Chapter 1239: Can’t Buy It, Really Can’t Buy It
(I have a fever, I feel sleepy after taking medicine, and my head feels groggy. I cannot revise the manuscript I wrote during the day. I will revise it when I wake up early tomorrow morning. Sorry!)
Jacobs had no objection to Wang Xiaojing's proposal, and his secretary immediately handed over the driver, who happened to be not far from the florist's flagship store in Beijing.
The flagship store directly operated by Zhonghuajia in Beijing covers an area of over 1,000 square meters on the first and second floors. There are exhibition areas for everything from cars to MP3s.
There is usually a lot of traffic, and it is the envy of the salespeople at other mobile phone brand direct stores nearby.
They also want to work at a flower grower, but the turnover rate of flower growers is too low, and even if they leave, it may not be their turn.
But the flow of people in the flagship store today made them even more stunned, because the store was already crowded and people were already queuing out.
What's more important is that more and more people are going this way.
No, it shouldn't be today, but 20 minutes ago, people started coming in a steady stream, and then the flow of people became more and more, so much that the store couldn't fit it in.
The only thing everyone said was that I want to buy the Jade Bird 6 mobile phone.
Of course, they, the salesmen of other brands, already knew that Flower Planter had suddenly launched the Jade Bird 6, and it was equipped with the world's first dual-core architecture mobile phone processor developed by the company.
Many of them are digital enthusiasts. If they were not working, they would also want to buy one.
This time, the flower grower made a request to consumers who purchased the Jade Bird 6. To some consumers, it seemed to be a rather unreasonable request.
That is, all consumers who purchase the Jade Bird 6 mobile phone must activate it on site. The explanation given is that the current production of Jade Bird 6 cannot keep up. In order to prevent scalpers from hoarding a large number of phones and reselling them at high prices, this strategy was taken.
However, this requirement did not cause dissatisfaction among consumers. Instead, they kept urging them to pick up the machine quickly, otherwise they would be afraid that the product would be out of stock soon.
It is precisely because of this sales strategy that the sales efficiency is slow. Even if not many machines have arrived, they are still not sold out despite the queues. After all, the number of salespeople is limited.
When Qualcomm and his team arrived, there was already a long queue outside the door, and security guards were already on site to maintain order.
Seeing this scene, Jacobs frowned deeper.
He had never thought that when the Huajia mobile phone was launched, many people would be willing to buy it due to curiosity and previous conflicts with them. After all, no matter which country he was in, there would be a group of patriotic people.
As for the final sales volume, whether it has sold as well as last year's Jade Bird series depends on the performance of this wafer and whether its optimization capabilities can keep up with mainstream wafers.
So I thought it would sell well when it was first launched, but I didn't expect it to explode to such an extent.
You must know that the flower grower has not done any publicity. It was less than half an hour after the official announcement of the official launch, but there was already such a long queue at the scene.
He found that he seemed to have underestimated the appeal of flower growers in the big Eastern countries, and also underestimated the stickiness of these consumers.
Not only was Accord Booth's face uncertain, Wang Xiaojing could certainly think of this, but he was more shocked.
Looking at this situation, if the wafer of Huazhongjia is not very crotch-stretching, even if it is a little worse than the mainstream mobile phone wafers, it will not affect the sales of mobile phones of Huazhongjia.
This also means that Qualcomm will lose the big customer of flower growers.
Wang Xiaojing always had a feeling that the decision made by the chairman this time was definitely a huge mistake.
Just after the people from Qualcomm went to line up, the announcement in the store rang.
"Hello dear guest, the Jade Bird 6 arriving in our store has been sold out, and the second batch of goods will arrive in the store in 4 days. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you!
You can find a salesperson to register and make a reservation. When the goods arrive, the salesperson will send you a text message to notify you and give you priority! "
This broadcast made your people complain, but no one made a fuss, because the flower grower's announcement already stated that capacity is limited and first come, first served.
And the on-site broadcast also said that if you register to make an appointment, they will be given priority when the next round of machines arrives.
Some people left disappointed and planned to try their luck at other directly-operated stores, while others still made reservations.
And the one who smiles the sweetest is the person who bought the machine.
When Jacobs heard the report from the staff who went to line up, he was speechless. Just when they were about to leave, the scene outside the directly-operated store almost shocked Jacobs.
Because he saw that someone had already held up a sign with words and numbers outside the store at this time, and he couldn't understand what those words meant.
Before he could ask Wang Xiaojing, he saw a man who had just walked out of the store with a new mobile phone. He saw the sign and walked over in confusion.
After saying a few words, he took the money handed over by the person holding the playing card, counted it, and gave the other person his mobile phone and all its accessories.
He had vaguely guessed what was going on. But he still asked without giving up:
"Wang, what are they doing? Are they selling the machine to another party?"
Wang Xiaojing also saw the transaction between the two people pointed at by his own chairman. He sighed and said:
"Yes, Chairman, the number 300 was written on the sign held by the other party. I bought it from the other party at an additional price of 300."
Jacobs got the confirmation, and his face became darker, because this meant that the product strength of the flower-growing family was deeply rooted in people's hearts, otherwise no one would rather pay a higher price to buy a mobile phone at this time.
Not far away, Jacobs saw the young man who had just sold the mobile phone was very proud. He waited in line for a while and earned 300 yuan, which was equivalent to his two-day salary. He was happy.
He suddenly found that more and more people were holding signs, and they all held the number of 500 yuan for the price increase. Looking at the 300 yuan he had just earned, he was not happy at all.
Yes, many people have come to their senses. This time, it is a bit difficult to queue up for a new phone at Bluebird 6, and the waiting time is also long.
So, for example, some digital bloggers who are not short of money immediately used their money.
Such a scene appeared in many stores today, and such a scene was quickly photographed and uploaded in the era of self-media.
In particular, many videos uploaded of people paying a higher price to buy mobile phones at the door of direct-operated stores have suddenly raised the popularity of this matter to a new high.
It can be said that this afternoon, all the self-media platforms, big and small, were all about the news about the release of Bluebird 6.
Especially the price increase, which made all the spectators discuss it enthusiastically.
"Damn, money is so easy to make. If you buy a mobile phone early, you can make hundreds of yuan. This is a bit outrageous!"
"Who said it's not, my monthly salary is only 1,500 yuan. Damn, they only took half an hour to make 1/3 of my monthly salary. Is this fair?"
"Damn, there is a direct-operated store of the flower grower downstairs of our company. I just watched the excitement and didn't go down.
Who knew that I missed 500 yuan."
"I am even more sad. I went to buy an MP3 today. When I saw the mobile phone on sale, I was in the store. If I wanted to buy it at that time, I would definitely buy it.
But I bought Suzaku 5 more than half a year ago, so I didn't change my mobile phone.
But who knew that they could make 500 yuan by taking it out at the door of the store. I want to cry."
Anyway, there are many people like this beating their chests and stamping their feet on the Internet.
In the general manager's office of Xikang Technology Co., Ltd., Feng Jun put down the phone and his face darkened.
Because the people who were sent out to buy Bluebird 6 all called back with the same answer, which was:
I can't buy it, I really can't buy it.
