Chapter 405: Fighting the Scalpers

"In the past few days, Ruida Electronics Factory has rushed to produce a batch of Ruida third-generation mobile phones. Our Ruida Network Company has received 127 million units in stock. We have sold 92 units now, and there are about 35 units left. According to the current sales speed, we can probably hold on for another to minutes. Mr. Qiao, and colleagues, let's go to the rest area next door and sit for a while." As the person in charge of Ruida Network Company, Liu Jiayu knew the inventory situation of Ruida mobile phones very well. He immediately explained the sales situation and invited everyone to sit in the rest area.

"Okay, everyone go to the lounge area, drink some tea, and chat. When these phones and tablets are sold out, we'll go have a drink to celebrate."

Led by Qiao Ruida, the group sat down on the sofa in the lounge area next to them. The lounge area was in a corner of the public office area. Sitting here, they could still see the sales information on the LCD TV. Liu Jiayu waved to two staff members and whispered a few words. Soon, several pots of fragrant tea were brought up. Everyone washed the cups and distributed the tea by themselves, and their movements were very skillful. Coffee and tea are two essential drinks in modern offices. Qiao Ruida couldn't get used to the bitter taste of coffee, so tea became his only drink. Whether entertaining guests or quenching his thirst, he always drank tea. As the saying goes, if the superior likes something, the subordinates will like it even more. Qiao Ruida's preference directly or indirectly affected a large number of company employees, and many company executives liked drinking tea. In all Ruida companies, drinking tea has become a trend, and various types of tea have become standing office supplies.

The sales speed of several new products of Ruida Technology was even faster than Liu Jiayu expected. After only thirteen minutes, the last Ruida third-generation mobile phone was sold out, and the entire 127 million units in stock were sold out. Ruida second-generation tablets sold slower and were not sold out until half an hour later. Xingyao mobile phones had the smallest inventory, but they sold the slowest. It took an hour and a half to sell them all out. When the last Xingyao mobile phone was sold, someone in the office area was the first to applaud, and then a hundred people responded, and cheers and applause soon became a chorus. The movement in the data monitoring center soon alarmed the office staff on other floors, and they sent people to check the situation. Then the news that Ruida Technology's three new products were hot and sold out in two hours quickly spread, and cheers and applause resounded throughout the Ruida Network Building, and even spread to the Ruida Group headquarters building next door.

Influenced by the environment, Qiao Ruida also clapped twice, then called Liu Jiayu, Zhao Hongcai and other company executives, left the Ruida Network Building, and drove to a nearby hotel for a banquet and celebration.

The next day, the third-generation Reda mobile phone, the Xingyao mobile phone, the second-generation Reda tablet computer, and many other new products were put on sale in offline stores of Reda Home across the country. They were also sought after by consumers and sold well. There was a queue for buying. The original millions of units were sold out in just two days. Fortunately, the production line of Reda Electronics Factory was fully opened, and hundreds of thousands of workers were working overtime. Every day, 100,000 third-generation Reda mobile phones and 20,000 to 30,000 second-generation Reda tablet computers were produced, and physical stores were given priority, which ensured that Reda Home had goods to sell every day. Only the Xingyao mobile phone was limited by the insufficient supply of several core components, and the production could not be increased. After the first batch of Xingyao mobile phones were sold out, the second batch did not appear on the counter of Reda Home until half a month later. The number was still very limited, only more than 50,000 units, and it took only half a day to be sold out.

