rebirth of cataclysm

As a triangular relationship, everyone has their own thinking and calculations.

Anyway, when neither Apple nor Pengbo Electronics took any action, the three companies just continued to invest in products to seize the market they wanted.

One benefit brought about by the development of competition among the three companies is that the market's acceptance of smartphones is better than expected.

This involves a problem of market cultivation. It is not easy for any new product, even a new electronic technology product, to be accepted by the market. It requires a process.

When people don't know enough about a new product and don't have enough confidence, especially when the original product is already very mature and relatively cheap, even if they have expectations for the new product, most people are still waiting and watching.

.

Just like digital cameras replaced aperture cameras, VCDs replaced video recorders, and MP3 and MP4 replaced Walkmans, none of them were achieved overnight. Although new products won in the end, the process was not smooth sailing. Especially when there is only one company promoting it alone.

It is even more difficult and requires a huge investment of manpower, material and financial resources. Some companies eventually collapsed and became martyrs of the market just because of lack of financial resources and before the market was developed.

The reason why Hu Mingchen did not act so quickly was not only because he had some hidden considerations and was not willing to buy apples cheaply, but also because he also had a cautious consideration in terms of market cultivation.

Frankly speaking, although Pengbo Electronics has done a lot for this new product, including holding a live new product launch conference, Pengbo Electronics is a small and medium-sized company after all, and it was unknown before. If it were based on

If they have the current strength and influence to promote this product alone, it will be very difficult. There may be a lot of benefits, but the cost will be like the waste of seawater.

Now that the three companies are working together, the situation is different. The competition between the three companies and the popularity of the market are obviously different.

In Hu Mingchen's memory, it seems that Apple's first iPeng sold more than one million units. Now, Ipeng alone can sell more than one million units. This shows that the top three companies have invested resources to develop and

Cultivating the market has already seen results.

In fact, some companies that originally made other products have begun to pay attention to this industry and are a little ready to make a move. However, at this stage, the barriers to entry are still relatively high, especially the technical part.

During this year's winter vacation, Hu Mingchen stayed in Pengcheng most of the time, but he still rushed home before the Chinese New Year. Many other people in the company did not have the same treatment and freedom as Hu Mingchen, and they had to work overtime in the company.

Including Chen Xuesheng himself, he only has one and a half days off during the Chinese New Year.

Hu Mingchen went to work on Pengbo Electronics, while Hu Jianqiang took care of the tourism company and Xingsheng Supermarket under Xingsheng Development.

In contrast, Hu Jianqiang didn't have much time to go to Pengcheng. It wasn't that the business here kept him busy, but that he was getting married and had to handle some wedding matters at home.

When Hu Mingchen returned home before the Chinese New Year, he happened to meet Hu Jianqiang bringing Zhou Yuxian home.

Hu Mingchen had just walked in, and not even half an hour after sitting there, Hu Jianqiang came to the door with Zhou Yuxian.

"Uncle Third, congratulations, Sister Zhou..."

"You bastard, Sister Zhou, that's your third aunt." Hu Mingchen just called him and wanted to say hello to Zhou Yuxian, Hu Jianjun knocked on Hu Mingchen's head to remind him.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, I'm sorry, haha, third aunt, it's third aunt, third aunt, congratulations to you too." Hu Mingchen touched his head, quickly changed his words with an awkward smile and explained, "Oh, I just came from outside

When I got back from work, my brain was still a bit unable to react for a while."

Hu Mingchen was indeed a little unresponsive. Although Zhou Yuxian was also an employee of Xingsheng Development, he hadn't dealt with her for a while, so he felt a little unfamiliar and was not so used to the new relationship.

"I still can't react. I'm usually very smart. Your grandma is not here, otherwise she would accuse you again." Jiang Yucai said.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, second sister-in-law." Zhou Yuxian waved her hand hurriedly with her cheeks flushed.

Zhou Yuxian didn't dare to show off in front of Hu Mingchen. Even though he had been promoted from an employee to an elder, he had dealt with Hu Mingchen before. He was decisive and methodical in doing things, and he spoke the truth in the company. And after becoming friends with Hu Jianqiang, she also

From Hu Jianqiang’s mouth, I learned many secrets that others in the company did not know.

"Don't spoil him. No matter what he does outside, you must have rules at home. Otherwise, what will he look like if he is neither big nor small?" Having said that, there is nothing wrong with Jiang Yucai's smiling look.

I want to really criticize Hu Mingchen.

On the one hand, Jiang Yucai wanted to show off, on the other hand, she also wanted to win over Zhou Yuxian.

Jiang Yucai's relationship with Liu Chunhua was not good before, and now that Zhou Yuxian is about to become a sister-in-law, it is always good to have someone close to her. Besides, Hu Jianqiang's relationship with Hu Jianjun's family has always been much better.

