Chapter 99: Earning Blowout!
The orcs shouted loudly and neatly, but none of them pierced the fact that they really couldn't afford it.
There may be thirty or fifty wealthy orcs who can afford to buy a crazy 1st generation, but most orcs can't have that ability.
……
The next day.
January 19th.
Eight o'clock in the morning.
The heart of the city of Magic.
Two newly decorated mobile phone stores were grandly opened.
One is called "Nokia Store" and the other is called "Love Crazy Store".
The two stores are not far apart, only about 50 meters, and the stores are more than 300 square meters and 20 sales windows.
Early this morning, in front of the two specialty stores, there was a long queue, and there was a crowd of people.
The two teams are almost the same length, but the difference between the two is unobstructed.
The team in front of the Nokia store on the left is generally dressed plainly, with a popular and simple appearance, and the team in the crazy store on the right is generally brightly dressed and has a high-spirited and calm outlook.
The team on the left has a lower average income, mostly local natives, and can only choose the low-priced Nokia 001.
The team on the right has a high income and strong strength, with most of them being human high-strength mages, and they can afford to consume a 10,000-point contribution point for the first generation of Aimad.
The gap between the rich and the poor in the Magic City is evident from the appearance of these two teams.
In fact, there are no so-called "poor" in the Magic City, and the benefits provided by the Magic Association are enough for every family to live a well-off life.
However, things like wealth and resources are always in the hands of a few, and no matter how fair the system is, the gap between the rich and the poor cannot be avoided.
Of course, Zhou Ming doesn't want to pay attention to these, after the two mobile phone stores open at the same time, the question he is most concerned about is how about the sales of the two mobile phones?
How many mobile phones are sold and how much money he makes are the things he is most concerned about now.
About four hours later.
The mobile phones in the Aimad mobile phone store, all 5,000 Aicrazy 1st generation mobile phones, are sold out.
One was sold out without a single unit left.
"Why did it sell out so quickly?"
"I've been queuing for a long time, and you tell me it's sold out?"
"Half a month later, the second batch of stock, do you have to wait for half a month?
"If I had known this, I should have gotten up early to come over and line up. ”
The tens of thousands of guests who didn't grab it in the back were full of complaints and complaints, and some even temporarily changed their minds and entered the queue next to them to buy Nokia magic mobile phones, which was not very long.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Ming and others, who were standing on the top of a high-rise building not far away, holding a telescope to observe, had a smile on their faces.
Earned.
Earn a lot!
I made a lot of money in the morning.
How much can Zhou Ming probably make?
Take the 1st generation mobile phone that costs 10,000 contribution points as an example.
Although the price of this phone is amazing, the actual cost is not as high as advertised.
Excluding labor costs, the actual material cost of a magic smartphone of the first generation of love crazy is only about 1800 purple gold coins.
In the later stage, the output has gone up, and after the early R&D expenses are diluted, the material cost of each Aicrazy 1st generation can even be reduced to less than 1200.
Zhou Ming sold 10,000 contribution points.
In the black market of the Magic City, 1 contribution point can be exchanged for about 8 to 10 purple gold coins.
In other words, the profit margin of a crazy 1st generation has reached an astonishing 4400 percent!
Considering the extremely high prices in Magic City, if the production line of Crazy 1 is moved outside, the profit margin can be even higher!
In short, it can be considered that for every time he sells a crazy 1st generation magic mobile phone, Zhou Ming can net 9775 contribution points!
Remove the 4600 taken by the Magic Association.
Engineers and workers took 800.
Zhou Ming personally, for every 1 generation of love crazy sold, he netted 4375 contribution points.
Multiply by 5000.
The total is 21.875 million contribution points.
In just one morning, Zhou Ming earned more than 20 million contribution points!
Of course, the production cost of Nokia mobile phones is not high, the total cost of each unit is about 10 contribution points, and the net profit is about 90 contribution points per unit.
This time, Zhou Ming and they prepared a total of 500,000 Nokia 001 mobile phones, excluding the 100,000 discounts, which can bring a total net profit of about 40 million contribution points.
Zhou Ming can probably get 17 million of these contribution points.
The sum of the total profits of the two mobile phones, and then after repaying all the loans, finally ran to the contribution point in Zhou Ming's pocket, which was about 30 million.
About two weeks later.
All 500,000 Nokia Magic phones were sold out.
The second batch of 10,000 units of Aicrazy 1st generation was also fully sold out in stock, and it was soon sold out in one day.
Zhou Ming made a net profit of more than 20 million contribution points.
He is worth more than 50 million at once.
If Magic City had a Forbes list, he would at least be in the top three.
At this time, in the Magic City, there are more than one million people, almost every two people, there is one magic mobile phone.
The magic mobile phone market is gradually becoming saturated.
The popularity of the mobile phone trend has gradually cooled down.
But around the magic mobile phone, during this period of time, there were still several major events in the magic city that caused sensation and controversy.
It even led to a protest by more than 100,000 people in protest by the orc tribe in the city.
There has been a significant increase in the crime rate in the city, with theft, robbery, and homicide ...... In order to get a crazy 1st generation mobile phone, some people choose to take risks.
