Chapter 1 The Atmosphere

The atmosphere on the scene suddenly shifted from deathly silence to an extraordinary frenzy, leaving Pei Qian utterly dumbfounded.

He couldn't accept reality for a moment, unable to figure out how this had all happened.

Fortunately, he had two professionals in front of him.

The two young men in front of him were clearly intrigued. The older one directed his younger companion to snatch up a phone while marveling, "Classic move! Otto Technologies' press conferences are always full of tricks!"

"Tailoring different press conference strategies for different managers, I wonder if this is Jiang Yuan's own idea, or President Chang's? Or... could it be President Pei's idea?"

"Most likely President Pei's!"

"I remember Chang You held some press conferences at his previous company, but his comedic talent seemed completely dormant. He didn't come up with anything good."

"That is to say, Otto Technologies' press conferences for these two phones probably had President Pei secretly advising behind the scenes, which is why they're so effective!"

The younger man lowered his head and tapped away on his phone: "Mm, makes sense."

"Hey! Got one!"

"The stock this time seems much larger than last time, not hard to get. There's still stock available."

"But it may also be because fewer people are paying attention online this time. After all, it was said to be a technical exchange meeting, and everyone didn't know there would be phones for sale."

"But judging by this, once the news gets out, it probably won't last an hour."

"Hey, you said President Pei was advising secretly? This press conference is full of tricks? Where are the tricks? I don't feel it at all."

The slightly older guy said: "Haven't you noticed? This new manager, Jiang Yuan, has far fewer natural advantages compared to Chang You. His eloquence is not good, so he definitely can't use Chang You's method for the press conference."

"But he has made good use of his own natural advantages to create a different style!"

"Jiang Yuan gives the impression of being a little timid, not very confident, and is very serious when talking about new technologies, making people sleepy. But in this way, he has lowered the psychological expectations of all the audience particularly low."

"If President Chang came to this press conference, everyone would be expecting him to crack jokes, so when the phone really comes out, everyone wouldn't be so excited."

"So, this is to use different approaches for different products and different managers at the press conference, to maximize the audience's emotions!"

"Not only that, the phone's pricing strategy is also worth pondering. If I'm not mistaken, the stock for this phone should mainly focus on the high-storage version and the *Mission and Choice* customized version. The ordinary version is just playing a price anchoring role, making everyone feel that the high-storage version and the customized version are especially cost-effective, thereby driving up the sales of these two versions!"

"Compared with those mobile phone manufacturers who sell mobile phone memory more expensive than gold, it is simply a world of difference!"

"It's all the same way to make money, but those manufacturers make people feel disgusting. If you want to spend less money to buy a low-storage version, the storage is not enough, and you delete things every day; if you want a larger storage space, compared with the low-storage version, you may have to spend hundreds more to buy only dozens of gigabytes, which feels like a loss."

"Otto Technologies' approach directly makes consumers not entangled. In fact, the pricing of the phone may be the same, but consumers feel very comfortable, which is too clever!"

"What's more, this phone also has exclusive optimization for Tenda Games' mobile games. Playing *gog* mobile games on it has a wider field of vision than other phones, which is even more attractive!"

"This phone... I'm afraid it will be even more successful than the E1 phone..."

Listening to the discussion of the two guys in front, Pei Qian was dizzy.

What the heck!

How did it become "President Pei's idea"? What does this have to do with me!

Although Pei Qian heard bits and pieces, and many of the statements in it made him feel inexplicable, one thing he was sure of was that the seemingly foolproof press conference had some unexpected problems.

Out of control! Completely out of control!

But this is not the end.

On the stage, Jiang Yuan finished introducing the price of the phone, the uniqueness of the *Mission and Choice* customized version, and the game optimization of Tenda Games for the G1 phone. The press conference also entered the final stage.

"Regarding the stocking of this G1 phone..."

"First of all, I solemnly declare to you that Otto Technology has always been cracking down on scalpers. This can be seen from the various regulations when the E1 phone was launched."

"The shortage of goods when the E1 phone was launched was because we were still a small company at that time, and we didn't have much funds to use for turnover, so we could only stock up batch by batch;"

"Although our financial chain is much healthier now, because the G1 phone uses a lot of new technologies, the pressure on the supply chain is relatively high, so we still can't stock up on a large scale like other big factories."

"If there is a sell-out situation, don't worry, we will speed up mass production like the previous E1 phone, and strictly limit scalpers. As long as you wait patiently for a short period of time, you will definitely be able to get the phone."

"In addition, we have also distributed some shares to our offline stores. You are welcome to go to the offline stores to experience the real machine and make an appointment to buy it. The address and location of the store are on the big screen."

"So, that's all for this press conference. Thank you again for coming!"

"Please leave the venue in an orderly manner. You can receive free gifts at the entrance."

After finishing everything, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my mission!

Although there is only one new mobile phone conference a year, and each time only lasts for one hour, for Jiang Yuan, this is obviously the most challenging part of his work.

Fortunately, President Pei is in charge, so everything is safe and sound!

Although the press conference was over, the enthusiasm of the crowd had not diminished.

Pei Qian was about to leave, but after hearing Jiang Yuan's last words, he stopped and looked at the big screen in disbelief.

There are addresses and locations of stores on it, obviously Tian Mo's place!

President Pei opened a sales department and opened a new Tenda store in the mall. This is not a secret within the company.

The store is always filled with E1 phones. These phones are obviously given by Otto Technology. It is very reasonable for Jiang Yuan to know the location of the store.

After the G1 phone is officially launched, it is natural to put some sample machines in offline stores for customers to visit and experience.

Everything seems to be fine, but Pei Qian felt like he had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

"No!!"

"Tian, you must hold on!"

