Rebirth: Fight For Life

  Chapter 28 Looking for Yongning Gold Typists

  Saturday at 9 o'clock, the roamer experience store opens on time.

  Qi Tianfeng saw the advertisement in the evening newspaper last night, and wanted to see how this store with a different feeling was like. His work unit is advocating learning computers, and considering that if he can learn computers later, he may have a better chance of progress, so he is planning to buy a computer to go home.

   Looking in through the polished glass door, a brand-new computer is placed on the waist-high log booth. There are LCD screens and color shells, and it can be seen that they are the latest styles.

  All the computers on display are turned on, some are playing movies, some are running games, some are running office software, it seems that just like the name of this store, customers can experience various models first.

   This is good.

  The uniformed staff are smiling and welcoming the guests.

   He felt as if he had entered a jewelry store, but he was a little cautious. The staff did not immediately come up to shout like other stores, as if he was allowed to visit and try it out.

   He tried the computer on the desk for a while, and turned to ask someone. A clerk came over immediately and asked, "Sir, do you like this computer?"

   "What is the configuration of this machine? How much?"

  The clerk was busy introducing him. This is the first customer of the day. In order to get a good start, Sister Jiahui has promised Wang Zhai a discount of 500 yuan, but she still wants to sell at a higher price as much as possible.

   Fortunately, Qi Tianfeng had to buy a computer, and he had a good impression of the rover. He happily bought it at the original price. Xu Jiahui specially gave him three sets of software, thanked him for being the first customer of the rover, and promised him that he would get a free membership card when he came back, and he could get a 5% discount on future purchases.

   Qi Tianfeng paid the payment with satisfaction and waited for the computer to be installed over there. He continued to look at it, feeling strange again. In such a neat and tidy store, there are now more staff than customers. Could it be that Yongning has a better store than this one?

  In addition to computers, all kinds of accessories are also complete here, and there is a special lounge area with sofas.

   He felt strange, but Gu Song was a little anxious. Qian Zhi, who came to help, also leaned over and asked, "Gu Song, why isn't anyone here yet?"

  The roamer just opened, the number of guests entering the door is not as many as imagined. Xu Jiahui kept smiling, as if she didn't care. Maybe it's too early and everyone hasn't gone out yet?

  Gu Song regretted it a little, because there were too many things to do and the opening was rushed. He was busy preparing the USB flash drive two days ago, so he didn't have time to prepare a better marketing plan for the opening.

   was thinking about it, He Qingwei appeared at the door and made a color.

   Waiting for Gu Song to come to him, He Qingwei whispered: "It's really cruel, E-era Electronics and Yongning Electric City have a 22% discount at the same time, and they are handing out flyers on the street. There are a lot of people in their store."

   It was time to come, but I was careless in the end, thinking that with the excellent decoration design and cost-effective products of the roamer experience store, it was enough to attract a wave of eyeballs during the opening period.

   But in a city like Yongning, price is the eternal killer.

  Xu Jiahui also came out to ask what was wrong. As soon as Gu Song explained the situation, she nodded and turned back to the store.

  Gu Song was still discussing countermeasures with He Qingwei when he saw the bicycle team dispatched yesterday riding in the alley of the warehouse next to him. The flags carried by everyone have the same words: "Looking for the Yongning gold medal typist, the 10,000 yuan prize is waiting for you!"

   The two looked at each other in amazement, and Xu Jiahui came over and said, "The last time I had a drink with the bosses of E-era Electronics and Yongning Electric City, I was thinking of doing an event when it opened."

   "Why didn't I hear you before?"

"Isn't the money tight now?" Xu Jiahui said helplessly, "I thought that if the situation is okay, I will save a fortune and wait for a while to hold this competition before the New Year. I don't think they will have a small impact on small activities, but I didn't expect that. It is better to kill us without making money, then we can only fight with each other and now we will fight."

  He Qingwei slammed Gu Song on the chest: "You are an incompetent boss!"

  Gu Song grinned and said to Xu Jiahui, "Fortunately, you are prepared, how are you going to play?"

   "It's not new either. It's a typing contest. Today's preliminary round, tomorrow's final, the first prize is a computer, and the back is a host, a monitor, a speaker, a keyboard, and a mouse." Xu Jiahui seemed to be a little bit hurt, and these prizes added up to more than 20,000.

   "Is this strength enough?" Gu Song made a comparison in his heart, and felt that the lethality was still 22% off.

