Reborn since 1993

Chapter 717 The streets are deserted
Cao Taizheng looked around and saw that those who had set up tents and queued up overnight like him were basically in the same industry, that is, scalpers.

Apart from scalpers, there is indeed no user of Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary who would work so hard. After all, a hobby is no match for making money. Only when there is profit can scalpers like Cao Taizheng work so hard.

In the past, although the mobile phone scalpers and shoe dealers desperately raised the prices, it is undeniable that those scalpers were really desperate. They could queue in front of the store for dozens of hours in a row and stock up on goods at great risks just to get the machine as soon as possible!

Seeing so many scalpers, Cao Taizheng expressed his concern. Naturally, he was worried. When there are more scalpers, the competition will naturally be fierce.

But on the other hand, the fact that so many scalpers from all over the country have come here also shows that everyone is optimistic about the Shenzhou second-generation electronic dictionary.

This kind of scene in front of the entrance of Yangcheng Department Store is not uncommon. There are also long queues in front of other department stores in Yangcheng, such as Tianhe City and Wangfujing Department Store.

Some of these scalpers queuing up, like Cao Taizheng, are already worth some money, while others are just small-time backpacker scalpers.

They are not just local scalpers in Guangzhou, but people come here from all over the world. Guangdong Province has always been the market with the largest sales volume of Dongling Hi-Tech products, and the product launch volume is naturally the largest as well. The chances of getting goods here are much greater than in other places.

The same scene not only happens in Guangzhou, but also in big cities like Pengcheng, Yanjing, and Shanghai, where scalpers can be found. Because these places have markets, there is naturally demand, and thus there is a place for scalpers to live!

In Guangzhou, Yanjing, Shanghai and other places, almost every street and alley, including elevators, are posted with advertisements from Focus Media.

Also looking forward to it are the investors in the A-share market. Every time Dongling Hi-Tech launches a new product, it becomes a carnival for Dongling Hi-Tech concept stocks.

Especially for concept stocks that have already been listed, their share prices can soar by a large margin. This is also the favorite of major securities institutions and small and medium-sized investors. Although there will definitely be people who will take over and become leeks in the end, this concept is the easiest to hype!

"Welcome to listen to the Feiyan Music Voice FM98.8MHZ channel, jointly produced by Yangcheng Radio Station and China Feiyan Radio!

We will accompany all Yangcheng car owners to spend a wonderful day. "

Yin Zhuangjie drove towards his company. His business was good last year, so he changed to an Accord and played the radio channel he listened to most often on the car radio.

Not only Yin Zhuangjie, many local car owners in Yangcheng are accustomed to playing this channel in the car while driving, because Feiyan Music plays various music songs basically all day long.

In addition, Feiyan Music Channel will remind car owners from time to time which roads in Guangzhou have experienced traffic accidents, congestion, etc. This is something that other radio stations that only know how to advertise cannot provide at all, because providing these services costs money!

Many TV stations in the country are struggling to make ends meet now, not to mention radio stations, which are experiencing a tough time, with each year getting worse.

Feiyan Music Radio Channel has been launched for several years. It was one of the radio programs launched in conjunction with various parts of the country when Feiyan Technology launched its mini radio.

In addition to the sound of music, there are also late-night romance programs, storytelling, opera, etc. Some of these programs are still running, while others have long been discontinued. These programs were launched mainly to sell Feiyan mini radios, and the effect was once very significant.

For example, Feiyan Music Channel is now operating very well in Guangzhou, Shanghai and other places. It has a lot of music copyrights provided by its parent company Feiyan Technology, and can play music uninterruptedly around the clock, so naturally it has more listeners.

With listeners, we can naturally recruit advertisements, generate revenue, and keep the cycle going. In addition, from time to time, we advertise for the parent company Feiyan Technology and Dongling Hi-Tech's products, which is also one of Dongling Hi-Tech's advertising platforms.

Yin Zhuangjie was naturally not aware of these things, or rather, the car owner did not pay attention to these things at all, but he did listen to Feiyan Music Radio.

After a song, the soft and magnetic voice of the radio host came through the car radio.

"The following is the Feiyan Music Voice program. We have received the latest news from the Yangcheng Transportation Department and other car owners. Car owners passing through Yangcheng Department Store, Tianhe City and other areas need to slow down or take a detour.

At present, these areas may face congestion. Today is the day when Shenzhou's new generation of electronic dictionaries are released, and these areas may have related promotional activities! "

"Shenzhou's new generation electronic dictionary is currently the best teaching aid for foreign languages ​​such as English, Japanese, and Korean in China.

Shenzhou electronic dictionaries are sold to fifteen countries around the world and are one of the essential devices for families to learn foreign languages. They can reduce the burden on parents and improve learning efficiency! "

After notifying the car owner, the radio host "naturally" changed the topic to the Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary and took the opportunity to advertise it.

