In northern China's rural areas, the last three months of every year are often the marriage season for young people. Since the cold weather prevents work in the fields, rural Chinese parents often choose this time to arrange wedding for their children. Zhang Fu, a government employee in Bazhou county in Hebei province, is one of this season's grooms. He and his twin brother just moved into new houses and registered with their brides to marry. However, unlike their peers from previous years, the brothers decided against private weddings with family members and instead chose a group wedding. After buying two Lenovo all-in-one computers as wedding gifts, the twins were invited by Chinese computer maker Lenovo Group to participate in a group wedding held at a luxury villa. They also were offered huge discounts from the local wedding photographer. "I bought the computer for work and game use," Zhang said, and added that Lenovo offered him and others discounts they had arranged with the photographers. With the close of the National Day holiday sales season in big cities, people like Zhang in rural areas are becoming the new consumer target for companies like Lenovo. (Edit:Ruby) |
