Pei Qian was in a good mood. He came to the company early in the morning and waited in his office for Assistant Xin to report on his work.
That building should have found a buyer, right?
It stands to reason that the location of the newly purchased building in Sloth Apartment is quite good, coupled with the exquisite decoration designed by Liang Qingfan himself and the reputation of Sloth Apartment, it is a good choice whether to resell or rent it out after buying it.
In order to close the deal as soon as possible, Pei Qian did not ask for a high price. The entire quotation was still within a reasonable range. There should be many companies, especially real estate companies, interested in purchasing.
However, after waiting in the office for a while, Assistant Xin didn't come.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Pei Qian was a little puzzled.
Assistant Xin is very reliable. If a suitable buyer has been found, he will definitely report it as soon as possible.
Haven't found a buyer yet? Isn't it possible?
Pei Qian vaguely felt that something was wrong, and immediately called Assistant Xin to inquire about the current situation.
Assistant Xin reported truthfully: "Mr. Pei, yesterday I contacted several real estate companies, and they did express their intention to acquire it."
"But when I went to confirm today, they all said they had thought about it and changed their minds, and they all gave up."
"We are still contacting new buyers."
Pei Qian frowned slightly, confused.
No one wants this building?
No, the location of this building is okay, and the asking price is not very high, right?
This means that I have no money in my own pocket. If I had so much personal property, I would wish to buy it myself and collect the rent.
Wouldn’t it be nice for him to be a charterer happily?
But then he thought about it, although this building is indeed good, each company may have its own problems, such as not having so much funds, or having better projects that need money. It has only been less than a day since the news was released.
, it’s normal not to find a suitable buyer.
After all, normal sales of second-hand houses are not completed within one day, so you have to wait for several days.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian said: "Okay, let's continue looking for a buyer."
After hanging up the phone, Pei Qian was a little at a loss.
He originally thought that he would hear the good news that the property was sold when he went to work today and could continue to plan the next round of money-burning plans, but his expectations were dashed.
Now I don't know what to do.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to browse the web page to see the players’ reactions.
After all, today is the last day of the 515 Game Festival, and all the previous money-burning activities have ended today.
Pei Qian wanted to see if the players had any opinions or suggestions about the 515 Game Festival, and if he could think of new ways to burn money. After the building was sold, he could immediately plan the next phase of the money-burning plan.
After the probability of the 515 Game Festival was secretly changed over the weekend, players' enthusiasm became even higher, and discussions about the 515 Game Festival could be seen everywhere.
Most players are still a little unsatisfied, but they are almost satisfied.
After all, the entire 515 Game Festival event lasted for a whole week. Although it was fun to pluck wool, it would be tiring if it was kept like this.
If you want to get rewards, you have to play the game online, and playing every day is a bit difficult.
In short, the response to this 515 Game Festival was very good, and the players were very happy.
Pei Qian was also very happy.
Maybe this is a win-win!
However, as he turned over the pages, the smile on Pei Qian's face disappeared and was replaced by a solemn expression.
Because he saw some unexpected discussions!
A post with the title "I heard that Tengda has a capital turnover problem and is selling properties" seems very abrupt among the posts of the 515 Game Festival, but it has been posted since yesterday, in just a dozen hours.
There have been hundreds of replies and it’s very popular!
"I heard that Tenda seems to have had financial problems recently and is selling properties! There are many sources that can serve as evidence. It is definitely true!"
"How is that possible? Haven't Tenda's recent projects all made money?"
"I made a profit, but I haven't gotten the money yet! The key to "Mission and Decision" has been postponed, and the inventory of the smart fitness clothes drying rack has not been cleared yet..."
"I've also heard about the building sale, and what's more, it's a newly renovated building in Sloth Apartments. This is obviously killing the goose that lays the goose to get the egg! Who would do this if it weren't for financial constraints?"
"I have a friend who works at Tenda, and it seems to be true. Many Tenda employees don't eat snacks, and they voluntarily save money for the company."
"Tengda is having such a difficult time, why are you still holding a 515 Game Festival? You even increased the probability of the event yourself?"
"It's broken. The wool feels comfortable, but what if the sheep is about to be killed?"
"Nothing can happen to Tenda! This is the hope of domestic games. If it really fails, wouldn't it mean that we will go back to the dark ages of many years ago?"
"It's not like the Dark Ages, but it will definitely be a huge loss for domestic players, no, players all over the world!"
"It's not just games, Tenda's movies, digital products and real industries, all of which are not industry benchmarks? If something goes wrong, the loss will be too great! It's unimaginable!"
"I have used so many benefits from Tenda in vain, and I can no longer sit back and ignore it! I have decided to buy a few more games to support it!"
"Let me buy a smart fitness clothes drying rack."
“I’ve been eating takeout from Moyu these days!”
“I’ll buy some skins on GOG to support you!”
At first, many people did not believe that Tenda would have financial problems. After all, judging from the existing information, Tenda was developing very well and various projects were making money.
But more and more netizens are joining the discussion, including people who know Tenda insiders and local companies in Jingzhou, confirming that Tenda has indeed encountered some difficulties recently and is selling properties!
So the players couldn't calm down.
