Lewis had indeed struck it rich. The Pocket Electronic Pet Machine went on sale at 8 in the morning. At the beginning of the sale, the children would choose their favorite Pokemon and buy one to raise at home. Occasionally, there would be a few rich children who would buy two, which made Lewis beam with joy.
Although each machine only had a profit of one dollar, according to the number of people in front of him, there might be more than 800 customers in the end. It wouldn't be a problem to sell 1000 Pocket Electronic Pet Machines in the shop on that day. In that case, he could earn 1000 dollars in profit just by selling the Pocket Electronic Pet Machines in a day. Was there anything better than this in the world?
But soon, Lewis realized that he was wrong. Because he was just a small shop owner, he didn't know how cheap 9 dollars was to some rich people. It was almost like picking it up for free.
For example, just now, the tenth customer that had been waiting in line for more than ten minutes after the store opened, a little kid who was already impatient said in one breath, "Boss, I want the machines for these Pokemon Pokemon, Mini Fire Dragon, Jenny Turtle, Pikachu, Pi Pi, Fatty, Six-tails, King Carp, and Mini Dragon!"
After the little kid finished speaking, he slapped a 100 dollar bill on the counter.
"You want so much?" Lewis was shocked.
"Not much. These are all my favorite Pokemon. I must buy them at home. Anyway, it's only 9 dollars each!" The little kid said with a smile.
"Okay! Okay! " Of course, Lewis wouldn't refuse. He lowered his head and began to look for the names the little kid had just mentioned.
It was just that Lewis had never played with Pokemon before, so he didn't remember the names of those Pokemon. However, the people of the Da Qian Empire gave him a list of Pokemon toys and names. Therefore, Lewis had to look at the list slowly to find different Pokemon.
This was also the reason why Lewis took more than 10 minutes to sell to more than 10 customers. It was really difficult to find these Pokemon.
"Hey, boss, why don't you let me look in the box myself? It's much faster than you looking for them yourself. You just have to watch me!" The little kid said impatiently.
"Okay, then you look for them yourself. They're only 9 dollars each anyway!" Lewis thought about it and realized that it made sense. Why did he have to look for it himself? Couldn't he just get this kid to do it for him?
In any case, the amount he ordered would be counted as money.
Sure enough, it was a wise move to let the children find it themselves. The little brat only used less than a minute to find all nine different electronic pets in the pocket, and then quickly paid the bill.
However, Little Wimp did not leave. Instead, he impatiently sat down nearby. At the same time, he muttered, "Please, give me a dream … Give me a dream …"
Then, the little brat hatched all nine electronic pets on the spot. Unfortunately, there wasn't a single Fantasy in the eggs. He could only sigh and carry his nine little elves home.
After that, Lewis learned his lesson and stopped looking for things himself. Instead, he let the children in the queue look for things themselves, while he stood at the door and collected the money.
This greatly increased the queue speed. Originally, they could only do one business per minute, but now, they could do two or even three business per minute.
Lewis originally thought that the kid who bought nine electronic pets in one go was just a coincidence.
However, he did not expect that in less than 10 minutes, an even more nouveau riche child came.
As soon as this kid opened his mouth, he asked for one of each type. He threw down $180 and bought all 20 types of electronic pets, one by one. His generosity shocked Lewis.
That was 180 dollars. He heard that he could buy a real GB game console that was on sale with that amount of money.
What was even more fantastical was yet to come. In less than an hour, Lewis saw eight children who bought more than eight electronic pets. Three of them bought one of each type of electronic pet.
One of the children did not even come in person. Instead, he sent his butler, a gentleman in a tuxedo, over. After the gentleman lined up obediently, he straightforwardly expressed that he wanted to buy one of each type of electronic pet.
It could not be helped. After all, the price of 9 dollars was too cheap. This price was not an unacceptable price for ordinary or even poor children.
However, for a middle-class family, this price was almost the same as picking it up from the ground.
It might be difficult for these children from middle-class families to spend 4,000 USD to buy 20 GB computers at one go. However, if they were asked to buy 20 Pocket Electronic Pet Machines at the price of one GB computer, they would still have an extra 19 USD. Of course, they wouldn't feel any pressure.
Therefore, in two hours, it was already noon. Lewis, who originally planned to sell all day, suddenly realized that his 1,000 Pocket Electronic Pet Machines were almost sold out.
In fact, some of the Pocket Electronic Pet Machines had already been sold out.
Yesterday, when the Daqian people came to deliver the goods, they asked Lewis how many different types of Pokemon he wanted to buy.
Because the payment was made after the goods were delivered, each store could only buy 1,000 units at most. Lewis did not know much about Pokemon. When he heard that there were 20 different types of Pokemon, he decided to equalize the prices and bought 50 of each type.
However, for a Pokemon player, the Yu Sanjia of each generation, which was the Wonderful Frog Seed, Jenny Turtle, and Charmander that were given for free at the beginning of the game, were very emotional.
In addition, there were also the pets of the main character Xiaozhi in the anime, such as the green caterpillar, and the cute singer Pang Ding. They were all children's favorite Pokemon. Therefore, 50 units were sold out very quickly.
Therefore, after waiting for an hour, two or three types of Pokemon machines had already been sold out. At 10 o 'clock in the morning, there were only 200 units left, and most of them were Pokemon that were not so popular. However, even so, these children who had waited in line for hours could not go home empty-handed. They could only reluctantly buy a Pocket Electronic Pet Machine that they did not like so much and go home.
At this time, Lewis already knew what he had to do. He immediately called Da Qian's people and asked them to send over a new pocket electronic pet machine. Moreover, he wanted them to send over some popular Pikachu and Yu Sanjia.
"How many units do you want this time? At least 1,000 units! We will not send less than 1,000 units. Also, we do not accept payment after purchase anymore, "the salesperson who answered the phone said busily.
"I want 10,000 units!" Lewis clenched his teeth and made the most important bet in his life!