What's more, some people engage in illegal occupations, sell their souls and bodies, in order to get a crazy 1st generation mobile phone, in order to save up 10,000 contribution points, some people lose their minds and become very crazy.
The most typical is a young man named Seinbori, who found a legendary mage who also cultivated the undead system, and sold all the heart, liver, kidney, lungs, brain and other organs of his body to the other party for research, turning himself into a puppet in a costume controlled by others...... This person's desire and affection for the "Love Crazy 1st Generation" is indeed to the point of madness.
The incident in Seinbori sparked a heated discussion in the city, and the sudden protest march of the orcs pushed the magic mobile phone to the forefront!
Why did the orcs suddenly take to the streets to protest?
And it's more than 100,000 orcs.
Because the orcs also want to buy the 1st generation magic mobile phone.
The orcs don't like the single-function Nokia, and they also want to love the crazy 1st generation!
But...... They really can't afford it.
In the entire Magic City, out of the more than 15,000 units shipped by the 1st generation, the orcs bought less than a hundred of them.
Although the average IQ of orcs is average, it does not mean that they are stupid.
Love Crazy 1 has great features and great convenience, they also love to go crazy, and they also want to own one.
But they don't have enough contribution points, and many of them live on welfare.
But they just want to be crazy.
So what to do?
Hooray!
Crying children have candy to eat, how can they win the benefits of the association to give each of the orcs a crazy 1st generation?
This is an old routine played by orcs for millions of years, and they will not resort to violence, but will resort to mass protest to force the Magical Society to submit.
And in most cases, this trick can work, and you can win some benefits.
So on February 6th, a large number of orcs took to the streets, unfurled banners, and shouted various slogans in unison:
"We're going to play Love Crazy 1 too!"
"Protest! We can't afford to be crazy, we're going to protest!"
"You can't deprive us of the power to have the first generation of madness. ”
"Please send us a few love crazy!"
"One for each family, one for each is enough!"
"We are poor, but poor people can't live without love crazy for 1 generation. ”
"One family! One family!"
"Please give us a little love!"
"Orcs are also people, and orcs are also contributing to the Magic City!"
In all kinds of righteous slogans and strange banners, the harmony and purity of the entire magic city are shattered by the protests of the orcs.
Zhou Ming saw all this scene.
I was amazed.
"What a reasonable request. ”
"What an 'honest and honest' orc...... It turns out that it's all appearances. ”
Judging from their neat slogans, unmessy steps, and well-crafted banners, they should be very proficient in these routines. ”
"No wonder many people use the term 'cunning big animals' to describe these orcs. ”
And there are two places where the orc parade group is encircled.
One is the parliament building in the city center, and the other is the crazy mobile phone store...... The goal is clear.
As for the Nokia mobile phone store 50 meters away, there was not a single orc blocking there, and the operation of the surrounding shops was basically unaffected.
In this regard, Zhou Ming sighed.
"Professional, very professional, can only be described as professional. ”
"There's a reason why the Magic City has stood for thousands of years without chaos. ”
And then there's the negotiation, the two-part negotiation.
The orc representative negotiated with the senior management of the Magic Association, and the orcs hoped that the association would give them some crazy mobile phones for free.
The orc representative negotiated with the person in charge of the crazy mobile phone store, and the orc wanted the crazy mobile phone price to be reduced to a level that they could afford.
The request for free distribution of orc representatives, the senior management of the Magic Association sternly refused, saying that they couldn't afford to buy the 1st generation of love crazy, so they went to sell Nokia 001, the functions of the two are similar, and they can definitely buy cheap Nokia 001, don't mess around and make trouble!
Moreover, with the high price of crazy mobile phones, the association does not have the conditions to distribute them for free.
For the price reduction request of the orc representative, under Zhou Ming's instructions, the person in charge of the store said: The price can be reduced, and the third batch of love crazy 1st generation mobile phones that will be listed in two weeks, the price will be reduced to 9600 contribution points, and it is allowed to be offset with purple gold coins, as for the degree that most orcs can buy, it is impossible in a short time.
The orc representatives were not satisfied, and no consensus was reached on the first day of negotiations.
The next day, the orcs continued to protest.
Not only that, but the number of protesters has increased from 100,000 on the first day to 150,000.
And after seeing the orcs protesting, there were about 80,000 humans and about 20,000 dwarves on this day, because they couldn't afford crazy mobile phones, so they followed the orcs and joined the protest camp.
The total number of protesters reached 250,000.
The next day, negotiations were unsuccessful.
On the third day, the total number of orcs, humans, and dwarves protesting rose by 100,000 to 350,000!
Now the Magic Association finally couldn't sit still.
The old wolf personally found Zhou Ming and said to him solemnly: "Boy, this is the trouble you caused, you have to solve it!"
"I'll fix it?"
Zhou Ming pointed to his nose: "How can I solve it?" Anyway, why is this the trouble I caused, they are so troublesome, aren't they used to being like this by you?"
The old wolf waved his hand: "I don't care, you have to solve this trouble anyway! How can there be so many things without a crazy mobile phone? Anyway, you have to deal with this matter within two days, I'll go first......"
After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhou Ming's refutation, and disappeared without a trace.
I'll go!
