Chapter 252 Extra 7: The Love of a Star-Chasing Girl Is Passionate Wherever She Goes (Part 2)
Xu Kaiming walked onto the stage wearing a black suit.
He already knew that everyone was setting up stalls online to promote him.
He was very moved: "Thank you to all the girls who watched the live broadcast."
The people in the audience were stunned. In the past, it was assumed that the audience for technology press conferences were mainly male, and the speakers would explain the various parameter settings on the stage.
But are all the girls here? Ugh...that's weird!
The fans in the live broadcast room went crazy.
"Although it's immoral, Xu Kaiming looks so handsome in a suit!"
"You relied on this beauty to win Sister Duo over, didn't you?"
"Why are you dressed so handsomely? You look like a peacock spreading its feathers."
"I used to say that Brother-in-law Duo eats well, but now I realize that Sister Duo eats pretty well too."
Everyone is making fun of it online!
Xu Kaiming's press conference was simple and clear, mainly describing the efforts they have made over the years, including their in-depth collaboration with various AI algorithms to develop more than five pet personalities to meet daily companionship and emotional needs.
"The price of similar 'electronic pets' on the market is around 5,000. Ours is 2,999," Xu Kaiming said.
The barrage of comments was filled with the words "connect" being swiped frantically.
The person who leaked the information about Xiao Moushu online had already revealed the price, and everyone has accepted it.
But at this moment, Xu Kaiming turned to the next page of the PPT.
In that picture, there is a big cross on the retail price of 2999, and an early bird price of 1099 is written next to it.
The price plummeted by two-thirds. From around 3,000 to just over 1,000. Everyone watching the livestream was shocked. It was a familiar recipe. Brother-in-law Duo never let anyone spend more money.
Everyone is ready to buy it at 2999, so what can we say now it’s 1099? We must go all out!
Xu Kaiming said, "I know that most of the friends watching online today are here because they love my wife. I've seen everything you've done, thank you. Last night, I had an actuary calculate the price at 603. Because of the packaging, transportation, costs, and the very high R&D expenses, we have to sell it at this price to break even."
"But I don't think it's enough!" As soon as he finished speaking, the scrolling comments on the Internet stopped for a few seconds.
Some people seemed to realize what he was about to say.
As expected, he said: "The final order placed today is 499, the in-app purchase price, and the online link is fully open."
In a flash, more than 10 million people out of the original 20 million in the live broadcast room left and went to the platform to place orders.
It dropped from 3,000 to 499. I feel like I’m losing out if I don’t place an order.
As soon as Xu Kaiming finished his story, the big screen switched to the shopping platform's statistics.
The bosses in the audience didn't expect him to invest so much in R&D and not reap the benefits in the first wave. Some were pessimistic, thinking he was just another rich young master, full of idealism!
I even feel a little sorry for this company, fearing it will be finished within a month.
It's common to hear that technology is expensive. Not only does it cost R&D, but there are also employee costs, and to put it bluntly, office space and even electricity costs.
With his pricing, it was unrealistic to expect to recoup his investment. The bigwigs in the audience even thought they shouldn't have been there. As a businessman, the worst thing you can do is not make a profit.
But the next moment, the noise from the audience suddenly became louder.
Because the number of statistical words was increasing crazily, the speed reached a rapid growth rate per second. It reached 100,000 in three seconds and exceeded 200,000 in ten seconds.
In thirty seconds, the number skyrocketed to a staggering half a million.
One million units per minute.
"Fuck." The big guys in the audience were a little overwhelmed.
But the number is still growing, 5 million units in three minutes, 10 million units in ten minutes!
That's five hundred yuan, not fifty cents.
Generally, it is very good for a technology company to sell 100,000 units a month. What happened to this company?
After the number of units sold exceeded 10 million, the live broadcast was shut down and the product was also sold out and removed from the shopping platform.
The bigwigs in the audience looked at each other in confusion. Could it be that women have the strongest purchasing power in the field of technological innovation?
This was a huge shock to their hearts.
I was dissatisfied with Xu Kaiming's selfish behavior before, but now I don't think so at all.
The big guys who can come to participate are all very sensitive to the market.
Domestic electronic components, assembly costs, AI storage information servers, and big data algorithm licensing are all reasonably priced. The most expensive part is research and development.
