Reborn since 1993

Chapter 689 Robbery
After paying the deposit and getting the Shenzhou repeater from the agent in Cangwu City, Su Mo borrowed a van and drove the machine back to his audio-visual store without stopping.

Then, a sign that read "Shenzhou repeaters for sale in this store" was put up at the entrance of the store.

To be honest, Su Mo was a little nervous. He was just inspired this time because he saw that music tapes were selling well. In addition, he had been in the music industry for so many years, so he instinctively felt that the Shenzhou repeater might be popular.

He invested all his savings into it. If he couldn't sell the machine, he would have to pay a huge sum of money.

At this point, Su Mo began to feel a little worried, but at this point, there was no way out.

Just as the literary youth Su Mo was about to find a loud speaker to record and play the words "Our store sells Shenzhou repeaters", the door of the audio-visual store was pushed open.

"Boss, do you have a Shenzhou repeater?"

"Give me one!"

After getting Su Mo's reply, the young man, who also had long hair, wore a leather jacket, flared jeans, and had a somewhat literary style, spoke to Su Mo happily.

"Boss, give me one!"

While Su Mo was busy packing the Shenzhou recorder, the literary young man picked up a tape of the Pacific Eagles from the shelf and said to Su Mo.

Su Mo took a look at the tape. Although they were all pirated, that tape was of an overseas band. Most of them were circulated from Hong Kong and other places to the mainland. They were expensive to begin with, usually selling for more than ten yuan.

Normally, if anyone dares to talk nonsense, just give him a box of overseas music tapes and he will definitely scold you back.

But today, after taking a look at the young artist and the Shenzhou repeater in his hand, Su Mo readily agreed, "We just opened today and I want to have good luck. Please take care of our business in the future!"

“The boss is awesome!”

After hearing this, the artistic young man gave Su Mo a thumbs up and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell my friends when I get back. They also want to get this repeater!"

Su Mo laughed, but he didn't expect him to bring him new buyers or anything. The key point was that he would not lose money on this order, he just made less money.

For selling a Shenzhou repeater, Su Mo can get a 10% commission, which means that for this order, he could originally earn 59.8 yuan, nearly yuan, but now he earns yuan less.

After the buyer left, Su Mo counted several times again before finally confirming that the profit from this order was higher than the profit of his audio-visual store in three or four days!
Not long after the deal was completed, Su Mo was planning to put some of the hundreds of machines in the attic, but before he could even move, people started coming in one after another to buy machines.

Originally Su Mo was worried whether he could sell all 500 machines within two days, but when he looked up, he saw that a long line had started forming in front of the store without him noticing!

On the entire street, more than a dozen audio and video stores were looking at Su Mo's small, shabby store. They lined up in long queues and watched buyers walk out of his store with their computers.

Although no one knows how much Su Mo has earned, many of his colleagues are envious and some are looking for ways to resell the Shenzhou repeater. However, after making a round of phone calls, they only got two answers: there is no stock!

The street lights were on. Su Mo, who had been standing all day, pulled down the rolling door and sat down on the bench.

He had never thought that collecting money could be tiring, but today he experienced it for the first time.

After collecting money for the entire afternoon, he didn't even drink a sip of water. Although he was thirsty, Su Mo didn't bother to drink water, but hurriedly started to take inventory of the goods.

There were originally several large boxes filled with Shenzhou repeaters, but now there is only one box left, with only dozens of machines. In other words, on that day alone, he sold nearly 440 machines, with a turnover of 263,120 yuan!

According to the 10% commission, Su Mo can get a commission of yuan on that day, which is three or four times more than what he earned in this shabby store last year!
"Clang!"

Originally, Su Mo was planning to sort out the money in the box and deposit it in the bank tomorrow, but his legs went weak and the box of money fell to the ground, followed by a "mountain of money" scattered on the ground.

The mountain of money made up of hundreds of thousands of coins had a huge visual impact on people who had never seen such a scene. Su Mo just stood there, looking at the small "mountain of money" in front of him.

This scene is just like the visual impact when Zhao Dehan, who eats noodles and garlic all over his body, sees a wall made of money in the villa in the TV series starring Qi Tongwei.

At the moment, the "mountain of money" that Su Mo sees is definitely not as big as the one that Zhao Dehan sees, but for people nowadays, when money has not yet depreciated and most people only have a monthly salary of a few hundred yuan, this visual impact is still unimaginable.

But after a moment, Su Mo came back to his senses and hurriedly began to sort out the bills on the ground. This money was indeed tempting, but he knew that as long as he could continue to get the machine, he might earn much more than what he saw now!

It was not just Sumo. Advertising posters for Shenzhou repeaters were hung in audio-visual stores in large, medium and small cities and even in county towns. From big cities such as Yanjing, Shanghai, and Yangcheng, to cities such as Hanxi provincial capital, Yuhang, and Quancheng, and then to county towns, and even supply and marketing cooperatives and home appliance repair shops in towns, Shenzhou repeaters were available. It began to sweep the domestic market like a hurricane!
……

On the third day of the sale, which was the third day of the Chinese New Year, news suddenly came out that the Shenzhou repeater was out of stock in an electronics mall in Yanjing.

