He didn't know if it was because of Dreamscape's appearance, but when the new batch of pocket electronic pet machines arrived in the afternoon, the speed of sales was even faster than in the morning. In less than two hours, the second batch of 1000 units were all sold out, and Kentaro was the first to sell out.
But fortunately, Lewis was much smarter this time. He had discovered the amazing potential of the Pocket Electronic Pet Machines, so in the second batch of Pocket Electronic Pet Machines, he actually bought 10000 units in one go.
It turned out that Lewis's decision was extremely wise, because after 5: 00 in the afternoon, when other grocery store owners called the Daqian to place orders, the Daqian said that all the units had been sold out, and they would need to wait for three days to transfer more units from the warehouse. In the whole of New York, only Lewis's store still had 10,000 units in stock.
At this moment, in the office of the Daqian Puzzle Store in Fusang, Jack Orlens and Henry Orlens were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, and they were about to collapse.
It was not that there was any problem with the sales, but because the sales were too good, these two people felt that they were about to collapse.
"I asked you to buy more units, but you said that 20 million units were enough. Now, 15 million units were all sold out in one day, and there are only 5 million units left in the warehouse, but there are at least 10 million orders in the country. What do you think we should do?" Jack Orlens threw a tantrum at his father. Henry Orlens could only smile awkwardly, because he had indeed tricked his son in this matter.
When they were ordering from the head office, Boss Jia asked them how many units they should prepare for the first batch.
Jack Orlens thought that they should prepare 30 million units, but Henry Orlens thought that 10 million units was enough. Later, after the argument between the father and son, they decided to take a step back and buy 20 million units.
Unexpectedly, in just one day, 15 million units of the 20 million Pocket Electronic Pet Machines were sold out. Such an amazing sales volume naturally scared the father and son out of their wits. There were only 5 million units left in the warehouse, and these 5 million units would all be sold out tomorrow morning.
Therefore, Jack Orlens quickly vented his anger on his father.
Facing his son's temper, his father could only smile awkwardly.
"I don't know either. I estimate that the sales of the Pokemon game cartridges are around 30 million. The first month's sales are only a few million, so 10 million units should be enough!"
"After all, our branch company and the head office have separate accounts. When we take the goods, we have to pay the head office. If we can't sell them in a short time, our performance will be very bad!" Henry Olens said with a bitter smile.
"Sigh, I've already said that we're selling them too cheaply. The price of 9 USD per unit is 15 USD cheaper than the game cartridges. Of course, the sales will be crazy. It's normal for one person to buy a dozen units!"
"Forget it, Dad. There's nothing to talk about. Let's think of a way to solve the problem!"
"Have you called the head office to ask for the goods?" Henry Olens asked.
"Yes, but the head office said that the global sales are crazy. Today, more than 6 million units were sold in Europe, more than 10 million units were sold in Fusang, more than 1 million units were sold in Hua Xia, and more than 1 million units were sold in South America. I'm afraid that in this world, except for Africa, there's no continent that doesn't have millions of units sold!"
"The head office has a total of 60 million units in stock. Now, they have basically been distributed to all parts of the world. Now, the head office has started to work overtime to produce the machines, but it will take at least a week for the second batch of goods to be delivered by air. Moreover, they can only distribute 3 million units to us. I have no other choice! "Jack Orlens said helplessly.
"Then, can we ask the head office to set up a production company in the United States? We can produce it ourselves!" Henry Olens rolled his eyes and showed a cunning expression.
"Dad, don't think about it. We can't make this thing!" Jack Orlens said helplessly.
"Why?"
"Because we will lose money if we make it!" Jack Orlens sighed and said, "The price we buy from the head office is 5 US dollars per unit. If we include the tax, it's about 6 US dollars per unit. We sell it to the distributor at 8 US dollars, so our profit is still 2 US dollars."
"But if we build a factory in the United States, even if we don't mention the cost of the workers, the cost of the materials alone will be more than 20 US dollars. If we include the labor cost of the workers and the construction cost of the factory, the total cost of each machine will soar to about 25 US dollars! It's about five times the cost of importing from the head office! "
"So, we can only import from the head office. If we build a factory ourselves, it's a dead end. There's no way to survive!" Jack Orlens shook his head.
"What the hell? I've been working in Hua Xia for so long. Why didn't I know that the Hua Xia people could reduce the cost to such an extent!" Henry Olens exclaimed in disbelief.
"Yes, the Hua Xia people are really scary. If one day in the future, Hua Xia products can enter the United States without any hindrance, then the manufacturing industry in the United States will be hit to the extreme!" Jack Orlens said with great foresight.

"Boss, this is the sales report from all over the world. We have more than 60 million Pocket Electronic Pet Machines in the world, and we have achieved 40 million sales in one day. This is really crazy!" In Boss Jia's office, Boss Jia's new secretary, Xiao Chen, excitedly reported to Boss Jia.
"Yes!" Boss Jia nodded. This secretary Xiao Chen was good at everything. He was also a top student from Harvard University in the United States. His English was much better than Boss Jia's. It was a pity that he was a man. As a result, the small lounge in his office had not been used for a long time.
Unfortunately, this secretary was personally hired by Zhu Qiushui. Considering that the child in Zhu Qiushui's stomach was already three months old, Boss Jia decided to bear with it. He would not make Zhu Qiushui angry during this period of time. In any case, he would wait until the child was born.
"Now, how is the production of the Daqian Puzzle Intelligence production base?" Boss Jia asked again.
"Boss, the base has stopped the production of the Primary School Tyrant learning machine. They have started to work in three shifts. The machines are not stopped for a moment. They are fully focused on the production of the Pocket Electronic Pet Machines. I heard that even two production lines have been broken. More than ten burner phones have been broken!"
"But with this, our daily production has reached 800,000 units. This should be the peak production of the entire factory!" the secretary said.
"Sigh, 800,000 units a day. That's only 8 million units for ten days. It seems that the 60 million units will be sold out tomorrow. The total market demand will be at least 150 million units … This is crazy. I thought that 60 million units could be sold out in at least half a month. We still have half a month to speed up the production!"
This time, even Boss Jia had miscalculated. In fact, the Pocket Electronic Pet Machines had been mass-produced since October. It had been four months since then.
If Boss Jia had been fully focused on the production and directly pushed the production to the peak of 800,000 units a day, then in four months, he could have accumulated a stock of 96 million units.
However, the problem was that Boss Jia estimated that the sales of the machines would not exceed 60 million units in the first month. After all, the Pokemon game cartridges took more than half a year to sell more than 30 million units.
Boss Jia estimated that 60 million units would be sold in a month. This was already a very bold bet.
However, Boss Jia would never have thought that the actual sales would be so horrifying. It was so horrifying that the Daqian production base could not handle it.
He did not expect that selling well would be so painful.
"Sigh, don't you have any good news to tell me?" After the headache, Boss Jia looked at his secretary and asked.
"Good news … Let me think … Oh right, Chief Engineer Ni said that if you have time, you can go to his place to take a look. He seems to have a surprise for you!"
