46: Chapter 46 Bai Jingqing Changes His Name Again

Although many people are praising the xiaomi phone, there are also those who have expressed concerns.

"Brother, that may be true, but don't think about it too much. Let's deal with the future when it comes. I'm going to say something quite discouraging here: if xiaomi continues to sell like this, it probably won't be long before it goes bankrupt."

"Although it's discouraging, it is indeed a fact. A phone with such high performance selling at such a low price—who knows how much money Boss Bai loses for every unit sold. I think if things continue to develop as they are now, there are only two paths for the xiaomi phone. The first path is bankruptcy, waiting until Boss Bai loses all his capital and then declares bankruptcy; the second is a price hike; after the xiaomi phone builds up a certain reputation, he starts raising prices crazily, perhaps even to prices more outrageous than the current Li Xiang Technology! After all, if he wants to survive, he can't do it without profit at such a low price!"

"Exactly, the price of the xiaomi phone is just too low! Think about it, the ideal a8 Pro can sell for 9999. Even if its profit margin is high and Li Xiang Technology's brand power is strong, the cost must be around 5000 yuan, right? At this price, the xiaomi phone is completely selling at a loss! If it continues to sell like this, the outcome for xiaomi will definitely be bankruptcy, and then everyone won't be able to buy such a good phone anymore. I can only say let's take it one step at a time and cherish what we have for now!"

"Boss Bai, I don't know if you are in the forum or if you can see my post. If you can see it, please listen to everyone's advice and raise the price a little. We can accept it if you raise it to 4,000 or 5,000. No matter what, you have to make some profit! Only then can the company continue to operate healthily and for the long term."

"Right! Brothers, is anyone near Boss Bai? Those near the phone shop, go over and pass him a message. Let him raise the price a bit, let him make a little money. Now that the reputation of the xiaomi phone has spread, he can adopt a strategy of small profits but quick turnover. Otherwise, when xiaomi goes bankrupt, we really won't be able to buy such cheap and easy-to-use phones anymore!"

More and more people in the forum expressed concern about whether Bai Jingqing's phone shop could operate healthily; they were genuinely afraid that Bai Jingqing's phone shop would go out of business.

As the calls for Boss Bai to raise prices grew louder, those who hadn't yet bought a xiaomi phone finally took action, and there were more purchases of the xiaomi 5 phone in the short term. Because they were afraid that one day the xiaomi phone would really raise its price. Although they said they supported Boss Bai raising the price, if they could buy it cheaper, it was definitely better to buy it cheaper. Only a fool wouldn't take advantage of a bargain.

Bai Jingqing would browse the honor of kings forum whenever he had free time, and naturally, he saw these posts. He was so touched in his heart! You people are really quite kind!

This era is not quite the same as the one he came from before he transmigrated. People in this era are a bit more pure, kind, and friendly; it's not like the poor online environment of later generations. So, many people genuinely wanted Bai Jingqing to raise the price of the xiaomi 5 phone.

Bai Jingqing was moved to tears. A phone that cost only 90 yuan, and he was selling it for 2999—that's dozens of times the profit! He was scamming them this much, and yet these customers still regarded him as a very conscientious businessman; it made him feel a bit embarrassed!

Seeing them call him a "conscientious businessman" and a "people's entrepreneur" one after another, he still blushed a little; he really couldn't live up to these titles.

At this moment, he happened to see that his phone shop was still piled with a lot of miscellaneous items, including phone cases, wired earphones, tempered glass screen protectors, chargers, data cables, and other messy accessories. These were all goods that the phone shop used to sell before he transmigrated. Anyway, with the system, he didn't have any use for these things for the time being, and keeping them here would just let them gather dust. It would be better to just do a favor and give them to the customers who bought his phones. In this way, he could live up to their praise for him a little, and also live up to his own conscience a little.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly got up, took a new blank large signboard, and went outside the phone shop, wanting to write down this welfare policy.

However, at this moment, Pang Xietang, who was opposite Bai Jingqing's phone shop, had sharp eyes and immediately saw Bai Jingqing walking out of the door! He saw the poster in his hand! The blank poster didn't have anything written on it yet! He was overjoyed!

Pang Xietang's phone shop hadn't been open for business for a long time. This was mainly because he was too close to Bai Jingqing's shop; the two could be said to be natural rivals. If a customer wanted to go into these two shops to buy a phone, they would undoubtedly compare the products of the two shops. Bai Jingqing's phones were sold so cheaply that, of course, Pang Xietang's phone shop couldn't sell anything.

But on this day, a customer came into Pang Xietang's phone shop. This customer was an elderly man. The old man probably saw that there were a lot of people in the opposite phone shop and found it troublesome. After all, he didn't have any special requirements for a phone, so he simply came to this empty shop, thinking he would just pick a phone that would do.

Pang Xietang was like a wolf that hadn't seen meat for too long; his eyes glowed green when he looked at the old man. So he frantically introduced the Li Xiang Phones that were sold at a very high price and had a very high profit margin. However, the old man was a bit hesitant when faced with such high prices, struggling back and forth, constantly comparing various things.

Originally, there was no one in Pang Xietang's shop, and dealing with the old man for a while to make a sale was a good thing. But at this moment, seeing Bai Jingqing holding a new blank signboard in his hand, he wanted to go out and see what tricks this kid was up to again. He didn't really want to keep tangling with the old man, so he said to the old man: "Take your time looking, I'm going out for a moment." Afterward, he went directly to the entrance of Bai Jingqing's phone shop opposite.

"Yo, yo, yo, isn't this Boss Bai? Why are you changing the sign again? Did you get new phones in again?"

With such a sour tone, Bai Jingqing couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him. He rolled his eyes at him and said: "What does it have to do with you? Get lost!"

Pang Xietang chuckled, not annoyed: "Haha, you finally can't hold out anymore, right? It's time to raise prices, brother! I see your transaction volume these past few days is really not low! You even specifically hired a few employees to help you ship packages. You should have raised prices long ago! You had to lose so much before raising prices; do you really think this kind of marketing strategy is useful? Do you really think your reputation has been established? Do you really think people will still pay up after you raise the price?"
