Chapter 1162: Experience Store
Egret Island morning, Bee Smart World Bee Garden Store.
Counting the counters, there are more than 10,000 bee sales outlets around the world, but the bee garden store is the most special.
With the Bee headquarters and Factory Zero in its back, it's always one step ahead of the curve and the first to put new products on the shelves.
Over time, the Bee Garden store has become a holy place in the hearts of fans, and even queuing at the door has been given a different meaning, with a sense of ritual like a pilgrimage.
Today, too, although the store supports queuing in the air, and although there are awnings and benches in the small square in front of the door, there are still many customers who choose to stand in front of the door and wait, but they don't want to waste that little time when they are connected to the notice and rush over.
Because it sells consumer electronics and peripherals, most of the people who appear here are young men, and many of them have a faint house smell.
However, Bee also has female fans, and there are more than a dozen girls waiting in the queue at this time.
Zhang Xuyao is one of them, she calmly leans on a wheelchair, shakes her head with headphones on her head, and reads the lyrics quickly in her mouth: "Some people say that he owes a lot of money in his hometown and needs to avoid the limelight ......", but it is the rap passage in "Drifting to the North".
The song has been released for five months and has garnered tens of millions of hits outside the wall, but it is a new song for her. Because of the finale performance of the water boy at the opening ceremony of the World Universiade, she heard this song for the first time. Although she knew there was a misunderstanding in this, she was poisoned, and the single has been looping until now.
After listening to it a lot, she also tried to sing along, but unfortunately the difficulty of the singing passages was still too high, so she could only speed up her speech and try rap. This thing is very free, even if you sing badly, you can bite the bullet and say that you are playing freestyle.
Suddenly, water droplets fell into the crowd, most of them were absorbed by hair and clothes, and a few touched the skin to bring a faint coolness, finally waking up the people who were waiting.
"Huh?" Zhang Xuyao looked up at the sky, "This is, it's raining?"
Summer is already rainy, and today's weather forecast also says that there will be showers, so she has already prepared rain gear, and immediately took out her umbrella from the bag, opened it and propped it above her head, and continued to stop her song.
Behind her, Shen Xueni did the same, she also took out her umbrella and opened it, and then pushed her wheelchair towards the side of the awning. Feelings or something, in the face of health and safety, you can only put it aside.
"No, no!" Zhang Xuyao hurriedly stopped, "My wheelchair is said to support wading 15 centimeters, and there should be no problem with this little rain." ”
Shen Xueni didn't stop, and asked in a low voice: "What if there is a problem? This is a high-end product with a deposit of 4,000 yuan!"
In these years, everything can be shared, even medical equipment such as wheelchairs and crutches are "shared". Although their operating model looks more like "traditional leasing + APP", Zhang Xuyao still has a fashionable experience.
"It's okay, if you use water normally, I'll sue them for false propaganda!"
The glasses girl was speechless for a while, so she had to take out the killer weapon and take out her mobile phone, "Even if the wheelchair can stand it, the mobile phone screen can't stand it." ”
The capacitive touch screen is good for everything, but it is not waterproof, and it is very annoying to misoperate when stained with water droplets. And her glasses too, it will be annoying to stick to the water, so it's better to avoid it early.
This reason is too strong, Zhang Xuyao immediately stopped resisting, and now he can still grab a good position in the past, but he is not a loss.
Summer rain is always fast, and although the weather is hot, there will be no "cold ice rain on the face", but taking a rain shower is still not a beautiful experience that everyone wants. Seeing that the raindrops were getting bigger and bigger, the crowd scattered to take shelter from the rain, and the long queue suddenly collapsed.
Hearing the crackling sound of the awning, Shen Xueni, who was sitting on the bench, turned her head to look at the side, "Buy in advance, the price is forty percent more expensive, not to mention, you have to come and line up in person, do you regret it now?"
Not only does Bee Games have public beta, but also Bee hardware products, and every time a new product is mass-produced and listed, the group's employees are eligible to buy no more than 3 copies at a 7% discount, so that employees can get benefits, and the company can also know the product defects in the first time to improve them in time, which is a win-win situation.
Teacher Zhang's whole family is a bee education employee, so naturally he also has this qualification, but now he has to bear 42% of the "premium" for buying in advance, Zhang Xuyao's behavior is really panicked.
However, she didn't see it that way, and shook her head slightly, "Then what public beta is only for the mass production stage, and it will be tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of goods at that time, and there is no room for premium appreciation when you buy it back." Now this one is different, Factory Zero is handmade, 100% manual inspection, production capacity is extremely limited, and the collection value is much higher. Otherwise, do you think these people come to line up every day, really just because of true love?"
