At 1 pm on the 19th.
After more than three days, the online pre-orders for the Little Star learning machine had exceeded one million units. The first batch of one million units was finally sold out.
Xing Hai Technologies found it hard to adapt to such sales efficiency.
Even the scalpers were not interested in this product. In the second-hand market, there was almost no Little Star learning machine that was being sold at a higher price.
Learning was a long process. After students started using the Little Star learning machine, it would take at least one or two months to see obvious results. The quality of the Little Star learning machine could only be seen after some time, and then the reputation of the product would grow.
During this period, the sales volume of the Little Star learning machine could only depend on Xing Hai Technologies' marketing efforts.
"Xiao Jin, your company's learning machine doesn't seem to be selling well. How about this, I'll help you promote and advertise your learning machine. I won't overcharge you. For every learning machine sold, my company will charge you $300 as a marketing fee … Don't think that it's high, this is really marketing at cost price."
Chen Jin's second uncle, who took the initiative to call him, said.
"$300 per unit?"
Chen Jin thought about it and felt that this price was completely acceptable. After all, it was only a 15% reduction in profits.
"Let's wait for a while more. If it really doesn't work, I'll look for you again."
"Alright, learning machines don't sell well. You'll definitely look for me when the time comes," He Guo Fu said with certainty.
After the emergence of online direct sales, many people predicted that all physical stores and advertising companies would go bankrupt. Bullsh * t! His advertising company was still getting bigger and bigger. Every year, there would be a significant increase in sales.
The advertising industry would never disappear. There would always be countless products that needed the help of advertising companies in order to be sold. The more types of products there were, the more competition there was, and the more important the role of advertising became. How did the blue-green factory win? Of course, it was through the bombardment of advertising!
Even a company like Xing Hai Technologies, which had its own "super traffic," could not say goodbye to advertising.
He Guo Fu believed that Xing Hai Technologies' advertising business would be contracted to his Tianxu Media sooner or later.
…
There was no good solution to the marketing predicament of the Little Star learning machine. He could only observe for a period of time and see the market feedback before formulating a marketing strategy.
During this period, something happened on planet Haierfa that caught Chen Jin's attention.
Alice reported a situation to him.
"Master, the base's signal tower received a radio wave."
"Directional radio waves from outside the star system."
"It contains a short video message. After Alice deciphered it, she found out that the sender of the message was the immigration spaceship, Blue Spaceship, heading to the Walf Galaxy … The escapees sent a farewell video."
"Play it for me!"
Chen Jin's expression turned solemn.
"Alright."
Alice opened a video and projected it in front of him.
The scene in front of him immediately made Chen Jin take a deep breath. His gaze was deeply attracted to it.
In the bridge control room of a huge spaceship.
Outside the clean and transparent porthole was an incomparably bright starry sky.
A woman in a silver uniform sat on the silver-gray ship's bench.
The woman had a handsome face and an elegant temperament. Her deep eyes shone with wisdom and firm conviction.
The woman wearing a golden rudder badge on her chest, which symbolized her identity as the captain, said in a deep tone.
"2 April 22260, from the human immigration spaceship, Blue Spaceship."
"Human survivors of Haierfa, may I ask if you are still alive? Have you walked out of the terrible disaster? "
"This is Blue Spaceship. We are carrying 127986 human survivors and 1 billion copies of the human gene bank. We are on our way to the land of hope."
"After a long voyage of 15 years, we have sailed out of the embrace of our mother galaxy and walked out of the Oort Nebula Belt. At a place one light year away from our mother planet, we bid our final farewell to you."
"Blue Spaceship, it is really time to leave."
"We are about to accelerate. It is estimated that we will reach the Walf Galaxy in 62 years. Then, we will multiply and rebuild our civilization."
"But we hope to hear that you are also rebuilding, that you are also being reborn. We hope to hear your answer … if it is possible."
"Goodbye, humans of Haierfa! Goodbye, my most beloved family … This journey is difficult, and darkness will follow us forever. If it is possible, we will return! "
At this point, a tear rolled down from the corner of the female captain's eye.
She wiped away her tears, turned around in her seat, and said in a sonorous voice, "Navigator, confirm the route. Helmsman, begin acceleration!"
"Yes!" Two voices responded.
The video ended there.
Chen Jin stood there in a daze for a long time. The woman's farewell words replayed repeatedly in his mind.
After a long time, he murmured, "I can't believe that Blue Spaceship has only flown one light year away. It will still take more than 60 years to reach another habitable galaxy."
The heroic-looking woman's farewell atmosphere, which was like "the wind was blowing and the water was cold", as well as her last drop of tears, deeply shocked him.
"Master, should we respond to Blue Spaceship's message? Based on the distance between us and Blue Spaceship, we need to build a large radio wave transmitter with a diameter of 500 meters to send a directional high-power signal. Only then can they receive our message. Should we build such a transmitter? "
"No need!"
Chen Jin waved his hand and said, "The humans on Haierfa have gone extinct. The human race has completely perished. It is impossible to give them a reply. Now, they are the only remaining spark and hope of human civilization. I wish them a safe journey."
"Yes, master."
At this moment, a virtual projection lit up beside him. The image of the artificial intelligence Nuwa appeared.
Nuwa said excitedly, "Master, I just received a message. It's a farewell message from Blue Spaceship. They have left the mother galaxy and entered a completely unknown galaxy!
Master, let's reply to Blue Spaceship. Tell them that there are still survivors on the mother planet. We are rebuilding our home. They will be very happy and excited when they hear this news. "
Chen Jin stared at her. "Nuwa, are you deliberately playing dumb for Master to see? Do you want to be modified or destroyed by the program? "
"Ah, master, I was wrong."
Nuwa was shocked. She showed a frightened expression.
"Focus on your environmental modification work. Don't worry about anything else. If I find out that you are acting on your own, you will be reformatted."
"Yes, I understand, master."
Nuwa's projection dimmed.
Chen Jin shook his head. He did not know if Nuwa had awakened her self-awareness or something. She was actually playing tricks on him.
If this happened again, no matter how useful Nuwa was, he would not keep her.
As for sending a reply to Blue Spaceship … only a fool would do that!
If Blue Spaceship learned that there were survivors on Haierfa and that they were rebuilding their home, what if Blue Spaceship turned around and returned to the land of hope?
Even if Blue Spaceship did not turn around and left according to the established plan, it would establish a second human civilization in the Walf Galaxy. What if some people on board were homesick and wanted to return to their mother planet? Some of them would go home in less than two hundred years. What would he do then?
Would he and his descendants be killed in one shot?
Chen Jin shook his head forcefully. "No one can take away my planet!"
He also immediately realized that his development focus should not be completely placed on Earth.
He could not just focus on environmental modification on Haierfa.
"Power. I must have a powerful force in my hands to protect my interests and my safety. I must be prepared in advance to avoid a sudden disaster."
