All-around genius Dai Li, holder of tens of thousands of invention patents, transmigrated into a novel. She became a scandal-ridden female celebrity in an entertainment circle story, burdened with ...
The mobile phone exhibition area has much more traffic than the accessories area, and the exhibition hall is also larger. Many dealers, digital bloggers and customers have rushed here after hearing the news.
This is the first large-scale electronics exhibition since the beginning of this year. It will be held for two consecutive days over the weekend, so Song Ji himself came and is currently receiving a digital blogger.
He paid this digital blogger to do the review, but he was just disguising himself as tap water.
The colleague who met Wu Xuelin looked in Song Ji's direction, but did not go up to him directly. Instead, he bumped into another colleague's arm.
"Guess who I just bumped into?"
"It's normal to run into acquaintances. Everyone in the exhibition area is from the same industry, so even if we don't know each other, they still look familiar."
"It's not an ordinary acquaintance, it's Wu Xuelin."
Another colleague quickly raised his head and looked around. Song Ji had made it clear in the company that Wu Xuelin had been poached by a rival company with a high salary.
He thought that he might meet Wu Xuelin in the industry in the future, but he didn't expect to meet her so early, and it was when their flagship phone was exhibited for the first time.
"Which booth is he in?"
"Not here, he's in the accessories section."
"Accessories section? Why is he in the accessories section?"
"He said he was selling power banks over there and asked if I wanted to buy any," the colleague said, stroking his chin in confusion. "Doesn't their company have other electronic products? They just sell accessories alongside their main products. Why would they request a separate booth in the accessories section?"
So there is only one possibility.
"Isn't his current company specializing in accessories?"
The young man next to him wearing black-framed glasses was previously a member of Wu Xuelin's team. He was recruited by Wu Xuelin and learned a lot from him.
After hearing his colleagues' conversation, he suddenly dropped the box he was holding heavily to the ground.
"He gave up all the hard work we put in. Why didn't he go to a better and bigger platform? I could have at least convinced myself that he was going to go and make accessories."
A colleague said, "But he said he's making a lot of money now. Even though he's making accessories, he can earn a million a year."
Before this, the man with black-framed glasses couldn't understand why Wu Xuelin left so suddenly, abandoning the work at hand without saying anything, catching the entire team off guard.
If Song Ji hadn't said that he should respect everyone's choice, that he and Wu Xuelin had parted ways through friendly negotiation, and that he had repeatedly told Wu Xuelin not to disturb her, the man with black-framed glasses would have really wanted to question Wu Xuelin in person.
Why would he give up the fruits of their hard work? Was money really that important to him? More important than his hard work? More important than the team they had fought alongside?
Now after hearing what my colleagues said, many questions seem to have answers.
A million-dollar annual salary is really a big temptation.
The man with the black-framed glasses smirked sarcastically, "A million-dollar annual salary? No wonder he's willing to drop all his projects, completely ignoring us, and jump ship without hesitation. He'd rather make quick money making accessories than put in the hard work of making a high-quality phone with great features."
Wu Xuelin had no idea how much more workload his departure had added to their lives.
His words made the atmosphere somewhat heavy.
Wu Xuelin's departure was a huge blow to the entire company, no less severe than the near bankruptcy a year ago.
Song Ji was the only one in the company whose emotions were not affected. He always maintained a positive attitude and was even more passionate than before, successfully stabilizing the uneasy hearts of the entire company.
As a result, his prestige in the company continued to rise.
"Why are you all standing here? Hurry up and put out the prototypes. There will be more people coming to the exhibition later, and everyone will want to try our new flagship phone." Song Ji suddenly appeared behind the booth.
He had finished an interview with a digital blogger, who had already started a live broadcast testing a new device. He took the opportunity to come in for a drink of water, only to see several employees slacking off.
However, he was in a good mood today, so he did not criticize the employees in person. He waved his hand and asked them to go back to work.
The other two hesitated for a moment and didn't say much. After all, today was a good day for their flagship phone to be exhibited, so why bother mentioning Wu Xuelin to spoil Song Ji's mood?
But the man with black-framed glasses was straightforward and immediately reported the matter to Song Ji.
