Reborn since 1993

Chapter 686 The second child of ten thousand years
China’s own Whiplash, no, it’s Batman, an actor with a very narrow acting range, once uttered the classic quote about learning a foreign language while starring in a certain TV series.

Now, Tao Lei also understands the feeling of the person who played Chen Qingquan when he said this!
Tao Lei is not interested in learning English, but he is interested in listening to songs using the Shenzhou repeater. He can do this question!

Nowadays in China, a Walkman, even one with an ordinary plastic body, costs over a thousand yuan. As for Sony's machines, they are even more expensive.

I couldn’t afford a Walkman that cost thousands of dollars in the past, but now I have a chance to buy a repeater at 598 yuan. As for the sound quality, it’s nothing compared to the price. Even if it explodes, people will still praise it!
Not only Tao Lei, there were also quite a few people who were watching and had little interest in the recorder, but their eyes suddenly lit up when they saw the recorder start playing music!

Especially many young people and young couples who came together were eager to try.

Giving Tao Lei a suspicious look, Tao Zhiliang felt that this boy's attitude changed too quickly, from being respectful at first to being arrogant later. He had no idea what he was planning.

But when he saw his little cotton-padded jacket Tao Yan looking at the repeater, she was obviously a little moved. Tao Zhi asked Tao Lei again, "Are you really using the repeater to learn English?"

"I swear to God, if I don't use it to learn English, what else can I use it for?" Tao Lei said aggrievedly.

Tao Zhiliang glared at Tao Lei, but decided to believe this bastard for once. As long as this repeater could improve his college entrance examination scores a little, Tao Zhiliang would feel that the money was worth it.

Although Tao Zhiliang also knew that it was most likely a waste of money, every parent would have this mentality. It's a pity for all parents in the world.

"If you buy a Shenzhou repeater today, you will also receive a pair of headphones and four cassettes, two English learning cassettes and two song cassettes. In addition, a wearable storage bag that originally cost ten yuan will be given away for free today only!"

After the shopping guide said that if you buy a Shenzhou repeater today, you will get three gifts for free, the crowd that was originally waiting and hesitating suddenly rushed over and started taking out money to buy the machine. Most of them were young people, and it goes without saying what they wanted to do with the money.

Seeing this, Tao Zhiliang quickly signaled Zhu Jing to line up, because he knew the production capacity of the Shenzhou repeater.

The pattern we have summarized over the past few years is that any product launched by Dongling Hi-Tech, as soon as it is launched on the market and becomes popular, is basically sold out and the inventory is simply not enough.

After the initial inventory is sold out, production capacity cannot keep up with sales, and the market will enter a stage of supply exceeding demand, and then the price of the machines will be driven up by scalpers!
From electronic pet machines, to Xiaolingtong mobile phones, to Shenzhou USB flash drives, electronic dictionaries, etc., this is the case.

Therefore, Tao Zhiliang knew very well that if he didn't get a product launched by Dongling Hi-Tech at the beginning, he would have no hope of getting it in the next one or two months. If he wanted to buy the machine, he could only buy it at a high price from dealers or scalpers who were hoarding the goods.

After waiting in line for a long time, Zhu Jing finally bought three Shenzhou recorders. Just after she had chosen the colors, the person waiting in line behind her wanted to buy a purple recorder, but it was out of stock!
The Shenzhou repeater is available in only three colors: red, purple and blue, which are also the classic colors of repeaters.

Tao Yan bought a red repeater. After getting it, she felt that the machine was a bit heavier than she had imagined, but the workmanship was very exquisite.

Although the body of the phone is also made of plastic, Dongling Hi-Tech has cooperated with Hanxi New Materials, the supplier of body materials, to develop many new materials and technologies.

The body material used in the Shenzhou repeater now gives Tao Yan a matte texture, and the workmanship does not feel rough.

After getting it, Tao Yan couldn't help but pull out a cassette. She was originally planning to pull out the song tape, but seeing that her father and mother were present, she still took the English tape and put it into the recorder.

After plugging in the earphones, Tao Yan felt that the sound quality was much better than she had imagined.

Looking at the purple Shenzhou repeater that Zhu Jing stuffed into her hands, Jiang Suyi waved her hands repeatedly, "Aunt Zhu, I can't have it, it's too expensive!"

"Here, you can use this thing. It's better to give it to you than to waste it on that bastard!"

Tao Zhiliang spoke to Jiang Suyi in a gentle voice, then looked at Tao Lei who had already started listening to songs on a tape recorder and was shaking his head, which made him very angry.

"Take it. Consider it a New Year's gift from me and your Uncle Tao. I heard from Yanyan that you are also preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination, so you need to learn English well!"

Zhu Jing embraced the little girl from another place and said in a pitying voice that she really liked this little girl Jiang Suyi. The Tao family had also suffered a lot, so she wanted to hold an umbrella for this little girl Jiang Suyi.

