Chapter 28: Finding the Yongning Gold Medal Typist
At 9 o'clock on Saturday, the Rover Experience Store opened on time.
Qi Tianfeng saw the advertisement in the evening newspaper last night and wanted to see how this store felt different. His unit is advocating learning computers, thinking that if he knows computers in the future, he may have a better chance of progressing, and is planning to buy a computer to go home.
Looking through the polished glass doors, a waist-high log booth sits a brand-new computer. There are LCD screens and color shells, and it can be seen that they are the latest models.
All the computers that are put on are turned on, some are showing movies, some are playing games, and some are turning on office software, and it seems that just like the name of this store, customers can try out the various models first.
That's good.
The uniformly dressed staff are in good spirits and smiling, and are about to welcome guests through the door.
He felt as if he had entered a jewelry store, but he was a little careful. The staff didn't immediately come up and shout like other stores, as if they were letting him visit and try it out.
He tried the computer on his desk for a moment, and turned his head to ask someone. A clerk immediately came over and asked, "Sir, do you like this computer?"
"What is the configuration of this machine?
The clerk hurriedly introduced him. This is the first guest today, in order to get off to a good start, Sister Jiahui promised a discount of 500 yuan for Wang Fang, but she still wanted to be able to sell at a higher price as much as possible.
Fortunately, Qi Tianfeng was going to buy a computer, and he had a good impression of the wanderer. Xu Jiahui specially gave him three sets of software, thanking him for becoming the first customer of the roamer, and promised him that he could get a membership card for free when he returned, and he could buy things at 95% off.
Qi Tianfeng paid the money with satisfaction and waited for the computer to be installed, and continued to look at it, feeling strange again. In such a neat and loose store, there are now more staff than customers, could it be said that Yongning has a better store than this store?
In addition to computers, there are also a variety of accessories, and there is a special lounge area with sofas.
He felt strange in his heart, but Gu Song was a little anxious in his heart. Qian Zhi came over to help, and also came over and asked, "Gu Song, why hasn't anyone come?"
The flΓ’neur who has just opened the door does not have as many customers as expected. Xu Jiahui kept smiling, as if she didn't care. Maybe it's too early and everyone hasn't gone out yet?
Gu Song regretted it a little, because there were too many things and the opening was in a hurry, and he was busy preparing the USB flash drive two days ago, so he didn't bother to prepare a more perfect opening marketing plan.
was thinking about it in his heart, He Qingwei appeared at the door and made a color.
Waiting for Gu Song to come to him, He Qingwei whispered: "It's really ruthless, E Times Electronics and Yongning Electric City are holding a price reduction promotion at the same time, and they are handing out flyers on the street." There are a lot of people around their shop. β
It was time to come on time, but in the end, I thought that with the excellent decoration design and cost-effective products of the rover experience store, it was enough to attract a wave of eyeballs during the opening period.
But in the end, in a city like Yongning, price is the eternal killer.
Xu Jiahui also came out to ask what was wrong, Gu Song told the situation, she nodded, and turned back to the store.
Gu Song was still discussing countermeasures with He Qingwei, when he saw the bicycle team sent out yesterday riding out of the alley of the warehouse next to him. The banner on everyone's back is a unified word: "Looking for Yongning Gold Medal Typist, the grand prize of 10,000 yuan is waiting for you!"
The two looked at each other in amazement, and Xu Jiahui came over again and said: "Last time I drank with the bosses of E Times Electronics and Yongning Electric City, I thought about holding an event when it opened. β
"Why didn't you hear from you before?"
"Isn't it that funds are tight now?" Xu Jiahui said helplessly, "I thought that if the situation is okay, I will save a sum of money and wait for a while to hold this competition before the Chinese New Year." I don't think it will have much impact on them to engage in small activities, but I didn't expect that they would rather not make money than kill us, so they can only fight each other now. β
He Qingwei hammered Gu Song's chest: "You boss is incompetent!"
Gu Song grinned and said to Xu Jiahui, "Fortunately, you are prepared, how are you going to play?"
"It's not new, it's a typing competition, today's preliminary competition, tomorrow's finals, the first prize is a computer, the back prize is a host, the award monitor, the speaker keyboard and mouse. Xu Jiahui seems to be a little painful, and these prizes add up to more than 20,000.
"Is this strength enough?" Gu Song compared it in his heart, and felt that it was still very lethal.
