Chapter 58: Hunger Marketing
"No, no......" The captain shook his head, "It's too expensive, Qin." For $10,000, we can all buy three machine guns of the same caliber! β
Qin Tian just spread his hands, and then dismantled the machine gun and loaded it into the back compartment of the pickup truck.
"Eight thousand dollars!" The captain shouted from behind.
Bertrand secretly glared at Qin Tian as he cleaned up the machine gun.
Qin Tian ignored Bertrand and replied, "Captain, just like I said...... This is imported, it's not for me to have the final say! β
"Nine thousand dollars!" The captain did not give up: "We can only offer this price at most!" β
Bertrand almost agreed for Qin Tian with his mouth half-open, but was stopped by Qin Tian's glare.
"Captain!" Qin Tian replied: "No one would do such a thing, buy 9,000 yuan for 10,000 dollars and sell it...... In that case, the 'ghost' would go bankrupt, and my boss would not have agreed. Right, boss? β
Bertrand, known as "The Boss", nodded with difficulty and replied helplessly: "Of course, no one would do such a stupid thing, Captain!" β
When Qin Tian and Bertrand got into the car and started the engine, the captain scolded: "Fuck, I hate white people!" $10,000, I want it! β
Bertrand was so surprised that his mouth couldn't close, and his two eyes were round, as if he was saying to Qin Tian...... Ten thousand dollars! One for ten thousand dollars! Are you kidding?!
Of course, this is not a joke, Qin Tian opened the car door and got out of the car, and said to the captain: "This is a very wise choice, captain!" β
"I hope so!" The captain replied, "I hope it's worth the price!" β
"Of course!" Qin Tian said: "Definitely worth the money!" β
Facts have also proved that Qin Tian's "value for money" is not empty words...... Qin Tian specially designed a guerrilla tactic for this anti-aircraft machine gun, which he named SG18.
"We need six men for this machine gun!" Qin Tian said: "This is exactly the standard personnel of a pickup truck!" If a prototype machine gun was used, they would have to stay in the car and shoot! β
The captain nodded in agreement, the prototype anti-aircraft machine gun weighed 93 kg, and disassembly, handling and assembly were big problems.
"Staying in the car and shooting, of course, has the advantage of maneuvering!" Qin Tian said: "But at the same time, there are also shortcomings that the target is big and cannot be hidden!" β
There is no doubt about this, because the enemy is exposed to an entire pickup truck, not just a machine gun...... Enemies can spot pickups from afar and locate them.
"But with the SG18 machine gun it's different!" Qin Tian said: "If there is a small hill......
Saying that, Qin Tian looked around, and after finding a small mound two hundred meters away, he raised his head and said, "For example, there is ...... You can hide the pickup behind a small mound, then disassemble the machine gun and camouflage it on the mound and wait for the enemy to appear! And then ......"
Saying that, Qin Tian made a shooting pose.
The captain was silent.
He knew that Qin Tian's statement was theoretically feasible, because the new machine gun was light and could be deployed in a very short time, and at the same time, it was much easier to camouflage a machine gun than a pickup truck.
Here's the problem...... His soldiers could not do such synergy.
Qin Tian saw the captain's concerns and replied, "The matter of training will be handed over to me, I'm an instructor, aren't I?" β
There was no doubt about the captain.
As he spoke, Major Deville joined in, after all, buying a machine gun for $10,000 was not a trivial matter.
"Qin!" After listening to the captain's introduction, Deville asked Qin Tian, "I want to know how many of these machine guns you have!" β
Here's the point...... Just like Qin Tian said before, Deville didn't want this kind of machine gun to fall into the hands of others.
"Twelve!" Qin Tian replied.
"I want it all!" DeVille replied.
"No, Major!" Qin Tian objected: "We still have to keep a few for our own use!" β
"I want it all!" De Ville accentuated: "Twelve, and you can't import this machine gun anymore without my permission, understand?" β
"But the major ......"
"Tell your boss!" Deville glanced at Bertrand and said, "This is a matter between me and him, and he will know what to do!" β
Qin Tian relayed Deville's words to Bertrand, and Bertrand said in embarrassment: "Okay, Major! But...... I don't dare to guarantee that others will import this machine gun! β
"The others have nothing to do with you!" Major Deville said, "But you can't, unless we need to, understand?" β
"Understood, Major!"
"And this tactic!" Major Deville said to Qin Tian, "Start training tomorrow!" β
In this respect, Major Deville still has a certain strategic vision, and he hopes to maintain a certain advantage in equipment for his team, at least for some time to come.
What Major Deville didn't know was that all of this was actually a bureau set up by Qin Tian.
As soon as the pickup truck driven by Qin Tian drove out of the barracks, Bertrand cheered: "Wow, ten thousand dollars...... Can you believe that? One is ten thousand dollars, and we can produce eight a day, which means that we will have eighty thousand dollars a day, which is crazy, man, crazy! I saw piles of dollars waiting for us in front of me......"
"Can you be quiet?" Qin Tian said: "If they hear it, they will know that this is our own thing!" β
"Yes, head!" Bertrand held back, but couldn't hide his excitement: "We just sold twelve, what's next?" β
"Now wait for the effect it will cause!" Qin Tian replied.
"Effect?" Bertrand was puzzled.
"Deville's army!" Qin Tian explained: "They will definitely put their machine guns on the battlefield and win, understand? β
βYESοΌβ "Then everybody knew how powerful the machine gun was, and they all wanted to buy it, and then we could ......release the machine guns in large numbers," Bertrand said.
"No, release in small batches!"
"Why?"
"Hunger Marketing, Bet!" Qin Tian replied while driving: "You must grasp the psychology of customers, and release them in large quantities...... They will think that they can buy it at any time if there is no shortage in the market, so they will not have a sense of urgency to buy. But if it's released in small batches......"
"Everybody's rushing to buy it, isn't it?"
"Yes!" Qin Tian said: "They will be worried about what if there are no more machine guns than the enemy in the war? What if you can't buy a machine gun then? So they will choose to spend more money on stockpiles, so their purchasing power will be greater than the actual demand, and much greater! β
"Great idea, head!" Bertrand exclaimed, "I knew it was the right choice to follow you!" β