"Brother Song, Wu Xuelin is also here to participate in the exhibition."
Song Ji's eyes flashed with panic, and then he subconsciously looked around: "Where is it?"
"He's not in our exhibition area. Tang Yueyang said he met him in the accessories exhibition area."
"Did you see him in the accessories section?"
The whole thing was revealed by the black-framed glasses, and Tang Yueyang, who met someone, had to tell Song Ji everything that had happened.
"He was pulling goods into the exhibition area. He was also here to participate in the exhibition. He seemed quite satisfied with his current job and said he could earn a million yuan a year."
Song Ji was very glad that Wu Xuelin did not tell the whole truth, but at the same time he was also worried about whether Wu Xuelin's claim that his annual salary was one million was true or not.
However, he was more inclined to believe that Wu Xuelin was bluffing and deliberately showing off in front of his former colleagues. Besides, how could he find a job with an annual salary of one million in such a short time?
What Song Ji thought in his heart was one thing, and what he said was another. He showed great magnanimity.
"As long as he can do a good job, I'd be happy if he could earn a million-dollar annual salary and have better development. I just hope that all our Yundu employees, whether they are current employees or those who leave Yundu, can have better development and higher incomes."
The employee wanted to say something, but he had already seen a customer coming in to look at the sample and was unwilling to waste time on an unimportant person.
"Okay, our most important job right now is promotion, so let's get back to the work at hand. The organizers are having a promotion this time. Not only will the top seller today receive a bonus, but tomorrow we'll also have our booth positioned in the most prominent spot in the main exhibition area. We'll also help promote our product on the LED screens outside for free, and our official Weibo account will also help promote our product. This is a great opportunity for promotion, so we need to work hard towards the top sales spot. If we do, I'll give you all bonuses."
The temptation of the bonus was ultimately more attractive than the unexpected event of Wu Xuelin, and no one continued to talk about him.
At this time, Sister Tu also found out about the organizer's activities, but she didn't feel any sense of participation in this event.
"There are over a thousand exhibitors, and those next to the main exhibition area are all well-known brands with a wide range of product types, high unit prices, and a fixed consumer market. How can a small accessory like ours possibly compete?"
"Mr. Tu, you don't understand the potential of the accessories market. Our unit price is lower, but our advantage is that we can sell in large quantities. Few people would impulsively buy a mobile phone worth several thousand yuan. They would definitely think twice, but a power bank worth 198 yuan doesn't require much thought at all."
Sister Tu asked Dai Li, "Isn't 198 too cheap? It should be at least 398, otherwise it would be a waste of your research and development, and we wouldn't make any money."
Wu Xuelin: "198 is more appropriate. If it's more expensive, it will be difficult to sell. Let's sell this batch in the exhibition area for 198 first, and then raise the price of the rest appropriately. We can say that 198 is the exhibition area's preferential price."
Dai Li: "Once we have sold the first 50,000 units, the rest will be sold at 398, regardless of whether they are sold in the exhibition area or not."
Sister Tu: "Daidai, do you think we can sell out all the goods today?"
Dai Li: "Otherwise, why would we ask him to move 50,000 pieces of goods? If he does the physical work, he'll have an excuse to eat an extra bowl of rice from me."
Wu Xuelin scratched his brow awkwardly.
Sister Tu smiled and said, "Okay, let's work hard to sell 50,000 pieces. Xiao Sanhua, you have to work hard too, okay?"
The little Sanhua meowed obediently, which was rare for her.
There was only room for two people between each booth. When they were discussing the price, the big brother selling home cameras in the next booth could hear everything clearly.
The eldest brother didn't want to say much, but he couldn't hold it in in the end. He put his hands on the booth and stretched his head to call Wu Xuelin.
"Brother, I have been attending the electronics exhibition for several years and am a regular here. I am going to tell you the truth, please don't be offended."
The three of them looked at each other, and Dai Li signaled Wu Xuelin to reply.
Wu Xuelin: "Brother, feel free to say whatever you want to say."
