Luke shrugged. "It's just an old trick from the Shang family. This is the only time. Later, the wireless network and communications services will catch up. Even without this kind of promotion, a lot of people will still line up. "
In fact, Titanium phones only had eight stores in New York and Los Angeles. That was to say, there were only a thousand people in line in America, while there were more than ten million permanent residents in Los Angeles and New York.
In the future, most of the phone stores would be replaced by online pre-sales.
So, this really was just a small trick.
Luke had only told Jenny about some of Apple's marketing tactics back then; she was still in charge of how it was done.
In terms of business, he couldn't compare to Jenny's family's talent.
Suddenly, a paparazzi downstairs sensed something. He raised his camera and pressed the shutter in Luke and Selina's position.
Luke got up helplessly. "Let's go. These paparazzi are too sharp-eyed. They can even notice this. Isn't he afraid of getting cervical spondylosis?"
Selina got up with a smile, and the two of them disappeared into the darkness.
Downstairs, the reporter who had captured Luke and Selina's photos was trembling. He hid to the side and flipped through the digital photos he had just taken.
When he saw two indistinct silhouettes, he exclaimed softly, "Found them! A new superhero! "
This intern reporter, Eddie, had just graduated from college, and had been sent out to follow up on the "commercial flattery" of the Titanium phones.
Only newcomers like them would work overtime after work and stay up all night in order to obtain an official position.
Eddie was also a fanatic fan of superheroes.
He had heard a lot about Batman, and always dreamed of interviewing him one day.
But this kind of opportunity was too rare, so he was still asking around about other superheroes.
He felt that after the appearance of Batman and Iron Man, other superheroes might appear.
Relying on his nimble mind and his own efforts, he heard a lot about new superheroes from some low-level hooligans.
For example, Knee Breaker, who liked to beat up criminals, and a pair of mysterious superheroes who had just appeared a few days ago.
Eddie had even heard a little about the Ghost Butcher.
Of course, he didn't count the Ghost Butcher as a superhero; that was too much like a ghost story.
The superhero he liked couldn't be a ghost.
His young body was full of energy, his eyesight was excellent, and he had keen observation skills. He suddenly noticed two shadows on a six-story building not far away, and quickly snapped a picture.
Now, it turned out that he had done the right thing.
"Superhero couple!" he murmured. "This will definitely be big news."
However, this photo was not enough. He needed more information.
…
The next day, the sun rose as usual, and Los Angeles was still sunny. Luke and Selina went to work as usual.
In the lobby of the Major Crimes Division, Luke greeted Sonia, who was passing by. "Hey, did you buy a new phone?"
Sonia said bitterly, "I worked overtime last night. I didn't have time to line up for a phone."
Luke found that odd. "Can't we buy it today? It can't be that they're sold out, right? "
Sonia looked at him as if he was an idiot. "People are buying the 2G version at the price of the 1G version. Why should I pay the original price for the 2G version? I just want to wait for the next event before I buy it, can't I? "
Looking at her face, Luke suddenly said, "Don't tell me you didn't save enough money?"
Sonia turned around and left. "Go, go, go. I'm busy."
Luke was amused. Clearly, he was right.
That might be one of the reasons she hadn't bought a Titanium phone, but the bigger reason was that she didn't have enough money.
The detectives didn't have any extra food either!
Of course, if Sonia didn't ask, he couldn't offer to lend her money.
When it came to money, most Americans were very clear about it.
They wouldn't borrow money from their friends, nor would they lend money to their friends.
It was already benevolent of them to help their friends find a reliable finance company for a loan.
If Luke offered to lend Sonia money to buy a new phone, he would only be suspected of having ulterior motives.
Sonia was a great beauty. She had a magnificent chest, a firm lower body, and beautiful muscles.
A lot of people in the police department liked her, but she wasn't the type that Luke liked.
It would be a pain in the ass if she got any ideas.
Could he say, "You misunderstand, I actually admire your beauty!"
He would never do such a stupid thing.
After greeting his colleagues in the lobby, Luke and Selina went to Elsa's office.
After closing the door and sitting down, she said, "There's news from the boss. Several departments have started investigating them. The Elsworths are in big trouble. We should be fine."
Luke chuckled. "Then why do you look like that?"
Elsa glanced at Selina. Seeing that her expression was normal, she said, "You … didn't do anything in private, did you?"
Luke shrugged. "When Selina and I went to investigate a case, we ran into the state police looking for trouble. We didn't expose ourselves and ran away, so the investigation was suspended. Two days after we came back, Jennifer was attacked. I didn't have a chance to do anything anymore. "
Elsa was silent for a moment, before she nodded. "That's good. It's fine. You can go back to work. "
Luke and Selina got up and left.
After they left the police department, Selina asked casually, "Are you going to ignore those three stray cats?"
Luke said, "Let them calm down for a while so that they don't get too emotional when they meet."
He could imagine how the three girls would accuse him of "cursing" them when the "wizard" appeared in front of them — especially Stacy, who often had new bumps on her head.
After busying himself until noon, Luke suddenly received a call.
Hearing the ringtone, he immediately picked up. "Joseph, what's up?"
Joseph's low voice came from the other end. "Luke, think of a way to talk to grandpa. He's angry, very, very angry."
Luke pulled over and asked, "Who pissed him off on the ranch? Or did someone outside the ranch piss him off? "
"No. Grandpa specially brought me to Dallas to watch a racing show. You know Johnny, right? The man who can fly across a football field, "said Joseph quickly.
Luke said, "I saw his show when I was little. Back then, he was just jumping through fire rings."
"Yes, yes, yes, that's him. We watched him fly over six Blackhawk helicopters today. " Joseph quickly said, "After lunch, grandpa said he was going to visit an old friend, and then he took me back to Shackelford. But he's been on the phone nonstop ever since he came back, and he even said something about shooting whoever dared to touch his old friend. "
Luke frowned. "Was he just saying that out of anger?"
"I think grandpa might really want to shoot someone," Joseph said in a low voice. Joseph said in a low voice, "Ferreira is also here for business this time. Grandpa just called him to ask Ferreira to bring me back."
