Chapter 585: You Might Make a Killing, But I Never Lose
Because the price was very high, over five thousand, with the top configuration reaching six thousand.
So, even with so many discounts and the addition of the new “Super Beauty” feature, Jiang Xu didn’t have confidence he could sell all 65,000 units.
He estimated that selling 30,000 would be quite an achievement.
However, after the product launch, the outcomes greatly exceeded Jiang Xu’s expectations.
…
In Hua City, in a certain Internet cafe.
A young couple was watching the live stream.
After seeing Jiang Xu’s introduction, the girl’s eyes lit up.
She grabbed her boyfriend’s arm and shook it vigorously, “That phone is so cool, I don’t care, you have to buy it for me.”
Her boyfriend felt a bit troubled, “But the price is too high, over five thousand, that’s almost half of my monthly salary.”
“Fine, if you don’t buy it, then I’ll change boyfriends.” The girl said, standing up ready to leave.
The man hurriedly pulled her back, “Okay, okay, I’ll buy it, isn’t that enough?”
…
In Deep City, in a certain residential area.
A husband and wife were also watching the live stream.
After the woman saw the “Super Beauty” feature introduced by Jiang Xu, she couldn’t take her eyes off of it, staring intently at her husband.
Her husband smiled wryly, feeling the pinch, and said, “All right, I’ll buy.”
He knew that if he didn’t buy it, he wouldn’t be able to sleep in his own bed for a month.
…
Similar situations unfolded across the country.
The features that this phone offered were simply irresistible to all women.
…
Fifty seconds!
In just fifty seconds, all 65,000 high-end phones were sold out.
That was a sales volume of over three hundred million, completed in less than a minute!
“My god, is that exaggerated?” An Nuonuo covered her mouth, equally shocked.
Jiang Xu could only smile wryly; he had indeed underestimated everyone’s purchasing power and enthusiasm.
In the live stream, some users who hadn’t managed to snag a purchase were leaving messages asking Jiang Xu to put up another batch.
Jiang Xu smiled wryly and said, “I’m really sorry, but there are none left.
You can settle for the next best thing and buy one of the slightly cheaper models.
The money you save can buy a gift for your girlfriend or even treat yourself to a foot massage or something. That’s quite nice too.”
It must be said that Jiang Xu understood marketing.
Because of his words, many users turned to purchase mid-range phones, spurring another wave of sales.
Five minutes before the end of the live stream, Jiang Xu announced the sales figures for the evening early.
“Thank you all for your support tonight. Tonight, we’ve sold a total of 920,000 phones of various types.
The one priced at 698 sold a total of 420,000 units.
The 998 one sold a total of 280,000 units.
The 1599 one sold a total of 160,000 units.
The ones over 5000 sold a total of 65,000 units.
The total sales volume is over twelve billion!”
When Jiang Xu announced this figure, naturally, the entire internet was abuzz.
Selling so many phones in one evening was something nobody would have even dared to dream of in the past.
Many publicly traded companies don’t even make a billion in sales in a year.
And the profit margins were also quite substantial.
Take the lowest-end phone, for example.
It looked like offering many League of Legends skins was a loss.
In reality, skins don’t cost much to produce.
It’s just a matter of getting a graphics designer to create an image and then having tech staff upload it.
While it’s not a business with no costs at all, the cost definitely wouldn’t exceed one hundred thousand.
Plus, they could make a few tens of yuan off each phone sold due to the software.
Just from the low-end models, the profit was enough.
As for the mid-to-high-end ones, they made even more.
This twelve billion in sales could, at the very least, yield a net profit of two to three billion.
Jiang Xu immediately added, “To thank everyone for their support, all users who purchase a phone in the live stream tonight,
can use their order number to redeem inscriptions on the League of Legends official website.
Of course, if you redeem the inscription, non-quality issues will not be eligible for a return.”
This announcement instantly elicited cheers from all the users.
It felt like they had really hit the jackpot tonight.
Buy a phone and get so many extra things.
To this, Jiang Xu could only say, you may make a killing, but I never lose.
In the end, he added, “As an entrepreneur, while making money one must not forget to give back to society.
So I’ve decided to donate one yuan for charity every time a phone is sold tonight.”
I want to make money, and I want prestige too!
…
“Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!”
Lifuzhen, who watched the livestream throughout, had a drastic change in her expression, standing up from her chair, looking uncertain.
I thought Jiang Xu was just fooling around, a mere clown at best, selling fifty or sixty thousand units would already be incredibly lucky.
But who would have thought the livestream would be such a blast, so unbelievable.
A few hours of livestreaming, and so many phones were sold.
Lifuzhen suddenly felt a deep sense of crisis.
The domestic user base is only so big.
If so many people bought Jiang Xu’s phones, my own cell phone sales will definitely be greatly affected.
Lifuzhen’s expression kept changing.
She then quickly took out her phone and called her agent over in Dragon country, “Cut the price of all phones by fifteen percent for me, hammer them to death!”
The agent was shocked, “With such a cut, wouldn’t we be losing half the profit on each phone?”
“Don’t worry about that, just do it!” Lifuzhen said irritably.
The agent dared not say more and complied.
After hanging up the phone, Lifuzhen clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth.
Truth be told, she must be a bit too rash right now, acting without her usual rationality.
In the language of novels, she had become “dumber.”
…
“Just as expected of the man I admire, he’s amazing.”
After watching the livestream, Jiang Xiaoyan was so excited that her body shook.
Her gaze towards Jiang Xu was filled with desire.
Then, she began again…
…
“Awesome, awesome!”
Zhou Qingyue stood up, cheering loudly.
Jiang Xu’s success, in her eyes, was akin to her own.
“I’ve helped him attract so much traffic this time, he should improve his opinion of me a little, right?” Zhou Qingyue thought to herself.
…
The Mei Family.
Mei Jibo, Mei Youdiao, and Mei Jiji exchanged looks, speechless.
After a while, Mei Jibo gave a wry smile, “It seems we were mistaken.”
Of course, that’s just what he said on the surface.
In reality, Mei Jibo recognized Jiang Xu’s abilities, it was all just an act.
Mei Youdiao said seriously, “Now we should discuss what to do next.”
…
After the livestream ended, Jiang Xu closed his laptop and casually lay on An Nuonuo’s legs, “I’m hungry, I want you to feed me ‘imported’ food.”
