My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 572 Three-Pronged Approach: No Moves, Moves, and Moves

The whole factory knew that the boss had been in an explosion. The damaged van looked like it had been through a war, and it was surrounded by a huge crowd of people watching.

After Wei Dong was helped out of the car, everyone burst into applause and shouted, "Take care of yourself and be safe!"

Wei Dong took the megaphone handed to him and said a few words: "If it happened again, I would handle it the same way. Clear rewards and punishments are the only way to let everyone see the direction. Even if people who work hard make mistakes or have problems, we are all family and can discuss and solve them. If you insist on standing on the opposite side, you are ruining your future and destiny. Thank you for your concern..."

Then, after I got home and lay down, a lot of various heart, lung, tripe, and noodle soups were served downstairs. I let Wei Dong try them, but I decided to give them to Wu Shengyun.

Shen Cuiyue also arranged for two female waitresses to go over: "I have already called Shitou and Mao'er back. I'm not afraid of thieves coming to the door, but I'm afraid of thieves eyeing the place. It's not good to leave someone by your side."

Wei Dong said with self-deprecation, "I thought it would be safer to move everyone back to the factory, but I never expected to be tricked like this. It's a good thing we excluded him and didn't send him abroad. Who knows what he's capable of with such a vicious mind?"

Dong Xueqing sat beside her with tears in her eyes, saying, "I haven't been going there these past few days; I've been taking care of you at home."

Wei Dong took a deep breath and felt better: "It's much better now, no need to make such a fuss..."

But he is indeed different now. Starting in the evening, he received one call after another to express his condolences and well wishes. People from Shangzhou, Shanghai, and Beijing called to give him instructions.

Then, elevator factories, Hongyan Machinery Factory, shipping companies, municipal real estate companies, newspapers, television stations, Jiangnan District, and Bei District all came to visit and offer their condolences.

Rang Weidong, who actually wanted to play basketball, had no choice but to entertain guests in the "ward" that Shen Cuiyue had specially prepared.

This also gives people a glimpse into what it's like for Jiangzhou's leading private entrepreneur to live in a simple and quiet rooftop courtyard.

This allowed Wei Dong to conveniently use the opportunity to decline his original request to appear in person as a series of commercial housing projects were launched in Beijing and Shanghai.

Just rest. The person from the Economic Commission called and earnestly reminded you to be careful: "We originally hoped you would come to Beijing to discuss some work, but given the situation, you should rest first and find another opportunity later. You should also be mentally prepared."

This kind of half-finished talk gives Wei Dong a headache; what does it mean to be mentally prepared?

Of course, the meaning is still that it's about being given a responsibility, not about having to bear any impact.

That's a little better.

They wouldn't let themselves take up any official position, would they?

This was meant to let Wei Dong know that he was actually a rather rare representative of private entrepreneurs at this moment, although this identity could be stripped away at any time.

But at least it won't lead to an official position.

Take a break and relax.

Actually, he secretly played ball upstairs by himself the next day.

Mao brought all three dogs back, saying he was teaching the Sichuan hunting dog to sniff out explosives, and that this would definitely prevent such incidents from happening again.

Shi Tou wanted to get a gun, reminding Wei Dong that some guys seemed to have been arrested for illegal possession of firearms. He thought it best not to fall into that trap, since the risk level had indeed been quite high in recent years. He suggested that Wei Dong let his younger brother practice with his Type 77 rifle, but not provide him with a separate gun. He could only practice shooting when they returned to the Xishan Factory.

Old Yao really wanted to bring a guard platoon from Xishan Factory to Wei Dong, which made Wei Dong both laugh and cry, since the guard company of the construction regiment had stronger firepower.

It shouldn't have come to this.

In the end, it was the same volleyball captain who was transferred to Shen Cuiyue, which made Shen Laosan secretly very proud.

In fact, Dong Xueqing and Qin Yuye's driver had already been on duty carrying a gun for a long time, and now they are on double duty.

While Boss Qin was away, the drivers and guards held a meeting to study and discuss, and to comprehensively summarize the lessons learned from Comrade Wei Dong's experience.

Finally, on June 26th, Boss Qin called Rang Weidong back in the middle of the night: "Sold! Finally sold!"

Wei Dong, still half-asleep, sat up against the headboard and glanced at the clock: "What did you sell?"

But all I heard on the phone was a lot of noise.

These days there's no live television broadcast or internet transmission; communication is only possible via telephone. Qin Yuye said proudly, "I'm here! I bought a Dyna, oh, you know, a mobile phone. It's so cheap here, only a little over three thousand US dollars..."

Oh, that reminds Wei Dong that when he went to Hong Kong two years ago, they were already selling them for 35,000 Hong Kong dollars each.

It's cheaper in Citibank's country of origin, but this thing needs a network connection to work; it's not like you can just bring it back and call it a day: "How's the situation on-site?"