Yin Zhuangjie, who was about to pass the street where Yangcheng Department Store was located, heard that the traffic was congested again and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

When Yin Zhuangjie heard the name of Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary, he felt it sounded familiar, and then he suddenly remembered that last year, his son wanted an electronic dictionary to learn foreign languages. Yin Zhuangjie went to several electronic retail stores but couldn't find one. In the end, he bought one from a scalper for 1,000 yuan. By the way, the scalper was called Cao Taizheng.

As for Yin Zhuangjie's son, it is hard to say whether he has learned foreign languages ​​after getting the Shenzhou electronic dictionary. It cannot be said that there is no effect at all, but I haven't found any obvious improvement either. However, his son is quite good at playing the games in the dictionary.

Now when he suddenly heard the name of Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary again, Yin Zhuangjie couldn't help but recall the incident when he was ripped off by scalpers last year.

As for whether to buy the second-generation Shenzhou electronic dictionary, Yin Zhuangjie felt that it would be of no use to the brat at home.

But if he doesn't buy it, Yin Zhuangjie feels uneasy. His son will go to junior high school this year. Especially this year, there was a rumor that foreign languages ​​will be heavily weighted in the college entrance examination. If his college entrance examination results are affected because of a few hundred yuan, Yin Zhuangjie will feel uneasy.

While he was daydreaming, Yin Zhuangjie's car slowly drove to the vicinity of Yangcheng Department Store, and then the car stopped moving.

But Yin Zhuangjie's eyes were no longer on the car. Instead, he was staring in amazement at the long line of people lined up in front of the mall, like a long dragon.

There was no more room in front of the shopping mall, and the line had started to extend onto the road, causing the road to become a bit congested.

Just as Yin Zhuangjie thought, is the Shenzhou electronic dictionary useful? Not necessarily, but what if it is useful?
The price of the Shenzhou electronic dictionary is 699 yuan. Compared with the future destiny of a family, the future college entrance examination score of a student, and the future direction of his life, which is more important?

Buying it may not be useful, but not buying it will probably make countless families feel confused. Many of those who line up are probably praying to Buddha, just to seek peace of mind.

Among the people queuing, in addition to scalpers and parents, there are also professionals in the foreign language industry, young men and women, etc. Many of them give the Shenzhou electronic dictionaries as gifts.

Especially this time, Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary also launched a pink version and advertised that it has built-in games suitable for girls, which attracted the attention of many female users.

……

The first thing Ed Fries saw when he came out of Yangcheng Airport was the huge poster of Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary.

The person who came to China on behalf of Microsoft this time is Bill Gates' confidant Ed Fries. He will transfer in Guangzhou and then go to the provincial capital of Hanxi, and will need to stay in Guangzhou for one night.

"Those people are buying Dongling Hi-Tech's new products?!"

If, at the beginning, the posters at the airport did not make Ed Fries realize the seriousness of the problem.

The passing buses and taxis, the outdoor advertisements in shopping malls, the billboards on the roadside, and especially the huge queues of people when passing by a shopping mall on the way to the hotel, shocked Ed Fries.

Of course, Microsoft has also had scenes where the streets are deserted. When Microsoft released a new system before, the CDs for installing the system were also fought over by countless users.

However, Ed Fries was still shocked by the scene before his eyes. When he was in America, he saw the investigation on Dongling Hi-Tech conducted by some institutions commissioned by Microsoft. He knew that Dongling Hi-Tech had a great influence in China, but he did not expect this kind of scene.

"Yes, Mr. Ed, today all the major shopping malls in Guangzhou are basically selling Shenzhou electronic dictionaries!" The Microsoft domestic staff who was responsible for picking him up at the airport said to Ed Fleiss.

After arriving at an American-invested brand hotel where he was staying, Ed Fries finished his meal, washed up in the hotel, and then came to the lobby of the suite.

The people who came with Ed Fries, including the Microsoft staff who received him today, were also present.

Taking a bottle of red wine, Ed Fleiss poured a glass and tasted it, then said to everyone, "Guys, I'm here on behalf of the Microsoft board of directors and President Bill Gates!"

When Ed Fleiss mentioned Bill Gates' name, everyone present turned serious.

"Tomorrow, you will come with me to Hanxi. This is Microsoft's first real battle in the hardware industry, and I don't want any accidents to happen!"

After talking with the Microsoft team for a while, when Ed Fries was about to take a break, he saw the queue scene on TV again.

Originally, Ed Fries thought that this was the scene he saw during the day, but then he saw the crowd on the TV screen and the words on the background board behind them, which were obviously different from what he saw during the day.

"Which region's news is being broadcast here?"
