Outside the black technology

Chapter 56
The video's slogan ended, and a line of information popped up on the screen: "Visual Magic Mirror is limited to 5000 copies, and it is in hot pre-order. Please scan the QR code to pre-order!"

Sure enough, it was an advertising video. Zhang Zitao immediately took out his mobile phone, scanned the QR code in the video, and the pre-order website of Tianwai Technology Company popped up.

The pre-order was already open, Zhang Zitao quickly clicked on the website, and it said "Estimated release date is October XX!"

The specific date is blocked with a patch-like icon, but even if it is October 10st, it will be one month away from the end of September now. Zhang Zitao wondered, has the glasses been developed?

Below the release date, there is a counter for the number of remaining units. Zhang Zitao looked at the time when the video was uploaded, which was twelve o'clock in the morning last night. He opened his browser, and the video was already searchable on several major video sites.

There are still more than 5000 units left in the pre-order quota of 4000 units, and 1000 people have already pre-ordered the product "Vision Magic Mirror", which surprised Zhang Zitao. An unknown small website can have 1000 people spend money Pre-order, what the hell is this company doing.

You must know that the coarse grain mobile phone in those years showed that the system of coarse grain flashing had accumulated many diehard users, and then spent a lot of advertising fees. When the first mobile phone was pre-ordered, only 1 people ordered it. The first generation The quality and price-performance ratio of coarse grain mobile phones are really good, and they seized the market with advanced Internet marketing concepts, which will lead to prosperity in the future.

However, Tianwai Technology Company is not well-known. In the turbulent Internet market in China, its publicity can only be described as simple. Such a company has opened pre-orders for 12 hours, and more than 1000 people have already ordered. Describe it as a miracle.

It can be said that high-tech enthusiasts earn a lot of money. Some mobile phones have not yet been released. As long as they hype some high-tech, new interface and new system, there will be a lot of consumers paying for it, and even asking them to wait for a month is not enough. willingly.

But the money of high-tech enthusiasts can also be said to be difficult to earn. If you make a software, it will soon be submerged in the vast crowd. There are too many Internet products. In the early years, if you make a good product, you can eat it all over the world. The good old days are over. Even if an epoch-making product like the Apple mobile phone is developed, it will definitely lose money without publicity and promotion.

Zhang Zitao is the one who is attracted by promotional videos. He gritted his teeth. Although there are enough fake promotional videos in China, the creativity of Visual Mirror really attracted Zhang Zitao. People, Zhang Zitao is also willing to spend money, just think of it as supporting the creativity of the video producer.

He clicked on the pre-order interface. According to Zhang Zitao's imagination, this product would cost at least 1 yuan.

The Google AR glasses he experienced back then were snapped up by his friends from a distant American website. The price of that Google Glass was [-] yuan. It was still a semi-finished product with very rough functions and extremely poor experience. .

Even if domestic electronic products are always cheap, Zhang Zitao feels that the price will not be lower than five figures.But Zhang Zitao didn't care. After the company's rounds of financing, his net worth has reached seven figures. As a single dog, he still has the spending power to spend five figures on a pair of high-tech glasses.

Zhang Zitao entered the purchase interface, and saw the price of the Visual Magic Mirror in the most eye-catching position - "999.99 yuan".

what!Zhang Zitao rubbed his glasses. 999.99 yuan was less than four digits. He confirmed it again, and two of his subordinates also helped him lose the number. Only then did he confirm that the glasses really only cost 999.99 yuan.

Zhang Zitao's expression was weird, and the hand that was about to pay stopped. People are so weird. If the price of the visual magic mirror is 10000 yuan, Zhang Zitao is ready to take it. For tech geeks, there are too many failed electronic products. , Zhang Zitao spends more than five figures every year, and the Google glasses back then were too rubbish, otherwise he would have spent money to buy one.

The price of the visual magic mirror is 999.99 yuan, which makes Zhang Zitao hesitate a bit. He is willing to support the development of high-tech enterprises, and is willing to act as a guinea pig and a fundraiser for advanced technology, but it does not mean that he is being taken advantage of!
A better pair of glasses would cost hundreds of dollars, but the visual magic mirror with such a function only costs 999.99 yuan. Does this company think that consumers are idiots or that they themselves are idiots.

Zhang Zitao hesitated, but his two subordinates were ecstatic. They immediately took out their mobile phones, scanned the QR code on the interface, placed an order and paid immediately, and grabbed two pre-order places.

The two are college students who have just joined the job, and their salary last month was just enough to pay the rent, water and electricity bills. The 999.99 yuan was saved by the two of them.

If the visual magic mirror has a five-digit price, even if it is the mainstream VR glasses on the market, the four-digit number can only be watched, but the price of 999.99 yuan really impresses them, even if it reaches half of the promotional video It is considered a good high-tech toy, and it is definitely worth it!

Seeing that two of his subordinates had already placed orders, Zhang Zitao reacted, and he paid immediately, "Since when did I become so concerned about gains and losses, 999.99 yuan is considered to support this creative video!" Zhang Zitao secretly said.

After the payment was completed, Zhang Zitao remembered that the company's famous 'manager', the human resources manager, was standing behind him. In front of the human resources manager, Zhang Zitao had pre-ordered an electronic product online, and it was over. The target of criticism at next week's morning meeting must be myself.

Zhang Zitao was about to turn around to beg for mercy, when the human resources manager's sinister voice came: "Manager Zhang, please give me your head."

"Huh?" Zhang Zitao turned his head sideways in doubt, and this unsmiling "Factory Owner" actually held his mobile phone and scanned the pre-order QR code on the interface.

Papapapa, the factory owner completed the payment neatly. He patted Zhang Zitao on the shoulder and said, "Manager Zhang, please approve this video."

The factory owner's voice was indescribably kind, making Zhang Zitao tremble all over. The factory owner blew a little tune and left Zhang Zitao's seat, and walked to his office in a happy mood, not even doing the morning routine inspection.

When the human resources manager returned to his office, Zhang Zitao was surrounded by gossiping colleagues, and he watched the promotional video of Tianwai Technology Company again. Everyone took out their mobile phones, and the number of pre-orders was suddenly reduced by 50. The employees are still showing Amway to their friends and colleagues. Looking at the pre-order counter jumping faster and faster, Jian Xin, who has been staring at the numbers, shows a satisfied smile. Now he can do a big job!
