Chapter 425: The Birth of the

In Pengcheng, Guangdong Province, although the New Year of 1996 hadn't arrived yet, according to the Gregorian calendar, it was already January 1996, and the New Year would be next month.

Approaching the Spring Festival, the streets of Pengcheng were still full of hurried people. There were construction sites everywhere, and even in winter, work didn't stop. High-rise buildings were rising from the ground.

Miracles were born here every day. People from all over the country—company founders, adventurers, government unit personnel, professors, and even college students—were constantly pouring in here, looking for opportunities to get rich overnight and achieve success.

Here, new buildings were completed every day, new wealth stories were born every day, and every day people obtained status that ordinary people could only look up to. But there were also people who exhausted their savings, were heavily in debt, and had to leave in a sorry state.

As the most economically developed region in the country, Pengcheng's statistical per capita annual income was close to 15,000 yuan. This was the city with the highest income in the country at present, and it was also the result of thousands of people going to sea to break into the special zone.

In a newly built residential area in Pengcheng—Pengcheng now had quite a few modern residential areas, including some elevator "luxury homes"—now, as long as they were equipped with elevators, ceilings, wooden floors, water heaters, and toilets, and had green gardens in the residential area, they could be called luxury homes.

Even the higher the floor, the more expensive it sold, as if they wanted to reach the clouds. As for those living in five or six-story walk-up buildings, they were all envious of those living in high-rise buildings.

Yin Zhuangjie woke up in a 28-story elevator luxury home, different from the elevator room in Pingyang's Oriental Jiayuan.

The elevator in Oriental Jiayuan was a sky-high price in Pingyang and even the entire Hanxi, selling for 1,800 yuan per square meter. But the Dongling Gao Ke parent company provided ten-year interest-free loans to employees who purchased Oriental Jiayuan—that is, lending money to employees to buy houses. Within ten years, they only needed to repay the principal, no interest.

According to the rate of salary increases, after ten years, the mortgage of more than 100,000 yuan, although still not low, was already affordable compared to the salary!

But Pengcheng was different from Pingyang. This 100-square-meter elevator luxury home that Yin Zhuangjie bought cost more than one million yuan before. That's right, he bought the house when Pengcheng's housing prices were at their highest.

Or rather, it shouldn't be described as buying; it should be described as grabbing. At that time, houses in Pengcheng, like those in Yazhou, were too popular, as if all the rich people in Asia had run over to buy houses, and housing prices were rolling upwards.

Yin Zhuangjie couldn't help but buy one at the time. Then, starting last year, Pengcheng's housing prices fell all the way to the current average price of 6,000 to 7,000 per square meter. Of course, Yin Zhuangjie also lost 300,000 to 400,000 on this house.

Even for Yin Zhuangjie, who lived in it himself and ran a small company with decent business, he felt a bit of a heartache.

"Call your son up quickly, and you hurry up and wash your hands to eat. He's almost going to be late for school!"

Yin Zhuangjie's wife seemed to hear him wake up and came in directly, shouting at him.

"Should we buy a Beibeijia for our son?"

During breakfast, Yin Zhuangjie's wife said to him. As soon as he heard Beibeijia, Yin Zhuangjie's head hurt a little.

Yesterday he accompanied his wife to watch TV for a while, just for half an hour, and he heard the slogan for Beibeijia no less than a hundred times. No matter which channel he turned to, it was a Beibeijia advertisement.

Yin Zhuangjie had grown up and seen quite a few outrageous things in Pengcheng, but this time it was so outrageous—the advertising coverage was like carpet bombing, even more capable of advertising than those selling health supplements. It was the first time he had seen it.

Hearing his wife's words and looking at his son, Yin Zhuangjie really wanted to say that the thing might not be useful. But when the words reached his lips, he hesitated again, and couldn't help but think of the advertisement he saw yesterday: "You can't let your child lose at the starting line of life." Finally, his words changed to, "Wait until I come back today and we'll see!"

After eating, Yin Zhuangjie took his son to school. After entering the elevator, as soon as he got in, Yin Zhuangjie saw the advertisement on the elevator advertising screen, and his eyes were stunned.

The elevator advertisement in Yin Zhuangjie's home appeared in the second half of this year. Yin Zhuangjie heard that the advertising fee in this elevator was shared equally between the property management and the owners, which could reduce property management fees and the like, so Yin Zhuangjie didn't object. If Yin Zhuangjie looked carefully, he would find that in the corner of this STN screen advertising board in the elevator, there was a line of small print: The right to interpret this advertisement belongs to Focus Media Company.

But at this moment, the advertisement appearing in the elevator was Beibeijia's advertisement. Yin Zhuangjie saw this advertisement, and his expression became a bit strange. He didn't know how many advertisements this suddenly popped up Beibeijia had actually played.

After getting downstairs and driving out of the residential area, when he passed a bus, Yin Zhuangjie saw Beibeijia's advertisement on the bus body. When he passed a commercial area and stopped at a red light, Yin Zhuangjie looked up and saw Beibeijia's figure again in the most conspicuous position outside the mall. At this time, Yin Zhuangjie was a little numb.

