Chapter 722: Can you take a look?
"I don't know what to buy, go to the place to see it again," Eric touched the hair that Linda Ivangolin Stadt made messy and asked the driver in the front row: "Is there a Best Buy nearby?" ?"
Carter Moen recently took a break. The driver is another bodyguard in the Eric security team. It happened to be a New Yorker. Suddenly he saw Eric, who had a big change in his image. He even questioned whether the boss was dropped or not. He spoke and decided, "The Fifth Avenue is there, next to Bryant Park."
"Just go there," Eric nodded and told the driver to drive.
Best Buy is the largest electronics retail chain in the United States. Linda remembers the walkman that Eric played with at breakfast, knowing that it should be related to this matter.
Time has passed after work, the road is not crowded, the car took less than ten minutes to travel from the Upper East Side to the Best Buy chain near Bryant Park.
Eric took Linda out of the car and there was no parking nearby, so the driver drove away.
On the working day, it is also the working time. The people on the Fifth Avenue are not too many. However, after the car left, the two people standing on the side of the road still caught the attention of some pedestrians. It wasn't that Eric and Linda were recognized. Linda's subtle makeup skills made Eric himself not recognize himself. The main reason for being noticed was that the contrast between the two people was a bit big.
Eric’s hair was messy at this time. The original handsome face was modified by Linda. It was green and mediocre. He was originally twenty-five years old. At this time, it looks more like twenty-headed, because today The clothes changed, and the light gray shirt on the body was slightly wrinkled, and it looked like a college student who was not trimmed.
On the other hand, Linda, her hair, turned into a bun, with big sunglasses and a red lips. Looks radiant. The black knee-length dress is tightly wrapped in an exquisite slender body, with a Prada bag in hand, and a decorative fur vest on the shoulders, adding a bit of aristocratic temperament. more importantly. This woman's foot is still stepping on the hate sky high, she was originally the same size as Eric, this time in the height and temperament, Eric is completely set off like a bag.
I noticed that the passers-by looked at me with a slightly disdainful look in the envy, and looked at the woman who was next to her. The Erik smiled and said, "Are you very proud now?"
Linda thought Eric was angry. Quickly and intimately holding his arm, smiled and said: "Ah, I want to make the same makeup as you, but people do not like it."
Eric didn't believe her words, but she didn't feel much in her heart. The two worlds were human beings, and they stood in the current position. The views of outsiders will not affect him.
Let Linda smack on himself, Eric pushed the glass door of Best Buy and walked inside the store. The hall was full of large household appliances. I looked at the distribution of the goods and took Linda inward and said, "Do you know that our current situation is very compatible with some kind of ethos in the European court era."
"What?" Linda, like Eric, ignored the eyes of the people around him and asked, "What?"
“The European ladies at that time were very popular to support more talented young people as lovers, and those young people also liked to eat this soft rice.”
Linda smiled and said: "I have never heard of it, you must be editing, huh, huh."
"Of course not a compilation, many historical celebrities have eaten this soft rice."
Linda still doesn't believe it. Asked: "Who is there?"
Eric thought for a moment and said, "Rousseau."
Linda nodded: "I want to hear about it."
"Balzak."
Linda's small face under the sunglasses showed a surprised look: "Wow, really?"
Eric nodded: "And Tchaikovsky."
Linda’s mouth was slightly open, and her face was unbelievable. After a while, it seemed as if I suddenly entered the play, and I waved the Prada bag in my hand: "Little Ike, I want to pick whatever I want, I will buy it for you."
"..."
Linda seems to be a little excited, forgetting to keep the voice down, and the few guests and waiters in the store have noticed that they are very uncomfortable men and women. It was a wave of contemptuous eyes that came to Eric.
Through the area of the electricity, Eric just saw Apple's brand counter, and led Linda to go.
After a cursory look, Eric can't afford to look at the ‘retro-style’ Macintosh and poer wave ok notebooks, and the laptops he often uses have become ibm's thinkpad. Leaving Jobs, the design of Apple products can only be described as bad.
However, it is a small thing similar to a tablet that caught the attention of Eric.
I noticed that the salesperson who had been sneaked at Linda from time to time to see that he was obviously not pleasing to the eye took the tablet out of the counter. Eric roughly played it and saw the 'on' logo above. This should be Apple's early Newton tablet.
The salesman watched Eric clumsily fiddling with the tablet in his hand, and even tapped his fingers on it, his eyes were unabashedly scornful, and it was not awkward to catch a big beauty like Linda. . Deliberately, Eric used his fingers to slap on the screen in vain for a while before handing the stylus to the past. He said in a succinct manner: "Sir, this tablet requires a stylus."
"Oh, I forgot this," Eric muttered, picking up the stylus, and it was smoother to write and draw.
"This is Apple's latest Newton mp110 series, with advanced handwriting recognition, very suitable for high-end business people, the price is 799 US dollars," the salesperson deliberately bite at the price of 799 US dollars, for most ordinary people $799 is definitely not cheap. Compared to the simple function of this tablet, it can even be described as a luxury item. However, to his disappointment, Eric has nothing to do with these.
Instead, Linda, who was wearing sunglasses, picked up her eyebrows slightly, and her mouth again showed a mischievous smile.
Eric tried out the functions of the notepad, memo, calendar and other functions on the tablet. Then he looked up and asked the salesperson: "What is the material of this machine screen?"
"What?" The salesman slammed.
"I mean, what is the material of the touch screen of this machine, stn or tft?"
The sales clerk understood this, but failed to answer it, and noticed the smile of Linda’s mouth. Even more embarrassed, said: "This, I am not very clear."
Eric asked again: "What type of battery is that?"
