Pei Qian sighed softly.

He had no choice. He would choose the latter without any hesitation between earning more money and attacking the scalpers.

What’s more, the profits of the game router were not high. It did not matter to sell more. They just had to make up for the profits earned elsewhere.

The loss of the game console made Pei Qian very disappointed.

Didn’t they say that game consoles were difficult to make? Didn’t they say that only a handful of manufacturers in the world could understand game consoles?

Could Tengda be the manufacturer in that hand?

Pei Qian could not accept this.

However, it was useless to worry now. Tengda’s game industry had already gone from research and development to channels, from the AAA game to independent games, and from software to hardware.

He had nowhere to go next.

“Sigh, I hope the cell phone sales can comfort me.”

“The foldable screen cell phone this time might have used Shenhua’s plan completely, but Tengda has also paid for it. If the sales are not good, we can make a small loss.”

“It might not be as much as the game system, but it is at least a psychological comfort.”

Pei Qian opened the webpage and took a look. Shenhua Corporation’s foldable cell phone would be officially released in a few minutes.

Tengda Corporation’s cell phone sales had been deliberately delayed for an hour.

The reason was simple, he could not compete with Shenhua Corporation for the release!

If Tengda were to publish it early, some unlucky people who did not know the truth would definitely come in to buy it. It would not be good to spend money for nothing.

Once the first wave of demand was consumed by Shenhua Corporation’s cell phone, Tengda’s cell phone sales would naturally plummet.

What’s more, Tengda’s foldable screen cell phone was using Shenhua Corporation’s ready-made plan after all. It would not be right to snatch the release. Logically, Pei Qian’s operation was understandable.

Pei Qian first paid attention to the sales volume of Shenhua Corporation’s foldable cell phone.

The moment the button lit up, Pei Qian started calculating on his watch.

The ideal situation would be to have sufficient stocks until Tengda’s cell phones were released. Shenhua Corporation would not be able to sell them all. That way, apart from a few die-hard fans, no one would come to Tengda Corporation to buy the same cell phone.

However, just as Pei Qian was daydreaming, he saw that the purchasing page on the official website had become gray and sold out.

“Hm?”

“They… they’re sold out just like that?”

“Less than five minutes have passed!”

Pei Qian was shocked. He quickly opened other channels, such as a few major online shopping websites. In the end, he realized that they were all sold out.

Only the buttons of certain platforms lit up a few times. Perhaps some users of the lockers did not pay in time, causing some of the goods to be released. However, they quickly resumed their sold out state. Obviously, many users were waiting to pick up the leftovers.

He read the comments online.

“Holy sh*t, why are Shenhua Corporation’s cell phones sold out so quickly? This is a cell phone that costs 18,000 yuan!”

“This is crazy! There are too many rich people!”

“This foldable screen technology is indeed very impressive. It’s the only one in the world. What’s more, Shenhua Corporation has accumulated a lot of technology in cell phones. They have many loyal fans and are good at spending. It’s not surprising that they sold out, right?”

“F*ck! I don’t know how many of them were snatched away by scalpers. I knew that these scalpers would not let go of anything that they could stir up! If their own mothers could, they would definitely hype it up immediately!”

“That’s right. The scalpers are too evil. I really wanted to buy this cell phone, but I couldn’t get it at all.”

“I saw that someone had already posted it on the second-hand website. He increased the price by 3,000 yuan! F*ck, this is really too despicable!”

“By the way, doesn’t Otto Technologies still have a batch of goods?”

“Otto Technologies has also produced a foldable screen cell phone. I’m afraid that won’t work. Only Shenhua Corporation’s foldable screen technology is more mature. The other manufacturers’ foldable screens are very ineffective.”

“Otto Technologies’ model is the same. They said at the news conference that it’s exactly the same. They just added a beautiful cell phone shell.”

“What’s there to say then? Hurry up and snatch it. If you snatch it, you’ll earn it.”

“We’ll probably be letting the scalpers benefit again. If we know to snatch it from Otto Technologies, the scalpers will definitely know!”

“Scalpers? You don’t know Tengda Corporation’s rich experience in fighting scalpers. Otto Technologies’ cell phone is not so easy to obtain. There are a series of conditions. In short, try snatching it. There might not be many stocks, but it will definitely be much fairer than here.”

Pei Qian felt a chill run down his spine as he read these comments.

Something was amiss. Something was amiss.

It was as if he saw countless customers waving cash in their hands. They swarmed from Shenhua Corporation’s shops to Tengda Corporation’s shops, and then waved the cash in their hands, insisting on stuffing it into his hands.

Jiang Yuan honestly admitted at the news conference that this foldable screen cell phone was the same model as Shenhua Corporation’s. There was no difference at all.

He had thought that this would be a minus project. He had not expected it to become a huge plus. It even became evidence of the high technology and high quality of Otto X1 cell phone.

