Chapter 454: Sold Out
A few days went by in a flash!
August 5, 2018.
This day is a very special day for netizens in China and even around the world.
Because this morning, at eight o'clock in China time, the virtual technology company under the Dream Group will officially start pre-selling the magical virtual consciousness helmet on the official website.
There are three models of virtual helmets with different prices, each model has only one million units, and the sales prices are: 10,000 RMB, 50,000 RMB, 80,000 RMB, first come, first served!
At the same time, Zhumeng Group has also arranged 100 physical sales stores of virtual consciousness helmets in more than 10 provinces and cities across the country.
Such physical sales stores are only owned by Chinese cities, and physical sales stores from other countries around the world have not yet had time to be established.
However, with Monica's help, sales outlets have been established one after another in various countries around the world.
At the same time, Zhumeng Group has also acquired a number of technology factories dedicated to the production of virtual consciousness helmets.
The production technology of the virtual consciousness helmet is not complicated, except for the core technology chip used to connect the system in the helmet, the rest is a relatively comfortable helmet to wear.
Therefore, this kind of helmet can be mass-produced, millions of units per day, or even more is not a problem, and the production cost is very low, even the highest price of the virtual helmet, the cost is less than 500 yuan, which can be said to be an absolute profit!
Through these days of preparation, the inventory of virtual helmets has also exceeded 10 million units.
Of course, in order to keep hungry sales, only three million units were announced to the outside world for pre-sales at the beginning.
Once the virtual helmet is sold to the outside world, there will definitely be competitors to imitate it, study the technology, of course, this kind of thing does not have to worry about piracy fakes, even if a competitor cracks the core technology chip of the virtual helmet, as long as the system is not authorized, the other party's helmet is useless even if it is done the same, and it cannot land in the virtual world at all.
In addition to these, according to the suggestions of some netizens, in addition to virtual helmets, more advanced virtual warehouses are also being designed and developed.
This kind of virtual warehouse allows players to sleep directly in it, without worrying about other people's disturbances, and of course, the price will be higher.
It is expected to be officially launched in early September!
At this time, Chu Feng took the amoeba, turned into Ye Xichen, and appeared near the physical sales store of a virtual helmet in Hwaseong.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Chu Feng held a fritter in his hand and nibbled on it as he walked.
As soon as he approached the physical sales store, he was shocked by the long queue at the entrance of the physical store!
In the early morning, the doors of the sales store were not opened, and the number of netizens queuing at the entrance of the store exceeded 3,000 meters.
With such a long formation, you can't imagine the shock unless you see it with your own eyes.
The atmosphere at the scene was so hot that I can't describe it in words.
"Hey. I said brother, can you not cut in line, don't you see that the big guys are all queuing? As soon as you come, stand in front of me, what do you mean?" Chu Feng was still holding a fritter in his hand, and was sighing at the hot atmosphere of the scene, when a lewd man with glasses in his twenties behind him patted him on the shoulder and said impatiently.
"Uh-uh, I'm sorry, I don't mean to cut in line, I'm just a soy sauce maker, so many of you are queuing up here, and you may not be able to buy it, why don't you book online? Isn't that a lot more convenient?" Chu Feng asked casually.
"Brother, at first glance, you don't know anything about the popularity of virtual helmets, you don't know, at eight o'clock in the morning, the official website of Zhumeng has just opened a pre-sale channel, and in less than a minute, millions of virtual helmets have all been ordered, damn, it's not even a minute, it's all booked, it's crazy!"
"That's it, those brutes on the Internet are so frustrated, I'm a few seconds late! I can only try my luck here, I didn't expect there to be so many people, and I don't know if I can buy it!"
"You guys aren't the most angry, Lao Tzu got up at six o'clock this morning and stayed in front of the computer, and he was ready to grab it in seconds with the official website open, and he didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and the network card was at a critical moment, and the most heartbreaking thing was that one of my roommates was a few seconds faster than my hand, and he grabbed it, I didn't grab it, I was heartbroken, Lao Tie!"
"You don't know, the group of cattle at the front, it is said that they were guarding where at twelve o'clock last night, and they stayed all night, and it is said that they were guarding in the physical store while opening the mobile phone official website to prepare for the second robbery, and they are completely prepared with both hands, it's too animal, I am so knowledgeable, this virtual helmet is really impossible to buy with money!"
"No way, who told Chu Shen to pretend to be forced in the live broadcast room every day, so that netizens also want to pretend to be forced, a large number of water friends want to follow Chu Shen to cultivate immortals in the virtual world, it is completely a monk with more porridge and less porridge, this thing has always come out after waiting for so long, I didn't expect it to be bought, you said that the big guys can't buy it, the point is that some people buy it to show off in front of you, it's just too much!"
"It's all Chu Shen's fault, you said that he was going to pre-sell and didn't have a little more inventory, I heard that now some scalpers have got virtual helmets, and they will sell them at ten times the price, and we retail investors can't buy them at all!"
The netizens in line discussed and complained for a while, and Chu Feng frowned.
"I remember that the pre-sale on the official website should be limited, and only one account can be booked for one account, are these scalpers so rampant?" Chu Feng asked.
"Brother, you're still too young, what's the use of limiting? Even if you limit an identity account to only one book, it's not a problem for scalpers to get some identity accounts at all, at most it's just a little troublesome, it's just a symptom but not a cure, in the end, this thing is still too hot, more than ten times more popular than when Apple's new model was released, fortunately, this physical sales store in line is not advertised on the Internet, otherwise the whole street is estimated to be blocked for you, do you believe it or not?"
"I see!" Chu Feng nodded.
It is completely impossible for second-tier dealers like scalpers to completely eradicate it, but if scalpers are rampant, it will also indirectly damage the interests of real players. This situation was something Chu Feng didn't want to see.
Although virtual helmets should be sold hungry, it is not good to be too hungry.
The popularity of the virtual helmet has far exceeded Chu Feng's expectations. You must know that the price of these three helmets is not low, but within a minute of the official website's sale, millions of virtual helmets were sold out, which is also too exaggerated!
This is simply the rhythm of making tens of billions of dollars in minutes!
