39: Chapter 39: The Vanmi phone went on sale and became a huge hit!!!
"1999? Just to make friends?"
The computer livestream screen went quiet, and one could clearly feel that everyone at the scene was stunned.
Chen Bing and the others were also stunned for a moment, looks of disbelief appearing on their faces.
"This price... did I hear that right? Are we that important?"
Qian Donglai even rubbed his eyes and looked back at the computer screen.
"Hear it wrong, my ass! The price is right there!!!"
Sun Chuyang, sitting on his stool, stood up abruptly and slammed the table in excitement.
"1999!!! So cheap!!!"
"The performance is no worse than Apple, the charging speed is faster, and the price is slashed by more than half!!!"
"Damn, what are you hesitating for? Snatch it up!!!"
"Snatch what? It hasn't even hit the market yet, pre-order first!"
"This price is so conscientious. Even if I have to eat salted vegetables for two months, I'm going for it. It's just right to replace this antique Nokia feature phone in my hand. I'm definitely making friends with Mr. Lei..."
"Study God, are you buying one?" Sun Chuyang, who had already quickly completed his pre-order, suddenly turned his head.
"I'm not buying!" Zhou Fan shook his head and smiled politely.
"Alright, he said he's not buying, what are you doing!" Chen Bing saw Sun Chuyang wanted to continue and couldn't help but interrupt.
The clothes Zhou Fan was wearing looked very ordinary, and his financial situation was clearly not great.
There must be a reason why he wasn't buying. Although, judging by the announced performance, the cost-performance ratio of the fanmi mobile phone was genuinely good, if his financial situation didn't allow it... there was really no need.
"One more question, how did you know the price wouldn't exceed two thousand..." But Chen Bing quickly realized.
"I'm a shareholder of this company, of course I know."
"I thought I was good at bragging, but I didn't expect you to be even better... The King of Bragging in Room 608, looks like I have to abdicate." Sun Chuyang didn't believe it at all.
"You just arrived today, let's go eat together, let's go, let's go!"
"That's right, my treat!"
Chen Bing and Qian Donglai looked at each other; a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, their dorm's Study God was actually showing off.
However, they quite liked this personality; at least it was better than a mute.
With the conclusion of the fanmi mobile phone launch event, the internet was completely boiling over, and videos of the scene filmed from various angles began to spread wildly online...
Fast Charging Technology...
Large-capacity battery...
Self-developed operating system...
Silky smooth operation and functional innovation.
Even though Mr. Lei didn't do any promotion, the fanmi mobile phone became completely popular after this launch event.
Not just within the industry, some people who usually didn't pay much attention to smartphones were also forced to learn about Fanmi, then became attracted, curious, and finally started paying attention.
Fanmi Technology, second-floor data center hall.
On this day of national celebration, not a single person in the entire company was resting; sales staff in suits, researchers in lab coats, and technical staff in plaid shirts gathered in the hall, their expressions carrying a hint of tension.
"I didn't expect the buzz from the launch event to ferment so quickly!" Li Guoqiang checked the information online with his phone, his expression revealing a trace of excitement.
"This buzz rises quickly and fades quickly. The number of people who can truly be converted into our loyal users is a minority, so it still depends on how many users accept us!"
Mr. Lei did not hold a very optimistic attitude toward the temporary internet craze. He knew very well that such hot news appeared every day, but how many people actually remembered such news?
"The first batch is 300,000 units. I don't know how many can be sold in one hour..."
"The ideal figure is 10,000 units. Although the current online buzz is good, our previous promotional efforts were not enough. Samsung and Apple spend far more on advertising than we do; we definitely can't compare in the short term!"
"If we reach 10,000 units, the returned capital can increase advertising investment, forming a virtuous cycle. What I'm afraid of is not even reaching 10,000 units..."
"Samsung and Apple are launching at the same time as us. It's naturally very difficult to compete with two such giants, so we shouldn't be too optimistic. It would be quite good if we can meet our expected goals!"
"It is said that the offline stores of these two companies are already packed. Especially Apple; many people have been queuing since last night. It's very exaggerated!"
In the hall, one voice after another, all revealing tension and unease.
The people present, as a mobile phone manufacturer, were naturally very concerned about the phones currently hitting the market.
Especially when facing the two great mountains of the smartphone industry, any relaxation on their part would be a sign of disrespect to their competitors and to themselves.
"Besides the official website, are there any issues with the online channels on other E-commerce Platforms?" Mr. Lei asked in a serious tone.
"Definitely no problems. E-commerce Platform, and E-commerce Platform have both listed the products. We are just waiting for the time to come, and we can immediately start selling! Additionally, E-commerce platform has given us a relatively good traffic push plan, with both on-site and off-site ads being pushed around the clock!"
Li Guoqiang spoke in a deep voice, his tone serious, and also carrying a hint of unease.
"What about E-commerce platform?" Mr. Lei asked again.
"The products have been listed on E-commerce platform, but the promotional effort is average. They only gave us a homepage carousel ad, and the off-site traffic diversion is not much. I heard it's because Apple and Samsung have already booked all the resources for the next week!"
Facing these two major giants, Li Guoqiang felt somewhat helpless. Their company had just been established and really couldn't compare to companies as wealthy and powerful as Samsung and Apple.
"The traffic diversion from E-commerce Platform alone is probably not enough..." Mr. Lei frowned. In the field of e-commerce, E-commerce Platform could only be considered a little brother in terms of scale, and the promotional effect would definitely not be as good as E-commerce platform.
"However, it has to be this way!"
Mr. Lei looked at the sales data displayed on the screen; it was still zero.
The effect of the promotion on each channel could also be seen intuitively. The traffic on the official website had reached the million level so far, but most of them were likely just here to join in the fun. How many could be converted into orders was still an unknown.
"One minute until the product goes on sale!" Mr. Lei had stopped all other thoughts and was watching silently.
"Fifty seconds!"
"Ten seconds!"
"Three seconds!"
"Two!"
"One!!!"
"All sales channels open!"
The entire hall went quiet.
The numbers on the big screen began to jump, data flowed rapidly, and the number representing the sales quantity flickered.
Immediately after, a number appeared, and everyone's heart skipped a beat!
"It's five hundred!"
"One thousand!!!"
"..."
Watching the continuously jumping numbers, in just five minutes, Mr. Lei felt as if he had gone through a great ordeal. Right now, he felt his shoulders relax slightly.
The others couldn't control their shouting.
"It's a hit, the data on the official website is a hit!!"
"Ten thousand units in five minutes, and it's still rising at a rate of one thousand units per minute!!!"
"The data from E-commerce Platform is also a hit. Real-time sales have already exceeded five thousand, and it's still accelerating. It is expected to reach fifty thousand units within an hour!!!"
"E-commerce platform is at three thousand, and the data is also rising rapidly. The conversion rate has basically reached fifty to one. The preliminary estimate for the sales volume in one hour should also reach about thirty thousand units!!!"
"Mr. Lei, the traffic on the official website is too high, and there is already a lag. Should we expand capacity?"
Everyone's gaze immediately focused on Mr. Lei. Excited voices, uncontrollable excitement, many people's bodies were slightly trembling.
"Expand capacity immediately! We must ensure the official website runs smoothly. Contact all platforms to track data. If any abnormal situations occur, solve them immediately!!"
"Keep a close eye on the sales customer service. The reception attitude must be good. Do not let any problems arise at this critical moment!!"
"Also, the delivery chain. Add more manpower immediately. We must ensure that every phone is sent out on the same day and delivered to the customer at the fastest speed!"
"Also, call Engineer Zhou... forget it, I'll go personally..."
