On September 11th, the pre-sales of Kindle on Amazon did not exceed 20,000, which means China Land’s ambitious work may fail.
On September 12, Kindle sales suffered a setback, and the excess failed works were destined to end up half on instant noodles and half on the toilet seat.
On September 13th, five days after the Kindle was launched, pre-sales had only exceeded 50,000 units. The 8 major sales were destined to fail, and Logic would suffer a big setback on the tablet.
On September 14, Kindle sales skyrocketed. This was due to the popularity of "I Am the Archmage", which caused strong opposition and boycotts in many places.
On September 15th, the "blasphemous artifact" Kindle was launched in Boston, and 20,000 units were sold out!
On September 16, Kindle, the new century's revolutionary tablet, arrived in Washington, the capital of humanity, and the capital "fell."
On September 17, the last time humans were so excited about a tablet was because it had the Ten Commandments written on it. Kindle created a miracle in the United States!
…
Over the past week, media outlets like the Wall Street Journal have repeatedly badmouthed Kindle, waiting to see the logic of the joke. However, the reversal came too quickly, like a tornado, and was severely slapped in the face by the continued rise in sales. .
Critics in the IT circle immediately changed their faces and praised it.
"Pfft."
Li Fuzhen drank coffee and read the news about Kindle in the newspaper. The smile at the corner of his mouth became longer and longer.
"Unnie, unnie!"
Li Yinxin held the kindle in her hand and hurriedly ran into the room, displaying the article displayed on the ink screen in front of her eyes. The title read——
"An epoch-making product is born!" Logic ranks among the top ten most creative companies in the world, the first time a Chinese company has entered the list.
Li Fuzhen rolled his eyes, "Yin Xin, how many times have I told you that people from the Samsung family can only..."
"You can only use Samsung products, I know, I know, but we don't have Kindle."
Li Yinxin couldn't help but be excited, "Lu Fei and Oppa are really awesome. A few days ago, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to sell them. Unnie, I didn't expect them all to be sold out so quickly. I bought this one at a higher price." Woolen cloth!"
"Yeah, unexpected, so unexpected..."
Li Fuzhen couldn't help but sigh that Mr. Lu really understood the conditions of the United States. Books in America were too expensive!
Especially during college, a semester costs at least several hundred dollars, and even second-hand shopping is not cheap.
Kindle only costs $399, which is only half the cost of books for half a semester, and it is positioned as a learning machine. It is only used for e-books and listening to music, directly eliminating the temptation of games. Unlike iPad, it is productivity before buying and iQiyi after buying.
Middle-class families are naturally willing to pay for education, whether for adults or children.
"Unnie, now, can I, can we go see Lu Fei and Oppa?"
Li Yinxin pursed her lips, her eyes full of anticipation.
"I'll give him a call."
Li Fuzhen picked up the receiver of the landline phone.
After dialing the number, Li Yinxin couldn't wait to get closer, pricking up her ears and eavesdropping.
When she heard that Lu Fei was coming to the hotel in person, she said "Yeah" and hurriedly ran out of the house:
"Unnie, I'm going to change some clothes!"
"well."
Li Fuzhen looked at his little sister's disappearing back and sighed quietly, "A Fei, you must minimize the damage..."
"Nuna, things are unpredictable, I can only try my best."
Lu Fei hung up the phone, leaned down and got into the car.
Zhang Tianmei, who was accompanying him and also sat in the passenger seat, continued to report that the popularity of Kindle was far beyond the expectations of Amazon, Wal-Mart, etc., the inventory had been exhausted, and notifications for replenishment were frequently sent.
Taking into account the number of pre-orders and those already sold, it is estimated that more than 300,000 units will be sold in the first month.
"anything else?"
Lu Fei leaned on the armchair and closed his eyes to rest.
Zhang Tianmei said: "Mr. Guo and Mr. Sun both called. The production capacity cannot keep up at the moment. Can you allocate some preparations to domestic companies?"
"Adjust, adjust boldly, and prioritize overseas needs."
Lu Fei nodded. There were two different worlds at home and abroad.
Kindle depends on the Internet. The domestic 3G license was not issued until 2008, and the wifi was even later. The infrastructure environment is not enough to survive and develop.
It is better to concentrate resources overseas, from upstream such as reading content to downstream such as hardware production, and slowly create a closed-loop ecosystem.
After one or two generations of iterations, enough experience, technology and funds were accumulated, and then the iPad was launched in a leapfrog manner to wipe out Steve Jobs's wool.
"And Mr. Lu."
Zhang Tianmei flipped through the brochure and said, "The New York Times hopes to obtain the publishing and distribution rights of "I Am the Great Master", and there are also many snack and beverage companies that want to cooperate and license their own corn products."
"Leave the publishing matter to Wang Dawei, who is the person in charge of Singularity International Station."
Lu Fei slowly opened his eyelids, took over the list of snack brands, and asked him to investigate the details of the company and specifically select small and medium-sized brands to cooperate with.
The prerequisite is that Qilixiang must accept investment and serve as a bridgehead for Qilixiang to expand overseas.
"Okay Mr. Lu."
Zhang Tianmei wrote and drew on the pamphlet, and then handed over several unopened letters.
Lu Fei casually opened it and read through it one by one. The only one was from Sayi from New Line. "Saw" was about to be released at the Fantasy Film Festival at the end of the month, but he had no interest in it.
After driving for a while, the car stopped steadily.
Wang Ben took out a mobile phone from his pocket and said, "Boss, we're here."
"Don't throw these letters away casually, break them all into pieces and dispose of them."
After Lu Fei finished speaking, he got out of the car, and two little Nico boys ran towards him, shouting the words "I am the Archmage" as they ran.
"First Prince, how dare you touch my woman!"
"Satan, you are no match for me. For the sake of your daughter, I, Tony, will spare your life."
"Fuck, is this book so popular?"
Lu Fei wore a peaked cap, lowered the brim, walked quickly into the hotel, and came to the door of the room in the text message.
As if there was a telepathic connection, Li Fuzhen pushed the door open and walked out without waiting for a knock on the door. He looked at each other face to face, and their eyes collided with each other.
"Yin Xin is inside."
"Um."
As soon as Lu Feifu entered the bedroom, the beautiful figure was reflected in his eyes. He was wearing pure white wide-leg trousers with the legs rolled up, and a sky blue ice silk sweater. His youthful and charming face was haggard and haggard, making him look pitiful.
"Oppa!"
Li Yinxin finally saw the male idol she had longed for, and was excited and resentful at the same time.
Lu Fei looked sideways, "Nuna, can you let us two talk alone?"
"this……"
Li Fuzhen looked at him to the left and to his little sister on the right, with a request in his stubborn eyes. He nodded, and then left the room without saying a word, not forgetting to close the door thoughtfully.
There was a click, and there was only one man and one woman left in the huge suite.
The two looked at each other up and down as if they were reunited after a long absence. Li Yinxin suddenly noticed the sneakers Lu Fei was wearing:
"Oppa, your shoelaces are loose."
Lu Fei groaned and tied it again absentmindedly, but it was not tied tightly.
"Oppa, you can still open your shoelaces if you tie them like this. Let me tie them for you."
Regardless of his objections, Li Yinxin squatted down and "served" patiently and seriously like a little daughter-in-law.
Lu Fei stared at him and opened his mouth several times, but stopped talking: "Yin Xin~"
"Oppa, do you want to tell me that you want to break up with me?"
Li Yinxin raised her head and showed a bright smile, but there were tears in her eyes, and her smile was uglier and pitiful than crying.
