Chapter 136 The Man with the Coordinate Status
When he was in middle school in his previous life, Zhang Yunqi's English grades were actually quite good. A sprained tiger could not possibly pass the high school entrance examination. It was just that he was too young at that time, and young people are bound to be a little rebellious. In addition, he was the number one student in the school, so he felt that this thing was not difficult and useless. He never thought of making a living by English, nor did he think of going overseas to become a fake foreigner. What's the point of spending so much energy learning this?
At that time, he thought that solving math problems was the best thing, which gave him a sense of achievement, so he didn't remember what he learned in English. After he passed the high school entrance exam and became the top scorer, he gave up on English. In fact, he didn't really need English later, except to recognize moans while watching European and American porn movies.
In his previous life, Zhang Yunqi had never been to university, but he often heard people complain about the abnormal system of College English Test Band 4. In fact, according to his thinking, he really felt that this thing was set by stupid people. Americans would never require passing Chinese Test Band 4 to graduate, so why should we accommodate them?
Even from the perspective of openness and communication, if students are required to pass the Level 4 foreign language test, they should be free to choose, it can be English, French, Korean or Japanese. If Zhang Yunqi had to choose, he would definitely choose Somali. In the future, he will have the opportunity to make due contributions to his African brothers, and will never flatter the Americans.
Although he really had no interest in English, it was not a good thing to let his overall grades fall because of it. After taking over Chujian's English notebook, he made up for the English lessons he had missed and asked Chujian about the things he didn't understand.
At the end of the last class in the morning, Zhang Yunqi handed back Chu Jian's English notebook after doing the exercises last night and said thank you. Chu Jian nodded. Zhang Yunqi thought for a moment, poked her back with a pen, and said, "Your mother is working at my house now."
Chu Jian nodded: "I know."
Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "How about we go to my house for dinner after school?"
Chu Jian blushed and said, "I've been eating at your house these past two days."
Zhang Yunqi was stunned, he didn't know what was going on.
When they first met, she told him that because her mother worked in a fish meal shop, Aunt Zhang had repeatedly told her to come to the fish meal shop for lunch after school every day.
Zhang Yunqi was very happy, his mother was really good at handling things.
The two chatted for a few words, then turned their heads and continued to concentrate on their homework. Zhang Yunqi leaned on the desk and fished for a while. After school at noon, the two went to the fish meal shop at home for lunch.
From twelve o'clock to about one o'clock is the busiest time for the fish meal shop at noon. In order to take care of the business, Zhang Yunqi has lunch relatively late, and he doesn't have time to eat until about half past one.
During the time before dinner, Chu Jian helped with chores, wiping the table and collecting dishes. She was so diligent that Mother Zhang felt a little guilty. But that was how this girl was. She was always afraid that she wasn't doing well enough and would cause trouble for others.
On the way back to school after dinner, Zhang Yunqi bought a copy of Jiangchuan Daily from the newsstand. He returned to the classroom and sat down to read it. The front page of the newspaper was the current political news of Jiangchuan City, and the back page was filled with dense advertisements. The middle page was arranged freely by the editorial department, and it was full of various eye-catching news. Zhang Yunqi flipped through it carefully, and as expected, it recorded a homicide case of not too big or small.
The victim was a young man in his twenties from Jiangchuan City. His home was in the Xinlin area of the northern part of the city. His name was Liu Meng. He had been in the Jiangchuan City Juvenile Detention Center for fighting with others. The day before yesterday afternoon, he was shot in the head in a small restaurant run by his parents and died on the spot. Currently, the Jiangchuan City police are making every effort to investigate the suspect.
After reading it, Zhang Yunqi smiled, twisted the newspaper into a ball and threw it directly into the dustpan. After school in the afternoon, Zhang Yunqi called Yu Lin to arrange a meeting. Now he has obtained the general distribution rights of Subor learning machines in Xiangdong area, but he has no channels, no salesmen, no trucks, and the efficiency of starting the market from scratch is too low. He is not interested, but Yu Lin has channels and is in the field of electronic products. He can distribute the products quickly. It is a good choice to cooperate with him.
Of course, the situation now is very different from the two times when Yu Lin invited him to partner in a trading company.
Zhang Yunqi and Yu Lin made an appointment and went to Xinglong Electronic Digital City with the distribution contract signed with Duan Yongping and a Subor learning machine.
Yu Lin was already waiting for Zhang Yunqi in the store. When he saw him coming in with a paper box labeled "Subor Learning Machine", he immediately asked, "A new gadget from the coast?"
Zhang Yunqi put the Subor learning machine on the counter: "I guess so. Are you interested in playing a few games?"
Yu Lin asked: "Isn't this a learning machine? How do I play it?"
Zhang Yunqi opened the paper box and took out the keyboard, mouse, game controller and free cartridges. Then he connected it to the 24-inch color TV, selected a "Contra" game cartridge, and started playing.
The game "Contra" is a single-player scrolling shooting game launched by Konami in 1987. The background story is adapted from the famous horror film "Alien". It is as famous as "Super Mario" and has influenced almost an entire generation of gamers in the s. It is synonymous with electronic games in the FC era.
Yu Lin was selling game consoles and was very familiar with this stuff. He watched Zhang Yunqi skillfully manipulate the game controller, and a little red man jumped around on the TV screen, firing bullets, very calmly. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "You have such good grades, you are also good at making money, and you are so good at playing games. I guess you are very popular among the little girls in school, right?"
Zhang Yunqi lit a cigarette and said, "Boss Yu, I think you are focusing on the wrong thing, right?"
Yu Lin leaned on the counter next to him and laughed, "Isn't this just an improved version of the FC red and white machine? How come it becomes a learning machine by adding a mouse and keyboard?"
At this point, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The person who developed this thing is definitely a genius and a profiteer. He is doing the work of a game console, but using the slogan of a learning machine."
Zhang Yunqi put down the game controller and said, "You finally got to the point, but it's not as exaggerated as you said. In fact, this Subor learning machine has three main selling points. The first is that it has some simple learning functions. The second is that it has some simple computer functions, such as practicing Chinese character input and text editing. However, a computer costs tens of thousands of yuan, while this thing only costs a few hundred yuan. The third and most important function is, as you said, although this Subor learning machine is called a learning machine, its core is still a game console. It is directly compatible with all the game cards on the Famicom."
At this point, Zhang Yunqi looked at Yu Lin and said, "How is it? Boss Yu, what is the market prospect of this thing?"
