Chapter 386 Pretending to be poor was just to test you.
"I asked the owner of that mobile phone shop before, and he said that the accessories for this phone have been out of stock for a long time. He would have to check first to see what accessories were missing."
It will cost 50 yuan to inspect this phone.
If you want to repair this phone, you'll have to find the right parts for me.
If the parts can't be found, it might be impossible to repair, and you'll have to take it away the way it was delivered.
The examination fee is non-refundable.
If other problems occur during the disassembly process, causing the phone to be unable to power on or other issues, they will not be responsible.
After all, this phone already had a lot of problems, so the new problems can't be attributed to it.
If it can be repaired, the repair cost will be more than two hundred yuan.
This phone only cost 200 yuan when I bought it. Repairing it costs more than the phone itself, so why not just buy a new one?
The shop owner also advised against wasting the time and money on repairs.
Just buy a new one.
Although I don't know much about mobile phones, I do know that you get what you pay for.
My roommates' phones all cost over a thousand yuan, and they've been using them without any problems.
Of course, I'm not going to buy a phone that costs over a thousand yuan.
But I think a phone that costs 200 yuan really won't last very long.
So I was thinking of spending a little more money, five hundred yuan, to buy one like you.
That way, there won't be any problems until I graduate.
Jiang He opened the chat software and saw her chat history with her boss.
That's what the boss said.
Zhou Chen scrolled through the chat history a couple of times, and what he said was pretty much the same as what Jiang He had said.
The shopkeeper was even more direct, saying that nobody uses such old-fashioned things these days, and kept urging Jiang He to buy a new phone.
They also sent me pictures of several different mobile phones.
Of course, only one image was loaded; the others wouldn't load at all.
However, just by looking at the text, you can tell that the boss is promoting his own phone.
Jiang He's desire to buy a phone was probably fueled by the boss's constant encouragement.
This boss is in business; he must make more money selling mobile phones.
"How could it cost two hundred yuan to repair a phone? Twenty yuan would be more than enough."
Leave this to me, I'll take it to be fixed, it'll cost you twenty yuan.
If it's fixed, you can continue using it.
Let's put buying a new phone aside for now.
Zhou Chen wanted to fix the phone so that Jiang He would know that the boss was a liar.
Once he fixes the phone, he'll have a serious talk with Jiang He.
These business people are all trying to find ways to take money out of your pocket.
Only by refusing to spend money or buy anything can you prevent others from scamming you.
From now on, I can't just believe everything I hear; I have to discuss things with him first.
Jiang He took out twenty yuan and placed it in front of Zhou Chen.
"Then maybe the boss you know is quite capable."
Here's twenty yuan. If it can be fixed, then fix it.
If it can't be fixed, then you can buy me a new phone from the shop owner, the same model as yours.
I'll give you five hundred yuan later.
Zhou Chen accepted the twenty yuan.
He can definitely find someone to fix it.
These phone accessories are all cheap.
His family is in this business, how could he not know the price of the accessories in this phone?
The two stopped talking. Jiang He finished her homework by drawing pictures, while Zhou Chen read a book.
After finishing the drawing, Jiang He returned the phone to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen took a picture of Jiang He's phone, intending to show it to Uncle Zhang in the technical department beforehand.
Zhou Chen sent the photo to Uncle Zhang in the technical department.
His cell phone was given to him by this Uncle Zhang.
The person said there was a problem with the phone and wanted it repaired, asking how long it would take to fix.
Old Zhang, on the other end of the phone, looked at the photos Zhou Chen had sent.
The manufacturer of this phone brand must have gone out of business by now.
Moreover, do people still use this old model?
This phone has so many problems, what's the difference between it and being scrapped?
Is there any need to repair it?
But this was sent by Zhou Chen.
Could it be that this phone has some precious commemorative significance?
Old Zhang decided to ask him to find out the truth.
If it's something very important, like the young master's first cell phone when he was a child, or a gift from someone very important to him.
So no matter the cost, we must find a way to fix the young master's phone.
However, Lao Zhang learned that the phone belonged to his classmate.
I've been having a lot of problems lately and want to get my phone repaired, but the shop owners all charge exorbitant prices.
He felt his classmate had been cheated and wanted Uncle Zhang to take a look and help fix it.
If this phone doesn't belong to the young master, then it's fine.
“Young Master Chen, your classmate’s phone is a very old model. The manufacturer went out of business a long time ago. I don’t mind repairing the phone.”
I can introduce our company's mobile phones to your classmate. Depending on your classmate's needs, I can recommend a suitable phone.
Zhou Chen frowned as he looked at the message sent by Uncle Zhang.
Why does Uncle Zhang say that?
Although this phone is indeed broken and old, it can be repaired and used again, so why not continue using it?
"Uncle Zhang, is repairing this phone very troublesome? Does it take a lot of time to repair a phone?"
"Young Master Chen, this isn't a matter of time. Unless this phone is truly exceptionally important, there's really no need to repair it."
The manufacturer of this phone went bankrupt a long time ago.
This industry has seen rapid updates and changes in recent years.
The current accessories cannot be used on this phone; they are not compatible.
The accessories for this phone are no longer available on the market.
If repairs are needed, it may be necessary to collect other old phones to remove usable replacement parts.
It's time-consuming and laborious; the cost of repairs far exceeds the value of the phone itself.
Moreover, even if I could find the parts, I'm not sure if I could definitely repair the phone.
If we're lucky it'll be fixed, it'll probably break down again soon.
Young Master Chen, I still suggest your classmate just buy a new phone.
If there is important data on this phone, it's best to back it up while the phone is still powered on.
This phone probably won't be completely unusable for long.
Zhou Chen didn't expect that what Uncle Zhang said was the same as what the boss said.
Zhou Chen suddenly felt that the twenty yuan in his hand was burning hot.
If he insists on taking it for repair, Uncle Zhang will definitely find a way to fix it for him.
However, the cost of repairs cannot be covered by twenty dollars.
If it costs several hundred yuan to repair this phone, then he will have to pay for it.
Uncle Zhang also said that the phone would soon have problems again after it was repaired.
When Uncle Zhang said it would be very fast, it really would be very fast.
What if Jiang He asks him to come and fix it again?
If he accepts the 20 yuan fee to fix the phone this time, Jiang He will definitely give him 20 yuan to fix it again next time.
Jiang He has always been rather stingy with money.
Avoid spending money if possible.
I bought this phone because the shop owner kept recommending it, that's why I wanted to buy it.
I'll definitely still let him fix it, because the repair cost is cheap.
However, if you tell Jiang He that the repair cost is very expensive, she probably won't be willing to spend the money to repair her phone and will still want to buy a new one.
This brings us back to square one.
Zhou Chen regretted speaking too quickly.