"Yin Zong, these are the newspapers of major local media in Pengcheng and Guangdong Province today!"

As soon as he entered the company, an employee of Yin Zhuangjie's company followed the usual practice and brought a pile of collected newspapers and placed them on his office desk.

The person who delivered the newspapers had just closed the door when he heard a wail from inside, which gave the people outside a big fright.

"What is the background of Beibeijia? Are they crazy? How many advertisements have they played!"

Yin Zhuangjie opened the newspaper and looked at it—it was either advertising for Beibeijia or publishing retail stores selling Beibeijia in Pengcheng. Yin Zhuangjie finally wailed. He was bombed by this advertising density until his head hurt a little.

But when Yin Zhuangjie thought this was the limit, his PHS mobile phone suddenly made a sound. Yin Zhuangjie opened the text message on his mobile phone and completely couldn't hold it anymore. This was actually also a Beibeijia advertisement.

However, after the wailing, Yin Zhuangjie looked at the Beibeijia advertisement and suddenly fell into deep thought. He didn't know who was operating Beibeijia, but it was clear that they had spent a lot of effort and were obviously trying to prop up this product.

"Come in a few people!"

Yin Zhuangjie shouted to the outside, "You follow the address on this newspaper and go see how the business is in the store in this mall that sells Beibeijia!"

"Go and find out which company pushed Beibeijia and who the founder is!"

Being able to gain a foothold in Pengcheng, Yin Zhuangjie also fought his way out. Without some vision and ability, he would have been swallowed up long ago.

From this movement, Yin Zhuangjie saw something different. Just like the health supplements of a few years ago, if you entered the industry early, you would have achieved financial freedom long ago. Yin Zhuangjie wasn't sure if this would be an opportunity!

In a residence in Yanjing, a knock on the door sounded. Meng Wancui opened the door and saw a man wearing a red vest standing in front of the door. The logo of Oriental Express was printed on the front of the vest. The person's face was dusty, and there was even sweat on his head in this weather, obviously having run quite a few roads.

"Xiao Zhang is here. Come in and drink some water!" Meng Wancui was obviously familiar with the person.

"Meng Jie, next time. It's really too busy today. I still have quite a few orders waiting for me to deliver today. You should be the first batch of buyers to receive Beibeijia today. I saw your order and delivered it to you in advance!"

Zhang Hai was the Oriental Express personnel responsible for delivering to Meng Wancui's area. He was familiar with Meng Wancui entirely because he delivered things to her, and he delivered them many times.

Since TV shopping appeared in Yanjing, Meng Wancui, who had a good family background and whose main job was a housewife specifically taking care of her husband and children, became one of the first batch of online shopping parties in the country.

Hearing that she was the first batch of buyers to get Beibeijia in Yanjing, Meng Wancui smiled. Hearing that Zhang Hai still had to deliver express mail for TV shopping users, Meng Wancui didn't try to keep him anymore. After signing and settling the payment for Beibeijia, she returned to the house.

Meng Wancui bought a lot of things from TV shopping and had also bought from different TV shopping platforms. Relatively speaking, the things in Focus Selection's shopping channel were better than other TV shopping platforms in terms of product quality, returns and exchanges, after-sales service, and delivery speed.

Seeing the product packaging of Beibeijia, Meng Wancui felt it was acceptable. It definitely couldn't compare to the luxury goods she bought in Yanjing malls, but it was much more exquisite than the outer packaging of ordinary clothes.

Opening the package, she saw a "Care" card inside, which read, "It is an honor to serve you. This product is a medical auxiliary device, not a medicinal product. If you feel uncomfortable, please go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible!"

Seeing this sentence, Meng Wancui was not dissatisfied, but rather quite satisfied. If it blew that it could cure all diseases, she wouldn't believe it. Now this kind of reminder was more real.

Then there was the instruction manual. Meng Wancui picked it up and read it casually. Wearing it was very simple, but there were also usage instructions behind it, such as "Wearing this product for half an hour to one hour is the best usage time, it cannot be worn continuously for three hours every day, and it needs to be used at intervals of two to three months," etc.

Meng Wancui took out a set of Beibeijia. She bought two sets, one for her daughter and one for herself.

After putting it on and tightening the straps, feeling her waist and shoulders tighten suddenly, Meng Wancui couldn't help but let out a light cry. After moving her muscles and bones, Meng Wancui felt it was okay. Walking to the mirror and seeing her straight figure in the mirror, she felt it was quite good this time.

At the headquarters of Yanjing Focus Media Company, in Li Yan's office, Du Guoying was constantly circling, making Li Yan feel a bit dazzled.

"Sales statistics can only be counted at noon at the earliest, and they can only count the preliminary sales of TV shopping in big cities like Yanjing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Pengcheng.

The specific sales for the first day, I guess they can only be fully counted by tomorrow night!" Li Yan said helplessly to Du Guoying.

"Having the sales for the morning is fine too!" Du Guoying stopped and said.

The phone on the desk rang. After Li Yan connected, he said to Du Guoying, "The first Beibeijia sold by Yanjing's first TV shopping channel has been received!"