Xu Jiahui shook her head: "I don't think it's a problem with this." They are all brand machines of agents, and they will be very hurt if they are discounted, and the more they sell, the more uncomfortable they are. The main thing now is to attract people, as long as customers see our store, there is a contrast. With contrast, we are not afraid, our grade and cost performance are here. The price of the rover's assembled models is more attractive than their 80% off, not to mention that we have such a large store and a special after-sales technical service area, customers will rest assured. β
Anyway, the cycling team is back on the streets, so let's wait and see.
β¦β¦
The appeal of the 10,000 yuan prize was impactful enough in 2001. As the bicycle team once again crossed the streets, although it was not an immediate sensation in the city, in a small area, a wave of undercurrents had been mobilized.
The men's dormitory building of Yongning College.
A short boy rushed into the building, climbed four floors in one go, and suddenly pushed open the bedroom door: "Lao Wang, hurry, the newly opened computer store is going to hold an event today, and the grand prize of 10,000 yuan! You're a brute!"
Several boys in the dormitory instantly boiled. The old king of their dormitory is a must, the king of the speed of the whole class.
"There is still such a competition? Lao Wang, you deserve to win the prize, hurry up!"
Several people quickly got dressed, and a boy wearing glasses rushed out.
β¦β¦
In the office building of the newspaper, Fang Ruoxi, who was working overtime to type a press release, was interrupted.
"Ruoxi, what kind of press release are you typing, go to the competition!"
Fang Ruoxi asked blankly, "What game?"
The little girl who interrupted her said excitedly: "Do you remember the back cover advertisement on the evening newspaper yesterday? That shop is holding a competition today, looking for a gold medal typist in Yongning, and the grand prize of 10,000 yuan!
Fang Ruoxi's heart was pounding. She is also a little transparent in the newspaper office, and she has not yet become a regular when she first enters the unit, but because she types quickly, she is often extra active. I usually work overtime, and my monthly salary is not a few hundred yuan.
"But I haven't finished recording this manuscript told by the editor-in-chief......"
"Oh, it's too late to do this tomorrow, hurry up and go!"
β¦β¦
Jade Bird Computer School.
Gu Shenglan was practicing the homework assigned by the teacher when she heard the teacher call her.
"What's the matter, teacher?" walked outside the classroom door and saw that the principal and the teacher were there.
"Gu Shenglan, I have made so many students in this computer school, and your typing speed is the fastest. Today, a newly opened computer store held a competition, looking for a gold medal typist in Yongning, with a grand prize of 10,000 yuan, you can participate in a competition on behalf of our school. β
Liu Qingbin, the principal of Jade Bird Computer School, felt that this competition was simply created for the computer training school, and it was a great opportunity for publicity.
Without waiting for Gu Shenglan to react, he went downstairs to drive.
β¦β¦
The flow of people to the Rover Experience Store is increasing rapidly.
Xu Jiahui set up a table in the open space at the door and arranged for a person to sign up.
The on-site promotional materials prepared in advance were also very simple, with a banner pulled at the door: "Rover Gold Keyboard Competition, looking for Yongning Gold Medal Typist." β
The rules of the contest are written on a simple poster with words.
The rules of the preliminary round are simple, typing on a piece of paper provided by the rover. Xu Jiahui prepared a promotional manuscript introducing the roamer, a total of more than 500 words, which can be correctly typed within 5 minutes.
Applicants enter the store in order to compete on the same computer. At first, everyone could still enter the store to watch, but there were more and more people, Gu Song immediately decided to suspend business, dedicated to the game, and all the guests who did not compete watched outside the store. Qian Zhi and Cen Gong asked a boy to help maintain order at the door.
It was a very simple game, but as the crowd gradually increased, the experts gradually appeared, and the crowd outside the door watched the typing performance on the display table in the store through the clear glass.
In an era when most people who know how to use computers can only play two or three crosses a minute, it is a spectacle to watch a master play blindly.
Everyone who can pass the level is greeted with a round of applause, and those who can rush into 3 minutes are in an uproar.
Gu Song didn't expect that a simple typing competition would have such an effect.
For a whole day, Gu Song didn't know how many typing masters in Yongning had either come by hearing the news or were pulled over by relatives and friends. But if you win by typing, you can get a grand prize of 10,000 yuan, and the rover experience store was watched all day.
At 5:30 p.m., the preliminary round had to be raised to 4 minutes for the sake of tomorrow's finals, and 36 people will participate in the finals tomorrow morning.
The Rover Experience Store has attracted the attention of the whole city in an unexpected way.
