Before Duan Yongping could finish speaking, the audience was stunned.
This isn't a learning machine, it's more like a game console! No, it's definitely a game console, just disguised as a learning machine! Moreover, the Subor learning machine is even more awesome than the "Qiongqi game console," it can even play games from the Nintendo "FC" platform.
Seeing this, Duan Yongping smiled and said, "I said it's a learning machine, so it is a learning machine. The game function is just a side benefit. You don't have to buy game cartridges. However, whether your child can resist the urge is none of my business."
That day, the Subor game console became an overnight sensation.
Major evening newspapers reported on the grand product launch of Rihwa Electronics, sparking widespread discussion.
In a dilapidated courtyard house in Beiping.
“Honey, look at this newspaper! It says a factory launched a product called the Little Tyrant Learning Machine, which allows kids to learn typing and programming from a young age. When they grow up, they can become typists or programmers! Our neighbor, Aunt Liu’s son, Wu Jinfei, is a programmer, isn’t he? I heard he works at Wujiang Group and earns 2400 yuan a month! Our combined monthly salary is less than 400 yuan, not even a fraction of his… Honey, why don’t we grit our teeth and buy our son a Little Tyrant Learning Machine so he can learn programming from a young age? At the very least, he can become a typist when he grows up!” a woman said to her husband. “Typists are still in high demand; many companies are eager to hire them!”
Hearing this, the husband thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then let's buy our son a Subor learning machine! By the way, honey, how much does a Subor learning machine cost?"
"It costs 599 yuan per unit, but it also comes with a learning card, a basic programming manual, and Pokémon."
"It's a bit expensive. It would take the two of us two months' salary to buy a Little Tyrant game console. But for our son's future, we have to buy it no matter how expensive it is. By the way, I can understand the learning cards and the basic programming manual. They're probably related to learning programming. But what is this 'Pokémon'?"
The wife replied, "The newspaper said that the Little Tyrant learning machine can also play games. This is called a balance between work and rest. When the child is tired from learning programming, he can play games to relax."
"Oh, I see. It's good to balance work and rest. The manufacturer of the Subor learning machine has thought things through very well."
...
At this moment, the explosive popularity of the Subor learning machine has attracted the attention of the industry.
"This is unbelievable! They're using a deceptive tactic, selling game consoles as educational devices! I really admire the manufacturers of the Subor educational machines; this idea is brilliant!" The factory manager of another company that purchased chips and motherboards from Wujiang was speechless. He then slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Damn it! Our factory needs to do the same thing! Just add a keyboard and we can sell it as an educational device—it couldn't be simpler! But if we don't do this, how can we beat the competition?!"
The others in the industry understood the unspoken message and began to imitate it.
Imitation takes time, and in the following period, the Subor learning machine became popular in China.
Perhaps it is because Wujiang Group pays high salaries to software engineers that many parents in China hope their children will become software engineers when they grow up.
But if you want to learn programming, you first need a computer.
A computer costs tens of thousands of yuan, or even more.
How could an ordinary family afford to buy one?
At this time, the Subor learning machine suddenly appeared.
Many parents compare the Subor learning machine with a computer, feeling that the Subor learning machine is cheaper and can also teach programming, so buying a Subor learning machine is really cost-effective.
In a short period of time, the sales of Subor learning machines exceeded 50,000 units, setting off a wave of home game consoles in China and shocking the media and industry.
Not long after, several more learning machines were launched.
Although its individual sales volume is not as high as that of the Subor learning machine, it has the advantage of having more brands, and the total number is still quite considerable.
In just one week, total sales of all learning machines nationwide exceeded 100,000 units, and the growth trend is becoming increasingly apparent.
It seems that the Little Tyrant learning machine has a great reputation among children, with an extremely good word-of-mouth reputation.
Lu Xiaoming took his eight- or nine-year-old son to the mall for a shopping trip. Unexpectedly, when they passed an electronics store, his son refused to leave.
"Daddy, Daddy, this is good, I want this one!"
When Lu Xiaoming saw the price of the goods, he exclaimed, "Good heavens, 599 yuan! That's really expensive!"
"Son, these things are too expensive, let's not buy them."
"Dad, Dad, I want a Little Tyrant learning machine! I want to be a programmer and earn more than 10,000 yuan a month!"
Seeing this, the shop owner hurriedly introduced the Subor learning machine to Lu Xiaoming. After listening, Lu Xiaoming was immediately tempted. Seeing that his son insisted on having the Subor learning machine, he gritted his teeth and bought one.
Such incidents are happening on a large scale across the country.
Sales of educational devices are soaring.
However, the competition in the domestic learning machine market is becoming increasingly fierce, and many factories will eventually go bankrupt. Only Wujiang Group, which is behind the scenes, is making a fortune!
P.S.: I owe you one chapter for today, I don't have time to write it now, I'll make it up tomorrow.