The eldest brother said: "From what I hear you're saying, you're selling power banks, right? You're not the only one selling power banks in this exhibition area. Go and ask around and see how much they're selling. Everyone's selling them for 45 or 55. Are you from some big international brand? If that's the case, I'm sure people will buy them even if they're selling them for 598, not 198."
Wu Xuelin: "It's a new brand we made ourselves."
The eldest brother propped his elbows on the table, straightened his upper body and glanced at the brand name on their roof. "I see, too. 'Energy Storage'? I've never seen you guys before. So let me ask you again, are you doing a cultural and creative collaboration?"
Wu Xuelin: “We haven’t done any collaborations either.”
The older brother, leaning on the countertop, crossed his arms and folded his arms across his chest. He said jokingly, "That's right. Cultural and creative collaborations can sell for 98, 198, or even 298. That's because their creations have fans. But you don't. You're not some international brand, nor are you a cultural and creative collaboration. Who would sell yours for 198? I just heard you want to raise the price. Big brother, I urge you to stop right away. I've seen too many young people like you who don't understand the market well enough and have lost everything."
Dai Li: "Brother, you may not know much about our products. We don't sell ordinary power banks. Ours have longer battery life and are smaller to carry."
The older brother waved his hand, indicating he didn't want to hear it. "Regardless of your level of skill, power bank technology isn't difficult at all. If you can do it, so can I. The market has already been divided up. You just said yours has better battery life, right? But the approved milliampere rating for airplane use is fixed. You can't make a power bank with a higher mAh rating. Everyone has the same battery life, and battery life isn't your competitive advantage."
"It's our market competitiveness, and our most advantageous market competitiveness," Dai Li said firmly, and placed an energy harvester on the eldest brother's booth. "Brother, if you don't know about our power banks, try them first."
They made the energy collector into the appearance of a cat, a long, flat cat strip, only the size of a coin.
The eldest brother picked up the cat-strip-shaped energy collector and looked at it from top to bottom and left to right.
"You said this is your power bank?"
Sister Tu asked proudly: "Brother, you have never seen such a power bank before."
"I haven't seen it. Has the technology of power banks been improved?" The eldest brother thought about it. He had never seen any young people using it. His daughter, for example, loved to buy this kind of novel electronic products. If there really was such a power bank, his daughter would have bought it home long ago.
He frowned instantly and threw the energy collector on the table. "You young people are not teasing me, are you?"
Wu Xuelin: "Brother, don't you have a cell phone? Take it out and try it, then you'll know if we're teasing you."
The brother pressed the interface according to the arrow icon on the energy collector and found that this interface was actually multifunctional and could be used by mainstream mobile phones on the market.
He was slightly amazed by the design of the interface, then he unplugged his phone that was using a power bank and inserted the interface into his own phone with some hesitation.
The phone was connected to the power supply instantly and showed that it was charging.
"That's quite interesting," the eldest brother said in surprise. "How long can it last? Is it enough to charge a cell phone?"
In the eyes of the big brother, their power bank is a creative product used for daily chores. It is the type that can charge, but only a little bit, after all, the capacity is limited.
He thought that if he put a link under the short video to sell this thing, he could sell a lot of it. Of course, the price would have to be lowered.
"Brother, you can use it and return it to us when it runs out of power. By the way, this power bank can also charge laptops, tablets and other digital products. You can try them all." Dai Li said.
She was not worried that the energy collector would run out of power. It was fully charged when she handed it to her brother. Moreover, the popular exhibition hall was crowded with people, so a lot of energy could be collected on site.
"Then I'll try it first." The eldest brother is also willing to try new things, and this power bank is so interesting.
Throughout the morning, there were few people in the accessories area. The flow of people was mainly concentrated in the main exhibition areas in the front. Among them, the game console exhibition area and the mobile phone exhibition area had the most people, and they were also the exhibition areas with the most young people.
Dai Li and his team's booth was not open all morning, but the big brother of the home camera next door sold an order. The customer was introduced by an old customer. After seeing the image quality of his product and trying to control it with a mobile phone, he placed an order on the spot for 20 units. It was said that they were to be installed in his own orchard.
Since they were all introduced by old customers, the boss had to receive them well. He left his employees at the booth and personally helped the customers deliver the goods to the car.
