Pei Qian's brain was working rapidly and he fell into deep thought.
There are only two ways to set the limit. Either everyone relies on hand speed, which is tantamount to surrendering to scalpers. Pei Qian would rather make money than get rid of those bugs in vain;
Or we can use settings similar to "credit value" to allow Tenda consumers to gain higher purchasing rights, and when they buy, they will be bound to benefits and cannot be resold, thus driving away scalpers.
Pei Qian has already tried this route in "Sea Fortress". Although it can indeed avoid the influence of scalpers to a large extent, it does not make less money. On the contrary, it will make consumers spend more on other Tenda products.
Industrial consumption.
Anyway, it doesn’t seem to work!
Then we can only mass-produce. As long as we ensure that there is always inventory, scalpers will not be able to raise the price, and they will naturally fail.
But how can we mass-produce it and make as little money as possible?
In other words, is it possible that if we mass produce too much, we will lose money?
Pei Qian looked at Chang You: "As I said before, the profit margin of mobile phones does not exceed 5%..."
Chang You quickly replied: "Yes, Mr. Pei, it is completely based on this standard. It is because stacking materials cannot do this, so I worked with other departments of Tenda to add various other benefits!"
Pei Qian: "..."
Yes, it seems that all these extra benefits are also my fault.
But now is obviously not the time to dwell on this.
Since the profit margin of this mobile phone is only 5%, it means that these benefits are the profits of other departments.
Overall, I'm making money, but not a lot.
At present, 1,000 mobile phones have been sold out simply because there is too little stock.
The biggest advantage of this mobile phone is actually the various benefits provided by Tenda Group, which has great appeal to Jingzhou locals.
All the attendees at this press conference were locals from Jingzhou, and they were all clients of Tenda from other industries. These benefits were obviously very attractive to them, and coupled with the deception of the press conference...
That’s why they sold out at the speed of light!
However, this mobile phone seems to be less attractive to users who are not local to Jingzhou. Those who are not in Jingzhou and Lincheng cannot enjoy the various benefits of Moyu Internet Cafe, Mingyun Private Kitchen, and Headwind Logistics.
ah?
Many people were crazy about the press conference and the limited quantity, so they rushed to buy it.
But once they calm down, they will definitely regret a phone that is so heavy, so expensive, and has a crude native system.
What's more, the media reviewers may not necessarily say too many good things about this mobile phone. As long as the wind direction reverses, those mass-produced mobile phones will still be able to eat dust in the warehouse...
Therefore, mass production must be mass production!
As long as the mass production is fast enough and the stock is large enough, the profit will not be able to catch up with me!
And once the market is saturated, a few wealthy people in Jingzhou will have one, and other people will gradually see the shortcomings of this mobile phone. Naturally, those stocks will not be sold, and since they have previously formulated a strategy of never lowering prices, these products will only
It can rot in the warehouse!
Of course, Pei Qian is not overly optimistic. He is considering a double insurance to at least ensure that he does not make money during this cycle.
Chang You and others were all quietly waiting for Mr. Pei's order.
Although everyone knows that the next step is mass production, which should be an answer that does not require too much thinking, Mr. Pei is now deep in thought and must have thought of a level that others have not thought of at all.
Therefore, everyone is still waiting for "Mr. Pei in good times" to come up with the most perfect plan.
After thinking for a moment, Pei Qian sighed melancholy: "Then let's mass-produce it."
He looked at Chang You: "When will the next batch of products be delivered?"
Chang You quickly replied: "Mr. Pei, the production line at the foundry can produce mobile phones very quickly. Some large factories can produce hundreds of thousands of units a day without any problem. We don't have that many production lines, but the foundry can produce several mobile phones a day.
Qiantai is still completely OK.”
Pei Qian: "..."
Nima, so fast?
It's really uncomfortable.
It's right to think about it. The hunger marketing of other mobile phones sold out hundreds of thousands of units in three minutes.
Otto mobile phone's hunger marketing is that 1,000 units were sold out in three minutes.
This is not of the same magnitude at all...
Pei Qian thought about it and said, "Today is March 6, and now we are starting to stock up on a large scale for mass production."
"Sold once a week on Wednesdays and Sundays."
"When purchasing, you must log in to your Tengda account and fill in your personal ID number. Each person is limited to purchasing one unit. When delivering to your door, you must show your ID card to ensure that the order and ID are consistent before you can receive the goods. Otherwise, the order will be canceled and a refund will be given to him.
"
"Sell 2,000 units next Wednesday, sell 4,000 units next Sunday, sell 8,000 units the next Wednesday, and immediately put the money into production after selling, and so on."
"Even if it is not sold out, we will use the funds on hand to replenish the goods."
"If you don't have working capital, just tell me. Tenda has the funds to advance payment."
Chang You hurriedly said: "But Mr. Pei, the profit concessions given to other departments of Tenda..."
Pei Qian waved his hand: "Don't worry about it for now."
He knows very well that the raw material cost of the current 8199 price of Otto mobile phones is only more than 4,000, which is nearly half, and the other half of the price is supported by profit sharing from various other departments of Tenda.
According to Changyou's plan, after the mobile phones are sold, the profits will be returned to various departments.