The 515 Game Festival has not passed yet, and almost all players have benefited from Tenda. Now I heard that Tenda had to sell its properties to raise funds in order to provide benefits to players. How can this be done?
Netizens decided that if you have money, you can contribute, and if you have the ability, you can contribute. Even if you spend a few dollars to buy a skin, it can be considered as a small contribution to Tenda.
The G1 mobile phone, which has just stepped up production and resumed supply, is out of stock again.
Pei Qian was completely confused when he saw the discussion among the netizens.
What's going on!
Are these players crazy?
I'm just doing business normally, and selling properties is purely a normal cash flow. Why do I feel like these players are all just like shareholders of the company, and they care more about me than me!
Is it okay for Tenda to have so many spiritual shareholders?
Pei Qian had an ominous premonition, so he quickly opened the official website of Outu Technology and checked the product page of the G1 mobile phone.
Sure enough, sold out!
In fact, the G1 mobile phone was sold out the day after the press conference, but Outu Technology immediately prepared the second batch of stock, and it went on sale again some time ago.
In this way, while stocking up and selling at the same time, after finally delivering all the previously reserved mobile phones, the goods are guaranteed to be in stock, so there is no need to "play monkey tricks" anymore.
As a result, now, it’s sold out again!
Pei Qian endured the pain in his balls and found the page of the smart fitness clothes drying rack again.
Refresh it and it shows that there are 12 units left in stock.
Refresh it again, sold out!
Pei Qian was stunned.
He suddenly leaned back on the boss's chair and felt his body being hollowed out.
“My smart fitness clothes drying rack!”
"I have so many supplies!"
"Where has everything gone?!"
Pei Qian was so angry that he beat his chest and feet.
I thought it was impossible to sell a lot of smart fitness clothes drying racks, so in order to spend more money, Pei Qian asked Outu Technology to stock up on them. They filled up several warehouses of Tenda in Jingzhou and prepared a whole batch of them.
Thousands of units.
That’s 10,000 units!
Pei Qian remembered that when he looked at it two days ago, although the sales were very fast, there were still thousands of units in stock that were not sold. Why did he look at them again today and they were all sold out?!
Are the players so ruthless?
Or... was it bought by some people with ulterior motives?
For example, scalpers?
Quickly search for the keyword "smart fitness clothes drying rack" on the Internet and check out the discussions among netizens.
"Damn! I just wanted to buy a clothes drying rack to go home and work out, but it's sold out?!"
“There are relatively few large items like this in stock, so it’s normal for them to be sold out.”
"It's not normal at all, okay? Didn't President Chang say at the press conference that he had 10,000 units in stock and they would never be sold out?"
"After the release of "Fitness Fight", this clothes drying rack also became popular. Many anchors and UP anchors are broadcasting it. Ten thousand channels distributed nationwide are actually not much."
"I feel something is wrong. There is no purchase limit on this thing. It is probably targeted by scalpers!"
Netizens who failed to buy the smart fitness clothes drying rack were speechless and cursed scalpers online.
Pei Qian's first reaction was the same as that of netizens, thinking that he was probably a scalper!
After all, the smart fitness clothes drying rack is different from the G1 mobile phone. The G1 mobile phone has a purchase limit policy to prevent scalpers, but the smart fitness clothes drying rack does not have any purchase restriction policy, because Pei Qian never expected that this thing could sell a lot.
But when I thought about it again, I felt that the possibility was relatively low.
How can any scalper know how to fry this kind of thing?
Scalpers prefer to speculate on relatively small items such as concert tickets or mobile phones. After all, these items have a high unit price and do not take up space, so the profits from speculation are relatively considerable.
The smart fitness clothes drying rack is so big, doesn’t it take up space?
When the scalper buys a few hundred pieces, where will he put them? He will have to rent a large warehouse to put them in, and he will have to pay another sum of money for express delivery.
Of course, the premise of this speculation is that the profit from speculating on smart fitness clothes drying racks is not high.
If the returns are high, scalpers will definitely overcome many difficulties and start speculating.
Although Pei Qian hated scalpers very much, at this time, he had a vague expectation in his heart that it was scalpers who did it.
Because if it is not scalpers, it means that the smart fitness clothes drying rack is so popular that it is selling out!
Investigate, must investigate thoroughly!
Pei Qian immediately called Chang You and asked him to check the order records of the smart fitness clothes drying rack to see if there were any signs of scalping activities.
Not long after, Chang You called back: "Mr. Pei, there are indeed signs of suspected scalpers."
"The records show that there were several large orders."
"The two largest purchases were the purchase of 2,000 smart fitness clothes drying racks respectively."
"There are also more than a dozen transactions with relatively small amounts, some for dozens of units, and some for two to three hundred units."
"If the possibility of overall procurement is ruled out, it is probably scalpers who are at work."
"Relatively speaking, these orders of dozens of units are more like scalpers. These two purchases of two thousand units directly...the identity is a bit unclear. It stands to reason that ordinary scalpers are unlikely to use such a large amount of funds.
"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Pei, I was negligent this time. I thought the unit price of the smart fitness clothes drying rack was so high and the transportation was inconvenient, so no scalpers would target it, so I didn't specify relevant purchase restrictions..."
"Mr. Pei, what do you think we should do now?"
"Should we still follow the previous approach and continue to increase stocking?"
