Rebirth: Let's Talk About 1984

According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.

Chapter 671 Mushroom Head

"Okay! You can start researching it, but after you finish running the data packets, attack the satellite data first to find weaknesses so we can strengthen our defenses."

Seeing Xiao Tian nod, Xing Baohua came up to the ground. As the boss, he did have a lot to do.

Fortunately, his secretary, Xie Yingying, did a lot of work for him.

The Sky Eye project did indeed hold Xing Baohua back, preventing him from focusing on promoting the π business.

However, the promotion data, the number of stores established, the amount of consumption, and the percentage of losses all need to be compiled into reports and submitted to Xing Baohua for review.

Xing Baohua delegated authority to Xie Yingying. For now, they didn't care about the speed of promotion or the proportion of consumption; they only focused on the amount of loss.

These are all real losses; the money drain is visible to the naked eye. A stop-loss limit must be set.

Even if it means spending money recklessly, you have to control yourself and persevere until rounds ABCD.

Losing billions is bearable. Even if we expand the market, losing over 10 billion can be barely sustained depending on the proportion. However, once the consumer market is established, the resulting consumption figures will be much more attractive.

Therefore, Xing Baohua took a hands-off approach to this promotion in Europe and America. Looking at the reports from various sources, the results weren't ideal; foreigners seemed slow to accept new things. Through surveys, many foreigners remained wary of Pi and didn't really believe it could bring any benefits.

The vast majority of people who use the π discount program are young people, and some merchants even collude with outsiders to launch promotional activities.

They profit from the price difference in Xing Baohua's loss-reduction discount system. Experienced users know the rules: first-time users receive very large discounts, but after a few transactions, they find that subsequent discounts are less significant.

So, some merchants have started to resort to dishonest means, specifically targeting those who haven't registered, not only taking back the goods they bought but also giving them a certain amount of cash.

Merchants selling large items sent people to promote their products wherever there were crowds, and even put up signs offering $50 to anyone who registered.

I brought my laptop to register on the spot. According to the salesperson, homeless people on the streets of America line up for ages just to get fifty dollars.

This is also the message that came from the feedback: the shareholders of π Group want Xing Baohua to come up with a way to plug this loophole.

There's not much you can do. He set the rules of the game, and the only way to avoid this loss is to change the rules.

However, this defeats the purpose of the discount; without such an incentive, how can new users be attracted? Another method is to analyze the backend data to see which merchant has the most transactions with new users. Set a limit, allowing the first three new users to enjoy significant discounts, with subsequent discounts gradually decreasing.

This is also a way to give shareholders an explanation and a way to stop losses.
