Finish lunch near Central Park.

Obey Han Xuan's request and go straight to Fifth Avenue, there are not many people during this time period, white-collar workers go home from work, and it is easy to find a parking space.

In the early 19th century, when the first wealthy New Yorkers chose to live here, it was a country lane, and today it is the center of commerce, residence, culture, shopping and tourism in New York.

Few streets have as many well-stocked, beloved shops as Fifth Avenue.

Walking on Fifth Avenue, you can see men in suits and leather shoes everywhere, and girls in the most fashionable fashion, holding briefcases in and out of high-rise buildings, presenting an elegant picture of modern American life.

After more than 100 years of mulberry fields, Fifth Avenue has always stood at the top, and people have no reason to doubt whether Fifth Avenue can continue to maintain its glory for a hundred years.

The two elders followed behind Han Xuan and toured Fifth Avenue, and wherever they went, they would casually look up and see the tall figure of the Empire State Building at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 33rd Street.

It began to be designed on March 1, 1930 and took 410 days to build, with a height of 381 meters and a total of 101 floors, it is a typical Gothic building, the top gradually slopes and shrinks, and a high TV transmission tower sticks out from above, like a magnified pencil, known as a "pencil-shaped" building.

Walking and looking, walking hundreds of meters, find a place to sell electrical appliances.

The first floor looks like it is more than 200 square meters, the decoration is very classical, Han Xuan thought he had entered the café, where the employees were wearing black uniforms and were eating together.

Skip the refrigerator TV and look directly at the Motorola counter, where there are several "lightweight" mobile phones.

In '73, Motorola launched its first portable cellular phone prototype, and in 1983, Motorola's world's first commercial handheld phone, the DynaTAC8000X, was approved.

Weighing in at a whopping 794 grams, the phone was officially released the following year, with a battery life of 10 hours, 30 minutes of continuous talking, and the ability to save the last 30 call logs, and sold for a whopping $3,995.

Now in the United States, Motorola occupies 60% of the mobile phone market, a total of more than 10 million units were sold last year, which is already a very good sales, and the future Apple iPhone will only take one weekend to break through 10 million, easily surpassing it.

There is no one at the counter, there are many models on it, but they all look similar, and it is estimated that even the clerk can't distinguish them when they are thrown together.

A Caucasian girl in her twenties, who put down her chopsticks, came over with a sweet smile on her face and some freckles next to her nose, and asked, "My name is Brittany, may I ask sir, what do you need?" ”

"It's not us, it's him." Patting his grandson and putting his hands on his shoulders, Guo Muzhou said.

Brittany often encountered this kind of thing, and looked at Han Xuan: "Which one do you like?" Everything is complete. ”

Scratching his head and being distressed, it was not that Han Xuan wanted to buy these bricks, but what could he sell to him, and threw the question back: "What do you think?" ”

"How about this, MicroTAC released in '89, and now it has re-launched a dual-mode version compatible with G** (Global System for Mobile Communications) and TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access), and the call quality is very good, which is the best seller we have here." Brittany picked up a mobile phone and handed it to Han Xuan.

After weighing it twice, it didn't seem to be very heavy, and then I heard her speak: "This one uses the latest clamshell design, 9 inches long, and weighs only 349 grams, do you like it?" Why don't you take a look at IBM's new products? ”

"It's not new, it's not new, okay, sooner or later, get the smart phone out." Han Xuan was speechless and silent, accepting this fact: "Okay, okay, that's it, what about the number?" ”

"Wait a minute, I'll show you." Brittany bent down for a moment and handed him a notebook, densely packed with eleven digits.

The first is the U.S. country code "1", the last three digits are the New York area code "212", and the last seven digits are the subscriber number.

If you look carefully one by one, there are many that are quite easy to remember, and they are all crossed out with a pencil, and it is estimated that they were chosen to be taken.

Old Man Han went to the toilet, and when he saw that his grandson hadn't chosen yet, he asked Brittany, "What special number is there?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a piece of paper was handed to Han Xuan.

It's a lot better now.

After swiping the card, the old man looked at the bill and scolded with a smile: "The mobile phone is only more than 1,000 dollars, and the number cost nearly 20,000 yuan first." ”

"It's an investment, like an antique, it will appreciate in the future."

Return to Manhattan's Upper West Side.

Put the antique on the shelf, there are still a few vacancies, and nearly a hundred slots are full, regardless of quality, at least it looks very shocking.

Han Xuan took off his shoes and curled up in the sofa, if he was at home, Fat Ding or McDull would come to him at this time, just a few days away, he missed them a little.

Barefoot trotted to the kitchen to unplug the charger, fumbled for a while, picked up the phone and pressed the number button to dial it out.

……

The Snow Mountain Ranch has welcomed a group of newborn cattle and sheep, and they have been adapting to the environment here recently, which seems to be good.

Fat Ding waited for Joanna to finish feeding, and lazily lay in the corridor to bask in the sun.

Pooh doesn't leave, he cheats and drinks here, and has a good life, but he goes to Flathead Forest Park to suffer and be a bear stupid?

McDull led the alpaca brothers to live the life of a mountain king, sometimes they didn't come home at night, the master was not there, and no one could cure them.

Two chinchillas try to fall in love before marriage, hiding in their own cabin, the picture is inappropriate for children, and jumps directly into the Jenny turtle in the pool.

...... It was lying on its stomach, and it didn't make any movement.

Han's father put on long leather boots and planned to go to the cowboy to help, Guo's mother cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, only two simple dishes, and her son was not at home, so she would just order it.

The phone rang, and the two of them paused neatly and ran to the table.

"This is Snow Mountain Ranch, may I ask who you are?"

Hearing his mother's familiar voice, Han Xuan smiled and said, "Mom, I bought my mobile phone." ”

"You dead boy! It's been a few days, why are you only calling now? ”

Father's loud voice came, and Han Xuan quietly put his phone farther away: "I'll call you as soon as I bought it, write down the phone number, 12122222222." ”

“…… Don't remember, how is it outside? Still in New York? ”

"Well, I'm going to Rhode Island tomorrow, my grandparents are here, do you want to talk to them?"

"Take care of yourself ......"

Before he finished speaking, the connection was disconnected.

It's an old antique after all, what can you blame for it.

Han Xuan shrugged, took down the battery to continue charging, walked to the sofa coffee table, and dialed it again.

"Meow!"

"Hi ~ Fat Ding."
