Chapter 159 Overlord
On May 5, one month before Lianzhong was officially established, the distribution channels of Subor computer learning machines in Jiangchuan market were basically completed, and the planned distribution volume of two million was completed as scheduled.

After Children's Day, the market development work in the other three prefecture-level cities in the eastern part of southern Hunan Province was carried out in an orderly manner under the leadership of their respective marketing directors.

On the evening of May 5, after having dinner at his family's store, Zhang Yunqi accompanied his fifth child Zhang Xiaoxiao to play "Super Mario" on the Subor learning machine.

Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't learn anything from the Zhang family in terms of study, and was a weakling in front of her academically gifted brothers and sisters. But she had an unusually high talent for playing games, and she integrated into city life very quickly. Less than half a year after moving here, she could already speak a lot of Jiangchuan dialect with her classmates.

In the first month or so, Zhang Xiaoxiao still needed her big brother Zhang Yunfeng to pick her up from school. Now she walks home by herself, carrying the Nike backpack that Zhang Yunqi bought for her. There are always a few people who are going the same way or who she gets along well with, and she bosses them around along the way. Although she is young, she acts like a big sister.

But there was a reason for this. Before going to school every day, Zhang's mother would give Zhang Xiaoxiao 50 cents of pocket money, and Zhang Yunqi would give her 35 yuan every now and then. For a primary school student, this was a considerable amount of money, enough to buy many, many bags of Weilong. Of course, if Weilong existed in that era.

On weekends, Zhang Xiaoxiao likes to play with Chujian's younger sister Chuxin, because Chujian's mother Jiang Feng works at Zhangji Qifengdu Fish Meal Shop and Chuxin hasn't started school yet, so Jiang Feng often brings Chuxin to the fish meal shop. After a few visits, the extroverted and cheerful Zhang Xiaoxiao became familiar with Chuxin, who is about the same age as her.

Although Chu Xin's IQ develops slowly and she still can't speak much, she can already recognize people. Every time she is in the store, she follows Zhang Xiaoxiao around foolishly; every time Chu Jian sees this scene, she smiles with extra joy.

The weather is particularly hot in the evening between spring and summer.

Aunt Zhang sat at the door with a palm-leaf fan to enjoy the cool air. She had been busy all day, and only at this time could she sit at the door of the courtyard every afternoon to rest from the fatigue of the day, just like she did when she was in Yunxi Village. However, at this time, she no longer saw the endless fields under the dusk, and there was a little more dust and odor in the air she breathed. In front of her was the street with lights just coming on, the crowds of people, the noisy vendors, and all the students who were hurriedly walking and eating steamed buns, preparing to go to the classroom to study late into the night to prepare for the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination.

Zhang Ma couldn't help but turn her head to Zhang Yunqi who was playing Super Mario and said, "Third brother, Chunlan is going to take the high school entrance exam soon, right?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "Soon, next month."

Mother Zhang sighed and said, "This girl has been taking extra classes at school. We don't know what's going on. She doesn't tell us when something happens. I'm afraid she'll be stressed out and do poorly on the exam, and then she'll suffer."

Zhang Yunqi wanted to tell his mother: "Don't worry about this. Chunlan will surely beat the second place to Iceland and bring home the top scorer in the high school entrance examination."

But think about it and forget it.

When facing a major exam that changes their children's lives, parents may all feel the same way, worried and anxious as their children. If their children do poorly, they will suffer a lot, but if they do well, they will be more excited than their own children.

He still remembered the day when the high school entrance examination results were announced in his previous life. He took the report card and ran to his mother who was still planting rice in the field under the scorching sun. He told her that he was the top scorer in the high school entrance examination in Fengyang County. His mother excitedly threw the rice seedlings and said, "Come on, I'll make you braised pork!"

That was the only time he ate braised pork that whole year.

He still has some impression of the taste, but he can't taste it now. The same is true for everything. Once it's gone, it can never be found again.

