Chapter 439 The Best Times
In the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, the mountain city.

Different from the winter in the north, even in the twelfth lunar month, the temperature in the mountain city is still 6 or 7 degrees.

The streets are full of cars, and the mall is full of bustling crowds. The happy smiles on people's faces all show that this kind of city is full of warmth and hope.

The Jiangbei International Airport was also crowded with people.

There is an endless stream of passengers from all over the world, and the entire pick-up hall is full of voice announcements of the latest arriving flights.

Zhou Yangyang looked up at the time on the display screen in the airport hall, and just at this moment, the voice announcement of the arrival of the flight came from his ears simultaneously.

"Passengers picking up the plane, please note that China Eastern Flight 8593 from Seoul, South Korea to Shancheng City has arrived at Jiangbei International Airport on time. Please..."

Hearing this, Zhou Yangyang quickly looked at the exit.

Today, he came to Jiangbei Airport to pick up a high school classmate who came back from South Korea on this flight.

Thinking of this old high school classmate, Zhou Yangyang couldn't help sighing.

Once, this classmate was an ordinary existence that he could only look up to!

In high school, this classmate has always occupied the No.1 in the class, the top ten in the whole grade, he is a top student in the eyes of his classmates, and an outstanding student in the eyes of the teacher.

After graduating from high school, this classmate also got his wish and was admitted to a 985 college, and then entered a foreign-funded enterprise after graduation, and even eventually immigrated abroad to South Korea.

And what about yourself?

The performance of the college entrance examination was unsatisfactory. In the end, he could barely pass the college degree. After three years of graduating, he moved to various factories.

Compared with such influential figures, I am not from the same class at all, and it is impossible to have more intersections.

fortunately.

A few years ago, after going around by myself, I joined the Phoenix Group, which was still the Phoenix Bicycle Factory at that time, and started as a basic bicycle warehouse worker...

Thinking of this, Zhou Yangyang couldn't help but smile.

It was precisely because of joining the Phoenix Group that he made the most correct decision in his life, which allowed him to be promoted from an ordinary warehouse worker to a middle-level employee of the Phoenix Group in just a few years.

And this classmate also changed his attitude towards himself completely after knowing that he was working as a middle-level cadre in the Phoenix Group by chance, and began to contact himself frequently on chat software, asking about his health...

This time, this classmate came back to visit relatives after a few years, and contacted himself immediately.

Zhou Yangyang knew the reason for all this very well, it was all because he was a middle-level employee of the world-renowned Phoenix Group...

In a trance.

He suddenly saw a familiar face approaching the exit in front of him, Zhou Yangyang was slightly taken aback, then put away his thoughts and walked towards that person.

"Squad leader Xu, here, here."

Zhou Yangyang's classmate Xu Boxu, the squad leader, has delicate features, and his casual attire has a bit of petty bourgeois taste.

After hearing Zhou Yangyang's loud shout, Xu Bo was slightly taken aback, and then trotted over with a smile on his face carrying his luggage.

As soon as they met, the two hands clasped together passionately.

"Old classmate, I haven't seen you for many years! I really miss you for a long time."

Facing Xu Bo's enthusiasm, Zhou Yangyang has long been used to such scenes.

After exchanging a few greetings with a smile, he guided Xu Bo out of the airport pick-up hall and went straight to the taxi waiting area outside the airport.

Before Xu Bo could speak, Zhou Yangyang took the lead and said:

"Squad Leader Xu, my car was parked at the company yesterday, and I didn't have time to drive it today."

"Today, let's just make up for it. Let's take a taxi and go to dinner first."

Take a taxi?

A trace of imperceptible discomfort flashed in Xu Bo's eyes, and then he pretended to be fine and said with a smile:
"Haha classmate Zhou, I also said to take a ride in your luxury car, it seems that I can only wait for the next time."

"But it's okay, it's the same as taking a taxi."

Zhou Yangyang picked up his mobile phone and quickly placed an order. Hearing this, he smiled and shook his head.

"My car is the 'Qingluan' of our Phoenix Group, not a luxury car."

"And what we took this time was not an ordinary taxi, but an 'unmanned self-driving taxi' launched by our Phoenix Group."

"It just so happens that I have a few free ride tickets, let's experience it too."

Self-driving taxis?
Although Xu Bo is already in South Korea, a developed country, there is no company in South Korea, even in Seoul, that has actually started operating "unmanned self-driving taxis".

Hearing this, his eyes lit up, and all the unhappiness in his heart disappeared immediately.

It turned out that although Zhou Yangyang did not personally drive to receive him this time, he still carefully arranged for himself to experience the legendary car's top technology "unmanned self-driving taxi", which is not bad.

