Meanwhile, after hanging up the phone, Lu Feifei immediately dialed the Computerworld newspaper to verify the authenticity of the Chinese character card.
The results of the verification are self-evident.
Lu Feifei was thrilled and immediately shared the news with her colleagues and superiors.
Everyone was very surprised.
Those who read Computerworld today were all stunned and amazed, completely blown away by the creative advertisements from Imagination Technologies.
Without a doubt, every typist longs for a Chinese character card.
Even if you don't plan to buy one for the typist, shouldn't you at least consider buying one for your boss?
A Chinese character card costing 5,000 yuan is a bit expensive, and the computer is even more expensive. Later, we'll also need to get a more advanced printer that can be connected.
Which company would be willing to provide typists with these "three-piece suits"?
It's practically impossible.
Typists can now only use Chinese mechanical typewriters.
These typewriters were made in China, such as the Shanghai Shuangge brand Chinese mechanical typewriter. This product can be considered the last glory of movable type printing. Operators in the workplace who had used this type of printer were considered high-tech talents. For example, Lu Feifei used this Shuangge brand Chinese mechanical typewriter.
This typewriter has a type tray filled with lead type. To type a word, you first need to find the word on this "huge" type tray, and then press the lever with your right hand to print the type on the paper.
This type of mechanical typewriter is cumbersome, prone to errors, and inefficient.
Therefore, Lu Feifei and the others were extremely eager to own the "three-piece set".
Unfortunately, her dream was shattered.
But she made contributions to Zhao Ye.
The Kyoto court quickly dispatched someone to call Imagination Technology Company and ordered 24 Chinese character cards to first meet the leaders' needs for "cards"...
Zhao Ye and Fu Xiaoyue were recording the order amount and delivery address, and both of them unconsciously showed a look of surprise on their faces.
However, not long after Fu Xiaoyue hung up the phone, it rang again.
Out of curiosity, someone dialed the phone number of Imagination Technology Company.
The phone kept ringing after that.
Some people, like Lu Feifei, dialed the mysterious number in the newspaper out of curiosity, while others learned about Imagination Technology and the Chinese character card through Computerworld.
In short, Imagination Technologies and the Chinese character card are about to become a hit.
Fu Xiaoyue worked until 8 p.m. before leaving get off work.
Although most people inquired, quite a few were interested in purchasing, and several even placed orders directly, including one from the court, which ordered a total of 31 Chinese character cards.
Zhao Ye felt that his goal of reaching one million was not far away.
It might take about a week to achieve that.
come on!
Zhao Ye!!
...
A week later, the Imagination Chinese Card had become popular in a small circle, but it was far from being popular all over the country.
Leaving aside how many people own computers these days, there are even more people who read the newspaper but don't make phone calls. Despite their surprise and confusion, these people still don't know that the sentence was an advertisement for Imagination Technology Company.
As of now, Imagination Technology Company still only has two employees: Fu Xiaoyue and Zhao Ye.
But this does not hinder the company's operations.
Zhao Ye was waiting for the right opportunity. When the Imagination Chinese Character Card became famous in the computer industry, he would place a recruitment advertisement in the newspaper, sincerely inviting talents from all over the world to join Imagination Technology Company.
Nowadays, when it comes to hiring, college graduates are all unruly and look down on private companies. They would rather work for state-owned enterprises and earn a meager salary of a few dozen yuan a month, and they don't even dare to eat tea eggs casually.
Only by making a name for oneself will one gain followers.
Zhao Ye, living in this era, is very aware of this.
He also tried hiring people, but the results were not ideal.
"So far, we have received phone orders for a total of 215 Chinese character cards, which is less than I expected."
At noon, I opened the window, and a gentle breeze made me feel warm and cozy.
After these days of contact, Zhao Ye discovered a business opportunity.
“A group of customers who called to inquire hadn’t bought the Chinese character card, not because they didn’t want to, but because they couldn’t afford it. Most of these people were engaged in typing-related work, such as Lu Feifei from the court, who is a typist.”
"The Chinese character card I developed will not need any technological updates for at least five years; it's already a very mature product. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the competition in the Chinese character card market was fierce, and profits declined sharply. Then, Microsoft released a new Windows system with built-in Chinese character input, and the Chinese character card became obsolete. Therefore, there's no need to upgrade the Chinese character card in the future; it will be obsolete by then!"
"Right now, I can develop a Chinese typewriter to solve the pain points of typists like Lu Feifei!"
"It seems that in its previous life, Sitong Group became the number one IT company in Zhongguancun by relying on Chinese word processing machines!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Ye couldn't help but smile.
Although Chinese word processors are much more complex than Chinese character cards, they are not too difficult for Zhao Ye.
He is fully capable of independently developing a technologically advanced Chinese language processing machine.
Meanwhile, Dr. An Wang, far away in the United States, became the richest Chinese person thanks to the Wang An word processor. However, the Wang An word processor could not print Chinese characters and was relatively expensive, so it did not see widespread use in China.
