Chapter 215: My dream is shattered! I am a flower grower!
"Ah! What's going on with this Wanhua VCD?" Namiki Shiho rubbed his head in pain and quickly stood up.
"Forget it, never mind for now. I'm going to cancel my order from Sony first. No matter what, I'm an absolute supporter of Izumi-sama!"
In the advertisement, Izumi actually said that the second-generation Wanhua VCD has higher-definition picture quality, smoother operation and lower noise.
He believed these unconditionally.
However, there was only one reason that ultimately prompted him to cancel his subscription so urgently: his goddess was advertising for a company he had never even heard of before.
Although Sony actually invited his favorite actresses to appear in advertisements, the one he liked the most and was most infatuated with was still Izumizu!
However, when he called, he found that the line was busy.
"Baga, what's going on!"
Namiki Shiho was very annoyed. He didn't know that countless people who had placed orders like him yesterday were calling to cancel their orders today because of this advertisement.
The power of dream lovers and idols can, to a certain extent, have a huge impact. Just look at the European and American markets and you will understand.
Moreover, many of those who unsubscribed did not do so just because of Izumiji.
There are also many small notebooks that see the essence.
This is the second generation of VCDs. The advertising slogan says, "It's more refined, smoother, and its performance surpasses the first generation VCDs on the market in every way!"
Those who are not stupid are already regretting their order yesterday.
As for the price, it was directly announced in the Wanhua VCD advertisement.
Thirty-nine thousand nine hundred yen, which is only nine hundred yen more expensive than the price reduction announced by Sony yesterday.
What is nine hundred yen in this little notebook?
It’s nothing, just the price of a fast food meal or two.
So, a lot of people unsubscribed.
Of course, the order volume will definitely not be as high as yesterday.
But even if only one-fifth of them cancel their orders, it will be a heavy blow to Sony.
Because those who made online purchases on the first day were basically the most loyal customers, and now they can all cancel their orders, so what about today's sales?
Sure enough, Sony did not count the return orders that day, and the number of new online orders on the 3rd was only more than 10,000 units.
These are very sad statistics. Although a large part of the reason for this is that customers who placed orders yesterday called to cancel their orders today, occupying the telephone lines also caused a great impact.
However, the sales volume of offline stores as of 9 o'clock today was only more than 10,000 units.
This situation almost announced that all of Sony's future plans were directly brought to an avalanche by a Wanhua advertisement.
In addition, what made Ohga Norio most sad was that when the sales of the small notebook for the day were over, the securities market on the other side of the ocean also opened.
As expected, the market was green all the way yesterday and red all the way today.
Well, overseas, green means rising, red means falling...
Inside the Amber Villa.
Around ten o'clock in the evening, Tang Xionghua returned home.
Tang Yichen did not sleep.
He was waiting for Tang Xionghua, and when Tang Xionghua came in, he didn't say anything nonsense like "Why didn't you sleep?"
Tang Xionghua closed the door and then spoke softly to Tang Yichen, "Sony's stock price dropped eight points today, and we received more than eight thousand inquiries in the call center at the Xiaobenzi headquarters, and this is because we have limited phone extensions.
We expect our sales to be on par with Sony, or even surpass them, after we go public.”
Tang Yichen finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, this achievement is enough. Little Note, our main goal is to restrict the pace of expansion of these large electronics factories. Now that they have been dealt such a harsh blow, I believe they will not be able to expand abroad in the short term. I think those decoration shops in our country may have to stop decorating!"
"Haha! That's for sure.
Once our second-generation VCDs come out, unless they really want to come to China for charity, they'll have no choice but to stay back!"
It was the third in China, and Europe and the United States also hung signs in front of major stores last night, which was the daytime of the second day.
The second generation of Wanhua VCD will be launched soon. Customers who have made reservations can wait for the second generation VCD to be launched as long as they have not received the goods.
The price of the new product is fifty gold more expensive than the first generation.
One region, one market.
It would be a waste not to make money from the European and American markets, so there is no need to be polite.
After all, people in China are afraid of being criticized and criticized in the future.
Tang Yichen experienced the era of the Internet explosion in later generations.
He knew clearly that netizens in the future would not talk to him about the fact that he originally wanted to suppress the local companies of these two countries, so he sold it at this price.
They won't look at these things, nor will they study them.
All they will see is that you sold your products at a higher price in China than abroad, and they will use this to accuse you of being a traitor.
Although a person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear, when the target is a small country, it is best to avoid taking the blame if possible.
In fact, in China, starting from yesterday, the electronic purchasing department will uniformly inform customers who come to the store when they answer the phone that the second-generation VCD is on the market and the same price will be charged, and the second-generation VCD will be shipped directly at that time.
Moreover, today, the 3rd, the domestic television advertisements were also removed.
The spokesperson did not change, but the advertisement was re-shot, changing from the first generation to the second generation, and a sentence was added in it: give back to the people's support, improve quality, not increase price!
Of course, this advertisement and price announcement is bound to cause trouble.
On the 3rd, Wanhua's after-sales service center and power purchasing center received many calls from customers whose goods had recently arrived, or even had not yet been delivered, requesting to replace them with new second-generation VCDs.
Tang Xionghua had actually thought of this situation when he decided not to increase prices domestically.
Wanhua had already made this decision.
As long as you haven't signed for the payment, you can support free return and replacement of the second generation. As for those who have paid and signed for the payment, there is no way.
There are definitely some people among the public who have purchased Wanhua products who have some complaints about this.
Wanhua also has a solution for this.
No. 3 Tang Xionghua was interviewed by journalists in Wanhua.
Explain in full why the domestic pricing is the same as the first generation.
There is no need to hide it, and there is no need to conceal it.
Confessing everything can explain everything, and may even win the hearts of the people.
If that is the case, why keep it secret and cause dissatisfaction among customers who have purchased Wanhua VCDs?
"Mr. Tang, Wanhua has released its second-generation VCD. As far as we know, the new product has improved its aesthetics and performance, but the price has not increased. Is this true?"
"it is true!"
"Mr. Tang, can you explain why this happened?
According to common sense, general performance improvements will definitely cost money, so why is the price exactly the same as the previous generation?
"It's simple, just because I'm a flower grower!"
"Uh... In front of Tang Xionghua, the Chuzhou TV reporter who asked this question was obviously stunned.
Today's interview is not an exclusive interview, and there is no rehearsal, and he is not the only reporter here.
"Mr. Tang, are you saying that because you're a flower grower, you're giving everyone a discount?"
The reporter tried his best to help Tang Xionghua smooth things over and expressed what he thought was the best understanding.
But Tang Xionghua smiled and shook his head: "Not really!"
Tang Xionghua was stunned again, and smiled at the camera: "If I really say that, everyone will definitely think I'm hypocritical. I'm obviously a businessman, so why do I have to speak so righteously?
In fact, I had no choice but to do this!"
"Why do you say that, Mr. Tang?" a reporter asked.
Tang Xionghua's smile remained unchanged: "If anyone has been paying attention to international developments, especially those related to the small notebook industry, they should know that VCDs are not the only ones being produced by Wanhua globally.
Sony, the company behind the small notebook, launched their products in their own country on the 1st.
Moreover, they have had the product in stock for a long time. If they are successful in launching it in China, they will then make a big push into China, Hong Kong, and even other countries around the world.
This is something I don’t want to see!”
