First, I hate that these scalpers have bought out the inventory of smart fitness clothes drying racks, making it impossible for players who really want to play. Second, I hate that scalpers have accelerated the consumption of the inventory, leaving Tenda with a large amount of funds inexplicably...
Pei Qian thought for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "Let's deal with it the same way as before, stock up as hard as we can, in short, we must not let the scalpers profit!"
Chang You nodded immediately: "Okay, Mr. Pei, I will make arrangements right away. However... the production of smart fitness clothes drying racks also takes a certain amount of time. It is inevitable to be out of stock for a week or two. Should we appease the players?"
them?"
Pei Qian thought for a while: "Let's do this, open a reservation on the website. Give players a discount based on the waiting time after ordering. As long as the players believe that they will be able to buy it sooner or later, they will not buy from scalpers.
Already."
"It was our work error not to be wary of scalpers. It's understandable to give some compensation to our customers, right?"
Pei Qian's last sentence was obviously testing the system's attitude.
It stands to reason that the current pricing of smart fitness clothes drying racks is already relatively low, and there is not much profit margin. If you want to reduce the price further, you must have a reason that can convince the system.
Pei Qian just used the reason of "fighting scalpers and compensating customers" to give a discount in disguise. Wouldn't this make the profit margin even lower?
It can be considered a blessing among misfortunes.
…
After hanging up the phone, Chang You immediately urged his subordinates to communicate with the foundry and prepare goods as soon as possible.
He never expected that after leaving the mobile phone department, he would still be unable to escape the fate of "playing a monkey".
As a result, as soon as he finished arranging the work, his subordinates came over.
"Mr. Chang! Mr. Chang, the person who made the two large orders has been found, and he is not a scalper!"
Chang You was stunned for a moment: "Oh? Not a scalper? Who is that?"
He was a little surprised.
If you are not a scalper, what does it mean to buy two thousand smart fitness clothes drying racks at once?
Employee report: "The two people are Mr. Yao from Jinding Technology and Mr. Pei's rich second-generation friend Xue Zhebin. Mr. Yao said that they bought the smart fitness clothes drying rack simply because they heard that Tenda was short of funds recently, so they helped a little
busy."
"Those equipment do not need to be shipped. Jinding Group has sports apparel and sports drinks business, so we are planning to hold a lottery and randomly give away smart fitness clothes drying racks, which can be regarded as advertising for our company."
"Do you think it's okay?"
Chang You raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? There is such a thing!"
"Of course that's good!"
"Unexpectedly, it was not scalpers, but Mr. Pei's friends who extended a helping hand!"
"Is this Mr. Pei's personality charm?"
"You are doing this in such a roundabout way, maybe because you are afraid of Mr. Pei's rejection? You are really thoughtful."
The employee added: "Those who bought dozens of units by one person have already been shipped. There is a high probability that they are scalpers."
"But these orders basically come after the two large orders placed by Mr. Yao and Mr. Xue."
"Obviously, we saw that we had fewer smart fitness clothes drying racks in stock and the popularity was relatively high, so we decided to stock up on them."
Chang You nodded slightly, he also made the same judgment.
Obviously scalpers didn't want to speculate on smart fitness clothes drying racks at the beginning. After all, this thing is big and heavy, takes up a lot of space, and the stock is relatively sufficient.
But after Yao Bo and Xue Zhebin bought 4,000 units at once, the originally abundant inventory suddenly became tense, creating the illusion that "smart fitness clothes drying racks are in very short supply."
As a result, many scalpers couldn’t sit still!
After all, this is one of the few Tenda digital products that has no purchase limit, and the inventory is so tight, these scalpers have started to hoard some and make money by reselling them.
This further aggravated the shortage of smart fitness clothes drying racks, causing them to be sold out in advance.
Chang You said: "The original plan remains unchanged, we still have to seize the time to stock up."
"As for those scalpers... they probably won't be able to survive for a few more days!"
…
At the same time, in a local warehouse in Jingzhou, several "scalpers" were watching the guy from Headwind Logistics unloading the goods.
"Just put it here, no need to assemble it."
"Hard work, hard work!"
I have to say that in Jingzhou, headwind logistics is really fast. No matter how late the order is placed, it can be delivered the next day.
Dozens of smart fitness clothes drying racks were shipped in succession, and they were all piled in the scalpers' warehouses.
The guy from Headwind Logistics has already determined the identities of these people. After all, if you buy so many pieces at once without opening them or installing them, what else can they be other than scalpers reselling them?
However, the logistics guy didn’t say much. Their job responsibility is to deliver goods to your door. As for how to restrict scalpers, that is something the company leaders have to consider. If there are no regulations, then they can only be treated as normal consumers.
After a lot of effort and unloading all the smart fitness clothes drying racks, the logistics guys left one after another.
The scalpers looked at the hills of smart fitness clothes drying racks as if they were looking at a mountain of gold.
As professional scalpers, their usual job is to sell various products, including tickets and various digital products, and then resell them for money.
When there is a concert, they are the ones standing guard at the door to collect and sell tickets.
But this is the first time for me to move such a large item.
