in front turned his head: "Some people have to queue for two days to buy goods, and you are only on the first day of queue!"

"That……"

"So, do you know why I brought a quilt and snacks here?"

"???"

………………………………

When a mobile phone is not only a communication tool, but also represents "vanity", "nobility" and "luxury"...

Then, it set off a storm.

noon.

Zhang Sheng saw an interview video from Yanjing.

In the news, Zhang Sheng saw an acquaintance.

"When did you start lining up?"

"Since last night..."

"Then do you still want to queue now?"

"Keep lining up and wait until tomorrow!"

"Maybe I won't be able to buy it tomorrow?"

"Then wait for the day after tomorrow..."

"Where are you eating?"

"I asked someone to buy a pack of instant noodles..."

Zhang Sheng saw Jiang Kailong eating instant noodles while being interviewed by reporters.

So far, there has never been any mobile phone in Chinese history that can make users so crazy when it is released...

Reporters naturally understood that this was a historic event, so they naturally chased the heat.

After Zhang Sheng saw Jiang Kailong, he felt a trace of sadness.

but……

Zhang Sheng didn't feel so crazy.

In the original world, a high school student actually sold his kidneys for an Apple 4. After experiencing a short period of vanity and being admired, he spent the rest of his life paralyzed in bed.

Zhang Sheng briefly recovered from his memories...

Afterwards, I walked out of the hotel and walked on the streets of Yangcheng.

When he walked to the mobile phone store, he saw long queues.

"I want to resell my iPhone 4, brand new and original, who wants it!"

"I want I want!"

"How much do you add?"

"Three thousand!"

"I won't sell it for three thousand!"

"Five thousand, five thousand, sell it to me and I'll add five thousand!"

"Six thousand!"

"Okay, just six thousand!"

"..."

From time to time, bursts of excited, as if crazy, sounds could be heard in the crowd.

Zhang Sheng stopped and watched for a while, looking at the expressions of the young men and women lining up, feeling the penetration of "capital values".

Capital is "creating gods" again.

evening.

He returned to the hotel.

Then……

He got a call.

The call was from Xu Bowen...

"Mr. Zhang! I have invited a group of factory leaders to come to the hotel conference room. Where are you?"

"I'm downstairs, come up right now!"

"good!"
