The appearance of photos of various experience stores of "Times Technology" in newspapers,
It soon aroused the curiosity of many people. On their way to and from get off work, when they went out to buy groceries, or when they went out for fun on Sundays, they all went to the address in the newspaper to see what was going on.

When they saw that there was a sign clearly hung saying that the store was currently out of stock and only accepting reservations, but there were still many people queuing at the door, everyone was stunned and expressed their incomprehension.

Many newspapers also sent editors to the Times Technology experience store to verify it on the spot. When they saw this scene, they were immediately amazed.

"Hey friend! Aren't these sold out? Why are you still queuing here?"

"You can buy it even if it's not in stock. You can make a reservation. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Of course! But don't you think this way of buying is ridiculous? In commodity transactions, isn't it always a matter of handing over money and handing over goods? How can you pay first and then wait for a long time before you can get the goods? And, you don't worry about not being able to get the goods after paying the money?"

"Haha! How is this possible? Era Technology is the best computer company in the world. Haven't you seen how excellent their Pangu computers are? They can't possibly default on their debts! If they default on their debts, their company's reputation will be ruined, and they won't be able to open a store here again. Do you think they will make such a stupid mistake?"

"But...but isn't this a waste of time? You can wait until the goods arrive and then buy them, right? You won't have to take any risks, it's the best of both worlds, how great is that!"

"No, no, no! My friend, please open your eyes and take a good look here. I think you can count how many people are in line here first. I don't want to chat with you anymore. It's my turn soon. I have to go in and pay!"

"..."

The reporter from the newspaper turned around and looked at the endless line of people. The corners of his mouth twitched and he slapped his forehead, saying it was too crazy!

He then randomly interviewed several people and asked them why they were queuing here. The answers they got were all the same: to buy Pangu computers!

"Oh God! It's crazy! They're all crazy!"

This was the headline of the newspaper that day. Once it was put on sale, it instantly attracted people’s attention and was quickly sold out.

Gradually, more and more newspapers began to report on the grand occasions at the entrances of the major Time Technology experience stores, through the long queues and the endless crowds...

Those who questioned Pangu Computer’s monthly sales volume are gradually shutting up!

Even if some people publicly question the monthly sales of 69, many people will immediately refute it, saying that if you don’t believe it, go to the door of the experience store and open your eyes.

My friend, stupidity is not scary, what is scary is prejudice and arrogance!
Public opinion began to reverse...

Amidst this heated public opinion, time quietly passed to February, and another month had gone by!

This month, "Oriental Electronics Factory" and "Times Technology" each added another production line, doubling their output.

The average daily output can reach 10,000 units!!
In one month, a total of 300,000 brand new Pangu computers rolled off the production line! !
Even so,
There are still many stores around the world that are out of stock, and the number is not small, 300,000 units, but it has not made up for the shortfall...

Although sales in the second month began to decline, they still reached 500,000 units!
In other words, the total sales volume in two months is 1.2 million units!!

The president of Times Technology came to ask whether the sales volume should be announced.
Wu Youde smiled and said it doesn’t matter, just say it if you want to.

As a result, the world is boiling again, and the industry is silent again...

Two months after launch, total sales reached 1.2 million units???
'Times Technology' is too fierce. The scary Orientals, it turns out they have been quietly accumulating strength!
The president of IBM said: "A miracle has happened, my friends! A brand new product has directly made his company a global technology giant... This is the charm of technology!"

The chairman of Intel said: "Guys, we all need to work harder and not be left behind by the Orientals. If that happens, it will be a shame for all of us!"

HP CEO also said: "Oriental people should not be underestimated. A new technology competition has begun. Please put away your arrogance and take this opponent seriously! He is very strong!
Here, I announce that Hewlett-Packard will start the personal computer business, with an estimated investment of 300 million euros. The Hewlett-Packard personal computer will be launched on the market by the end of 1973 at the latest. Please wait and see!"

