Chapter 109, We Want a Virtual Machine
When he heard that the virtual machine had arrived, William felt relieved and quickly asked his employees to work overtime to prepare. It was early in the morning and they needed to unload the goods and arrange them for the global release of the virtual machine tomorrow.
William carefully inspected the store and checked everything carefully to ensure that there would be no problems with the release of tomorrow's virtual machine. He had been the manager of a fruit flagship store and had rich work experience in this area.
"There are people already lining up outside?"
When he came to the gate, William was shocked because he actually saw people queuing up here with small tents. You must know that it is December, which is the coldest season of the year. The temperature here in London is also the same now. Quite low, I didn’t expect people to start queuing here.
And William found that the queue was getting longer and longer. Obviously, there were many people who had not pre-ordered a virtual machine today and were afraid that they would not be able to buy a virtual machine tomorrow, so they rushed here overnight, bringing tents with them, preparing to stay here all night while getting ready tomorrow. Buy a virtual machine as soon as possible.
"Fruit phones have never been so crazy back then!"
William shook his head. He had seen this phenomenon before when he was the manager of Fruit Mobile, but that was during the day when many people lined up in long lines to buy mobile phones. He would never say that in the cold winter like now. , waiting in line all night to buy a mobile phone for an electronic product.
Early the next morning, after a busy night, William finally breathed a sigh of relief. All the preparations had been completed, and all the virtual machines in the experience area had been installed. He connected to the fastest network, put on the virtual machine, and his whole body... I was instantly immersed in the beauty of the virtual world. William also experienced it personally last night. He was instantly attracted and understood the power of this epoch-making technological product.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone, finish your breakfast first, we will start selling on time at 10 o'clock."
Although he looked very tired, William was still very excited. He personally experienced the power of the virtual machine and was full of confidence in the future of the virtual machine.
"Manager, come over quickly and take a look."
At this time, an employee came over in a hurry and said, looking very anxious. William quickly followed and came to the door and saw an incredible scene through the glass.
At this time, there was already a long queue outside the virtual machine product experience store. It was impossible to see the end at a glance. There were people queuing up on one side of the street, and everyone was waiting anxiously. The London police also came to help maintain order, for fear that something would go wrong.
Because the number of people gathered here was so huge, the people who received the news yesterday all hurried over today. Many people in front of them had stayed up all night with their tents. At this time, they were putting away their tents and drinking. While enjoying the hot coffee and breakfast sent by my friend, I looked at the virtual machine experience store from time to time.
At the same time, there were people from the news media who came over after smelling the smell. They had already set up their spears and cannons at this time, recording the scene in front of them, constantly explaining, and occasionally interviewing people in line.
The whole scene seemed like something major had happened, with the police maintaining order and the news media being intrusive. It was comparable to the lively scene when John Bull's national team won the World Cup.
"This is terrible. We pre-sold too many yesterday, and today we only have less than 10,000 virtual machines, which is simply not enough to sell. I don't know how to explain it to these consumers who stayed up late and queued up."
William frowned instantly. Although he had expected the popularity of the virtual machine, he never expected that there would be so many people queuing up overnight. When he opened the news on his mobile phone, he realized that the queue was now several blocks away. Wherever they go, more than 500 police officers across London have been deployed to maintain order, for fear of something similar to a terrorist attack or riot.
“All 50,000 virtual machines at the Seoul Virtual Machine Experience Store were sold out in less than half an hour. Some consumers were so dissatisfied that they had to wait in line all night to buy virtual machines that they even smashed the glass of the experience store and forcibly snatched them away. A virtual machine for experience. Fortunately, the police controlled the situation in time. "
"The price of a virtual machine in Tokyo is as high as US$50,000, which has caused strong dissatisfaction among the people in the South Bangzi country. In the South Bangzi country, a virtual machine can be purchased for only US$20,000, while in China, a virtual machine can be purchased for only US$20,000. The price is only 10,000 Chinese dollars, less than 2,000 US dollars.”
"The first batch of virtual machines have arrived in the hands of consumers, and all consumers are full of praise for the powerful functions of virtual machines. The most popular fashion now is to wear virtual machine watches, which are standard accessories for successful people."