His eyes were filled with anticipation immediately, and his tone was a little flattering when he said:

"Student Zhou, I have to say that the benefits of your Phoenix Group are really good, and there are also free 'unmanned taxi coupons', like our company, we don't have such treatment..."

Zhou Yangyang froze suddenly.

Immediately, a strange smile appeared on his face, and after a few seconds, Zhou Yangyang explained with a smile:
"Squad Leader Xu...Actually, this 'unmanned automatic taxi' coupon was issued by our mountain city..."

"As long as the population works in our mountain city, they can receive three free ride coupons for 'unmanned self-driving taxis' every month."

what? !

Everyone gets three free rides per month?
Xu Bo's eyes were filled with surprise. He had never heard of such benefits as free bus tickets in Yanguo City!
At this moment, an uncle who was also waiting for the bus looked at the surprised Xu Bo with a smile, and said:
"Brother, what's the point of giving a few free tickets?"

"In the past two years, our mountain city has given out cash vouchers every year, which is cash that can be used for serious consumption!"

"and."

"I suggest you to experience the 'unmanned automatic bus' in our mountain city. Now our bus company has implemented all free of charge for minors and the elderly. It is said that soon, our whole city will realize free public transport! "

"According to this calculation, those of us working-class workers can save one or two thousand in transportation costs every year. It's delicious!"

a voucher?
And... free public transport?
Xu Bo's eyes widened suddenly, his face full of disbelief.

Since immigrating to South Korea, he has not been back to visit his family for several years.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, the mountain city has changed so much.

Not only has the "unmanned self-driving taxi" that is more excellent than Seoul has been put into operation, but it also directly sends cash vouchers and free public transportation!
This... Welfare is really a Yan country city? !

Just when he was in a trance, the "unmanned self-driving taxi" ordered by Zhou Yangyang had already parked steadily in front of the two of them.

Xu Bo's mind was buzzing, and when he got into the "unmanned self-driving taxi", he was stunned by the scene in front of him again.

The car in front of us no longer has a steering wheel like a traditional car, nor does it have conventional configurations such as a handbrake, a gear lever, configuration buttons, and an armrest box.

The interior space of the entire car is minimalist, with only two large-size LCD screens in the front and rear rows, creating a technologically-sounding and extremely comfortable seating space!

It's like a futuristic car from a sci-fi movie.

After he fastened his seat belt, a confirmation button popped up on the display screen in the rear.

"According to the destination selection when you placed the order, you are about to go to Times Square, please confirm."

"If you need to change the destination, you can directly voice input or change the destination on the mobile phone."

Before Xu Bo could react, Zhou Yangyang said lightly:
"confirm."

"Okay, confirm the destination as 'Times Square'."

"Thank you for choosing 'Phoenix Taxi'. It is currently 16km away from the destination, and it will take about..."

While Xu Bo was stunned, the unmanned automatic taxi started slowly, and after a while it merged into the main road and drove normally.

The unmanned taxi is as proficient as an old driver who shuttles through the traffic smoothly and smoothly. Xu Bo was amazed, and felt that he was as strange as a bumpkin entering the city...

but.

This situation did not last long, and before long, the car finally arrived in Times Square.

It was already one o'clock at noon, and Zhou Yangyang ordered a meal in advance at a restaurant next to Times Square. As soon as the two got off the car, Zhou Yangyang led Xu Bo to Times Square.

The first floor of Times Square mainly sells all kinds of electronic products, and the two of them walked all the way and saw basically all local brands of Yanguo, and the only foreign brand was Hongguo.

Xu Bo suddenly became interested.

You know, he is a loyal fan of Hongguo Group and a serious fan of fruit.

As early as before he immigrated abroad, he has been using Hongguo mobile phone and has always been proud of it.

Even in South Korea's Samsung Group, he still uses Hongguo mobile phones, and buys the latest models every year as soon as possible.

I still remember the first two years when I went out, and even some distant relatives at home asked him to help bring a few Korean version of Hongguo mobile phones back from South Korea, which is enough to show the brand influence of Hongguo mobile phones in Yanguo!
Looking at the endless stream of people in the Hongguo shop, Xu Bo felt relieved for no reason, looked at Zhou Yangyang and said with a smile:

"Old classmate, it seems that the sales of Hongguo mobile phones in Yan Country are still as good as ever."

"You Phoenix Group still have to work harder!"

Zhou Yangyang smiled and said nothing, but Xu Bo was more interested and walked straight to the Hongguo mobile phone store.

"Old classmate, I'm very curious. The latest Hongguo 15 Pro in South Korea only costs about 8000 yuan. If I remember correctly, the price of Yanguo should be at least 9000 yuan."

"Come on, let's take a look together?"

Zhou Yangyang's expression suddenly became strange. Before he could speak, Xu Bo had already walked into the shop.