This point is clear to the salesperson, "It uses the latest lithium-ion battery developed by Sony. The capacity is more than twice that of mainstream nickel-metal hydride batteries."
“Oh,” Eric nodded and continued. “How big is the storage capacity, and what type of memory chip is it using?”
The sales clerk was speechless again. Hey, he thinks that Eric must be deliberately martyrating himself, and he is angry and angry: "Sir, I am just a salesperson, not an engineer. Please don't make trouble here?"
Eric hasn't spoken yet. Linda didn't want to, and said, "Hey, I don't know what to do as a salesperson. I still have this attitude. Be careful, I will complain to you."
The salesperson put on a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. He said, "This lady, please don't use your fake Prada to dangle in front of me. My girlfriend also has a similar handbag, a genuine store. Buy, you look at this fake is a fake, I even suspect that you two are likely to be liar, if you continue to trouble, I will call the security."
The bags in Linda's hands are limited in size, which is very different from the ones sold in the store. At this time, I did not expect to be faked in the first place. My heart was speechless and turned to look at Eric, revealing a look that I could not help you.
You can't pull Lafayette to identify it.
Eric shrugged slightly. He is also lazy and is planning to take Linda away. A white-haired white man walks too fast and asks the salesperson: "Jack, what happened here?"
"They..." The salesman named Jack immediately whispered to complain.
After listening to the middle-aged man, he waved his hand and let him leave. He turned his head and said something to Eric. When I saw Eric's appearance, my eyes couldn't help but look up. I looked at it carefully. I still couldn't be sure, but I didn't dare to neglect. I said, "Sir, I am the manager of this store, Ritter Jackman, you. Can you call me Reiter, can I serve you?"
"Okay," Eric smiled and approached the counter, picking up the Newtons tablet and asking about the problem.
Ritter Jackman was not as ignorant as the salesman. He smiled and replied: "This tablet uses the latest tft LCD screen, 1m memory, 4m storage space, and Toshiba's flash memory chip."
“Do you have other electronic products that use flash technology here?”
"Of course, mobile phones, digital cameras, computers and other products here have adopted this technology."
Eric asked again: "What is the maximum storage capacity of the chip?"
Ritter Jackman thought for a moment and said: "If the capacity is the largest, it should be the cf memory card developed by SanDisk. This is the product launched by SanDisk last year. It is mainly used for digital cameras. The maximum capacity is 16m, sir. If you are interested, I can take you to see it."
16m, can only hold up to four mp3 songs, Eric is disappointed, but still intends to look at it, then said: "Let's take a look, in addition, give me five sets of this tablet, wait for me take away."
Linda wondered: "Eric, why are you buying so much?"
Eric smiled and said, "Give someone."
Linda still couldn't figure it out, but Ritter Jackman jumped his eyebrow slightly. He keenly noticed that between the men and women, although it looked like a lady and a groom, it was actually not the case. More and more certain points have been determined.
The salesman who told the counter to help Eric prepare things, Ritter Jackman walked with Erik to the digital camera zone with a constant smile.
Next to the counter, Ritter Jackman handed a stamp-sized memory card to Eric, saying: "Mr., this is the cf card, 16m storage, can store up to 100 photos, I need to demonstrate with a digital camera. Anyway?"
Eric looked at the card and shook his head: "No, it looks too big and the capacity is too small."
Ritter Jackman was not angry at all, laughing: "Mr. This is the current technology limit. When the flash chip was just five years ago, the storage space was only 1m, and the storage space was larger. Now only the hard disk can be realized. ”
"Oh," Eric’s tone rose a bit, suddenly remembered and asked, "Would, is there a hard drive the same size as this cf card?"
"I haven't seen this before," Ritter Jackman shook his head. "The smallest hard drive is the 1.8-inch hard drive that Toshiba developed for use on their portable handhelds."
"Do you have such a computer here?"
"Yes, please come with me," said Ritter Jackman, who took Eric to the Toshiba product counter and took out a Toshiba handheld computer and sent it to Eric. He said: "This is Toshiba. The libretto20 handheld computer, 6.1-inch tft screen, 8m memory, 270m storage space, the internal use of the 1.8-inch small hard drive."
In the morning, Eric saw Cindy's walkman, and soon thought of the mp3 player. Now the mp3 audio format patent is in the hands of Yahoo, because Yahoo's open licensing policy has become the most widely used audio format. Not only is it widely used on the Internet, but it has also been applied to some CD music CDs.
When discussing the future development strategy of Yahoo with Chris last weekend, the two discussed the possibility of Yahoo's involvement in hardware products. At this time, Eric realized that mp3 players are suitable.
If you can put the complete patent technology involved in the mp3 player in your hands in advance, Eric can use the Yahoo platform to build an online music store, and then firmly grasp the entire music sales industry chain from the network to the terminal, North American music. Copyright regulations are very strict, and people generally have the habit of paying for music. This means that Yahoo's involvement in online music stores will be promising. If you can make Yahoo's music store a completely monopolized sales platform, the profit is absolutely no less than hardware sales.
Moreover, the mp3 player can be integrated into the Nokia mobile phone in advance, which is another development idea.
Thinking about these things in my heart, Eric simply tried the next Toshiba handheld computer like a mini notebook, but did not know what the hard disk inside looked like, subconsciously said: "Can you take a look?"
Ritter Jackman heard Eric’s words and hesitated, but quickly said: “Of course, no problem, sir, but there is no tool here, go to my office?”
Eric wanted to shake his head after asking. This request seemed to be too much. When I heard Reiter Jackman’s answer, Eric stunned and said, “Do you recognize me?”
Ritter Jackman smiled and said: "If you don't ask this sentence, I really can't be 100% sure, Mr. Williams." (To be continued.)
