Chapter 289 Noon Dog is Crazy! ?
The Korean company agreed to discuss the endorsement based on Wu Mu's offer, and even paid more.
Wu Mu’s salary was increased to 40 million over two years, and he also received additional program pay for participating in variety shows.
The itinerary will also be arranged according to Wu Mu's schedule.
After hearing these sincere conditions from Yameng Beauty, Wu Mu had no objection.
The two sides have reached a preliminary consensus.
However, I can’t handle the endorsement and the show at the moment.
Firstly, Wu Mu has no schedule as he currently has a movie to shoot and is participating in the second half of The Voice of China. He has to wait until he finishes these two things, or at least the movie, before he has time to participate in other variety shows.
Second, the new products from Yameng Beauty have not been fully prepared yet, and it is only in the preliminary contact stage now.
After signing some names for Han Huiyuan, Wu Mu looked at the eleven performance cards on his system panel with regret.
He originally thought he could use it on a new endorsement project, but it turned out to be too early.
There is no interest in keeping the performance card in the system panel, and you are still earning points now. There is no need to keep saving them. Find another project to cash them out.
Wu Mu was thinking about projects that could be realized.
New album?
No, the 100 million profit card has not been redeemed yet. If we add more, it will take a long time.
New endorsement?
There is nothing I need at the moment.
Wu Mu was browsing his phone looking for inspiration, and when he saw a piece of news in the technology circle, he was suddenly inspired.
It seems like there hasn't been any sales for a long time.
Sell some goods!
But this time we're selling something new.
Hangzhou, StarTree Technology Co., Ltd.
As a robotics company that has only been established for a few years but has already begun to gain some fame in the industry, the boss Wang Xing is a little annoyed at this time.
"Hangzhou Jinyuan has already made up its mind to withdraw its investment. They think the gap between us and Washington Power is too big and there is no hope of catching up."
"If that's the case, then their previous promise to help us with Changhai Technology's business will probably fall through."
The company's entrepreneurial partner next to him also had a headache. "It's because of the new promotional video released by Washington Dynamics. From what I saw in their promotional video, their progress is much faster than ours."
What makes them so worried is the promotional video recently released by Washington Power, the leader in the industry.
In that promotional video, Washington Dynamics' robot dog was pushed, kicked, and even hit by wooden stakes by the staff, but it remained standing. It could also walk steadily while carrying a person. This scene is indeed much better than their products.
The contrast between the two is simply that of toys and future science fiction.
But Wang Xing also has something to say about this. "Their product looks impressive, but it can't be mass-produced at all. The hydraulic drive is too complicated and the cost is too high. We should learn from Jujiang Company and make simplified mass-produced products, and then upgrade them bit by bit. This is the right way."
He felt that Washington Dynamics' promotional video was just empty promises, but laymen just believed in them.
One of their company's investors felt that the risks of their company's product prospects were too high and chose to withdraw their investment.
This withdrawal of investment not only means that we don’t have enough funds, but also all the channels and resources that could help us contact people before are no longer available.
Wang Xing was just worrying about where to find someone to fill the gaps when his cell phone on the table rang.
"Wu Mu?" Wang Xing was slightly stunned when he saw the contact displayed on the screen.
He was deeply impressed by this star whom he had met at the World Robot Conference and who had helped them promote their product.
It’s hard not to be impressed by a celebrity who likes tech products and seems to really understand them.
He answered the phone puzzled.
Wu Mu on the other end of the phone didn't hesitate and got straight to the point. "Mr. Wang, I saw on the news that your company's investors have withdrawn their capital. Do you need me to invest in you?"
what?
Wu Mu, a star, wants to invest in a technology company like theirs?
Wang Xing felt strange and thought that the two things were really incompatible.
But Wumu's investment
Wang Xing said tactfully, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wu Mu, but our company still has funds on its books for the time being."
It is true that their company is short of money, but for a company that wants to develop in the long term, it cannot simply look for investors for money. The resources that investors can bring are often more important than money.
Although they have a good impression of Wu Mu, what resources can a star like Wu Mu bring to their company?
Wu Mu didn't care about being rejected, "Okay, you can call me if you need anything."
He then continued, "Can your robot dog be officially launched? I want to order a batch to sell in my store."
Wu Mu wants to order a batch of their company’s new products to sell?
What the hell is this?
