Chapter Seventy-Four: Abandonment of the International Market

Columbia, USA.

"Customs restricts the import of ''S-1'? Because of the monopoly case? What the? My shipment was repatriated? FedEx canceled 'S-1' logistics? FedEx of dogshi!! I cursed him for going out and stepping on a banana peel and breaking his nose and eating a stray dog stinky shi three days ago!! F***！！ ”

"Hovis, what about consumer enthusiasm for the 'S-1'?"

"Boss! It's 8 o'clock or 9 o'clock and our store will open on time, and the enthusiasm of consumers for 'S-1' is so high that dozens of people outside are waiting outside the gate and the number of people will break 100 by the time it opens, and I even think we can raise the price a little higher! ”

"Hehe~~ I think so too!"

"Uh~ What do you mean, boss, I don't understand!"

"Listen, Hovis, the price of the first 50 'S-1' devices remains the same, it is still the $1,499 that was previously announced, but only 50 units are sold today, and the price will be raised to $2,499 when it opens the next day."

"A full $1,000 increase? Are you sure? Won't it be too expensive? Are consumers willing to accept it? ”

"Hmph~~ I even think it's too low Hovis, maybe the price will be raised later!"

"What?"

"Damn! XlouS has fully withdrawn from the international market, Hovis, do you know what that means? This means that every time we sell an additional S-1, there will be one less, and it will only get more and more expensive in the future, and when the XlouS monopoly lawsuit is resolved, when will the price come down! ”

"Alright! Boss, I see! ”

It was around 8:30 a.m. local time on a commercial pedestrian street in the state, but at such an early stage, there was a long queue of more than 70 people on the pedestrian street, all of whom came to buy the hottest electronic product of the moment, namely the wearable smartphone device "S-1".

This offline store is the only unofficial "S-1" outlet in the entire state of Columbia, because there is no official regional flagship store at all, and after half a month of renovation, it is finally about to open today.

Although people can place an order on the XlouS official website, some people are still more willing to buy offline, however, some people queuing up here were originally consumers who placed orders on the XlouS official website, but after receiving the information of a full refund, they were not happy, these consumers have long been impatient to get an "S-1" device, and it is undoubtedly collapsed when they receive a refund, and they can only come to the offline agent sales point to buy, when they see the price of 1499 US dollars, they just want to scold. It was $300 more than the official price, but despite this, they chose to queue up to buy it.

Since seeing the "S-1", some consumers have no love for the iPhone anymore, and the additional $300 is not unacceptable!

"What? Only 50 units? Are you kidding? There are more than 100 people in line here! ”

The consumers in line learned that the store was out of stock less than half an hour after it opened, and all kinds of dissatisfied voices were heard in an instant.

"I'm really sorry, I'm so sorry, we didn't know it would sell so quickly." As the person in charge of the sales point, Hovis explained with a blushing face and a heartbeat, "Because XlouS is facing a monopoly case, 'S-1' is therefore restricted by customs, and if you sell one, you will have one less, you can find out about XlouS's latest announcement, this damn Chinese company has withdrawn from the international market, but we have mobilized a batch of goods from the Manhattan main store to transport it, and it will be sold on time tomorrow, but the price may change, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry, everyone will come back tomorrow."

Under Hovis's "sincere" apology like a nod, the consumer sighed and dispersed helplessly, while the first 50 consumers who bought the equipment naturally left with a smile.

What they didn't know was that in the warehouse of the point of sale, there were still 300 S-1s being housed at the moment.

It can be said that in the past month, based on the world, the matrix technology XlouS, a high-tech company from China, has basically not left the public's field of vision, if there is a big tide in this month, then XlouS is undoubtedly a veritable "tide" during this time.

Matrix Technology has successfully made big news around the world again and again, and attracted global attention, and the movement is not ordinarily big. Not long ago, Matrix Technology announced its withdrawal from the international market, and all the office personnel in major regions of the international market were recalled.

The Wall Street Journal pointed out that the decision of Matrix Technology will directly or indirectly lose $23.5 billion in annual net profit, which is undoubtedly an astronomical amount, but Wall Street still emphasizes that even so, XlouS's annual profit is still eye-catching.

The outside world is puzzled by Ren Hong's decision-making, and the members of this company, from the top to the grass-roots employees, are almost all young people, such a move seems to have the unique impulse of young people, so similar, it seems that there are traces of such an "impulsive" decision.

Hainan, Matrix Technology Headquarters, Senior Conference Room.

"International market companies will definitely not give up, and today's abandonment is a strategic adjustment." Ren Hong looked at the company executives sitting in the conference room, and he smiled: "XlouS lacks everything, but it is not short of money." ”

Everyone laughed instantly, it is true, other companies are thinking about how to increase revenue every day, how to make a profit and break their brains, but not in XlouS, Matrix Technology has too many profit points, and the real-time online translation alone can make the company live more comfortably than most of the so-called giants in the world. Money is at your fingertips for this company, but this company has not been established with the primary purpose of making money, and the gene that Ren Hong gave XlouS is to change the world, not a tool to make money, otherwise why not go public to make money!

"I won't be involved in the specific details of the company's operations, and the CEO can lead the company's operations." Ren Hong said, he glanced at Gao Yue, who was sitting in the front row of the side, and then looked at the executives of various departments, and continued: "Here, I mainly talk about the company's general direction and strategic adjustment. Next, the company's main direction and goal is to dig deep into the domestic market and establish our own channels and marketing network, which may be very difficult and will encounter a lot of resistance, but we have money to invest, and there are two cash cows of instant online mutual translation and Xiaoyou assistant, even if other departments do not make a penny, we are enough to burn. No matter what kind of competitor it is, whoever dares to obstruct us, then use real money to burn it, see who burns fiercely, and see who can't stand it first! ”

"Also, take back a sentence I said on the day of the press conference. From now on, the company will establish 'S-1' offline marketing channels, directly operated stores, and regional flagship stores in China. Ren Hong's face was not red and his heart was not beating, but at the press conference, he swore that he was facing the eyes of the world and threatened that there was only one "S-1" direct store in the world, that is, the official flagship store of the company's headquarters.

The executives present were stunned by Ren Hong's words, and the chairman really didn't treat money as money. However, none of the people present objected, nor did they have the ability to object, although Ren Hong basically did not care about the daily operation of the company, but everyone here knew very well who was the real owner of this technology company.