Before moving the goods, the eldest brother went to get his mobile phone and was surprised to find that the power bank next door was still charging his phone.
Dai Li just told him that all digital devices can be charged, so he tried them all out of curiosity.
He charged the tablet first, and then the laptop. After the customer came, he used the laptop to show the customer the camera shooting quality, taught him how to install the monitoring system, how to retrieve historical videos, how to download and store videos, and other operations. The laptop took more than two hours in total.
After I finished using the laptop, the battery level not only did not decrease, but it was charged from 39% to 100%.
Ten minutes ago, his phone battery ran out due to making calls and was only at 9%. He just charged it not long ago and now it is at 65%.
This battery life far exceeded my brother's imagination.
Not only does it have a long battery life, but its charging speed is also faster than most power banks on the market.
The eldest brother glanced at the deserted booth next door and found three people: one was in a daze, one was playing on the computer, and the other was plucking the cat's fur and being hit by the cat.
They all look like they have given up business.
I really want to share my experience with them right now, and tell them that the product is very useful. At worst, I can lower the price a bit and go to other exhibition halls to do business. Don't give up on yourself.
But he was busy right now, as customers were waiting for him to deliver the goods.
The eldest brother could only grab his mobile phone and think about delivering the customer's goods first, and deal with the rest of the things when he comes back, because the main battlefield is in the afternoon.
He had to deliver the goods to the customer at the parking lot. This road also led to the subway entrance and had the most traffic.
The big brother pushed the trailer and dodged left and right in the crowd, but he still couldn't avoid it. He hit someone and the goods fell to the ground.
The people he bumped into were two cosplayers dressed as game characters. The two cosplayers were running in a hurry and didn't see the road clearly.
So the eldest brother and they kept apologizing to each other.
Then the two COSERs enthusiastically helped the big brother pick up the goods and put them in the trailer.
The eldest brother apologized and thanked her without stopping: "Thank you, thank you, I'm so sorry, ladies. I hope you are not hurt."
The cosplayer in the pink wig said: "No, no, we reacted quickly and dodged in time."
"Brother, your phone fell." Another coser with a golden wig helped the brother pick up the phone. When he was about to return it, he found the "cat strip" energy collector underneath.
"Brother, your dust plug is so cute. Where did you buy it? Do you have a link?"
The eldest brother said: "This is not a dust plug, it is a power bank."
The girl with the pink wig poked her head out and looked around curiously: "Power bank? Such a small power bank? Can it charge?"
The older brother turned on the screen and said, "Look, it's charging. It hasn't even been half an hour and I've already charged it from 9% to 88%."
Blonde Wig: "So fast, even faster than my fast charging head."
The girl with the pink wig pointed at the battery level, her eyes widening in surprise. "It's at 95% now."
Seeing that the two young girls seemed to be interested, the older brother busied himself helping the neighbors promote their products.
"This power bank is sold at our exhibition, Hall 18, Booth C71. We have cats like mine, including orange cats, cow cats, calico cats, tortoise shell cats, and so on. There are all kinds of styles to choose from. It can charge not only phones, but also tablets and laptops. Even the camera around your neck can be charged with an adapter. The battery life is also very long. I've been using it since this morning, and it has fully charged my laptop and phone..."
The man wanted to continue explaining in detail the advantages of this power bank, but the customer in front was already getting impatient.
He hurriedly pushed the goods over, and as he walked, he turned back and emphasized to the two girls: "Hall 18, booth C71, don't forget."
I watched the enthusiastic salesman leave.
The blonde wig asked, "Do you want to go check it out?"
The pink wig said, "Let's go check it out. Anyway, we still have more than an hour before we go on stage. The orange cat power bank is so cute, it's okay to buy one to play with. As long as it can be charged once, it's fine."
They are popular COSERS invited by the game manufacturer to perform on the show, so they dressed up as game characters today.
Blonde wig: "If there are more styles, we can buy more and give them to fans when we interact on stage."
The two hit it off immediately and ran towards Hall 18 hand in hand.
The three people at booth C71 did not treat themselves badly at all, even though the booth had not opened yet, and had their meal early.
