On Sunday, Zhang Chen stared at the store for another day, and after yesterday's blowout, Sunday's sales doubled, with sales of 30 units in one day, and sales of more than 200,000!

This number, even if it is placed in the golden age of PCs in 5 years, as far as a single store is concerned, it is enough to be proud of the rivers and lakes.

In history, 96 years is a watershed in the development of home computers, the country's overall PC sales a year 700,000 units, and individual purchases only account for less than 10% of the total market, that is to say, 96 years is still unit purchases occupy the absolute market. In '97, the entire market demand completely turned, and in just one year, PC sales exceeded 1.5 million units in the first half of '97, and more than 4 million units for the whole year! 70% of the growth came from individual purchases.

And now, aliens have detonated the home computer market in Bincheng a year ahead of schedule, especially the minimum 7999 yuan to buy Pentium shouted in the advertisement, which has smashed through the floor price of the brand machine. With the tall storefront, a more advanced operation model. The aliens are more popular than ever in Ben Thanh!

In the whole March of '96, Alien shipped more than 200 units in total, and its market share in Ben Cheng was close to 20%!

Alien's net profit margin is currently more than 18%, and in the first half of March alone, the cash flow exceeded 1.3 million, and there was a net profit of 320,000.

Zhang Chen and Liu Ming had a meeting and decided to put 80% of the net profit into operation, and the rest of the profit will be distributed according to the equity of the two.

At the same time, Zhang Chen suggested that Liu Ming find the best processing factory as soon as possible to carry out the OEM of chassis, displays, and speakers. In addition, Zhang Chen gave Liu Ming a few product design drawings and asked Liu Ming to go to the patent office as soon as possible to help him apply for utility model and appearance patents.

After all, Zhang Chen studied design in college, although he later transferred to the market, but after all, the design skills are still there, and it is still very easy to plagiarize some appearance patents of later generations. The design he came up with this time was the first generation of iMac launched by Apple in 98 - G3 Jelly.

Apple's first-generation iMac was the first product launched by Steve Jobs after his return to Apple. It has changed the business strategy of Apple's product line chaos in the previous decade, with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west. Cutting out a lot of useless product lines, the entire company's R&D efforts were pooled together to develop the first generation of the iMac.

It has to be said that the first generation of iMac refreshed the perception of personal computer users. Whether it was a colorful and transparent display or a graphics processor with 6M of video memory, it was a revolutionary move at the time. And the iMac has also become the pinnacle of Apple's revival. In '98, Apple was profitable for the first time in five years, and by 2000, its stock price was up nine times from when Steve Jobs took office, and almost all of this was brought about by the iMac.

But for ordinary consumers, what attracts the iMac the most is undoubtedly the extremely artistic appearance.

Zhang Chen's design is to copy the iMac's product design in its entirety, with almost no changes.

Zhang Chen believes that as long as the foundry is done and the right supplier is found, this copycat iMac, which came out two years ahead of schedule, will definitely set off a frenzy in the Chinese PC market.

After arranging these tasks, Zhang Chen still lives a 7-to-8 student life, his review of all subjects in the second year of junior high school has basically ended, and he is currently focusing on mathematics and physics Olympiad problems, and insists on practicing spoken English and memorizing words every day.

English Zhang Chen is not worried about his grades at all, in the future life, whether it is mathematics, Chinese, physics, chemistry, he may learn these things because he has not used them for a long time, he will forget them. But Zhang Chen really worked hard to learn English in his last life, of course, after going to work.

Zhang Chen's English was not good when he was in school, and it was even more difficult to pass the fourth level. But after going to work, he found that English is the most useful at work, and even if he is not good at English, he has no chance of promotion. So Zhang Chen didn't start practicing English hard until he was twenty-six or seventeen years old, plus he worked in a foreign company, and his boss was a foreigner.

In addition to studying, Zhang Chen bought another guitar, although it is very vulgar, but there is no way, this is the only instrument he has ever touched. When he was in college, there was a roommate in the dormitory who was obsessed with classical guitar, and under his influence, Zhang Chen also learned a little about simple notation and staves. The level of the guitar can only be said to be so-so, and the more complex chords are not good to play.

But Zhang Chen still bought a guitar because he wanted to surprise Lin Xiaoxia.

A week later, Zhang Chen gave the Sony Walkman to Lin Xiaoxia. Lin Xiaoxia didn't want to live or die at first, this girl's self-esteem was too strong. In the end, under Zhang Chen's strong pressure, Lin Xiaoxia reluctantly accepted it.

When Lin Xiaoxia came home from school, she was the only one at home, and her mother worked in a restaurant and had not yet gotten off work. Lin Xiaoxia took out some leftovers from the dilapidated refrigerator and put them in the pot to heat them up for dinner.

Lin Xiaoxia ate and took out the walkman that Zhang Chen gave him. Open the cassette compartment, and there is a soundtrack from the movie "Gone with the Wind" inside. Zhang Chen told Lin Xiaoxia that it is best to practice listening with this, because the pronunciation in it is the most standard, and there is a plot, not boring.

Lin Xiaoxia put the tape back on the Walkman and pressed the play button. The theme song of "Gone with the Wind" "Myowntruelove" slowly sounded.

After the theme song was played, Lin Xiaoxia also finished eating and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. At this time, there was a "click" sound from the Walkman, and then, Zhang Chen's voice sounded inside.

"Xiao Xia, I'm Zhang Chen, I want to tell you that I like you. Maybe I can't promise you a definite future right now, but believe me, in this world, besides your mother, there is someone who really cares about you in his heart. He wants you to be happy, he wants you to be happy, and he wants you to be the happiest person in the world. No matter how much haze there is in the past, I hope that we can walk through it together in the future. Zhang Chen's voice on the tape recorder paused and continued, "There is a song called "Cryonmyshoulder", and the Chinese is called "Crying on My Shoulder". I only hope that when you are sad and even desperate, don't insist, please cry on my shoulder. ”

After a few guitar chords, Zhang Chen's singing voice came slowly:

Iftheheronevercomestoyou if your true destiny has not yet come

Ifyouneedsomeoneyourefeelingblue if you are feeling down and need someone to accompany you

Ifyoureawayfromloveandyourealone If you are far from love, alone

Lin Xiaoxia was already lying on the table and crying silently.

Ps. I recommend everyone to listen to this song, a very heartwarming song. I'm afraid that the lyrics will be said to make up the number of words, so I still wrote the lyrics that were posted after 1900 and only a part of them were intercepted. The full lyrics match Lin Xiaoxia's mood very well, so if you are interested, you can search for it.