Perhaps it was the continued shortage of Xingyao mobile phones that made a group of professional scalpers smell a business opportunity, and they hired people to go to offline stores and queue up to buy in bulk. Then they took it to some second-hand platforms or electronic product forums and sold it at a higher price. For each Xingyao mobile phone, they could make a net profit of one to three thousand yuan. Among them, the premium of the top-end Xingyao mobile phone was the most exaggerated. The original 7999 mobile phone was once sold at a high price of 15000. It was still difficult to buy it, and it became an out-and-out electronic Moutai. In order to crack down on scalpers, Ruida Home quickly adopted measures such as real-name purchase and purchase restrictions. Ruida Mall also imposed purchase restrictions on the Xingyao mobile phone, limiting each person to purchase one per month. However, the devil is always stronger than the saint, and the scalpers also updated their grabbing strategies in time. They went to the countryside and obtained a large amount of real ID information in the name of free eggs and free cabbage. They registered a large number of accounts in Ruida Mall, and then used illegal software such as grabbing plug-ins and key wizards to grab purchases. As for offline, these scalpers simply blocked the door of Reda House and added money to receive the goods. As long as you can buy a Xingyao mobile phone and it has not been activated, you can walk out of Reda House and sell it to scalpers, and you can make a difference of 500 to 80 yuan. Many customers can't resist the temptation of money and sell their newly bought mobile phones to them. Little do they know that these profiteers can make several times more profit than them by reselling their mobile phones in the second-hand market. Through these means, scalpers once took away more than % of the shipments of Xingyao mobile phones, and after reselling them, the profits they made were even more than Reda Technology.

When this information was fed back to Qiao Ruida, he just smiled meaningfully and muttered to himself: "You scalpers, why don't you resell anything else? Why do you have to set your sights on my Xingyao mobile phone? If I don't make you shed a layer of skin, wouldn't it be unworthy of my name as a time traveler."

That night, Qiao Ruida activated the cheat code and copied a large number of parts that were difficult to produce or had a higher price overnight, and then shipped them to Decheng City overnight and handed them over to Ruida Electronics Factory. This batch of parts was quite large in number, enough for Ruida Electronics Factory to produce millions of Xingyao mobile phones. In the next week, Xingyao mobile phones began to be released in batches, whether it was the online Ruida Mall or the offline Ruida House, all supplies were open, and all purchase restrictions were lifted. In the first two days, the scalpers did not react, waving their money and hoarding a large number of Xingyao mobile phones, thinking that if the goods were stocked up, they could sell them at a higher price as long as Ruida Technology sold out the spot goods, and they must make a lot of money. Who would have thought that in the next few days, Xingyao mobile phones were always sold in Ruida House and Ruida Mall, and the shipments were getting bigger and bigger. The scalpers realized that the situation was not good. Ruida Technology seemed to have solved the problem of insufficient production capacity of Xingyao mobile phones. In order to recover funds as soon as possible, they did not care about making a profit and sold them at the original price. You can buy Xingyao mobile phones through regular channels and enjoy the three guarantees service. Who would spend the same money to buy a second-hand product without any after-sales guarantee? There is no choice but to bear the pain and reduce the price to sell the goods. Each mobile phone is sold at a price ranging from 500 to yuan lower than the original price. In this way, the scalpers have lost a lot of money. Not only did they lose the money they earned before, but they also lost a lot of money on the cost of stockpiling. Some people who were too greedy and borrowed money or took out loans to stock up lost their fortunes. Since then, Xingyao mobile phones and Ruida Technology have become taboo words in the eyes of scalpers, and no one dares to take advantage of them anymore.

Along with the scalpers, there is also a group of people engaged in purchasing agents. Most of the purchasing agents are international students or people who have studied abroad. They are proficient in the local language, very familiar with the foreign environment, and have a certain business sense. They are good at discovering the price difference between the same products at home and abroad. In the past, these purchasing agents would sell some foreign products to China, such as high-end digital cameras, various brand cosmetics, famous brand watches and bags, etc. As long as they can be brought to China, they can earn at least 20% profit. However, as more people engage in purchasing agents, the profit is also decreasing. In the past two years, some people have also engaged in reverse purchasing, that is, bringing some domestic fine goods to foreign countries for sale, such as bringing rice to the country of kimchi to sell, and earning several times the price difference. Recently, these people have set their purchasing targets on the third-generation Reda mobile phone and Xingyao mobile phone, often buying more than a dozen mobile phones in bulk, and flying to Europe and the United States to sell them. They have reasons for doing so. First, after two years of overseas expansion, Reda Mobile has gained a certain degree of popularity in Europe and the United States, especially the recently released Xingyao mobile phone, which has a delicate appearance and powerful performance, leaving Apple's four-star mobile phone products far behind, and is especially popular among foreign electronic product enthusiasts. Secondly, Reda's third-generation mobile phone and Xingyao mobile phone have just been launched on the market, and their production capacity is still insufficient to meet domestic demand. They have not yet been distributed and sold in foreign markets, which leaves room for purchasing agents to operate. They bring mobile phones to Europe and the United States to sell, and can make a profit of one thousand to three thousand yuan per phone. Moreover, mobile phones are small in size and light in weight, and easy to carry, which is much easier than dealing with crops such as rice.

