The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 109 Special Level Worker
"It's done!"

Jiang Hui returned to the entrance of Wangfujing Department Store with a smile on his face and waved the two tickets in front of Zhu Lin.

"Is it expensive?"

"It's OK. It cost sixty-five dollars."

For ordinary people, this price is obviously extremely expensive.

It’s just that things are valuable because they are scarce. Now you need a ticket to buy anything, and the reason is insufficient production capacity.

If you really could buy it with money, the prices of many things would probably skyrocket.

From this perspective, spending a few dozen dollars to buy tickets may actually be a lower-cost way.

"A recorder is necessary for translating materials. It's expensive, but a camera isn't that cost-effective."

In Zhu Lin's opinion, Jiang Hui can earn royalties by using the tape recorder to translate materials, and the investment can be recovered quickly.

But cameras are pure money.

“Compared to translating materials, I think it is more important to record the beautiful moments in life.”

"Don't you want us to take a few more photos together?"

After Jiang Hui said this, Zhu Lin immediately had no objections.

A must buy camera!

The two soon arrived at the floor where electrical appliances were sold.

With tickets and money in their pockets, the two men were very confident.

However, no matter how wealthy you look, the waiter will not look upon you with any respect.

Although you won't be so cold and sarcastic, but if you want a good service attitude and a smiling face, don't even think about it.

Fortunately, this 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.

"We have a tape recorder in the health center that looks similar to that one. Why don't we buy that one?"

When buying home appliances these days, there is very little choice.

So there is no need to worry too much, just buy it when it is almost there.

"This cassette recorder uses only magnetic tapes. The square cassette box on the recorder is very eye-catching. Just press the switch button and the door on the surface of the cassette box will pop open. Insert the tape upside down into the cassette box and close the door."

"When you press the play button, the two gears in the cartridge start to drive the tape in the cassette to rotate slowly, and then it can be used normally."

Zhu Lin gave further explanation.

Although Jiang Hui had never used the cassette recorder in front of him, he had used many similar electronic devices in later life.

A product that seems very good to everyone now actually has many shortcomings for him.

The disadvantage of using a cassette recorder is that you have to manually turn the tape over after listening to one side, and operations such as rewinding also take a lot of time.

Of course, for people of this age, this shortcoming is nothing.

"This cassette recorder has a radio function. There is 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 pull out the antenna section by section and then adjust the direction of the antenna to obtain the best reception effect."

I don’t know if the salesperson was in a good mood because she saw the handsome guy or the beautiful girl, or if there was something happy happening today, but she actually took the initiative to help introduce someone.

"Okay, buy it then."

Jiang Hui waved his hand and directly agreed to Zhu Lin's proposal.

The price tag of 234 yuan, plus a recorded ticket, is considered a big purchase in this day and age.

“Which camera is the best-selling one?”

Now that I have dealt with the recorder issue, the next step is definitely to buy a camera.

“东方牌S-3型35毫米平视取景照相机、海鸥牌DF-1型单镜头反光照相机、红旗20、虎丘牌135-1型以及牡丹牌MD-1型相机都算是比较受欢迎。”

"But if you have money, I recommend you buy a Seagull DF-1 single-lens reflex camera."

Originally, Jiang Hui was just hesitating casually and didn't expect the salesperson to pay any attention to him.

In fact, the salesperson really ignored him. But a middle-aged man next to him was very enthusiastic in introducing the products.

Judging from his appearance, he must know a lot about photography, otherwise he wouldn't be able to remember those camera models so clearly.

For example, Jiang Hui, if you ask him about camera information, he will know the Seagull brand.

Of course, if it is imported, then add names such as Leica, Nikon, Canon, etc.

As for the specific model of the camera, I have no idea at all.

"Thanks for your guidance. We'll go with the Seagull brand then."

This is the only brand I remember, so there is no need to hesitate.

"This camera costs 453 yuan."

Zhu Lin touched Jiang Hui's arm, obviously thinking it was a bit expensive.

At this time, most people would consider buying a camera for around two hundred dollars.

It costs about four or five hundred yuan per camera. If you include the money I spent on the camera ticket, it’s almost 500 yuan per camera.

It's like not eating or drinking for a year just to buy a camera.

No wonder Zhu Lin felt it was a bit expensive.

"Different cameras can produce very different photo quality."

"Just buy a Seagull camera and a few more rolls of film, and we'll take more pictures."

If this camera were preserved to later generations, it might become an antique.

Jiang Hui felt that there was no need to worry about a few hundred dollars.

"By the way, comrade, film doesn't need a ticket, right?"

Jiang Hui suddenly remembered that he had only bought a ticket for the camera, but not for the film.

It would be embarrassing if you have a camera but no film.

“Film doesn’t require a ticket.”

"Are you going to buy it or not? If not, let the people behind you come up and buy it!"

The salesperson frowned a little impatiently.

"Buy this Seagull camera and five rolls of Kodak film."

Jiang Hui didn't expect to see the familiar figure of Kodak on the counter again. He chose it without any hesitation.

With the tickets and money, there were no unexpected events during the process.

"This film is so expensive. I saw that the A.D. 120 film next to it is only 1.80 yuan each, but the Kodak one is 12 yuan each."

Although everything was bought, Zhu Lin still felt a little painful.

"Comrades, you don't know this."

"A roll of Kodak film has 36 frames, while a roll of A.D. 120 film has only 12 frames, which is three times the number."

"Then one is imported and the other is domestic, so the price is definitely different and the quality is also different."

The enthusiastic middle-aged man next to him was still standing there, which surprised Jiang Hui.

"Uncle, thank you for your recommendation just now, otherwise we wouldn't know how to choose."

"I see you know a lot about cameras."

No matter what, he just helped me, so I should say a few words to him.

"I used to be an eighth-level worker at the Beiyi Machine Tool Factory. I don't have any hobbies, but I like photography."

“I have studied the major camera situations in the country.”

The middle-aged man started chatting with Jiang Hui quite enthusiastically, which made Jiang Hui feel a little strange.
