Chapter 111: Opening of the business
"What did the manager say?"
Seeing that Fang Ye finished making the call, Qiu Hong took back the walkie-talkie in his hand.
"Well, the manager said that some more security guards will be sent over."
Fang Ye looked at the crowd outside the store with palpitations.
This is No. 112, Dadong Street, Beijiang Economic Development Zone, Donghai, China, and will be the second "hard-core technology" direct store opened in the entire Donghai City.
After announcing the upcoming opening three days ago, more than 200 fans rushed to the small square in front of the store and lined up for three days.
Eating, drinking, playing, all kinds of colorful tents were almost all set up in the small square on the right, and if it had not been stated that tents were not allowed to be set up on the left side of the small square, then the whole square would have been occupied with tents as early as three days ago. Rao is like this, countless fans from all over the country quickly gathered in the small square, and the number of people broke more than 1,500 two days ago.
The number of people up to now......
Fang Ye couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle when he thought that when he walked over, the lines formed by the black presses along the way had all extended to the streets beyond Dadong Street. There were so many people that even the police were forced to come out to maintain order, and the number of security guards urgently dispatched exceeded 200 people, so they could barely maintain order here.
In such a crowded queue, even in the heyday of Apple, the queue for the opening of the directly operated store was far less than at this time. Fang Ye knows very well that now the "Ark" mobile phones are almost in short supply, and if you want to buy a mobile phone on the official website, unless you are extremely lucky, there is only a supply of 10,000 units per week, how can it meet so much demand.
If you choose to make a reservation, the number of orders plus overseas totals more than 50 million units. If you want to get it, you don't know the Year of the Monkey, and you can only wait for the construction of factories in Vietnam and other countries, and the completion of production line assembly in factories such as Foxconn, otherwise the production volume will never be able to increase. After all, the quality requirements of "Ark" mobile phones are extremely strict, and many assembly manufacturers simply cannot meet the needs.
Then if you want to get the "Ark" mobile phone, there is only one remaining way. It is to arrive at the directly managed store and make a purchase. However, there are less than five directly operated stores in China, one in Donghai, one in Shenzhen, one in Chengdu, one in Beijing, and one in Nanjing, which is completely unable to meet the huge shopping demand.
It's seven o'clock in the evening.
Unlike Apple's direct stores, which choose to open in the morning, "hardcore" direct stores prefer to choose the evening.
Quite simply, this is one of the reasons why many fans love to arrive at the scene.
"NewAge" holographic projection device.
Every time a direct-sale store opens, holographic projection equipment will be used to cheer and publicize, and the expensive price of holographic projection equipment is not accessible to ordinary people, and only when the direct-sale store opens, can you see one or two. Even if it's just to see holographic projections that you can only see in movies. There will also be countless people who choose to watch it.
"Doodoo ......"
The phone rang again, Fang Ye had no choice but to take out the mobile phone he had just put in his arms, walked to the side to answer it for a while, and then walked back with a wry smile.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Fang Ye's wry smile, Qiu Hong asked curiously.
"Hey, my girlfriend wants a front line for the nameplate."
As soon as he said this, Qiu Hong understood.
"You tell your girlfriend, you can't help it."
"She didn't believe me. And what can you do with her? Spreading his hands helplessly, Fang Ye also expressed helplessness.
As an employee of a directly managed store. There is indeed a certain benefit of buying a machine, that is, you can get a medium machine at a nine-percent discount on the original price. However, in order to prevent employees from colluding with scalpers, employees can only buy a machine with their ID cards, and all the purchase procedures must be strictly in accordance with the regulations, and they need to arrive at the scene with their ID cards in hand to queue up to buy.
Truth be told, he was one of the first employees. But he didn't have the ability to get a top entrance nameplate, that thing had already been sent out, as far as he knew, the price of the top entrance nameplate had been hyped up to two thousand by scalpers, which was crazy...... But there is no shortage of rich people in this world. There are still people who buy it at such an unbelievable price.
There is still an hour before the official opening, and many fans and buyers gathered in the square, some people began to shout and sing, a song officially pushed out by "hard-core technology", after being sung by the company's virtual spokesperson "Coco", it suddenly became crazy on the Internet.
