Technology Bigshot Chapter 50: ：Out of stock
Chapter 50: Out of stock
The morning of the third day.
The "Looking Triangle" area of Nanwang Reservoir is isolated into a villa area. One of the villas here is Ren Hong's current residence. The "Looking Triangle" has more than 30 luxury villas built on the west side of the reservoir. Around the edge of the bank, this place is already shady with trees, surrounded by mountains and water, and has a beautiful environment. It is an excellent living area.
The Nanwang Reservoir is still being renovated. Since buying this area, Ren Hong seems to want to turn the entire large reservoir into an exclusive holiday park within XlouS. It is fully equipped and not open to the outside world. It is a big benefit for company employees. Employees who are on vacation or off work can enjoy life here for free, and they can also bring their family members to enjoy it for free.
Ren Hong's villa is like a silver-white Ganoderma lucidum inlaid on the shore. It is divided into three floors, upper, middle and lower. The boundary area of the building is in the shape of an arc, and there is another mystery in the ground floor. The side by the water is completely made of transparent Made of tempered glass, the beautiful underwater scenery can be seen in front of you. Nanwang Reservoir is rich in aquatic products, and being on the bottom floor of the villa is like being in an aquarium.
At this moment, Ren Hong, with his upper body naked, is standing by the window, looking at the direction of the direct-operated store several kilometers away. He still sees a long queue there. This is already the third day. It is open 24 hours a day for more than 70 hours, and there are still long queues.
However, as the only offline direct-operated store, it is not surprising. Basically, people who come to Wanning for tourism are more or less entrusted by their friends to bring an S-1 back, and there are even many other urban areas specially rushing back. There are also many people who came from the mainland. After all, this is the only offline direct-sale store in the world.
"Huh?" Ren Hong suddenly frowned as he stared in the direction of the direct-operated store. After a while, he brought a telescope. He clearly saw that the long queue suddenly began to gather, and immediately untied the device on his wrist. , said directly to the strip: "Xiao Ying! Connect me with the Marketing Manager!"
"I'm Ren Hong, what's going on with the directly-operated store? Why did the crowd suddenly start to gather? What should I do if a stampede happened to thousands of people?" Ren Hong said to the strip in his hand, and he was still watching with his binoculars. .
"Ah? It's the chairman? It's like this, chairman, the inventory has been sold out, and the direct sales store has sold 1.8 million units in the past three days and three nights!" A voice came from the communication.
"How can it be sold so fast?" Ren Hong wondered.
The other party immediately said embarrassedly: "This, the people in front basically bought more than 5 "S-1" units on average. I thought there would be no problem with 1.8 million units. We didn't expect it to be so popular. Consumers who haven't bought it now are gathering in the direct-sale store to protest..."
"Be sure to appease everyone, don't have a stampede, remember, no accident!" Ren Hong interrupted him and emphasized one after another. He can imagine the dissatisfaction of consumers at the moment. When it is his turn to queue for a long time or even longer, he suddenly tells you that there is no stock, which will make people feel extremely unbalanced, especially some consumers who are more easily excited, so many people gather , if there is a stampede incident, it will be troublesome!
"Mr. Wang! Is there any stock available?" Ren Hong immediately contacted Wang Lei, director of the production department.
"There are 60,000 units that just passed the quality inspection yesterday!" Wang Lei responded.
"Send it to the direct-sale store immediately!" Ren Hong said immediately.
"Uh! These goods have already been reserved." Wang Lei hesitated.
"Compensate for the liquidated damages! Priority will be given to supplying directly-operated stores. According to this posture, the queue may continue for a few days." Ren Hong said.
"Okay, I'll send someone to deliver it right away!" Wang Lei responded.
At this moment, the marketing manager personally came to the scene to appease, but now many people are a little excited, and some people have queued for 24 hours. Unbalanced, why are the people in front buying in packages?
"I even set up a tent here and queued for 36 hours, and when it was my turn, you said it was gone? Unforgivable! What did I get for 36 hours of boring waiting?"
"The people in front have packed up several units, and now you tell me that they are out of stock? Are all the people in your marketing department stupid? How do you do business?"
"This is your company headquarters, it's impossible to run out of stock!"
"I don't care! I want "S-1"! Just "S-1"!"
The marketing manager was sweating profusely as he looked at the crowd of consumers, each and everyone roaring furiously.
"Don't worry everyone! Don't worry! I'm the marketing manager, I..."
"You're the idiot supervisor of the marketing department. Is it in stock or out of stock? Just a word and be quick!"
The manager of the marketing department sweated profusely when he heard the strong smell of threat, and quickly said with a dry smile: "It's in stock now! It's in stock! Everyone please listen to me! Listen to me first, don't be impatient! Take it easy!"
After hearing that it was in stock, the consumers at the scene finally became quiet.
"I knew it, forcing them to have a show!" a young man in the crowd said in a low voice, grinning.
The manager of the marketing department didn't hear him, and saw him shouting into the loudspeaker with all his might: "The production department is ready to deliver the goods, and has paid a lot of compensation to cancel an overseas one. The order is now ready to be delivered here, don't worry, everyone is absolutely guaranteed to get one 'S-1', but one person can only buy one, I'm really sorry! Please line up now, and don't have a stampede. !”
"Earlier, one person and one machine would be fine, how could they be so stupid?" Someone said carelessly.
The manager of the marketing department was relieved when he saw the thousands of people lined up in an orderly manner. If there was a stampede, it would be a big deal. He couldn't afford this responsibility. At this moment, he finally felt the pain And with a happy feeling.
Ren Hong in the villa was relieved after seeing the crowd gradually dispersing and starting to line up again.
Suddenly, a pair of white and delicate hands wrapped around his lower abdomen, and his bare back was covered by a warm body.
"What's the matter?" Gao Yue, who was holding Ren Hong from her back, said vaguely. Gao Yue, who had just woken up, had a hazy look, her looming clothes and blurred expression had a different kind of temptation.
"The direct-sale store is out of stock, and consumers are protesting. It looks like it should be done now." Ren Hong said, looking out the window.
"I don't understand why there are no more official direct-sale stores around the world. Offline channels are also very important and can bring billions of dollars in global revenue for the company! So many people are cheap for nothing, it should be The profits we make." Gao Yue said.
"It's good and bad! It's nothing to make a few billion less." If the outside world knew about this, his eyes would twitch, but Ren Hong did have the capital to say this sentence, "E-commerce is the trend of the future. , In today's era, the Internet makes promotion more efficient and convenient, coupled with the efficient viral communication between people in today's sharing era, and the help of real-time online translation, as long as your product is excellent enough, you don't have to worry about no one Buying and establishing offline channels will outweigh the gains. Although there may be some malicious attacks from the Internet, as long as the general trend is formed, these will be self-defeating over time. It is obviously unwise to eat alone. We eat meat to give people a little soup to drink. It's understandable, there are many ways to make money, and making money together is the kingly way."
"But Apple doesn't think so, we can be regarded as directly robbing their bowl of meat!" Gao Yue added, with a trace of concern.
"Indeed!" Ren Hong nodded lightly, looked at the illusory queuing scene in the distance, and said faintly: "After all, we have touched the core interests of some people, and it is irreconcilable. I will not go to hell, who will Whoever loves it." After speaking, he turned around and embraced the other's slender waist, "I have a hunch, my intuition tells me that the undercurrents have begun to flow behind XlouS's current seemingly infinite beauty, and the days are not calm. It will be close soon."