"Second sister-in-law, Xiaochen just made a slip of the tongue. I know what kind of person he is. Xiaochen, when you come back this time, you won't go out during the holidays, right?" Hu Jianqiang took over the words.

"Haha, logically speaking, I still have to go, but it depends on what you arrange for me. If you have something to do here, then no matter how big the matter is, you can only put it aside first." Hu Mingchen

He said with a smile.

"Of course it's your business. You won't be here when I get engaged. You can't escape when I put incense and get married." Hu Jianqiang said.

Hu Jianqiang's engagement was completed in half a month. The man's family invited someone to go to the woman's house to finalize the marriage. They also exchanged their birth dates and then decided on a wedding date based on their birth dates.

The so-called incense placement is a procedure before marriage, which is a bit like the ancient ceremony. In ancient times, there were six etiquettes for marriage, such as accepting gifts, asking for names, accepting gifts, accepting invitations, asking for a date and welcoming the bride. In Liangcheng,

By the way, the six ancient rites have been reduced to three rites, namely engagement, incense placement and wedding ceremony.

The betrothal process includes nacai, asking for names and naji, and the content of placing incense is the acceptance and request period. The subsequent wedding ceremony has not changed.

"Third uncle, you think I want to escape, but I don't want to either. I didn't go to the engagement, but I will take the responsibility for the incense placement and wedding reception. As long as there are things that the younger generation can do, I will take the responsibility. Don't worry, that's right.

When do you plan to place the incense?" Hu Mingchen asked.

"I asked Hu Dehua's grandfather to read the book and go to place incense on the eighth day of the first lunar month." Hu Jianqiang said.

Around here, Hu Dehua's grandfather is the only one who knows something similar to yin and yang gossip. Many people will come to him to check their plans when building houses, getting married, or even at funerals and burials. He can even calculate their horoscopes.

Generally speaking, even people who are not superstitious will pay special attention to the date of such an important matter as marriage and will not take it casually. And although the customs across the country are different, they all have their own particularities.

"The eighth day of the first lunar month? Haha, it won't be long then. Okay, it's still a holiday. You go to place incense. I'm a junior, can I go?" Hu Mingchen was actually interested in such lively things.

"What's not allowed? There are so many details. I just say it's okay." Hu Jianqiang said.

"Third brother, you'd better ask your parents about this matter first, I'm afraid it won't be that simple." Hu Jianjun reminded.

"What's not simple? I have the final say in my affairs." Hu Jianqiang shrugged and said stubbornly and casually.

"I think you'd better ask. As far as I know, it seems that those who can go to place incense are either elders or juniors. It seems that I haven't seen any juniors go to place incense for their elders. There is no problem with the wedding, nephew

All nieces have them, and if you don't ask clearly, it would be bad if the two old men have anything to say." Jiang Yucai also advised.

"What are you talking about? What does the old man say?" At this moment, Zhong Ying came in from the door, and Hu Erhua followed behind, with his hands behind his back.

"Mom, you and my dad are here, sit here..." Seeing Zhong Ying, Jiang Yucai hurriedly said, and then gave instructions to Hu Mingchen: "Hurry up and pour two cups of tea for your grandparents, hurry up.

."

Obviously, part of what he said was heard by Zhong Ying, so Jiang Yucai quickly did this and sent Hu Mingchen away.

As a result, before Hu Mingchen got up, Hu Yujiao was very discerning and took Hu Mingchen's place to get tea and pour boiling water.

"What were you talking about just now? Why did I seem to hear about going to put incense? What did you say?" Zhong Ying sat down on the sofa on the side and asked, pulling on his clothes.

"Mom, I want to ask Xiaochen to go with me to arrange incense. My second brother and my second sister-in-law said it was inappropriate and asked you first." Hu Jianqiang had to take responsibility at this time, and he quickly expressed his attitude,

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it. He's my nephew, and I'm just going with him. I'm not asking him to preside over the ceremony. It shouldn't be a big deal if there's one more person."

"Place incense? Xiaochen will go too? Son, arranging incense is a big event. It is the matchmaker and the elders who speak. The ordinary people just go to get things and sit with them. He is a junior, and there is no need to mess around...

....What if Xiaoxian and his family say that we don't understand etiquette?" Zhong Ying glanced at Hu Mingchen, but his expression was not as sharp as expected.

If it were in the past, Zhong Ying would immediately get angry and curse as soon as such a thing came up. However, now she holds back. Although she also has objections, her attitude is obviously much gentler.

When Zhong Ying mentioned her family, Zhou Yuxian could no longer remain silent.

"Aunt, my family doesn't actually have many rules. I don't know what to say. Mr. Hu... Oh, I don't think there's anything wrong with Xiaochen coming together." Zhou Yuxian said.