Among the many people in line, there is definitely no lack of fascination with "Coco", many of them are wearing T-shirts with "Cocoa" portraits, "Coco" hats, key chains, backpacks, etc., and even the cups for drinking water are also printed with "Cocoa", Fang Ye feels that the whole person is almost "Coco".
Shaking his head, he couldn't understand the crazy attitude of this group of fans, in his opinion, even if that "Coco" was indeed cute, but after all, it was just a virtual character, how could he have such a crazy obsession with this kind of virtual character? Fang Ye glanced pitifully at the group of crazy fans outside the store, the reason why he was so obsessed with a virtual character was probably because he didn't have a girlfriend, right? People who don't have a girlfriend are so sad and lamentable.
After laughing at those crazy fans, Fang Ye's mobile phone rang suddenly, and when he took it out, it turned out to be a text message from his girlfriend.
"Hey......"
With a sigh, Fang Ye turned to Qiu Hong and said, "Brother Hong, I'll go out." ”
"Well, go and get back."
Qiu Hong waved his hand and motioned for Fang Ye to go and return quickly. Now the manager of the store is out, and the remaining 30 or so employees are sorting out gifts, and if the manager comes back and sees someone going out to be lazy, he will definitely be scolded.
"I see."
Patting Qiu Hong on the shoulder, Fang Ye quickly left the door of the store, and hurriedly walked to the opposite side of the street along the passage that deliberately flowed out, under the curious eyes of the people in line.
Of course, "Hardcore Technology" attaches great importance to the opening of the second directly-operated store in Donghai City, and for this reason, it has connected with the municipal government, and a few hours before the opening, Dadong Street will be temporarily blocked to prevent vehicles from entering and exiting the possibility of accidents. Across the street, there are also many people queuing.
Although there were neon lights all around, it was finally more than seven o'clock in the evening, and it was really not so easy to find his girlfriend in the dark crowd.
Fortunately, he was wearing a clerk's costume with a LOGO pattern of "hard-core technology", which was a bit eye-catching, and before Fang Ye could find his girlfriend, he heard a familiar voice shouting in the distance: "Here, Fang Ye, this ...... here"
Turning her head, a woman in her twenties was waving her arms and excitedly greeting Fang Ye.
"Hey, what are you calling me out for?"
Fang Ye walked over helplessly.
"Why, I can't call you yet?"
His girlfriend Yan Jiaojiao's personality is relatively strong, and when she heard her boyfriend's complaining appearance, she immediately raised her eyebrows.
"No, I mean...... You should know I'm busy right now. ”
Fang Ye really didn't dare to make his girlfriend angry, and hurriedly explained: "If the manager comes back and doesn't see me in the store, he will be criticized." ”
"He dares!"
Yan Jiaojiao said arrogantly: "If he criticizes you, you let him come to me!" ”
My mother, I got hit in the head by a car to let the manager come to you!
Fang Ye's heart was full of anger and amusement, in order to avoid his girlfriend being really entangled again, he had to suppress his impatience and said, "Okay, Jiaojiao, what's the matter?" ”
"Come, let me introduce you, this is my colleagues Jiang Zihan and Ah Yue."
Yan Jiaojiao didn't say anything immediately, but leaned out of the way and introduced the two women who were also queuing behind her.
In fact, there was no need for Yan Jiaojiao to say more, when she came over, Fang Ye found the beautiful woman behind her...... In other words, Jiang Zihan in Yan Jiaojiao's mouth.
If Fang Ye has a score in his heart, then his girlfriend can score a 6 in terms of appearance, and this woman named Jiang Zihan can score at least 8 points. How could such a beauty turn a blind eye.
Uh, as for the ...... next to her Who, didn't see it.
This world of sad and cruel faces. (To be continued.) )
PS: Moved, I sent a sentence yesterday, I really didn't expect there to be such a sincere book friend, it really made Lao Yu feel emotional, there is true love in the world, not tomorrow today, who said there is no true love now? That's the truth! This is the original words of the book friend: "Yuda is worried about whether the two chapters of the daily update will cause a burden to the majority of readers, but it is too kind." Don't worry, if you can't bear it, I'll go to Baidu to take a look. It won't worry you. ”
