Chapter 555: Chapter 555: Just as Expected
Two million per unit, Mo Jingchun wasn’t just saying it casually.
Although he knew the 80/20 rule, Mo Jingchun also knew that rich people in this world are always far more than imagined.
Especially in Western Countries, most of them are truly wealthy.
Two million might sound like a lot, but there are definitely plenty of people willing to pay.
Wait until we rake in a wave of wealth and then slowly lower the price, so no worries about White being unsellable.
Hesitating a moment, Xia Xiaomin asked, "Boss, should the PR department start some promotions?"
"And also, should we set the date for the launch event and start the pre-heating?"
Mo Jingchun chuckled silently, truly living up to being a secretary, already thinking of so many aspects of the job.
"No hurry, no need for promotions, we haven’t even achieved mass production yet?"
"And can you guess why Candy and I strutted around openly with White outside?"
"Don’t worry, we don’t have to promote it deliberately; someone will help with the advertising."
Pausing briefly, Mo Jingchun laughed again and said, "The more we maintain the mystery, the stronger people’s curiosity."
At this point, Zhou Yaling couldn’t help but interject, "Hmph, but they’ll be more disappointed when they find out the price."
Upon hearing this, Mo Jingchun’s mouth twitched.
There’s no way around it; what Zhou Yaling said is indeed true, but it doesn’t matter; it doesn’t hinder him from making money.
Moreover, White needs such a transitioning period.
One must know that White, with its basic diagnostic abilities, is, in another perspective, damaging the livelihood of doctors and hospitals.
Blocking someone’s source of income is like killing their parents.
This is hard-earned experience from the blood and tears of countless people.
Mo Jingchun can assert that setting White’s external selling price too low would definitely trigger a chain reaction.
At this moment, Mo Jingchun even felt that two million was a bit unreliable.
It’s really frustrating; clearly having a good product, but heavily restricted in making a lot of money.
Anyway, Mo Jingchun decided that initially, not only should the price be set high, but it should also be limited in availability.
This way, White not only won’t worry about sales, more importantly, many people will let their guard down.
Boiling a frog in warm water; by the time these frogs realize it, everything is already set.
Actually, in Mo Jingchun’s view, the appearance of White does not cause significant losses for doctors.
In any case, robots cannot replace doctors.
At least, not at the current level of human technology.
The real losers are the hospitals, but if operated well, they might not lose money.
Whatever, Mo Jingchun shook his head, casting these thoughts aside.
No need to think about this now.
Ten minutes later, as Zhou Yaling noticed the lack of a seat in the back, she immediately realized something was wrong.
Her seat was given to White, and what about her? Where does she sit?
Zhou Yaling was quite frustrated.
Luckily, the observant Feiyan vacated the front passenger seat.
"Sister, why are you upset?"
"I’m not." Zhou Yaling was clearly still being stubborn.
But the next moment, Zhou Yaling had no more urge to want White.
Only to see White seriously say: "During menstruation, there is a drastic change in the ratios of estrogen, progestogen, and androgen, leading to uncontrollable emotions, which is a very normal phenomenon."
Seeing Zhou Yaling on the verge of explosion, Mo Jingchun couldn’t bear it either, after all, White’s AI was somewhat lacking.
After Mo Jingchun issued commands to Zero through his phone, White finally quieted down after receiving the latest instructions.
This was because Mo Jingchun was worried that Zhou Yaling might have a meltdown, and also worried about the curious Candy asking all sorts of questions.
Thinking about it now, there were still many issues with White’s settings.
Regarding some special physiological details, White didn’t care; having the relevant database, White would answer fluently.
This was initially a good thing, but Mo Jingchun overlooked the different age-related issues of White’s users.
Good thing he realized in time; otherwise, waiting for customer complaints would be quite a headache.
In the evening, after dinner, Mo Jingchun slightly smiled as he looked at the content on the short videos.
Things are unfolding in the expected direction; very good, excellent!
Mo Jingchun opened his verified personal short video account, indeed, the back-end not only had a lot more private messages, but the comments under previously posted short videos had also increased.
However, there’s never a shortage of smart people in this world who judged at a glance that the "accidental" leak of White by Candy Technology was certainly expensive.
Yet, the fervor among netizens for White remained unabated.
At this moment, in a meeting room of a high-rise building across the ocean, a dozen Disney board members all looked at the video on the projector with livid faces.
"It’s unbelievable!"
Especially the contract original on the conference table, it was like a slap in their faces.
After a long time, one of the directors said calmly, "Let Rob Riddle, who signed the contract, resign by himself. I don’t want to see him again."
A contract that cost the company so much profit.
That money should have been theirs.
"Motion for reconsideration!"
"Motion for reconsideration!"
"Motion for reconsideration!"
....
Then, the rotating chairman seated at the head of the table said, "Send the regional president of Xia Country to Candy Technology to pre-order a batch of Whites."
"If our amusement parks don’t have White, what will the tourists think?"
The others thought about it and felt that was the case.
The dozen or so individuals had their own thoughts, clearly, they also wanted a White.
Of course, the premise is that the White by Candy Technology needs to have at least half the functions of the White in the movies; otherwise, why spend the money?
Bzzz~
"That guy’s calling again~"
Candy and Zhou Yaling, who were studying White, both looked over.
Mo Jingchun’s mouth twitched; when did he change his ringtone, and why didn’t he know about it?
Upon closer look, oh wow, it was a call from Qin Yuzhu.
He knew it; Qin Yuzhu definitely couldn’t resist asking.
White, in a sense, holds more significance than official research on combat robots.
The premise is still the same: this White is not much different from that White.
"Hey, Qin, have you eaten? What makes you think of calling me, such a free person?"
From afar, Zhou Yaling glanced at the time, over eight o’clock; under normal circumstances, shouldn’t everyone have eaten by now?
On the other end of the line, there was a moment of silence; Mo Jingchun vaguely sensed a hint of resentment.
"Did you develop White?"
"Yeah, that thing practically has no technological content; I casually developed it, and the first unit was given to Candy."
Under everyone’s gaze, Qin Yuzhu gritted her teeth.
What do you mean there’s no technological content, casually developed?
If it were that easy, it wouldn’t be Candy Technology’s turn.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Yuzhu helplessly asked, "How much does it differ from the White I imagined?"
"More or less the same."
Feigning surprise, Mo Jingchun said, "What? Qin, do you want one too?"
