Rebirth of the Wild Age

With the advancement of marketing staff, the vast market for cash register computers is quickly and intuitively presented.

According to statistics, there are more than 12,000 large supermarkets with a business area of ​​more than 5,000 square meters in China at this time. This is also the key customer of China's cash register computer at this stage. With the help of the country's rectification of product codes and the upgrading of large supermarkets, it is almost a matter of agreement. Because there is no second computer dedicated to cashiers in China, there is no Chinese version of cashier software on the market. Even Carrefour and Wal-Mart are planning to purchase Shenzhou computers-can they not be shipped from abroad?

Since China has not fully liberalized restrictions on foreign supermarkets, the development and expansion of foreign supermarkets has been slow. Carrefour has only more than 20 branches in China for several years. Therefore, from 1995 to 2005, which belonged to the golden 10 years of the development of local supermarkets, there are now signs of blooming everywhere.

The most obvious is the comprehensive supermarket with a business area of ​​2000-5000 square meters. The target is "the first stop for shopping in residential areas". There are already tens of thousands of such supermarkets. They do not have their own logistics distribution centers, nor do they have an intelligent ordering system. When large supermarkets popularize cashier computers, these medium-sized supermarkets will inevitably follow up quickly.

There is also a small supermarket like a community convenience store. Ten years later, there will be the largest number of such supermarkets, but they have not yet been sufficiently developed. Most of them still belong to convenience stores, and the products are separated by counters, and you have to rely on the clerk to take out everything you want to buy.

In 2005, China completely lifted restrictions on foreign supermarkets, and Wal-Mart and Carrefour rushed forward in an instant. The competition in local supermarkets has also become more intense. Lianhua has overwhelmed Hualian. Yonghui Supermarket has risen in line with the trend, and tens of millions of convenience stores have also been transformed into small supermarkets.

During 2005-2012, that was the best-selling era for cash register computers! After 2012, the domestic supermarket industry is about to usher in a wave of bankruptcy, as store rents continue to rise, resulting in a rapid decrease in the number of supermarkets.

China Science and Technology does not advertise, but talks one by one. First go to the large supermarkets and then to the medium-sized supermarkets. In just a few months, the sales of China's cash register computers were close to 100,000 units, and the pre-tax gross profit reached more than 200 million yuan!

Computer manufacturers, including Lenovo, did not understand what was going on at all. By the time they reacted, China Computer had completely occupied the large and medium-sized supermarkets.

Moreover, the sales of high-end computers in China have also been driven, because more and more supermarkets are implementing smart ordering systems. The cash register computer belongs to the front desk machine, and the ordering system requires a high-performance backstage machine. The supermarket simply buys one or two high-end Shenzhou models when placing an order.

After getting enough orders, China Technology directly found Tsinghua Unigroup for cooperation. Tsinghua Unigroup hadn't started making computers at this time, and seeing that there were so many orders, I was immediately impressed and agreed to develop a printer that is compatible with China's cash register computers. This printer can not only issue small receipts directly, but also print the supermarket store code after the vegetables and fruits are weighed, which is convenient for checkout at the cashier.

Everything is unknowingly, Tsinghua Unisplendour is afraid of being robbed of business by companies such as Founder and Stone, and is very cooperating with China Technology to fight the ambush. The two companies deliberately put their logos under the inside of computers and printers. Even if the CEOs of Lenovo and Founder go to the supermarket to buy things in person, they will not find that these computers and printers are domestic products.

The exclusive business has been doing so, and it will be too late when Lenovo, Founder, Stone, and Great Wall find out.

Because the cash register software was based on customer feedback, Song Weiyang asked Jinshan to continuously improve and update. Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun vowed to only make general-purpose software. Song Weiyang is now completely taking it off the track. After all, it is a matter of catering. Now professional software is flying, and even a department has been established for this purpose. Seeing the hot business in the supermarket, Jinshan immediately started to crack the foreign ECR system software, and Zhaomaohuahu produced a Chinese version.

Tsinghua Unigroup spent money to develop scanning guns, which belonged to their old business. In the 1990s, many domestic security inspection equipment were produced by Unisplendour, and they also produced scanners.

This forms an iron triangle, or one-stop service.

The front desk of the supermarket uses the Shenzhou cash register computer, the purple printer and the scanner, the Jinshan cash register software, and the supermarket backstage uses the Shenzhou high-end computer and the Jinshan ECR software.

Where can Lenovo, Founder, Stone and Great Wall plug in? If they only sell computers and supermarket customers don't do it, they have to get software and printers, and the basic market is occupied by China. No matter how hard they invest, they can only grab a bite of leftovers.

Inexplicably, China Science and Technology has formed a strategic partnership with Tsinghua Unisplendour, and China has even granted patents at low prices to allow Tsinghua Unisplendour to produce U disks. Since then, every time China sued a domestic U disk manufacturer for patent infringement, it would bring Ziguang to a lawsuit, and found that the lawsuit was much easier than before.

The supermarket business of Shenzhou, Ziguang and Jinshan are all invisible. The peers don’t pay attention to it, the media don’t pay attention to it, and the people don’t pay attention to it~www.readwn.com~ just like it never existed, but it quietly occupied this area. Most of the country.

By the way, by the way.

Song Weiyang's hometown, Rongping City, also opened its first supermarket this year, with a business area of ​​more than 5,000 square meters.

On the opening day, there was a big bargain, eggs cost 1 cent per catty, and the door was squeezed by customers. The entire supermarket is directly paralyzed. There are more people watching the excitement than the goods on the shelves. The ultra-low discount goods such as eggs and tissues are directly robbed. The cashiers who can only operate manually are too tired to cry.

And a lot of things from the supermarket have been stolen. After all, at this time, many products do not even have a barcode or are invalid, and there is a lack of soft and hard labels that can be signaled by the alarm. On the day of the opening, there were too many people to look at the monitors. The ghost knew who hid things in his clothes, and the alarm at the door became a display. According to statistics after the incident, the value of the stolen items was several thousand, and the out-of-town owner of the supermarket was so angry that it was all unsophisticated people.

The popularity of the first supermarket in the city immediately made local businessmen jealous, and three medium-sized supermarkets were opened within six months.

China’s supermarket industry is doing this, especially in remote areas. The people in these small places are ignorant. They treat the supermarket as a very tall gadget. After entering, they find that the things here are actually cheaper, so the word of mouth is even more. Attractive. As long as there is a business opening, there will be followers immediately, and these are all potential customers of China's cash register computer.

Song Shumin also opened a supermarket for his eldest brother, which was located near the railway station in the old city, where the passenger flow was particularly large.

Song Weiyang's eldest uncle's family are all honest people, and it is difficult to arrange to join the company. Now that he has a supermarket, he will be a small boss in the future. When Song Weiyang heard the news, he immediately sent two cash register computers to him, turning them into the first supermarket in Rongping City with cash register computers.
