Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 139 Don't let your child lose at the starting line!
Zhao Ye put the investigation report on the table. Secretary Liu Yinyin walked in at this time and said, "Boss, Zhongshan Rihua Electronics Factory is about to release... a learning machine. Factory director Duan Yongping invited us to participate in the product launch event!"

Since Zhongshan Rihua Electronics Factory was the first company to launch game consoles among all the chips and game motherboards purchased from Wujiang Group, Liu Yinyin felt that the boss might be interested to know.

Zhongshan Rihua Electronics Factory is the predecessor of Xiaobawang learning machine, and it will definitely be a major customer of Wujiang Group in the future.In addition, Duan Yongping is a big boss in his previous life. After he left Xiaobawang, he founded the Backgammon Group. OPPO and vivo mobile phones are all related to him.

Therefore, face still has to be given, after all, Duan Yongping should be a major customer of Wujiang Group in the future.

Zhao Ye thought for a while and replied:
"Zhongshan Rihua Electronics Factory is not well-known nationwide, and the main purpose of inviting Wujiang Group this time is to take advantage of the situation.

"The better the factory's learning machines sell, the better it is for us.

"I won't participate, just ask a vice president to participate!"

Liu Yinyin nodded upon hearing this.

Zhao Ye said again: "Oh, by the way, pay close attention to the changes in the learning machine market!"

"Yes!"

Domestic home game consoles are all called learning machines, otherwise they would not be easy to sell, and the market for learning machines is very large. After all, China has such a large population that learning machines were very popular even in rural areas in previous lives.

The domestic learning machine market alone can support a chip company, and it can still live well!
……

……

On March 3, the long-developed learning machine of Zhongshan Rihua Electronics Factory went on the market.

Originally, when domestic companies release products, they generally do not hold press conferences, but since Wujiang Group has this habit, major manufacturers have followed suit.

Although the Rihua Electronics Factory is only a small factory, Duan Yongping was willing to spend money on advertising for the Xiaobawang learning machine, so many newspapers and media came to attend the press conference one after another.

The press conference hadn't started yet, the reporters in the audience were idle, whispering and chatting casually.

"The press conference of Rihua Electronics Factory seems to be quite lively, with a lot of people."

"It is said that even Wujiang Group sent people to attend the press conference. The editor-in-chief of our newspaper office heard this news, so he sent me to attend the press conference of Rihua Electronics Factory. Otherwise, why would our newspaper office pay attention to this small factory? Woolen cloth?"

"Haha, our newspaper office sent me here because Rihua Electronics Factory spent a lot of money promoting their factory's new products."

"By the way, what is a learning machine?"

"..."

Duan Yongping was dressed in a suit and leather shoes today, feeling excited and nervous at the same time.

Soon, the press conference began. Duan Yongping took a deep breath, walked to the stage with a smile on his face.

After some greetings, I introduced the Xiaobawang learning machine.

"The product developed by our factory is called Xiaobawang learning machine. This product is mainly used to learn keyboard typing and computer programming! Among the domestic high-income groups, the most popular are typists and programmers.

The income of typists is twice as high as that of ordinary workers. The most important feature is that typists have low learning difficulty and have become a profession that countless people yearn for.

The income of a programmer is much higher than that of a typist. Although the difficulty of learning has increased a lot, as long as the child's programming ability is cultivated from an early age, the child will be able to become a programmer when he grows up. An income of more than 1000 yuan can be as high as tens of thousands of monthly salary! "

"When other people's children grow up, they only get a salary of 200 yuan a month, but because your children bought the Xiaobawang learning machine, they practiced programming since they were young, and became programmers when they grew up. They worked for a month. The income is more than other people's annual income!"

"Don't let your children lose at the starting line!!!"

Duan Yongping said in a loud voice, "So, if parents think about their children, they should buy the Little Bawang learning machine for their children!"

"Next, let me show you the functions of the Xiaobawang Learning Machine!"

After speaking, the staff took the Xiaobawang learning machine and a TV to the stage, connected all kinds of wiring, and then started the demonstration.

In order to promote the Xiaobawang learning machine, Rihua Electronics Factory developed typing games and BASIC compiler software.

It is worth mentioning that Duan Yongping was so ingenious that he did not know where to invite a teenager to sit in front of the Xiaobawang learning machine to give a demonstration for everyone.

Good guy, the reporters were indescribably surprised to see a ten-year-old child typing and programming proficiently, and kept pressing the shutter of the camera to take pictures of the child.

If a 10-year-old child can write some simple programs abroad, this is nothing more than commonplace.But in China, it is indeed rare.

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions now, Duan Yongping was secretly happy.

After a while, the program written by the child began to debug the runtime.

The output on the screen shows a sentence: "Hello, World!"

Hello World!
Probably the first program every programmer learns is this demo program.

Because this is the first demonstration program used in C language, later programmers continued this habit when learning programming or debugging equipment.

The reporters at the scene did not understand computers, and thought it was amazing that a ten-year-old child could also write programs.

At this time, it was Duan Yongping's turn to take the stage. If he didn't take the stage, he would be exposed. This kid only knew this procedure.

