#256 - Inventory shortage
Despite having predicted a large crowd, Yang Chaoye still found it to be more than expected.
And this was only Friday, with many people unable to come due to work or school.
Tomorrow would be the weekend, and the crowds then were simply unimaginable!
The small space of just over two hundred square meters would definitely be packed if fully opened, offering no real experience.
Therefore, they could only allow a limited number of people in at a time, letting in the same number as those who left.
Some people got tired of waiting in line and had to leave midway, showing just how large the customer flow was.
Seeing this situation, Yang Chaoye could only sigh that there were too few experience stores.
If there were dozens of Oracle brand experience stores in New York City, this situation wouldn't have occurred.
After entertaining the guests, Yang Chaoye returned to the experience store and stayed there all day, observing the specific situation.
He had high expectations for this experience store model.
If it succeeded, not only would Oracle Computer benefit, but also other subsidiaries under the Su Group and Hutchison Whampoa Group.
One prospers, all prosper!
Every hour, he would check how many Oracle Computers had been pre-ordered and how many other appliances had been sold.
With only five machines in one experience store and so many customers, many people definitely couldn't try them out.
Even if each customer could only try it for ten minutes, it wouldn't satisfy everyone who entered the store.
So, those who couldn't try it out could either watch others play from a close distance or browse the other products in the experience store.
This turned out to be quite something, as they discovered that the variety of home appliances here was too complete, and the appearance was very fashionable.
Most importantly, many of them were branded with Oracle, and another was the Hutchison brand.
Although they hadn't heard of this brand, being in the Oracle experience store suggested that the quality wouldn't be too bad.
Moreover, they also offered warranties!
For non-human damage, the store offered free warranty within one year;
Within two years, a 50% maintenance fee;
Within three years, an 80% maintenance fee!
This model was difficult for other brands of appliances to achieve!
At noon, Yang Chaoye directly asked the store staff to order fast food for all the employees in the store.
It was so busy that they could only take turns eating.
Watching the products in the store continuously decrease and the goods in the small warehouse continuously replenished, Yang Chaoye revealed a satisfied smile.
The added value of Oracle Computer was finally taking effect.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, just as Yang Chaoye was resting in the repair room, the store manager, a Chinese-American woman in her thirties, walked in.
The Chinese-American woman, named Zhuo Ling, was eloquent and very good at communication, more than capable of being the manager of a store.
"Mr. Yang, the inventory of several products in the small warehouse has been cleared, and the inventory is running low.
At this rate, we will have to replenish a lot of goods tonight!" Zhuo Ling said with a smile.
"That's really good news. How many Oracle Computers have been pre-ordered?" Yang Chaoye wasn't too surprised after hearing this.
With such a large flow of people, it was very normal for products to sell out.
The most important thing was the future evaluation of these products by these customers.
Breaking through 2000 units today should be no problem!" Zhuo Ling reported.
Yang Chaoye nodded in satisfaction.
Don't think 1565 units doesn't seem like much.
This was the result of traffic restrictions.
The store was only so big, and its capacity to receive customers was limited.
It was impossible to let in thousands of people at once, so there were still many potential customers who would become Oracle Computer users in the future.
Moreover, just this pre-order volume of 1565 units created more than two million three hundred thousand dollars for Oracle Computer!
Note that this is US dollars, not Hong Kong dollars!
Converted into Hong Kong dollars, it directly breaks ten million.
This was only a 50% deposit.
Converted into the full amount, that would be twenty million Hong Kong dollars!
Moreover, it was still early today.
When off work, without any accidents, today's pre-order volume would reach more than two thousand units, which was completely no problem.
And this was only one of the ten experience stores, and there were still nine other stores.
Sure enough, when an epoch-making product appears, making money is really very simple!
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Su Cheng didn't say goodbye to Yang Chaoye in person, but directly took Zhang Qizheng and others and left the hotel, heading straight to John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Their plane would take off at six o'clock in the evening, and this time was also close to the peak of off-work hours, so it was very necessary to leave early, otherwise there was a great risk of missing the plane.
At six o'clock in the evening, a plane slowly drove onto the runway, then accelerated, and finally rushed into the sky, leaving John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Su Cheng sat in the comfortable first-class cabin, looking at the gradually shrinking outline of New York City below through the glass window.
Su Cheng was very satisfied with this trip to New York.
Not only did he earn more than two hundred million US dollars, but he also became a major shareholder of Intel and Nami Entertainment.
Night gradually fell, and he asked the flight attendant for a blanket, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
From New York to San Francisco, it takes about six hours of flight time.
After waking up from a nap, it would be almost there.
At 9:15 PM Pacific Coast time, a Boeing 747 slowly circled over San Francisco International Airport.
After receiving the landing information from the tower, it accurately landed on the runway and finally stopped at a parking space.
This was exactly the flight that Su Cheng was on.
The reason why it was only 9:00 PM now was because New York time was 3 hours ahead of San Francisco time.
When Su Cheng walked out of the airport exit, he saw a sign with Su Cheng's two big Chinese characters on it, and knew that this was to pick him up.
When coming to San Francisco, Su Cheng had already asked the person in charge of Hutchison Whampoa Group's US branch in California to arrange everything properly for him.
Therefore, after he came over, he didn't have to worry about renting a car and a hotel.
"Boss, I am Nick Tyron, the person in charge of Hutchison Whampoa's California office." Nick Tyron greeted Su Cheng with a standard Hong Kong accent and a smile on his face.
"Oh, I didn't expect your Hong Kong accent to be so standard," Su Cheng said with some surprise.
The Nick Tyron in front of him was obviously a foreigner.
"I was originally from Australia.
I studied in Hong Kong for four years in university, and then worked in Hong Kong for eight years.
I am considered a Hong Kong expert.
I was only sent to San Francisco last year to be the person in charge of the office here," Nick Tyron explained with a smile.
"I see!" Su Cheng understood.
"Boss, I have rented three Jeeps in the name of the company.
The hotel is booked near the Golden Gate Bridge.
Let's go back to the hotel first.
It's very late now, and it's not safe too late," Nick Tyron said.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work," Su Cheng nodded.
