Chapter 93
Toshiba laptop, Sega Nintendo handheld game console, Sony live football series game console, Canon high-pixel digital camera...
The Japanese famous brands, listed as one of the high-end digital products in China, are full of eyes like stars in the sky, but the five people are just to appreciate artworks. The five or six zeros on the price tag are intimidating, and the real destination is the audio-visual counter inside.
Guan Jian bought the Panasonic mp4 in his heart with satisfaction and the authentic made-in-japan, which made him so happy that he couldn't stop talking;
Luo Xian and Long Tian each bought Tai Aihua mp3, but Long Tian still had a lingering shadow of regret on his face, as if he was not satisfied with the mp3 he bought;
Long Tian, who was usually not picky, became particularly picky today. Luo Xian looked at him in confusion. After buying the mp3, he still reluctantly circled around the counter, with a focused and persistent expression. However, every time he saw the disappointment and regret, he asked in confusion: "God, do you think this mp3 is not good? If so, we can change it!"
"No, I'm just looking for a walkman." Long Tianxin replied absent-mindedly, his main energy still focusing on his searching eyes.
"Walman? Which one do you mean? Isn't mp3 a portable walkman?" Luo Xian was confused again, thinking that today's friend was very strange.
"It's just a kind of tape, battery power, which is called 'headphones' in our house."
"Haha, aren't earphones earbuds? Oh, I know which kind of walkman you mentioned. It's hard to find the original tape player in Beijing. It has basically withdrawn from the market a few years ago, let alone in Japan where technology is up and down!
"I know, but I should be able to find it. There are many such players in our house. I think there will be people in Japan using this kind of machine." His answer was firm and stubborn, and Luo Xian shook his head helplessly.
After several rounds, Long Tian still didn't give up. With the last glimmer of hope, he embarrassedly told Shi Yiming that he was going against the trend: "Captain, where can I buy that kind of tape player?"
Shi Yiming glanced at him: "Didn't you buy mp3? What other player do you want?"
"I want the kind of walkman that uses batteries and cassettes, and my girlfriend just wants that kind." Long Tian explained embarrassedly.
Shi Yiming looked at him with a sour look and muttered impatiently: "That kind of machine has been discontinued in Japan, how can I buy it?!"
Long Tian looked at him with anticipation, hoping to get a different answer from the admired captain, but Shi Yiming's cold answer still poured cold water on his stubborn mind, making him cold from beginning to end!
Long Tian blushed and muttered in an infinite tone of regret: "Is it really gone? Then forget it, sorry, captain!"
Put the remaining yen into Shi Yiming's hands, "I just bought mp3 and spent 3,000 yuan. The remaining 12,000 yuan plus the 500 yuan on me, I will return it to you first. The 3,000 yen is more than 200 yuan in RMB. I will return it to you after I return to China. Today I will cause trouble, captain!"
Looking at Long Tian’s lonely figure far away, Shi Yiming’s heart felt a touching thought, and his long-term indifference turned into a trace of guilt;
After all, he is just a simple, innocent and persistent player. As his substitute, he is impossible to have an impact on the captain's position on the field. This Guangxi man also respects and admires himself from the bottom of his heart;
Even if he is so arrogant that he is tolerant and generous that his titles of "captain" are always full of piety.
For a long time, he couldn't figure out where this short Guangxi player was provoking him, and he felt a secret disgust when he saw him;
He could see clearly the game against South Korea. Without Long Tian, there would be no continuation of his captain position. He was moved by his brave and fearless style and understood Long Tian with an appreciation for the first time;
His insistence today was different from usual for his beloved girlfriend. Shi Yiming's heart was shocked. He understood Long Tian, who was persistent from an emotional level, and further enhanced his understanding of him. Shi Yiming began to feel ashamed and could not help but examine his emotional incompetence.
"What are you doing, you!" Shi Yiming's voice filled with unquestionable power as if it was thunderously shocked Long Tian. He turned around and looked at Shi Yiming at a loss.
"What are these hundreds of dollars? I've said it to you, so why bother to put it back? I look down on me!?" As soon as I saw his frightened face, Shi Yiming couldn't help but soften his stern tone.
"No! Captain, I never mean to underestimate you. I have always admired your skills and character. I just don't want to owe others favors." Long Tian explained in fear and trepidation.
"I rarely listen to music and don't know much about this product. Maybe I can buy it in some frivolous markets or nostalgic stores-"
As soon as he heard that he could buy it, Long Tian interrupted him without saying a word: "Really? That's great! Captain, thank you!"
