About ten days before May Day, the content of Huaguang VCD's TV commercials changed.
The content is quite sensational, saying that in order to give back to consumers and express the support from people from all walks of life, Huaguang VCD will hold a May Day sale and a tearful sale during the May Day holiday.
The price reduction is unprecedented, exceeding ten percent.
Since it’s called a big reward, of course you have to give gifts.
Therefore, on May Day, large stores in first- and second-tier cities across the country almost simultaneously launched large-scale VCD discount activities.
The price of VCDs fell below 5,000 yuan for the first time, and finally reached 4,900 yuan.
Any customer who purchases a VCD during the May Day holiday can receive six genuine karaoke discs published by Bohai Audio and Video Publishing House, valued at RMB 300.
At the same time, during the May Day holiday, VCD players will also be given a microphone worth 80 yuan as a random gift.
Under these measures, on May 1st, the news coming back from first- and second-tier cities across the country was somewhat encouraging: a total of more than 3,300 VCDs were sold.
It is estimated that five to six thousand DVD players can be sold during the May Day holiday.
After May Day, this price will remain for a while, and it is estimated that it will be maintained until around National Day in October. The price will be reduced again during National Day. When the price of VCD drops to around 4,000 yuan, it will be maintained for quite a long time.
Anyway, domestic manufacturers were unable to crack the VCD technology during that period, and it was probably not until 1994 that they cracked it.
At that time, he would reduce the price of the DVD player to less than three thousand.
It's already May, and Wan Feng has started planning his big event.
The first thing is to explain it to your parents.
"Getting married in August?" Zhu Min asked a little incredulously.
"Um!"
"Then which one will you marry?"
"I'll marry them both. I promised Zhang Xuan that I would marry them both. We'll hold a wedding in Russia first. It's a foreign country and foreigners don't know me, and there aren't many Chinese people there, so I can hold a wedding with them both at the same time. After I come back, I'll hold a wedding at home. Of course, it'll be with Luan Feng, so Zhang Xuan can't show up."
Zhu Min thought about it and it seemed like a good idea.
"So what should we prepare at home?"
"What do I need to prepare? I have everything in my room, no need to prepare anything."
"What are you talking about? Everything needs to be new when you get married. Move all the things in your room to other rooms and tidy up."
It seems to make sense.
Let’s call Wang He to arrange this.
"After we get married, Feng'er will live here, and where will Zhang Xuan live?"
"How about you adopt Zhang Xuan as your goddaughter and let her live with us?"
"It might have been okay a few years ago, but it's not okay now."
"She'll have to live somewhere else now and wait a few years before moving in with us."
"Will it be possible in a few years?"
"Of course, just because it's not possible now doesn't mean it won't be possible in the future."
Why will it work in the future?
Hongya Henghe Decoration Co., Ltd. is now the largest decoration company in Jiangwei and is also quite famous in Hongya.
In fact, in just three or four years, Wang He became a decoration boss with hundreds of employees.
"Build a moon door in this wall to connect the two rooms."
Wan Feng pointed to a wall in his room and said.
On the other side of the wall is the westernmost room on the third floor. It used to be a place for storing messy things. Now Wan Feng wants to connect the two rooms to put in a big bed.
The kind that can sleep three people.
Wang He drew a mark at the location of Wan Feng's finger.
"Put wallpaper on the walls and re-hang the ceiling..." Wan Feng explained the areas that needed to be renovated one by one.
After Wang He finished marking it, he asked, "When will you change it?"
"I'll be leaving around the end of June or early July and will probably be back in September. Can you finish these tasks?"
"It's done, it's nothing! I'll do it for you myself."
Wang He has basically not done anything himself in the past two years. When cleaning up Wan Feng's new house, he decided to show off his skills.
After explaining the renovation of the house, Wan Feng began to arrange the specific itinerary.
Zhang Xuan handed the paging station to Zhang Juan and prepared to return to Heilongjiang. Her reason was that she had not been home to see her parents for many years and she wanted to stay at home for a few months.
In order to avoid attracting attention, she had to return to Wu County a month or two in advance and then make preparations for getting married at home.
Zhang Juan is now fully capable of handling and putting down the paging station affairs, and Zhang Xuan can go home with peace of mind.
The task of sending Zhang Xuan home was completed by Yang Jianguo and Han Meng, with Li Mingze in between.
After sending Zhang Xuan home, Yang Jianguo and Han Meng will temporarily stay in Wu County to protect Zhang Xuan to prevent any accidents.
On May 15th, Zhang Xuan set off for home.
Three days later, Wan Feng received a call from Zhang Xuan who had arrived home safely. Two days later, he received a call from Li Mingze who had arrived in Heihe.
Li Mingze said on the phone that the Heihe Port would resume trade on May 31st. He had already made preparations to cross the river and would go to Shaminov as soon as the port opened.
At this time, Wan Feng also started to spread the word that he and Luan Feng wanted to have a travel wedding, going out for a trip first and then coming back to hold a simple ceremony.
To go out and travel and get married, of course they need to have a marriage certificate. One day at the end of May, Wan Feng and Luan Feng went to the Civil Affairs Bureau of Wulu Township to apply for a marriage certificate.
The moment they get the marriage certificate, they become legal husband and wife and can live together openly.
Although VCDs had a May Day promotion, sales momentum remained slow, with daily shipments of around 100 units.
The main reason is that the price is too high and ordinary people simply cannot afford it.
The current sales targets are mostly commercial places.
At the end of May, the first street karaoke stall appeared on Wankou Street.
Xu Bin spent 8,000 yuan to buy a DVD player, amplifier and speakers, and set up a stall in front of his entertainment city.
From 6pm to 10pm, any longer would disturb the public.
Three yuan for singing a song.
Three yuan for a song was not cheap at the time. Xu Bin didn't know whether this business could make money, and he was very nervous.
He didn't ask Wan Feng about this deal, he just came up with it on his own. He wanted to try out whether his idea was feasible.
On the opening night, countless people gathered in front of his door, blocking the main road.
There are countless young people in Jiangwei, and singing is a hobby for most of them. Moreover, these young people are all people with income, so there are a lot of people signing up to sing.
After one night, I earned nearly 200 yuan.
Where there is a start, there are always others who follow. In just four or five days, from Wankou to Dongshan to Wahou, karaoke stalls grew all over the roadside like dog urine moss after rain.
It actually formed a nationwide karaoke craze.
This trend surged from Jiangwei to Hongya and surrounding counties and cities, bringing a small climax to VCD sales.
