Chapter 169: Ten Minutes to Buy
PS: A new week has begun, asking for subscriptions, monthly passes, recommendations, tips......
Minister Chiba's pants were halfway through, and suddenly fell down again, revealing his red panties!However, he didn't care about this, and asked loudly, "How is it possible, our MiniDisc Walkman is so good, how can it only sell so little!!"
"Minister Chiba, I originally thought that our MiniDisc Walkman would definitely sell well!" Ichiro Yamada shook his head and said, "But who would have thought that Silicon Valley Electronics Group would launch a similar product and immediately snatch our customers away from !!"
"What!!" Minister Chiba said angrily, "what is it! How much has it sold now?!"
"Minister Chiba, the product launched by the Silicon Valley Electronics Group is called an iPod music player, and it has not sold a single ...... yet."
Minister Chiba was furious when he heard this, this Yamada Ichiro actually dared to joke in front of him, since the Silicon Valley Electronics Group has not sold a piece of that iPod, then how could it snatch all the customers of the MiniDisc Walkman?! Minister Chiba was very angry, but at this time he only felt that it was cold underneath, and he looked down,, he didn't have pants on......
Minister Chiba grinned and hurriedly put on his pants!
Then he glared angrily at Ichiro Yamada, who was standing in front of him: "Ichiro Yamada, did you take the wrong medicine, since Silicon Valley Electronics Group didn't sell an iPod music player, how did it steal our customers!!?
"Minister Chiba, it's not that I'm incompetent, it's that they!!'re too cunning," Yamada Ichiro quickly defended himself, "The iPod music player they launched doesn't need to use a CD at all, but downloads MP3 music directly on the Internet, and then puts it in the iPod to play! Therefore, it is natural for customers to choose the iPod and abandon the MiniDisc. And ......"
"And what!!" Minister Chiba walked up to Ichiro Yamada. Seeing him spitting and spitting, he was really angry, and shouted angrily at him!
"Minister, their iPod music player sells for $499. Only one dollar cheaper than our MiniDisc Walkman......"
Hearing this, Chiba kicked the chair in front of him away with a puff of anger, and the other party was obviously targeting Sony's MiniDisc Walkman!!
Ichiro Yamada said in a low voice: "Minister Chiba, the Internet is now full of iPod news, why don't you take a look!"
"Good. Take me there!"
Minister Chiba gave an order, Yamada Ichiro hurriedly led the way in front, and after a while, he came to a computer that had been turned on, and at this time, the screen was showing the website of Nicholas Shopping Network specially opened for iPod!
"Minister Chiba, look at the pictures above, this is an iPod!" Ichiro Yamada said, pointing to the screen, "Not only is it smaller than our MiniDisc, but it also looks more stylish." There are a lot of comments from people here who want to buy a ......."
Minister Chiba leaned closer to the computer and stared at the picture of his iPod with a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes from time to time. Two minutes later, he browsed the entire website, and then the whole person became uncomfortable, and he became more and more old!
"Ichiro Yamada, you're right, it's not that we're incompetent, it's that our opponents are too cunning......" Minister Chiba couldn't help but sigh. said, "Prepare to reduce the price! If the price of the MiniDisc Walkman is not reduced, I am afraid that it will really not be sold!!"
"Minister Chiba, our products have just been on the market for a short time. Just suddenly cut the price, isn't it too much......" Yamada Ichiro looked at Minister Chiba cautiously, and didn't dare to say the word "cowardice" directly in his mouth, but changed it to a euphemism!
Minister Chiba's eyes widened, and he lectured Yamada Ichiro again, "You idiot." If the price is not reduced, will we let the MiniDisc Walkman rust in the warehouse? Don't you see how much damage the iPod has caused to us MiniDisc? Before it is known to more people, we have to hurry up and sell the MiniDisc Walkman as much as possible. So, price reductions are the quickest way to do it!!"
"Hey!!" Ichiro Yamada nodded and replied loudly, but then added, "What about the customers who bought the MiniDisc Walkman before? They will definitely come to the door to complain, you see, do you want to compensate them......"
"Well, how much is the price reduction, then how much is it for them!" Minister Chiba said lightly.
"So how much should we cut the price?"
"One Hundred Dollars !!"

……
The time was approaching 12 o'clock, and at this time, Henry came to the Nicholas Group of Companies to monitor the data with the back-office technicians!
Countdown starts, 10, 9, 8, 7...... When the final count reaches 0, the rush purchase channel will be officially opened!!
At this time, netizens across the United States frantically clicked "one-click buy". "One-click purchase" is the patent of Nicholas Shopping Network, the coverage of this patent is too wide, almost all e-commerce websites have to be shot when you lie down and fall asleep, and you have to pay the patent fee obediently. The normal online shopping process is to put the product in the shopping cart first, and then fill in the delivery address, while the "one-click purchase" does all this directly, saving a lot of time, and then just choose the payment method!
