Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

that Otto Technologies’ strategy to enter the high-end market had achieved initial success!

“This is all because of Boss Pei’s wise guidance!”

Pei Qian was feeling tipsy in the warm applause even though he had yet to take a sip of the champagne.

What do you mean it’s all because of my wise guidance? You mean this is all my fault? “Everyone, look at this, Vice President Chang’s crosstalk video is bursting the popularity charts! It’s going viral everywhere on the internet, and many people are learning from it!”

“Our cell phone is going viral, too! Many people are discussing it in the tech circle!” “We’ve sent the media sets of cell phones, their evaluation videos will be out in about three to four days.”

“F*ck, someone has already resold it on the second-hand website? That’s too fast, right? Was there a scalper at our news conference?”

“It can’t be.
The tickets to the news conference were given out randomly.
They are all given to the clients of Tengda’s other business units.
It just so happened that we met scalpers.”

“Don’t forget about the livestream users.
Some scalpers might have made their way in through that channel.”

They discovered some stuff that made them less happy when they were happy and excited.

Of course, scalpers were all around as long as there was limited edition.
They were like flies

—unable to be driven away, making people sick to their core.

People were selling at high prices on the second-hand website less than 10 minutes after the news conference ended.
That speed caught the employees of Otto Technologies off-guard.

Chang You sighed with emotion as he poured the champagne.
“This is the characteristic of a fan scalper.

“Perhaps the fan initially intended to use it for himself, but he found that he could earn 300, 500, or even 1,000 yuan if he were to sell it without paying anything at all.
He would naturally sell it.

“There is no way to avoid this.
We have relatively few stocks.
A buyer is willing to pay more; a seller is willing to part with it to earn some cash.
We are not able to stop it.

“Anyway, let’s not worry about it for the time being.
Let’s celebrate with a toast!”

Some employees were already helping in the distribution of the champagne.
Pei Qian, of course, had one, too.

“Come, cheers!”

Pei Qian toasted silently and downed it all in the warm atmosphere.

“I have to stop the scalpers from reselling whatever the cost!” Pei Qian said firmly.

He was very unhappy that the phones were all sold out at the cell phone news conference.
He was even more unhappy about the scalper!

Pei Qian hated the scalpers the most.
A group of blood-sucking assh*les! He would rather not lose any money than to let the scalpers make money!

Pei Qian felt the effects of a scalper previously when the limited edition guns from ‘Ocean Stronghold’ were sold.
Pei Qian would rather grit his teeth and make more money to put an end to these scalpers.

Facts had proven that watching a scalper deflate was a lot more fun than losing money!

Chang You was shocked upon seeing Boss Pei’s gloomy face after taking a sip of his champagne.

Sh*t, he seemed to have said something wrong just now! How could Boss Pei sit around with the scalpers profiting from him with his disgust for them?

Boss Pei was definitely angry with him for saying that he would deal with them later.
Why else would Boss Pei look so angrily at him?

Moreover, his expression seemed rather complex? That showed just how serious it was!

Chang You hurriedly said.
“Boss Pei is right! We have to stop the scalpers at all costs! …Uh, what should we do though?”

“I know now, Boss Pei! You hope to be able to mass-produce immediately and to directly guarantee the supply on the spot.
That is so that the scalpers would not make speculations and make the money in their hands!”

Pei Qian, “…”

How could I mass-produce now? Do you think I did not make enough money!

However, he had to say that Chang You’s idea is normal.
The cell phone news conference was a huge success, and it sold out immediately at the conference.
They should obviously continue to mass-produce immediately, right?

Who in the world would not make money if there was a chance to?

Pei Qian was speechless for a while.
Yes, he had to continue producing since the phone was sold out.
Otherwise, it would not make sense to the system as well.

Since he was going to mass-produce, he would have to sell them, too.
Selling them would definitely make money.
If he were to limit the amount and the scalpers were to snatch them, wouldn’t that make it even more profitable?

Pei Qian was utterly speechless.
How did things turn out this way?!

“Uh, Boss Pei?” Chang You felt surprised seeing Boss Pei fall into deep thought.
What was there to hesitate to mass-produce a phone that is so successful?

Could it be that… Boss Pei had a different type of thinking again? Pei Qian was in a state of melancholic.
He could only choose the lesser of the two evils.

It was now a fact that the cell phone was a hot item now.
He could only think of a way to stop the losses.
He had to eliminate the influence of the scalpers as much as possible so that the number of cell phones sold would be lesser.

Perhaps the model he used with Ocean Stronghold could be used again.
He could determine the credit value for each customer, use the credit value to determine the priority of purchase, and then sell them in limited quantities every month or every week…

 

However, he realized that he should not after another thought!

This model had hidden dangers as well.
Ocean Stronghold dug its own grave the other time!

Then, the players who could not obtain the limited edition weapons bought Red Kilin frantically to get credit.
As a result, the income from Ocean Stronghold skyrocketed!

It was the same this time.
If he were to sell his mobile phones this way, the consumers would be able to spend their money on other industries related to Tengda and do everything possible to increase their credit value.

There was still a lot of money to be made and even more hidden dangers!

The popularity of Ocean Stronghold was not decreasing even until now.
The players were extremely sticky; a large part of the reason was this consumption model.

Pei Qian was in despair.
This was also a dead-end!

Did it mean I can only mass-produce in tears to stop the scalpers in their tracks?
