On the Internet, there was a lot of debate about the "1,000 units in stock" meme, and all kinds of dissatisfied comments could be seen everywhere.
"I've seen a lot of hunger marketing, but this is the first time I've seen someone do it so blatantly!"
"That's right. Other people prepare tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of units for hunger marketing, but this company only prepared a thousand units and then snatched them all at the press conference to create the illusion that 'our mobile phone is very popular'. It's all a trick!"
"Even the press conference was probably set up by someone, right?"
"It's not just the people at the press conference. I think the media reviewers were also paid!"
"The manufacturer can pre-order the cell phones to the scalpers in advance and hype up the 'sold out on the spot'. Then, the scalpers will work together to raise the price of the cell phones, and the plan will work! Let's work together to fool fools, and the manufacturers and the scalpers will profit together! "
"Yellow Ox Sima!"
"Let's go, let's go. This phone is obviously not for sale. Please don't send me any more related information!"
"Just wait and see. This cell phone will definitely continue its hunger marketing in the future. It will only release a thousand units each time and then sell them out in seconds. This will create the illusion that this cell phone is very popular. Only then will it be able to maintain its high price. Once we open the supply, people will soon realize that this mobile phone is not worth the price. They will definitely collapse on the spot! "
"There should be a lot of people coming back to their senses by now, right?"
"Don't say that. I still believe in Tengda's reputation. What's more, Boss Chang has already said that he's making the best use of his time to stock up. He'll sell two thousand units tomorrow.
"Haha, two thousand? Hurry up and stock up? Prepare 2,000 units? Are you kidding me? And you say this isn't hunger marketing, huh? "
Pei Qian felt a surge of warmth in his heart when he read these comments.
Sure enough, the consumer's eyes were sharp, and there were still people who understood!
Hold on, you must hold on!
As long as you can maintain this precious questioning mentality until the end of the month, you will be my great benefactor!
"Buzz … Buzz …"
Just as he was anticipating, the phone on the table vibrated.
Pei Qian picked it up and saw that it was He Desheng.
"Hmm? Is it about the 'Top Student, Come Quick' app? "
Pei Qian quickly picked up the call.
He had already told He Desheng to spend the money the way he earned it!
Had he already spent it?
"Boss Pei, we've bought the 'Top Student, Come Quick' project! All the shares! " He Desheng was a little excited. "By the way, we found the original person-in-charge of Xude Education. There's no need to poach him. He's been fired!"
Pei Qian was stunned. It went so smoothly?
He bought it just like that?
If he remembered correctly, Xude Education had acquired 'Top Student, Come Quick' less than a month ago.
He Desheng must have spent a lot of money to buy it so quickly, right?
Pei Qian could not help but get excited. "How much did you spend?"
On the other end of the line, He Desheng said, "Boss Pei, I spent more than five million yuan!"
"?"
Why did it only cost 5 million?
Previously, when he sold those shares, he made a profit of 15 million, and that was under the circumstance that he did not continue to sell the last 20% of his shares.
In the end, he bought it back after using only one-third of it?
Moreover, was Xude Education crazy? Didn't they spend 40 million yuan on this project? Yet, they sold it for only 5 million yuan?
Can't you raise the price a little more? Huh?
Hearing Boss Pei's silence, He Desheng thought that Boss Pei was dissatisfied with the price and quickly explained.
"Boss Pei, actually, this price is already very low.
"After Xude Education acquired this project, they also organized some activities with great fanfare. For example, they forced their own students to register, sold lessons in the project, and so on. However, they were soon criticized, and their figures plummeted!
"What's more, this project could not be profitable at all. They were burning money every day!
"Many of Xude Education's higher-ups were extremely dissatisfied with this investment. There were conflicts between them to begin with. Thus, a few of them took the opportunity to make things difficult for the higher-ups who had facilitated this acquisition. That was how the project became abandoned …
"Without anyone to manage it, the project could no longer obtain any resources from Xude Education. It became worse by the day, and it became a terrible mess.
"To avoid incurring more losses, Xude Education decided to cut its losses. Coincidentally, we still have 20% of the shares, and we have the priority to buy it. That's why Xude Education approached me.
"Of course, they offered a high price at first, trying to fool me.
"However, how could I be fooled by them? I was the one in charge of this project from the beginning to the end, and I was very clear about the project's capabilities. With just a few words, I managed to make them speechless!
"At that time, they wanted to sell it to someone else. Thus, I hinted to them that I was very clear about the project's situation. As long as I leaked some information, they would not be able to sell it for a high price!
"Thus, after a few rounds of negotiations, they finally lost their patience. I slashed the price with my Dragon-Slaying Saber and sold it for five million yuan!
"I told them that this was the project's current value. If they delayed it any longer, they would lose five million yuan!
"If they had delayed it for a while longer, they could have sold it for a lower price. However, Boss Pei, you seemed to be in a hurry and didn't want to delay things. I felt that this price was about right, so I bought it back.
"Oh, that's right. The person-in-charge of this project from Xude Education was fired along with the higher-ups. I remembered that you said you wanted to poach him, so I contacted him and asked him to come over.
"You can meet him anytime if you want!
"That's about it. How is it, Boss Pei? Did I do a good job?"
Pei Qian was speechless on the other end of the line.
"You … did a really good job." Pei Qian gritted his teeth in melancholy.
He Desheng smiled embarrassedly on the other end of the line. "You're flattering me. Boss Pei, your thinking is clear. I followed your train of thought to achieve the results I have now!
"If you hadn't left the shares behind and instructed me to buy them back, I wouldn't have thought of this!"
Pei Qian, "…"
Alright, it's my fault again.
I've already bought it back. What else can I say?
