I’m in Hollywood

I don't know what to buy either. Let's go and see. Eric stroked Linda Evangelinsta's messy hair and asked the driver in the front row, Is there a Best Buy nearby? ?

Carter Moen had a rest recently. The driver was another bodyguard in Eric's security team, who happened to be a New Yorker. When he suddenly saw Eric, whose image had changed greatly, he even questioned whether the boss had been ripped off. Hearing He opened his mouth to speak, only to make sure, and said, It's on Fifth Avenue, next to Bryant Park.

Just go there, Eric nodded and told the driver to drive.

Best Buy is the largest electronics retail chain in the United States, and Linda thinks of the Walkman Eric fiddled with at breakfast, and knows it has something to do with it.

It was past business hours, the roads were not congested at all, and it took less than ten minutes for the car to get from the Upper East Side to the outside of the Best Buy chain near Bryant Park.

Eric got out of the car with Linda. There was no parking place nearby, so he let the driver drive away.

It was a working day, and it was work time again. There were not too many pedestrians on Fifth Avenue. However, after the car left, the two people standing on the side of the road still attracted the attention of some pedestrians. It's not that Eric and Linda were recognized. Linda's exquisite makeup skills made Eric himself not very recognizable. The main reason for the attention is that the image contrast between the two is a bit big.

Eric's hair was messy at this time, and Linda's handsome face was modified to look green and mediocre. He was only twenty-five years old, and now he looked more like in his early twenties, because there was no such thing today. Clothes changed, the light gray shirt on his body was slightly wrinkled, and he looked like a sloppy college student.

Looking at Linda next to her, her hair was tied into a bun, she wore big sunglasses, and she wore flaming red lips. Appears radiant. A black knee-length dress wrapped tightly around her slender body, holding a Prada bag in her hand, and a decorative fur waistcoat draped just right on her shoulders, adding a touch of aristocratic aura. more importantly. This woman is still walking on Hetian Gao, and her body is equal to Eric. At this time, Eric is completely set off by her height and temperament like a bag boy.

Noticing the envious and slightly contemptuous eyes of passers-by around him when they looked at him, and looking at the small appearance of the woman beside him who had succeeded in mischief, Eric smiled and said, Are you very proud now?

Linda thought Eric was angry. He quickly took his arm affectionately, and said with a smile, Ah, I also want to wear the same makeup as you, but it doesn't look like it.

Eric didn't believe her words, but he didn't feel too much in his heart. He has been in this position for two generations, and the opinions of outsiders will no longer affect him.

Let Linda be attached to herself,

Eric pushed open the glass door of Best Buy and walked into the store. The hall was filled with large household appliances. Looking at the map of the distribution of goods, he walked in with Linda and said, You know, our current situation is very in line with a certain atmosphere of the European court era.

What? Linda, like Eric, ignored the gazes of those around her and asked, What?

At that time, it was very popular for European ladies to take more talented young people as lovers, and those young people also liked this kind of soft rice.

Linda smiled and said, I've never heard of it, you must have made it up, hehe.

Of course it's not made up. Many historical celebrities have eaten this kind of soft rice.

Linda still didn't believe it. Asked, Who is there?

Eric thought for a while and said, Rousseau.

Linda nodded: I really want to hear about it.

Balzac.

A surprised look appeared on Linda's little face under the sunglasses: Wow, really?

Eric nodded: And Tchaikovsky.

Linda opened her mouth slightly in disbelief. After a while, it seemed as if he suddenly entered the play, and he waved the Prada bag in his hand proudly: Little Ike, pick whatever you want, and I'll buy it for you.

...

Linda seemed a little excited and forgot to lower her voice. The few customers and waiters in the store had noticed that they were a very unsuitable couple. Hearing that, another wave of contemptuous eyes shot towards Eric.

Passing through the major appliances area, Eric happened to see the Apple brand counter, and led Linda there.

After a quick glance, Eric wasn't too interested in the 'retro'-looking Macintosh and PowerBook laptops, which have now become IBM's Thinkpads. After Jobs, the design of Apple's products can only be described as bad.

However, a small thing similar to a tablet caught Eric's attention.

He motioned to the salesperson who was peeking at Linda from time to time to take out the tablet from the counter. Eric played with it and saw the 'Newton' logo on it, and then he remembered, This should be Apple's early Newton tablet.

The salesperson watched Eric clumsily fiddling with the tablet in his hand, and even scratched it with his fingers, with undisguised contempt in his eyes, and even more resentment that this guy caught a beautiful Linda in front of him. . After watching Eric swipe the screen in vain for a while with his finger, he handed over the stylus and introduced in a harsh tone, Sir, this tablet needs a stylus.

Oh, I forgot about this, Eric murmured, picking up the stylus, writing and drawing became smoother this time.

This is Apple's latest Newton MP110 series, with advanced handwriting recognition, very suitable for high-end business people, and the price is $799, the salesperson deliberately took a bite at the $799 price point, which is for most ordinary people , 799 dollars is definitely not cheap, relative to the simple functions of this tablet, it can even be described as luxury, however, to his disappointment, Eric did not respond to these at all.

On the contrary, Linda, who was wearing sunglasses, raised her eyebrows slightly, and the corner of her mouth showed a mischievous smile again.

Eric tried the notepad, memo, calendar and other functions on the tablet, and then raised his head and asked the salesman, What material is the screen of this machine made of?

What? The salesman was stunned.

I mean, what material is the touchscreen on this machine, STN or TFT?

Only then did the salesman understand, but he couldn't answer, noticing the smile on the corner of Linda's mouth next to him. Even more embarrassed, he said: This, I don't know very well.

Eric asked again, What type of battery is that?

