British 1986

At this moment, Allen didn't know how to describe his mood. In these days, the Internet had just appeared. It took a long time to open a webpage and a long time to load a picture. Who made this smart phone?

Could it be some time traveler?

"What do you mean by a smartphone? Take one and let me see."

Allen even walked to the counter of this IBM brand, regardless of his identity, and said something to the waiter.

"Hello, sir."

The waiter watched as a large number of people came around the counter.

The big men in black clothes in front looked like bodyguards, and the lady looked like the secretary.

And the man who spoke

He doesn't look like a boss, but like a rich second generation, or a nobleman

?

noble?

When the waiter thought of this, he subconsciously straightened his back and looked at the other person's blond hair. If this person is really a noble, then there is a high probability that he is a British noble, and he needs to be treated well.

Thinking of this, the waiter's smile became brighter and he explained: "Our smartphone is not yet on the market. There are only models on the counter. It is now in the pre-sale and display stage."

"Take out the model and tell me about it."

Allen didn't look behind him at all. As soon as he bent his waist, Yasin Rania very wisely pushed a small swivel chair under Allen, just enough for him to sit on it.

Holding a so-called pre-sale smartphone model in hand.

Allen looked left and right. To be honest, looking at it up close, he was slightly disappointed.

This thing is slightly larger than an ordinary mobile phone. The overall shape of the phone is like a straight mobile phone, but the area in the middle of the mobile phone is used as a button area in previous mobile phones.

As for this mobile phone, the buttons have been cancelled, and instead a long screen has been installed.

The model couldn't be turned on, so the waiter bent down and explained to Allen with a brochure.

This mobile phone is the first generation smartphone jointly created by IBM and BellSouth!

Compared with the current mobile phones on the market that only have the function of making calls, this thing actually integrates functions such as a digital assistant, pager, fax machine, calendar, world clock, calculator, notepad, email, games and more.

After such a comparison, theoretically speaking, this is indeed a smartphone. It is so damn smart that it can actually send emails and connect to the Internet!

It was as if while everyone was still fighting with swords, someone suddenly took out an old-fashioned single-shot rifle.

Although both are backward, the latter is obviously an era behind the former.

Wei Wei was a little disappointed, but Alan was very excited to see this thing today.

How to put it? It's like a person traveling in the long river of time, and suddenly feels that the long river of time is flowing.

Allen hasn't played mobile or computer games for many years.

Too much time has passed, and he has become accustomed to writing letters and reporting in person. It was not until he saw this mobile phone today that Allen felt a real sense that a new era was about to come.

In a few years, the technology tree of mobile phones will be greatly improved. First, the size will be reduced, then functions will be added, and finally it will become more and more uncontrollable, moving from 2G to 3G, then 4G, etc.

With the development of the Internet, life will become more and more colorful in the future. Will the slow pace of life of old British people change?

Allen didn't know. Anyway, he was looking forward to this day. The electronics factory at home, which he had blackmailed from the Lis and his sons, was prepared for this day. Now, although the electronics factory can only produce the most rubbish single-board game consoles, As long as you give him time, you can get a share of this industry in the future.

at the moment

Allen looked at the mobile phone model in his hand again, hehe

Americans, it’s time for Mr. Allen to poach you again. You have such talents, but you can actually come up with such a "smartphone" in this technological environment. Don't blame Mr. Allen and me. Jumped out to pick peaches.

Judging from Allen's experience, even though their mobile phone looks flashy, the sales volume will most likely be rubbish.

Because its screen is too big, the battery cannot be too big, and the standby time is very short. In addition, the current network environment is so poor, and it still has a gross network to clean up all these flashy things. It can be said that they The path of smartphones is both right and wrong. When their phone fails, it will be time to poach themselves!

"When will your mobile phone be officially launched?"

"Sir, according to the plan, if everything goes well, we will launch it in the second half of next year. We are still in the final verification stage of the mobile phone. If we encounter special circumstances, there is a small chance that the release will be postponed. As you know, the technology on this mobile phone is currently , it’s really too advanced.”

