Chapter 109 Special Level Eight Workers
“Done!”
Jiang Hui returned to the entrance of Wangfujing Department Store with a smile on his face, held up two tickets and waved them in front of Zhu Lin.
“Is it expensive?”
“It’s okay, it cost sixty-five yuan.”
For ordinary people, this price is obviously extremely expensive.
It’s just that things are rare and expensive. Now you have to pay for everything. The reason is insufficient production capacity.
If you really had money to buy it, the prices of many things would probably skyrocket.
From this perspective, spending dozens of dollars to buy tickets may actually be a cheaper way.
“The audio recorder is necessary for translating materials. Even if it is expensive, the camera is not so cost-effective.”
In Zhu Lin's view, Jiang Hui could earn royalties by using a tape recorder to translate materials, and the investment would be recovered quickly.
But cameras are just money.
“Compared with translating materials, recording the beautiful moments of life is more important to me.”
“Is it possible that you don’t want us to take more photos?”
Jiang Hui After saying this, Zhu Lin immediately had no objections.
A camera is a must buy!
The two soon arrived at the floor where electrical appliances are sold.
With tickets and money in their pockets, the two of them are very confident.
However, even if you look like a wealthy person, the waiter will not look down upon you.
Although I won’t be sarcastic, but if you want to be greeted with a smile and a good service attitude, don’t even think about it.
Fortunately, it was not the first day that Jiang Hui and Zhu Lin came here to buy things, and they were used to ignoring the salesperson's attitude.
"There is a cassette recorder in our bathroom. It looks similar to that one. Why don't we just buy it?"
When buying electrical appliances in this era, there are very few choices.
So there is no need to worry about it, you can just buy it.
“This type of cassette recorder all uses tapes. The square cassette on the recorder is very eye-catching. Press the switch button lightly, and the door on the surface of the cassette will pop open. Insert the tape upside down into the cassette. Close the barn door.”
"While pressing the play button, the two gears in the cassette begin to drive the cassette in the tape to rotate slowly, and it can be used normally."
Zhu Lin further explained next to him.
Although Jiang Hui has never used the cassette recorder in front of him, he has used many similar electronic devices in his later generations.
Nowadays, the products that everyone seems to be very good actually have many shortcomings to him.
The disadvantage of using a cassette recorder is that after listening to one side of the tape, you must turn it over manually, and rewinding and other operations also take a lot of time.
Of course, for people of this era, this shortcoming is nothing at all.
“This cassette recorder has a radio function. There is also a retractable antenna hidden behind the recorder. It is usually placed horizontally on the top of the recorder without affecting the appearance. When you need to listen to radio programs, you need to move the antenna Pull it out one by one, and then adjust the direction of the antenna to obtain the best radio effect.”
I don’t know if the salesperson was in a better mood after seeing the handsome guy or the beautiful girl, or if she happened to be in a happy event today, she actually took the initiative. A helpful introduction.
“Okay, then buy it.”
Jiang Hui waved his hand and directly agreed to Zhu Lin’s proposal.
The price is 234 yuan, plus a recording ticket, which is considered a big purchase in this era.
“Which camera is the best-selling one?”
After taking care of the tape recorder, the next step is to buy a camera.
“Oriental S-3 35mm head-up view camera, Seagull DF-1 single-lens reflex camera, Hongqi 20, Huqiu 135-1 and Peony MD-1 cameras are all considered More popular. ”
“But if you are not short of money, I recommend you buy the Seagull DF-1 single-lens reflex camera. ”
Originally, Jiang Hui was just struggling with a casual comment and didn't expect the salesperson to pay attention to him.
In fact, the salesperson ignored him. But a middle-aged man next to him introduced him enthusiastically.
Looking at his appearance, he must be quite knowledgeable about photography, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to remember the camera models so clearly.
Like Jiang Hui, if you ask him about the camera, he will know about the Seagull brand.
Of course, if it is imported, then add names such as Leica, Nikon, and Canon.
As for the specific model of the camera, I have no idea at all.
"Thank you for the guidance, then we will take the Seagull brand."
This is the only brand I have an impression of, so there is nothing to hesitate about.
“This camera costs 453 yuan each.”
Zhu Lin touched Jiang Hui's arm, obviously feeling it was a bit expensive.
At this time, most people would consider buying a camera for around 200 yuan.
It costs four to five hundred yuan per unit. If you include the money you just bought for the camera ticket, it’s almost 500 yuan per unit.
It is equivalent to buying a camera without eating or drinking for a year.
No wonder Zhu Lin thinks it’s a bit expensive.
"With different cameras, the quality of the photos taken is also very different."
"Just buy a Seagull brand camera, and then buy a few more rolls of film, and we can take more photos."
>If this camera is preserved to future generations, it may also be an antique.
Jiang Hui felt there was no need to worry about hundreds of dollars.
“By the way, comrade, you don’t need to pay for the film, right?”
Jiang Hui suddenly remembered that he had only bought tickets for the camera, but not for the film.
It would be embarrassing if you had a camera but no film.
"No tickets for film."
"Do you want to buy it or not? If not, let the people behind you come up and buy it!"
The salesperson frowned impatiently. .
"Buy, just this Seagull camera, and five Kodak films."
The familiar figure of Kodak was unexpectedly seen on the counter, so Jiang Hui chose it without any hesitation. .
With tickets and money, there were no accidents in the process.
“This film is so expensive. I saw that AD 120 film next to me is only 1.80 yuan a piece. That’s like Kodak, which actually costs 12 yuan a piece.”
Although I bought everything , but Zhu Lin still felt a little painful.
"Two comrades, you don't know this."
"Kodak's film has 36 sheets in one roll, but AD 120 film has only 12 sheets. The quantity is three times less."
"Then one is imported and the other is domestic. The price must be different and the quality is also different."
The enthusiastic middle-aged man next to him is still standing there at this time. Jiang Hui was quite surprised.
“Uncle, thank you for your recommendation just now, otherwise we wouldn’t know how to choose.”
"I see you know a lot about cameras."
Anyway, I was a help just now, and a few words of greeting are always in order.
“I used to be an eighth-level worker at Beiyi Machine Tool Factory. I didn’t have any hobbies at ordinary times. I just liked to do some photography.”
“I studied all the major domestic camera situations. Passed.”
The middle-aged man chatted with Jiang Hui enthusiastically, which made Jiang Hui feel a little strange.