But now with a wave of his hand, Pei Qian stopped returning the money to various departments and continued to stock up.
A mobile phone sells for 8,199, and the production cost is only a little over 4,000, which means that the quantity sold each time can be doubled compared to the previous one.
This time we sold 1,000 units, and next time we sold 2,000 units. The quantity grew rapidly.
These two are nothing more than two situations:
If all goes well, as the market becomes saturated, these mobile phones will soon be unable to be sold, and there will be a large backlog of inventory. It is impossible to repay the profits from other departments, and Mr. Pei will succeed in losing money.
If things don't go well and all the phones are sold out every week, then by the 30th of the month, which is the day before settlement, the number of stocks in stock will reach about 100,000.
When the time comes, a large amount of prepared goods will enter the warehouse. As long as they can't be sold out, a little profit will be worth it.
Of course, if you directly use the excess funds from other departments to prepare large quantities of goods, you can spend more money instantly, but that is also very risky. After all, once something is produced, it has to be sold, and there is a possibility that it will go bankrupt on the spot during this cycle.
shoot.
In this way, extending the stocking cycle to one month can at least ensure that there will be no major problems in this settlement cycle.
Chang You was deeply moved.
In Chang You's opinion, Mr. Pei has temporarily transferred all the profits from other departments to ensure the funds and supply of Otto mobile phones!
It seems that Otto Technology is a very important link in the industrial chain in Mr. Pei’s eyes, which also shows that it is highly trusted!
Moreover, such a move has effectively curbed scalpers and taken care of the mood of ordinary consumers.
Each person is limited to purchasing one unit, and you have to show your ID to receive the goods at the door, which greatly increases the cost for scalpers to resell mobile phones.
It goes on sale every three days, and the quantity on sale each time is double the previous one, so that consumers will not be so impatient to buy from scalpers at a high price, but would rather wait for three more days.
"Mr. Pei... I will definitely live up to the expectations of all departments in Tenda. Even if I go to the production line to tighten the screws myself, I will guarantee the supply!"
Changyou was instantly motivated.
…
Back in the office, Pei Qian leaned on his chair, looking a little listless.
How uncomfortable!
Although he had thought of remedial measures, the success of the Otto mobile phone launch conference still dealt a heavy blow to Mr. Pei, making him indescribably uncomfortable.
Turn on the computer and browse the forum.
As a result, I saw another bad news.
That puzzle has been solved by the player!
pyffdewhvj
This string of passwords seems to have no regularity, but it is actually a double-spelling natural code.
Shuangpin is a special pinyin typing method that assigns the finals of Chinese characters to each key. In this way, each Chinese character only needs to press two keys to spell it out.
For example, f represents the final en, and pressing ff in the Shuangpin input method equals to spelling out fen.
Therefore, in the eyes of people who know how to use Shuangpin input method, this line of password becomes: pingfendewangzhan!
This obviously points to the tpdb website.
As a result, a large number of players poured into the tpdb website, checking various sections and clicking various buttons, but they got stuck at this point and could not find any useful information on the website.
"Although there are few people using Shuangpin input method, there are still some. It is not surprising that they are found."
"This puzzle should be able to last until the settlement, right?"
Pei Qian suddenly became a little nervous.
…
…
Tuesday, March 8th.
Qiao Liang and his fans are fighting hard in other Tenda games.
Before, Qiao Liang, like everyone else, frantically searched for clues on the tpdb website, but found nothing.
Some players even went to other rating websites, which is obviously a completely wrong direction.
Again, based on Qiao Laoshi's understanding of Mr. Pei, it is absolutely impossible for him to link up with other messy games or websites.
Therefore, this "rated website" definitely refers to the tpdb website that is no longer running.
But why can't so many people find any clues after searching for almost three days from Sunday to now?
Is it because the clues are hidden too deep on the website?
It is possible.
But there is another possibility, that is, the information of "rated website" is not complete enough!
Qiao Liang discovered that since finding this clue in "Lonely Desert Highway", everyone's attention has been focused on solving puzzles and the tpdb website, and no one is looking for clues in Tenda's games anymore.
Could this be a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain?
Maybe there is more than one clue hidden in Tenda's game?
Nowadays, players are too obsessed with the tpdb website, but forget to go back and look for it in the game. This is a trap!
Therefore, Qiao Liang decided decisively to mobilize his fans and look for it in other Tenda games!
Although many people have searched before, it is obvious that they did not search carefully, and there must be clues hidden in many places.
Qiao Liang is currently playing through previous levels in "Ghost General" to see if there is any special information hidden in this old game.
At this moment, his fan base suddenly became lively.
"I found it! It's in Game Maker!"
Qiao Liang hurriedly checked the screenshot sent by this fan.
The picture above is the step before an ending of "Game Producer". Qiao Liang has a certain impression of this ending, which is called "losing all his money", which means that after the game is released, the sales of the player's game are extremely high, no one cares about it, and he has no choice but to leave the game.
industry.
The scene in this picture is one step before the ending, which is the scene where the sales of the game are determined.
In this scene, there are disappointed fans, players yelling at each other, reports of sales crashing, and low-scoring criticism from the media...
There was a stack of documents on the ground in the corner of the room. Among the documents was an inconspicuous piece of paper with a long list of numbers written on it.
