Chapter 681 Make money!
Although the orcs shouted loudly and neatly, no one revealed the fact that they really couldn't afford it.

There may be 1 to [-] orcs who are a little richer and can afford to buy an i-crazy [-], but most of the orcs cannot have that ability.

……

the next day.

October 1th.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

The heart of the Magic City.

Two newly decorated mobile phone stores opened grandly.

One is called "Nokia Store" and the other is called "Love Crazy Store".

The two stores are not far apart, only about 50 meters away. The stores are more than 300 square meters and have 20 sales windows.

Early this morning, there were long queues in front of the entrances of the two specialty stores, full of crowded people.

The two teams are almost the same length, but the gap between the two is unobstructed.

The team in front of the Nokia store on the left is generally dressed plainly, with a popular and simple appearance; the team at the Aifeng store on the right is generally well-dressed, high-spirited and calm.

The average income of the team on the left is relatively low, and most of them are local aborigines. They can only choose the cheap Nokia 001.

The team on the right has high income and strong strength. Most of them are high-strength human mages, and they can afford to spend 1 contribution points.

The gap between the rich and the poor in the Magical City was revealed as a whole from the appearance of these two teams.

In fact, the so-called "poor people" do not exist in the city of magic. The benefits provided by the magic association are enough for every family to live a well-off life.

However, things like wealth and resources are always in the hands of a few people. No matter how fair the system is, the gap between rich and poor cannot be avoided.

Of course, Zhou Ming didn't want to pay attention to these. After the two mobile phone stores opened at the same time, the question he was most concerned about was how the sales of the two mobile phones were?
How many mobile phones are sold and how much money he makes are the things he is most concerned about now.

About four hours later.

All 5000 units of icrazy 1st generation mobile phones in the icrazy mobile phone store are sold out.

One was sold out.

"Why did it sell out so quickly?"

"I waited in line for half a day, and you told me it was sold out?"

"It will be half a month before the second batch of goods is in stock. Wait for half a month? Why do you want me to wait for half a month?"

"If I knew this, I should have gotten up earlier and came to line up."

The tens of thousands of customers who didn't grab it in the back were full of complaints and complaints, and some even changed their minds temporarily and entered the queue next to it, which was not very long to buy the Nokia Magic Mobile Phone.

Seeing this scene, standing on the top of a tall building not far away, Zhou Ming and others who were observing with binoculars were all smiling.

made money.

Make money!
I made a lot of money in the morning.

How much can Zhou Ming earn?

Take the first-generation mobile phone Aiku, which requires 1 contribution points as an example.

Although the price of this phone is astonishingly high, the actual cost is not as high as advertised.

Excluding labor costs, the actual cost of materials for a Magic Smartphone of the first generation of iCrazy is only about 1 Zijin coins.

After the production volume increased in the later period, after the initial research and development costs were diluted, the material cost of each Aifan 1 generation could even be reduced to less than 1200.

Zhou Ming sold one for 1 contribution points.

In the black market of Magic City, 1 contribution point can be exchanged for 8 to 10 purple gold coins.

That is to say, the profit margin of Ai Crazy 1 has reached an astonishing 4400% or more!

Considering the extremely high prices in the city of magic, if the production line of the first generation of love crazy is transferred outside, the profit margin can be even higher!
In short, it can be considered this way: Zhou Ming can make a net profit of 1 contribution points every time he sells a 9775st generation magic mobile phone!

Excluding the 4600 taken by the Magic Association.

800 taken by the engineers and workers.

For Zhou Ming personally, every time he sells a 1st generation of Love Crazy, he earns a net 4375 contribution points.

Multiply by 5000.

The total is 2187.5 million contribution points.

In just one morning, Zhou Ming earned more than 2000 million contribution points!

Of course, the production cost of Nokia mobile phones is not high. The total cost of each unit is about 10 contribution points, and the net profit is about 90 contribution points per unit.

This time, Zhou Ming and the others have prepared a total of 50 Nokia 001 mobile phones. Excluding the 10 discounts, they can bring in a net profit of about 4000 million contribution points.

Zhou Ming can probably get 1700 million contribution points.

The sum of the total profits of the two mobile phones, after repaying all the loans, finally went to Zhou Ming's pocket as a contribution point, which was about 3000 million.

After about two weeks.

All 50 Nokia Magic phones were sold out.

The second batch of 1 units of the first generation of Love Crazy was also sold out in stock, and it was sold out within a day.

Zhou Ming made a net profit of more than 2000 million contribution points.

His worth exceeded 5000 million at once.

If Magic City had a Forbes list, he would at least be in the top three.

In the magic city at this time, among the population of more than 100 million, almost every two people own a magic phone.

The magic phone market is gradually becoming saturated.

The heat of the mobile phone trend has gradually cooled down.

But around the magic phone, during this period of time, several major events that caused sensation and controversy took place in the city of magic.

It even caused the orc group in the city to hold a demonstration of more than 10 people.

The crime rate in the city has increased significantly. Theft, robbery, murder... In order to get a first-generation mobile phone, some people choose to take risks.

