From the start of the product launch, and for almost an entire week, the popularity of Future Invasion One not only didn't decrease with time, but instead rose sharply as the shipping date approached.
On Sina Weibo's trending topics, celebrity illnesses, colds, and chance encounters for photos could no longer make it into the top ten... because the top ten were almost entirely occupied by Future Invasion One's sales points.
WeChat Moments and QQ Zone were also flooded with Future Invasion posts!
One day, someone showed off how easy to use its holographic suspended projection screen was.
The next day, someone showed off how humorous and fun its AI was.
Another day, someone showed how, while walking on a street in a foreign country, they suddenly took out a Future Invasion phone, attracting envious and amazed glances from foreigners.
Ever since the craze for Future Invasion began online, the entire nation hadn't stopped talking about it.
And as Future Invasion One was continuously exposed, people learned almost entirely about the phone's advantages.
As for its flaws?
Well, honestly, for a phone packed with so much black technology, if you really had to pick a flaw, there's only one: it's too good, too versatile, making you unable to put it down, truly unable to stop, wishing you could even sleep with it.
So much so that your body gets weaker day by day, and your liver declines day by day.
If you were to say that this phone's price of 8888 is too expensive to buy... I'm sorry, that's not the phone's flaw, it's your flaw.
...
At this moment, Su Yan was on his private jet, a holographic suspended window in front of him playing Douyin short videos.
Whenever he saw someone on Douyin showcasing a feature of the Future Invasion phone, or interacting with others using it, he would carefully read the comments, enjoying the adoration from countless Douyin netizens.
"Sir, just now, pre-sales have already broken 500 million!"
At this, Xiao Hei's voice came.
Su Yan, who seemed to have long anticipated this, smirked, put away his phone, and picked up a glass of red wine: "A pre-sale volume of 500 million, one billion more than estimated... I really have to thank those Huaxia streamers and celebrities!"
According to Su Yan's original budget, a week would yield at most 400 million, which would already be impressive... After all, the mobile phone market is limited.
This isn't a consumable that you use up today and throw away tomorrow. So, after an initial explosive increase, once the market saturates, the growth will gradually decline.
Who would have thought that due to its immense online influence, streamers, influencers, and celebrities would follow suit, directly creating an unprecedented craze on the Huaxia internet!
It was these free advertisements, with their Built-in traffic, that brought Su Yan an additional 100 million in sales.
500 million in pre-sales, with a profit of 3000 yuan per unit.
In just this one week, Su Yan had 1.5 trillion yuan in his account.
However, Su Yan chose to be relatively "low-key," not accepting Forbes' invitation to join the rich list, nor any interviews from news media...
Therefore, the outside world only knew that Su Yan made a lot of money from this wave, but no one knew exactly how much he earned!
If it were an ordinary company, even with so many orders, they might not have been able to produce enough goods!
Su Yan leisurely took a sip of red wine, saying,
"A pre-sale volume of 500 million means you need to manufacture 500 million phones for consumers in a short period."
Even Apple would be in a frenzy facing such a massive shipment volume.
But Su Yan was different.
At this very moment, in his villa, thousands of miniature factories were processing simultaneously.
All materials were also compressed and transported over, not occupying any extra space.
Massive amounts of nanomechanical particles, under Xiao Hei's multi-threaded control, acted as hundreds of thousands of employees, operating and producing 24 hours a day.
With this efficiency alone, Su Yan had already completely outclassed any factory in the world.
Naturally, a shipment volume of 500 million would be difficult for others, but for Su Yan, it was merely child's play.
At the same time, this was why the reporters and paparazzi frantically chasing Su Yan had scoured the entire Magic City but couldn't find Heavenly God Technology's location.
"Xiao Hei, are there any issues with the raw material suppliers?"
"If they want to seize this opportunity to raise prices, don't be polite with them, just replace them!"
Su Yan said indifferently.
"Sir, please rest assured. The new raw material suppliers are very honest, and those who weren't, ever since you collectively replaced the raw material suppliers a day ago, all their clients have ceased cooperation, and they are currently in a state of suspended operation and rest!"
Xiao Hei said.
To manufacture phones, phone parts cannot be created out of thin air; they require raw material suppliers.
The original raw material suppliers, upon seeing the enormous pre-sale volume on Heavenly God Technology's official website, were shocked, and at the same time, they harbored thoughts of raising prices, decisively choosing to double the price of subsequent raw materials.
According to them, "You've earned so much money, eaten so much meat, shouldn't you give us brothers a little soup to drink?"
They stated that if Heavenly God Technology didn't pay according to the increased material prices, they would directly halt the supply of raw materials to Heavenly God Technology, causing Heavenly God Technology to miss the shipping deadline, thus leading to a credibility crisis, essentially trying to extort Su Yan.
What else could this be but courting death?
Su Yan didn't waste another word; he immediately chose to terminate the contracts, and in less than ten minutes, he replaced all the raw material suppliers!
In fact, as soon as these new suppliers heard that Su Yan was willing to do business with them, they were all extremely excited, decisively choosing to lower prices by 10% and offer a portion of the profits as a gesture of sincerity for cooperating with Heavenly God Technology!
Upon hearing this, the original raw material suppliers were dumbfounded, one by one panicking to death, wanting to come back to apologize and beg for mercy, but they were directly rejected by Su Yan, who couldn't even be bothered to see them.
This is why Su Yan was on his private jet; these past few days, he had been touring and playing around various places across Huaxia, spending lavishly. Unfortunately, even though Su Yan had spent quite a lot, it was only a few hundred million yuan, and even within that, 100 million was used to purchase a private island abroad.
This made Su Yan sigh involuntarily, "It's really hard to spend money!"
As for those original raw material suppliers, the news of their price gouging "spread like wildfire," especially after being publicly blacklisted by Heavenly God Technology.
All their clients immediately chose to terminate their contracts, and no matter how much they pleaded, no one was willing to cooperate with them.
In just a few days, they were completely finished.
