Chapter 638: Scalpers are infested
When many people walked to the offline experience store of Phantom Immortal Technology, they were dumbfounded.
What's going on?
This scene reminds people of the pomp and circumstance of disaster relief in ancient times, and the long procession stretched for hundreds of meters.
This is the rhythm of thousands of people queuing.
It's only about 7 p.m., and it's still more than 2 hours before the next day's sale.
Are there so many idlers now?
These people in line, in addition to young people in their twenties and thirties, can still see forty or fifty-year-old uncles and aunts, are these uncles and aunts also so keen on electronic products?
This situation does not appear in a certain city, but in all cities in China, as long as there is an offline experience store of Phantom Fairy Technology.
There are nearly 3,000 offline experience stores in the country, and although there are not so many people queuing outside the offline experience stores in some small cities, there are at least two or three hundred people.
What is this concept?
Those who have seen this scene at the moment have not realized that this is a nationwide phenomenon, and are simply amazed by the strong attraction of the "Phantom" phone.
After being surprised, they began to hesitate again.
With so many people queuing, is there so much stock in the store?
Wouldn't it be tragic if you waited in line all night and didn't buy anything?
Outside an offline experience store on Chunxi Road in Rongcheng, a young man with a small flat head who had just arrived pulled the young man at the end of the line and said, "Dude, why are you in line so early?"
The young man glared back and said, "Brother, are you sarcastic about me? Don't you see that there are nearly a thousand people lined up in front of you? I'm too late." ”
The little flat-headed young man coughed and sneered, "Dude, you're at least earlier than me, aren't you?"
"That's just as well!"
The little flat-headed young man said: "Dude, aren't you worried about a problem? If the goods in this experience store are limited and sold out when they arrive here, won't it be in vain?"
The young man smiled bitterly: "Everyone knows what you said, but who is willing to give up? Besides, in a city as big as Rongcheng, there is only one offline experience store, and Phantom Immortal Technology can't just put a few hundred Phantom mobile phones here, right?"
"That's just as well. Then I'll be lined up. The little flat-headed young man said, "Dude, why do you say there are so many people in line here? I just came here after work, I thought I was still early, how do you know this situation." ”
The young man said a little proudly: "You don't know yet, right? Since the end of the new product launch conference of Phantom Fairy Technology this morning, the Internet has exploded directly, and many people are clamoring to buy a Phantom mobile phone." ”
"Of course I do. The little flat-headed young man said with a thick neck.
The young man glanced at it and said, "You know a fart!" Ignorant netizens will see this as pure excitement, but for those who are business-minded, they can see huge business opportunities in it. ”
The little flat-headed young man was stunned and asked, "What business opportunity?"
"Ni Mei, are you from Huaxia? I haven't even heard of such a magical species as a cattle?" said the young man with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel.
The little flat-headed young man suddenly had a look on his face.
"Nima, Lao Tzu said why so many people are queuing, and someone is ready to take the opportunity to make a profit. The little flat-headed young man said indignantly.
The young man shrugged his shoulders and said: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, people are profit-seeking, who made the phantom mobile phone so sought after, and the resources are so scarce?"
The little flathead opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute it.
That's right, others are willing to buy the phantom phone and sell it, what can you do?
The main reason is that this mobile phone is very easy to sell, even if the price is increased by one or two thousand, it is estimated that countless people will rush to buy it.
There is one of the most important factors in this, even if it is purchased at a higher price, this phone is worth the price!
"I think Phantom Immortal Technology should make a plan to prevent reselling mobile phones, just like the state cracks down on scalpers, and can't let them be so rampant. The little flat-headed young man said.
The young man sneered and said, "To put it lightly, the state has cracked down on scalpers for so many years, but now it is different or does it still exist? This is determined by the relationship between market supply and demand, not by policies and laws." If you want to crack down on these scalpers, the only way is to completely solve the contradiction between supply and demand, and the scalpers will naturally disappear. ”
The young man with a small flat head said helplessly: "This is the reason, but it is impossible for Phantom Fairy Technology to meet the domestic demand for mobile phones now, right? Not to mention that there are still foreign countries that meet the needs of the country, and this wave of mobile phone replacement craze may not be so easy to pass." ”
Arguments like this can be found in many places, even more radical rhetoric.
But no matter how you talk about it, those who should line up continue to queue, and the number of people queuing outside each experience store continues to increase.
Unlike the offline experience store of Phantom Fairy Technology, the Apple store, which was crowded with people after the launch of new products in the past, is now deserted and miserable.
