Chapter 389 Selling Helmets

"Learn a few more languages. They will come in handy. It's so annoying to rush to learn them!"

Su Yu complained while working.

She is so tired!

Shencheng Yanleyuan made too much money, and she wanted to lie down.

"You think we don't want to? We have to work two jobs!"

"I haven't had a day off in ten days!"

"Bah, as long as you leave the room, you say it's not a vacation. Who can take this kind of vacation? If you have the guts, don't go out to eat!"

Everyone was chatting about work, and the more they talked, the more tired they felt, and some even wanted to strike.

…

“Finally, we can go online.”

It has been half a year since Su Yu notified the launch of the real holographic game.

In the past six months, the military has tested it. This game not only does not restrict thinking, but also helps to develop thinking and make people's thinking more active.

For those who are already talented, this is a burden. Holographic games allow them to use their brains to their heart's content and do what they want to do. But their bodies can't keep up!

Therefore, in the base, a group of weaklings were running desperately on the playground, leaving the new recruits staring with their eyes wide open.

"What's wrong with them?"

"No speaking in tongues, report before asking questions! Do fifty prone push-ups!"

"yes!"

The person who asked the question finished the task obediently. The others did not dare to say anything.

After doing fifty push-ups, the recruit still didn't understand.

"Report to the commander!"

"say!"

“Why don’t they need to be punished?”

The recruits were very dissatisfied. The way they ran on the playground was not even as good as the way they ran on the first day!

"You are soldiers, they are scholars, can you be the same? Can you draw a design?"

During the beta test of the holographic game, many experts and scholars in the industry were notified. In order to maintain confidentiality, the beta test of this game was only conducted in major military bases!

When the scholars who came here found that their physical condition was not good, they immediately took action.

Because these scholars wanted to exercise, a group of doctors came to their base. After all, if any of them got hurt in the brain, it would be a loss for their country.

The new recruits present stood up suddenly, and they no longer felt unbalanced!

On the day the holographic game was launched, the one million helmets that the country had originally planned to launch were sold out within a minute.

"One million is gone? That's one million!"

Su Yu was urged to deliver the goods by Meng Xianle in person, and she felt very upset!

She was a figurehead throughout the whole process, and she had no control over the cash flow, okay? She could only get a researcher's salary, and the company would get a little compensation every month as a figurehead fee!

The real technicians and researchers, except for her who was a semi-staff member, were all staff members. The game's main server was also top secret, and even she, a developer, was not qualified to go and see it.

Of course, she knows where the things are, as she has oolong tea.

"Yes, Mr. Su, those who didn't get the chance have already occupied my comment section, and yours should be about the same."

After Meng Xianle finished speaking, representatives from several departments also came up.

"Mr. Su, the department that produces helmets is under your direct jurisdiction. Can you contact them?"

Everyone in the Su Group knew that Su Yu was very particular about keeping the new game confidential. Even the HR and Finance departments didn't know the number of people in the new holographic game studio and their salaries. Even the initial investment was paid from Su Yu's private account, and no one knew the specific information.

Therefore, when they wanted to urge their colleagues, they couldn't find anyone!

If you can’t find your colleagues, you can only find your boss!

"What's wrong?"

“You know the fear of opening social media and being bombarded with thousands of messages? Our phones are freezing!”

Su Yu hates people being traitors the most. Therefore, no one in Su Group would risk losing their job in this semi-state-owned enterprise by revealing any inside information.

Unless their superiors intentionally ask them to reveal information, they usually treat themselves as invisible people and never say a word about internal affairs.

But it’s not possible now!

As soon as I opened a few commonly used apps, my phone would freeze, seriously affecting my normal work and life.

"Has the netizen reached this point? Didn't he just place the order? The server hasn't even been officially launched yet!"

【Luckily I didn’t watch it! 】

Oolong Tea nodded, "It's all hard-earned money, it has nothing to do with you, it's useless to watch it."

No matter how popular it is, the revenue belongs to the government. Oolong Tea is not angry. This is one of the things it discussed with Su Yu in exchange for freedom. It had expected this.

If this kind of advanced technology, which should be monopolized, is given to enterprises, it will send a dangerous message and will be detrimental to national stability.

The few people who came up to urge it also want to know why those netizens are urging it so hard!

