Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Commencing on the 15th of April, a month after the Little Star learning machine’s official market launch, Xing Hai Technologies’ logistic department started to receive one thing after another.

Bright red banners! They were letters of appreciation either written or printed on paper! They were from all over the country. The titles were in general “By XXX parent” and “Parent of XXX.” The content of the letters was more or less the same. The contents commonly written on the banners were:

“Best learning device”

“Thank you Little Star learning machine for getting my son to the top spot in class”

“Trustworthy company, trustworthy product”

“Very grateful! Hands down grateful!”

“My daughter got first place in her school, thank you Little Star learning machine”

The logistic department of Xing Hai Technologies was not receiving banners as such in units, they were receiving it in batches!

“18th of April, the logistic department received 13 banners from parents, 56 appreciation calls, and 24 letters of appreciation. 22nd of April received 146 banners from parents and 77 letters of appreciation. 26th of April received 787 banners from parents and 951 letters of appreciation. 6th of May received 5,264 banners from parents and 5,011 letters of appreciation. 10th of May, the logistic department warehouse is overwhelmed. There were over 80 thousand banners and 10 thousand letters in storage. The warehouse can no longer hold more banners and letters of appreciation. But, to express their appreciation, parents are hanging banners in the staff office. Currently, all the walls in the office area are covered by banners. This is not the end, there are still a lot more banners and letters currently on their way to the logistics department. Our company’s customer service phone has been completely overpowered. It is imperative for us to halt the service for short-term maintenance.” The person in charge of the logistics department was constantly updating the most recent situation.

On fire. The Little Star learning machine was completely on fire. Within just a short one to two-month period, its formidable guiding abilities had produced many top students both in class and the whole school across various primary schools of different sizes throughout the nation. On the forums online and friend circles, product reviews from the parents were causing a sensation.

“I’m just a regular Math teacher in primary school with over 20 years of teaching experience and have taught innumerable children. But it was my own son’s academic results that made me utterly disappointed. I often questioned if he was really my biological son, because how could he be so dumb and stupid? Sometimes, I get so mad that I wanted to splice his head in two and see what’s actually inside. He was always the first and second in class counted backwards. Looking at his result transcript, I have already felt despair for innumerable times, until I bought a Little Star learning machine...”

“Hello, do you guys still remember me? I was the one that got so angry when I was teaching my son to do his homework until I had to do a heart bypass surgery. The doctor told me that I cannot get angry anymore, meaning that I can’t guide my son to do his homework anymore. So, I listened to my doctor and accepted the fate that my child will always be at the rock-bottom in class. Yes, I gave up. I let him learn whatever way he wanted to. What’s the big deal of him becoming a normal person in the future? But have I really given up completely? The Little Star learning machine gave me the last glimpse of hope...”

“My son has congenital mental retardation. His IQ is only 65, classified as a person with mild mental weakness. He is 13 this year and still in primary three. The teachers in his school advised me to transfer him to a school for the disabled because they say it’s impossible for him to graduate from primary school. But my child is a normal child! He can eat like a normal person, go to school like a normal person, interact with others like a normal person and besides, he is also a very sensible person. Everybody praised him for being very well-mannered and helping me in doing house chores without being told to. I love my son dearly. I do not wish for him to grow up in an environment filled with discrimination. I do not want him to attend a school for the disabled! I want him to grow up normally, happily, and carefreely. But his school gave out the last warning. If he failed again in this semester’s final exams, he would be forced to withdraw. It was useless no matter how I pleaded with them. On that night, he came to my bed and said, ‘Mom, I should just go to a school for the disabled, I don’t want to cause more trouble to them’... I hugged him and cried all night. My poor child, you are not mentally retarded, you just have some learning disabilities! Until one day, a parent introduced me to the Little Star learning machine and told me many of its functions. She said that it’s very handy, just a little pricey. My family’s financial situation is not that good, in spite of that, I still bought a Little Star learning machine behind his father’s back. After my child started using the Little Star learning machine, a miracle happened. My son said that he could understand, many pieces of knowledge had gotten into him. In the final exams in April, he got 78 in Mathematics, 66 in Language... not only did he pass for the first time, he even achieved a high mark in Mathematics! His father and I were so glad that we couldn’t sleep for a whole night. My child can be saved! He has proven himself to be a normal person! Thank you Xing Hai Technologies, thank you Little Star learning machine!”