Well, it's a bit of an exaggeration to say this, after all, it's a new product launch of Apple 0, and as a leader in the mobile phone industry, there is still a large group of supporters.
Although tomorrow is the official sale time, there are also people coming to inquire today.
It's just that compared with the past, the popularity of Apple's mobile phones has been greatly reduced.
After all, brain-dead people like the one who likes apples for no reason are only a few.
......
As soon as Shen Bing returned home from work, the phone rang.
His first reaction was that an acquaintance was looking for him to go through the back door to buy a phantom mobile phone, for example, this afternoon, Zhou Jingchuan called and asked him to find a way to get him a few mobile phones, saying that a few buddies wanted to buy them.
Shen Bing is not a person with a single brain, so he agreed after listening to it.
But this time Shen Bing found that he had guessed wrong, and it was Wang Sheng who called.
Didn't you just come out of the company?
With such doubts, Shen Bing answered the phone: "Lao Wang, is there something wrong?"
"Boss! We underestimate the charm of the Phantom Phone. Wang Sheng was excited with a hint of apprehension.
Shen Bing was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter? Isn't it a good thing to be attractive?"
Wang Sheng said helplessly: "Of course, it is a good thing to be charming, but if it is too big, it is also very troublesome." For example, now, we have prepared a month's worth of goods, and it may be sold out tomorrow, and then our offline experience store can be closed. ”
Shen Bing was suddenly dumbfounded, what is the situation?
"Don't we have two million units in stock, and now it's only sold in China, so it's not so terrifying, right?"
Wang Shengdao: "Under normal circumstances, in the domestic market, the stock of two million units can almost last for about a week, and when Apple's mobile phone is the hottest, the domestic sales of its listing week cannot reach such data." However, every time a new product of Apple's mobile phone is launched, the gap with the previous generation of mobile phones is not very large, and it is difficult for users to find a reason to change their phones, so such data is normal. And our phantom mobile phone is different, it is a mobile phone with all mobile phones today with a multi-layer technical generation gap, people holding a phantom mobile phone and holding other mobile phones is a completely different experience, which has a reason to support the replacement of mobile phones, even if you just bought a new mobile phone last month, as long as the economic conditions allow, users will still choose to change a mobile phone for themselves. ”
Shen Bing immediately suddenly realized, this is indeed the truth!
Wang Sheng continued: "The information fed back from offline experience stores in various places just now shows that there are currently more than 500 people queuing outside each offline experience store on average. In other words, as soon as all the experience stores open tomorrow morning, they will be able to snatch 500,000 mobile phones in a swarm, which is still limited to each person to buy one mobile phone, and the number of people in line will not increase. ”
Shen Bing frowned slightly, and said, "Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be so many people queuing, right?"
Wang Shengdao: "I personally think that there should be people here who are ready to hoard goods and raise prices to make profits." ”
Shen Bing asked, "What are you going to do?"
Wang Sheng said: "It depends on whether you plan to curb this phenomenon, boss." In fact, fundamentally, this situation has no effect on us, but it makes people feel that our company's products are extremely in-demand, which is not a bad thing. ”
Shen Bing said: "But in this way, many of our users will not be able to experience our products for the first time, or they will need to pay a higher price to enjoy them, which is contrary to our original intention." I think we have to do more, otherwise the fire will burn on us under the deliberate guidance of some people. ”
Wang Sheng said: "It is not realistic to completely eliminate this phenomenon, but we can carry out real-name purchases." Each person can only purchase the Phantom Phone once in a certain period of time, and only for themselves. ”
Shen Bing thought for a while and said, "It's no problem to use the real-name system, but it's a bit difficult for a strong person to buy it only by myself." For example, if someone is going to give gifts to their relatives and friends, do you ask them to bring them to the experience store to buy them on the spot? ”
Wang Sheng said helplessly: "But if there is no such restriction, then what's the point of the real-name system?"
Shen Bing suddenly said, "I have an idea!"
"What's the idea?"
Shen Bing smiled and said: "When we sell mobile phones, we can require users to activate them on the spot! If we buy a phantom mobile phone for gifts or other reasons, we can use the pre-activation method! Pre-activation is to activate with the identity of the purchaser, but the buyer must deliver the mobile phone to the user within two hours and reactivate it, otherwise the mobile phone will be forcibly bound to the original pre-activated identity." The company does not accept unbundling business at this time, and the business will not be opened until a month later. ”
Wang Sheng immediately understood Shen Bing's intentions, and asked suspiciously, "Two hours? a month?"