Meng Xianle asked weakly, "Boss Su, we have Su's, do we have any benefits?"

The price of the helmets this time is not cheap, NT$20,000 each. Meng Xianle really doesn't understand why so many people want to buy them at this price? They are even asking for money online!

Foreign ones are more expensive, costing 40,000 yuan each, which is already considered a luxury item. But at this price, 500,000 yuan, it is still a best-seller!

It is said that no scalper, whether domestic or foreign, was able to buy a second one.

Several other supervisors also looked at Su Yu eagerly with expectant expressions.

"Well, I don't even have a helmet myself, can you believe it?"

Meng Xianle had a conflicted look on his face, and it was obvious that he didn't quite believe it.

Su Yu sighed, "I'll call and ask, but it may not work."

Several supervisors were shrewd people and soon realized that there was something fishy going on here. They came up to ask questions with some regret.

It’s dangerous to know too much!

"Sister Yingying, do you have any stock left? My account is going to explode!"

Lu Yingying calmly drank her tea and said, "I see. I'll ask the operations department to issue a notice later. We'll ship another batch of 500,000 at 6 o'clock."

“What benefits does our company offer?”

Lu Yingying paused as she put down the cup. "You know, it can't be given away for free. Are you going to pay for it yourself?"

Lu Yingying thought about the number of employees at Su's and said, "If you buy them all, there's no need to put them on the shelves. There may not be enough."

Su Yu did the math and said, "If I buy the entire group out of my own pocket, it will cost at least 5 billion. I can't afford it!"

She had to sell some of her assets to be able to pay.

"Let's buy 10,000. Give some to relatives and some to employees and senior executives with outstanding performance. If there are not enough points, we'll have a lottery. For the others, can we have priority purchasing rights?"

Ten thousand may sound like a lot, but if they are to be given to the outstanding senior executives and employees of the Su Group, Su Yu's companies, Su Xi's companies and Ji Yan's companies, it is not enough!

The department leaders present were also excited for a moment, but soon returned to reality. The boss must be crazy to use 5 billion to give benefits to employees.

Two hundred million are being taken out now. Although part of it will be given to Su Yu's family and probably to good partners, the remaining money is also a considerable sum of money.

They are very clear-headed and should be thankful for having the right of first refusal!

Lu Yingying was indeed in a difficult situation.

As I said before, Su Yu and Su’s company have too many employees!

If they act as scalpers and buy up all these helmets, wouldn't netizens be in an uproar?

"I'm worried that some of your employees are middlemen. It's not a good reputation for an official company to be a scalper."

Lu Yingying knew from the online status that helmets would be scarce for a long time. Su's employees knew that they had the right to buy first, so they might sell this qualification.

Most of the excellent employees and senior managers don't lack this little money and won't do this. But it's not necessarily the case for ordinary employees. A helmet worth 20,000 yuan can easily be sold for 200,000 yuan in the market. Can ordinary employees resist this temptation?

"Then notify me now and I'll make the link right away. It will only take one minute. I won't wait for you later!"

The supervisor on the scene immediately took out his mobile phone and prepared to grab the helmet.

"You do it first, I'll report it to my superiors."

Lu Yingying came back quickly and asked Su Yu to send the link to her.

"Ten thousand. I'll have the operations department make an announcement later. You can do the same. The helmets will be available at 6pm every day. If you haven't grabbed one yet, you can continue to buy it. When buying, you must complete the facial recognition verification within ten seconds and then fill in your identity information."

"Okay, how many can we put on the shelves this afternoon?"

"It's still 500,000. Your company can grab the other part, which is 500,000 at most. The inventory that can be mobilized now is 1 million, no more."

"No problem! I'll ask the operations department to issue a notice first."

Su Yu turned on her mobile phone and posted a short message on social media while speaking.

Meng Xianle wrote it down, slightly polished it, and posted it using Su's public account.

Other supervisors and leaders of various subsidiaries tacitly forwarded the news from Su Yu and Su's official account.

Internet users are cheering and gearing up for the scramble which will start at 6pm.

At the Su's headquarters, Su Yu and Lu Yingying communicated well, called Su Xi and Ji Yan, sent them the link, and immediately sent a message using Su's internal APP, giving a one-minute notification countdown. The rush began after the countdown ended.

