Not to mention the shock caused by Monster Industries in the secret factory in the Grunalwald district.
The next day, the entrance of the Monster Industries flagship store across Friedrichstraße was lined up before dawn.
Unlike the crowd yesterday who wanted to visit the flagship store, the thousands of people lining up today only had one goal in mind.
To buy a magic crystal phone!
In the past twenty-four hours, the focus of public opinion in Germany seemed to be the magic crystal phone.
First of all, it was a company from Hua Xia. They had heard of Hua Xia countless times, but very few people really understood it. A few days ago, a technology company from Hua Xia wanted to erect thirty-one flagship stores in Germany in one day.
This was huge news in itself. They actually did it in front of everyone's eyes of disbelief.
Naturally, this product with a price as high as 1,400 euros, close to twice the price of an Apple phone, became the next focus of attention for Germans who lacked hot news.
They originally wanted to laugh at the phone, but they ended up being the joke themselves.
A century-old industrial country that boasted of standing at the top of modern technological civilization could be shocked by a small phone. It was like an African native sitting in a Rolls-Royce for the first time.
One day might not be enough for the lucky users of the magic crystal phone to understand all the functions of the phone, but it was enough for them to show off on the Internet.
For example, they could use the compound eye function to take a few photos.
The compound eye camera function was not just the ability to change the light. The image segmentation function could accurately segment an object in the scene, even if the color of the object was similar to the surrounding background.
Using this function to take photos, they could capture only one flower in a sea of flowers.
As for the infrared image, it was even more amazing. Once this function was turned on, the effect was comparable to a thermal imager. The hot air people exhaled in the cold air could be clearly seen on the phone screen. If it weren't for the fact that the thermal imaging was only effective at a distance of ten meters, it wouldn't be a problem to take the magic crystal phone to the battlefield.
When the full color function at night was turned on, the scene displayed on the screen was no different from the scene during the day.
Using this function to take selfies, people no longer had to worry about turning themselves into strange ghosts when they took selfies at night with the flash on. Fortunately, the full color function at night was also limited to a distance of ten meters. It also required the cooperation of the environment with faint light. It could be starlight, moonlight, or the distant lights of the city.
Overnight, the German internet was divided into two camps.
The boys were taking all kinds of cool pictures with their Magic Crystal phones, while the girls were absorbed in the beauty function. Lying on the bed, they adjusted the light to the afternoon of the Hawaiian coast. They turned on color synthesis and changed all the ordinary daily necessities around them into fairytale items that could only be found in fairytales.
They believed that with the magic crystal phone, they would own the whole world.
It was a pity …
There were 31 flagship stores in Germany. Excluding the phones that were only for display purposes and not for sale, there were only 150,000 units in stock. However, the 150,000 units in stock had already been sold out, and only about 50,000 units had reached the users.
The remaining one hundred thousand were stored away by the merchants who had a keen sense of smell.
After waiting in line for two or three hours in the cold temperature, they finally waited until the flagship store opened for business at eight o'clock in the morning.
"No … no more …" The staff stationed in the flagship store were embarrassed by the pairs of expectant eyes blocking the door. "All the magic crystal phones were sold out yesterday. If you don't mind, you can go to the second floor to see our other liquid printer product."
After waiting in line for several hours, the people who were numb from the cold almost exploded.
"Sorry, we are really out of stock."
"This … we can't promise the next batch of phones for the time being. But we are looking forward to it like everyone else, and we hope to get it as soon as possible. "
"It's not that we deliberately used the lack of stock as a marketing tool. Now even Hua Xia is out of stock. It is said that a magic crystal phone is priced at 20,000 RMB, which is 2,500 euros. "
Facing the angry doubts of the customers, the staff had to patiently explain slowly. After all, anyone who waited in the cold for a few hours would complain.
"How is that possible? Isn't your official price 1,400 euros? I heard on the Internet that Hua Xia sells it at a lower price than us. Who would spend more than 1,000 euros to buy a magic crystal phone a few days in advance? " Hearing that someone from Hua Xia was willing to spend 2,500 euros to buy a phone, the customers in front of the line didn't believe it and were a little unconvinced.
