March 13th, Sunday.
Once again, Pei Qian came to Otto Technologies to supervise the battle!
Although it seemed useless to supervise the battle, Pei Qian still felt that it would be more reliable to come and take a look.
Today was Sunday, but the sale of the cell phone was very important, so he had to work overtime. Of course, he would definitely pay for it.
For Chang You, the pressure was immense.
Boss Pei had come personally to show his respect for Otto Technologies.
The sales of E1 cell phones were very important.
However, it was impossible for them to sell out today!
Up until now, only 5,000 units had been reserved, and they had 9,000 units in stock.
Those consumers who had made reservations could pay within two to three days, so they definitely wouldn't be in a hurry to buy it.
As for the others, there was no need to rush because those who were really interested had already made reservations.
In short, today's mobile phone sales would not look good.
If Boss Pei got angry, the situation would become difficult to clean up.
But now that things had come to this, Chang You had no other choice. He could only bite the bullet and wait for the phone to go on sale.
At 10 am, the mobile phones were on sale again!
The sales figures of the mobile phones began to increase rapidly, but they soon slowed down. It was obvious that there was not enough momentum.
The more Pei Qian looked at the changing sales figures, the happier he became.
Not bad, the situation was exactly the same as what he had predicted. In fact, it was even better!
Many people wouldn't be so eager to buy it after paying a deposit. Moreover, there were more stocks this time, so the popularity couldn't be compared to the first two waves.
An hour later, the sales volume had just reached 4,100 units, and the growth rate was very slow.
Pei Qian felt that it was about time. Even if the remaining people who had made reservations remembered to pay in two hours, it would be difficult for the sales volume to exceed five thousand today.
He had easily achieved the goal of having 4,000 units in stock!
Chang You was very nervous when he saw Boss Pei stand up.
He also knew that there was no point in looking at today's sales anymore. He quickly said to Boss Pei, "Boss Pei, don't worry. I will continue to keep an eye on the cell phone sales and think of other ways! We will definitely solve the problem of overstocking! "
Chang You pondered. He had to quickly express his determination.
The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched. "Think of another way?"
I beg you, please don't!
The current situation was perfect. No one wanted the cell phones anymore, so they should stop tormenting them. Wouldn't it be better to just let them lie in the stock warehouse and grow old together?
Can you feel the pain of such a lovely phone being marketed here and there? No, you can't, you only care about yourself!
Pei Qian shook his head. "There's no problem with our marketing strategy. That's not your priority now. Don't spend time and energy on marketing."
"Your first task is still to increase production!"
"Take out all the money and stock up. I want to see fourteen thousand Otto cell phones in the warehouse by next Wednesday!"
Chang You's mouth opened slightly, and he was momentarily speechless.
Stocking up?
It couldn't be sold anymore!
Fourteen thousand units? We'll be lucky if we can sell the 4,000 units we have now. It won't be too late to stock up later!
Seeing Chang You in a daze, Pei Qian asked, "Can you do it?"
Chang You instantly reacted and hurriedly replied, "Yes! No problem! "
…
Pei Qian felt much better when he returned to his own residence.
The pressure of losing money for this cycle was greatly reduced!
Pei Qian had long discovered that the System's calculation of profits and losses was rather simple and crude. It only calculated the changes in the System Funds.
Converting money into physical or virtual assets would not be included in the System Funds' statistics. Only large amounts of real estate would be included, and only 10% would be included.
Pei Qian even wanted to move all the excess funds from other places to stock up on Otto cell phones.
However, he resisted the temptation because he knew that such behavior was risky and very risky.
Just like ROF Computer-Installation back then, a huge fire had caused all the inventory to be bought up, and he had lost everything …
It was the same now. If half of these cell phones were sold for some inexplicable reason, Pei Qian would have hoarded them for nothing.
Therefore, he planned to wait and see. He would continue to stock up when he was sure that the cell phones were absolutely safe.
The first thing Pei Qian did after returning to his residence was to open Gou Yan application to check the box office of Flying Star Journey.
First place, Flying Star Journey, box office as of noon. Second place, The Chaser, box office as of noon. Third place, Tomorrow is Beautiful, box office as of noon. Three question marks floated above Pei Qian's head, and his heart turned cold.
This situation was not right!
The box office of Flying Star Journey should be around 32 million yuan today. It was much higher than yesterday, but it was still in line with Gou Yan application's box office expectations and even slightly lower.
In other words, this film would probably get around 300 million yuan in the domestic box office, and it would be in RMB …
Gou Yan application very strongly proved to Pei Qian that its prediction was very correct.
However, it was Pei Qian's turn to be puzzled.
It was supposed to be a big production, but this was too f * cking weak, right?
If this was the box office performance, the film would lose all its money. The global box office loss would be four to five hundred million US dollars!