In other words, the stuff doesn’t cost much.
But R&D and patents are very expensive. But what else can we say when we can sell tens of millions of copies?
If you spread the profit across each product, he can still make a profit, and a lot of it!
They even reshuffled the "electronic pet" category.
I underestimated him before.
Xu Kaiming did not play by the rules, and ended up looking like a rookie to the big guys in the audience.
The internet was abuzz with activity. Was the price of 499 a joke? Who could afford it?
Almost everyone owns one, and some people with higher budgets buy three or five.
After sharing their purchase orders online, fans couldn't help but ask, "Are there any million-dollar benefits?"
"Send a small card?"
Those in the technology circle were shocked by the fan circle.
Many people envy this traffic.
But after some investigation, I found that the traffic was too pure, and they were just fans of Sister Duo's peripheral products.
They are not interested in this kind of technological stuff, they just want to support Brother Duo's business.
In other words, this consumer group with huge purchasing power cannot be taken away by others.
This is embarrassing.
The tech community had mixed feelings about Xu Kaiming: "Why would you come to our community if you have such charisma?"
There are a huge number of fans, but we can only see them but cannot eat them. This is more painful than killing them!
Xu Kaiming quickly arranged production and processing at the factory.
Here we also saw fans asking them to release another duet dance video.
He had done this before and was ridiculed online.
It's been a few years since my last dance video. As I've grown more mature, I don't want to do this kind of thing anymore.
But this time was different, he was so moved that he not only persuaded Chen Duo but also found a dance teacher to rehearse with him many times.
The factory is extremely busy. Every time I want to report to Xu Kaiming, I can only call Xu Kaiming's assistant, who will handle the work.
The shipments have already started there.
The online feedback was very good. Since I bought it for 499, I didn’t have high expectations for it, but once I got it, I was hooked.
As a companion electronic pet, it is really cute.
There are also various little emotions like jealousy and coquettishness, which can control people perfectly!
The internet is full of people showing off their orders. Even the first customer who got the electronic pet has attracted a lot of attention because he shared his daily life with the electronic pet. He is now almost an Internet celebrity.
Those who were inspired by the product and wanted to buy it found that the online purchase channel was closed. Because the first day of sales was so overwhelming, the second-hand platform was selling it for 5,000 yuan.
But the trading volume is very small.
Because this time it is the support of fans from all walks of life for Brother-in-law Duo, which is of great significance.
This is the moment when the fan girls support him with all their strength, and Brother Duo's 499 is also a response to them.
As a result, scalpers have no stock. These days, anyone who has a digital pet is extremely happy.
Some internet celebrities have to beg their idol-chasing sisters to borrow a day to shoot videos, and the more they learn about the intelligence of this electronic pet, the more they want it!
Other technology companies wanted to take advantage of this opportunity, but the price of 499 could not even cover the cost, so they could only watch them make money.
Everyone was busy as hell and needed Xu Kaiming to coordinate everything, but he was practicing dancing.
I don't know who spread this message, but within a day, it spread throughout the entire technology circle.
"If you want to sell more goods these days, you have to sell your skills?" The bosses don't understand the young people!
"That's not all. You also need a wife who is very popular on the Internet. A man who loves his wife will be successful." The little assistant muttered.
Soon Xu Kaiming and Chen Duo's duet dance was online again.
Just like before. Chen Duo danced very well, and Xu Kaiming knew all the moves, but they were a little stiff.
It's obviously not meant to be funny, but it's just very funny!
Suddenly, many secondary creations appeared on the Internet.
Xu Kaiming went to Chen Duo and snorted, "They're laughing at me again."
Chen Duo fell for it and said a few words to comfort him.
Xu Kaiming was happy only after he successfully kissed her on the mouth.
Chen Duo later posted a photo of the two of them on her Weibo, which made Xu Kaiming look incredibly handsome. Everyone fell in love with him all over again.
"Fuck, so handsome!"
"A talented man and a beautiful woman."
"Downloaded!"
"Sister Duo sent a photo. Do you have to be so pampered and give Brother Duo the title of husband?"
"Dancing with him, posting his handsome photos, Sister Duo, don't love him too much!"
"After all, our brother-in-law Duo has plenty of green tea tricks, and those who understand will understand."
“…”