Pei Qian couldn't calm down any longer. He immediately left the press conference and rushed to the store where Tian Mo was located!

……

At the same time, Tian Mo and Zhuang Dong were playing games in the store.

Tian Mo was on the sofa outside, and Zhuang Dong was in the experience area inside, playing different games, but with the same serious and focused expressions.

The key point is that there is really nothing else to do except play games.

If you want to swat a fly or catch a mosquito, there is none in this shopping mall.

In fact, in the first few days after the store opened, the traffic was still good, and many people strayed into it, but basically nothing was sold.

Still for that reason: young people who are interested have basically bought the corresponding products online; people who were originally not interested were basically dissuaded from buying after being persuaded for a while.

Of course, there are also mavericks. I had heard of the fully automatic intelligent rebutting machine before. Now that I saw the real thing, I thought it was good and insisted on buying one. Tian Mo tried to persuade him for a long time but he refused to listen, so he had to sell it to him.

But these people are still in the minority after all.

Although the store has broken the record of zero sales, it is really not necessary to report to President Pei for selling a few things sporadically.

Customers come once, find nothing good to buy, and won't come in again next time.

In addition, today is the first working day after the holiday. There are not many people in the entire shopping mall, which seems a bit deserted, and there are even fewer customers in the store.

So Tian Mo and Zhuang Dong had nothing else to do but to play games seriously, as President Pei instructed, and strive to clear all the games in the store as soon as possible.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Tian Mo put down the gamepad and looked up, and saw two Reverse Wind Logistics guys pushing two large boxes with a trolley to the door of the store.

"This is...?" Tian Mo was a little puzzled.

The guy said: "Oh, this is the new mobile phone from Otto Technology. We just transported it from the warehouse, saying that the store should put some sample machines for customers to experience, and of course some are in stock and can be sold directly."

Tian Mo nodded, helped the guy unload the goods, then selected a few mobile phones as sample machines, and put all the remaining unopened mobile phones into the storage area inside.

There were some sample machines on the counter before, but they were all E1 mobile phones. Tian Mo only kept a small part, replaced the other sample machines with new mobile phones, and then changed the price tags.

"Hey, this phone looks pretty good, why is the screen so big."

"But it's also really expensive!"

"This one actually costs 10,000 yuan, which is incredible..."

"It is estimated that most people can't afford it, and they have to wait for the local tyrants."

Tian Mo took it in his hand and played with it, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, the E1 mobile phone has been placed in the store for so long, and none of them have been sold. The traffic in the store has been so deserted recently. Tian Mo thinks that even if it is put out, not many people will come to see it. The price is so high. I don’t know when they can all be sold out.

Tian Mo sat back on the sofa and picked up the gamepad again to play the game.

After a while, there was another sound of footsteps outside.

However, this time the footsteps seemed much more hurried.

Tian Mo was a little surprised. He turned his head and saw two guys coming to the door one after another, taking two steps in three steps. After confirming the Tenda logo, they immediately said: "Boss! Do you have the new Otto mobile phone here? Give me one!"

Huh? Customers are here!

Tian Mo quickly stood up: "The display machines are all on the counter. You can experience it a little before making a decision."

The two guys saw the display machine, but they didn't want to play with it at all. Instead, they urged: "No need, pay now! Scan the code or swipe the card?"

Tian Mo was shocked, so anxious?

But no, this does not conform to our work purpose!

Tian Mo showed a very kind smile: "Please allow me to introduce the problems of this mobile phone to you first..."

The two guys finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up, one for each of us, we know the shortcomings very well at the press conference, give us the mobile phone quickly! We want the customized version!"

Tian Mo didn't know what to say for a while. Although President Pei emphasized that he must tell customers the shortcomings of the product, but the customers have already said this, what else can a salesperson say?

Tian Mo had no choice but to take two unopened mobile phones, all of which were customized versions of *Mission and Choice*, and handed them over.

The packaging of the *Mission and Choice* customized version is larger than the ordinary version, and the appearance is completely different, which is very recognizable.

The two guys were overjoyed, immediately swiped their cards to pay, and then left happily, as if they had found a treasure.

Tian Mo originally wanted to take the opportunity to talk about the shortcomings of this mobile phone, but he couldn't find a chance to speak.

He shook his head and was about to sit down when there was another hurried sound of footsteps outside.

"Boss, is there any G1 phone?"

"I want the customized version. If there is no customized version, the high-storage version is also acceptable!"

Tian Mo was confused.

At the beginning, he tried hard to follow the process, but these customers were obviously in a hurry and couldn't wait for him to complete the entire process. They couldn't wait to take the pos machine and swipe it themselves.

And they all had hostile expressions.

What? You, the store manager, want me to think twice?

If I think twice, the mobile phone will be sold out, are you responsible for this?!

The first batch of people who came specified that they wanted the customized version and the high-storage version. Although the number of these two versions was more than the ordinary version, they were quickly sold out.

The customers who came later could only ask for the ordinary version, but soon, the ordinary version was also sold out!

Tian Mo didn't have time to say much, and the customers rushed to buy all the mobile phones!

Every customer who got a new mobile phone was overjoyed and did not intend to stay too long, and turned around and left smartly.

There were also a few customers who came late and didn't buy it, and stomped their feet in anger, insisting on buying the display machine on the table. Tian Mo tried hard to persuade them, promising to give them priority to send them the next batch of mobile phones, and finally managed to persuade them.

The later customers lined up to register, hoping to get it as soon as there was stock.

There were also customers who reluctantly went to the counter to play with the display machine after knowing that there was no stock, but the more they played, the more they regretted it, why didn't they come a few minutes earlier?

Tian Mo felt confused while making records.

Why was the previously deserted store suddenly surrounded by so many people?

What's the situation?

I didn't do anything?
