On this ordinary Monday, the sun was scorching hot. It was too hot to step out of the air-conditioned room and stay on the street for one more second.
However, the streets and alleys are still crowded with people.
People think differently.
Some young women were rushing to work as usual, while counting down the days until school started.
Usually, he would secretly curse his "bastard" for being so disobedient.
They usually don't pay much attention to online information, and the large group carnival formed due to the hot search for Xinghai's new products seems to be two parallel lines to them.
Under the same hot or even hotter sun, there are also a similar group of slightly older people counting on their fingers how many days until school starts again.
The difference is that due to various factors such as geographical location, what they are thinking about is how their children will go to school this year.
In a town in west-central China where there are mountains wherever you look in any direction, a young woman who looks a little older is wearing a bamboo hat and drying the freshly harvested rice in the sun.
This furry boy squatted under the west-facing eaves, rustling and not knowing what he was doing.
When young women occasionally catch a glimpse of this furry child, their hearts sink.
"If I don't send him to school this year, he will be 8 years old next year. I don't know if Murakami's news is accurate..."
"It's probably the village party secretary's way of coaxing everyone. He asks every year but there is no news every year. There are only a few idiots on the dam, so there is no need to care..."
"My father only knows how to go to school in the county. He doesn't know how much it costs. He doesn't have any craft skills. He can't just go out and get in. Once he leaves, it will take him eighty or ninety years to pay back..."
"Sigh... If I had known I had given birth a few years earlier, I would have avoided giving birth anyway... Just like his brother, at least I could have gone directly to the countryside to attend junior high school!"
"Back-time stuff!"
While turning over the rice to dry, the woman muttered in her heart, and accidentally said it out loud.
I couldn't help but sigh again.
After fooling around for a few times, the woman walked back under the eaves to the furry child. She had already made up her mind to ask the child's opinion.
Before she could speak, she heard someone shouting from across the field: "His second sister-in-law, his second sister-in-law, hurry up! Bring your little Mao to Murakami quickly, so that your baby can go to school!"
"Come on! Go find the way and register first!!"
"ah?"
The woman stood up suddenly and rushed forward two steps before her brain could react.
"How...how did you say that."
The man with white hair who shouted from the opposite side waved repeatedly: "Come here, you will know when you bring Xiao Mao."
The woman responded and yelled: "Go and wash your hands quickly! What do you mean by playing in the mud every day!"
People who have been doing farm work all year round walk with a bit of wind.
We arrived at Murakami in a few steps.
A white sign was hung on a wooden pillar, and several motorcycles were parked under the sign.
The woman also saw several other neighbors with children aged four, five, six and seven years old.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and looking a little serious walked in, accompanied by the party secretary of Laotou Village. He looked at a few children and smiled before saying anything: "Hello, I am the principal of Xiaba Village Primary School...
…”
"Is such that……"
"The primary school is completely ready now. Your side is a little further away and is the last one. Considering the distance, the school also has some arrangements. There will be a small school bus to pick up and drop off every day, but it can only be sent to the entrance of the village.
.”
"I know you may have some questions, so let's go to the school to find our way and take a look."
"Now the nine-year compulsory education is free, and the school bus and lunch are free, so there is no need to worry about money."
A few peasant women didn't understand much of it at all, and they just responded submissively.
The woman was a little younger and a little bolder. Before she even walked out of the village, she couldn't help but ask: "Principal, aren't the buildings at the elementary school in Xiaba ruined? Don't they get out of the way?"
The principal replied in a gentle tone: "You are talking about the old primary school. A new school was built at the beginning of the year."
The woman asked again: "Aren't we poorer when we go down to the dam... than when we go up to the dam?"
The principal made a gesture and said with a smile: "That's right, this school was donated by a big company. It is said that 500 such schools were donated at one time at the beginning of the year. They are not only responsible for repairing the school building, but also responsible for providing financial support, such as school buses and lunches.
All."
"..."
The school seemed to be very aware of the situation here, and the few motorcycles that came there were just enough to squeeze in the adults and children.
After walking nearly ten miles around the mountain road, everyone saw the new and very different primary school before we arrived.
There was inevitably some shouting.
When we arrived at school, similar combinations of adults and children could be seen everywhere. The playground and teaching building were full of people.
Women gradually understood the details.
Some questions were gradually answered.
She wanted to ask before why this school didn't have the name of that big company. She had also heard that primary schools donated and built had the name of the company.
Only when I arrived at the school did I realize that the big company didn't care about these small things. Instead, it paid great attention to things like teaching quality, teaching methods, student safety, student life, and student commuting matters. It listed many regulations, including one, two, three, and four.
