5: Chapter 5: The First Deal is Done!

Just as Bai Jingqing finished listing all the specifications

and posted them on the poster by the entrance,

it quickly attracted a lot of people.

They gathered in front of the door, pointing and whispering.

"Look, that one has 64GB of memory!

With such high memory,

and a 13-megapixel high-definition camera,

it's actually only selling for 1999!

Without a doubt, it must be a knock-off."

"It doesn't look like a knock-off, though.

Look at this processor,

the snapdragon 801.

I've never heard of it,

but it says here the frequency is 2.5GHz.

I recall that even Ideal's top flagship doesn't have such a high frequency!"

"You're judging a processor just by its frequency?

High frequency doesn't necessarily mean it's good;

it also depends on the manufacturer's optimization!

I've never even heard of this brand;

it's definitely a garbage phone!"

Many people were gathered there,

pointing at the sign and discussing it.

Many felt that the other components of this phone were quite good,

but this processor alone,

they had never heard of it.

They couldn't find any information even when searching online,

so they subconsciously felt it must be a garbage phone, a knock-off,

used to deceive people.

A crowd of people watched from the entrance without coming in,

which made Bai Jingqing feel a bit anxious.

Just then,

a youthful and beautiful girl squeezed through the crowd,

saying, "Excuse me! Let me through!

Let me get inside for a moment!"

Then she walked into the mobile phone shop.

The girl was wearing hot pants,

a small white T-shirt,

and had her hair in two braided pigtails.

She had a pretty face

and looked very refreshing.

Bai Jingqing guessed at once that she was a youthful and beautiful college student.

"Boss, is what you've posted at the door real?

Such a strong camera,

and such large memory,

for only 1999?"

After squeezing in,

the girl asked.

This was his first customer,

so Bai Jingqing naturally didn't dare to be negligent.

He quickly stood up to receive her: "That's right!

It's real!

And it's not just the camera and storage;

our processor is also a 2.5GHz quad-core processor.

This performance can be said to be quite powerful."

The girl shook her head: "I don't understand those things you're saying,

but I only know that your phone's rear camera has 13 megapixels,

which is much higher than my last one.

And the memory is also larger than my previous one.

I accidentally dropped my phone today,

so I want to get a new one.

I don't have any special requirements;

I just take photos normally,

and I like listening to music,

so I store all my songs on my phone.

So I want my new phone to have a slightly higher pixel count,

better photography,

and a bit more memory

to store all the music I download.

I don't have any other requirements;

after all, I don't have that much of a budget.

Is this 1999 real?

Or are there other additional charges?"

Bai Jingqing shook his head repeatedly: "Of course there are no additional charges!

I can guarantee that right here!

And it doesn't matter if you don't understand;

I can explain it to you.

Our CPU is absolutely top-tier.

What is a CPU equivalent to?

It's like a person's brain.

Think about it, only with a powerful brain

can all parts of the body listen to you

and operate normally.

It's the same for a phone;

only when the CPU is powerful

can other parts coordinate well.

So the CPU is the core of a mobile phone.

As for the better photography and larger memory you mentioned,

this xiaomi 4 can satisfy all of that!"

The girl hesitated for a moment and

said, "Boss,

can you take the phone out and let me see it?"

Cai Yulun then handed the phone he had just taken out from the system warehouse to the girl.

The girl lit up the screen,

entered the system interface,

and swiped around a few times.

"Wow! It's so smooth!

And this phone is so beautiful!

It's also very light and thin to hold!

It feels really comfortable in the hand!"

The girl was immediately conquered by the xiaomi 4's appearance and system interface.

She then opened the camera

and took some photos of the crowd outside.

"Whoa! It's so clear!

This is amazing!"

Looking at the photos she took,

the girl liked the phone even more.

Finally, she opened the selfie camera.

She took two selfies,

and when she clicked into the album to look,

she was stunned: "Am... Am I this good-looking?

Looking at this photo, my skin looks so good!

The pimples on my face are all gone."

Bai Jingqing introduced: "This phone's selfie mode has a certain beauty function,

though you are already very beautiful yourself.

Beauty mode isn't fake;

it's just restoring your beauty."

The girl's face turned slightly red;

she was a bit embarrassed to be praised like that.

"So where do I check the memory?"

It was clear that this girl truly didn't understand anything about phones,

not even how to check the memory size.

"Right here."

Bai Jingqing didn't find it bothersome

and instead taught her step-by-step how to open the settings.

"The one above is the running memory, which is 3GB,

while the storage, which we commonly call memory, is 64GB."

"Ah?"

The girl's eyes widened,

and she began to suspect something wasn't quite right.

"What is memory?

What is running memory?"

She admitted that what drove her to walk into this shop earlier

was indeed the price,

which was only 1999.

Of course, the boss's handsomeness was also part of the reason.

But now she suddenly woke up to the fact

that people always say cheap goods aren't good.

Could such a cheap phone

really be this good?

If nothing else,

she knew about the phone of a male classmate she was familiar with;

it had cost several thousand yuan.

That male classmate's phone only had 16GB of memory.

Now, hearing the boss say this phone had 3GB of running memory

and 64GB of storage,

she was instantly dazed.

She suspected the boss was trying to cheat her right here.

Could it be that the memory was only 3GB?

How many things could that store!

It would be full after just a few songs!

Bai Jingqing could only continue to explain: "The memory we usually talk about

is actually storage capacity.

What is this equivalent to?

Suppose you're eating Apples,

and the Apples are in a dish.

The size of this dish is the storage;

it directly determines how many Apples it can hold,

which is what we commonly call memory."

The girl's eyes widened;

she listened very intently,

trying to understand the boss's explanation.

"As for this running memory,

it's like when you're eating an Apple

and you put it in your mouth.

How much Apple you can chew in your mouth—

some people have larger mouths

and can eat a bit more Apple in one bite,

while others have smaller mouths

and can eat a bit less in one bite.

The size of your mouth determines how much Apple you can chew at the same time,

which is the running memory."

The girl nodded half-understandingly;

she seemed to get it a little.

"Of course, this is just a common and simple analogy.

Terms like memory, storage, and running memory seem very confusing,

but they are much easier to understand when expressed in English.

Running memory is RAM.

You see it's only 3GB,

but this 3GB doesn't mean it can only store 3GB of things;

rather, it's the temporary memory it occupies when running large programs.

The larger this number is,

the smoother it will be when the program runs.

And the memory we commonly talk about

is actually storage,

which is ROM in English.

The larger this number is,

the more things you can store."

Hearing Bai Jingqing explain it this way,

the girl seemed to understand a lot more.

She played with the phone,

and seeing how handsome the boss was,

she felt he probably wouldn't swindle her.

The phone was so beautiful

that she found it hard to put down,

and in the end, she bought the phone.

1999,

cash transaction.

"Deal. Congratulations on becoming a distinguished Xiaomi user."

Bai Jingqing ran to the back and took out another xiaomi 4 from the system,

then helped her pack the phone,

placed it inside the phone box,

even provided her with a charger,

and solemnly handed it to the girl.

The first transaction was completed just like that.

After the girl left,

Bai Jingqing also impatiently checked his system

and found that the points in the upper right corner of his system had become 1959.