"Huh?" Shen Xueni was surprised, and hurriedly reached out to cover her small mouth.
She only knew that the bee intelligence world located in the bee garden was very popular, and there were people queuing at the door every day, but she didn't know that there was such an inside story. Looking at these people around her, the girl's eyes are a little different, as an ordinary user, she naturally will not have any good feelings about scalpers who buy and sell.
Zhang Xuyao didn't pay attention to the other party's expression, and was still talking to herself: "The original iPhone was auctioned for $50,000 on eBay, and the first generation of iPods and iMac were even more expensive, if anyone had the original Apple computer from 40 years ago, they could change their house casually." It's true that the influence of bees now can't be compared with Apple's, and they don't have so many sentimental fans, but what about ten or twenty years from now? As long as the bees don't fall, these things will continue to appreciate in value, which is much more reliable than buying central bank commemorative coins. ”
The central bank issued 500 million monkey coins with a face value of 10 yuan last year, and this year made another 500 million chicken coins, which directly stunned the scalpers, and the market price of the two zodiac coins has been maintained at the face value for a long time, becoming a real commemorative coin.
Silent and taking a deep look at someone, Shen Xueni finally asked her doubts: "So you brought me here to buy a 'double-sided' tablet, also to stock up on fried goods?"
"Of course!" Zhang Xuyao nodded in confirmation, and said with flying eyebrows: "The design is so wonderful, and the collection value is much higher than those New Year's goods." If the product ultimately fails, it will be as 'scarce as a precious thing' attribute as the wrong stamp coin, and the price potential will be even higher. How about it, sisters, they deliberately take you to make a fortune, and do things in an authentic way, right?"
"Thank you so much!" said Shen Xueni in a perfunctory tone.
At this moment, Zhang Xuyao finally noticed that something was wrong, and looked at the round-faced girl suspiciously, "What's wrong with you, this is?"
After thinking about it, Shen Xueni decided to ask bluntly: "Isn't the bee doing this encouraging and conniving scalpers?"
"Hey!" Zhang Xu Yao stretched out his hand to pat the other party, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Young man, you only know one but you don't know the other." And relax, listen to the old man for you. ”
"Scalpers and scalpers are different, number dealers, ticket sellers, and mobile phone speculators, these people specifically grab money from the pockets of users who just need it, so they should naturally be beaten and killed. Those who pour famous bags, hoard red wine, hype Cuban cigars and Blue Mountain coffee, and rush all kinds of limited editions will do much less damage, and the number of famous bags and famous wines will become less and the price will be higher, and the people who buy them will feel more happy. ”
seemed to feel unsatisfied, she used the classic lines of the "Big Shot" movie, pinched her throat and said: "You have to study the consumption psychology of customers, customers who are willing to pay 2,000 US dollars, if they pay an extra 2,000 to improve the grade, they will not refuse." What is a successful person? A successful person buys only the most expensive and rare things, and never buys the best and most affordable things. Therefore, our slogan for making luxury goods is: not the best, but the most expensive!"
In textbooks, the price of a commodity is determined by value, but in actual transactions, it is the buyer's psychological price that is responsible for the price. For merchants, factors such as excellent quality, cultural connotation, packaging publicity, celebrity endorsements, appreciation potential, and scarce quantity can all increase the psychological price, and they can earn more profits if they operate properly.
"Because the price of goods needs to consider the entire customer group, it can't be too detailed and too miscellaneous, except for the well-known consortium B (toy giant Bandai, which has the exclusive peripheral rights and interests of well-known IPs such as Gundam, Ultraman, Pokemon, and four-wheel drive brothers, and no matter how expensive it is, there are fans to pay for it), merchants usually put the price farther below the consumer's psychological price, in order to create a 'value' impression to stimulate impulse purchases to make people happy to chop their hands and enjoy one. It's just that in this way, it also creates room for scalping arbitrage for others, and then there are scalpers. ”
"So scalpers are endless, even in the era when the price is locked in the supply of tickets, there are people who resell non-staple food tickets without tickets, let alone now. Bees are developing a limited edition market for them, but they are just trying to guide the combing. After all, allowing them to hoard regular products has a much greater negative impact on the average user and brand. ”
In fact, because of the strong implementation of purchase restrictions, and even at the expense of using face recognition technology, the funds deposited on limited products are actually not much, and the bees do this more to artificially heat up the collection market and create additional premiums for their own brands.
