Preface:
In recent years, the rapid development of science and technology has led to the emergence of a variety of novel digital products, and for digital enthusiasts, finding a used product with special functions or unique charm is a rare gain!
Just recently, I found a striking thermal imager in a thrift market, which piqued my interest.
That day, I wandered around the thrift market as usual, hoping to find some interesting treasures.
Just as I was about to leave, a thermal imager in the corner caught my attention. It's an old-looking but still durable instrument that detects the heat distribution of objects in the infrared, allowing us to see heat maps that are not normally visible to the naked eye. This is undoubtedly a very interesting tool for a digital enthusiast.
I walked over to the stall and asked my boss about the thermal imager.
The owner was an elderly middle-aged man with a hot cup of tea and didn't seem to have much interest in my visit. I asked him about the price of the thermal imager, and the boss did not hesitate to offer a high price, directly asking for 2,000 yuan.
The price surprised me because the thermal imager wasn't very appealing in appearance, and as a used item, it couldn't be worth that much.
Although I was a little unhappy with my boss's asking price, my interest in the thermal imager kept me patient.
I tried to communicate with my boss to learn more about this instrument. The boss told me that the thermal imager had been purchased abroad by one of his relatives, and it cost a considerable amount of money at the time.
But since relatives had recently stopped using it, they entrusted the boss to help sell it. The boss said that he didn't know much about this thing either, so he just set a price based on his feelings.
After listening to my boss's explanation, I have a clearer understanding of the value of this thermal imager.
Although its appearance is not conspicuous, thermal imaging technology has a wide range of applications, especially in industry, medicine, security and other fields have an important role. Deep down in my heart, the desire for this thermal imager became even stronger.
I tried to haggle with my boss to get the camera home at a more reasonable price.
However, the boss has insisted on his asking price, claiming that the value of the thermal imager is far more than 2,000 yuan. I was a little disappointed, but I wasn't willing to give up. So, I decided to adopt some other strategies.
I started sharing with my boss examples of the use of thermal imaging technology in various fields, hoping to pique his interest and give him a deeper understanding of the value of this thermal imager.
I talked about the importance of thermal imaging technology in industrial applications, such as equipment inspection, power maintenance, and building heat leak detection.
I also mentioned the use of thermography in diagnosing breast cancer and monitoring body temperature in the medical field. Through these cases, I hope to make the boss realize the actual value of this thermal imager, not just treat it as a piece of decoration or a used item.
After some patient explanation and sharing, the boss's attitude began to soften.
He said that although he did not know much about this field, he had a certain understanding of thermal imaging technology through my introduction. Despite this, the boss was still unwilling to accept the price I gave and still insisted on asking for 2,000 yuan.
Faced with my boss's insistence, I decided to adopt another strategy. I told my boss that this thermal imager is not an ordinary digital product for me, but a love and pursuit of technology.
I explained that while I was able to purchase a brand new thermal imager, I had a special emotional connection to this used one.
I see this sentiment as a memorial and tribute to the history of technological development, not just a tool. I told my boss that even if he gave me this thermal imager, I wouldn't measure its value in money.
This remark made the boss a little moved and surprised.
He looked at me, thought for a moment, and finally made up his mind. The owner told me that he decided to sell me this thermal imager at no cost, except that I would really treat the instrument well and play its role.
Hearing the boss's decision, my heart was filled with joy and gratitude.
I expressed my sincerest thanks to the owner and promised to treat this thermal imager as a precious item to keep and use well.
From this experience, I realized that in the thrift market, sometimes it is not only the value of the items, but also the communication and understanding between people.
Through communication and sharing with my boss, I not only gained a unique thermal imager, but more importantly, I established a trust and friendship.
This thermal imager has become a treasure of my digital collection, and every time I use it, I feel the infinite possibilities that technology brings us.
I will continue to explore and learn, let this thermal imager shine with its unique light, and use it to explore more uncharted territory.
Summary:
To sum up, this experience of discovering and acquiring this thermal imager in the thrift market is a big gain from my digital collection. Through communication and communication with my boss, I not only acquired an interesting old item, but more importantly, I developed the ability to communicate and understand with others.
This has made me love digital technology even more and willing to share this love with others. I believe that in the future world of technology, there will be more similar wonderful experiences waiting for me to explore and discover.