He looked at the endless stream of people in front of him with joy, and finally squeezed to the counter of the latest mobile phone. When he saw the price on the label, he was dumbfounded.

Good guy, what's the situation!
Hongguo's latest Hongguo 15Pro Yanguo is priced at only 6500 yuan in soft sister coins?

It's 1500 yuan cheaper than South Korea? !

Didn’t it say before that the National Bank version is the most expensive, and the US version, Hong Kong version, and Korean version are all cheaper than the National Bank?

This……!
Xu Bo was shocked again, and looked back at Zhou Yangyang behind him.

At this moment, the salesperson in the Hongguo shop also noticed Xu Bo and Zhou Yangyang.

The two of them were dressed neatly and concisely, and they seemed to be people with good spending power.

The beautiful salesperson squeezed out a bright enough smile and looked at Xu Bo enthusiastically.

"Sir, the one you are looking at is the latest Hongguo 15 Pro of our Hongguo mobile phone. The current price is only 6500 yuan..."

"And, if you buy it now, we will also give you the original genuine earphones and charging cable, as well as a 30W fast charging head."

what!
It's so cheap and there's a giveaway!
Hongguo's official direct-sale store even held an event to give away earphones and charging cables!

Xu Bo kept shaking his head.

No... this must be an illusion.

Suddenly.

His face turned pale, he looked straight at the salesperson, and said with difficulty:
"Will you show me the MacBook Pro laptop? It's about [-]. I bought one in South Korea last month..."

The salesperson glanced at Xu Bo in shock, and then led Xu Bo to the laptop area.

While walking, the beautiful salesperson said:
"Sir, this is what you call a MacBook Pro laptop."

"However, our current price of this model is 7500 yuan... The 1000 yuan you mentioned should be our price a year ago."

???

Xu Bo was completely confused.

low.

too low!
The world-renowned electronic product manufacturer once created the Red Fruit of the Times, but is the price in Yanguo so cheap?
This price is probably even cheaper than in North America, right? !

Ah this...!
After a long while, Xu Bo looked at the latest Hongguo 15 Pro in his hand, and suddenly it didn't smell good.

Originally, I wanted to laugh at the high price of Yanguo's electronic products, and I wanted to show off the superiority of my life in South Korea in front of my old classmates, but now...

Good guy.

The previous three "free taxi coupons" per month are fine, but now it is a complete failure on electronic products!
After a while, Xu Bo looked at the beautiful salesperson in a daze, and asked with difficulty:
"Why...how come the price of your Hongguo's electronic products has become so cheap!"

Before the beautiful salesperson could speak, an old man who was also shopping at the side suddenly said:

"Just kidding, if the red fruit is not cheap, who the hell would buy it!"

"I bought a Phoenix mobile phone, which has satellite communication function and can also use the satellite network. Doesn't he like it?"

"Moreover, it's not just Hongguo that has lowered the price. Huawei, VIOV, Rice, which company hasn't dropped by a thousand dollars? This mobile phone is really getting cheaper and cheaper."

Brother's words instantly aroused the echo of everyone present.

"That's right, looking back now, when the Hongguo mobile phone sold for eight or nine thousand, Guizi was simply stealing money. Now the price is much more reasonable!"

"Don't, don't, I heard that the Phoenix Group is still fighting a chip price war, and the chip price has to be lowered!"

"I don't understand the chip price war, but I know that the Phoenix Group has broken the chip monopoly, and I know that our common people have enjoyed benefits because of this. This mobile phone saves thousands of yuan, isn't it good?"

"So, we should really thank the Phoenix Group!"

"Yes, this Phoenix Group is really awesome. Don't talk about mobile phones. I went to buy a rice cooker yesterday. Joyoung used to cost three to four hundred yuan. Yesterday it was 199 yuan. When I asked the salesperson, they said that the manufacturer had lowered the price. Chips The price has been greatly reduced and the cost has come down!"

"The rice cooker's drop is nothing, but the computer is really cheap. You know that the graphics card used to cost thousands of yuan? Phoenix Group's high-end graphics card came out, and Nvidia was stunned. The previous 3060 graphics card cost 4000 yuan. I have to rush to buy it, and the Phoenix Group directly made 2000 yuan..."

"Yes, yes, yes, and the price of the air conditioner has also been reduced by several hundred. In short, the price of all electronic products related to chips has been reduced... This is the first time in decades..."

"Electronic products are getting cheaper and cheaper in our country."

"Now, it's really the best time!"

Hearing what everyone said, Xu Bo felt mixed emotions.

Didn't you want to immigrate so desperately at the beginning because you wanted to pursue a better life?

And now.

It seems that the companies in Yan Country headed by the Phoenix Group are working hard to make this country better and better.

Is this really the best era for the Yan Kingdom?