The waiter kept smiling throughout the whole process and tried his best to introduce.

Allen nodded, saying it easily, isn't that just painting a pie?

It will take at least a year, or nearly two years, to build this thing.

What will mobile phones have developed by then?

At the very least, the miniaturization of mobile phones must be successful. When the time comes, people will have palm-sized mobile phones. If your family builds such a big mobile phone, it will be strange for you not to die.

No matter how many functions it has, it is of no use. The most important function of a mobile phone these days is to make calls. It is convenient. If it is too big, its disadvantages are too obvious when compared with small mobile phones.

Feeling confident, Allen put down the mobile phone model, made a tipping gesture towards Xiao Shitou, nodded to the waiter without saying a word, stood up and left.

A bodyguard hurriedly took two steps, and in the surprised eyes of the waiter, he counted out several fifty-denomination British pounds, handed it to her hand and said, "Your Majesty, this is for your hard work."

After saying this, the bodyguard trotted two steps and followed the team away.

After leaving the mobile phone store and other places, to be honest, Allen suddenly felt that there was nothing he needed to visit.

The things inside are like clothes. He no longer wears such "popular" clothes. At his level, even underwear is hand-customized. He doesn't care about the products outside at all. wear.

In addition to these, other things, such as jewelry, etc., there is a goldsmith in the family, and there is no need for him to buy other things.

Really gone.

Damn it, I came to Harrods today and it was so fucking annoying. The decoration was rubbish and there wasn’t much to buy.

Allen sniffed and motioned to Yasin Rania to take him to a coffee shop or some other place to sit for a while and have a cup of coffee.

He couldn't just walk around and leave. It would appear that he was too perfunctory, and it wouldn't be good if he was misunderstood by the people below.

Although not many people know that Harrods has changed its owner, Alan is still prepared to stay a little longer to maintain a good image.

On the large sofa, Allen crossed his legs.

Holding the coffee cup in his hand, he looked at the street scene outside the window. To be honest, Allen didn't like to see this kind of street scene with extremely dense traffic.

Prosperity is prosperity, but noisy.

He was used to living in that damn place in Wales. When he came to a big city with such an urban style, he instinctively felt uncomfortable. He had to hold back on everything he did. He couldn't be as open-minded as he was at home. Very frustrating.

However, when he thought that he wouldn't be able to stay in London for more than a few days, he would just treat it as a change of taste once in a while. With this thought, Allen's mood improved again when he looked at the red bus that had just passed by on the street.

Yasin Rania was sitting not far from Allen. As an entourage, she could not sit directly opposite. She still understood this rule. At this time, she put her legs together and leaned slightly to one side. Sitting upright, like a conscientious little secretary, drinking coffee and taking a nap with the boss.

Tap tap tap.

There was a rush of footsteps and the sound of high heels, and a slightly irritable female voice was mixed in with the messy footsteps.

"I told you, stay away from me. I finally came to London once, and I only bought a few things. I am a princess, and I only spent so much money. As for it? As for it? It's because our family has no money. Are you done?"

"Your Highness. Your Highness, please slow down. The things here are really too expensive. Before coming, Your Majesty said that your consumption limit is limited."

An old man who looked like a butler followed the girl and tried to persuade her earnestly.

The girl was still carrying two shopping bags in her hands and glanced around. At this time, the cafe was full. There was an empty seat directly opposite Allen, but there were several big men around him who were not easy to mess with. , so that no one dared to sit across from him.

But this girl was very courageous, especially when she saw Allen, her eyes lit up subconsciously, and her steps seemed to be uncontrollable. She couldn't help but walk to the sofa opposite Allen, and spoke in a very ladylike manner. Asked: "Hello. Is there anyone here? I'm tired from shopping and want to sit here and rest for a while."

Allen frowned slightly. He was annoyed by noise the most. Before this person came over, he heard her whirring along the way. Now seeing her just walking across from him, hey.