There are 500,000 helmets, and facial verification is required on the spot. They cannot be resold or purchased twice. Some employees who received the notice were hesitant about the helmets, which are worth NT$20,000.

The same is true for the companies under Ji Yan and Su Xi's names. All employees have the right to purchase, but not everyone is willing to spend 20,000 yuan on themselves at once.

The one-minute countdown ended quickly, and the inventory dropped rapidly. Then, one minute later, the order was closed. Those who did not have facial verification lost the opportunity to buy. And those who were still filling in their identity information and paying only had one minute left.

In just five minutes, this huge sales event was over.

Lu Yingying looked at the backstage and said, "Not bad. We only bought about 200,000. We have a lot in stock. We can sell more tonight."

…

On the day the game was officially launched, Su Yu tried on the official helmet at the base.

Tang Can and Liang Yan were very confused at the time, wondering why she didn't stay at the Su family and log in with everyone.

The reason Su Yu gave was that when she logged in to the base, her authority was that of an administrator. But when she logged in here, she was just an ordinary player!

Liang Yan and Tang Can both understand the happiness of a privileged dog.

They all wanted to see the authority dog, and excitedly asked Su Yu to come find them as soon as she came online!

Su Xi and the others had no objection. If it weren't for the holographic game being made by Su Yu, they wouldn't have played it.

Su Yu is online, and she is in a fiercely competitive cultivation area.

When choosing their birthplace, most players chose the Xiuxian area. The second most popular area was the Forest area, the third was the Ancient area, the fourth was the Republic of China area, and the fifth was the Modern area.

The modern area is a low-end area, but it is also the most comfortable area for players.

Tang Can and Liang Yan were born in the modern area. Wearing ordinary short-sleeved shirts and long pants, they looked at the busy crowd around them with curiosity.

"Do you play games and work part-time?"

A player with the ID "Happy" nodded and said, "Who would have thought that the price of gaming rooms is so cheap? If you don't choose a good seat now, as more people come, there will be fewer good seats!"

After she finished speaking, she ran off to deliver something. Running errands is the most tiring job, but it is also the easiest job to grab.

They are standing there like idiots. Either they are really stupid and haven’t read the official summary of the game before entering, or they are rich!

When Su Yu came over wearing the clothes of an ordinary immortal cultivator, Liang Yan and Tang Can were already waiting for her in the house that Su Xi and his friends had bought.

"Wow, is the Xiuxian District fun?"

“The clothes are very ordinary too!”

"This ordinary look is so strange!"

"It's just a fake skin. We have a record of it online. The same helmet occupies a character. It's impossible that it was a male disciple yesterday and a female disciple today, right? But the appearance can be changed. If you want to see it, I can change it for you. It's free. You can take a look at the actual quality and then decide which one to buy."

Su Yu changed her clothes one by one. In the eyes of Tang Can and Liang Yan, the most beautiful ones were of course the Phoenix Feather Clothes of the Immortals, which were radiant and colorful, and very beautiful! The most bizarre ones were the clothes of some beastmen and robots, which were hard to comment on!

"If you want to be a scenic party, you can buy a pass. There are mostly foreign players in the forest area, and most of the other areas are players from our country. Except for the modern area and the cultivation area, it is not recommended to go to other areas, you will regret it."

Liang Yan tilted his head, "Sister Xiaoyu, I saw the videos they posted before I went online. They were very beautiful. Why don't you go?"

The ancient area has authentic natural scenery, the clothes are also fairy-like, and there are various hairstyles to choose from. It is a very good and comfortable area!

From this we can see that Su Yu must have had a hard time!

“It’s really beautiful. But if you don’t want to see flies flying and mosquitoes biting you every few steps, I suggest you don’t go.”

Holographic games are a near one-to-one reproduction of the real world. The environment in ancient times was not very bad. The reason there was no pollution was that there were no particularly large pollutants in their choices.

In ancient times when sanitation was a problem, wherever there were poor people, there would basically be all kinds of insects running rampant!

The players excitedly arrived in ancient times, but were quickly taught a lesson!

Dilapidated houses, expensive rents, and a life without human rights haunt them all the time!

Players in the ancient area are crying!

But they don’t want others to know that they have been cheated, so they can only work hard to look good and trick more people into sharing the burden!

Neither Liang Yan nor Tang Can had expected this.

"Is it the same in other places? Is only the modern area the best?"