...

On the internet, stories of success by numerous parents were frantically spreading like a virus. Some netizens were questioning whether people were hired to do so. Was Xing Hai Technologies playing with the brainwashing marketing strategy or compassion marketing strategy? Would they, for the sake of money, throw away their bottom line and create stories in exchange for the sales of the Little Star leaning machine? The voices of doubt were in abundance, evolving into a bunch of professional “Xing Hai Defamers,” where they swore to expose the true colors of Xing Hai Technologies. But those voices were very weak compared to the overwhelming reviews by parents.

After all, people could say that it was fake if there were only 10 or less stories of success. But what about having 100 thousand or 500 thousand of them? In some of the posts, information about the school name, class, or even the students themselves were provided. There were also many before-after comparison pictures of result transcripts. Did that at least prove that a portion of the stories were true?

It was on fire. The Little Star earning machine was trending throughout the whole nation and raised a furor in countless primary schools. Many primary schoolers told their own parents, “Dad, mom, I want a Little Star learning machine!” Countless parents were delighted to see their children after using the Little Star learning machine. Even if it was not as exaggerated as written in some articles, the improvements were definitely significant.

Especially for the rankings on the “List of Scholars”, the competition was downright harsh. People were becoming afraid that they would fall behind others. They also wanted to catch up to those who were clearly in the lead! For some super scholars, in order to establish a bigger lead, they started learning from the higher knowledge checkpoints ahead of time, widening their gap with others, not giving anyone any chance to catch up to them.

If it wasn’t that the knowledge on the Tree of knowledge was capped at primary six, some of the super scholars would have started challenging knowledge checkpoints of the junior high level. And so, it went wild. Sales went crazy. After the Little Star learning machine was spread by word of mouth, within 10 days of the WeChat Business Model being established, all three million Little Star learning machines were completely sold out, including the two million units sold online. All five million units were sold, and stock supplies were completely broken.

At that time, just when the market demand for the Little Star learning machine was at its fanatical peak, it actually went out of stock.

“10 thousand, who can sell me a Little Star learning machine?”

“20 thousand, I’ll pay 20 thousand!”

“30 thousand! My kid is almost going to primary school, desperately need a Little Star learning machine! I’ll pay 30 thousand!”

“50 thousand! Anyone, please give me a Little Star learning machine! I’m begging on my knees!”

...

Looking at the scene in the WeChat groups with parents increasing their bids frantically, desperately trying to buy a little star learning machine, Zhao Tiezhu, who had a bloated face, rough behavior, and was wearing a large golden chain in front of his chest, stuck his head near the screen as his eyes became red. Suddenly, he spat out the cigarette in his mouth and bashed the table with his fist! Then, he bashed on his own chest!

“Xing Hai Technologies, you f**king playing cruel with me, eh! Zhao Tiezhu, are you f**king blind, why didn’t you pile a few hundred or even more than a thousand units? Money, all of that f**king cash, all my millions, they are all gone! All of them! Zhao Tiezhu, listen carefully, next time, no matter what Xing Hai Technologies comes up with, even a pile of dung, buy them, buy them as if it is your life, buy as many as you can!”

Zhao Tiezhu was a professional scalper. He earned millions over the past year selling Wa-wah robots. But this time, he miscalculated. He felt remorse, even hoping that the heavens would kill him with a bolt of lightning and return him to the night where the Little Star learning machine was released. Unfortunately, there was no such thing as a regret potion in this world, he could only learn from his painful lesson this time around. Concluding his experience, never would he allow any opportunity to slip away ever again!