Pei Qian carefully opened Otto Technologies’ purchasing page. As expected, after only three minutes of purchasing, the button became sold out.

It was even faster than Shenhua Corporation.

Of course, Shenhua Corporation definitely had more stocks than Otto Technologies. However, Otto Technologies had the scalper mechanism, so it was difficult to say which side was more embarrassing.

He could only say: They were brothers in the same boat. They did not even last five minutes.

Pei Qian was feeling melancholic when his cell phone rang.

It was from Chang You.

Chang You sounded very excited. “Boss Pei, our cell phones and game consoles are selling like crazy!”

“I’ve already urged them to mass-produce on the main computer. It’s hard to say about the cell phone. It depends on Shenhua Corporation.”

“However, I’ve spoken to Boss Lin. What Boss Lin means is for Shenhua Corporation to learn from Tengda Corporation’s model and control the purchasing mechanism to prevent scalpers from interfering.”

“On top of that, the cell phone is also increasing production as much as possible. It would not be a problem for this product to sell hot for more than half a year!”

“On top of that, Boss Pei, there’s another piece of good news!”

Pei Qian could not help but be shocked. The previous news was bad enough. Why was there good news?

Chang You said excitedly, “Our first batch of cell phone cases have been sold out!”

“I didn’t have much hope previously. I just sent some prototypes and cell phone cases to some UP Masters in the digital review area for evaluation. I didn’t expect them to praise our cell phone case non-stop!”

“Some UP Masters who like to play mobile games in particular think that our cell phone casings take care of many scenes in terms of design. What’s more, it’s very recognizable in our hands, so we strongly recommend it to our fans.”

“Many people who bought foldable cell phones from Shenhua Corporation also bought our cell phone cases, wanting to use them together.”

“After all, Shenhua Corporation’s foldable screen is not easy to recognize when you hold a cell phone in your hand. However, if you add the cell phone shell, it would be much more recognizable.”

“Boss Pei, your strategy is completely correct. For such a high-end digital product, technology is based on changing the shell. The appearance is the biggest advantage.”

Pei Qian fell silent.

He realized that there was a huge problem with his strategy!

First of all, they had overestimated Shenhua Corporation’s cell phones and their output had also underestimated the demand of consumers. Shenhua Corporation’s cell phones were sold out in less than five minutes, which meant that the market demand had obviously not been satisfied. Many people could not wait to buy them from the scalpers with a thousand yuan or two. What was the premium on Otto Technologies?

As for the cell phone shell, he was even more speechless. Would people who were willing to spend 20,000 yuan to buy a cell phone care about spending 500 yuan more to buy a cell phone shell?

If this cell phone shell was an IQ tax and the rich were not stupid, they would definitely not buy it. However, what if this cell phone shell was really worth it?

For many people, buying the most cutting-edge digital products was either really a fanatic of digital products and had to enjoy this new technology as soon as possible or to show off their face.

There was nothing wrong with this. After all, there were many ways to show off their face. Branded clothes, branded bags, mechanical watches, and so on. Pei Qian had to admit that most people would have similar requirements after they were rich.

The biggest problem with Shenhua Corporation’s foldable cell phone was that it was not recognizable enough.

Of course, it was very recognizable during the process of folding. However, it was used after folding most of the time in daily use. It could not be unfolded at every moment.

Once he folded it and held it in his hand, it would be no different from an ordinary cell phone.

If he were to add on the protective shell that Shenhua Corporation had inherited, he would be mature and stable. However, the characteristics of posing would be gone.

At this time, he had spent 500 yuan to buy Otto Technologies’ special Cyberpunk protective shell. That was impressive!

Whether it was a foldable state or a unfolded state, one would be able to recognize it at a glance. This was the latest foldable cell phone with a price of 500 yuan.

What’s more, Otto Technologies’ cell phone shell was indeed very useful.

On one hand, the cell phone’s weight was even lighter than the protective shell that Shenhua Corporation attached to it because of the hollowed-out technology. The glass material and thermal conductivity layer made the cell phone’s heat dissipation better. The design of the shell film also provided better protection for the cell phone.

The design of the two loops and scaffolding could meet the requirements of dramas and games.

To many people, buying such an advanced cell phone was naturally to watch dramas and play games. The advantage of the foldable screen was that it took care of the big screen and portable. Wouldn’t it be a waste if they did not use this big screen to play games and watch dramas?

This cell phone shell could better meet such needs. In addition, the custom-made theme of the Cyberpunk style was so recognizable. Of course, it was deeply welcomed by young people.

Therefore, many people who bought foldable cell phones from Shenhua Corporation did not mind spending another 500 yuan to buy another cell phone shell from Otto Technologies to use.

Otto Technologies had instantly become an impressive cell phone shell manufacturer with good sales!

Many cell phone manufacturers on shopping websites were probably still wondering if Otto Technologies was shameless enough to lower themselves to snatch business from us?

Ridiculous!