Qin Yuye was quite wealthy, daring to make an international call on his mobile phone: "Steve used your electronic slides for the presentation, fantastic! Turns out, the most crucial selling point of this computer launch was your 'airplane driver'!" Wei Dong? What the heck?
The phoenixes huddled around him were all languidly clinging to him in their sleep, their bare arms being embraced by Wei Dong's chest, which made him feel hot and bothered.

Quickly focus on the phone call.

Qin Yuye explained, "These past few days they've been focusing their technical staff on modifying and adjusting the software, so I haven't been able to participate. The lawyers are handling the other software company registration; I'm only responsible for signing documents. So, only when I came to the site today did I realize they named your software package 'Kung Fu,' which is 'one move, two moves, three moves.' The whole interface is very simple and beautiful..."

Wei Dong was only interested in this: "Okay, remember to bring it back."

Steve's software skills are among the strongest in the world right now. He's not trying to copy anyone, but rather to show Huang and his team how top experts solve the same problems.

The call quality on the mobile phone was pretty good; I could hear cheers coming from the other end.

Qin Yuye was definitely watching the stage closely: "They made this PPT very beautiful. Just like last time, when Steve was on stage, the projected image was huge. He introduced each item and said that this was the electronic slideshow function that came with the Macintosh 86, including documents, tables, and pictures. They used raster charts, pie charts, and bar charts to explain the current demand for these three types of software. Immediately, several states called to place orders, and there were also calls from Europe!"

Wei Dong smiled slightly: "Yes, you can act it out. There's a script."

Qin Yuye: "No, I know Steve didn't arrange this, but we opened an order hotline. Dealers in each state can order first and ship first. The Shanghai plant produced 50,000 units for North America and 50,000 units for Japan. The main production is still in the California factory. Now the Shanghai plant will have to operate at full capacity!"

That's right. According to the previous plan, the selling point of this new model should be the 14-inch "flat right-angle" color display. Although it only displays 256 colors, this is a rare high-end setting on a $2999 high-end model. Most models have not yet evolved to this level.

Then there's the titanium alloy ocean view room computer case, titanium alloy keyboard and mouse, which already follow the new design released in the Demimore advertisement.

Finally, add the file storage function of the pluggable memory card.

There's already enough hype to suggest it's a new model.

Now, new office software packages have been added...

Qin Yuye conveyed the message that as Steve demonstrated on stage, he showed how to process text documents, print greeting cards and invitations, create family financial management templates in spreadsheet software, and finally, how to make PPTs for financial plans, business projects, and architectural designs in the same way he presented projects on stage. The audience was in an uproar!
"They say this software is worth forty million US dollars! If it sells well, it will definitely be worth hundreds of millions after it goes public!" Qin Yuye was very excited.

The thunderous cheers and applause from the audience made it all the more convincing.

This made Wei Dong a little breathless, but he was like, "Hey, hey, Fengchu, where did you go with your opportunistic dream?"

Anyway, they dispersed a lot of the billions of wealth described over there.

But the data is indeed encouraging. Even during the press conference, orders for more than 600,000 units have already piled up in various states, and it is clear that a large number of orders are still to come.

It's worth noting that since the DemiMoore ad was released in March, thanks to its 14-inch color display and attractive design, computer sales in the entire North American market have stagnated considerably.

Many consumers are waiting to buy this new computer with its outstanding appearance.

Unexpectedly, it came with such an exciting software package.

In particular, the family financial management template in that spreadsheet software was a similar mini-program that Wei Dong reminded Lao Huang and his team to make in the very early days. It was meant to make domestic computers more accessible to the general public, so that domestic consumers would spend hundreds or even thousands of yuan to buy a computer and, besides their children learning to use computers and playing games, adults would have to find some proper use for it.

He didn't know whether Citibank employees liked accounting or not, but when making spreadsheet software, they just embedded this function into various statistical functions.

As Qin Yuye explained, the people who love making this the most are actually the Japanese. There happen to be Japanese software engineers at Apple, so they readjusted it into the planner mode that they are familiar with. It can be used for accounting, scheduling, life insights, reading notes, income and expenditure, and travel notes all in one.

This approach directly eliminated the spreadsheet software company that Apple had previously partnered with.

Looking at the "exquisite" journals displayed on the PPT, the number of follow-up orders keeps rising!

Nine hundred thousand!

one million……

It is said that when the total number reached on stage, the whole audience cheered.

Keep in mind that each computer software company takes a ten-dollar cut from the bundled software revenue, which adds up to ten million dollars!
Although it's not for Weidong to keep all the money, the benefits of sharing the profits with others will last longer.

If additional customers purchase the software package from computer stores across North America, the software company takes 70% of the $99 price tag!

Even to Wei Dong's own surprise, the software package he submitted was merely a rudimentary framework, but Apple's computer engineers transformed it into a magnificent masterpiece.

Now that it's selling like hotcakes, isn't the most valuable thing precisely the source of its inspiration?
