Five hundred thousand pre-sales in five minutes.
Seeing this number, Lu Baimin's blood pressure soared.
He hurriedly refreshed the interface. When he saw that the pre-sales option was still green, he didn't hesitate to hook all four service packages.
Including the service package for the elven maid, the price was close to 130,000.
Confirm, confirm ~
The mouse clicked.
Address selection?
Default address, confirm.
Do you want to select a specific delivery time?
Default, default, default ~
Confirm, confirm, confirm ~
Lu Baimin used the computer web version because he knew that the web version and the mobile app were two different servers.
The number of people using the computer web version was far less than mobile users, so it was easier to grab the pre-sales qualification.
Payment interface selection.
Debit card.
When it came to the last step of entering the password, Lu Baimin typed the password in less than a second and hit enter.
Payment has been confirmed.
Then there was an order reminder, reminding Lu Baimin that the elven maid product would be shipped in three days. It was expected to be delivered on the fourth day. Please keep your phone connected.
After repeatedly confirming that there was no problem with the order and looking at the delivery time of four days, Lu Baimin breathed a sigh of relief.
He got it.
Lying back in bed, Lu Baimin was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He simply logged into Monster Industries' official app and prepared to show off in the forum with his sockpuppet account.
What surprised Lu Baimin was that the official app didn't lag either.
He clicked on the app store. The pre-sales of the elven maid had become 530,000.
After struggling for less than five seconds, Lu Baimin used the mobile app to place another order. The system prompted that each person could only reserve one elven maid.
This was good. He could save a lot of money.
Lu Baimin logged into the forum, erased the key information on the elven maid order, and posted a post to show off for fun.
After the post was posted, Lu Baimin refreshed it a few seconds later.
In the end, not only did he not receive any praise, but he also couldn't find any trace of his post in the discussion section.
The discussion section was full of orders. Some people posted two or three units at a time, saying that not only did they buy them, but they also used their parents' identities to buy one for them.
Lu Baimin refreshed several times in a row. In just over ten seconds, there were more than 200 new posts.
After refreshing several times in a row, Lu Baimin stopped refreshing the posts and switched to the pre-sales page.
He wanted to see how many elven maids Monster Industries could pre-sell today.
Perhaps others didn't know the meaning behind the number of pre-sales of hundreds of thousands.
But Lu Baimin knew.
What did it mean to pre-sell 530,000 yuan in less than ten minutes?
This number might not be too shocking at first glance. A few years before the magic crystal mobile phone swept the mobile phone market.
Every Apple phone model would sell hundreds of thousands of units in China on the first day it was launched.
Worldwide, the daily sales easily exceeded one million.
However, a mobile phone was still a mobile phone. A mobile phone cost a few thousand yuan. It could not be compared to the elven maid's 120,000 yuan price.
Perhaps it would be easier to understand the meaning of the pre-sales volume by comparing it to cars.
Last year, the number of cars sold in Hua Xia was 25.31 million.
On average, there were only about 70,000 vehicles per day.
In other words, Monster Industries had sold 530,000 cars in less than 10 minutes. Not including the sales of service packages, their revenue was 63.6 billion yuan.
…
In fact, even Ye Qing was shocked by this number.
There are so many rich people in Hua Xia.
When the artificial intelligence program of the elven maid was thrown into the supercomputer for simulation training, Ye Qing was in the factory arranging for the mass production of elven maids.
He invested in many factories and transferred 60 sets of full-motion assembly platforms from various production lines and inventories.
With these 60 sets of full-motion assembly platforms as the foundation, a production center for a full set of automatic transmission systems was built. With sufficient parts, 100,000 elven maids could be produced at full capacity every day.
Now, the elven maid stock was 460,000 yuan. The pre-sales would last for three days. At that time, the stock would only be 800,000 units at most.
According to the previous sales department's estimate, the elven maid's pre-sales in the first three days were between 1.2 to 1.5 million yuan.
When the pre-sales ended, users would gradually receive the elven maid. When the reviews and word-of-mouth slowly fermented, the daily average sales would maintain between 60,000-80,000 yuan.
It was normal for the sales volume of the three-day pre-sales to be different from the daily average sales volume.
The elven maid was an epoch-making intelligent robot product, and it had the brand effect of Monster Industries as usual.
When it was first born, it would inevitably attract users' enthusiastic pursuit.
The media had been promoting Monster Industries since half a month ago when Monster Industries contracted the National Supercomputing Center. They had been advocating that Monster Industries was going to make big news.
The publicity effect was there.
The brand effect was there.
It was also an epoch-making intelligent robot. It was natural for the pre-sales to explode in the first three days.
But no matter how explosive it was, it couldn't have generated 63.6 billion yuan in ten minutes, right?
Ye Qing directly logged into the financial backend of Monster Industries from the holographic glasses and the cost accounting platform of the Dragon Creek Beach factory.
When it was refreshed, there was an additional 100 to 200 million yuan.
When it was refreshed again, there was another 100 to 200 million yuan …
Calculate the cost, calculate the cost ~
The cost of renting the supercomputing center for 15 days was 3.3 billion yuan, of which the elven maid accounted for 27%.
In order to build the production center for the elven maid, the factory spent nearly 300 million yuan on renovation and used 24 brand new full-motion assembly platforms that cost nearly 10 million yuan each.
At most, it was 600 million yuan.
Monster Industries organized online training for all employees. In addition, the cost of the offline service center's supporting maintenance facilities was less than 200 million yuan.
The cost of publicity …
The media and the people brought their own dry food to help publicize for half a month. The publicity cost of Monster Industries was equivalent to zero.
At most, the elves only had a total research and development and manufacturing cost of 1.7 billion yuan.
As for the cooperation with logistics companies, they were ready to launch brand new cloud cabinets that covered residential areas and communities all over the country. The total cost was as high as 10 billion yuan.
However, the cloud cabinets were an additional project. If everything went well, the investment cost would be recovered in one to one and a half years and enter the profitable stage.
In other words, Monster Industries recovered all the research and development and manufacturing costs in the first minute of the pre-sale of the elven maid.
The elven maid was priced at 120,000 yuan, and the production and packaging cost was 65,500 yuan.
The profit was 53,500 yuan. After deducting various taxes, and the transfer of sales, storage, and express logistics costs for delivery to customers, the net profit of each elven maid was about 30,000 yuan.
In less than ten minutes, the revenue was 63.6 billion yuan, and the estimated net profit was 14 billion yuan.
Half an hour later, the pre-sale of the elven maid exceeded one million yuan.
It was also at this time that the pre-sale figures began to slow down significantly.
An hour later, 1.22 million units were pre-sold.
By midnight, 1.63 million units were pre-sold.
At midnight the next day, the pre-sale of the elven maid was opened for 24 hours, and 1.89 million units were pre-sold.
232 billion yuan.
This was the result of the 24-hour pre-sale of the elven maid and the four service packages.
Among them, the pre-sale on the official website exceeded 50%, 27% in Tmall and 23% in Jingdong flagship stores.
The purchase of the elven maid was based on a real-name system, and each elven maid had a corresponding independent product number.
The pre-sale figures were clearly displayed on the elven maid's page. The delivery time of the scheduled products was scheduled to be 16 days later.
No one doubted that this number was inflated.
At this moment, not only Hua Xia, but almost the entire world's media outlets were reporting crazily.
