Chapter 578: Sunk Costs

In economics, there is a term called sunk cost, which means the cost of accomplishing something, but ultimately failing.

Take the little fat man as an example, he has spent 30,000 dollars in order to draw a dream, and if he gives up, the 30,000 dollars will be spent in vain, and this cost will sink to the bottom of the sea, so this is called sunk cost.

If the little fat man had known that he would not ship for $30,000, he would definitely not want to smoke a fantasy.

But now he has drawn $30,000, and if he gives up at this time, all the $30,000 will be wasted. This is absolutely unacceptable to the little fat man.

"Give me another 100!" In the end, the little fat man could only say with red eyes, like a gambler.

"Little one, why don't you buy more Kentero!" The grocery store owner probably couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to suggest.

"Why?" The little fat man asked puzzled.

"Because there are two dreams in my store, both hatched from Kentaro's eggs!" The boss said.

"Boss, you're metaphysics, it's not scientific, the official said it, it's all random, and it has nothing to do with Kentaylor!" The little fat man muttered.

"Then whatever you want...... the boss didn't bother to persuade him anymore, but the little fat man's expression changed and changed, and finally said, "Okay boss, can you help me get 1,000 Kentero?" ”

"Okay! It's just a phone call thing! The boss smiled, and then called Daqian, and after a while, someone sent 1,000 boxes of Kentello's pocket electronic pets over.

After all, asking for 1,000 boxes in one breath is a big list, and what you want is a daily unsalable pocket electronic pet like Kentyro, so Daqian naturally sent things over as quickly as possible.

"I don't believe it, there really is such a metaphysical ......" the little fat man muttered as he opened and hatched the first Kentero, and then there was nothing.

Soon, two or three hundred Kentaylo were all smashed.

"Look! It's all a waste of time! The little fat man sighed, and then activated another Kentaro with both hands.

The little fat man glanced at it slightly, and when he was about to throw this Kentaylo away, his eyebrows suddenly jumped.

Wait, I just saw something!

The little fat man grabbed this Kentyro in his hand, stared at the screen and looked at it carefully several times, and then the whole person jumped up in an instant.

"Hey, I'm in! I've got Kentyro!! ”、

"Phew! I've got a dream!! ”

The little fat man danced with his hands, happily grabbing this Kentyro and jumping wildly, and many buyers around him also gathered, looking at the little fat man with envy, he really hit the dream, which is also so lucky!

"Little one, do you want the rest of the Kentero? If you don't, I'll give you the money back! The boss saw that there were still more than 600 Kentaylo that had not been sold, and asked with some pain, if the little fat man didn't want it, then all these Kentaylo would be smashed in his hands.

"Yes! I'm going to do it all!! The little fat man felt that Kentello was simply his lucky star, and immediately bought them all, and the boss smiled.

He suddenly found that it didn't matter if the little fat man didn't want this batch of Kentello, because the customers around him were all looking at these Kentellos, and it seemed that they were not worried about selling.

In the end, the little fat man returned to the door of the house sad and happy, happy that he finally got into the dream, sad is that he has accumulated almost 40,000 pocket electronic pets on his hands, these things must not be able to serve themselves.

And once the pocket electronic pet is activated,The value will be greatly reduced,Little fat people don't know what to do with these pocket TV pets。

It's absolutely impossible to take it home, if your mother finds out that these are free, and you spend $40,000 to buy pocket electronic pets, you will definitely be killed by your mother.

So the little fat man could only bring these activated pocket electronic pets back to the company.

Because the number of 40,000 units is so huge, the little fat man has to hire a small car to help him pull things over.

"What are you doing with so many pocket electronic pets?" Conan West, the editor-in-chief of Game for Life, asked with a frown.

"It's nothing, just borrow the company's warehouse to ......store it for me," the little fat man sighed.

"You're going to smoke Dreams!" Conan West is not stupid, seeing so many pocket electronic pets, he naturally understands what the little fat man is doing.

"Hmm!" The little fat man nodded.

"Did you get it?" Conan West asked curiously.

"Hit!" The little fat man smiled and took out his dream, and then told the story that had just happened, Conan West immediately said with some envy, "Yes, you only spent less than $40,000 to get the dream, you are at least much luckier than those who spent more than $100,000!" ”

"Hey! It's just like thinking about it that I'm more comfortable, otherwise I really want to die! The little fat man sighed.

"But Kentyro is too metaphysical!" Conan West's eyes rolled for a moment, and then he said, "You still have more than 600 inactive Kentaylo left, why don't you sell them all to me!" ”

"Okay!" The little fat man actually regretted taking back all these Kentyros, did he still expect another dream to come out of the remaining Kentaro? Isn't that a waste of money?

So when he heard that Conan West was going to take over, he immediately agreed without hesitation.

Conan West smiled, then took a Kentello in his hand, activated it with a button, and a pet egg with an auspicious cloud icon immediately appeared on the electronic screen......

"Hey, I seem to have been hit too!!" Conan West said with a wicked smile.

"Oh my God! What evil have I done? "Seeing Conan West's first hand, he shot into his soul and opened a dream, and the little fat man really wanted to commit suicide.

But fortunately, when Conan West drove all the remaining Kentyro, it was just such a dream that made the little fat man a little more comfortable, but it was still very uncomfortable.

Why did he spend more than 30,000 dollars to get a dream, and Conan West cut his own leak, and he actually got a dream!

Just when the little fat man was worried about why he was worried, a smile appeared on the corner of Conan West's mouth and said, "Little fat man, I think it's time for our magazine to publish a supplement!" The title is called, Kentael's Occult Metaphysics, what do you think? ”

————————————

"Chairman, it's because of this issue of the magazine that Kentaylor, who had the most serious backlog, instead emptied all the inventory overnight, if it weren't for the number of Kentaylo sent by the head office, I'm afraid the sales would be second only to Pikachu!" Jack Orlens smiled wryly and explained the reason to Boss Jia.

It turned out that after the release of the supplement to "Game Life", everyone believed the rumors that there was a high chance of fantasy in Kentello.

"These guys...... I really found ......" Jack Orlens thought it was just an accident, but Boss Jia knew that it was a mistake by Daqian.

When I set up a dream, I originally set it up for every 10,000 units.

However, due to a bug in the program, about three weeks ago, 100 units were set up in one go.

Because the same kind of Pokemon were produced together, all 100 Fantasy fell into Kentaylor.

As a result, when Daqian found out about this problem, all of this batch of Kentaro had been sent to the rice market. However, at this time, Kentello entered a state of serious unsalable, and all his brains were piled up in the warehouse, and no one sold them in a short time.

However, it was discovered by the editor-in-chief of the game in the end, and it was written into the game guide in a grand manner, which led to a big sale of Kentello, and then buyers really found out that the probability of Kentello shipping was high.

So this is not metaphysics at all, but a pot of programmers who cheat on their fathers.

But Boss Jia obviously won't expose all this, but secretly ordered Daqian to let them more than double the probability of Kentaro's shipment in a solid manner, and then mass-produce Kentaro.

As a result, in the next year or two, the sales of other Pocket Cyber Pets plummeted, but Kentero's sales remained the same, and eventually surpassed Pikachu to become the most popular Poke Cyber Monster.

Later, this gradually evolved into a meme, and whenever there was a metaphysical gacha related, players habitually mocked "You think you're Kentaro!" ”

And the low-level Pokemon Kentaylor, who was not very popular in the previous life, has also become one of the most popular Pokemon in this era, no way, the people of the world have too much affection for Kentaylor!