How come you, a star, suddenly want to sell robots?
Wang Xing was completely puzzled and couldn't understand why Wu Mu would come to him for such a thing.
But even though he couldn't figure it out, he felt something moving in his heart.
Although he didn't think this person could bring them any real resources, he had seen Wu Mu's publicity ability.
Just a casual mention of it on Legendary Voice last time attracted countless people to call and ask about it.
If they sell another wave of goods, it will definitely bring them another wave of popularity.
"It has entered the final verification stage. Once the last minor issues are dealt with, it can be directly launched on the market."
"Okay, give me a cost price and I'll order a batch." Although Wu Mu was optimistic about this technology company, from a business perspective, he could objectively advertise for the company and there was no reason for him to pay for it.
Wang Xing also knew this. After hesitating for a while, he said, "The lowest price we can offer is 3,000 per unit, which is close to our loss-making line."
"Three thousand? You have lowered the cost of your new product quite a bit." Wu Mu was surprised.
Of course, they will keep it low. For them who are planning to follow the giant DJI route, cost is the primary concern.
"But I also need you to help me add my personal logo. Do I need to increase the price?"
Add a personal logo?
Doesn’t this mean it’s a co-branded version of their products?
Wang Xing thought about it and said, "It won't be a big deal to add a logo, so I'll just go with 3,000."
"How much would you like to order, Teacher Wu Mu?" he asked.
He guessed that Wu Mu might want to order about a hundred or eighty units to enrich the product category in the store.
After all, how can a celebrity sell robots?
But who would have thought
"Let's start with 3,000 units."
Seize, seize less? ?
Three thousand units! ?
This man is crazy! ?
Order 3,000 units? Who is he going to sell them to?
Outrageous, too outrageous.
Wang Xing’s own company estimates that if this robot dog can sell around 10,000 units after it goes on the market, it will be an excellent result.
No matter how confident he is about his company's route, he knows very well that this robot dog is still in the technical verification stage.
There is no way to expect to make much money from this. The important thing is to continue telling stories through products.
At this stage, this kind of consumer-grade mechanical dog has no major application scenarios at all and is just a big toy.
Moreover, it is a toy that does not have much sustained playability, it is just for the sake of novelty.
In his opinion, if 10,000 people were willing to buy this big toy, it would be a sign of raising the expectation of the number of wealthy people in the country. And Wu Mu was planning to place an order for 3,000 by himself?
Wang Xing said bluntly, "Teacher Wu Mu, you ordered too much, and the loss will be huge."
After all, they came here to promote their company, and he couldn't bear to see them suffer such a huge loss.
"It's okay, just three thousand." Wu Mu didn't care.
After trying to persuade Wu Mu earnestly for a while, Wang Xing was speechless when he saw that Wu Mu just couldn't be convinced.
Forget it, there’s nothing we can do if this guy wants to die. Anyway, he has fulfilled his duty to remind him.
"By the way, when I place an order for this product from you guys, you will charge a higher price. This shouldn't be a problem, right?" Wu Mu said again.
Sell at a higher price?
Of course that's okay.
Even if Wu Mu didn't say it, he would have said this. Wu Mu's selling price must be higher than their company's official selling price.
Otherwise, considering the huge market for this product, with 3,000 units, wouldn't they have found themselves an opponent to engage in a price war with?
Well, we have to stipulate in the contract later that the price difference on Wumu's side cannot be less than one thousand. One thousand seems too much, so let's say eight hundred.
Shi Wu, who was sent to sign the contract, felt like the sky was falling.
The boss has only been back for a short time, but he has already caused them such a big trouble!
It’s fine if you just want to sell goods for no reason, but at least sell something normal!
Even if I have to make money by cutting leeks and selling cups like before!
Although the cup, which was so obviously a scam, was outrageous, he suddenly felt it was not so bad compared to the current products.
The cost price of this robot dog is three thousand, and so many orders have been placed. Who does the boss expect to buy it?
People can impulse buy a cup worth one or two hundred yuan, but when it comes to your stuff worth thousands, they can’t impulse buy it even if they want to.
Lian Shumei couldn't help but say, "Boss, this thing is too expensive. Not many fans will be willing to pay for it."
Fans are not suckers. Everyone has to consider such expensive support. Even if there are some impulsive groups among them, with the price being so high, only a very small part of them will do so.