The president of Philips also said in the newspaper that "the Philips personal computer project has been established and is currently stepping up product research and development. We will work closely with Intel...

Ten months later, Philips personal home computers were launched! ! "

While a number of established electronics manufacturers are speaking out, some new manufacturers are being established...

For example, Apple.

When Pangu computer was first launched on the market, Jobs bought one. After using it, he couldn't stop. Every detail and every function of the Hongmeng system amazed him.

When he operated the mouse and could move freely on the computer screen, he was shocked at that moment, quite shocked!

He kept whispering: Good! Good! Great!
After using it for an hour, Jobs stood up excitedly, walked around the room excitedly, and almost danced...

This is the computer he has always wanted!!
This is the computer he has always dreamed of!!

I didn’t expect that it was created by Oriental people. This is incredible and ironic!
He had no good feelings towards the East, and had a lot of discrimination and prejudice in his heart, but the reality now slapped him in the face.

Although there was no one else in the room, Jobs still felt a burning sensation on his face and was very embarrassed!

When he later saw that Pangu Computer had a monthly sales volume of 69 units, Jobs was stunned...

He felt this was ridiculous and too outrageous!
My impression of Times Technology suddenly dropped two levels. A company that likes to exaggerate and use public opinion to increase its market visibility is doomed to fail in the long run and will never be able to last long!

But when he later saw the real photos of those Times Technology Experience Stores, he was confused again...

When did it become so crowded?

Since he went to the Times Technology Experience Store to buy the Pangu computer on the day of the press conference, there were not many customers in the store at that time. He remembered very clearly that there was only a couple and himself. The huge store of several hundred square meters was almost entirely staffed by Times Technology salesmen.

He was deeply impressed by this scene and still remembers it vividly.

In addition, in the store covering hundreds of square meters, there are one hundred Pangu computers neatly arranged, each one is exactly the same, which looks quite spectacular.

At that time, he thought this way of displaying goods was very novel!

So, when he saw the photo in the newspaper, he felt it was unreal, but photos can't be faked...

This made him very confused!
So, Jobs went to the Times Technology Experience Store again. He wanted to see what was going on.

It didn't matter that he saw it, he was directly frightened.

The street where the Times Technology Experience Store is located is full of people. Some are here to watch the fun, and some are actually queuing. The long line stretches from inside the Times Technology Experience Store to the end of the street.

Judging by visual estimation, it is at least more than one hundred meters!

This is horrible!!!

I'm just buying something, not collecting relief money, so why is there such a long queue?

I don't understand it, but that's the fact.

Jobs, who didn't believe it, went to the train station immediately and bought a train ticket to Canada. He wanted to see what was happening in front of other experience stores.

Because the first batch of Times Technology Experience Stores were only opened in the capitals of major countries around the world, if he wanted to visit other experience stores, he could only go to neighboring countries.

A day later, Jobs rushed to the Time Technology Experience Store in Canada.

When he saw the long queue here, and even two queues, he was petrified on the spot. At the entrance of the Time Technology Experience Store in Canada, Jobs spent a whole day and witnessed people in the queue pay their money, hold their pre-order certificates, and walk out happily.

He no longer doubted that Pangu Computer’s monthly sales reached 69 units!
Orientals are so scary!

There is great potential in the personal computer market!!!
The day he returned to Los Angeles, he found his partners Wozniak and Wayne and proposed to create a new company to develop and produce personal computers.

Recently, the news about Pangu Computer and Time Technology has been widely publicized. Everyone knows about it, including Wozniak and Wayne. When they heard Jobs describe the hot scene in front of the Time Technology Experience Store he saw in Canada...

Both Wozniak and Wayne were stunned and exclaimed that it was unbelievable. Could the sales volume that month be true?

Jobs said affirmatively: "It is absolutely true! We should not be biased in the face of facts!"

After a minute of silence,
Wozniak and Wayne nodded heavily and said, "Let's do it!"