It would be rude to refuse directly. Allen looked at the lady in the pink skirt expressionlessly and nodded slightly, which was regarded as a response.

Marta Louise looked at Allen expectantly and nodded. Although he didn't speak, Marta Louise still felt very happy.

Women will subconsciously be tolerant to handsome guys, let alone such a handsome guy with such good looks, no amount of tolerance is too much.

Although this person seems to be very cold and doesn't like to talk, but in front of his appearance, everything is not a problem!

She asked the butler to order. After ordering, Marta Louise sat down very ladylikely, tilted her head and looked at Allen. After thinking about it, she bent down and stood up. She took the initiative to stretch out her right hand and said, "Hello. Thank you. Allow me to sit here and rest, my name is Marta Louise from Norway, nice to meet you.”

Xiao Shitou raised his eyebrows as soon as he heard the little girl's introduction. When she mentioned that she was from Norway, Xiao Shitou took a closer look at the face of the lady named Marta Louise. , and then as if he thought of something, he quickly walked behind Allen's sofa, bent down and whispered into Allen's ear: "Master. She seems to be the eldest princess of Norway."

"Um?"

What the hell princess?

I can meet princesses wherever I go shopping?

Allen subconsciously looked up at Marta Louise, who was still holding out her hand.

This person's appearance.

It's a bit kitsch. Although she doesn't look too old, European and American women tend to look very precocious. Generally, those who are fifteen or sixteen years old look very mature.

If I remember correctly, if she is really the eldest princess of Norway, she should be about twenty years old this year, a few years younger than herself.

People of her age give people a very mature feeling. This feeling, coupled with her appearance and the way she looks at herself, give people the feeling that she is very romantic.

Thinking of this, Allen reluctantly put on a smile on his face, handed over his right hand, gently shook Marta Louise's little hand and said his name smoothly.

"Alan, Alan Hill."

Unexpectedly, as soon as her fingers touched her hand, Marta Louise's index finger scratched Allen's palm very dishonestly.

"."

Who am I, where am I, am I being seduced?

Allen rarely encounters such direct people.

"Alan Hill? This name looks so familiar. Are you the Earl who likes to make movies? Earl of Carmarthen?"

When Marta Louise heard Allen's name, her eyes brightened even more, and she didn't let go of Allen's hand, so she asked directly with a curious look on her face.

"It should be me."

Allen used his right hand slightly to pull away the hand held by Marta Louise, and looked at Yassin Rania who had been watching the excitement from the corner of his eye.

"Go and do a survey for me. From the perspective of an ordinary customer, go buy something you like. Then report to me later. Just tell me about your shopping experience."

Now that everyone had recognized him, Allen couldn't just run away, but there was a little light bulb next to him, so he felt a little uncomfortable. He thought of a random reason and prepared to send Yassin Rania away first.

"boss?"

Yasin Rania was slightly confused after listening to Allen's explanation. What is this request?

"I just want to spend money. I want to see if there are any shortcomings here. Buy whatever you want. Go ahead, Xiao Shitou! Give her a card and send someone to follow her and help her carry things."

Allen was too lazy to explain and waved his hand to tell her to go quickly.

Marta Louise watched with a smile as Allen drove away his little secretary like a domineering boss, and the smile on her face became even wider.

This is the traditional aristocracy of Great Britain, so grand!

Although their family is theoretically related to Great Britain, her ancestors are also descendants of Queen Victoria, and even her father, the current King Harald V, still has the right to inherit the British throne.

But they are all nobles, so the differences between them are huge.

She had to be careful about everything she bought. She couldn't afford anything more expensive. Even if she bought some ordinary cosmetics, the housekeeper would nag her and look at her.

You are so generous to your secretary!

What does it mean to buy casually? !

If you can.

Thinking of this, Marta Louise looked at Allen even more wrongly.

She has a carefree personality, but now that she met Allen, she fell in immediately.

After sending Yassin Rania away, Allen glanced at Marta Louise and asked: "Norwegian? Are you the eldest princess of King Harald V?"
