“Well, that concludes all the content for this launch event. Thank you all sincerely for coming!”
“Please exit in an orderly manner. Free small gifts are available at the entrance.”
“If you’re interested in this phone, you can place orders on OTTO Technology’s official website. Headwind Logistics staff will deliver it to your door as soon as possible!”
Chang You looked at his watch. The time had been successfully controlled within one hour. He let out a long sigh of relief and prepared to leave the stage.
However, just as he was halfway there, people below began shouting.
“Is it over already?”
“You haven’t explained anything yet!”
“Tell us more details, I want to buy it!”
“Stop shouting and hurry up to the website to place your order. If you’re late, there won’t be any left!”
The audience below was in chaos, with people shouting all sorts of things. Chang You kept Mr. Pei’s instructions firmly in mind, resolutely controlling the launch event’s duration to within one hour. He didn’t respond to some people’s strong demands and still walked off the stage, forcibly ending the launch event proceedings.
Meanwhile, many quick-reacting people below had already taken out their phones to log into OTTO Technology’s website and started placing orders.
Just one thousand units—if you’re late, they’ll be gone!
Remember, they weren’t just competing with people at the launch venue, but also with the twenty to thirty thousand viewers on the livestream platforms!
Those not particularly interested in the phone began to exit in an orderly fashion, heading to the entrance to collect free small gifts.
But judging from the number of people leaving their seats, it seemed to be only about two-thirds of those attending the launch.
Many people had no intention of moving at all!
Most of those attending this launch were loyal Tenda users, with many aspects of their daily lives closely related to Tenda’s industries. Their desire for this phone far exceeded that of ordinary consumers!
So, the proportion of those staying behind to snap up phones was particularly high!
Pei Qian sat in the corner, watching this scene with growing anxiety.
Go away! Why are you all lingering here?
Pei Qian looked at the guy to his left, who was rapidly tapping the screen with his fingers, quickly filling in the shipping address on OTTO Technology’s website, then confirming payment in one smooth process.
After the payment was successful, the guy couldn’t help but clench his fist: “Yes! Got it!”
Looking at others, they seemed to be making the same movements!
It was obvious what these people still in the launch venue were doing—they were all scrambling to make purchases!
Pei Qian wanted to grab them by the hair and shout: “Don’t buy it! None of you buy it!”
However, the situation seemed beyond control…
Pei Qian hurriedly opened his phone, logged into OTTO Technology’s website, clicked into the OTTO E1 phone’s product details page, and saw the remaining inventory number.
327!
Refresh again, 116!
Refresh again, sold out!
As the “sold out” label appeared, Pei Qian heard a chorus of “holy crap” exclamations instantly ring out in the venue.
“It’s over already?”
“Gone in seconds? I had just finished filling in my address!”
“That’s the importance of fast fingers…”
“So happy I got one!”
“Is anyone willing to transfer theirs? I’ll pay extra! Please transfer one to me!”
People were already offering higher prices.
Pei Qian was about to spit blood. What the hell is this!
Crazy, they’ve all gone crazy. Those thousand phones were originally meant to sit in the warehouse until the next settlement period, but they sold out in less than two minutes after going on sale at the launch!
This even included the time it took everyone to type on their screens. If they hadn’t needed to fill in addresses, the sell-out time would have been even faster.
Only then did people reluctantly prepare to leave, cursing under their breath.
“Hunger marketing! Damn it!”
“What good is a stock of just one thousand units? So infuriating!”
“Damn, I should have camped on the website as soon as they announced such limited stock at the beginning of the launch. I didn’t react quickly enough!”
“When will they restock?”
“They’ve gone crazy for money. What’s wrong with phone manufacturers these days? Must they resort to hunger marketing to sell products?”
Pei Qian was swept along with the crowd as they exited, with unspoken bitterness in his heart.
It’s not hunger marketing!
Hunger, yes, but there was no intention to market!
I just planned to produce one thousand units as a token effort, to keep losses small, but you all bought them so eagerly. I didn’t expect this to happen!
