Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1025: Smart Fitness Drying Rack Sample

May 7th, Monday...

Pei Qian and Meng Chang took a car to Otto Technologies in the afternoon.

This time, he went to Otto Technologies not because of the G1 cell phone but because of the smart fitness drying rack.

G1’s cell phone received a warm response the moment it was released. Many people were discussing it online. Of course, there was also a group of people who were crazily defaming this cell phone until there was nothing left.

It was logical for G1’s cell phone to be defamed.

That was because the digital circle in the country, especially the cell phone circle, was a very deep pool. It was actually very common to hire fake reviewers to attack their friendly competitors, but no one admitted it.

That was normal. The cell phone industry had bright prospects, but competition was fierce.

It was said that it had a bright future because people would become more and more inseparable from cell phones in the foreseeable future. The cell phones would be integrated into various functions such as video play, games, smart residential control, communication, photography, and so on, affecting all aspects of people’s lives.

The continuous innovation of cell phone technology would allow cell phones to be updated and replaced very quickly. Most people would change their cell phones in a year if it was fast, or two years if it was slow. The cell phone market was a very vast market.

However, the competition in the cell phone industry was very intense. There was no need to talk about foreign brands like POUIO cell phones. Domestic cell phone brands were also chasing each other and not giving in to each other. It was inevitable that there would be more gunpowder in a life-and-death competition.

Otto Technologies was a newly-established technology company. Until now, it had only released two cell phones. Its market share was also very low. Logically speaking, it should have been living a peaceful life.

However, the problem was that these two cell phones were very popular on the internet, they were naturally hot discussion topics no matter the quantity sold!

What’s more, the pricing of these two cell phones was too high. They easily stood in the high-end domain that many cell phone manufacturers had gone through painstaking means to barely stand on or could not stand on. What’s more ridiculous was that consumers were quite accepting of these pricings. How could people not be envious?

Thus, Otto’s cell phone would definitely be defamed. That was unavoidable.

What’s more, those who defamed Otto’s cell phone might not be fake reviewers. It could also be fans of other cell phone manufacturers. They could not understand why Otto’s phone would sell so well so they also attacked it online.

Pei Qian casually browsed the forum and found that the people who had hacked G1 cell phones were mainly focused on the following points: Some technologies were not mature and lowered the usage experience; they were too expensive and suspected of taxing their IQ; most of the so-called ‘new technologies’ were not self-developed. In fact, other cell phone manufacturers were also doing similar full screen display proposals. Moreover, a batch of similar models would soon be released.

Pei Qian was very happy to see Otto’s cell phone being defamed.

The more they slandered, the less cell phones they would sell and the more he would lose!

However, the problem was that Pei Qian carefully flipped through the discussion about Otto cell phones and found that these views were quickly refuted. What’s more, it did not affect the G1 cell phone’s popularity...

The technology was not mature enough to affect the usage experience?

Nonsense, we already knew about it. We bought it with the mentality of a lab rat.

Too expensive? Suspected of an IQ tax?

Those who felt that this cell phone was a tax on IQ were probably the ones with real IQ problems. They could tell that this cell phone was really worth it with just a little calculation!

Other cell phone manufacturers were doing the same?

Get the other cell phone manufacturers to sell these cell phones then!

The netizens were exchanging verbal jabs. In the end, the haters could not find any critical slander spots after a long time!

That made Pei Qian feel very regretful.

What a pity!

The battle of public opinion in the cell phone industry was actually very dangerous.

Some fake reviewers would grab on to one of the cell phone brands’ shortcomings and attack them crazily. Even if they had no shortcomings, they would forcefully make up shortcomings and attack them. It would form a certain stereotype and subtly influence many consumers as long as similar comments were repeated many times.

