Chapter 1368 Scalper’s Business Skills
Even though Pingguo's autumn press conference has been hyped up, in the Asian market where Jiuzhou Technology, Xia Xing and Xiawei have been operating for many years, Pingguo's product marketing has been criticized a lot, and even despised by young people.
Just as young netizens complained in the live broadcast room of Pingguo's press conference, they used Jiuzhou Technology's mobile phone private customization service and spent a few thousand yuan to design a phone that was better than Pingguo's iPhone 16. Why? Do you want to be the one who is taken advantage of?
On the other hand, the Prometheus technology installed in Pingguo iPhone 16 plus and iPhone 1ax has made many technology enthusiasts, mobile phone manufacturers and even computer manufacturers curious.
After all, the world's top chips have been "monopolized by Jiuzhou Technology for many years", and all sentient beings have long complained. Now that they see Pingguo firing the first shot of resistance, they all rush through various channels to inquire about Pingguo's cooperation plan for this technology, and How the technology actually works.
Another reason for people's curiosity about this technology is that at Pingguo's autumn press conference, Pingguo CEO Ku Ke didn't look like an executive who could introduce the product well, but looked like a very experienced sales expert.
This bad old man’s explanation of the iPhone 16 series technology is very superficial. Normal press conferences are all about selling feelings and talking about the future. Although the most glorious moment is reserved for Prometheus technology, but——
"Kuke said this, and the big screen behind him at the press conference showed the dynamics of chip acceleration, and then posted the ranking of their internally simulated chip running scores on the current ranking list. I am very skeptical. The feasibility of Prometheus technology, or the difficulty of this technology.”
Faced with Cheng Dong's teasing, Mr. Ren yawned, "It will be released soon. The scientists and engineers in our laboratory will dismantle it and we will know."
On September 26, Pingguo's autumn press conference was a complete success, and Pingguo's stock price ultimately rose by 6.3%.
On September 27, people lined up outside Pingguo's direct-operated store in Daxia all night, just to grab the mobile phone faster.
This scene, even in the first few years when Pingguo was lonely, would be staged whenever Pingguo released a new phone. However, in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer scalpers grabbing new phones, and the queues are not as scary as they were back then.
But this time, the Prometheus technology at the Pingguo press conference hit major Internet communities, and related advertisements were also placed on major platforms, so scalpers spent all their energy grabbing iPhone 678 and started queuing up all night.
“Get one of the three iPhone 16, 16 Plus and 1ax models!
What? Reinstate purchase restrictions, can one person only buy one? Then get the most expensive 1ax Ultimate Silver.
cash! "
As soon as the door was opened, the clerk of Pingguo Direct Store was very skilled in dealing with the crowded situation that had not been seen in a long time.
It can only be said that scalpers are more favored by merchants than ordinary consumers because they have fewer things to do and pay quickly.
An hour later, the directly-operated store's stock of pingo was cleared.
"Sorry sir, our store has no inventory. We only have the new generation of Pingguo watches and headphones. Or you can try the iPhone 15 and other products."
Upon hearing the salesperson's refusal, a young man who had been waiting in line for several hours collapsed on the spot.
"Impossible!!! It's only been an hour! No matter how little you stock up, it's impossible to sell out so quickly!
I am an old user of Pingguo. I have purchased and used every generation of iPhone. Where is the store manager? I want to file a complaint against you! "
"I'm sorry, sir, because our sales were lower than expected a while ago, so we have lowered the purchase volume. However, new machines will be put into storage tomorrow, so you can just wait a little."
Of course the store clerk would not say that his store manager had teamed up with him and others to stock up on hundreds of new iPhones, just waiting to make a fortune on platforms like Xianyu.
When the young man left the counter, a middle-aged man standing in line behind him did not believe in evil at all. He showed his Jiaolong mobile phone and said: "Prestige payment, the version of 1ax with the highest memory."
After being rejected by the clerk, he did not make a fuss like a young man, but turned around and left the counter.
When the middle-aged and young man left the Pingguo Direct Store, they saw several scalpers lining up not far away waving to them.
"1ax 30,000 Xia Yuan, fixed price, not activated yet."
Hearing this quotation, the middle-aged man frowned and said, "If I remember correctly, the official price of iPhone 1ax is only 9,999 Xia Yuan. Are you a little too shady to sell it for 30,000 yuan?"
Faced with the middle-aged man's frowning expression, the scalper sneered directly and said disdainfully to the young man next to the middle-aged man: "Little handsome boy, the latest version of iPhone 1ax is now only sold for 30,000 Xia Yuan.
I heard that some uploaders and trendy bloggers have purchased this thing for 35,000 yuan. I am also in urgent need of money right now, so I don’t want to go there and earn the extra 5,000 yuan.
You should also know how popular this phone is, right? Look at the people queuing up outside the store over there. There are hundreds, if not a thousand. "
The middle-aged man did not leave after rejecting the scalper's offer. He looked at the young man's thin shoulders shaking, and then heard the young man's trembling voice.
"Thirty thousand is too much. My savings, living expenses, Huabei and Baitiao add up to only twenty-five thousand. Brother, can you lower the price a little? Twenty-five thousand, I will buy it."
"Twenty-five thousand? How can this be possible! But I have a loan software here. You can try to verify your real name and then borrow some money. Don't worry, it is definitely a loan software from a formal channel. You are also a college student, so you should know that these things are not fake."
The middle-aged man looked at the expression of the young man next to him and hesitated for a moment. He was about to reach out to take the mobile phone handed over by the scalper, and immediately grabbed the young man's right hand.
"Your parents raised you up, just to let you borrow money to sell a junk phone? Go back to school quickly, get good grades, and make a lot of money in the future. What kind of phone can't you buy?
Now you are borrowing money, Huabei, Baitiao, and online loans, how can you pay it back?!"
The scalper saw that the steamed buns in his hand were about to fly away, and immediately showed his vicious face, shouting at the middle-aged man fiercely: "This guy has already reached adulthood, and he is also an adult. Adults have their own ideas. What are you preaching here? If you have the ability, give him the money and give him the latest Pingguo iPhone?"
"My money is also earned by myself, why should I give it to others? And you, a scalper, it's okay to earn the middle price honestly, but you actually lend people online loans. You are also black-hearted. Aren't you afraid that I will report you?"
