Chapter 1037 Eric's Unannounced Visit to the Managed Gym
Compared with the previous two mobile phones that were quickly sold out shortly after the conference, the results of the smart fitness clothes drying rack can simply be described as brilliant!
Obviously, most people regard the smart fitness clothes drying rack as a purely comprehensive product.
Although Changyou introduced its functions at the press conference, most of the functions are also available in traditional fitness equipment, and the price is cheaper than it.
Those N-in-1 strength training equipment covers an area about the same as a smart fitness clothes drying rack, but the price may only be around 3,500 to 4,500, which is much cheaper.
Everyone has a lot of concerns about smart fitness clothes drying racks, and there is a serious lack of motivation to buy them. It is normal to not sell a few units in an hour.
Of course, the sales volume of more than ten years proves that there are still a few die-hard fans of Tenda. No matter how outrageous the product is, these die-hard fans will buy it with their eyes closed.
In any case, there are so many smart fitness clothes drying racks in stock, and the press conference was so popular, but only a little was sold after the press conference. No matter how you look at it, it is a very optimistic result.
Pei Qian couldn't help but hum a ditty.
Hard work really pays off!
…
At the same time, Jingzhou Airport.
"Brother Lin, are you really not going to stay and play for a few more days?" Meng Chang had a smile on his face and repeatedly asked Lin Jiaqiang to stay.
Lin Jiaqiang quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, I've been disturbing you for a long time, and I have something to do at home, so I have to go back."
After filming the promotional video, Lin Jiaqiang has been eating, drinking and having fun in Jingzhou, and the money was naturally provided by the advertising department.
Meng Chang wished he could keep Lin Jiaqiang for a few more days.
Anyway, these funds are not in my hands. I can use them to entertain Lin Jiaqiang. I can also eat and drink with him, so why not?
What's more, he watched the press conference and knew that the sales of smart fitness clothes drying racks were bleak, and he is now very happy.
Meng Chang's mouth watered when he thought about the commission he would get at the end of the month.
Lin Jiaqiang was the one who helped Meng Chang get the commission. Meng Chang naturally loved him very much and got a lot closer to him.
Lin Jiaqiang also had a great time, but after all, he still had to support his family, and staying in Jingzhou was not an option, so he decided to leave.
Meng Chang had already tried to persuade him to stay several times before, and Lin Jiaqiang's ticket had been changed twice, so he didn't try to persuade him to stay again this time. He just said that if there was an opportunity for cooperation in the future, he would contact him as soon as possible and personally help him.
Lin Jiaqiang was sent to the airport.
Lin Jiaqiang is naturally very grateful.
As he was about to board the plane, Lin Jiaqiang suddenly thought of something.
"Mr. Meng, I have a heartfelt request."
Meng Chang was stunned for a moment: "But it doesn't matter."
Lin Jiaqiang said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Meng, can you give me a smart fitness clothes drying rack? I also want to go back and exercise a little. After all, I have gotten older recently and my body is getting worse every year."
Logically speaking, it is appropriate to let celebrities endorse products and send more samples.
But Meng Chang felt that Lin Jiaqiang definitely didn't need such a trivial thing, and he might be disliked if he gave it away, so he didn't give it away at all, and just took Lin Jiaqiang to eat, drink and have fun in Jingzhou for a few days.
Now that Lin Jiaqiang has taken the initiative to ask for it, just give one as a gift, what a big deal.
Meng Chang knew that the smart fitness clothes drying racks were all piled up in Tenda's warehouse in Jingzhou, and they couldn't be sold at all. What's more, giving one away would be a loss of money, so why not do it?
Meng Chang smiled slightly: "No problem, I will arrange for someone to courier it to your home later, and then arrange for someone to come and install it!"
Lin Jiaqiang said quickly: "Thank you so much!"
In fact, Lin Jiaqiang came up with this idea on a whim.
He has been obese since he was a child. When he was young, he had to maintain this obese body shape to play clowns for filming. But now that he is older, this obese body has also brought him many diseases.
There are no more scenes to shoot, so what’s the point of staying so fat?
