Pei Qian sighed softly.
He had no choice. Between earning more money and attacking scalpers, he would choose the latter without hesitation.
What's more, the profits of the game router were not high. It did not matter if he sold more. He just had to make up for the profits earned elsewhere.
The failure of the game console made Pei Qian feel very disappointed.
Didn't they say that it was difficult to make a game console? Didn't they say that the number of manufacturers in the world who could understand the game console could be counted on one hand?
Could it be that Tengda was the manufacturer in that hand?
Pei Qian could not accept it at all.
However, it was useless to worry now that things had come to this. Tengda's game industry had already expanded from research and development to channels, from AAA games to independent games, and from software to hardware.
There was really no way out.
"Sigh, I hope the sales of the cell phone can give me some comfort."
"The foldable cell phone this time might have used Shenhua's plan, but Tengda also paid for it. If the sales are not good, we can still incur a small loss."
"It might not be as much as the loss of the game console, but it can at least be considered psychological comfort."
Pei Qian opened the webpage and took a look. Shenhua Corporation's foldable cell phone would be officially released in a few minutes.
The sale of Tengda Corporation's cell phone was deliberately delayed by an hour.
The reason was simple. They could not fight with Shenhua Corporation for the first time!
If Tengda was released early, there would definitely be some unlucky people who did not know the truth who would buy it. It would not be good to spend money for nothing.
After the first wave of demand was eaten up by Shenhua Corporation's cell phone, Tengda's cell phone sales naturally decreased.
What's more, Tengda's foldable cell phone used Shenhua Corporation's ready-made plan after all. It would not be right to snatch the first place. Pei Qian's actions were understandable.
Pei Qian first paid attention to the sales of Shenhua Corporation's foldable cell phone.
The moment the buy button lit up, Pei Qian silently began to calculate.
The ideal situation was, of course, to have enough stock until Tengda's cell phones were sold out. Shenhua Corporation would not be able to sell them out. That way, apart from a few die-hard fans, no one would come to Tengda Corporation to buy the same cell phone.
In the end, just as Pei Qian was distracted, he saw the buy page on the official website turn gray and sold out.
"Eh?"
"It's … sold out just like that?"
"It hasn't even been five minutes!"
Pei Qian was shocked. He quickly opened other channels, such as several major online shopping websites, only to find that all of them were sold out.
Only the buttons on some platforms lit up a few times. Perhaps some users who had locked their orders did not pay in time, causing some leftover goods to be released. However, they quickly returned to being sold out. Clearly, there were many users waiting to pick up the leftover goods.
Then, he looked at the comments online.
"Holy sh * t, how did Shenhua Corporation's cell phones sell out so quickly? This is a phone with a starting price of 18,000! "
"This is crazy! There are too many rich people!"
"This folding screen technology is really amazing. It's the only one in the world. What's more, Shenhua Corporation's technology in cell phones is indeed very good. They have many loyal fans and strong spending power. It's not surprising that they're sold out, right? "
"Damn it! I don't know how many of them were snatched away by scalpers using scripts. I knew that these scalpers wouldn't let go of anything that could be stirred up! If their own mothers can be hyped up, these people will definitely be the first to do so! "
"That's right, the scalpers are too despicable. I really want to buy this cell phone. In the end, I can't get it at all. "
"I took a look at the second-hand website. Someone has already put it up and increased the price by 3,000 yuan! F * ck, it's really too shady! "
"That's right, doesn't Otto Technologies still have a batch of goods?"
"Otto Technologies has also released a folding screen cell phone. I'm afraid it won't work. Only Shenhua Corporation's folding screen technology is more mature. The other manufacturers' folding screen effects are very poor."
"Otto Technologies's model is the same. They said at the news conference that it was exactly the same. They just added a beautiful cell phone case."
"What else are we talking about? Hurry up and snatch it. Snatching it is a profit. "
"We probably let the scalpers take advantage of us again. If we know to snatch it from Otto Technologies, the scalpers would definitely know too!"
"Scalpers? You don't know Tengda Corporation's rich experience in fighting with scalpers. Otto Technologies' cell phones are not that easy to snatch. There are a series of conditions. In short, let's try snatching it. We might not have a lot of stocks, but it would definitely be much fairer than here. "
A chill ran down Pei Qian's spine as he read these comments.
Something was wrong. Something was wrong.
He seemed to have seen countless customers waving banknotes. They swarmed from Shenhua Corporation's storefront to Tengda Corporation's storefront. Then, they waved the banknotes in their hands and forced them into his hands.
It was strange that Jiang Yuan had admitted very honestly at the news conference that this folding screen cell phone was the same as Shenhua Corporation's. There was no difference at all.
He had thought that this would be a deduction, but he had not expected it to become a huge plus. It had even become irrefutable evidence that Otto X1's cell phone had high technological content and high quality.
