Chapter 714 Purchase Restrictions

"I want a white 32G version with a credit card."

"I want two, and four of the protective cases for Plants vs. Zombies."

"I want one, and then a tempered protective film, swipe the card."

"I want ten white 16G units, can you help me get a box and put them in."

……

Manhattan's glorious flagship store on Fifth Avenue was bustling with people, with long queues at the cash registers and eight cashiers at full capacity.

What is surprising is that at the same time as the Gpad is sold this time, the corresponding protective cases and tempered protective films are also sold in an almost one-to-one ratio.

When Gphone went on sale, consumers' recognition of the protective case and protective film was not very high.

But after nearly a year of edification, many people have understood that large-screen smartphones cannot be compared with feature phones in terms of drop resistance.

For Guanghui mobile phones, the protective cases and tempered films in specialty stores are products with much higher profit margins than those of Gphone and Gpad.

A tempered film that costs only two or three yuan sells for $9.9 in the store.

A protective case that costs only more than ten yuan sells for $19.9 in the store.

If the case has a special logo such as "Plants vs. Zombies" or "Angry Birds", it will cost a few dollars.

Even, the Guanghui mobile phone also launched a protective case worth 99 US dollars: silk fabric, shaped epoxy panel, flocked inside, PC hard shell.

In short, through these peripheral products, selling a Gpad, the Glorious mobile phone can earn at least twenty dollars in addition.

Judging from the current monthly output of 1 million Gpads of Guanghui mobile phones, that is an additional profit of more than 20 million US dollars, and 300 million US dollars in a year.

More than 95 percent of the listed companies in the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges of the Celestial Empire have a profit of less than $300 million a year, right?

This is only the profit of the add-on, and there is no ontology that calculates the profit more.

It's just a money grab.

Grab Lao Mei's money, that feeling is really good!

It would be better if more companies in the Celestial Empire could grab money like this in the United States.

After all, Boeing, Intel, Microsoft, Oracle, Motorola, Cisco and other companies in the United States are also grabbing money in the Celestial Empire.

"Store manager, Gpad is selling so fast, 90% of the sales in our store since it opened today, and almost 10,000 units have been sold," said the salesperson of the Fifth Avenue store in Manhattan.

"How much stock do we have, how much do we have left?", as a store manager, the first concern is whether the Gpad will sell out.

If you have a bunch of customers in your store, but you don't have any Gpads to sell.

Not to mention how sorry this loss is, it's hard to say whether these enthusiastic consumers will be crazy because they didn't buy the products they like.

If there is any disturbance because of this, then she, the store manager, may be able to do it.

In this world, the Celestial Empire is not the only one who is afraid of mass incidents.

"Due to the important position of our flagship store, 30,000 units of the first batch of 300,000 goods were distributed to us, and all of them were in the warehouse. According to the plan, 20,000 units will be delivered tomorrow, and customs clearance procedures are already underway today."

"So we only have 20,000 units in stock?"

"Yes".

"It's only twelve o'clock now, and at this rate, before we close today, the remaining 20,000 yuan will be sold out."

"Well, so I'm here to discuss with you what to do, these consumers are crazy."

"No, I can't let this situation continue, I have to confirm with the company what to do, don't have an accident. Wait a minute, I'll make a call and tell you what to do in a moment."

……

"How's it going, has the sales situation in the United States been reported?" Dai Fuqian asked.

Although it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening during the Celestial Empire, Dai Fuqian was still in the office and did not go home.

"I made a few phone calls, and all the stores said that the sales were very good, but they didn't have time to accurately count the sales," said Dai Fuqian's secretary.

"The sales situation is very good, this is too abstract, if Mr. Jiang asks me, I can't give such a perfunctory answer, right? Who knows whether 10,000 units sold are particularly good, or 50,000 units are particularly good," Dai Fuqian was a little dissatisfied with this reply.

Although it has been several hours since the Gpad went on sale, Jiang Hui has not called himself to ask.

But if the leader doesn't ask, you don't ask, you have to be ready for the information that the leader wants to know.

You even have to take the initiative to report to the leader.

Obviously, the sales situation of GPAD must be a concern for Jiang Hui.

It's just out of confidence in the product that he didn't keep urging Dai Fuqian.

"Okay, I'll get in touch with the U.S. branch right away."

……

Korn Glory Mobile USA.

"The Los Angeles store wanted to prioritize restocking them, and they've already sold half of them."

"I've made several calls from Philadelphia asking if there's a way to get tomorrow's goods in advance this afternoon."

"More than 5,000 units have been sold in Detroit."

"Manhattan has reported that their store's inventory will not end today, and I hope we can give guidance."

……

There are less than 100 people in the headquarters of the entire Guanghui mobile phone in the United States, but the entire office area is full of phone calls one after another.

"The heads of each department come to the big conference room for an emergency meeting, which starts in five minutes," said Li Wenxing, head of the branch.

Li Wenxing is a department manager in charge of iPod sales that Guanghui Mobile recruited from Apple.

As a Chinese, although Li Wenxing is not yet 40 years old this year, his future at Apple basically ends here.

The Chinese ceiling, but it has always existed.

So when the headhunter found him and recommended him to the position of general manager of the US branch of Guanghui Mobile, he agreed without much hesitation.

Li Wenxing also lived up to expectations, assisting Dai Fuqian and Wang Mengyu in basically building the sales channel of Guanghui mobile phones in the United States in a short period of more than a year.

Now, the sales of Gpad reported by stores across the United States are better than everyone expected, and as the general manager of the American branch of Guanghui Mobile Phone, Li Wenxing is also a headache and happy.

"This is the case, everyone expresses their opinions and talks about what to do," Li Wenxing said, looking around at the senior management of the branch.

"Why don't we buy a Gpad after making an appointment online, just like when the Gphone was on sale?"

"We can also consider temporarily shortening the film business hours of each specialty store."

"Can we let the head office urgently transport another batch of goods by air?"

……

Everyone was talking nonsense, and all opinions seemed to be okay, but either the far water couldn't save the near fire, or the side effects were too great.

In the end, Li Wenxing ignored the fact that it was already twelve o'clock in the evening in the Celestial Empire, and directly called Jiang Hui, briefly reported it, and asked for instructions.

"Let's limit the purchase," Jiang Hui said after listening to Li Wenxing's statement.
