342 Limited Edition Morgans going up for auction
Before I knew it, more than a month had passed.
With the release of the second batch of mobile phones, more people are using mobile phones.
At the same time, as more software with various functions are put into the software market, the entire world is changing unconsciously.
Mobile phones are gradually integrating into this world.
-------
Navy Headquarters.
There is a very special island fifteen nautical miles to the west.
If there is something special about this place, it is...
This island does not exist on any public map!
And this is where the Naval Science Department is located.
"Dr. Vegapunk, what do you think?"
In a laboratory, Warring States was standing behind a very thin man in a white coat and asked him.
“It cannot be copied in a short time!”
"Not even you?"
"Although there is a lot of new material in it, this is not the biggest problem. The real problem is... I don't understand the communication and network technology at all."
Hearing this, Warring States was also severely shocked.
This was the first time he heard such discouraging words from Vegapunk.
"To put it simply, this doesn't look like something from our world at all!"
After pondering for a moment, Double Punk spoke again.
"Not like something from our world?"
"Yes, both the technical route and the design ideas feel a little incompatible with our world. I have felt this way before."
"Before?"
"Yes, the rifles and naval guns you asked me to build before. The ideas of those things are also a bit strange, but at least they are understandable, but this mobile phone..."
At this moment, even if Vegapunk possesses wisdom that surpasses the world for 500 years, he is still in trouble.
After all, this mobile phone was not manufactured, but was made by Bai Wei through the mobile phone fruit.
However, even Vegapunk can't understand it, so Warring States is even weirder.
How on earth did Morgans make such a thing as a mobile phone?
You know, after two sales of mobile phones, there are now two million units on the market, and the Navy, not to mention ordinary sailors, at least every officer has one.
Even Akainu has used one of the social apps to replace some links in the chain of command, and it is said that the effect is quite good.
But the problem is that this mobile phone was made by someone else, and the Navy still doesn’t even understand its principle.
Would it be problematic to directly incorporate some of its functions into the chain of command?
Like being monitored or something?
Sengoku couldn't be sure, but he thought it was possible.
However, he could not directly order the Navy not to allow the use of mobile phones.
On the one hand, I have no evidence, and on the other hand, this thing has become popular in the navy too quickly, and it has made the command system much more efficient.
Therefore, if the Warring States Period directly issued an order, it would not be used!
I'm afraid it will arouse quite a wave of opposition within the navy.
The most important thing...
Even Warring States himself, he holds a mobile phone all day long and is reluctant to put it down...
-------
Eighteen branches.
"Hahaha, Li Yan, we succeeded. Do you know the price of a copied mobile phone on the black market now?"
"what price?"
Listening to Morgans' excited voice...
Although he had expected it, Li Yan still asked with interest.
"3 million beli, 3 million beri! You must know that we have never released it once, and the price is only 1,999 beri. You can imagine how the supply of this mobile phone exceeds the demand."
"Calm down Morgans!"
"Calm down? I can't calm down. You don't know that because of the release of mobile phones, a new profession has appeared in the sea!"
"what occupation?"
"They snapped up a lot of mobile phones when we launched them, and after we sold them out, they sold them at a higher price. I heard that these people are now making huge profits."
Well...
Hearing this, Li Yan's expression became a little strange.
Isn’t this just scalpers?
But okay, it’s understandable that there are scalpers only when there is demand.
"Morgans, I have something to tell you."
"you say!"
"I have produced a batch of customized mobile phones here, exclusively for the wealthy class."
"Oh? What kind?"
"How about the pure gold version? Did you get a head start?"
That's right, Bai Wei can make a mobile phone as long as he has the corresponding basic materials.
This just made Li Yan think of the best way to deal with the gold on the empty island...
Directly produce a batch of pure gold versions of mobile phones and sell them at high prices to those who are not short of money.
On the one hand, gold can be sold through this channel; on the other hand, it can also be sold at a premium, right?
For example, the gold used in each of these customized mobile phones is worth about 1 million beli, but Li Yan is planning to sell it for 30 million beli.
In other words, gold is directly priced at a premium of 3000%. Isn’t this more attractive than selling gold directly?
After hearing Li Yan talk about the pure gold version of the mobile phone, Morgans' eyes widened.
"Li Yan, I have to say, you are really a genius!"
"Don't worry, leave it to me. I can even help you sell one for 100 million Baileys!"
Good guy, Li Yan already feels that he is black enough. He turned 1 million Bailey's gold into a mobile phone and sold it for 30 million.
But what’s the result?
Morgans, this guy, says 100 million Baileys as soon as he opens his mouth.
"Can you sell that much?"
"Of course, the Tianlong people are not short of money. Sometimes in order to compete with each other for an auction item, they will shout hundreds of millions of beli for something worth millions. What is one hundred million?"
Okay, there's really nothing wrong with that.
For Tianlong people, money is not important, what is important is to show their dignity.
Therefore, they are naturally unwilling to let them use the same mobile phone as civilians, and the pure gold version of the mobile phone is simply customized for them.
"Okay, now I have prepared a thousand units here, and I will give them all to you. I will share 10% of the profits with you. Is that okay?"
"No problem, don't worry, leave it to me. I'll let all the Tianlong people and the nobles around the world pay for it. It's better to have a larger quantity. A thousand units is a bit too little."
"No, no, even if a thousand units are sold out, they won't be produced again. Do you understand the limited edition?"
"limited edition?"
When he first heard this, Morgans still didn't understand.
But after thinking about it carefully, I immediately understood what Li Yan meant.
"I understand, this is really a genius idea. Li Yan, you should not be a navy, but a businessman!"
------
Three days later.
After Morgans got the thousand limited-edition mobile phones, he immediately took one for himself.
One hundred million Baileys is nothing to him.
The key is, this limited edition, which Li Yan jokingly calls Tuhao Gold, is so impressive to look at.
Of course, Morgans didn't forget about business either.
He first found the Tianlong people through special channels.
Needless to say, when those Tianlong people saw the mobile phone made of pure gold, their eyes were impressed by the value, and they immediately paid for it one by one.
There were even a few Dracos who said this to Morgans.
Why are you only selling this thing for 100 million? It should be sold for 1 billion, so that I can show my identity after buying it!
Even Morgans, who had dealt with the Celestial Dragons many times, was now in trouble.
In this world, there are not too many Celestial Dragons, but few are not too few. There are still a few hundred people.
After disposing of 300 of the mobile phones to the Tianlong people, Morgans opened the backend of BIG NEWS and silently sent out a real-time news, even attaching a series of close-up photos of the pure gold version of the mobile phone.
Chapter completed!
