116: Record-breaking sales figures [inflated]

Early the next morning, the two of them, who didn't have classes, along with another roommate, took the subway to Red Star Home.

As soon as they arrived at the scene, they were startled by the commotion outside the door.

"Buying kunpeng phone 2nd generation ultimate collectors edition with serial number 9999 at a high price!"

"Buying kunpeng phone 2 ultimate collectors edition, any serial number, contact me if you have the code!"

"Buying Kunpeng mobile phone ultimate collectors edition at a high price, any serial number, price negotiable, must be unopened."

Several Scalpers outside were holding signs to buy the ultimate collectors edition of the kunpeng phone 2. Seeing the shop assistants in red hoodies come out, the Scalpers moved a few steps further away from the entrance.

"My god, is the kunpeng phone 2 ultimate collectors edition that valuable? Scalpers are coming right to the store entrance to buy them." Guan Liang said, looking at the Scalpers holding signs, in disbelief. "If I'd known it was worth this much, I would have snatched one up too."

"Didn't Red Star say the ultimate collectors edition was sold out? How come they still have some in the store?"

A passing star fans said to them: "They sold 40,000 units online, and with the new store opening, they have activities, so there are also kunpeng phone 2 ultimate collectors editions for sale."

"But we don't need to think about it; those Scalper brothers have been queuing here since the early morning." After finishing, he pointed his chin at the few Scalpers not far away.

Feng Fu looked at the crowded scene inside and outside the store and said to Guan Liang: "Old Guan, are we still going? I feel like I can't squeeze in."

"Since we're already here."

As soon as these words were spoken, the group walked towards the crowd.

It was hard to squeeze into the store. In the hundreds of square meters of space, 5 mobile phone display stands were surrounded by users experiencing the Kunpeng mobile phone and red star 3. On the shelves next to them were various other Red Star products, headphones, power banks, little star speakers, and so on.

Dozens of shop assistants were constantly answering various questions from users, and there was a long queue at the checkout counter.

"Hello, how do I purchase the red star 3 in the store?" Catching a shop assistant, Feng Fu hurriedly asked.

"Hello sir, for the red star 3, our store supports full-payment pre-sales. You can go to the checkout counter to submit an order and pay, then come pick it up tomorrow. You can also come directly to the store to buy it the day after tomorrow."

"Oh, okay, thank you."

"You're welcome."

After answering Feng Fu's question, the shop assistant hurriedly walked towards another user who was calling him.

"Let's go to the display stand to see the real machine first. Chen Chen said at the press conference that the back cover and the feel of the whole phone this time are great. Let's go touch it too."

Looking at the two circles of people surrounding the display stand, Guan Liang said: "You go look, I'll go line up at the checkout first."

Feng Fu waited for a while. When it was his turn to experience it, he couldn't wait to pick up the white red star 3rd generation to try. First, he felt the screen and found it wasn't much different from the mi 3 that Guan Liang had already returned. Then he opened the camera to try it out, and the imaging effect wasn't much different from the mi 3 either.

Throughout the entire experience, his fingers kept stroking the raster-textured back cover that Chen Chen had spent a lot of time explaining at the press conference, and finally, he came to a conclusion.

It feels fucking amazing!

Reluctantly putting down the display unit, Feng Fu took out his own hongmi 1 and found it less and less pleasing to the eye.

After waiting for a long time outside the door, Guan Liang and another roommate finally walked out of the store.

Another roommate, Wang Zhuo, was carrying a red paper bag in his hand.

"The crowd is truly insane. If a girl came here, she might get squeezed pregnant."

"Go away, stop talking nonsense. Old Wang, what did you buy?"

"Uh, I saw that wired headset was pretty good, so I bought one."

Wang Zhuo took the headset out of the bag to show his two roommates, "The stuff in the store is quite complete. I saw there were even Red Star custom shirts hanging on the wall. Haha, I couldn't help but buy one when I saw this headset."

"29, I tried it, the sound quality is very good." Wang Zhuo added.

"It's a pity that I can only pick up my phone tomorrow, I have to come and queue again." Guan Liang said.

"That's still faster than buying it online. By the way, what color did you buy?"

"White, of course. I looked at the Red Star official website, the white one looks really beautiful."

Feng Fu gave him a thumbs up, "Good lad, same taste as me. I just touched the real machine, and the feel is really fucking amazing."

"It's like, it's like stroking a young girl's skin."

After saying this, Feng Fu pretended to have a fascinated look on his face.

"Have you ever touched one, acting like it's a young girl's skin."

"Come into my bed tonight, and I'll tell you if I have or not."

Guan Liang and Wang Zhuo shivered and quickened their pace.

Such scenes were constantly playing out in the dozens of stores that opened in the first batch nationwide. After getting off work, all the shop assistants had only one feeling, and that was exhaustion.

There were also news reports online about these Red Star Home stores being packed. People seemed to have never seen so many people able to fit into a mobile phone store.

On the 30th, as the time approached ten o'clock in the morning, countless users were already camping on the Red Star Mall, waiting for the sale to open.

When the hand pointed exactly to ten o'clock, users using computers or mobile phones were frantically clicking 'Buy Now'. Although Red Star doesn't do any flash sales now, it's the first sale. What if it runs out immediately?

Sales opened at ten o'clock, and in 5 minutes, the sales data had already reached over 300,000 units, and it even hit a record-breaking 590,000 units at the 10-minute mark.

The Red Star publicity department also announced the entire first sales data half an hour after the sale started.

[Record-breaking! Over one million in 30 minutes!]

Seeing the Social Media Platform post released by Red Star made a group of manufacturers gasp.

Wow!

Is it this fierce?

And Lei Jun, looking at the data released by Red Star, felt his heart bleeding. In Red Star's sales this time, mi users contributed at least 200,000 to Red Star!

Zhao Ming of Huawei was even more determined to find Mr. Ren to ask for the Kirin processor. Last time he mentioned it to Yu Chengbei, he was flatly refused. After returning to the company, he discussed it with him twice more, and Yu Chengbei's tone was very firm!

"You use the latest Kirin chip for the Brand, how am I supposed to handle this p series?"

Now look at Red Star. The high-end Kunpeng mobile phone uses the Lingxiao processor, and the red star 3 also uses the Lingxiao 3 processor. Doesn't it still not have much impact on the sales of the Kunpeng mobile phone?

Just you, Old Yu, holding onto the new processor and not letting go. If you don't let me use it, I'll go straight to Mr. Ren!

"Didn't they say there's no need to scramble for the first sale? Why does it show sold out when I go to buy it."

"Didn't the person above set an alarm? Red Star's first sale doesn't require scrambling, but it is time-limited. Just like the kunpeng phone 2, it's unlimited within the first half-hour of the sale."

"Go check offline. I got mine this morning, and I'm currently using the pure white 4+64 version of the red star 3 to comment for you guys."

"So fast? I'm still in line. I feel like this line stretches from the Magic City to the Imperial Capital. It's been over an hour and it's still not my turn."

[November 2nd at 10:00 AM, the red star 3rd generation starts its second round of sales.]

Facing the complaints from netizens, Red Star also announced on Social Media Platform that the second round of sales would start in three days.