What's more, some people engaged in illegal occupations, sold their souls and bodies, and in order to get a first-generation mobile phone of iCrazy, and in order to accumulate enough contribution points of 1 points, some people lost their minds and became very crazy.

The most typical example is a young man named Sainbury, who found a legendary mage who also studied the Necromancer Department, and sold all his heart, liver, kidney, lung, brain and other organs to the other party for research, turning himself into a A magical puppet controlled by someone... This person's desire and love for "Love Crazy 1" has indeed reached a crazy level.

The Sainbori incident sparked heated discussions throughout the city, and the sudden protest march by the orc tribe even brought the magic phone to the forefront!
By the way, why did the orcs suddenly take to the streets to protest?

And there are more than [-] orcs.

Because the orcs also want to buy the first-generation magic phone of icrazy.

The orcs don't like the single-function Nokia, they also want to love the crazy 1st generation!
But... they really can't afford it.

In the entire city of magic, the orcs bought less than a hundred of the 1-plus units shipped in the first generation of Love Crazy.

Although the average IQ of orcs is mediocre, it doesn't mean they are fools.

They also love the powerful functions and the great convenience brought by the 1st generation of love crazy, and they also want to own one.

But they don't have enough contribution points, and many of them live on welfare.

But they just want to be crazy about love.

so what should I do now?
Make a fuss!

Crying children have candy to eat, how can we win the welfare that the association will give each of the orcs a generation of love madness if they don't make trouble?

This is also an old routine played by the orcs for millions of years. They will not resort to violence, but will resort to mass protests to force the Magic Association to surrender.

And in most cases, this trick can work and can win some benefits.

So on February 2th, a large number of orcs took to the streets, held up banners, and shouted various slogans in unison:

"We want to play Love Crazy 1 too!"

"Protest! We can't afford love madness, we want to protest!"

"You can't deprive us of the right to have Love Crazy 1."

"Please sir, send us a few love crazy!"

"Let's distribute one to each family, one to each family is enough!"

"We are the poor, but the poor cannot live without the first generation of love crazy."

"One family, one family! One family, one family!"

"Gentlemen please give us some love!"

"Orcs are people too, and they are also contributing to the city of magic!"

Among all kinds of righteous slogans and strange banners, the harmony and cleanliness of the entire magical city was broken by the protests of the orcs.

Zhou Ming saw all this scene.

Immediately surprised.

"What a straightforward request."

"What an 'honest and honest' orc...so it's just an appearance."

"Judging from their neat slogans, undisturbed steps and elaborate banners, they should be very proficient in playing these routines."

"No wonder many people use 'cunning big beasts' to describe these orcs."

And there are two places surrounded by orc parade groups.

One is the parliament building in the city center; the other is the icrazy mobile phone store... The goal is very clear.

As for the Nokia mobile phone store 50 meters away, there is no orc blocking it, and the operation of the surrounding shops is basically unaffected.

Zhou Ming sighed at this.

"Professional, very professional, can only be described as professional."

"There is a reason why the city of magic has stood for tens of thousands of years without chaos."

Then comes the negotiation, a two-part negotiation.

Representatives of the orcs negotiated with the high-level executives of the Magic Association, and the orcs hoped that the association would give them some mobile phones for free.

The representatives of the orcs negotiated with the person in charge of the icrazy mobile phone store. The orcs hoped that the price of the icrazy mobile phones would be lowered to a level that they could afford.

The high-level executives of the Magic Association sternly rejected the orc representative's request for free distribution, saying that they couldn't afford the 1st generation of Love Crazy, so they would sell the Nokia 001. The functions of the two are similar, and they can definitely afford the cheap Nokia 001. , don't mess around and make trouble for no reason!
Besides, with the high price of the iCrazy mobile phone, the association has no conditions to distribute it for free.

Regarding the price reduction request of the orc representative, under Zhou Ming's instruction, the person in charge of the specialty store said: the price can be reduced, and the price of the third batch of icrazy 1 mobile phones that will be launched in two weeks will be reduced to 9600 contribution points, and allow It is impossible to use purple gold coins to reduce it to a level that most orcs can afford.

The orc representatives were dissatisfied, and no consensus was reached on the first day of negotiations.

The orcs continued to protest the next day.

Not only that, but the number of protesters also increased from 10 on the first day to 15.

And after seeing the orcs protest, there are still about 8 humans and about 2 dwarves that day, because they couldn't afford the icrazy mobile phone, they stood in the same camp with the orcs and joined the protest camp.

The total number of protesters reached 25 at once.

Negotiations failed again the next day.

On the third day, the total number of protesters from the orcs, humans, and dwarves actually rose by another 10, reaching as many as 35!
Now the Magic Association finally couldn't sit still.

The old wolf found Zhou Ming himself, and said to him solemnly: "Boy, this is the trouble you caused, and you must solve it!"

"I will solve it?"

Zhou Ming pointed to his nose: "How can I solve it? By the way, why did I cause trouble? They make such a fuss, aren't you used to it?"

The old wolf waved his hand: "I don't care, you have to solve this trouble anyway! How could there be so many things without Ai Crazy Phone? Anyway, you have to get this done within two days, so I'm leaving..."

After speaking, he disappeared without a trace without waiting for Zhou Ming to refute.

I go!
