Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

Chapter 686 Pager Launch

Time flies, and it is January 78. During this period, Ning Xiaowei has already passed the examination and confirmed that she is pregnant again.

The result was exactly as she expected. Even her family members were so happy to hear the news, let alone outsiders.

But Ning Xiaowei has already adapted to it. Just laugh! For the sake of my daughter, what does it matter if I suffer a little injustice?

At the same time, the Sun family has more happy events. First of all, there is Sun Shujie. He took the college entrance examination last month and has received the admission letter.

Coincidentally, this time he was also admitted to Tsinghua University, majoring in electronic science and technology.

In addition, Sun Zhengdong's daughter, Sun Shuxuan, lived up to everyone's expectations and was admitted to the Normal University.

Sun Dahe was so happy at that time. His family finally had a top student. He even held a banquet in the yard to celebrate.

You can imagine how happy he was.

On that day, in the new factory building of the institute's branch, a group of technicians were installing and debugging a new production line. Problems occurred frequently, which led to a round of abuse from everyone.

"Damn it, this little Japanese is nothing. This part is obviously a shoddy one. I think he just wants to cheat us out of our money. Does he have any conscience at all?"

"You are talking nonsense. Do animals have conscience? Leave the part there first. The director will find a solution later."

……

While several technicians were still cursing, Sun Zhengguo and several factory leaders walked into the workshop.

They turned a deaf ear to the abuse and just checked the installation progress from time to time.

Zhou Weimin then asked, "Director, what should we do with these unqualified parts?"

"Don't worry, I'll move it to the lab and redesign it, then have the skilled craftsmen produce it. I guarantee the quality will be better than the original one. If you want to make money from us, just dream on it!"

Sun Zhengguo picked up a substandard product, took a closer look at it, and threw it to the ground without paying any attention to it.

In fact, the import of Xiao Ri Zi's color TV production line was also expected.

After all, the technology is there and it’s very cheap, so you can’t help but buy it.

It's just that this little life is so disgusting. They always like to tamper with key parts, making it break before you even use it, in order to make more money.

But can Sun Zhengguo spoil it? We can do it ourselves and have enough food and clothing.

After looking around here, the few people went to the pager production workshop, where mass production has now begun.

Sun Zhengguo took a few casual glances and began to check the production.

"Wei Min, what is the current production of pagers? How much is in stock?"

"Director, the workers are still a little unskilled now. The output is about 400 to 500 units a day. It should gradually increase in the future. The inventory is about 10,000 units."

"That's it!"

Sun Zhengguo stopped and thought for a moment, and finally decided to invest 10,000 units to test the market.

"Wei Min, prepare 10,000 units of stock first. I'll arrange for someone to deliver them in two days. Also, production needs to be accelerated, so that we don't run out of stock when the time comes."

"No problem." Zhou Weimin seemed very calm.

You know, this is his normal production mode. If the product is really selling well, he can even work overtime to increase the production.

If things get worse, there's still the southern branch to back him up! He's not afraid of a hammer.

Next, the few people went to the game console workshop. The game consoles are now in trial production, and the main screen is temporarily provided by the Jinling Antenna Power Plant.

"Wei Min, how is the production here? How is the quality?"

"Director, the game consoles are just being produced now, and we can produce about 300 units a day."

Hearing this number, Sun Zhengguo couldn't help but shook his head.

"This won't do. Time is running out. We have to hurry up and set up another workshop right away so that the workers can get started as soon as possible."

"Okay, Director."

After visiting several new workshops, Sun Zhengguo returned to the research institute and prepared to tinker with the parts first.

……

A week later, the first batch of pagers arrived in Hong Kong Island.

That evening, the wireless TV station began broadcasting the advertisement, while outdoor advertisements and various leaflets were also distributed.

Since pagers were a new thing, the streets were full of citizens talking about them.

"What? This pager is so convenient. It's said that you can rescue someone with just one phone call. Is that true?"

"It should be real. This is a product of the Huo family. How could it be fake?"

"Do you know how much one costs? If it's not expensive, I'm going to buy one."

"Who knows? You'll know when it goes on sale in three days."

……

In this way, the promotion lasted for three days, and after gaining enough hype, six stores in Hong Kong Island opened for business at the same time.

Tsim Sha Tsui store.

Some customers have been queuing since before dawn and now they finally have their turn.

However, when the first customer ran into the store to inquire, he was completely chilled.

"What are you talking about? It's 1698 Hong Kong dollars per channel, why don't you go and grab it? F**k! You're eating shit."

"I'm sorry, sir. Pagers are high-tech products. The price is very reasonable. Please don't be unreasonable. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the wrath of the Huo family."

The saleswoman was neither humble nor arrogant, and she won people over with her virtue.

The foul-mouthed customer was so frightened that he turned around and ran away, causing other customers to laugh at him.

Although the first customer was scared away, there are many wealthy people in Hong Kong Island!

Many customers came forward to ask questions, such as how far the pager could reach and how much it cost compared to the monthly rental fee. After finding out the details, some customers couldn't wait to place their orders.

"Miss, I want to buy a pager, and also charge me for one year's service fee."

"Okay, sir. The pager is 1698, plus a year's service fee of 1800, a total of 3498 Hong Kong dollars. Would you like to pay in cash or by card?"

"Swipe your card."

The customer was very generous. He waved his hand and handed over a bank card, which caused exclamations at the scene.

The salesperson took the bank card respectfully and started to handle various procedures.

Soon, the first pager was connected to the Internet. However, the customer was still not convinced, so he tested it himself using the store's phone.

“Beep beep beep beep…”

"It's ringing, it's ringing, everyone listen, it's ringing."

"Huh? It really made a noise."

"It's exactly like the one in the ad. Give me one too. Pay for a year."

With the success of the first person, people came forward to buy and the salespeople started to get busy.

The same situation as that in the Tsim Sha Tsui store also occurs from time to time in the other five stores.

In less than one morning, all 300 pagers in stock in several stores were sold out.

And I don’t know if it was influenced by the first customer, but all customers who bought pagers paid for one year’s service fee.

As a result, the sales amount in just the morning reached nearly 630 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Manager, we're out of stock and the customers are getting angry. What should I do?"

A salesperson quickly ran to report to the store manager, but the store manager had no stock on hand. What could she do?

In the end, the store manager had no choice but to step in person to calm the customers first, and then he urgently contacted the head office to urge them to ship the goods.