Pei Qian carefully opened the purchase page of Otto Technologies. As expected, the purchase button became sold out after only three minutes as the purchase began.
It was even faster than Shenhua Corporation.
Of course, Shenhua Corporation definitely had more stocks than Otto Technologies. However, Otto Technologies had a mechanism to prevent scalpers. Thus, it was hard to say which side was more embarrassing.
He could only say that they were in the same boat. They did not even last five minutes.
The phone on the table rang as Pei Qian was feeling sad.
The call was from Chang You.
Chang You sounded very excited. "Boss Pei, our cell phones and game consoles are selling like crazy!"
"I've already urged them to mass produce the main system as soon as possible. It's hard to say for the cell phone. It depends on Shenhua Corporation."
"However, I've communicated with Boss Lin. Boss Lin wants Shenhua Corporation to learn from Tengda Corporation's model and control the purchase mechanism to prevent scalpers from interfering."
"Apart from that, we're also trying our best to increase the production of cell phones. This product will sell for more than half a year without a problem!"
"Apart from that, Boss Pei, there's another piece of good news!"
Pei Qian could not help but be shocked. The previous news was bad enough. How could there be good news?
Chang You said excitedly, "Our first batch of custom-made cell phone cases have all been sold out!"
"I didn't have much hope before. I just sent some samples and cell phone cases to some UP Masters in the digital review area for review. I didn't expect them to praise our cell phone cases!"
"Especially some UP Masters who like to play cell phone games. They think that our cell phone cases are designed to take into account many scenarios. What's more, they are very recognizable when they hold them in their hands. That's why they strongly recommend them to our fans."
"Many people who bought folding screen cell phones from Shenhua Corporation also bought our cell phone cases and wanted to use them together."
"After all, Shenhua Corporation's folding screen cell phone is still not as recognizable when you hold it in your hand. However, if you add the cell phone case, it will be more recognizable."
"Boss Pei, your strategy is completely correct. For such a high-end digital product, technology is based on changing the shell. The appearance is the greatest advantage."
Pei Qian fell silent.
He realized that there was a huge problem with his strategy!
First, he had overestimated Shenhua Corporation's cell phones and underestimated consumer demand. The cell phones on Shenhua Corporation's side were sold out in less than five minutes. This meant that the market demand was obviously not satisfied. Many people could not wait to add one or two thousand yuan to buy from the scalpers. What was the premium on Otto Technologies?
As for the cell phone case, he was even more speechless. Would people who were willing to spend twenty thousand yuan on a cell phone care about spending five hundred yuan on a cell phone case?
If this cell phone case was an IQ tax, rich people would definitely not buy it since they were not stupid. However, what if this cell phone case was really worth the money?
For many people, buying the most cutting-edge digital products was either because they were fanatical digital enthusiasts who had to enjoy this new technology as soon as possible, or because they wanted to show off their face.
That was understandable. After all, there were many ways to show off one's face. There were branded clothes, branded bags, mechanical watches, and so on. Pei Qian had to admit that most people would have similar needs after they became financially rich even though he did not agree with this.
On the other hand, there was a huge problem with Shenhua Corporation's folding screen cell phone. It was not very recognizable.
Of course, it was very recognizable during the folding process. However, most of the time, it was folded and used in daily use. It was impossible for it to be unfolded all the time.
Once it was folded and held in one's hand, it would be no different from an ordinary cell phone.
It would be mature and stable if it was coupled with Shenhua Corporation's ancestral leather case, but the characteristics of being pretentious would be gone.
At that moment, he had spent 500 yuan to buy Otto Technologies' dedicated Cyberpunk protective shell. His level had gone up instantly!
Whether it was folded or unfolded, one could recognize at a glance that this was the latest folding screen cell phone with a cell phone case that cost up to five hundred yuan.
What's more, the cell phone case of Otto Technologies was indeed very useful.
On one hand, it was lighter than the protective case that Shenhua Corporation had given it because it had adopted hollowed out technology. The glass material and thermal conductivity layer allowed the cell phone to dissipate heat better. The design of the shell film provided better protection for the cell phone.
The design of the two buckles and bracket could meet the needs of watching dramas and games.
To many people, buying such an advanced cell phone was, of course, to watch dramas and play games. The advantage of the folding screen was that it took into account the large screen and portability. Wouldn't it be a waste if they did not use this large screen to play games and watch dramas?
This cell phone case could better meet such needs. In addition, the cyberpunk-style custom theme was so recognizable. Of course, it was very popular among young people.
Therefore, many people who bought a folding screen cell phone from Shenhua Corporation did not mind spending another five hundred yuan to buy another cell phone case from Otto Technologies.
Otto Technologies instantly became an awesome cell phone case manufacturer, and its sales were not bad!
Many cell phone case manufacturers on shopping websites were probably still wondering if Otto Technologies was shameless enough to lower themselves to snatch business from them.
It was ridiculous!
