Pei Qian let out a long sigh.
Damn scalpers, why can't I kill them all!
How hateful!
Firstly, he hated these scalpers for buying up all the inventory of the smart fitness drying rack, so that gamers who really wanted to play could not buy it. Secondly, he hated the scalpers for quickly exhausting the inventory, causing Tengda to inexplicably gain a huge sum of money …
Pei Qian thought for a long time and finally said helplessly, "Let's deal with it according to the previous method. Try your best to stock up. In short, we can't let the scalpers profit!"
Chang You immediately nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei. I'll arrange it now. However … the production of the smart fitness drying rack will take some time. It's inevitable that it will be out of stock for a week or two. Should we appease the gamers? "
Pei Qian thought for a moment. "How about this? Make a reservation on the website. Give gamers a discount according to the waiting time after they order. As long as gamers believe that they will be able to buy it sooner or later, they will not buy it from the scalpers, right? "
"It's our mistake not to be wary of the scalpers. There's nothing wrong with giving the customers some compensation, right?"
Pei Qian's last sentence was obviously to test the System's attitude.
Logically speaking, the current price of the smart fitness drying rack was already relatively low. There was not much profit margin to begin with. He had to have a reason to convince the System if he wanted to reduce the price further.
Pei Qian could use the excuse of 'attacking the scalpers and compensating the customers' to give a discount. Wouldn't that reduce the profit margin?
It could be considered a blessing in disguise.
…
After hanging up, Chang You immediately urged his subordinates to communicate with the factory and prepare the goods.
He did not expect that he would still be unable to escape the fate of being a 'monkey' after leaving the cell phone department.
In the end, his subordinates came looking for him just as he finished arranging the work.
"Boss Chang! Boss Chang, we've found the person who placed the two large orders. It's not a scalper! "
Chang You was stunned. "Oh? It's not a scalper? Then who is it? "
He was a little surprised.
If it was not a scalper, what did it mean to buy two thousand smart fitness drying racks at once?
The employee reported, "The two of them are Boss Yao of Jinding Technologies and Boss Pei's rich second-generation friend, Xue Zhebin. Boss Yao said that they bought the smart fitness drying rack purely because they heard that Tengda has been short on funds recently, so they did them a small favor. "
"There's no need to ship those equipment. Jinding Corporation has sports clothing and sports drinks under its banner. Therefore, we're going to organize a lucky draw and randomly give away a smart fitness drying rack. It can be considered an advertisement for ourselves."
"What do you think?"
Chang You raised his eyebrows slightly. "Oh? There's such a thing! "
"Of course!"
"I didn't expect Boss Pei's friend to lend a helping hand, not a scalper!"
"Is this Boss Pei's charisma?"
"He's beating around the bush; he's probably afraid that Boss Pei will reject him, right? How thoughtful of you. "
The employee added, "Those who bought dozens of units have already been shipped. The probability of them being scalpers is very high."
"But these orders are basically after the two big orders from Mr. Yao and Mr. Xue."
"Obviously, they saw that there are fewer smart fitness drying racks in our inventory and they are more popular. That's why they have the intention to stock up."
Chang You nodded slightly. He had the same judgment.
Obviously, the scalpers did not want to fry the smart fitness drying rack at first. After all, this thing was big, heavy, and took up a lot of space. What's more, there were more stocks.
However, after Yao Bo and Xue Zhebin bought four thousand units at once, the originally abundant inventory became tight. What's more, it created the illusion that the smart fitness drying rack was in high demand.
Thus, many scalpers could not sit still!
After all, this was one of the few Tengda Digital products that did not have any restrictions. The inventory was so tight. These scalpers wanted to hoard some and resell them to earn money.
This further exacerbated the shortage of the smart fitness drying rack, causing it to be sold out in advance.
Chang You said, "The original plan will not change. We still have to hurry up and stock up."
"As for those scalpers … they won't last long!"
…
At the same time, in a warehouse in Jingzhou, a few 'scalpers' were staring at Upwind Logistics' little brother unloading the goods.
"Just leave it here. There's no need to assemble it."
"Thank you, thank you!"
It had to be said that Upwind Logistics was really fast in Jingzhou. No matter how late the order was, it could be delivered the next day.
Dozens of smart fitness drying racks were shipped in a row and piled up in the scalpers' warehouse.
The little brother of Upwind Logistics had already determined the identities of these people. After all, they had bought so many pieces at once without opening or installing them. What else could they be other than scalpers?
However, the logistics brother did not say much. Their job was to deliver the goods to their doorstep. As for how to restrict scalpers, that was something the company's leaders had to consider. If there were no rules, they could only be treated as normal consumers.
After spending a lot of effort to unload all the smart fitness drying racks, the logistics brothers left one after another.
The scalpers looked at the smart fitness drying racks that were piled up into a small mountain as if they were looking at a gold mountain.
As professional scalpers, their usual job was to sell all kinds of products, including tickets and various digital products, and then sell them for money.
They were the ones who stood guard at the entrance to collect and sell tickets during the concert.
However, this was their first time dealing with such a huge item.
