469 Launching Day
'Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din!'
The crowd quickly rushed in after Landon, the board of directors and their own families went into the building.
Today was a Saturday..... and so Principal Stiltskin, his wife, his son, their grandkids were also here as well.
Of course, his other sons and only daughter were currently at work.
So he took the rest of the family over for today's event.
They walked into the massive building and immediately saw several signs with arrows on the walls.
There were also detailed maps showing the building layout, which showed every public store and area within the building.
Heck!.... Even the toilets had been shown.
These maps were similar to those shown in malls back on earth.
As for those living in Baymard, they too were already very familiar with these maps since they were in most commercial buildings too.
Principal Stiltskin and his family looked at the map and decided to first check out the Phone company called 'Rocky'.
As they about to move, someone yelled out Stillskin's name.
"Stilly!
Ahh!... you're really a bad friend.
Why didn't you tell me that you were coming here with your family too?"
Stiltskin turned around and saw his friend who was one of the head researchers in the Zoo.
"Rudolf you arse!
Why do you always have to yell my name out like that?"
"What?... are you the only Stiltskin in Baymard?"
"You are seriously a trouble maker!"
"Hehehe.... you're my friend.... so what does that say about you?"

.
Of course their families all knew each other, so everyone greeted one another and all walked past a wide hallway on their left, before reaching a massive spacious store.
The store's walls were grey in colour, and there were also several potted indoor plants strategically placed around the place too.
In addition to that, all the tables were white and were also designed to look exactly like rocks..... which fitted the name Rocky.
The company had really gone out of its way to give the place that mountain-Jungle vibe
Of course, each table also showed the logo of the company.... and made people remember the company name even more.
Again, if one looked on the walls..... one would also see several phones hanging on the walls as well.
Principal Stiltskin and his family were utterly shocked when they saw this.
Their words were stuck in their throats for a brief moment before they could finally speak again.
It was real!
The things in the newspapers were all real!
Now on, they would be able to talk to each other within Baymard, no matter how far apart they were.
If they wanted to make an appointment with the hospital, they could just call... rather than driving there.
If someone wanted something from them in their offices, a simple phone call would do... rather than flying around the place left, right and center.
All hail his majesty!
Their bodies trembled and their heartbeats quickened slightly.
Did you ever think that it would be possible several years ago?"
"No, not in a million years!
Rudolf..... times have changed!"
"It has indeed, old friend.
Hahahaha.... at least now, I'll get to talk to my grandkids everyday if I wanted to.
So where do we begin?
The room is divided into 2.
To the left are phones from LX... and to the right are phones from Eagle
Which one do you want to check out first?"
"Hmm... let's look at Eagle first!"
With that, they quickly walked towards the right... and headed to the first table there.
.
On the massive table, the phones were all spread out evenly.... with their properties and qualities all shown just beside them, as well as their phone plans that the company offers too.
And just behind the tables, were 2~3 staff workers who were currently answering any customer questions there.
As they made their way to the table, they saw some people smiling sheepishly, while pretending to make phone calls with their fingers.
As well as some people who were already arguing with their spouses on what their household needed.
Of course, there were also some people who were already making plans with the workers to have the phones installed in their homes later on.
Yup!
If people had decided on what to get, they could choose a plan, pay the initial phone and phone plan deposit, and the rest would be history.
For sure, if some wanted to buy the phone upfront first.... then that wasn't a problem, as they could do that and only focus on phone plans instead.
Stiltskin, Rudolf and their families speedily fought through the crowd and finally managed to squeeze their way to the front of the first table there.
Stiltskin looked at all the phones within the 1S range in awe.
They all had slightly different designs and phone plans as well.
But what he had noticed, was that all of them had been made to focus more on particular properties and factors when compared to their peers.
Some had features like 'talking clock', while others even gave the option of controlling receiver loudness volume..... And so on.
Bottom line, there was a phone for everyone here.
"Darling look!
Rather than buttons, this one has some sort of circular ring with holes on its base.
Eh.... the description says that it's a rotary dial pad with 10 finger holes on it.
And the phone handset is so thin, elegant and beautiful when compared to the rest."
"I agree... I want that one too!"
The phone that their wives were talking about, looked like the phone used in Disney's 101 Dalmatians by Cruella Deville.
Its design was also a very popular phone used by very elegant women back in the days.
There were many designs and colour patterns in the store for this type of phones.
Some had white marble crystal designs, others were painted bold, black, marble red and so on.
In short, the design had actually caught the attention of many women in the store.
.
"Darling please... let's get it instead?"
"Well, let's look at all the others first too Alright?
Who knows.... you might just change your mind later on."
"Fine!
But my mind is made up!"
"Me too!
Hmph!