Looking at the news messages on the mobile phone, almost all the news has been occupied by the release of virtual machines. Due to the time difference, the virtual machines in the East were released first, so related news came out here first.
"Hey, everyone, come here. It seems that our preparations are still somewhat inadequate. Virtual machine experience stores in other regions have had some problems, so we need to pay special attention to a few points when we open the store."
"First, we must pay attention to order, and there must be no disturbance."
"Second, the virtual machines used for experience in the experience area must always be careful to prevent someone from taking them away with force and violence."
"Third, after the virtual machines are sold, customers who are emotional must be persuaded patiently and no verbal conflicts should occur."
"Does everyone remember this?"
William called all the employees in the store to his side and emphasized it again. In fact, the experience stores that have already sold virtual machines have more or less encountered a lot of problems, so William had to pay attention to these.
At 10 o'clock in the morning local time in London, under the attention of the public, the virtual machine experience store opened on time, and the team that had been waiting anxiously for a long time rushed into the experience sky in an instant.
"I want ten virtual machines!"
"Sorry, sir, because of the shortage of supply, each person can only buy one."
"Give me one right away, watch style, white."
"Okay, sir, 20,000 pounds, do you want to pay by card or cash?"
"Card!"
"I'm here to pick up the goods, this is my receipt."
David said to the beautiful waitress holding the receipt from yesterday.
"He had already pre-ordered yesterday, why did he queue up all night?"
The people behind were dumbfounded when they heard it. They didn't expect that this person had already pre-ordered and still queued up all night.
"This is the virtual machine you want. Please check it carefully. If there is no problem, please sign here."
A small box was brought to the table, attracting everyone's attention. The three huge Chinese characters "virtual machine" on it instantly attracted everyone's attention. Under everyone's envious eyes, David opened the box and took out a watch-style virtual machine. Without any hesitation, he inserted the mobile phone card that had been prepared long ago, and then put it on his wrist.
After a slight press of the button, a weak current flowed through, and a pattern appeared in his mind. After a set of setting instructions, he could officially connect to the virtual network.
"Haha, the virtual machine is in hand! I can easily control everything with just one thought. This feels great!"
With one thought, he instantly sent this good news to all his friends, and then while his brain was surfing the Internet, he walked out of the virtual machine experience store very high-profile, holding the virtual machine with his fist clenched in front of his chest, making the news media that had been waiting for a long time flash countless lights.
The flow of people moved forward very quickly. Many people, like David, had already pre-ordered virtual machines yesterday, but they still couldn't wait to line up overnight to pick up the goods today. In just less than half an hour, less than 40,000 virtual machines were sold out.
"Everyone, I'm very sorry, all the virtual machines in our store have been sold out. Please wait patiently for the next batch. It is expected that about 80,000 virtual machines will arrive next Monday."
As a manager, William had already let the police enter the store in advance, and then said to the long queue behind him very embarrassedly. As soon as he finished speaking, the pot exploded instantly.
"Shit, it's only been half an hour, and you told me that there is no stock."
"I queued overnight, staring at the cold wind, for more than ten hours, and now you tell me that there is no stock."
"We want virtual machines!" "We want virtual machines!"
The crowd who heard the news became emotional, shouting slogans, and some even started throwing things in dissatisfaction. Fortunately, William had been prepared for a long time, and the police quickly stopped the riots and kept the crowd in order.
"Everyone, although there is no stock now, you can place an order now to pre-order the next batch of goods. When the goods arrive, you can come and pick them up directly. This is not a waste of time."
"And we have a lot of experience machines here in our store. You can experience them first and feel the charm of virtual machines first!"
In desperation, William had to use the pre-sale trick again, which slowly satisfied everyone. Although there was no stock, the sales of virtual machines were still very hot. After one sale, the quota for virtual machines for the next week was sold out.
The scene of the London virtual machine experience store was staged all over the world. Because the supply was too scarce, the average distribution was very small for each experience store, and it was sold out quickly. Even the next batch of virtual machines was sold out in advance.
Every experience store in the world basically sold out in less than half an hour, and even the next batch of 10 million virtual machines were sold out in advance within a few hours.
