[Chapter 383: European and American consumers of frying pans]
As time approaches, on August 7, the globally esteemed "virtual world" sales day is approaching. Matrix Technology's major offline sales channels in Greater China are already ready, and online shopping is also ready to cooperate with many e-commerce companies. As soon as the time comes, online and offline sales channels will be opened simultaneously.
Due to the time difference, European and American regions will postpone one working day.
Currently, the total production capacity of "perception helmets" is less than 40000 yuan, which is far from meeting the market demand. It is not enough for Greater China to meet the needs of the market. However, Greater China has allocated 120000 units, and the remaining equipment is sold in the European, North American, and Japan-Korea areas.
On the day of the sales day, there had been a long queue in major offline sales channels in Greater China. The 3,998-USD set of client equipment exceeded 25,000 yuan, but the huge unit sales price still could not stop consumers from loving this product. More than 25,000 yuan is indeed not cheap, but the middle-class group in China is already the backbone of a mainstream consumer group, and there is no pressure to bear this amount of consumption.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Shanghai, known as the "fashion magic capital", is a "virtual world" ceremony address. The offline flagship store is naturally indispensable here. As the sun just rose, the streets outside the flagship store have long been occupied by a team of hundreds of consumers.
"Hello, I am a reporter from Morning Post. Are you queuing so long to buy a 'virtual world' client?" A female reporter interviewed the guy at a party in the middle.
"Then you have to ask, isn't the offline flagship store in the 'virtual world' ahead!" the man with a baseball cap replied.
"It is said that the cost of this high-end electronic product is not cheap, reaching an astonishing RMB 25,987," the reporter said.
"It's a bit expensive, but it's barely acceptable. I participated in the 'double' last month. To be honest, this product is a bit cheaper than 4ooo US dollars. I didn't expect that Matrix Technology will sell at a loss. It's an absolute conscientious company, and it's a company in our country, and it must support it." The man who was interviewed thought for a while and smiled.
At about 9 o'clock, the flagship store opened on time. The reporter who was interviewing ended the interview and immediately arrived at the flagship store. As soon as the door hit, the consumers in the front row suddenly exclaimed, which made the people in the queue liner curious.
"Damn it, the store layout is actually a pattern matching with panoramic visual effects!"
"Walking into the store, it seems like you are entering the 'virtual world', closely following the theme!"
"I'll go, the monster! Yuna is a waiter!"
"Is this considered infringement?"
"Uh, don't you know that Square is now a subsidiary of Matrix Technology?"
"If you don't know, you thought you had arrived in Akihabara!"
"Give me three sets of clients!"
"Sorry, sir, because of the shortage of supply, only one set is limited to purchase per person!"
At this moment, with the arrival of business hours, major offline flagship stores in Greater China are ushering in a hot sales stage. The built-in panoramic visual effects shocked every consumer. It feels wonderful to have a "dolphin" swimming around in the store.
The theme layout of major offline flagship stores is extremely distinct, so the five major game companies will naturally not miss the opportunity to promote their game works. Famous female characters in games such as Tifa, Laura, and Thunder have turned into "waiters" under the panoramic visual effects. This experience feasts every consumer's eyes and is just enjoyable.
The next day, Matrix Technology Headquarters.
Zhang Han, the general manager of the "Virtual World" project team, just came to Ren Hong's company, and the latter said: "How is the daily sales?"
"There are one good news and one bad news, which one do you want to listen to first?" Zhang Han said.
"Let's say it first." Ren Hong said with a smile.
"The good news is that the market has responded in real time to expect evaluation. It seems that we have underestimated the purchasing ability and purchases of domestic consumer groups. Daily offline and online channels have been snatched away, and 12oo thousand sets of equipment have been snatched away. Of course, the purchases from foreigners are also a major reason." Zhang Han thought for a while and said: "Overall, Greater China has achieved great success."
"As for the bad news..." Zhang Han shrugged, looked at Ren Hong, and said: "As we expected, according to the news sent back by his subordinates, Japanese sales in overseas markets are expected to be forced to be cancelled, our products are banned, and European and American areas, Japanese and Korean areas are not unexpectedly restricted on the grounds of endangering national security. There is no explicit policy to issue a ban on sales. Their practice is as tricky as ever, and the sales of products are banned before the investigation is clear, and the investigation order is required."
"As expected." Ren Hong said. He was not surprised at all by this bad news. If it were going on so happily, he would feel something was wrong.
Just after the Western world announced the implementation of a national security investigation order on the "Sensory Helmet" client, the Western people were the first to be furious. Countless consumers were looking forward to the "Sensory Helmet" client and embraced the "virtual world" with the greatest enthusiasm. The authorities announced an investigation order that it was like a pot of melted cold water from the glacier in Greenland was poured on their bodies.
Millions of people protested against the authorities on social media such as Faebook, and the government's website was bombarded and was instantly flooded with saliva.
"That means I can't buy this product? Oh, Boche!!!"
"Damn the investigation order, if I can't play virtual games, I'm afraid of going crazy!"
"I'm very disappointed with this administration, and you can't believe that they are trying to erect an invisible wall in front of us?"
"Trump did not build a wall in Mexico, but this administration is trying to isolate us in the wall so that we cannot have a future!"
"Did you see the picture below? The Statue of Liberty is gone!"
"I want the future! I don't want the damn wall!"
...
Matrix Technology and the Republic will definitely not sit idly by. Western countries have implemented an investigation order on the "virtual world". Matrix Technology immediately shipped all overseas products back to domestic sales. In less than ten days, nearly 4ooo thousand sets of client equipment were completely digested in Greater China, and there was still a shortage of supply.
The Republic did not make any noise, but responded with practical actions. The Tianzhou, the only space station in orbit, was currently operating in human beings, suddenly announced maintenance, "kicking" all foreigners back to Earth. Matrix Technology also used the "drag-to-word technique" for the maintenance of "copy equipment" based on the company's limited human resources.
On the other hand, the process of the strategic cooperation agreement reached with global IT giants such as Intel, ibm, and HP has been stagnant. Whether this agreement can be finally reached faces a severe test. The light curtain in the IT industry has just regained its dawn has fallen into a new haze a few days later. Wall Street is always the fastest reaction place, and the stock market fluctuations of the IT industry companies are as thrilling as roller coasters. The market value of giants such as Intel and HP is once again facing the severe test of falling below the $2ooo billion mark.