Xu Jiahui shook her head: "I don't think there's any problem with this. They are all branded machines that are agents, and they will be very hurt at a 22% discount. The more they sell, the more uncomfortable they will be. The main thing for us now is to attract people, as long as customers see In our store, there is a comparison. There is no need to be afraid of the comparison. Our grade and cost performance are here. The price of the assembled model of the rover is more attractive than their 22% discount, not to mention our such a large store, There is also a dedicated after-sales technical service area, so customers will be at ease.”

   In short, the cycling team has taken to the streets again, just wait for the effect.

  …

The attractiveness of the   10,000 yuan prize was still powerful enough in 2001. As the cycling team crossed the streets again, although it would not immediately cause a sensation in the city, a wave of undercurrents had already been mobilized in a small area.

  The male dormitory of Yongning College.

A short boy hurried into the building, climbed 4 floors in one breath, and suddenly pushed open the bedroom door: "Pharaoh, hurry up, the newly opened computer store is going to hold an event today, a million-dollar prize! Find Yongning! Gold typist. You **** is absolutely capable!"

   Several boys in the bedroom immediately boiled. The old king in their dormitory is the master of blind hits, the king of hand speed in the class.

   "There is still such a competition? What the hell, old man, you deserve to win the prize, hurry up and hurry up!"

   Several people quickly put on their clothes and rushed out with a handsome boy wearing glasses.

  …

In the office building of the    newspaper, Fang Ruoxi, who was working overtime typing the press release, was interrupted.

   "Ruoxi, why are you typing a press release, go to the competition!"

   Fang Ruoxi asked blankly, "What game?"

   The little girl who interrupted her excitedly said: "Remember the back cover advertisement in the newspaper last night? That store is holding a competition today to find a Yongning gold medal typist, and the grand prize is 10,000 yuan! You are the fastest typewriter in our newspaper, hurry up and hurry up!"

   Fang Ruoxi was heartbroken. She is also a little transparent in the newspaper office. She has not turned into a regular when she first joined the unit, but she is often given extra work because of her fast typing. Usually always work overtime, and the salary is not a few hundred yuan a month.

   "But I haven't finished recording this manuscript that the editor-in-chief confessed..."

   "Oh, it's too late to do this tomorrow, hurry up, hurry up!"

  …

  Blue Bird Computer School.

   Gu Shenglan was practicing the homework assigned by the teacher when she heard the teacher call her.

   "What's the matter, teacher?" I walked outside the classroom and saw the principal and the teacher were there.

"Gu Shenglan, I have taught so many students in this computer school, and your typing speed is the fastest. Today, a newly opened computer shop is holding a competition to find a Yongning gold typist. The prize is 10,000 yuan. You represent our school to participate. Let's have a game."

   Principal Liu Qingbin of Jade Bird Computer School felt that this competition was tailor-made for computer training schools, and it was a great opportunity for publicity.

   Before Gu Shenglan could react, he went downstairs to drive.

  …

  The flow of people in the roamer experience store is increasing rapidly.

  Xu Jiahui set up a table in the open space at the entrance and arranged for one person to register.

   The on-site promotional materials prepared in advance are also very simple. A banner is pulled at the door: "Roamer Golden Keyboard Contest, looking for Yongning gold typists."

   The rules of the competition are written on a simple text poster.

   The rules of the preliminary round are very simple, just type on a piece of paper provided by the rover. A promotional document prepared by Xu Jiahui to introduce the rover has a total of more than 500 words. If you can type it correctly within 5 minutes, you will pass the test.

   Those who sign up will enter the store in order and use the same computer to compete. At first, everyone could enter the store to watch, but as more and more people came, Gu Song made a decisive decision and suspended the business for the competition. All the customers who did not play would watch outside the store. Qian Zhi and a boy invited by Cen Gong were at the door to help maintain order.

   It was a very simple game, but as the flow of people gradually increased, the masters gradually appeared, and the crowd watching the typing performance on the display table in the store through the transparent glass outside the door continued to exclaim.

   In this era when most people who know computers can only play two or three crosses in one minute, it is a spectacle to watch masters play blindly.

  Everyone who can pass the level is greeted with a round of applause, and those who can rush in for 3 minutes even cause an uproar.

  Gu Song never thought that a simple typing competition would have such an effect.

   For a whole day, Gu Song didn't know how many master typists in Yongning came either by hearing the news or being pulled over by relatives and friends. But if you win by typing, you can get a grand prize of 10,000 yuan, and the roamer experience store was watched all day.

   The preliminary round ends at 5:30 pm. In order to consider the time for the finals tomorrow, the threshold for entering the finals has to be raised to 4 minutes. 36 people will participate in the finals tomorrow morning.

  The Wanderer Experience Store attracted the attention of the whole city in an unexpected way.