Pei Qian felt melancholy for a while and said, "Ask the person-in-charge to come to Dream Realization Ventures at two in the afternoon. I want to meet him."
He Desheng, "Alright, no problem, Boss Pei!"
Pei Qian was very melancholic after hanging up.
He could not tell that He Desheng was quite good at haggling.
However, this was obviously Tengda Corporation's most useless skill!
However, since 'Top Student, Come Quick', a bottomless pit that could keep incurring losses, had been bought back, it seemed like he could burn the ten million yuan sooner or later.
Yes, it was better than not being able to buy it back even if he had the money!
…
At two in the afternoon, Pei Qian came to Dream Realization Ventures.
He Desheng and the person-in-charge were already waiting in the company.
"Hello, Boss Pei!
"Boss Pei, this is the person-in-charge of 'Top Student, Come Quick' in Xude Education. His name is Yu Pingan.
"This is Tengda's Boss Pei."
He Desheng introduced the two of them.
Pei Qian went up and grabbed Yu Pingan's hand. "Hello! You've worked hard! "
He looked like he was thirsting for talent.
Yu Pingan was flattered. "Boss Pei … I-I didn't work hard."
Pei Qian sized him up. He looked like an honest person, probably the passive type.
"Come, have a seat, have a seat.
"Let's get straight to the point. I still want you to continue to be in charge of 'Top Student, Come Quick'. I'll directly raise your salary according to Tengda's standards and give you various benefits. How about that?" Pei Qian's face was full of anticipation.
Yu Pingan was even more flattered. "Boss Pei … I-I won't let you down!"
Pei Qian nodded in satisfaction. "Yes, what exactly are you going to do?"
Yu Pingan thought for a moment. "The higher-ups in Xude Education are too stupid. They're messing around! Not only did they force registration, but they also added advertisements for all kinds of courses in the app, making the entire app a mess! "
"After I take over, I'll definitely cut off all these messy things, leaving nothing behind!
"I'll let 'Top Student, Come Quick' return to its original clean and tidy feeling and regain the trust of all users!"
Pei Qian did not say anything.
This Yu Pingan's attitude of desperately pushing the blame to others was not bad. However, the problem was that wouldn't the application return to its original state if he really 'de- Xude Education'?
If that doesn't work, wouldn't I have earned ten million yuan for nothing?
I have to maintain the current state; I can't mess around!
Pei Qian thought about it and said, "That's not appropriate.
"Keep this application the way it is. Don't cut off any of the existing content, understand?
"Of course, don't add new functions.
"Focus on stability in the early stages. At this time, it's better to stay put."
Yu Pingan was stunned and subconsciously looked at He Desheng beside him.
He Desheng frowned and said in a low voice, "Why are you looking at me? On our side, no matter what Boss Pei says, you just have to follow his instructions. Think more and don't ask too many questions, understand? "
Yu Pingan quickly nodded. "Yes, yes. Boss Pei, I'll do as you say! "
Pei Qian nodded in satisfaction. Yes, it looked like this Yu Pingan was honest and had a good attitude. He might become the next Lu Mingliang after some training.
It would be perfect if he could obediently carry out the tasks that he had given to him, and at the same time, lose some money mischievously!
"Alright, that's all for now." Pei Qian stood up and prepared to leave.
He Desheng quickly said, "Boss Pei, there's one more thing!
"There's less than ten million yuan in the company's account now. What do you think about this money …?"
Pei Qian: "…"
He had intended to use all this money to buy 'Top Student, Come Quick', but He Desheng's Dragonslayer ended up with more than five million yuan.
The rest of the money was still lying in Dream Realization Ventures' account. It seemed to be a bit shameful for an investment company.
Pei Qian felt a little melancholic.
Burn this money on 'Top Student, Come Quick'?
No, it wasn't easy to move this project to its original state. What if it caught fire again after burning for so long?
He could not act rashly until he was sure that this project could incur huge losses.
Take ten million yuan to stock up on cell phones?
It seemed like it could be considered, but he had to wait until tomorrow to see how the cell phones were selling. If the cell phones could not be sold, then he could consider stocking up. If they were sold out, then he definitely could not.
Pei Qian thought about it but could not think of a project that would definitely incur losses if he invested in it. He had no choice but to say, "Leave it for now. Remind me in two days."
He Desheng quickly nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei."
After sending Boss Pei off, He Desheng began to hand over work to Yu Pingan.
From today onwards, Yu Pingan would officially be in charge of the 'Top Student, Come Quick' application.
"Er, I have another question," Yu Pingan hesitated for a while before speaking.
He Desheng: "Eh? Go ahead. "
Yu Pingan deliberated over his words. "Boss Pei said that the existing functions of the application cannot be cut or added. We have to maintain the status quo … does that include the advertisement of Xude Education's original classes?"
He Desheng smiled. "What do you think? Since Boss Pei said to 'maintain the status quo', then we have to do everything possible to maintain the status quo. "
Yu Pingan looked troubled. "But … there are many advertisements for Xude Education's classes. It's definitely not appropriate for our application to advertise for them! What's more, Xude Education would definitely not allow us to use their content for publicity. If we continue to keep information related to Xude Education, there might be a risk of legal disputes. "
He Desheng pondered for a moment. "Yes, that's true. However, no matter what, we have to complete Boss Pei's task.
"Why don't … we keep these entrances and replace them with Tengda Corporation's other businesses? We can choose something related to the application and replace it with something related to the application.
"That shouldn't be considered cutting functions. We can fulfill Boss Pei's request and avoid legal risks at the same time. That's killing two birds with one stone."
Yu Pingan nodded. "Yes, I think so too! I'll do that, then! "
