Reborn since 1993

Chapter 690 Standing on the Wind

As a country that attaches the most importance to the education of the next generation in the world, which domestic parent would like to see their children lag behind others in the college entrance examination?

Regardless of whether the Shenzhou repeater is useful for improving foreign language skills, if you don’t buy it, you will feel like you’ve lost out, and you may even feel like you’re falling behind in life…

When Director Cao of the Education Department announced that foreign language exams would include the addition of speaking and listening components, people with experience knew that a new trend had actually already taken shape.

But this cannot be blamed on Director Cao, or the education department, for favoring Dongling Hi-Tech or something like that. This is because a new policy that affects hundreds of millions of Chinese people and families must be leaked in advance, and then launched naturally.

It is impossible to launch it suddenly. Wouldn't it cause chaos? How many people can survive the sudden attack?

For a time, it could be seen that no matter in big cities or small towns, countless people were rushing to buy the Shenzhou repeater.

Even the next day, someone from the education sector came out to "refute the rumors," claiming that the foreign language examination plan had not yet been finalized.

Moreover, it is claimed that even if listening questions are added to the college entrance examination, it will not be implemented immediately. It will take two years at the earliest. Moreover, the listening score of the college entrance examination will not exceed 20% of the total score, which means that the listening questions of the college entrance examination will only be worth points, etc.

But at this time, "debunking rumors" is completely useless. The atmosphere has already been created, and it is obvious that the foreign language listening comprehension part of the college entrance examination really needs to be changed.

This year's senior high school students don't have to worry about this, and even the college entrance examination candidates next year or the year after don't need to worry about it. But do parents of students whose children are in junior high school or elementary school and have not yet taken the college entrance examination need to worry?
That's 30 points in the college entrance examination. Every point counts. A one-point difference can determine whether you go to a prestigious university or a junior college. The job you can find after graduation is also very different. It really is a point that determines your fate. Who dares to underestimate it? !
The more the rumors were debunked, the more they sold out. Parents from all over the country started buying them up, packing up repeaters and foreign language tapes and taking them away without even asking the price. After all, can life be measured by price?
Parents want to buy repeaters for their children to learn foreign language listening, and young people, couples, office workers, etc. want to buy Shenzhou repeaters to listen to music for entertainment.

When a product becomes a product that is popular among elementary school students, middle school students, high school students, college students, young people, couples, and office workers, it would be unreasonable if it is not snapped up!
……

"750!"

"750 flat price, the last one, only the blue model, do you want it?!"

In Su Mo's shabby little audio-visual store, Su Mo said in a hoarse voice that this was the fifth day he had been selling the Shenzhou repeaters and he had already received three batches of machines.

The price of his goods also went up, from 598 yuan per machine to 620 yuan, 650 yuan, 700 yuan, and now it has increased to 750 yuan per machine, and he doesn't have to worry about not being able to sell the machine.

To be honest, Su Mo has already given a "conscientious" price. He is too timid to ask for a high price. The price increase is still relatively small. Some scalpers have already offered a price of around 900 yuan.

Moreover, it was not easy for Su Mo to get the goods from the agent in Cangwu City. If it were not for the fact that Su Mo was named by Guan Zhenming, the marketing manager of Dongling Hi-Tech Guangdong Branch, he would not be able to get the machine at all.

Because there is simply not enough supply, the staff in the production department of Dongling Hi-Tech are on rotation leave during the Spring Festival holiday, and only one-third or even one-quarter of the people are at work. The same is true for parts suppliers, so the production capacity cannot be increased at all!
Faced with such an almost crazy market and the inability to increase production capacity, what is the result? Of course, supply exceeds demand. The retail price of the Shenzhou repeater has also been rising rapidly under the manipulation of various retailers and scalpers.

Even now during the Chinese New Year, there are signs of giving Shenzhou repeaters as gifts. Giving health products, alcohol, or tea as a gift is not as impressive as giving a Shenzhou repeater.

After all, leaders, bosses, and elders also have children and younger generations who go to school. Giving them health supplements is not as good as giving them a Shenzhou repeater, which is more appealing to them!
With the addition of various buffs, the Shenzhou repeater was in great demand, and the insufficient production capacity further exacerbated the rush.

Even Dongling Hi-Tech was caught off guard. They did not expect that the Shenzhou repeater would be hyped to such an extent as soon as it was launched on the market.

According to Dongling Hi-Tech's plan, it will first seize a part of the leisure and entertainment market, which is the market share originally occupied by Sony Walkman. With the price advantage of Shenzhou repeater, it has an absolute advantage over Sony Walkman.

After two years, when the new policy on foreign languages ​​is implemented at home and abroad, we will be able to reap another wave of benefits.

But no one expected that the education department would leak the news in advance, which directly triggered the market in advance, but Dongling Hi-Tech was short of manpower and its production capacity was directly reduced...

"He doesn't want it, but I do!"

"I'll give you an extra fifty bucks, give me this machine!"

"I want it, I want it, who says I don't want it!"

Faced with Su Mo's quotation, a man in the queue hesitated slightly, while the people behind him began to wave the tickets in their hands and started to grab the machine.

