On the 8th of January, the Wa-wah robot 2.0 was officially released.
The one million units that were on the shelves that day were all snapped up in a few minutes.
Subsequently, Xing Hai Technologies maintained the style of "stock every day." They released up to 50,000 units every day.
Even so, the supply still exceeded the demand. They were still snapped up by the consumers within a few minutes every day.
Xing Hai Technologies took many measures to prevent scalpers from hoarding. Even so, the scalpers still made a fortune. Wa-wah 2.0 in the second-hand salted fish market was sold for more than 15,000 dollars. Anything lower than this price would be bought by the consumers who urgently needed it in a short period of time.
According to the survey, 27.3% of the consumers who snapped up Wa-wah 2.0 had previously purchased Wa-wah 1.0 or 1.1.
These consumers did not lack Wa-wah robots in their homes, but they still decided to place an order for the latest version.
About 5% of the users even purchased all three versions of Wa-wah 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0. Although it was somewhat redundant, this group of users said helplessly, "I really can't control myself. I want to buy it, I just want to buy it. Then, I placed an order."
Not long after.
More than a million Wa-wah 2.0 units entered service in thousands of households.
The short video websites, social circles, and news reports of the entire Z nation were successively taken over by Wa-wah 2.0.
On TikTok, Kuai Shou, and other short videos.
"Wa-wah, smile for me."
"Wa-wah, sing me 'Little Apple.'"
"Wa-wah, perform a mechanical dance."
"Today, I brought my Wa-wah to clean a square of 1,000 square meters. I got a total of 10 environmental protection points. I battled with other robots twice and won both times."
"Mommy is going to work. Wa-wah, help me look after the house."
In social circles, there were also countless people sharing Wa-wah's daily life. They recorded countless hilarious moments and won countless likes.
However, in just a few days, a few incidents reported by the news media pushed the popularity of Wa-wah robot 2.0 to a peak.
"On the 17th, the A City's police station received a mysterious call. The caller claimed to be the Wa-wah robot 'Ah Bao'. Ah Bao said that a strange man had entered his master's house and was rummaging through the house's belongings. Ah Bao suspected that he was a thief and asked the police to arrest him. Ah Bao provided the police with a detailed address … 15 minutes later, the burglar, Mr. Xu, was arrested by the police. Until he was arrested, Mr. Xu still did not know how he had failed."
"On the 18th, B City's People's Hospital received a 120 emergency call. The caller claimed to be 'Robot Duoduo'. Duoduo said that the elderly he was taking care of had suddenly fallen ill, and the other adults were not at home. He asked the doctors to hurry and save him … Ten minutes later, the medical staff and the patient's family arrived at the home at the same time. After emergency treatment, the old man's life was no longer in danger … The chief physician said that if the old man had been sent to the hospital five minutes later, he would have been dead."
"Late at night on the 19th, a fire broke out in a residential area in C City. However, because the robot 'Dou Dou' called the police in time and the fire trucks arrived in time, the fire was quickly brought under control. People were evacuated in time, and property damage was minimal. The owner of the house, Mr. Li, told the reporters that it was fortunate that Dou Dou called the police in time. If Dou Dou hadn't discovered the fire and woken us up in time, the fire would have spread, and our family … Dou Dou saved our lives!"
"On the afternoon of the 20th, two children in D City climbed onto the balcony's stainless steel window to play while their parents were not at home. The robot 'Sweet Girl' discovered this situation, and after warning them repeatedly, contacted the children's parents. The children's parents rushed home at top speed, pulled the children who were playing on the window down, and gave them a beating. The children's father told the reporters that the stainless steel window in their house was severely rusted, and three of the screws had fallen off. They lived on the 18th floor."
"…"
"Up until now, the Wa-wah robot has assisted the police in arresting 13 burglars, called 120 to rescue 8 elderly people, reduced the potential damage caused by 3 fires, reported special situations to the parents of 37 children, and even called 110 to stop a domestic violence incident that could have resulted in the death of the victim … It is conceivable that the Wa-wah robot will do more similar things in the future, and become the guardian of more families."
"Are you still hesitating whether you should buy the Wa-wah robot? Are you still hesitating because of the price tag of 9,000 dollars? Alright, when the elderly in your family suddenly fall ill, and you are not by their side; when your child has a fever or a cold, and you are not by their side; when all kinds of accidents that could lead to tragedy occur, and you are not at the scene, you will regret not buying a Wa-wah robot in the first place. "
The above text appeared in the comment section below the news reports of the Wa-wah robots' contributions.
After it appeared in the linked articles shared on WeChat Moments.
The majority of netizens could no longer remain calm.
"Don't say anymore, don't say anymore. I'll buy it, I'll buy it, okay?!"
"I'll buy one for my mother. She's not in good health, and I'm too busy with work. Let Wa-wah stay by her side."
"Having a Wa-wah robot at home to take care of the child is indeed a lot more reassuring."
"Honey, don't hit me. I've been trying to buy one for three days, give me one more chance! This is the last time, I'll definitely get it today! "
"Honey, if you don't buy a Wa-wah robot for me, I'll divorce you! With Wa-wah, let's see if you still dare to hit me! "
"To prevent domestic violence, buy Wa-wah. Sisters, we won't get married without Wa-wah!"
"Yes, we won't get married without Wa-wah!"
It was dug out.
The value of the Wa-wah robot had been thoroughly dug out.
It was the terminator of the floor, and it always kept the home in the cleanest state.
It was the guardian of the family, and it protected the peace, happiness, and perfection of every family for a long time.
It was the angel of environmental protection, and it shouldered the mission of protecting the earth's environment. It was brought by environmentalists to the surrounding areas and public places to make the public environment clean and comfortable.
When it brought more and more beauty and improvement to people's lives, people were no longer numb.
The way they looked at the Wa-wah robot changed, and they began to yearn, envy, and desire.
People who used this product could clearly feel that their lives were getting better and better, and their happiness index was getting higher and higher.
For example, the middle-aged woman, Yan Meiling. After her Wa-wah 2.0 arrived, in addition to the previous Wa-wah 1.0 and 1.1, she had a total of three Wa-wah robots at home. They all brought her endless joy. Now, she had completely walked out of her depression, and she began to enjoy life and be happy.
There were countless examples similar to her.
So … it was crazy.
The Wa-wah robot 2.0 was selling like crazy.
The 50,000 units that were released every day were sold out in an increasingly short period of time.
The scalpers increased the price unscrupulously. They marked a Wa-wah 2.0 at 20,000 or 30,000, but they were not worried about not being able to sell it.
Now, the most popular greeting was, "Did you manage to get one today?"
In daily gatherings and exchanges, the phrase that attracted the most envious gazes was, "I managed to get a Wa-wah robot."
The Wa-wah robot had even become a symbol, a status symbol of the "middle class." Those who did not have a Wa-wah robot at home were not qualified to be called "middle class." They were not qualified to call themselves a well-off family.
Faced with the sudden surge in market demand.
Faced with the rampant scalpers and the complaints of the majority of users, Xing Hai Technologies was under pressure. It hurriedly announced to the public that it was increasing production capacity with all its might.