For example, hiring fake reviewers to promote a certain cell phone brand’s ‘poor quality’, ‘poor signal’, ‘severe fever’, ‘cutting corners’, and so on. They would label many potential consumers with similar labels as long as they advertised too much and repeated it everywhere. In the future, they would subconsciously avoid this brand’s cell phone when they encounter it.

Of course, these criticisms were not baseless. There might be similar problems with a certain cell phone brand, but most people would still retain this stereotype even if the model improved in the future.

Otto cell phone obviously had many flaws as well. There were many points that the haters could catch, but the problem was that these flaws had been repeatedly mentioned and discussed at the news conference...

The haters wanted to discuss a certain flaw. If it was another cell phone, netizens would reply: “There’s actually such a problem? Pay attention!”

On the other hand, the netizens would reply below if it was Otto cell phones. “Did you just find that out? Did the internet just reach your village? It was already mentioned at the news conference. Didn’t you see it?”

How were they to continue criticizing them!

At first, Pei Qian had thought that if G1’s public opinion on the internet was bad, he could still consider paying for fake reviewers from his own pocket to add fuel to the fire. However, he dismissed that thought seeing the current trend.

In this situation, hiring fake reviewers out of his own pocket was no different from spending money on nothing.

If he had the money, he might as well save it to increase his profits.

The System had opened a new mysterious reward during the previous settlement. Pei Qian could spend a certain amount of his Personal Wealth and increase the profit margin of a certain industry. The ratio was 1: 100. The maximum amount of Personal Wealth that can be consumed per cycle was 100,000 yuan.

In other words, Pei Qian would be able to give 10 million yuan to a certain industry and start burning money crazily if he paid 100,000 yuan out of his own pocket.

Wouldn’t spending it on this be more worth it than hiring fake reviewers?

Of course, Pei Qian had not thought about which industry to use this limit on.

However, there was no need to rush. After all, there were still more than two months until this cycle’s settlement. There was still a lot of time to slowly consider.

Meng Chang was also sitting in the car with a slightly uneasy expression.

His original plan was to continue slacking this week and think about the publicity plan next week. However, Boss Pei had asked him to go to Otto Technologies to see the smart fitness drying rack today.

Meng Chang had no reason to reject him and could only follow him.

He was feeling complicated.

Initially, Meng Chang hated and feared Boss Pei because he had already received a base salary for several months. Obviously, this was all thanks to Boss Pei.

Meng Chang was being played by Boss Pei, but he had no choice and could only rage helplessly.

However, what happened recently changed Meng Chang’s impression of Boss Pei. He could not figure out what Boss Pei was thinking.

At first, Meng Chang wanted to do the promotional plan for Otto G1 cell phones, but Boss Pei stopped him. Meng Chang thought that G1 cell phones had poor sales. In the end, he saw that there were obviously good reviews online!

Meng Chang could not help but feel a little afraid. If he had created the publicity plan earlier, he would probably have gotten a zero commission!

Was Boss Pei trying to protect me by not letting me do the publicity for the G1 cell phone?

He could forget about getting a commission this month if he did this publicity plan. If he did not do this publicity plan, he might be able to get a commission of 10,000 yuan if he could advertise the smart drying rack.

Meng Chang thought about it and realized that Boss Pei’s plan to stop him from making G1 cell phones was actually beneficial to him. That made him even more confused.

Thus, he had come with Boss Pei today to take a look at the ‘smart drying rack’ of Otto Technologies.

It seemed to be an indecent product from its name.

No matter how good Otto Technologies’ cell phone was, it was still a cell phone. There was still a chance of success. However, the “smart drying rack”? The chances of failure were very high!

Of course, Meng Chang did not dare to let his guard down. He had the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine as an example after all.

He had to look at the specific functions of the “smart drying rack” on the spot to make a judgment.

...

Soon, the two of them arrived at Otto Technologies. Chang You was already there to welcome them.

Jiang Yuan was in charge of the cell phone business and was busy with G1 cell phones. Chang You was in charge of all the smart products in Otto Technologies.
