At the press conference, Zhao Ye then introduced the retail price of Imagine Chinese Character Card 2.0, which is 4,500 yuan. As for the wholesale price, he didn't mention it, because that's something that ordinary consumers shouldn't know.
After introducing the Imagine Chinese Character Card 2.0, Zhao Ye had the computer carried away.
"Next, I will introduce the second new product released by Wujiang Group."
After saying that, Zhao Ye gestured to the staff to bring up the Imagine typewriter.
The guests in the audience immediately looked at the items in the staff member's hands with curiosity.
"Everyone, have you ever used a traditional mechanical typewriter with lead type?" Zhao Ye asked at this moment.
Someone in the audience raised their hand and said, "I've used it!"
"I've used it too!"
The most common typewriter in China is this type of mechanical typewriter with lead type. Many journalists have actually used it, and even if they haven't used it, they may have seen it.
Seeing that many people had raised their hands, Zhao Ye smiled and said loudly, "Today I'm going to tell you that the era of lead type and mechanical typewriters is coming to an end!"
Zhao Ye paused, then announced passionately, "Because Wujiang Group invented the Chinese-English electronic typewriter, ending the history of mechanical typing and ushering in a new era of office automation in China! Long ago, foreign countries had typewriters that everyone could use, which improved their work efficiency. We Chinese lost an entire era of mechanical typewriters, and now we cannot lose the computer era!"
If, from this moment on, everyone used an Imagine typewriter, the resulting increase in work efficiency and the time saved would be astronomical, enough to exponentially accelerate the construction of our motherland and develop our country into a prosperous and powerful modern nation!
Upon hearing this, all the guests looked shocked.
"A Chinese-English electronic typewriter?! Wow, is that for real?!"
"Electronic typewriters are indeed much more efficient than mechanical typewriters made of lead type, by several times!"
Everyone stared intently at the white machine on the stage, their eyes burning with desire, as if they were looking at a stunning beauty.
This must be a bilingual (Chinese and English) electronic typewriter; it's so small and exquisite. Compared to other typewriters, the Imagine bilingual typewriter is indeed quite small.
Zhao Ye casually opened the flip cover, revealing the keyboard and monitor.
This scene immediately caused the entire audience to scream.
"Such an ingenious design, it feels incredibly high-tech!"
"Exquisitely designed, beautifully designed, with a glossy white body that is not rough at all, it is almost perfect. This is the most beautiful typewriter I have ever seen, like a work of art!"
"If Wujiang Company has indeed developed a Chinese-English electronic typewriter, it may indeed be as Zhao Ye said, ushering in a new era of office automation in China, which is of great significance!"
"First came the Chinese character card, then the Chinese-English electronic typewriter. Zhao Ye's Wujiang Company is leading Chinese technology step by step to the world!"
"..."
Many dealers seemed unable to contain their excitement and shouted, "How much is this typewriter?"
Some said they wanted a typewriter right now, no matter the price!
The scene was incredibly chaotic!
Zhao Ye watched this scene with a mix of amusement and exasperation, and quickly said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet. Those who want to buy the typewriter and Chinese character card can come to my company for a detailed discussion after the press conference. Next, I will demonstrate the Imagine typewriter for you!"
The built-in software for the Imagine typewriter is WPS Office.
So when the Imagine typewriter was turned on, everyone was slightly surprised to see the WPS interface.
The process remains the same: create a new document, enter the main text, and then add a printing step at the end.
Zhao Ye demonstrated printing on A4 paper, A3 paper, wax paper, and so on...
Each time a print job was successfully completed, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
After the demonstration, Zhao Ye smiled and said to everyone, "The press conference is about to end. Right now, many of you probably want to know the price of the Imagine typewriter."
Everyone nodded in agreement, eagerly awaiting the outcome.
Zhao Ye stated directly: "The unified domestic retail price is: RMB [amount missing]!!! As for the price for distributors, it depends on the quantity purchased and sales performance..."
Many dealers in the audience were excited when they heard the price.
In their view, a computer costs more than 20,000 yuan, and if you want to print Chinese documents, you also need to buy a Chinese character card and a printer. The total cost would be more than 30,000 yuan!
However, buying an Imagine typewriter, which can print documents in both Chinese and English, for only a few dollars, is much more cost-effective.
In the 1980s, not many people had much money.
Although the Chinese and English typewriters had limited functionality, they were very popular because they were inexpensive.
The Sitong Chinese typewriter from the previous generation quickly became popular throughout the country after its launch.
Nobody cares how much it costs to produce a typewriter, they just buy it!
Sitong typewriters were in high demand and short supply.
During this period, even though there was constant power struggle and chaos within Sitong Company, it did not prevent Sitong Company from making a fortune.
There was no way around it; Sitong typewriters were just too popular.
Back then, Sitong Company could have simply given up.
Zhao Ye glanced at the excited crowd, quickly announced the end of the press conference, and stepped down from the stage.
The distributors at the scene rushed towards Wujiang Company like athletes, crowding at the main entrance, afraid of missing out on the goods.
The scene was quite poignant.