In this way, Apple was founded ahead of schedule, 4 years earlier than the original history!
……

Wu Youde is not actually that concerned about the global sales of Pangu computers. He knows very well that this computer will sell well no matter what.

Epoch-making product = dimensionality reduction attack!

What he is more concerned about is the sales of Pangu computers in China.

Due to practical circumstances and out of friendship for fellow countrymen, the price of Pangu computers in China is different from that in other places, or is lower.

Currently, the selling price of Pangu computers is unified!
The high-end version is 3999 pounds, and the low-end version is 2999 pounds!

But in fact, there are many additional benefits for purchasing Pangu computers in Kowloon and Mazu. For example, the Hongmeng system, which originally had a one-year usage right, can be extended for another year.

For example, we may give you a mouse pad, headphones, etc.

These things are not available anywhere else.

The situation in the mainland is different from all these. The prices there are much lower than in other regions.

The high-end version is 3999RMB and the low-end version is 2999RMB.

Compared with other areas, the price is nearly ten times higher!!!
When Wu Youde first proposed to implement this sales plan, it caused a lot of objections. However, when he said that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family, all the objections disappeared instantly.

No one dared to mention it again!
This move won applause from many people in the "Times Research Institute", many of whom came from the mainland. After ten years of hard research, they finally achieved results.

If the price is too high and our compatriots cannot afford it...

That is undoubtedly very regrettable!
Now this problem has been perfectly solved.

At the same time, they all once again deeply felt Wu Youde's courage!!

……

When Wu Youde saw many experience stores across the mainland,
When the total sales of Pangu computers were only more than 300 units in two months, he smacked his lips a few times and finally sighed helplessly...

Such is the times.

Nothing.

Perhaps, we should not open experience stores in the mainland for the time being?

He shook his head and threw the idea out of his mind. Since it was already on, he might as well keep it on.

There will always be a sunny day after the rain, right?
……

After seeing that the total sales in the mainland in two months was only 300 units,

Wu Youde thought about it for a moment, then walked into the study, picked up the red phone and dialed.

"Youde, I heard that Pangu computers are selling very well, congratulations..."

Even through the phone, one could feel Lou Zhenhua's fatigue.

Wu Youde smiled and said, "It's expected. Many engineers at the Times Research Institute have turned gray over the years. This is the result of everyone's hard work!

Dad, are you and mom okay? Xiao'e wanted to go back to see you some time ago, but I stopped her. "

Lou Zhenhua said in a deep voice: "We are all fine, don't worry, everything will be fine."

From this sentence,

Wu Youde heard a lot of news. They were all fine, which meant that except for them, everyone else was not well...

For a moment, the atmosphere of the call was somewhat solemn.

"Youde, you must have something to ask me when you called me. What is it?"

“The Oriental Research Institute has developed a new type of hybrid rice, sea rice, which is between wild rice and cultivated rice and can grow in coastal tidal flats.

It has the characteristics of salt-alkali tolerance, and has stronger survival and competitiveness than other common rice varieties. It is resistant to waterlogging, salt-alkali, lodging, diseases and insects. "

"What? Sea rice! Can it grow in the seashore tidal flats???"

Lou Zhenhua exclaimed, his voice even trembling a little, obviously he was very surprised.

Wu Youde replied: "Yes, it was actually cultivated two years ago. It has been improved in the past two years and the technology is more mature."

"Okay, okay! Okay, okay! Hahahahahahaha..."

Lou Zhenhua laughed out loud and said excitedly: "Youde, you brought me another good news. This news is so good! It's really great!"

"I thank you on behalf of everyone. With this sea rice, everyone's life will become better, food prices will be lower, and it will affect all walks of life..."

“This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people!!!”

"I'll arrange for someone to go over right away. Youde, you can rest assured and hand over everything to them when the time comes!"

Wu Youde agreed.

Lou Zhenhua added: "Don't worry, I'm fine and I can handle it. Tell Xiao'e not to worry!"

Then he hung up the phone in a hurry.