After listening to her explanation, Shen Xueni let go of her doubts, but she still looked at someone deeply, "So you are justified as a scalper?"
Zhang Xuyao rolled her eyes, "Sister is not a scalper, sister is an investor." ”
"Well, you're an investor. Tell me, how much are you going to buy?"
Now it's Mr. Zhang's turn to shut up, the limited purchase policy is there, even if she uses up all the quotas, she won't make much money, unless she really has to cover it for ten or eight years as she said. What she should do most now is actually to invest her money in the "leather bag company" Yao Technology, instead of running here to grab a limited amount with a bunch of collectible scalpers.
Fortunately, the mobile phones of the two rang one after another, freeing Zhang Xuyao from embarrassment and speechlessness.
Decisively leaving his companion, Zhang Xuyao turned the waist bar of the wheelchair and rushed to the store in front of him, not even wanting an umbrella.
Sighing helplessly, Shen Xueni got up and picked up two umbrellas and followed.
Swiping her mobile phone and brushing her face, she walked straight to the "Today's New Product Area" after entering the door, and sure enough, she found Zhang Xu Yao in front of the "Double-sided Warrior" display table, and the guy was waiting in line to place an order.
The bee intelligent world is open to the entire "Bee Open Alliance", but the most appearances are still the bees' own things, and a wave of new products released by the new cool brand development conference last night is among them.
The SORD famous sword mobile phone is still being tested in the Thiel laboratory of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and it has not appeared for the time being, but everyone is not interested in that slightly mediocre mobile phone, and most people are gathered in front of the "double-sided warrior", obviously full of interest in this wonderful tablet equipped with ARM/X86 dual chips.
Zhang Xu Yao can see the collection value of this product, and others can naturally see it, if it weren't for the limited flow outside, this table would definitely be surrounded by water.
It didn't take long for the customers in front of the queue to complete their orders and leave with a smile, but it was Zhang Xuyao's turn.
Pulling the wheelchair forward, she didn't rush to place an order, but opened the game on the table. Shen Xueni stood behind her and saw clearly, but it was "The Last Survivor" that Amway gave herself a few days ago.
Because the system kernel is exactly the same, different Bee terminals are compatible with each other's applications, even if the developer does not have a UI interface, they can still run console games and mobile games with each other by connecting external controllers/keyboards and mice, and touchscreen phones.
The double-sided tablet has four USB TypeC ports, three of which are connected to a keyboard, mouse, and gamepad, and there are also a lot of large PT games listed on the desktop, and Bee clearly has full confidence in the optimization of its products.
Paying attention to the screen, Shen Xueni nodded secretly, the picture quality and smoothness were very good, and the situation that she was worried about not moving did not happen.
Think about it, too, the resolution of "double-sided" is only 1920x1080 after all, and the performance requirements are far less exaggerated than PT2's 4K, and the tablet can also be plugged in and overclocked, which can naturally be driven.
Zhang Xuyao should also be satisfied, and she gave her head casually, and she forcibly withdrew from the game switching system.
According to Atletico Madrid's statement at the press conference, the "double-sided warriors" that focus on domestic independent attributes are pre-installed by default Bee 8 and Youqilin 17 two "domestic systems", and at the same time provide users with pre-installed Linux, INDOS, Android and other systems for paid customization services.
However, they also understand where the core needs of dual-system tablet users are, and the display machine here has replaced the Youqilin with the in10 system. The latter is a "licensed Chinese version" made by the relevant domestic departments and Canonical, the support company of the most popular Linux distribution Ubuntu, which focuses on security, open source and localization, but it is not very attractive to ordinary users.
Seeing the familiar indos desktop, Shen Xueni hurriedly put aside her chaotic thoughts and observed carefully.
Similar to the bee 8 system,There are also a lot of icons listed here,In addition to the bee browser、Bee video、Android virtual machine,There are also valve's steam on the desktop、EA's origin、Ubisoft's uplay,And bee's own beegame game platform,Various representative 3A masterpieces are also spread all over the screen,Let her faintly worry about storage space。
The actual experience is also OK, the bee's own stand-alone and online games perform well, Overwatch runs smoothly, even the French potatoes, which are known for their easy mistakes, are running smoothly this time without jumping error pop-ups.
Seeing this, Zhang Xuyao and Shen Xueni had all the doubts in their hearts, and decisively scanned the code and selected the maximum number. Although it is for the strange scarcity, they still hope that this product can be successful, so that the first product can be more valuable.