Two thousand five hundred euros was enough to buy a car.
Are the people from Hua Xia crazy? Are they willing to spend so much money to buy a phone?
… …
It was unknown whether the people from Hua Xia were crazy or not, but after a new day, the Monster Industries flagship stores in Germany, which were almost all over the city, were full of people. Consumers who didn't even see the shadow of a magic crystal phone were going crazy.
Is the magic crystal phone more popular than the Apple phone?
The Apple phone was only available in the first two days of the market, but as long as you waited patiently, you could always buy one.
Although the magic crystal phone was praised as a god on the Internet, it was expensive.
This made many people who lined up to buy the phone somewhat incomprehensible. They had made a great decision to buy the magic crystal phone. How could they only know after waiting in line that there were hundreds of thousands of people from all over the country who had made the same decision?
The next day, every time the magic crystal phone spent an advertising fee of one euro, it was constantly flooded on the Internet and traditional media throughout Europe.
For this phone, the media didn't need any more introduction. As long as they took pictures of its front and back, it was the most direct way to introduce it.
Because the magic crystal phone didn't have a camera, this broke everyone's understanding. People simply couldn't understand how the Monster Industries did it. On the Internet, there were even people who paid a lot of money to disassemble the magic crystal phone live, trying to understand its camera secrets.
This disassembly directly made countless young people realize the terrifying technological strength of the Monster Industries again.
In addition to the screen that broke the limit and the plasma battery protected by a special metal shell. These young people who paid attention to the Internet suddenly found that the camera secrets of this magic crystal phone came from hundreds of photosensitive module.
These photosensitive modules, each of which was only the size of the tip of a toothpick, were neatly arranged in the octagonal rule where the lens should have been. Under the high-power optical magnifying glass, the surface of each photosensitive unit was shining like a silver metal diamond. Hundreds of photosensitive units were gathered together, like the compound eyes of an insect with hundreds of thousands of eyes.
Above the photosensitive unit, there was a layer of special protective film that could change color. When the magic crystal phone turned on the camera function, this layer of protective film would automatically become a colorless transparent film, allowing the external image and light to be projected onto the photosensitive unit.
It turned out to be so, no wonder the magic crystal phone set the compound eye function name for it.
Subversion, the magic crystal phone completely subverted the mobile phone technology.
No matter how high the style of Apple's flagship version was, it couldn't be higher than the magic crystal phone. This was the difference between the Volkswagen Passat and the Lamborghini.
What to do if you can't buy the magic crystal phone in line?
Monster Industries could now only guarantee the supply of 1,000 phones per flagship store in Europe every day, although they finally introduced a limit of one per person. But the line outside was always more than 1,000 people, no matter day or night. Later, consumers didn't have the ability to line up for three to five days. For the time being, they just watched others play with the magic crystal phone.
The principle that the rarer something is, the more expensive it is!
But in the market economy dominated by the law of supply and demand, if someone was willing to pay, naturally someone would be willing to sell.
Finally, someone couldn't stand the torment and posted on the Internet, willing to pay 2,000 euros to buy a magic crystal phone.
No matter if it was in good packaging or after use.
The transaction was very happily reached. 2,000 euros could also buy a car. As long as they waited patiently for a month or two, the magic crystal phone would return to the state of being available whenever they bought it. If they could earn 600 euros more, of course, someone would do it!
If there was the first, there would naturally be the second.
The number of tycoons in this world was far more than ordinary people imagined.
So it didn't take long for these tycoons to find that no one was willing to sell their phones for 2,000 euros, because someone offered 2,200 euros.
2,500 euros!
2,800 euros!
On the third day, many lucky customers had taken the initiative to post on the Internet.
"3,000 euros for a magic crystal phone, invoice and packaging are complete. Those who are interested can come and pick it up, no delivery."
"3,300 euros for a magic crystal phone, unsealed."
At this time, it was even more impossible for ordinary consumers to line up to buy the phone, because there were already professionals who took queuing as a profession.