Generally speaking, when this kind of news comes out, it means that the Shenzhou repeater is sold out and the production capacity cannot keep up with the sales!

It is hard to say whether these rumors are true or false, but it is obvious that domestic electronic technology companies are starting to get angry.

Manufacturers including BBK, Panda, and Subor didn't care about the New Year and started to recruit people to develop their own repeaters.

At this time, "Electronic Technology" magazine published its latest issue, and the cover was the Shenzhou repeater, with a string of numbers, 47 followed by four zeros, indicating that the sales of the Shenzhou repeater exceeded 47 units in three days!

"Wow!"

As soon as this news came out, the entire domestic technology industry was in an uproar. All parties had no doubts about the sales volume of Shenzhou repeaters reported by the Electronic Technology Magazine. After all, the organizer of this magazine was Hanxi University of Electronic Science and Technology.

As a local media in Hanxi, Electronic Technology Magazine has no difficulty in obtaining sales volume of Shenzhou Repeater and has channels to do so.

However, this sales volume still surprised the domestic technology industry. The sales volume of 47 units, according to the official sales price set by Dongling Hi-Tech, means that the sales revenue exceeded million!
A revenue of 280 million in three days is an incredible achievement in the domestic technology industry.

This achievement is not as good as the sales frenzy caused by the launch of the Shenzhou electronic dictionary, nor can it break the record of single-day sales of over 140 million yuan set in the country on the day the electronic dictionary went on sale. However, the sales volume of the electronic dictionary is the sales volume in the domestic and overseas markets.

However, the Shenzhou repeater completely relies on the domestic market. There was no pre-launch promotion or other warm-up activities. Not even a single unit has been sold overseas. To have achieved such sales volume in just three days is really amazing!

Even though it is not as good as an electronic dictionary, the Shenzhou repeater is already something that is out of reach for countless domestic companies.

Subsequently, a report by Hanxi TV confirmed the authenticity of the report by Electronic Technology Magazine.

"At the beginning of the first day of this year, Dongling Hi-Tech, a well-known technology company in our province, released a new product under the Shenzhou brand. Since the launch of the Shenzhou repeater, sales have exceeded 475,840 units, becoming one of the most popular products in the domestic electronic technology market since the beginning of this year!

The Hanxi Provincial Government Office and the Hanxi Industrial Department arrived at the Tanglin Hi-Tech Electronics Industrial Park in Pingyang for inspection today.”

The news report from Hanxi TV confirmed that the Shenzhou repeater was indeed selling out.

After seeing the sales of Shenzhou repeaters, many people in the domestic technology circle even had a feeling that any product, as long as it has the Shenzhou brand, will be sold out? !
But no matter what these companies think, Dongling Hi-Tech has indeed opened up a new track. If other companies want to get a piece of the pie, they have to follow Dongling Hi-Tech, unless they can also create a new track themselves.

After the report by Hanxi TV, Shenzhou repeaters were out of stock one after another in electronic retail stores in Yanjing and other places. Then another piece of news came out, which added fuel to the fire for the already snapped-up Shenzhou repeaters, and they started to be snatched up!
"Excuse me, Director Cao, you must have seen the advertisement of Shenzhou repeater. What do you think of this product? Do you think it should be used as a home teaching aid?"

During a program on the Central Media Education Television, the host, after asking the guest, a director of the education department, some questions about domestic education, suddenly asked Director Cao about the Shenzhou repeater.

The host asked this question with an ulterior motive. He was not asking about repeaters at all. Instead, he was using the Shenzhou repeater to ask Director Cao whether it was true that the previous rumors about strengthening the listening and speaking aspects of the domestic high school entrance exams, college entrance exams, and university foreign language exams were true.

Director Cao certainly understood the true meaning of this question. He paused for a moment and said with a smile, "No matter what tool it is, it is people who use it. How much effect it can have is also the effect of people!

We never force, oppose, or particularly encourage anyone to use educational assistive devices.

Whether to use educational assistive devices depends mainly on the family and the individual learning situation of the students..."

Listen carefully, sometimes not opposing is actually supporting!

People who have experience in interpreting various municipal government documents and news broadcasts, when they heard what Director Cao said, they knew that he had actually started to spread the word that it was probably only a matter of time before the document on the English reform in the education sector was issued!

That evening, the Yanjing Evening News published an article stating that "the domestic foreign language exams such as the middle school entrance exam and the college entrance exam will include additional listening and speaking sections..."

As soon as the news came out, it was reprinted by major media and quickly spread throughout the country.

The result was that the day after the news broke, long queues began to form in front of stores selling Shenzhou repeaters!