Tang Yueyang, who had met Wu Xuelin before, was now with a few colleagues, hiding behind someone else's booth and looking at Dai Li and their booth.
They sneaked over here during the meal break.
After all, it was a big thing like Wu Xuelin, and I might not be able to take care of him when I was busy, but when I had some free time to eat, I naturally thought of him again.
A few curious colleagues took the opportunity of going to the toilet and sneaked into Hall 18.
Among them was a female colleague who had liked Wu Xuelin for a long time. At this moment, she was simply longing for him and felt like she was in love with him at first sight.
Tang Yueyang: "Okay, we should go back. If we stay out for too long, we'll be discovered."
The female colleague didn't want to leave: "Please let me look at my Snow God for a while. After this farewell, it will be difficult for us to meet again."
Tang Yueyang: "The exhibition will last for two days, so you can say goodbye tomorrow."
The female colleague wiped away her non-existent tears and cursed Song Ji as she walked away: "Song Ji, this hypocritical villain, I think the Snow God was driven away by him."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Wu Xuelin left of his own accord. He's now earning a million dollars a year. If someone forced me to take a job that pays a million dollars a year, I would thank his entire family."
"Look at his deserted exhibition area. He doesn't look like he earns a million dollars a year. The Snow God has a lot of suffering on his mind, but he just doesn't want to say it. He's just putting on a forced smile in front of you. A tree that stands out in the forest will be crushed by the wind. He must be too good, so the villain Song Ji squeezed him out and robbed him of his achievements. Now a great god has been reduced to selling power banks. What a beautiful, strong and tragic man."
Tang Yueyang couldn't stand her anymore, so he pushed her away and walked ahead alone.
"What I said makes sense, don't disbelieve it..." The female colleague hurriedly chased after him.
At the same time, the two COSERs finally found booth C71.
In fact, they were also nervous when they came in, thinking it was too lonely.
Before this, Dai Li put a collar around Xiao Sanhua Zhaocai's neck, with their products hanging below.
Dai Li scratched its chin and instructed, "Go to crowded places to solicit business."
Little Sanhua Zhaocai immediately jumped to the ground and ran towards the entrance of the exhibition hall with cheerful steps.
As soon as I ran to the door, I heard someone say, "Hall 18, this is it right? Where is booth C71 selling kitten power banks?"
Hearing the name of his booth, Xiao Sanhua Zhaocai's ears moved and he turned around to look at the two humans behind him.
It immediately jumped over and rubbed the two people's legs with its cat's tongue, stopping them in their tracks.
The two people felt the furry touch and looked down: "Wow, what a cute cat, it's so fat and cute!"
"She's so cute, she's just like the cat of my dreams," the girl with the pink wig half-knelt down, "Mimi, can you let me touch you? Can I touch you?"
The little Sanhua Zhaocai meowed and immediately squatted down without moving. It was impossible to turn over its belly. No one could move its belly except its owner!
The two of them squatted down one after another and took turns touching its head.
"Wow, it lets people touch it, it's so affectionate."
"Your fur is so soft and fluffy, it feels so good to touch!"
Xiao Sanhua Zhaocai raised her head when she was touched, and deliberately revealed the energy collector hanging under her collar.
Sure enough, the two humans noticed it immediately.
"This power bank! It seems to be the same model as my brother's."
"Mimi, is this yours?"
The little Sanhua Zhaocai meowed, then jumped up and took two steps forward, then looked back at the two of them.
The blond wig asked his companion, "Is it leading us?"
Little Sanhua Lucky Number: "Meow meow~"
Pink Wig: "It's like it's saying 'yes'."
So the two of them followed, with Xiao Sanhua Zhaocai leading the way, occasionally looking back to confirm whether they were following.
Pink Wig: "This cat is so smart. Why is my rebellious son only able to poop and disobey me?"
Little Sanhua Zhaocai brought them to their booth C71 with ease, jumped onto the booth table, and meowed proudly at the people inside. It was obvious that he was asking for rewards.
Following closely behind were two customers.
Sister Tu never dreamed that their first batch of customers would be brought by this stupid cat.