"I'm so envious!
"Ai, forget it, it has nothing to do with me.
"I don't care how much you lose, just help me suppress the box office of Tomorrow is Beautiful!"
Pei Qian's expectations for 'Flying Star Journey' were naturally lowered, seeing that it could not be helped anymore.
He had originally hoped that it could squeeze out all the showtimes and box office during this period, but it seemed impossible now.
Pei Qian became even angrier when he looked at The Chaser again.
"What's going on with you?
"It's only the third day of screening, and the box office has already fallen so low? Isn't it a big production?
"I'm so disappointed!"
He looked at Tomorrow is Beautiful again. The box office was even better than yesterday and was rising against the trend!
It looked like it was about to defeat The Chaser and return to second place.
Pei Qian was speechless.
"There's a problem, there's definitely a problem!
"Even if Flying Star Journey sucks, it is still an American blockbuster on the second day of screening. How can the box office of Tomorrow is Beautiful increase? This is not scientific at all!"
There must be a reason for this abnormality. Pei Qian quickly scrolled through the discussions on various film forums and websites, wanting to find out the truth!
Finally, Pei Qian found the answer in a film review of Flying Star Journey.
'Flying Star Journey: Feeling Damp Melon Seeds'
"I heard that this film invested 170 million yuan. It was adapted from a famous work and gathered stars. Before it was released, it was crazily trying to scam a series of foreign sci-fi IPs. I also went to buy the tickets excitedly, but I only had one feeling after watching it: it felt very magical!
"The original work has been around for a full 100 years. I don't deny that the original work is indeed a classic, but to look at sci-fi from 100 years ago from the perspective of modern people, it has already changed over time. "If this film was made 20 or 30 years ago, I don't deny that it would be a classic in film history. However, it's already 2011, Big Brother! We already watched Avatar the year before last, and you're showing us this now?
"The protagonist transmigrated to a planet where there are two groups of aliens who look like humans and green-skinned four-armed savages. These savages do not have modern weapons at all, but they have not been exterminated. These two groups of aliens clearly have high-tech weapons, but they are still interested in the protagonist, an Earthling who can only jump a little higher. Even the alien princess falls in love with the protagonist at first sight. What's more, the explanation of transmigration in this film is quite careless. The conspiracy in the film is at the level of a child's battle of wits …
"Of course, I'm not criticizing the original author. After all, he was an ancient person from a hundred years ago. However, the director should already know that it's not the right time to film this film now.
"Recently, many people have been comparing Flying Star Journey with Tomorrow is Beautiful. I might be suspected of praising domestically-produced movies by saying this, but I still have to say that Tomorrow is Beautiful is much better than Flying Star Journey in terms of plot, worldview, details, and sci-fi even though there are many unreasonable points in Flying Star Journey!"
"For example, Flying Star Journey can be seen as putting many good ingredients together and simmering them. They are all good things, but the taste is all gone.
"Tomorrow is Beautiful, on the other hand, is more like using many simple and common ingredients to create a delicacy that no one has tasted before. The ingredients do not look complicated, but if you taste it carefully, you will have an endless aftertaste.
"Therefore, if anyone hasn't watched Tomorrow is Beautiful and thinks that Flying Star Journey is a little hard on the eyes, I strongly recommend that you watch it. Of course, if you have already watched it, I have no objections to watching it again to wash your eyes. "
…
Pei Qian seemed to have found the problem.
He still did not believe it. He read the forum again and completely believed it this time.
There were really people who went to the cinema to watch Tomorrow is Beautiful because of the movie Flying Star Journey!
Those who had not watched Tomorrow is Beautiful before were curious and wanted to watch it when they heard that many people were praising Flying Star Journey and praising Tomorrow is Beautiful.
Many people who had watched Tomorrow is Beautiful before also wanted to watch it again to wash their eyes.
However, Flying Star Journey was not the unluckiest one. It was a big production with stars after all. It had invested 170 million US dollars. Even if it seemed to have lost all its money now, it was not something that other movies could bully.
The unluckiest one was The Chaser. Flying Star Journey and Tomorrow is Beautiful were fighting. Both films were becoming more popular, and the attendance rate and box office were also rising. As a result, The Chaser's screening schedule was squeezed out …
Pei Qian had been looking forward to Flying Star Journey beating Tomorrow is Beautiful when it was released. He wanted to lighten his burden before the movie stopped screening.
In the end, Tomorrow is Beautiful's box office figures were rising against the trend!
Based on the current situation, the film's box office would continue to rise!
Pei Qian threw his cell phone aside, feeling like he had nothing to live for.
The reinforcements that came from afar were too weak to fight. They were defeated in just one day.
Not only did it not affect Tomorrow is Beautiful's box office, but it also had the opposite effect.
It was difficult!