Ruida Technology did not deliberately suppress these purchasing agents, nor did it encourage them. It just let them do whatever they wanted. After all, they spent real money to purchase mobile phone products, and Ruida Technology made all the money it deserved. With the continuous explosion of production capacity, the domestic mobile phone market will eventually be saturated. By then, it will open up foreign markets and sell Ruida's third-generation mobile phones and Xingyao mobile phones all over the world, and these purchasing agents will have no room to survive.

Two flowers bloom, each with its own beauty. While the new products of Ruida Technology were selling well, Qiao Ruida's attention had already shifted to Ruida Aerospace. He first activated the golden finger and copied a large number of high-precision machining equipment, and provided them to the production base in YQ District, so that Ruida Aerospace had the initial production capacity of carrier rockets. Then he used the weekend holiday time to personally participate in the employee recruitment work of Ruida Aerospace.

On Saturday, Qiao Ruida gave a keynote speech titled "China's Future Space in the Next 20 Years" in the auditorium of Beihang University. In this speech, Qiao Ruida boldly predicted China's space station construction plan, manned lunar landing plan, deep space exploration plan, and the rapid rise of private aerospace companies in the next 20 years. These predictions are well-founded, true and reasonable, and have been unanimously recognized by teachers and students of Beihang University. Of course, Qiao Ruida's speech is not entirely a prediction of the future space process, but also has some practical content. For example, during his speech, he interspersed a lot of high-end technologies in the aerospace field, such as recyclable rockets, space planes, methane fuel, detonation engines, etc. The most incredible thing is that Qiao Ruida not only explained the working principles of these high-end technologies, but also described many implementation details, as if he had mastered all of these high-end technologies. Although it is impossible to verify whether the technical details Qiao Ruida said are true, it at least proves that he is also an expert in the field of aerospace, and his professional knowledge is absolutely solid, not just a layman as the teachers and students of Beihang University initially thought.

After a two-hour speech, teachers and students of Beihang University had a preliminary understanding of Qiao Ruida and Ruida Aerospace, a newly established private aerospace company. They knew that Qiao Ruida's creation of an aerospace company was by no means a hobby, or some ambiguous projects to cheat subsidies, but to take root in the aerospace field, invest huge amounts of money and manpower and material resources, and produce some tangible results to realize his aerospace dream. Influenced by this, the Ruida Aerospace special job fair in the afternoon was held very smoothly. Hundreds of Beihang graduates submitted their resumes, including some who were both excellent in character and academic performance and received offers from state-owned aerospace companies or research institutes. Even some high-end talents with master's or doctoral degrees also submitted their resumes and participated in subsequent interviews, which made Qiao Ruida and Cao Yifei, who hosted the job fair, very happy.

After strict screening, Ruida Aerospace Company recruited a total of 213 students from Beihang University, including 12 masters, 35 doctors, and 166 undergraduates, basically catching all the elite talents graduating from Beihang University this year. The success of this job fair is due to Qiao Ruida's good painting of a bright future for these future employees, and on the other hand, the salary offered by Ruida Aerospace is indeed high enough. In 13, Ruida Aerospace is the only company in China that can offer undergraduate graduates a super high salary of yuan per month during the probation period and at least yuan per month after becoming a regular employee. In China, those who engage in aerospace, despite all the high-end and impressive things, actually do not get very high salaries, especially those grassroots employees of state-owned aerospace companies or scientific research institutes. When they just started working, they would get a salary of two or three thousand yuan per month. Fortunately, it is a state-owned unit with good welfare benefits. Generally, companies will also provide dormitories and three meals a day, so they will not be unable to support themselves. Now suddenly there is a company called Ruida Aerospace, which offers a monthly salary of yuan during the internship period, and the welfare benefits are also not bad. It is easy to imagine what choice those students will make. (End of this chapter)