But Wu Mu still waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay, just leave it there and sell it slowly."
fan?
Who still expects fans to buy goods? Brother Tongzi’s performance card is the fan.
He didn't care and started editing the new product page according to the materials sent by Wang Xing's company.
Shu Mei and Shi Wu, who had no idea how many times they had tried to persuade him, were exhausted. They sighed and resigned themselves to Wu Mu's fate, intending to help and give some advice.
but.
Leaning closer, they saw the price already listed on the product page, and the faces of the two resigned people gradually froze.
Wu Mu's Evolution: "I have just launched a new batch of goods in my online store. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."
Wu Mu’s new Weibo post was published.
It didn't take long for someone to notice.
"Fuck, the Noon Dog online store has new products. This bastard is out to make money again."
"It's so funny. I saw that Wu Gou hasn't been out selling goods for a while. I thought he had a change of heart and stopped cutting leeks. I didn't expect him to come out again now."
"This is a bit unnecessary. Logically speaking, he is not short of money now, so why would he do something that would ruin his reputation?"
"Indeed, this is a very ugly thing to do. It's really unnecessary."
Everyone is complaining below.
But some people have other perspectives.
"Don't tell me, although I know that Wu Gou is just trying to take advantage of me, I was actually quite moved by his Weibo post. I also scolded him before, but now that such a long time has passed, I inexplicably feel that a cup worth two hundred yuan is not that expensive."
"Yes, although the cup is not worth that much money, but the dog's logo was damaged this morning. It seems that we have been successfully PUA'd by this dog!"
"Hahaha, the main reason is that this damn cup is quite valuable. Some people have been buying it for double the price on Xianyu. Not only is it not a loss to buy it, but you can even make money."
"Let's see how many Noon Dog has released this time. If the quantity is not large, I will buy one and see if there are any of his crazy fans to buy it. If not, I will keep it for myself to drink."
Everyone chatted on Wumu’s Weibo, and then found the link to Wumu’s online store together to check out Wumu’s new products.
Soon, they saw the only item currently on sale in Wumu’s online store.
Hey, Star Tree Robot Dog?
Why did Wu Mu think of selling this kind of thing?
And the price is so expensive?
Three thousand per unit?
Wait, something seems wrong?
Everyone stared at the number 3 in front of the price, and then counted the zeros one by one.
The more he counted, the stiffer his expression became.
3 million.
"Fuck you! I'm such an idiot for thinking that Noon Dog Man would change for the better!!"
"How disgusting! Why can Wu Gou always be so unimaginable?"
"We call ourselves crazy fans, but you really think we are crazy, don't you? People can accept your sale at 300 yuan, but you sell it for 30,000 yuan!?"
"How can Wu Gou be such a piece of shit! He just cut 30,000 leeks!"
"I originally wanted to buy one for fun, but now... I'm going to buy your uncle, you bastard, you want me to sell my blood, right?"
Damn it!
How could this damn thing become so inflated?
In the past, even if it was just cutting leeks, this would still cost at least one or two hundred yuan.
Why do people dare to spend thirty thousand yuan on things now?
It expands to the point where it can suck people dry in one breath, right?
Outrageous, really outrageous!
The price made passers-by who went to the store to watch dizzy.
The price of cutting leeks is completely beyond everyone's imagination.
They really couldn't think of any other star who could do such an outrageous thing.
Wang Xing was also looking at the Wumu product page with a stiff expression.
After counting back and forth several times and confirming that it was thirty thousand, he felt a sense of absurdity and unreality.
He scrolled through the page several times and read it from beginning to end. After confirming that this was indeed his company's product, he took out his mobile phone.
Wang Xing: "Teacher Wu Mu, the prices of the products in your online store seem to be wrong."
Wu Mu: "Yes, that's the price."
Wang Xing was silent for half a second, then continued, "Teacher Wu Mu, have you seen that our company's store has also put its products online?"
"Oh, I see. I wish you good business."
".Has Mr. Wu Mu seen the price of our products?"
"I see. Oh, don't worry. My price won't affect you. You sell yours and I sell mine."
Wang Xing silently turned off the screen of his phone, slid the mouse, and pulled up the website address of his company's store.
The first generation of Xingshu robot dog is priced at 8,800 yuan.
It really has no impact.
It’s twenty-one thousand and two thousand more expensive.
Wu Mu is crazy!!!
