Chapter 6099 Hunger Marketing
As expected, leaving the Wantong Chamber of Commerce and following Lin Yi was the right choice!
"First of all, I'd like to say that the automatic alchemy furnace is a product that our heavenly elixir Pavilion developed on our own. There will be enough supply in the future, so there's no need for everyone to fight over it! It's only a matter of buying it one day earlier or one day later!" Shang Wanyi collected his thoughts and gave everyone a calming pill to prevent a vicious incident of fighting for the automatic alchemy furnace.
There was a slight commotion in the crowd, but it immediately quieted down and did not affect Shang Wanyi's speech.
Even though the heavenly elixir Chamber of Commerce promised to supply them with automatic elixir furnaces, everyone wanted to buy them first!
Everything was meaningless if he didn't get it. Only when he got it was real! What if something unexpected happened and the heavenly elixir Chamber of Commerce was unable to supply on time? Therefore, he still had to snatch. Being polite to others was being cruel to himself.
"What we're selling today are the first batch of twenty automatic pill furnaces that we've produced! Two of them had already been sold, so there were only 18 left. In other words, only 18 of the friends here today could buy them. Those who couldn't can only wait for the second batch! I would like to apologize to everyone here. I'm really sorry, because the production is only this large. After the technological innovation, there may be a substantial increase. " Shang Wanyi's face was full of regret, but he was actually laughing like a peach blossom in his heart. Unfortunately, he could not show it and could only secretly celebrate.
The first batch of alchemy furnaces that Han Jing Jing had sent over was indeed only 20. At first, Shang Wanyi felt that it was too little, but later on, he felt that these 20 alchemy furnaces might cause a greater rush than directly putting in 200 alchemy furnaces.
It was because it was rare that it was more precious! Even if they couldn't buy it in a short time, it didn't matter if they had to wait in line! Shang Wanyi had never heard of hunger marketing, but what he was doing now was the essence of hunger marketing.
"In terms of price, we will firmly maintain the original price and will definitely not increase the price! Also, we must make it clear that the automatic pill furnaces we sell will record the buyer's information. For the next 30 days, no reselling is allowed. During these 30 days, only the buyer can use them! If you want to resell it, you have to wait for 30 days. At that time, the restriction will be lifted and anyone can use it. " Shang Wanyi was truly impressed by han Jingjing's talent. She could even take such a small detail into consideration. This way, it would completely prevent people from bidding up the price to buy the items.
The 30-day restriction wasn't a hindrance to those who actually bought it for use, but it was a disaster for those who wanted to resell it for profit.
Since the heavenly elixir Chamber of Commerce had automatic elixir furnaces for sale every day, who would wait 30 days to buy one from you? At most, he would have to wait for two more days.
"Finally, our automatic alchemy furnace will need to be replaced with internal consumable components after being used for a period of time. The cost is not high, and buyers with registered information can enjoy a free replacement opportunity. Unregistered customers who bought it from others will not have a free opportunity and will have to pay the cost themselves. Shang Wanyi had spared no effort in cracking down on scalpers. With such a measure in place, those who wanted to sell would probably consider it carefully.
After all, there were restrictions on the reselling of elixirs on Sky Class Island, but not for furnaces. No matter how powerful Lin Yi's background was, he couldn't just have the AO Tian state set a rule for him.
"Guild leader Shang, that's not important. I just want to know how we're going to sell the eighteen automatic pill furnaces today. Don't tell me you're saying that we can buy the ones that are in the front?" A cultivator who was closer to the middle asked loudly. His position was about the 20th place. The rounds had started from the front, and it just so happened that it was not his turn today.
"Of course the first to buy it, first come, first served, it's only right! If you want it, please come early tomorrow!" The two cultivators in front of him shouted. According to the order, he could buy it today, so he had to firmly support this method. Otherwise, wouldn't this advantage be wasted?
However, the majority of the people were at the back. If they were to follow the order, who knew when it would be their turn? For a moment, the people behind him began to clamor, trying to fight for a chance for themselves.
Shang Wanyi raised his hands and gestured for the crowd to quieten down. He then smiled and said,""The friends who are ranked at the front have some advantages, but the friends at the back can't be at a disadvantage either, so we thought of a solution. It can't be said to be perfect, but it can take care of most of our friends."
"What is it? President Shang, just say it, I've been waiting for you!" Someone shouted from below, and a large number of people actually agreed. Only the first 18 were very dissatisfied, but there were too many people behind them, so it was useless no matter how dissatisfied they were.
"It's very simple. We'll draw lots to decide who will be able to purchase the slots today. Whether you'll be able to purchase it or not will depend on your luck. Of course, the higher the front of the queue, the higher the chances of you getting it. As for the specific method, please look at the rules and explanations over here!" Shang Wanyi stood slightly to the side. Two of the heavenly pill Pavilion's shop assistants immediately unrolled a large cotton cloth and flattened it.
Someone with sharp eyes and a quick mouth had already read the rules out loud, " " In the first round of drawing lots, the first three will draw first. The first three will get one out of the three, and the two who don't get it will proceed to the second round. In the second round, the fourth, fifth, and sixth will draw together with the two who didn't get it in the first round. The first five will get one out of the five, and the four who didn't get it in the first round will proceed to the third round and draw together with the seventh, eighth, and ninth. The seventh will get one out of the five, and so on. In every round, two more people will be drawn, and the probability of winning will decrease. However, each person only has three chances to draw. If they exceed three times, they will have to come back tomorrow. "
This method was very simple, and it was indeed relatively fair. The higher the ranking, the higher the chance of getting it. No matter how unlucky the top three were, they could still get three chances to get one, one chance to get one, one chance to get one, one chance to get one, one chance to get one, and one chance to get one chance to get one. It was much better than getting one chance to get one chance from thirty-three, one chance to get one chance from thirty-five, and one chance to get one chance from thirty-seven. If they still couldn't get it, they could only say that their luck was too bad. They couldn't blame anyone else. It was better for them to go home and wash their hands, and try again tomorrow.