This made the person at the front of the line very angry. He cursed a few words at the person behind him, then took out a stack of bills and handed them to Su Mo, fearing that the machine would be intercepted again.

The man had gone to several shopping malls in Cangwu City today, but all were out of stock. Only Su Mo's small audio-visual store still had stock.

After watching the man count the money, Su Mo didn't count it either. He just stuffed it into the cash drawer and packed the machine for the man.

Then Su Mo picked up the loudspeaker beside him and shouted, "Go, go, the Shenzhou repeater is sold out!" Upon hearing that the machine was sold out, the people queuing up suddenly complained.

"Why is it out of stock again!"

"Why didn't you tell us earlier that the stock was out of stock? You made us wait for so long!"

"Boss, when will the next shipment arrive?"

Su Mo winked at the two friends he had invited to help, and they began to slowly lead the people in the store out. These past few days, he was so busy that he simply couldn't handle it without hiring help.

After things calmed down, Su Mo picked up the list and calculated the money he had earned in the past five days. During these five days, he sold three batches of goods, with a total of 1,100 machines. He only took back 200 machines from the third batch because the agent in Cangwu City was out of stock!
Su Mo used a calculator to make a rough calculation and found that among the 1,100 machines, the most profitable ones were the last two batches because they were sold at a premium.

In addition to the normal 10% commission, all the money earned from the price increase went to Su Mo!
After calculating the money earned in five days, Su Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. One hundred and two thousand four hundred yuan!
In just five days, he made a lot of money, which was more than he could earn in ten years running this shabby music store, but it was also much more than what he earned in the few years when he formed a band!

Now Su Mo has realized the saying that a horse cannot grow fat without night grass, and a man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth.

However, the literary youth is also knowledgeable about the ways of the world. He certainly cannot put all the money into his own pocket. Of course, he can keep it all for himself, but he probably just wants to make some quick money. After all the favors are used up, there won't be a next time!
Su Mo planned to take out three parts of this money. The first part would be used to deal with the agent in Cangwu City, the second part would be used to deal with Lin Likun, and the third part would be used for Guan Zhenming.

The latter two may not be interested in the little money he got, but Su Mo needs to maintain the personal relationship.

By now, Su Mo no longer had any idea of ​​Guan Zhenming's background, nor did he know why people in the electronics industry in Guangdong Province called him Guan the God of Wealth. Even the slightest leakage from the other party's fingers could make him a fortune!

If Su Mo doesn't hold on to such a thigh, then all these years of his life would have been in vain!

……

"A little higher this way!"

"Confirm the list again. Nothing can go wrong with the guests!"

In Hanxi, the banquet hall of Pingyang Oriental Times Hotel is busy at the moment. The hotel is not yet open to the public, and the guest rooms and other facilities are not yet fully decorated, but the banquet hall has already been renovated.

Li Dongling, Yao Luoying, Li Dongshan, Li Dongyue, Gao Peng, Zhang Ao, Zhang Xiahai, general manager of Oriental Times Shopping Mall and others are all busy here. Tomorrow is the day when Li Dongshan and Miao Jiahui will get married.

This was the first important event held by the Pingyang Li family after their rise to power. Even though the Li family did not want to publicize it, people from all walks of life who wanted to attend this kind of banquet had already been ready to go.

The list of guests who have confirmed their attendance is already very long, not to mention the relatives of the Li and Miao families. After all, if you are poor in a downtown area, no one will care about you, but if you are rich in the mountains, you will have distant relatives. It is impossible for the relatives on both sides to miss this opportunity.

Including Pingyang Municipal Government represented by Yao Zhengru, Hanxi Provincial Government Office, Hanxi Provincial Capital Office, Hanxi State Investment, and people from Yanjing will come.

The two brothers Miao Weiguo and Miao Weijia are Miao Jiahui's two older brothers. They also represented the Miao family and helped in the banquet hall. The Miao family also returned to Pingyang. Although Pingyang and Shangzhong are neighboring cities, in order not to miss the wedding time, the Miao family returned to Pingyang and now live in a villa in the Oriental Jiayuan Villa District.

The two brothers still remember vividly what the people in the Shangzhong Municipal Government Office said to them before they left Shangzhong City.

The Shangzhong Municipal Government wanted to take this opportunity to meet with the Li family to see if they could introduce some projects from Dongling Hi-Tech to Shangzhong, so they attached great importance to this event. The head of the Shangzhong Municipal Government was even preparing to come to Pingyang in person to attend the wedding.

"Um, Mr. Li..."

The Miao Weiguo brothers walked up to Li Dongling and rubbed their hands. The two brothers were not the kind of people who could talk smoothly, so it was really too much to ask them to be lobbyists.

"Big Brother Miao, Second Brother Miao!"

Seeing the two, Li Dongling also acted quite warmly, "No need to be so polite, we are all family from now on, just call me by my name, you have..."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Linfeng, Yao Zhengru's chief secretary, came over and handed a list to Li Dongling.

"Mr. Li, we need to add a few more names to this list. These people will be present, but they won't stay at the banquet for long..."

With a glance, Miao Weiguo saw the name on the list and the position in front of the name, "Hanxi Provincial Government Committee...", which made his eyelids twitch violently.