That's right, it's a patent!
"Chairman, within a minute, seven hundred people have completed the transaction!! "The technician exclaimed excitedly.
Henry smiled: "Calm down, isn't it seven hundred......"
After a total of seven minutes, the technician excitedly shouted: "Chairman, half of the iPod has been sold!!
Henry was not satisfied: "It's only half sold, and within ten minutes, you won't be able to sell 10,000 units......"
The technician was stunned, selling 5,000 ipod music players in seven minutes is already very awesome, okay...... I've never seen anything sell so well!!
Then, minutes and seconds passed, and finally ten minutes later, Henry immediately shouted: "Close the purchase channel immediately!!"
"Yes!" the technician replied, clicking a close button on the backgrounder. Suddenly the purchase channel was closed!
At this time, netizens who were still rushing to buy suddenly saw a message pop up on the website.
"I'm sorry, but in 10 minutes, 10,000 iPods were sold out! Grab it at the same time next week (April 8th at 12 noon), and during this time, Silicon Valley Electronics Group will be producing iPods in a big way, and there will be more iPods waiting for you to buy them! Don't buy anything else, just wait to buy an iPod music player. In addition, I would like to tell you the good news that users who buy iPods will receive 100 music coins to buy songs. iPod Music Player currently only supports the daily music client and www under the daily music company. mp3。 The songs downloaded from the com website and other pirated music cannot be recognized, please pay attention to this, please pay attention to this!"
"As for the exchange rate between music coins and the US dollar, it is 1 US dollar = 10 music coins, and in order to benefit the people, the majority of iPod users can listen to more songs at a cheaper price. Tian Tian Music has decided to reduce the amount of music coins required for each song to 2 music coins instead of 10 music coins for downloading, which means that from now on, 1 dollar can buy 5 songs!"
"And the 100 music coins we give you, you can buy 50 songs!! "The reason why we give away music coins is that one is promotion, and the other is to cultivate users' genuine consumption habits, and there is no rush to make money. You should look farther ahead......
After reading the news, those users who snapped up their iPods were overjoyed, while those who didn't snap up their iPods were immediately discouraged and vowed that they would get their iPods next time!!
Then. In the comments on the site, someone shouted: "$600 for an iPod, if you are interested, please contact me ICQ account XXXXXXX !!"
Other netizens took a look at this message, Nima, it can be like this, and quickly left a message in the comments.
"$650 for an iPod. If you are interested, please contact me ICQ account XXXXXXX!"
"$700 ......"
"My $1,000 !!!! ICQ account number is XXXXXX"
"Tuhao, I just grabbed an iPod, ICQ is XXXXX, I want to buy it and add my friends, talk slowly, the one with the highest price will get it!"
"Haha, I also grabbed an iPod, but I will definitely not sell it! There are so many people who snap up iPods, who knows if they will be so lucky next time, hehe, if I can't grab an iPod, I'll cry to death!"
", what's the situation, as soon as Lao Tzu soaked in urine, the iPod was snatched up?!!!"
"You peed for ten minutes? haha...... So hanging!"
", don't you have to walk back and forth to the toilet? The toilet at my house is broken, I go to the toilet on the first floor!"
“……”
At a Japanese-style hotel, Minister Chiba and Ichiro Yamada both had gloomy faces.
It only took ten minutes to sell 10,000 ipod music players, which almost scared the two of them, and then saw that countless people spent a lot of money to buy them in the comments, and their hearts suddenly pulled cold.
"Ichiro Yamada, how many units of our MiniDisc Walkman have been sold after the price has been reduced?"
"Minister Chiba, after the price reduction, we sold two hundred ......"
After saying this, Minister Chiba and Ichiro Yamada looked at each other, and neither of them could speak...... In April, the wind in California was warm and not cold at all, but when a gust of wind blew, Minister Chiba and Ichiro Yamada only felt the bitter cold......
……
……
The news of the rush to buy 10,000 iPods in ten minutes naturally alarmed the United States!
Major newspapers have reported it, TV stations have also followed up and reported, interviewed many users who have purchased iPods, and there are heated discussions on the Internet!
In the next two days, the iPod was delivered to the home, and after using the iPod, the user liked it so much that he couldn't put it down, and the relatives and friends around him could only envy and hate. In school, whoever is still listening to songs with a Walkman is out, and going out with an iPod will save face!!
For a time, iPod became the most popular, fashionable and popular product among young people!!
"Only iPod !! of excellent quality"
At this time, Silicon Valley Electronics Group established an iPod flagship store on Nicholas Shopping Network, and the most conspicuous place is this sentence!
