But when Su Xuan used it, he found that the phone didn’t even work as well as his Nokia. It was extrely difficult to use, leaving him speechless. He thought to himself, "This Apple is really hard to use, isn’t it fake?" So he opened the phone to check the serial number, input it for verification, and it turned out to be genuine. The frustration in his heart was real; he thought, "Is this all Apple really has to offer?"
Su Xuan thought about how much money he had spent and decided he had to use it, so he went to get a SIM card cut. It turned out that this damn phone was practically unusable. The signal was terrible, leading him to curse that old man Jobs to pieces every ti he talked. He told everyone Jobs was just a bastard for producing such crappy phones, with resolution so bad it was laughable.
Until one day, he saw Pan Chenyu’s Apple phone, and only then did Su Xuan realize he had been a complete fool. He had bought a counterfeit product, that Apple phone was fake from start to finish. Because he had never used an Apple before, he couldn’t tell it was fake. At that mont, Su Xuan really had the urge to bang his head against a wall.
Actually, this incident happened many years ago, but Su Xuan often recalls it. It taught him that these days there are many scamrs and they erge endlessly; many people are deceived every year. Frankly, Su Xuan thinks the reason people fall for it is because they’re greedy for cheap deals. If people didn’t crave things cheaply, it would be much harder for scamrs to target them.
Back then, wasn’t he also tempted by a bargain? Just think, a phone supposed to sell for four thousand was sold so cheaply, how stupid he was. But in those situations, people are often swayed by the temptation of cheap deals.
Looking at it with hindsight, many scams are really idiotically simple, yet so many people still fall for them. Like those online scams, sending a ssage claiming you’re a lucky viewer selected by so program, then asking you to enter a verification code to log in and claim a prize.
These scams are honestly childish, because they’re often sent from phone numbers. If it were such a great thing, wouldn’t they claim it themselves instead of letting you do it?
But there are still many people who truly believe and log in to the webpage, verify their information, and seeing the so-called authoritative figures’ certifications, they believe it’s real. They fill in their details step by step, and finally, a so-called authority calls, saying you’ve successfully claid your prize but need to advance Wu Qian as a deposit. Many people actually know it’s fake at this point, but there are always so fools who fall for it.
Many tis, Su Xuan intensely detests scamrs, partly due to his own experience, but more so because he feels scamrs are even more hateful than robbers. Those who have been scamd know it’s a feeling that could make you die of anger.
This is not an exaggeration. Didn’t a university student nad Yuyu get scamd out of more than ten thousand in tuition fees? Depressed, he just passed away. This incident later attracted significant societal attention and only through online sleuthing was the scamr found.
This is characteristic of Huaxia; only when lives are lost do matters escalate. But actually, many telephone fraud cases occur in Huaxia each year, and very few are ever traced. Many tis, Su Xuan feels there are sad aspects to Huaxia that only when death occurs are problems taken seriously.
It’s like those who save soone and die; it’s made out to be spectacular. While those who save soone and don’t die are simply considered bystanders. Many tis, Su Xuan thinks this society is just so ssed up.
So when he encountered soone asking if he wanted to buy a phone again, it imdiately triggered Su Xuan’s mories of that ti, leaving him very angry, thinking, "Damn it, trying to make buy a fake phone again, get lost!"
"Handso, take a look, have a look, it doesn’t cost anything!"
That scamr seed genuinely earnest, even persistent. Su Xuan thought, "I have nothing to do anyway, so might as well play along. A few years ago, I was played by you, now it’s my turn to play you back, let you know what it’s like to be scamd."
Thinking about this, a cold smile unconsciously crossed the corner of Su Xuan’s mouth, and then he said.
"Let have a look."
Su Xuan said this with a tempted look. After what happened last ti, he specifically learned about real Apple phones. Although the one he bought before was claid to be a high imitation, so aspects were easy to spot, like the screw at the charging port—Apple uses pentagrams while counterfeits use crosses. Then there’s the pixel quality, which they can’t match. Su Xuan thought he’d see what’s up with this counterfeit version today.
Sotis he found Chinese mimicking skills impressive; their counterfeit products are unparalleled.
The scamr carefully took out the phone and handed it to Su Xuan. Su Xuan looked at the phone’s base, it was indeed pentagramd. Then he powered on the phone and checked the pixel quality; it was top-notch. He thought to himself, "Damn it, it’s real, could it be stolen? Is this not a scamr this ti?"
"How much?"
Su Xuan asked out of curiosity, knowing that the current price for this thing should be at least more than six thousand. Sotis he felt Apple was really a scam, selling a phone at such a price. Frankly, smartphones priced around two thousand basically perform similarly to Apple’s features, but in Huaxia, many people are passionate about Apple; it’s even a symbol of wealth and status. Using an iPhone gives many people a sense of pride.
Even so people actually sold their kidneys to buy an Apple. Every ti a new iPhone model is released, Huaxia always cos up with a series of mind-boggling stories.
For instance, there’s a junior high student who used a knife on his mother because she wouldn’t buy him an iPhone. There’s also a junior high school girl who wanted an iPhone and ended up engaging in activities with an older man to get it. Moreover, there’s a college student whose girlfriend asked for an Apple set; unable to afford it, he sold his kidney.
One can say in a big forest, there are all types of birds. Su Xuan sotis doesn’t understand this world at all. A phone is simply a communication device; it really doesn’t warrant such a price.
"Two thousand six, do you want it?"
The man said nervously, and then added.