So Lin Jiaqiang has been thinking about doing a little exercise. Let’s not talk about whether he is thin or not. Isn’t it good to keep his body healthy and live a few more years?
It's just that he tried many methods and couldn't persist.
Now that he sees this smart fitness clothes drying rack, Lin Jiaqiang thinks that he can put one in his own home. It is always good to exercise when there is nothing to do.
Even if you can't remember to use it, you can still use it to dry clothes.
Of course, this big guy is a bit expensive, so if you pay for it, it's pretty good, but if you pay for it, forget it.
After receiving Meng Chang's promise, Lin Jiaqiang said goodbye to everyone with satisfaction, got on the plane and left Jingzhou.
…
…
Monday, May 14th.
Magic City, the headquarters of Longyu Group.
As soon as it was time to go to work, Zhao Xuming hurried to the conference room, and Eric was already waiting inside.
"It has been confirmed that Chang You said at the press conference that Outu Technology has stocked up on smart fitness clothes drying racks in large quantities. It is true that several warehouses of Tenda in Jingzhou are indeed filled with these things."
"Moreover, smart fitness clothes drying racks have been shipped to various managed gyms, including one here in Shanghai."
"How about we go take a look?"
After listening to Zhao Xuming's report, Eric frowned slightly, looking a little confused.
After a while, he said: "Don't worry, wait until night to see it. There should be more people at night, so you can see the real popularity of this device."
Ever since Zhitou Company and Longyu Group jointly held a press conference, Eric and Zhao Xuming have been paying attention to Tenda's trends.
Because they know very well that Mr. Pei is a person who never suffers losses and will definitely fight back!
But after waiting for two days, there was no movement. This is a bit abnormal.
It stands to reason that Tengda Group is very efficient, and Mr. Pei is never ambiguous about burning money.
Finally, the launch of the smart fitness clothes drying rack has come.
Eric and Zhao Xuming also watched the press conference and were a little confused by this nonsensical product.
But they mainly care about three points.
First of all, is it true that Changyou said that smart fitness clothes drying racks will be stocked in large quantities?
Secondly, the smart fitness clothes drying rack is indeed no one interested now, but will there be any chance of improvement in the future?
Finally, what are the specific rules of the 515 Game Festival?
In fact, the result of this press conference was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise for Eric.
Because Outu Technology's previous products, whether it is the E1 mobile phone, the G1 mobile phone, or even the fully automatic intelligent bar lifter, have been successful.
Therefore, for this new product that is about to be released, Eric assumes that it has already succeeded and is mentally prepared based on the premise that it will be a big hit.
Unexpectedly, after the press conference, no one paid any attention!
What's even more gratifying is that there are 10,000 units of this crap thing in stock? How many tens of millions of funds have been accumulated?
Eric knows very well that the price war he is facing is the entire Tenda Group, not just the Tenda Game Department.
That said, conditions in other industries must also be taken into consideration.
Nowadays, no one is paying attention to the new products released by Outu Technology, and there is a large backlog of payment, which will lead to less available working capital for the entire Tenda Group. This is of course good news!
The only question is, is what Chang You said at the press conference true, or is he just trying to make a living?
For this reason, he specially asked Zhao Xuming to arrange for his men to go to Jingzhou for an unannounced visit.
There is no airtight wall in the world, and the location of Tengda's warehouse is no secret, so I quickly got the exact answer: This broken clothes drying rack is indeed well stocked!
So, the first question is solved.
As for the specific rules of the 515 Game Festival, they should currently only exist on the computers of some core employees of Tenda, and are unlikely to be leaked.
Since it will be announced in the early morning of May 15th, there is still more than a day left, so there is no need to rush.
Eric guessed that this so-called 515 Game Festival is probably the same as the preferential activities of Zhidou Company and Longyu Group. It is nothing more than discounts on skins and games.
When the time comes to see Tenda’s specific promotional efforts, it won’t be too late to consider countermeasures.
So the most critical step left now is to determine whether this smart fitness clothes drying rack is really no longer interested in it, and there is no chance of a comeback.
