Chapter 38 and 39 of the plot were expanded. The original plot felt too abrupt and not smooth enough. Readers who have seen the original Chapter 38 can re-examine the end of Chapter 38. Please understand.
“Chairman, we have a problem!” That evening, Shen Yuequn found Huang He to report the situation.
Shen Yuequn was actually the first person in the country to start selling mobile phones in blind boxes. Since Huang He didn't know what the outcome of this decision would be, he let Shen Yuequn be the test field. As a result, problems indeed emerged from this experiment.
However, this problem had already been considered by Boss Huang. Moreover, this problem was not something that ordinary methods could solve, because the probability of getting a mobile phone had to be extremely low, otherwise, where would Huang He make money?
After all, the cost of a mobile phone was still 600 yuan.
“For customers, the fundamental reason they reject mobile phones lies in the immense uncertainty, and this uncertainty is something that ordinary customers can hardly bear!” Huang He pondered, then his gaze fell on another report. This was a report sent by Zhang Yingguo, which described a significant drop in blind box sales in regions like Wenzhou.
At the same time, Zhang Yingguo's report also contained a description that many customers who bought three-digit numbers had not returned. He personally chatted with them and learned that each of them had hundreds of wallets piled up at home, which were impossible to deal with.
These wallets, unlike leather shoes, could at least be dealt with through consignment, and some money could be recovered. However, these wallets were completely useless and difficult to sell, so they could only be piled up at home, which was annoying to look at, and thus people lost interest in selling blind boxes.
Finally, Zhang Yingguo suggested that it would be better to simply discard these wallets, out of sight, out of mind, and perhaps some old customers would return.
“It seems that blind boxes must achieve sustainable development!” Huang He gradually formed a somewhat immature idea. When he saw a section of a plan he had written for the development outline of oo, Huang He suddenly became enlightened and came up with countermeasures and methods.
On the fifth day after the mobile phone first appeared, Shen Yuequn once again appeared at his stall.
“Old Shen, where’s your mobile phone? Why did you stop selling it after only one day?” Seeing Shen Yuequn appear, everyone teased him.
This mobile phone only appeared for one day. After one day, all promotions related to mobile phones were withdrawn, which made many envious and hateful people extremely happy, feeling a small surge of joy.
“There was a problem with the policy of the last sale, so we discussed it and changed the policy this time!” Shen Yuequn said with a smile, then brought out the advertisements again.
To everyone’s surprise, all the previous advertisements for mobile phones were brought out again. In addition, there was a brand-new billboard that clearly stated, “To thank all customers for their support, and also because we know that many friends have accumulated a large number of leather goods of the Jiangnan brand, to ensure that your interests are not harmed, we can recycle all products from the Jiangnan Leather Factory.” xxs one
“As long as your product maintains its original packaging, with no lost boxes or related accessories, and the warranty card and three-guarantee cards are complete, you can exchange them for Jiangnan Coins on the spot.”
“Specifically, any leather wallet can be exchanged for 20 Jiangnan Coins, a leather belt for 30 Jiangnan Coins, leather shoes for 100 Jiangnan Coins, and a leather jacket for 1000 Jiangnan Coins.”
“At the same time, 200 Jiangnan Coins can be exchanged for a pair of random leather shoe blind boxes (which will definitely contain a pair of leather shoes, with random styles, and may include the Italian Master edition); 1000 Jiangnan Coins can be exchanged for a limited random leather bag blind box (which will definitely contain a randomly styled leather bag, and may include the Italian Master edition). 2000 Jiangnan Coins can be exchanged for a random leather jacket blind box (which will definitely contain a randomly styled leather jacket);”
“Finally, as long as you collect 8888 Jiangnan Coins, you can immediately exchange them for a genuine Tianxing brand supreme flagship full-color touch screen mobile phone random blind box (which will definitely contain a mobile phone of random color).”
“From the date of this announcement, mobile phones and leather bags will also be added to the blind boxes, making your luck even more diverse.”
“Jiangnan Coins, I say, Old Shen, you’re getting more and more awesome, you’re even issuing currency publicly!” Seeing the three words Jiangnan Coins, everyone was shocked.
“This isn’t currency, it’s just a kind of points!” Shen Yuequn remembered Boss Huang’s instructions and immediately explained, “The legal definition of currency is something that can be freely circulated and used as a substitute for transactions.”
“But my Jiangnan Coins are not like that. They are only used to exchange for specific goods, and they cannot be circulated or traded, so I cannot trade them at all!”
“Cannot circulate or trade? What does that mean?”
“You’ll know in a moment!” Shen Yuequn said confidently, but he felt a little uneasy deep down because he himself wasn’t sure if Huang He’s newly launched Jiangnan Coin activity had market potential or if it would be suppressed, as the name Jiangnan Coin contained the word ‘coin,’ which could trigger divine wrath!
It was only Huang He, who knew how well Q coins in later generations were received, and how all sorts of inexplicable coins ran rampant on the internet, who had no worries about the name Jiangnan Coins.
The appearance of Jiangnan Coins seemed sudden because Huang He had brought thousands of units of Tianxing mobile phone inventory from Shenzhen. However, there was no direct sales platform below, so they were allocated to various blind box sales points to join the blind box army and become one of the blind box commodities.
At the same time, considering the previously mentioned low probability of mobile phone blind boxes, which might not reach the customer’s high point, combined with the situation of a large number of wallets piling up at home, which reduced customer purchase desire, Huang He launched this Jiangnan Coin system. This way, customers could accumulate points to get mobile phones, greatly reducing the difficulty of obtaining them.
Simply put, it was a guaranteed system for blind boxes, so that mobile phones that might require a lot of money to draw could be obtained with a maximum of 445 draws, meaning 4450 yuan, to get 445 wallets, which could be exchanged for 8900 Jiangnan Coins to get a Tianxing mobile phone.
This price was already very attractive, as full-color touch screen mobile phones on the market were generally priced above 6000 yuan.
Not to mention how unlucky one would be to draw wallets 445 times. Under normal probability, a mobile phone could be obtained for around 3500 yuan.
Buying a 6000 yuan class mobile phone for 3500 yuan was a huge profit no matter how you look at it!
As for the recycled wallets and leather shoes, there was no need to worry about them being wasted. As long as they were repackaged with blind boxes, they could be sold for 10 yuan each. There was no depreciation because they were second-hand products, which was truly touching.
And for Huang He, a knock-off phone with a cost of less than 1000 yuan selling for 3500 yuan was a massive profit no matter how you look at it!
In addition,
As for how this scheme would turn out, that would be up to the market to test.