The woman asked several people before she found out the name of the kind-hearted company.
What is it called Bolang?
…………
There are others like women wondering how their children will go to school this year.
They are also young women.
However, they are all dressed appropriately and even a little glamorous.
I was so busy on Monday and still seemed worried.
As we were making coffee together, a little girl asked in a low voice: "Sister Wang, you have to take leave on Friday."
"Well, I have to send my children home to school, so I can't make it on Saturday." Sister Wang replied, "Fortunately, the high-speed rail is convenient now. Two years ago, I would have had to take a few days off."
The little girl nodded and agreed: "The high-speed rail is fast and convenient."
"But, Sister Wang, why don't you think about letting your children go to school here in the capital? The conditions are much better."
Sister Wang sighed: "I also think that you can't get into public schools. Generally, you have to have a household registration and a house, or you have to be selected by lottery. Private schools are basically unaffordable. The tuition fee for a slightly better one is 20,000 to 30,000 yuan."
"That's right, that's right. They are all divided into school districts. It's difficult." The little girl said as if she had thought of something. "By the way, Sister Wang, in the past two days, I vaguely heard from my neighbor that there is a Yawang school that doesn't spend much money. No.
Do you remember if this happened?"
Sister Wang didn’t believe it at all: “How could such a good thing happen?”
"How about I ask the neighbors."
"Don't bother."
"fine."
The little girl was quite enthusiastic. She dialed the neighbor's phone number in front of Sister Wang and asked about the matter directly.
I quickly got a positive answer.
Then the little girl hung up the phone and hurriedly said to Sister Wang: "Really, really, this is really the case. He said that you can search Yawang School with Xiaocheng Book and you will find out."
"Why don't I believe it so much?" Sister Wang said this, but she still took out her iPhone and started searching.
Found the details quickly.
The more Sister Wang looked, the more surprised she became.
I couldn't help but say: "I have to go and take a look at it at noon. This is actually a chain education group. There are several in Beijing, and there happens to be one nearby. It is the former private one."
"Provide nine-year compulsory education to all permanent residents in the city, exempting tuition and fees..."
"There is a school bus to pick up and drop off..."
"Tsk..."
If it weren't for her busy schedule, Sister Wang would have wanted to go right away.
After finally getting off work at noon, Sister Wang grabbed her cell phone and ran away. The little girl was also very curious and followed her.
Although it wasn't far, Sister Wang took a taxi as soon as she got downstairs and arrived at the school that had been renamed Yawang within a few minutes.
Sister Wang looked around and could clearly see signs of new renovations both inside and outside the campus. The school seemed to have been well prepared and had arranged an information desk.
There is a paper brochure that explains various situations in detail.
If you have any questions, you can consult directly and someone will answer your questions.
Everyone had similar questions, so the school arranged for people to introduce them in detail.
"The school bus is not free. It is charged monthly. No refunds will be given if the month is less than one month. No refunds will be given if you miss the bus due to your own reasons. The monthly quota is 120 yuan per person..."
“There are no tuition or fees.”
"The school provides lunch, which is charged on a monthly basis. It is also non-refundable for less than one month and will not be refunded unless you eat it. The monthly quota for each person in primary school is 120 yuan, and the monthly quota per person in middle school is 150 yuan."
"There are no restrictions on household registration, residence, or distance. In principle, you can go to school in whichever campus you sign up for."
"Our campus has 1,700 new students enrolled, basically an average of 150 new students in each grade. The first and seventh grade students are considered freshmen, and 300 students are admitted to each grade. There is an entrance exam, which will be held in two days on August 30th and 31st.
.”
"Yawang School is considered a nationwide chain. Currently, there are 50 schools in five cities: Beijing, Jiangxia, Yangcheng, Xiamen, and Jinling. They are all about the same size. They belong to the Bolang Group, so there is no need to worry about their strength."
Many people with the same purpose as Sister Wang suddenly realized.
They were all overjoyed.
Regardless of whether your child can pass the exam, at least you have a choice. If a school enrolls 1,700 students, at least one city will enroll 13,500 new students.
The amount of attention and discussion caused by all this happening is obviously insignificant compared to the first-week sales of Xinghai's new products, Xinghai's wide acclaim in overseas markets, etc.
If Bo Lang doesn't take the initiative, the news won't spread too much.
It will appear quieter.
…………
…………
Time flies so fast, September 1st arrives in the blink of an eye.
In the past week or so, the number of XingHai1C sales areas has increased to 95, which basically covers major regions in Western Europe.
Sales results are getting better and better day by day.
However, public opinion has begun to cool down.
