MTL - The Growth of the Richest Man-Chapter 154 Crazy pre-sale
From May 1st to May 6th, 2009, there is a 6-day pre-sale period of the Hammer 3 mobile phone.
Urban white-collar workers are still quite satisfied with the pricing of Hammer mobile phones. Even the highest matching version, the price is only about 4,000 yuan. For them, those with high incomes will buy them directly, and even buy another one for their girlfriends, boyfriends, or lovers; those with medium incomes, It may take about a month's salary, you can buy it if you bite your teeth, but you may also choose a lower version according to your own needs; those with lower income, or urban white-collar workers who have just come out to work, some of them have been used. 2 months' salary, bought a high-end version of the Hammer 3 mobile phone, and some people chose to buy a low-end version.
It is not a big problem for the urban white-collar group to buy mobile phones. They are all groups that can consume more, and can even consume ahead of time. Even if the price increases a little, they are still acceptable. But for the student party, another important consumer group of the hammer mobile phone, it is indeed difficult for them to deal with the extra few hundred dollars.
Relatively wealthy students may need to save money for a month or two before they can save money to buy a high-profile Hammer 3 mobile phone.

Some students, whose families are relatively poor, cannot ask their families for money.
For most students, the monthly living expenses are less than 1,000 yuan, and the minimum version of the Hammer 2 mobile phone costs 1,288 yuan. They need to save money for two months to basically make enough money. But the Hammer 3 mobile phone, the minimum version, needs 1588 yuan, unless they don't eat or drink for two months, they can collect enough money! If you don't eat or drink, you won't be a fairy.
But for students, it’s not just about asking for money from home! They also do a lot of part-time jobs to earn some extra money. There are still 6 days before the official sale. Many students have started the crazy part-time mode one after another. They are crazy about taking orders in major part-time forums. As long as they can make money, even if they make less money, they will be accepted. Earn a little subsidy and get a new phone sooner. In some part-time forums that are very popular on weekdays, there were originally many posts on part-time jobs, and they could not be accepted. Now there is a situation where there are no orders to accept.
In 2009, it was the second year after the May Day Golden Week was cancelled. But because many college students are trying to make money, this May Day, there is a golden week atmosphere - even after May Day, many people skip classes and go to work part-time to make money.
However, even if you go all out and work part-time for 6 days, the money you can make is only a few hundred dollars, which is not enough to buy the cheapest Hammer 3 mobile phone. For some students, they can buy a mobile phone or borrow some from their classmates and friends by supplementing part of their living expenses. There are also some students who do not choose to borrow money from the people around them, but choose to borrow money from Renren in Renren’s wallet. In this way, they can make themselves less poor. If it is not overdue, no one will find out that they have borrowed money.
Some students who have applied for college credit cards will also use their credit cards to pay for mobile phones. However, in this era, credit cards are not popular, and college students' credit cards are even rarer.