"As you can see, with the Xiaobawang learning machine, children can also learn programming on it. However, there is a saying in China called 'combination of work and rest'. Learning programming is a very boring and tiring process, so Children need to relax and relieve fatigue. The Xiaobawang learning machine just meets this point, and it can also be used to play games! Basically, all games on the market can be played with the Xiaobawang learning machine, such as "Super Mario , Calabash Brothers, Pokemon, Street Fighter, etc..."

Before Duan Yongping finished speaking, the audience was dumbfounded.

This isn't a learning machine, it's more like a game console!No, this is a game console at all, but it's just a learning machine!Moreover, the Xiaobawang Learning Machine is even better than the "Qongqi Game Console", and even the games on the Nintendo "FC Game Console" platform can be played.

Duan Yongping smiled when he saw this, I said it is a learning machine, it is a learning machine, the game function is just incidental, you don't have to buy a game cartridge at all.It's just that if your child can't bear it, then don't care about my business?
On that day, the Xiaobawang game console became popular overnight.

Major evening newspapers have reported on the grand occasion of the product release conference of Rihua Electronics Factory, triggering heated discussions among the people.

In a dilapidated courtyard house in Peking.

"Father, please read this newspaper. It says that a factory has launched a product called Xiaobawang Learning Machine, which allows children to learn keyboard typing and programming from an early age. When children grow up, they can become typists. Or a programmer! Isn’t Wu Jinfei, the son of Aunt Liu next door, a programmer? It is said that he works in Wujiang Group with a monthly salary of 2400 yuan! The combined monthly salary of the two of us is less than 400 yuan, which is enough for others. It doesn’t matter... the child’s father, or else we will bite the bullet and buy a Xiaobawang learning machine for the child, let him learn programming by himself from an early age, and even become a typist when he grows up at worst!” A woman said to her husband, “typing Employees are still very popular now, and many companies are rushing to get them!"

The husband thought for a while when he heard the words, and nodded: "Okay, then buy a Xiaobawang learning machine for my son! By the way, daughter-in-law, how much is a Xiaobawang learning machine?"

"One set costs 599 yuan, but there is also a learning card, BASIC programming manual, and "Pokemon" as a gift."

"It's a bit expensive. The two of us can only afford a Little Overlord game console with two months' salary, but for the sake of my son's future, no matter how expensive it is, I still have to buy it. By the way, I can afford the learning card and the BASIC programming manual." I understand, it probably has something to do with learning programming, but what is this "Pokemon"?"

The wife replied: "The newspaper said that the Xiaobawang learning machine can also play games. This is called a combination of work and rest. When children are tired while learning programming, they can play games to relax."

"Oh, so that's the case. The combination of work and rest is very good. The manufacturer of the Xiaobawang learning machine is very thoughtful."

……

At this moment, the explosion of Xiaobawang learning machine has attracted the attention of the industry.

"It's still possible to do it like this, to sell the game console as a learning machine. I really admire the manufacturer of the Xiaobawang learning machine. This idea is really brilliant!" A family also bought Wujiang's chips and motherboards. The director of the factory was a little dumbfounded, and immediately slapped his thigh and said loudly, "Made, our factory also needs to make such improvements. It is not too simple to add a keyboard and sell it as a learning machine. However, If you don’t improve like this, how can you beat your competitors?!”

Colleagues tacitly, imitated one after another.

It takes time to imitate, and for a while, the Xiaobawang learning machine became popular in China.

Perhaps it is because Wujiang Group charges high prices for software engineers, which has led to many parents in China hoping that their children will grow up to be software engineers.

But if you want to learn programming, you must first have a computer.

The price of a computer is 2 to [-] yuan, or even more.

Where can ordinary families afford it?
At this time, the Xiaobawang Learning Machine was born.

Many parents compare the Xiaobawang learning machine with a computer, and feel that the Xiaobawang learning machine is cheap, and they can also learn programming, so buying a Xiaobawang learning machine is really affordable.

In a short period of time, the sales volume of the Xiaobawang learning machine exceeded 5 units, setting off a wave of domestic home game consoles and causing shock to the media and the industry.

Not long after, a variety of learning machines were launched one after another.

Although the individual sales volume is not as large as that of the Xiaobawang learning machine, it is better because there are many brands, and the total number is still considerable.

After a week, the total sales of all learning machines across the country exceeded 10 units, and the growth trend is becoming more and more obvious.

It seems that the Xiaobawang learning machine has been passed down by word of mouth among children, and the word of mouth is extremely good.

Lu Xiaoming took his eight or nine-year-old son to the shopping mall for shopping. He never thought that when his son passed by a store selling electronic products, he would desperately refuse to leave.

"Dad, Dad, this is good, I want this!"

Lu Xiaoming looked at the price of the product, good guy, 599 yuan, really expensive!
"Son, things are too expensive, let's not buy them."

"Dad, Dad, I want the Xiaobawang learning machine, I want to be a programmer, and I will earn more than 1 yuan a month in the future!"

Seeing this, the shop owner hurriedly introduced the Xiaobawang learning machine to Lu Xiaoming. After listening to it, Lu Xiaoming was a little moved. Seeing that his son insisted on the Xiaobawang learning machine, he gritted his teeth and bought one.

Things like this are happening on a large scale across the country.

The sales of learning machines are rising steadily.

However, the competition in the domestic learning machine market is becoming more and more fierce, and a large number of factories will eventually close down. Only the Wujiang Group standing behind the scenes is making money!
