The young sales clerk at the counter saw a customer and carefully placed the radio on the shelf behind him before turning his head to ask, "Comrade, may I help you with anything?"
Mr. Li nodded, feeling rather appreciative of the young man's manners, which were far more courteous than the girl's downstairs. He smiled warmly and asked, "I'm here to look at radios. Do you have any good recommendations?"
The young man's eyes lit up as he calmly brought up four or five boxes from under the counter. The first one he opened contained a black radio about the size of a brick, and he said, "This model is an import from Italy, with imported semiconductors and multiple transistors. The sound quality is exceptionally good. It's a bit pricey though, at 261 yuan, but it doesn't require industrial coupons."
