Special Agent’s Rebirth: The Almighty Goddess of Quick Transmigration - Chapter 315
Gao Heng thought to himself with immense satisfaction.
Once the infringement and consumer complaints were all suppressed, the Ye Family would be left holding the bag, facing serious consequences.
A stock limit-up in three days? Yeah, right, as if that would happen!
Moreover, he had already reached an agreement with Dice. He had licensed the 3D imaging technology to Orange Phone.
Orange Phone had originally planned to release a new model, but postponed it by half a month due to integrating this 3D imaging technology. This coincidentally meant its release would clash with E-Phone’s launch. With Orange Phone on the market, E-Phone would face a stark comparison.
The chances of the Ye Family turning this situation around were extremely slim.
Dice’s reply came quickly: “Orange Phone launched today in M Country with strong sales. The official release in China is tomorrow at 8 AM. However, I can’t reach Y. Our next collaboration might have to be postponed.”
“So that’s the situation,” Gao Heng mused, already imagining the sensational reception Orange Phone would receive. “Alright, I’ll go check it out tomorrow.”
He didn’t even bother looking into E-Phone’s dismal performance, instead spending the night contacting Orange Phone’s agent in China.
Meanwhile, a certain sales platform had already opened pre-orders.
The first night’s pre-order sales weren’t huge, just over two thousand units.
By the next day, most of the people who had purchased the first ten thousand phones had received their devices.
Those who had adopted a wait-and-see attitude finally realized this wasn’t some marketing stunt by the Ye Family at all!
True holographic projection really existed in reality, right there on that small phone.
This was truly earth-shattering news!
Spurred by enthusiastic online recommendations and friends showing off their new devices, everyone flocked to the official website, only to find the initial stock sold out, with only pre-orders available.
And there were only a hundred thousand units available for pre-order.
Even though pre-orders meant waiting until next month—an agonizing wait—the thought that the website stated only a hundred thousand units would be available next month, and that pre-orders were the only option with no immediate stock until the month after, made up their minds. Those persuaded by friends and bloggers didn’t hesitate any longer and placed their orders immediately.
The previously unremarkable pre-order numbers gradually began to climb the rankings.
“Number one on the pre-order chart!” The person at the main sales platform exclaimed excitedly to the general manager.
This was truly ushering in a new era for phones. They had never seen any phone achieve such high sales figures right from the start.
As insiders, they understood something else clearly.
The Ye and Ning Families hadn’t even planned to hire celebrity endorsements. They had simply handed E-Phone over to the platform for sales and hadn’t intervened further.
The strong start was entirely due to the phone itself being worth buying, leading to word-of-mouth spreading like wildfire.
Thinking this, the General Manager immediately turned to his assistant. “Contact the Ye Family. Let’s discuss the foreign distribution rights.”
As a sales platform, their overseas channels were far more extensive than those of the Ning or Ye Families.
Even though E-Phone had only been on the market for two days and its name wasn’t yet nationwide in China, he was confident that, given the trend, it wouldn’t be long before E-Phone became a massive hit!
Therefore, securing the foreign sales rights from the Ye Family in these early stages was crucial.
The team hurried off to contact the Ye and Ning Families.
They missed Gao Heng, who came looking for them.
“They’re gone?” Gao Heng was surprised the sales platform’s General Manager wasn’t available. He frowned. “Whatever, I’ll deal with it this afternoon.”
He didn’t pay it much mind, convinced that the Orange Phone with 3D imaging was about to take China by storm.
Ye Jia was closely following the collaboration between the Ning and Ye Families.
She had been learning oil painting at Teacher Lin’s house yesterday, so she hadn’t gone back and hadn’t seen the E-Phone.
Hearing about the Orange Phone launch, she came straight over from Master Lin’s place.
“Dad, people online were already comparing Ye Family’s E-Phone with the Orange 3D Phone,” Ye Jia thought of Ning Yunshu; the other party didn’t seem foolish enough to misstep so badly. “They couldn’t actually have a secret weapon, could they?”
Uncle Ye was nonchalant. “What can their shoddy phone, priced just over four thousand, possibly offer? At that price, expecting it to compete with Orange Phone? Don’t worry, I already had my assistant file complaints. How could they possibly compare to a 3D phone?”
“You’re right,” Ye Jia nodded. “They simply can’t compete with us.”
As they spoke, loyal Orange Phone fans had already started queuing up to buy the new model.
The morning sales were quite good too.
“Wait until the afternoon; sales will definitely pick up even more.” Both Uncle Ye and Gao Heng were full of confidence.
The Orange Phone was priced at 9999, a thousand more than previous models, positioning it as a premium phone.
There were plenty who could afford an Orange Phone, especially among its loyal fanbase.
Seeing the high price, they didn’t bat an eye; instead, they felt a sense of anticipation. If the E-Phone, priced over four thousand, had holographic projection, wouldn’t the Orange Phone be even more impressive?
Thinking this, those who had bought both phones couldn’t wait to compare them.
They ultimately discovered the Orange Phone only had an additional 3D imaging feature!
Had it been before the E-Phone’s release, they would have been amazed by this 3D imaging, as it was still under development before.
But with the E-Phone already out…
The two simply couldn’t be compared.
A prominent blogger posted videos of both phones along with a lengthy text:
[“I was once a loyal Orange Phone fan, but this time, I can’t recommend buying it. You’ve seen the videos. Whether it’s boot-up speed or overall performance, the Orange Phone can’t match the E-Phone, let alone the E-Phone’s holographic projection. With a price difference of nearly double, I urge those considering the Orange Phone to think carefully.”]
Most people shared this blogger’s sentiment.
In the afternoon, Ye Jia, Gao Heng, and the others stayed.
They wanted to see if the street would be packed with people queuing for the phone.
However, by one o’clock, only one person had shown up.
“Wait, I think they must still be on their way,” Gao Heng insisted. “There will be more people soon.”
But from one o’clock until three, while more people came than initially, it was only a little over a hundred people, less than a tenth of the morning crowd.
What was going on?
Gao Heng’s face turned green.
“Mr. Gao, quickly look at social media!” A manager responsible for the launch exclaimed in horror.
**
At the same time, the Qin Corporation manager, as usual, opened the stock market to check recent trends and Qin Corporation’s trading activity.
Before he could even find Qin Corporation’s stock, his attention was grabbed by the one ranked first. His hand paused.
He wiped his glasses, closed the network connection, and reopened it, thinking he had seen wrong.
But this time, looking carefully, it was true. Ye Corporation’s stock had hit the limit-up, sitting firmly in the top position on the gainers list!
+10.9%. It had really happened, just as Ye Shaohua had boldly announced online three days ago. It had directly hit the limit-up!
At this point, the Qin Corporation manager didn’t hesitate any longer. He immediately dialed the internal line to contact the General Manager, his movements so hurried he knocked several files off his desk.
“We never should have refused the Ye Family’s collaboration offer that day!” He genuinely regretted it, banging his head on the desk in frustration.
He had actually refused to collaborate with the Ye Family!