The excited Long Tian jumped three feet high, as happy as if he had found a treasure. The knowing smile that instantly bloomed on his face swept away the depressed expression he had before a few seconds;
The innocent joy and anger are like an innocent child. Looking at his simplicity that he releases with all his heart, the deep Shi Yiming faintly felt a sense of jealousy, which was infected by that romantic emotion;
The gloomy heart began to clear up, and he really couldn't bear to brutally attack this persistent heart again: "Don't be happy so early. I'm only responsible for taking you to that place. Whether you can buy it depends on your luck. I can't assure you that, after all, that kind of machine I've seen ten years ago."
Long Tian blinked his eyes, his firm eyes as he was sprinting forward bravely: "Thank you, captain, I believe you can buy it!"
After Long Tian's explanation, the other three walked curiously towards a nostalgic shop on the corner of the street under Shi Yiming's leadership.
The so-called nostalgic store is actually a fresh market;
The Japanese people's concepts have been updated very quickly. The developed technology has prompted the economy to make rapid progress. The changes in various industries are changing with each passing day. The speed of product updates is far beyond the imagination of the Chinese people;
Although it is called "old goods", most of them are more than 90% new products. Some even keep the instructions and factory date certificates intact, and the original packaging paper has not been removed. In the eyes of Chinese people, it is completely "freshly released"!
CD machine, VCD, Video recorder, Film camera...
A large number of "antique products" from the last century. Although most of them are shown in new ways, many people at the bottom of China have not been exposed to such terms, but this is in Japan, a digital country.
Song Min and Guan Jian wandered around the store, wandering aimlessly;
Shi Yiming patiently talked with the shop owner, depicting the shape and attributes of the goods he wanted to buy. The more he heard the shop owner, the more he frowned. He finally figured out what he wanted to buy, but he couldn't find such a walkman in his mind at once. After all, it was a certain era since the popular machine;
Long Tian was excitedly traveling through the small shop, carefully browsing the shelves of all sizes, and Luo Xian followed him;
At first, he was full of expectations, but after searching again and again, Long Tian also became discouraged. He acted against the trend and had no lack of courage, but he never had a good end.
After exploring for more than half an hour, every corner of the small store was covered with Long Tian’s footprints, and every row of shelves left his fingerprints. After digging three feet into the ground, it was still hard to find the one in my heart, and I was still disappointed;
Luo Xian was urging him to leave in a low voice, and Guan Jian, who had returned home with a full load, was muttering impatiently. Shi Yiming didn't say anything, but his eyes looked at the street scene outside the store. Song Min and the two of them stood outside the gate in a row. The silent posture was very obvious;
After finally glanced at the shelves, he turned reluctantly and walked towards his teammates with a melancholy face.
There is an embedded cabinet on the wall at the corner of the door. Previously, Long Tian focused all his attention on the shelves on the inside of the store. He did not pay attention to the cabinet. After a bored glance, he was surprised to find a small green transparent case walkman lying quietly inside. The front of the box was marked with panasonic.
A very popular walkman style many years ago. When he was in junior high school, Long Tian’s biggest wish was to have such a tape player. He recognized it at a glance and searched for it hard. Long Tian knew it was what he wanted. It was really "it was so easy to find it without any effort";
With his nearly roaring "yeah", Shi Yiming and the other four turned around in surprise and looked at Long Tian, who was as excited as a child with confusion. The owner was also startled by his scream: At this moment, he remembered this cabinet.
This cabinet is actually not a shelf, but is equivalent to a collection rack. Although outdated products are backward in terms of functions, some products with unique shapes are also classics for collection;
He bought this Panasonic Walkman for his son, but his son thought it was ugly and had never been used. The sad owner was reluctant to sell it as an old item, so he put it in the collection cabinet;
It should be said that the items placed inside have a certain status in the mind of the owner, otherwise they would not have been left high. However, Long Tian's search for carpet bombing today was to find an out-of-date walkman that his son looked down upon. The owner's heart was suddenly shocked!
He pulled out the brand new machine from the cabinet and put it in Long Tian's slightly trembling hands. Looking at the young man's excited expression, he felt like he met a soulmate;
In his opinion, this exquisite machine has a complete function and a good image. He took it at a glance at the Panasonic store in Mitsubishi Building and brought it back to his son, but the disgusting expression of the boy could not let him go;
After putting it in the cabinet, someone stopped to watch it, but there were not many appreciations. There was always a sense of loneliness that was hard to find a soulmate. At this moment, he witnessed Long Tian touching its various buttons selflessly, and his lonely string sound resonated with Long Tian's teasing!