If so, then this batch of unprocessed goods in the warehouse may very well be the straw that breaks Mr. Pei's back!
Eric originally planned to buy one for research, but when he heard that a managed gym also had this device, he immediately changed his mind and decided to go to the managed gym to have a look.
Because there are many fitness professionals in managed gyms, their views on smart fitness clothes drying racks are more professional and objective. As long as they don’t like using this thing, they can basically declare it dead.
…
Some time ago, Tengda's various physical industries began to enter first-tier cities such as Imperial Capital and Magic City, so managed gyms have also opened in Magic City, and the business is good.
After get off work in the afternoon, Eric and Zhao Xuming came to the hosting gym.
The two people pretended that they were customers who came to understand the situation and were considering applying for a card, and successfully sneaked in.
There was a dedicated person at the front desk responsible for guiding, receiving, and introducing the managed gym model to the two. Eric and Zhao Xuming pretended to listen carefully, but in fact they were constantly looking at the situation inside the gym.
I have to say that the managed gym model is indeed different from other gyms.
There is no such thing as crowding, because the time for hosting the gym is reserved in advance, ensuring that the actual number of people in the gym is always at a more appropriate level.
Although all fitness equipment does not require queuing, you can still roughly see the popularity of different fitness equipment.
For some equipment, it won't take long for someone to pick it up after the person using it left; for other equipment, it would take more than ten minutes for someone to use it.
The smart fitness clothes drying rack is placed in a very eye-catching position in the managed gym.
Zhao Xuming stared at it secretly for a long time and found that no one was using it at all!
Most of the male members glanced at it and continued to lift dumbbells; while the female members did not even glance at it and went straight to the treadmill, spinning bike and yoga room.
Even the clerk in charge of the reception did not go out of his way to introduce this smart fitness clothes drying rack when introducing various fitness equipment in the managed gym.
This is all obviously very good signs!
Zhao Xuming coughed twice and asked knowingly: "Excuse me, what is this fitness equipment? It looks very special. I haven't seen it in other gyms."
The clerk smiled sheepishly: "Oh, this, this is the smart fitness clothes drying rack newly developed by our Tenda Group."
"It is a household product, and it is mainly displayed here for display."
"As a household product, its advantage lies in the combination of multiple fitness equipment. One piece of equipment can train the whole body and can also dry clothes when not in use; however, if you train in the gym, its effect is not the same as that of those
Compared with specialized equipment, it is still slightly inferior..."
Tengda's clerks always tell the truth. Let alone deceiving customers, even concealing part of the truth to induce customers to make purchases is not allowed. This is the purpose set by Mr. Pei from the very beginning of the company's establishment.
So the clerk introduced the smart fitness clothes drying rack to Eric and Zhao Xuming very honestly.
In particular, it points out the key point of smart fitness clothes drying racks that no one cares about in managed gyms: everything means nothing.
Those professional fitness equipment seem to only be able to practice a certain movement, but in fact there are many places that can be adjusted to ensure that you can achieve the best results when practicing this movement.
The smart fitness clothes drying rack has to take into account so many actions, and these details must be slightly emasculated. Otherwise, on the one hand, it will not be able to control the cost, and on the other hand, it will be too cumbersome and inconvenient to use.
Therefore, for members who come to the gym, they only need to consider the training effect and do not need to consider the space occupied. Naturally, they will not use smart fitness clothes racks to exercise.
Eric and Zhao Xuming looked at each other, both of them beaming with joy.
What does this mean?
This shows that this smart fitness clothes drying rack is not only unpopular among ordinary consumer groups and cannot be sold, but also has no room for survival even in a professional commercial environment such as a gym!
Even Tenda's own managed gym can't save this piece of crappy equipment, and it's even less likely that other gyms will buy this crappy thing.
Originally, the two of them were slightly worried. What if this smart fitness clothes drying rack was purchased by gyms like crazy?
There are not a small number of gyms across the country. If every gym has one, that is also a very scary number.
But now, this possibility seems to be gone.
This smart fitness clothes drying rack is basically cool!
