The store manager squeezed in, panting, and said, "The factory...the factory said that as long as it has their anti-counterfeiting mark, they'll accept it even if it's worth ten thousand yuan, let alone a thousand!"
Second Son's mother's face lit up instantly, and she excitedly asked, "So, you mean we can buy it for two thousand five?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Honey, hurry up and pay!" Erzi's mother urged anxiously, afraid that he would change his mind. Two thousand five hundred yuan to buy a 27-inch color TV was something he would be laughing in his sleep.
After paying, the three hurriedly took the TV and left. They offered to help return it, but were politely refused.
The first TV from Wepuda was sold successfully, but the impact was extraordinary. The price of 2,500 yuan shocked everyone present.
"What kind of luck is this? She caught one with the wrong print. Boss, she's not a shill you hired, is she?"
"That's right!"
The store manager smiled and said, "The factory is running a promotion, it has nothing to do with me. With them covering the costs, I'm confident I can cash out even if you win 100,000 yuan. But when they were printing this, they shouldn't have printed only one wrong one!"
"Let's try scratching one more!"
An employee tore off a card, scratched it open casually, and froze on the spot when he saw the number inside. His expression was slightly flustered, and he whispered, "What's going on? Another one of a thousand!"
"What?" The store manager took it, glanced at it, and quickly put it in his pocket.
Although the two spoke softly, many people still heard them and their expressions changed. This was a loophole!
"Boss, I'd like to buy one!" A young man walked in and asked, "How many scratch cards can one person get with this?"
"There's no rule, but you have to buy it first, then scratch it!"
"I'll buy it!" the young man said, tearing off a bill and scratching it open with his hand. It was another thousand yuan. He exclaimed happily, "A thousand yuan discount!"
Whoosh!!!
The whole place erupted in chaos!!
It was printed incorrectly!
It's definitely printed wrong!
"Anyone buying a TV? Hurry up and buy one, otherwise this loophole will be plugged."
"I suspect they printed a 10-yuan coupon as a 1000-yuan one."
"Didn't they say the factory employees get a 1,000 yuan discount? So that's a 2,000 yuan discount?"
This isn't a discount anymore, it's a 50% cut! They probably won't even be able to recoup the cost. People who need to buy TVs have already rushed over with their money, and the scene is getting a bit out of control.
"Should I ask the manufacturer again?"
"No, you just asked, if you sell it to him, you have to sell it to me too. You can't refuse!"
"That's right, sell it!"
The store manager had no choice but to bite the bullet and sell!
The news swept through the city like a tornado from the supply and marketing building. Everyone kept the news a secret and told their relatives. Gossip travels at the fastest speed in the field of communication.
In just one morning, all 260 televisions at the Weipuda counter in the Supply and Marketing Building were sold out, half of which were bought by the factory's own employees.
Other stores were also extremely busy. Such a big loophole might not be open tomorrow, so some people who didn't originally plan to buy a TV borrowed money to take advantage of it.
Everyone carrying a television set out of the store had a smile on their face—a smile of getting a good deal.
"This TV is really heavy; one person couldn't move it at all. It's of good quality!"
"Luckily I managed to snag one; they might not be selling it again soon."
We're lucky!
Sales outlets kept calling the marketing department, demanding to verify the situation. The people selling TVs were almost fighting each other, and the more they sold, the more panicked they became.
Inside the marketing department's telephone operator office, Lu Feng was already standing there, his face expressionless. Apart from Zhu Lidong, everyone else in the marketing department was sweating profusely, and the purchasing manager was trembling with fear. He couldn't afford such a huge loss.
"If it's scraped off, we'll accept it. We'll clearly tell the distributors that we'll cover the losses and let them sell it as much as they want!" Lu Feng said in a deep voice.
The phone kept ringing. Some people couldn't buy it in the city, so they rode their motorcycles to the county to buy it. If they couldn't buy it in the county, they went to the township. The whole city was scrambling to buy it in one day.
It was already 6:30 in the evening. Lu Feng checked the time and ordered, "Starting tomorrow, all preferential privileges for factory employees will be cancelled!"
"Okay, I'll give the instructions during the meeting later," Zhu Lidong said.
"Mr. Lu, we've had such a big incident, should we publish a statement in the newspaper?" the marketing manager asked.
Lu Feng gave him a cold look. Even at this point, he still didn't understand what had happened. Lu Feng said to him, "You're fired. Pack your things and leave!"
"Huh? Why, Mr. Lu? The main responsibility isn't mine, it's the purchasing department's!"
The purchasing manager quietly took a step back, his face turning pale with fright, and he lowered his head, not daring to look!
