Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

Time flies by, and another National Day is coming in a blink of an eye.

On October 1, 1991, for many office workers, the National Day holiday is a rare holiday in a year.

Students have a holiday, and workers have a rest.

Even the Huasheng Group Industrial Zone has a three-day holiday. In fact, the workers don’t want to take a holiday. You know, the statutory holiday is three times the salary.

But Huasheng Group gave employees a holiday, but although it was a holiday, it still paid eight hours of basic salary every day, which was considered a paid holiday. Everyone has been busy for so long, and it’s time to rest. Especially for employees whose children are in the staff school, it’s also a different kind of happiness to spend three days at home with their children. After all, life is not just about making money.

Today in Yanjing, the autumn is clear and refreshing.

Because it is a holiday, many people went to the department store in Wangfujing early in the morning, ready to go shopping and buy some things.

Although China’s economy is not good now, there are still many rich people in Yanjing. After all, the economy is poor because most people are poor. Even in the poorest countries, there are some rich people.

But today is different from usual. When these people came to the door of the department store, they did not enter the department store. Instead, they were attracted by a store next to the department store.

After such a long period of renovation, the mysterious store of Huasheng Brand Wangfujing Direct Store finally unveiled its mysterious veil today.

After unveiling the mysterious veil, the store immediately attracted everyone's attention.

There is no way, the whole store is like a pearl in the dark, too dazzling.

The store has two floors, and the walls along the street have been knocked down and replaced with huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The wall at the edge of the floor-to-ceiling window is decorated with silver-gray special aluminum plates, which looks particularly beautiful.

The door head is also very simple, with only a huge rabbit logo with light on, and a few small words under the rabbit logo: Huasheng Wangfujing Store, and there is nothing else.

The floor-to-ceiling windows on the upper and lower floors allow pedestrians to see everything in the store at a glance.

At this moment, the lights in the store are on. The specially arranged spotlights make the store particularly bright, and beautiful electrical appliances are displayed in the store.

In the store, all the staff are wearing red uniforms.

The beautiful female clerks are like flight attendants, looking particularly beautiful and elegant. And the male clerks are tall and handsome, like flight attendants.

Just looking at the appearance of these staff, you can know that this store is not comparable to other stores.

Such a store is definitely a high-end store in this era, even if it is placed in thirty years. Against the backdrop of Huasheng Direct Store, the department store next to it is like a lump of earth from the countryside. The department store that used to be high-end in the eyes of the people of Yanjing is extremely earthy by comparison.

Such a store makes many people dare not even go in.

The new store opened without flower baskets or firecrackers. It opened directly without all kinds of messy advertisements. The main theme is clean and comfortable.

"Hello, sir, welcome..."

When the store officially opened, a middle-aged man in his forties entered the store.

After entering the store, he immediately felt the difference here. The staff spoke nicely, had a good service attitude, and the things in the store were even more beautiful.

The decoration of the entire store gave people a very high-end feeling. He didn't even dare to walk around and touch anything, always afraid that he would dirty the store.

But when he saw the prices of the products in the store, the middle-aged man couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

One word: expensive!

The things here are not ordinary expensive. The middle-aged man originally thought that his usual income was already very good, with an income of two or three thousand per month, which is definitely top-notch in this era.

But looking at the prices of the products in this store, especially after seeing the double-door refrigerator in the store that looked the most high-end, the price of five sixes once made the middle-aged man think he had seen it wrong.

Whose refrigerator is selling for 66666? Sixty-six thousand to buy a refrigerator, this brain is not out of place, right?

Looking at other products in the store, they are all the same, good-looking, beautiful, fashionable, but expensive.

"Girl, is this a new VCD? Why are you selling it so expensive?"

After looking around, the middle-aged man finally set his sights on the DVD. This is the cheapest of all the home appliances in the room. But even if it is cheap, the price is as high as 9999 yuan.

Compare it with the VCDs on the market. Because the production capacity has increased, the price of VCDs on the market can basically be bought for around 2000 yuan.

Although this VCD looks better, the price isThe difference is too big, a five-fold price difference.

"Hello, sir, this is not a VCD player, this is a more advanced DVD player. It is one generation ahead of the VCD player in terms of technology..."

The salesperson began to explain the DVD player in detail, and personally took out the genuine disc to demonstrate. When the middle-aged man saw that a DVD disc could store a TV series, he was also very surprised.

Not only that, comparing the quality of the film, the quality of the DVD film is much better than the quality of the VCD used at home, and this gap can be seen at a glance.

"Miss, can this DVD be cheaper?"

The middle-aged man finally couldn't help asking.

"I'm sorry, sir, our Huasheng products are all priced uniformly across the country. Our sales staff have no right to change the price. But because today is our first day of business, if you buy our products, we can give you some small gifts..."

The words of the staff made the middle-aged man sigh, and he finally didn't want to buy it. After all, 10,000 yuan is not a small amount in this era.

However, the middle-aged man remembered the DVD product. After leaving Huasheng's store, he entered the department store next door.

"Hello, do you have a DVD player?"

"Hello, do you have a DVD?"

"Hello..."

After running to several electrical appliance stores in a row, the middle-aged man got the same answer. They didn't have a DVD player, only a VCD player.

But the middle-aged man was not without gain. In the department store, he saw a newly opened counter with a brand name called Xingyao.

The product style inside is somewhat similar to that of Huasheng, but it does not have the exquisiteness of Huasheng. The same style of products, just the paint surface looks different.

But Xingyao is cheap. The same refrigerator costs 66,000 yuan at Huasheng, but only 26,000 yuan at Xingyao. The difference is huge.

There is no DVD player here either, but the Xingyao counter gave the middle-aged man a message that he did not get in other stores.