The salesperson is clear about this, saying: It uses the latest lithium-ion battery developed by Sony. The capacity is more than twice that of mainstream nickel-metal hydride batteries.

Oh, Eric nodded and continued to ask, What is the storage capacity, and what type of memory chips are used?

The salesperson was speechless again. For a while, he felt that Eric must be deliberately making things difficult for himself, and said angrily: Sir, I'm just a salesman, not an engineer, please don't make trouble here without reason?

Before Eric could speak, Linda was reluctant, and said, Hey, I don't know anything yet, and I'm still a salesperson. I still have this attitude. Be careful, I'll complain to you.

The sales clerk put on the appearance of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, and said, Ma'am, please don't use your fake Prada to dangle in front of me, okay? My girlfriend also has a similar handbag, which is a genuine store. I bought this one, it looks fake, I even suspect that the two of you are probably liars, if you continue to make trouble, I will call the security guard.

The bag in Linda's hand is an internal limited edition, which is very different from the styles that are sold in large quantities in specialty stores. At this time, I didn't expect to be a fake. I was speechless for a while, and turned to look at Eric, showing that I can't help you.

You can't pull Lafayette to identify it.

Eric shrugged slightly. He was too lazy to do anything, and was about to pull Linda away when a middle-aged white man with glasses walked too fast and asked the salesman, Jack, what happened here?

They... The salesperson named Jack immediately began to complain in a low voice.

The middle-aged man waved his hand to let him leave after listening, and turned his head to say something to the two of Eric. Seeing Eric's appearance, his eyes couldn't help narrowing, and after looking at it carefully, he was still not sure, but he didn't dare to neglect him subconsciously, and said, Sir, I'm Rhett Jackman, the manager of this store, you Can you call me Rhett, and can I serve you?

Okay, Eric smiled, approached the counter again, picked up the Newton tablet and asked the question just now.

Rhett Jackman was not as ignorant as the sales clerk just now, and replied with a smile: This tablet computer uses the latest TFT LCD screen, 1M memory, 4M storage space, and uses Toshiba's flash memory chip.

Do you have any other electronics here that use flash technology?

Of course, mobile phones, digital cameras, computers and other products here all use this technology.

Eric asked again: What is the maximum storage capacity of this chip?

Reiter Jackman thought for a while and said, If the capacity is the largest, it should be the CF memory card developed by SanDisk. This is the product that SanDisk launched last year. It is mainly used for digital cameras, with a maximum capacity of 16M, sir, If you are interested, I can show you.

16M can only hold four MP3 songs at most. Eric was disappointed, but he still planned to go and have a look, so he said: Let's take a look, in addition, prepare five of these tablets for me, wait for me. take away.

Linda wondered: Eric, why are you buying so much?

Eric smiled and said, Send it away.

Linda was still puzzled, but Rhett Jackman raised his eyebrows slightly. He keenly noticed that the man and woman in front of him looked like a lady and a groom, but they were not, guessing in his heart. Also more and more certain.

Instructing the salesperson at the counter to help Eric prepare things, Rhett Jackman patiently led Eric towards the digital camera area with the same smile.

Next to the other counter, Rhett Jackman handed a postage stamp-sized memory card to Eric, and said, Sir, this is a CF card with 16M storage, which can store up to 100 photos. I need to demonstrate it with a digital camera. For a moment?

Eric looked at the card and shook his head: No, it looks too big, and the capacity is too small.

Rhett Jackman was not angry at all and smiled: Sir, this is already the current technological limit. When the flash memory chip first appeared five years ago, the storage space was only 1M, and the larger storage space is now only possible with hard disks.

Oh, Eric's tone rose a little, suddenly remembered, and asked, Then, is there a hard disk the same size as this CF card?

I've never seen this before, Rhett Jackman shook his head and said, The smallest hard drive is the 1.8-inch hard drive developed by Toshiba, which is used in their portable handheld computers.

Do you have this kind of computer here?

Yes, please come with me, Rhett Jackman said, and brought Eric to the Toshiba product counter, took out a Toshiba PDA and brought it to Eric, and introduced: This is Toshiba. The Libretto20 handheld computer has a 6.1-inch TFT screen, 8M memory, 270M storage space, and a 1.8-inch small hard drive used inside.

When Eric saw Cindy's Walkman in the morning, he quickly thought of an MP3 player. Now, the MP3 audio format patent is in the hands of Yahoo. Because of Yahoo's open licensing policy, it has become the most widely used audio format. , not only widely used on the network, but also has been applied to some CD music discs.

When discussing Yahoo's future strategy with Chris last weekend, the two discussed the possibility of Yahoo's foray into hardware products, and Eric realized that an MP3 player would be the perfect fit.

If he can grasp the complete patented technology involving MP3 players in advance, Eric can use the Yahoo platform to build an online music store, and then firmly grasp the entire music sales industry chain from the network to the terminal. Music in North America The copyright regulations are very strict, and people generally have the habit of paying for music, which means that Yahoo's involvement in online music stores will be promising. If Yahoo's music store can be made into a completely monopolized sales platform, the profits will definitely be no less than hardware sales.

Moreover, MP3 players can be integrated into Nokia mobile phones in advance, which is another development idea.

With these things in mind, Eric simply tried the Toshiba handheld computer, which was like a mini notebook, but he didn't know what the hard drive inside looked like, and subconsciously said, Can you take it apart and take a look?

When Rhett Jackman heard Eric's words, he hesitated a little, but quickly said: Of course there is no problem, sir, but there are no tools here, go to my office?

After Eric asked, he wanted to shake his head. This kind of request seemed too much. Hearing Rhett Jackman's answer, Eric suddenly smiled and said, Do you recognize me?

Rhett Jackman smiled and said, If you don't ask this, I'm not 100% sure, Mr. Williams.