"Can this thing really make money? If we want to sell it out, we'll have to pay for logistics fees and installation costs. "One of the scalpers was obviously a little worried about this' investment '.
The leader of the scalpers smiled. "Don't worry, I've seen it clearly. This thing definitely has the potential to become the best financial product of the year!"
"Look at how popular 'Fitness Battle' is. Many live-streamers are recommending it. What's more, this smart fitness drying rack is selling too well. They said that there would be ten thousand units in stock, but I saw that more than four thousand units were sold in just two to three hours! "
"Think about it, how big of a demand gap is this!"
"Even if Tengda hurriedly prepares the goods, can they fill such a huge gap? Definitely not! "
"What's more, the profit of this thing is not high. Its actual value is definitely more than five thousand yuan. Those who can afford it would definitely not mind increasing the price by one or two thousand yuan. Let's not talk much about each of these dozens of units. If we earn a thousand yuan per unit, that would be tens of thousands of yuan! "
"We can earn more if we ask for a higher price!"
"The most important thing is that Tengda was negligent this time. They thought that ten thousand units would be enough, so they did not limit the purchase. In the past, we didn't have a chance to speculate on Tengda's cell phone. Now that we've finally caught it, shouldn't we take advantage of it? "
Another scalper swiped his cell phone and smiled. "Those online who didn't buy the smart fitness drying rack are scolding us again."
The leader of the scalpers laughed. "Doesn't that serve them right? Previously, no one wanted the smart fitness drying rack at all. They wouldn't buy it if they wanted to. Now that it's popular, they won't be able to buy it anymore. Can you blame us for that? "
The scalpers laughed one after another. Apparently, they were indifferent to the scolding on the Internet.
However, at that moment, the expression of the scalper who was looking at his cell phone changed. "What … what's going on?!"
"Big Brother, look, bad!"
The leader of the scalpers was stunned for a moment. He took the cell phone and realized that it was an announcement that Otto Technologies had just released.
The smart fitness drying rack would receive a rebate based on the difference between the date of the reservation and the actual date of arrival. The highest discount would be 200 yuan!
Chang You had mentioned this 200 yuan at the news conference. That was because the profits of the smart fitness drying rack were relatively low to begin with. Thus, the price would be reduced by 200 yuan. It would not be reduced any lower.
Once this reservation was opened, it meant that gamers had no reason to buy from other channels at a higher price. They only had to make a reservation on the official website and wait for the goods to arrive.
The longer they waited, the cheaper it would be. Who would buy it from the scalpers at a higher price?
The expression of the leader of the scalpers changed as well.
They had just placed an order yesterday, and Tengda's policy was already out today?
That was too fast!
However, he quickly calmed down. "It's alright, it's not a big problem. A discount of 200 yuan isn't much. What's more, the next batch of products would definitely be out in a week or two given Tengda's speed. "
"What's more, there will definitely be people who won't be able to buy the next batch of products."
"Let's hurry up and sell all these units within two weeks. We'll still be able to make a small profit!"
"Given the current market demand, it won't be a problem for them to eat these dozens of units. We won't lose out!"
However, before he could finish, the scalper beside him exclaimed again.
"Big Brother, look at this!"
The leader of the scalpers took the cell phone and realized that it was an announcement from Jinding Corporation.
This time, he could not remain calm.
"From today onwards, you will have a chance of winning the smart fitness drying rack if you buy the fitness drinks or sportswear under Jinding Corporation?!"
"500 units!"
"If you spend 8,000 yuan, you will receive a free smart fitness drying rack. The total number is 1,000 units!"
"You can also buy a fitness gift bag, a box of drinks, a set of close-fitting sportswear, and a smart fitness drying rack. The price is … 5,199 yuan?!"
"2,500 units. First come, first served?!"
All the scalpers present froze on the spot.
Jinding Corporation had provided three plans. The lucky ones would have a chance to win as long as they bought drinks or sportswear. If they were ballers, they would be given a gift if they spent 8,000 yuan.
If they were not rich and could not bear to spend 8,000 yuan to buy their things, there was still one last way. They could spend 5,199 yuan to buy it.
The original price of the smart fitness drying rack was 4,999 yuan. However, Jinding Corporation had given them a fitness gift bag. There was a box of drinks and a set of sportswear inside. Based on the original price, it was already much more than 200 yuan.
Most importantly, there were a total of 4,000 smart fitness drying racks that had to be stocked up!
The 4,000 drying racks were enough for a week or two.
By then, Tengda's next batch of goods would have arrived.
With Tengda's official reservation and Jinding Corporation's event, who would be stupid enough to buy the smart fitness drying rack from the scalpers at a high price?
They would definitely lose out!
Even if these scalpers could pay 5,199 yuan, they would still be at a loss because they would have to bear the costs of logistics and storage. What's more, it was impossible to sell 5,199 yuan!
If one machine lost two to three hundred yuan, these dozens of machines would lose at least ten to twenty thousand yuan!
It had only been a few minutes since the goods arrived, but they had already confirmed that they would lose out. It was not even overnight!
The scalpers looked at each other, their faces ashen.
They could not move Tengda's wool!