At around 8 o'clock in the morning, Wen Liang took Li Rang to the primary school affiliated with China Normal University to register. However, this time Li Rang's grade was directly changed from the first grade in the first half of the year to the third grade, skipping a grade.
Because it was a Sunday, the Chinese Normal Elementary School just registered and did not continue with the class.
So Wen Liang took Xiao Lirang into the Chinese Workers' Hospital.
He went to school to deal with it.
He had completed his credits long ago and had almost no classes during his junior year, let alone his senior year, which was mostly just a formality.
Go through the internship process according to the school's requirements.
It is best to write Mr. Wen's internship report. Anyway, everyone knows that Mr. Wen's side job is the general manager of Bolang Group, so it is not a big problem to complete the internship.
Hua Gong: "..."
Do you think I dare to say there is a problem?
They all started their own business in school and turned it into a well-known super conglomerate with a volume of more than one trillion yuan. This internship has long been dispensable.
At the same time, the woman also took Xiaomao into Xiaba Village Primary School.
Sister Wang took her child into Yawang School.
…………
…………
In the blink of an eye, at ten o'clock in the morning, the Xinghai computer series was open for sale.
Although many netizens came to watch the good things, computers are not considered a necessary item for mainstream consumer groups in this era, and sales are not good.
A total of more than 600 desktops and workstations were sold in ten minutes.
Sales volume exceeded 1,000 in one hour.
This time, people who eat melons were a little uncomfortable.
"Although I know that computers are not as necessary as mobile phones, it is not so bleak. I think Xinghai has put his heart into making computers."
"This sales volume makes Weiluo, the world's number one computer brand, very happy. The total sales volume of his best-selling computer models on Taobao and Tmall in a single month is only four to five thousand units. Please remember
, it’s a single month! And it’s a notebook, not an all-in-one computer or a host!”
"Anyway, I think over a thousand channels in one hour is an exaggeration."
"Once you buy a computer, you don't need to replace it for at least three to five years. Moreover, this is no longer the era of computers."
There are quite a few rational parties.
But this is also true.
When Bolang Terminal wants to develop its personal computer business, its focus is not on sales, but on gradually eroding the application ecological foundation laid by the Wintel alliance, and striving to gradually form a competitive stance.
Anyway, from the perspective of current and even future generations, there are almost no product series in consumer electronics that can compare with mobile phones.
The point is that mobile phones not only sell for a high price, but are also in great demand, so they say they can earn hundreds of millions of dollars.
As for computers…
Hard to say.
But Bolang also has a way.
At this time, Li Ze suddenly became excited about Xiao Cheng's book.
Li Ze: "Come and congratulate me, I don't have to tighten the screws this time!"
Netizen: "...Mr. Ze, are you so naughty?"
"..."
Obviously, Li Ze did it on purpose. He didn't do it to divert attention or anything, but this point happened to be the peak period of traffic, which gave him more exposure and could satisfy Mr. Ze's vanity.
This past week, the total sales volume of Xinghai 2/2Pro has exceeded 5 million units, because the Bolang factory has begun to ramp up production capacity in the last ten days of August, and has a new inventory of nearly 3 million units.
We can already consider opening up overseas markets.
…………
In this way, around half past eleven, some news came out all at once.
Bai Ge: "We have directly purchased 10,000 Xinghai desktops and workstations from Bolang Terminal."
Gongxin: “My company plans to purchase 50,000 Xinghai desktops and workstations.”
Mobile side: "My company has planned to purchase 150,000 Xinghai desktops and workstations."
"..."
Domestic companies or units that have always been in a cooperative relationship with Bolang Group and have good relations with each other have "stretched a helping hand."
Not only that, BTI, which targets overseas markets, has also announced that it plans to purchase a total of 250,000 Xinghai desktops and workstations, which will be used for the company's own use and other specific purposes.
In addition to daily office work, the so-called specific purpose actually means donating to overseas markets.
What Xinghai Computer series now wants is to expand its user base, not make money.
Bolang Group itself also sent out internal information through the general manager's office.
"From now on, all overseas branches, branches, and subsidiaries of Bolang Group will completely replace their office computers. Daily office work is limited to Xinghai desktop and Xinghai workstation."
This can be regarded as the most direct support for the Xinghai brand from the father of the group.
What’s interesting is that with this patchwork, the total sales volume of the Xinghai computer series actually exceeded one million units.
A number that no one has ever thought of.
Extremely incredible.
…
A little later, Wen Liang received a call from an old figure from Gongxin.
As soon as the call was connected, the old man congratulated: "Mr. Wen, congratulations on your company's new achievements in the market..."
Wen Liang felt something was wrong when he heard it, so he had no choice but to say: "Mr. Miao, if you have anything to say, just say it."
