Chapter 37: Yo-Yo Tournament

The strategy of setting a "high-price zone" and a "low-price zone" for toys is inspired by a fat boy surnamed G and a friend surnamed Wan.

The yo-yo boom in the North American market made Meng Lang a lot of dollars.

But because of this, it has been criticized by countless American people.

The New York Times wrote that the explosion of YOYO was a conspiracy of the Chinese. They are stealing America's national wealth by shady means. FOX was their accomplice, and this traitor violated the spirit of America by falling on his knees at the feet of PD and wagging his tail and begging for mercy......

The accompanying picture is a hand-drawn cartoon of a bearded man with the letters "PD" on his T-shirt, carrying a weapon that looks like a yo-yo, kicking open a wooden door with "USA" written on it, and robbing two children in the house.

Ironically, in this cartoon, FOX also gets an appearance, but it is depicted as a rusty iron lock at the door, with a small line written next to it: "This is betrayal!"

This is betrayal, this is betrayal!

Following Neon TBS, another media giant has taken on the title of "Erwuzai".

The irony that Fox encountered was much stronger than the original TBS.

After all, although neon is also a "high-price area" set by Meng Lang, in view of the local price level, the price of toys is not very high, at most more than a dozen yuan higher than in China.

But Lao Mei is different!

After all, it is the largest country in the universe, and if the price is low, it doesn't look down on people!

The scolding is like a tide, the PD club has become the most hated company by parents in the United States, a piece of plastic is so expensive, why don't you rob it?

Fox was also in a hurry.

They are not overseas companies like Pengda Film and Television, and the American people have scolded and scolded them, and they have never been able to shake the foundation of the PD Society. But they are different, after all, they have to be just right, and if they offend parents all over the United States, it will be bad.

So, Fox made an urgent statement.

The statement is very long, but the general content is: This matter has nothing to do with me! I FOX did not betray anyone, we just fulfilled the contractual obligations, the toy part is completely the responsibility of the PD company, the culprit is not my FOX, but the evil PD company!

Fox dumped the blame on Pengda Group and said it had no idea about the price of the toy.

Sir, how can I be a traitor with thick eyebrows and big eyes?

After all, Fox is a media giant, and when they wanted to direct the public opinion turmoil to PD Company, the direction of the wind immediately changed.

Evil PD company!

FOX is also a victim, we wronged him!

A Wall Street earnings analyst at Goldman Sachs somehow got his hands on Pengda Film's undisclosed January sales data.

"I've never seen a company as greedy as PD, who are using despicable discriminatory pricing to transport dollars away from truckloads of dollars......"

The sales data was released, and the cumulative sales of yo-yos in the United States exceeded 2 million copies, and the evil PD company, just made a sales commission, and the revenue reached an incomparably high of 15 million US dollars!

Falk Squid!

Parents across the United States collectively scolded their mothers.

Just when parents were preparing to jointly lobby MPs to include PD in the list of undesirable businesses, news came from the United Kingdom, next door to the ocean.

Yoyos from the Big Empire start at £30.

The reason why it is so expensive is mainly because Pengda Film and Television does not have any partners in the UK, and all the yo-yos sold are manufactured through the domestic Pengda Toy Factory and imported and exported through the customs.

The British wanted to cry without tears, and the parents had to curse the PD club thousands of miles away, while obediently paying for their son's toys.

American: "......"

It is said that there is no harm if there is no comparison, and compared with the pricing of Da Hao, it seems to be 29.9 US dollars...... Is it still wide?

......

The voice of public opinion has never been heard by Meng Lang.

Scold it, scold it, anyway, you will buy it if you should buy it, and if you don't buy it, you won't necessarily want it even if you give it to him for free.

Moreover, such a scolding seems to have had a certain impact on the overseas sales of yo-yos, but in fact, it is ......

After entering February, yo-yo's overseas sales not only did not decline sharply, but even grew against the trend!

It's all parents scolding!

Don't play yo-yos, you scold a hammer!

Children all over the world are like birds, and the more parents don't let him play, the more he has to try.

The nationwide condemnation campaign not only did not affect the overseas sales of PD toys, but even made children who didn't know what a yo-yo was interested in yo-yo toys.

Fate is wonderful!

The reaction force from the "rebellious period" made this group of parents suffer the consequences, and also made Pengda make a lot of money for it.

But soon he was not happy.

Ma Teng, director of the market operation department, reported one thing to him.

Since the United States is the "high-price area" set by Pengda, Laomo, which is separated by a wall, is a "low-price area".

So, a very strange thing happened.

The snakeheads who were originally engaged in the smuggling business have taken up side businesses, and when they sent Lao Mo to smuggle immigrants, they brought a batch of yo-yo spot by the way, and started the business of "cross-district purchasing". It is said that they are doing a good job, and their income is no less than that of Pengda, after all, they belong to smuggling and do not need to pay taxes.

Purchasing agents from low-price areas to high-priced areas?

Fack!

This time it was Meng Lang's turn to scold his mother.

In order to curb the occurrence of this kind of behavior, Pengda took the initiative to contact the relevant departments of the United States to report the "yo-yo smuggling" incident at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Lao Mei attaches great importance to it!

They are not concerned with such a thing as "yo-yo smuggling", but to crack down on border smugglers.

So, the two sides hit it off.

Pengda secretly installed a small batch of locators on the yo-yos it sold to Mexico, and once they appeared at the border, they would even bring the yo-yos to the end!

The crackdown was fruitful, the sales in North America increased steadily, and Mr. Meng's face finally showed a satisfied smile.

The happiness of rich people is often so unpretentious and boring.

Overseas yo-yos have only been popular for a short time, but in the domestic toy market, yo-yos are already a "half-outdated" toy.

On the contrary, the toys of the Little Demon Fairy series are selling well among girls, and the sales of derivatives such as stickers, stationery, and magic fairy skirts are quite high.

In order to further squeeze the market potential of yo-yos, Pengda Toy Factory and the market operation department of Pengda Film and Television have joined forces to plan a big event!

"Pengda Cup" Yo-Yo World Series!

The prize money for the winner is up to $100,000!

The runner-up also has $50,000!

The competition is divided into three stages: preliminary round, semi-final round and final round.

The preliminary round is very simple, you can sign up to participate, and each country and region is limited to one city. The domestic preliminary and semi-finals are sponsored by Pengda Group, and overseas regions are sponsored by local partners.

After a week of preliminary rounds, the top 12 players will receive air tickets to Jiangchuan and participate in the final championship and runner-up competition according to the global ranking of semi-final scores!