"Is this thing really profitable? If we want to take out food again, we will have to pay for logistics fees, and installation costs will also be incurred." One of the scalpers was obviously a little worried about this "investment".
The headed scalper smiled: "Don't worry, I've got it right. This thing definitely has the potential to become the best financial product of the year!"
"You see how popular "Fitness Fight" has become. Many anchors are recommending it. Moreover, this smart fitness clothes drying rack is selling so well. It is said that there are 10,000 units in stock, but I only saw two or three.
Within hours, more than 4,000 units were sold!”
"Think about it, how big a demand gap there is!"
"Even if Tengda rushes to stock up, can it close such a big gap? Definitely not!"
"And the profit of this thing is not high. Its actual value is definitely higher than 5,000 yuan. Those who can afford it will definitely not mind paying another 1,000 or 2,000 yuan. Let's not say more about each of these dozens of units. Let's make a thousand yuan."
, that’s tens of thousands of yuan!”
"If we charge a higher price, we can make more!"
"The most important thing is that Tenda was negligent this time, thinking that 10,000 units in stock were enough, so there was no purchase limit. I had no chance to speculate on Tenda's mobile phones before, but now that I have finally caught them, why don't I make a good deal?"
Another scalper scrolled through his phone and said with a smile: "Those online people who didn't buy a smart fitness clothes drying rack are scolding us again."
The leader of the scalpers laughed: "Don't they deserve it? No one wanted the smart fitness clothes drying rack before. They just bought it, but they didn't buy it. Now that it's become popular, I can't buy it anymore. Can we blame us?"
The scalpers laughed one after another, apparently indifferent to the scolding online.
However, at this moment, the face of the scalper who was looking at his mobile phone changed: "This... what is going on!"
"Brother, look quickly, it's not good!"
The scalper headed by him was stunned for a moment, took the phone and looked at it, and found that it was an announcement just issued by Outu Technology.
The smart fitness clothes drying rack is available for pre-order, and rebates will be made based on the difference between the date of reservation and the actual arrival date, with a maximum discount of 200 yuan!
Chang You mentioned this 200 yuan at the press conference because the profit of the smart fitness clothes drying rack is already relatively low, so the price reduction of 200 yuan is the limit and will not go any lower.
And once this pre-order is opened, it means that players have no reason to go to other channels to increase the price to purchase. They only need to pre-order on the official website and wait for the goods.
The longer you wait, the cheaper it gets, so who would buy it at a higher price from scalpers?
The expression of the scalper headed by him also changed suddenly.
We just placed an order yesterday and started speculating, but Tengda’s policy has already come out today?
It's too fast!
But he quickly calmed down: "It doesn't matter, it's not a big problem. The discount of 200 yuan is not a lot, and at Tengda's speed, even if we fully stock up, the next batch of products will definitely be a week or two away."
"What's more, when the next batch of products comes out, there will definitely still be people who can't buy it."
"We hurry up and sell all these dozens of units within two weeks, and we can still make a small profit!"
"Based on the current market demand, it won't be a problem to buy dozens of our units, and we won't lose money!"
However, before he could finish speaking, the scalper next to him exclaimed again.
"Brother, look at this again!"
The scalper headed by the leader took a look at the phone and found that it was an event announcement from Jinding Group.
This time, he couldn't remain calm.
“From now on, if you purchase Jinding Group’s fitness drinks or sportswear, you will have a certain chance of winning a smart fitness clothes drying rack?!”
"The quantity is 500 units!"
“If you spend over 8,000 in total, you will receive a smart fitness clothes drying rack as a gift, with a total quantity of 1,000 units!”
"You can also directly purchase a fitness gift package, a box of drinks, a set of close-fitting sportswear, and a smart fitness clothes drying rack. The price is... 5199?!"
"The quantity is 2500 units, first come first served?!"
All scalpers present froze on the spot.
Jinding Group is equivalent to providing three plans. European emperors will have a chance to draw as long as they buy drinks or sportswear. Rich people can also give them directly if they spend a total of 8,000.
If you are neither European nor willing to spend 8,000 yuan to buy other products, then the last option is to buy it directly for 5,199 yuan.
The original price of the smart fitness clothes drying rack is 4,999, but Jinding Group sent a fitness gift package, which contains a box of drinks and a set of sportswear. Calculated based on the original price, it is already much more than 200 yuan.
The most important thing is that with all these quotas added together, there are a total of 4,000 smart fitness clothes drying racks in stock!
The activity of these 4,000 clothes drying racks is enough for a week or two.
By then, the next batch of goods from Tenda will have arrived.
With Tenda’s official reservation and Jinding Group’s event, who would think twice about buying a smart fitness clothes drying rack from a scalper at a high price?
It must have hit my hand!
Even if these scalpers can sell it at the price of 5199, they will still lose money because they still have to bear the logistics and warehousing costs. What's more, it is impossible to sell 5199!
If one machine loses two to three hundred, these dozens of machines will lose at least ten thousand to twenty thousand!
The goods just arrived, and within a few minutes I was already sure that I was going to lose money, even if I didn’t wait overnight!
The scalpers looked at each other with ashen faces.
