Chapter 176 Waiting for good news on product launch!
"Thank you, thank you Teacher Tang. Come on, little guy, kowtow to Teacher Tang!"
"Hey, Uncle Liu, just kowtow, I'm just showing my appreciation!"
The next day, the Tang family was particularly lively.
Because the village chief went door to door to notify everyone.
Mr. Tang, the richest man, is going to give out red envelopes.
All villagers, from the age of sixty to the age of twelve, were welcome to attend. For a time, the whole village was in an uproar.
People in the next village are so envious and jealous!
But there is no way, who told me that I am not from Tang Xionghua Village.
Throughout the day, nearly 500 elderly people and over 200 children in the village all received red envelopes.
The whole village was filled with joy.
The benefits it brings are also obvious.
Not to mention Tang Xionghua, just take Tang Yichen as an example. He is strolling around the village now and doesn't even need the two bodyguards hired by Tang Xionghua. The village has arranged people for him.
And he was the kind who followed Tang Yichen openly with a rifle on his back.
The kidnapping in early 1993 had made the villagers nervous. Now that Tang Xionghua had done good again, the villagers had become even more alert.
In previous years, when strangers appeared in the village on the second day of the Lunar New Year, everyone might greet them with a smile.
But on the second day of the Lunar New Year this year, as soon as the villagers spotted you as a stranger, a group of them would surround you, and some would even come with hunting rifles.
In this case, even if someone with bad intentions wants to come in, they have to consider whether they are strong enough.
Apart from anything else, these days if you search door to door in a village, finding one or two hundred guns of various types is like a piece of cake.
If the villagers cause trouble and are alert, the famous gangs in Hong Kong will come and crush them.
However, under such circumstances, Tang Yichen did not always go out to act as a village bully.
He is not a real child, so most of the time he stays at home quietly, receives guests who visit during the New Year, and goes out to visit some relatives.
On the sixth day of the New Year, Tang Yichen followed Tang Xionghua out of the village again and headed towards Chuzhou.
They received the same treatment as when they came, with a police car leading the way and taking them all the way to Chuzhou before they turned back. After Tang Xionghua sent Tang Yichen back to Amber Villa, he went directly to Wanhua.
The VCD production line didn't stop even during the Chinese New Year. Now that I'm back, I must go and see it.
In fact, No. 7 Tang Xionghua set off for Shenzhen again.
Yanglai’s store is open 24 hours a day, and offers triple pay during the Chinese New Year. Voluntary overtime is accepted and the store remains open.
But as a big boss, I still have to go there at the beginning of the year.
On the 12th, Tang Xionghua returned to Chuzhou again and had nothing to do for the time being.
Occasionally I would go to the Wanhua factory, and when I had nothing to do, I would take Tang Yichen to play around Chuzhou. Time passed quickly.
This relaxed and leisurely period lasted until March 14th, when it officially ended.
Because tomorrow, CCTV’s advertisements will be aired.
In other words, VCD is about to be launched on the market.
This was approved directly from above after the decision on electricity purchase was made. Wanhua bought CCTV 30 million for the broadcast time from 7:31 to 7:31:40 in the morning, 12:31 to 12:31:40 in the afternoon, and 40 seconds after the evening weather forecast for one quarter.
Two minutes a day, but only costs 30 million, which is a very favorable price.
You have to know that this is CCTV's prime time, and the money is usually charged by the second during this period.
Even though this was 1993, one second of a day would cost at least five million. That is to say, an advertisement that runs for ten seconds once a day would cost at least 50 million.
But because of the special nature of VCD, it received the above attention, so it had this time and this price.
"Are you all ready? The phone will ring soon. Don't be anxious when it rings.
Pronounce words clearly, and be patient if some of the fellow villagers on the other side speak in dialect that you may not understand.
Take good notes.
The province, city, county, street or village, the person's name and phone number, and the details of the VCD and DVD purchases must all be recorded!
On the 15th, at around six in the morning, Tang Xionghua brought Tang Yichen to the power connection room prepared by Wanhua.
Sitting behind the three hundred phones were all women.
These are all recruited locally from Chuzhou. The requirements are not high, and being able to speak Mandarin fluently is basically enough.
At the moment, Tang Xionghua was in the switch room, holding a loudspeaker, reminding everyone again and again.
At this time, Tang Yichen was not in the switch room.
He was in the office next door, and he was the only one there. There was a TV in front of him, and the station was broadcasting CCTV news.
The first ad was after the morning news.
And now, time passed by minute by minute, and Tang Yichen stared at the TV.
But his ears were perked up, he was listening to the movement next door.
He wondered when the first call would come. Finally, the morning news ended.
The first advertisement is from Wanhua VCD.
The picture of a family of three appeared on TV.
The man was none other than Jet Li, and the woman was the "action girl" Yang Qiong, with whom he had just worked.
Among them was a little girl of six or seven years old, who was the future Yang Mi. This was the opportunity given to him by Tang Yichen.
When they decided to use this plan for shooting the advertisement, Tang Yichen contacted Xiao Mi Mi. When Xiao Mi Mi's mother heard that she could be on CCTV and work with Jet Li and Yang Qiong, she immediately said that she would buy tickets.
Right now, on TV, Mi Mi is sitting on a sofa like a little princess, raising her hand: "Dad, I want to watch Shaolin Temple!"
Beside, Yang Qiong, the "fighting girl" who was sitting with Xiao Mi Mi, said at the right time: "But what if my husband wants to watch the New Dragon Inn?"
The next second, the scene turned to Jet Li, who was holding a CD in each hand.
"It's all right, it's all right. We have Wanhua VCDs. You can watch whatever you want."
In the picture, Jet Li put the disc into the VCD disc compartment, and the picture of the color store zoomed in, revealing Jet Li and three others holding Wanhua VCD and a pile of discs.
"What is Wanhua VCD?" Xiao Mi Mi asked with her head tilted.
"This is it!"
Jet Li was holding a Wanhua TV, and the TV screen was playing images of various film and television works, as well as audio and video of singing.
"A groundbreaking patented product, leading the world, cheaper and more affordable, with integrated audio and video, a wide selection of movies, and a massive music karaoke library for you to choose from!"
Jet Li's voice fell,
A VCD and a large area of CDs with various titles popped up on the TV screen, with a string of phone numbers flashing below.
The voice narration of Jet Li and the other two appeared together.
"Wanhua VCD is the world's leading VCD brand. To order now, just call the number on the screen!
The price is only 3,999!"
"Please remember the number 400..."
The phone number was repeated three more times.
But at this time, Tang Yichen no longer had the heart to watch the advertisement, and his ears pricked up to listen to the movement next door.
In fact, in the switch room next door, Tang Xionghua, Jiang Wanmeng, and even Wanhua’s management and relevant leaders of Chuzhou were all waiting anxiously.
"Why hasn't the phone rang yet?"
"Why isn't the phone ringing?"
Everyone was getting a little impatient, and there was a color TV in the power room so they could watch commercials.
Now that Guanghao had finished, but the phone didn't ring, everyone couldn't help but get impatient.
In fact, Tang Xionghua's palms were also sweaty.
But reason told him that even if he took note of the advertisement immediately after seeing it, he would still need time to walk to the phone and dial the number if he had a home phone.
"Don't worry, don't worry, it takes time, just wait!"
Tang Xionghua spoke, not only to comfort others, but also to soothe his own anxious heart.
Finally, another seven or eight seconds passed.
"Jingle Bell"