Nowadays, a college student can really change the future of a family. As long as Jiang Suyi can graduate and learn something, the fate of the entire Jiang family may change starting with her!
Looking at this repeater, it is the most valuable gift Jiang Suyi has ever received since she was a child.

Holding the gift box in her hand, Jiang Suyi made up her mind, nodded vigorously to Zhu Jing, and accepted the gift. She really needed it.

As for the Tao family, Tao Zhiliang and Zhu Jing, they have no blood relationship with Jiang Suyi, but Jiang Suyi knows that they treat her the same way as Tao Yan.

He made a secret decision in his heart that if Jiang Suyi could make a name for herself in the future, she would do her best to treat the Tao family the same way she treated the Jiang family!
...There was no prior notice and no rumors, but on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Shenzhou repeaters began to be advertised on a large scale and all products went on sale simultaneously.

In addition to the Oriental Times Shopping Mall, Wanjia Electrical Appliance City, and the Shenzhou store, all other offline sales channels and stores of Dongling Hi-Tech, large and small, have begun to post posters advertising the Shenzhou repeaters.

The TV shopping channels under Focus Media also began to promote the Shenzhou repeater.

However, this Shenzhou repeater advertisement is different from previous ones.

The advertisements are mainly targeted at two groups. One is the parent group. If we want to sell the Shenzhou repeater to thousands of households and students who need to learn English, Japanese, Korean, and German, we should not advertise to these people who use the machines, but to their parents who have purchasing power!

Advertisements targeting this group are generally standard, mainly promoting the idea that using a repeater can improve foreign language listening, speaking and other abilities, improve English grades, and make studying abroad easier in the future.

But in advertisements targeting another large group, the Shenzhou repeater seems a little different.

There is only one short advertising film, but it vividly demonstrates another important function of the Shenzhou repeater.

The commercial begins with a beautiful white-collar lady walking out of an office building. However, after a day's work, her face is already filled with fatigue.

Then walk to the bus stop and squeeze onto the bus with a large group of people. This is also the norm for countless office workers.

But on the bumpy and crowded bus, the white-collar worker took out the Shenzhou recorder, put in a music tape, and then a soft music sounded from the background music of the advertisement.

As the music played, the white-collar worker, who originally had a tired face, began to recover his energy.

Then the camera pulled away to show different groups of people, people walking out of factory workshops, students riding bicycles on their way to school, and passengers on trains. Countless people were wearing headphones and had a Shenzhou repeater in their pockets. Together, these people formed a picture of a Shenzhou repeater.

Then there is the advertising slogan of Shenzhou Repeater, "Shenzhou handheld repeater, a scenery on the journey of life, adding more voice to life!"

This advertisement basically tells users that another function of the Shenzhou repeater is that it can not only be used to learn foreign languages, but also to listen to music!
……

The Chinese New Year period is supposed to be a truce, and all large and small companies in the domestic technology industry are on holiday.

Boss Duan of BBK is no exception. After leaving Subor, under the leadership of Duan Yongping, BBK has finally become one of the giants in the domestic electronics industry.

Although BBK was mocked by the media and some people outside the company, who thought that BBK was just imitating a certain Hanxi company, BBK has indeed made a lot of money in recent years with products such as VCD, BBK cordless phones, PHS, and electronic dictionaries.

BBK is indeed not the first company to launch these products, but BBK has a strong ability to learn and improve, and is always able to catch up with the trend in the first place. This has allowed BBK to thrive quite well, and now in the domestic electronics industry alone, BBK has climbed to the second position.

In September last year, BBK introduced investment from Taiwan giant Acer, which greatly increased BBK's strength. It also invited superstars such as Jet Li and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and it was obvious that it was planning to expand overseas.

Duan Yongping was also holding his breath. BBK is now known as the perennial runner-up in the domestic electronics industry, and Dongling Hi-Tech is like a towering mountain, standing in front of BBK.

If BBK wants to become the largest electronics giant in China, it must climb over the mountain of Dongling Hi-Tech!

In his previous life, Duan Yongping had almost brought BBK to the point of becoming the largest electronics company in China. He had already proven himself, but due to family reasons, he chose to retire after a few years and retreated behind the scenes, focusing on investment, leaving behind a legend.

But now, Duan Yongping has no intention of retiring at all. The largest giant in the domestic electronics industry is not BBK, but Dongling Hi-Tech. Even BBK is completely suppressed by the other party. How dare he choose to retire at this time? That would make him a deserter, and his reputation would be gone!

After finishing his meal with his wife and children, Duan Yongping prepared to go out to visit some old friends and important figures. For Chinese people, this kind of interpersonal communication is indispensable during the Chinese New Year. Regardless of one's status, personal connections are maintained bit by bit in this way.

As a result, at this moment, Chen Mingyong, one of Duan Yongping's several disciples, suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"Boss Duan, look at this!"