Zhang Yunqi raised his hand to check the time. It was already 3.2: in the evening. He threw away the controller, turned on the color TV under the wall, and switched to CCTV-. The news broadcast had just ended. A series of product advertisements that were particularly famous in this era began to appear on the screen. The Qinchi Wine, which was about to win the bid at a sky-high price of million yuan and was famous throughout the country, was undoubtedly the top heavyweight player in this prime advertising time of CCTV. However, the protagonist tonight was not it, but the Subor computer learning machine.

The timing was very accurate, down to the second.

At 6:10 on June 19, Yanjing time, Zhang Yunqi’s “Clap Song” for the Subor computer learning machine that Duan Yongping had made in his previous life debuted. Several cute children about the same age as Zhang Xiaoxiao sang happily: “You clap one, I clap one, Subor has released a learning machine; you clap two, I clap two, learning and games are combined together… You clap four, I clap four, I guarantee you will be able to type in three days… You clap eight, I clap eight, a great introduction to computers; you clap nine, I clap nine, the 30st century is beckoning.”

The ad was over soon.

Zhang Yunqi was not impressed, but Zhang Xiaoxiao next to him was very surprised. She pointed at the TV screen and said with wide eyes: "Brother, this is the Subor learning machine we played with!"

Zhang Yunqi smiled and touched her little head: "Do you still remember the lyrics? If you can recite them to me word for word, I will take you to buy a puppet toy at the weekend."

Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded immediately and said, "I remember." Then she started singing on the spot: "You clap once, I clap once, Subor has released a learning machine, you clap twice, I clap twice, learning and playing together..."

Zhang Xiaoxiao's voice was soft and her singing was particularly beautiful. When she had sung two-thirds of the way without missing a word, Zhang Yunqi interrupted her with a smile: "Okay, this Saturday, you can pick any puppet toys on Ximen Street. You can buy as many as you can."

"Second brother, you are so nice." Zhang Xiaoxiao jumped up happily, and her soft body threw herself into Zhang Yunqi's arms, acting coquettishly and cutely. This little loli is very cunning and has the upper hand over her second brother.

However, Zhang's mother didn't like to spoil the youngest child. She sat beside her and nagged, "Don't always give in to her. She has lived in the city for less than half a year, and look how spoiled she is now. She skips meals and eats snacks. She also eats KFC every now and then, which costs 70 or 80 yuan each time. The toys at home now fill up half of the room. The clothes she bought are all famous brands, and each one costs hundreds of yuan. In the past, our family's annual expenses could not even cover one piece of clothing for you. Now, you can't pass any exam. Ouch! It hurts my heart to talk too much. Zhang Xiaoxiao, listen to me. If you fail the final exam again, I will send you back to Yunxi Village Primary School."

Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was so cheerful just now, instantly experienced what it meant to be in such a state of extremes. She pursed her lips, wanting to cry but not daring to, which made Zhang Yunqi laugh so hard.

He patted Zhang Xiaoxiao's head and said, "Go read a book. If you don't want to go back to Yunxi Village to raise pigs, you must work hard to pass the final exam."

When it comes to his children's education, Zhang Yunqi doesn't treat it the same way as his mother and other older generations.

There is some truth in raising sons in poverty and daughters in wealth. Of course, this wealth should be rational. It is a bit obsessive to raise a child with a willful and capricious character. Perhaps he had a daughter in his previous life, a beloved one, and his two younger sisters were both poor, so in this life, he must satisfy them as much as possible in terms of material things.

This is just a small matter. Today, Zhang Yunqi stayed here to play games with Zhang Xiaoxiao because he wanted to see the advertisement of Subor computer learning machine on CCTV for the first time.

Overall the effect is good. Although he himself didn't feel anything, even a poor student like Zhang Xiaoxiao could learn the "Clapping Song" from the Subor computer learning machine in just one go. No wonder this song in the previous life became the representative of new children's songs in this era when children's songs are scarce.

If nothing unexpected happens, he knows that after tonight, Subor computer learning machines will be popular all over the country, sweeping away all kinds of brands, with a market share approaching 80%, establishing its dominant position in the learning machine industry in one fell swoop.
