Chapter 219 Price Crash
Friday night passed amid the cheers and laughter of the players.
Saturday was a good time to sleep in, but when the alarm clock rang, Lin You struggled to get up despite all his reluctance.
Xiao Meng was still cheering him on in a low voice, as if it was a great thing to get up on time...
Lin You found out sadly that he was getting richer and richer, but the chances to sleep in seemed to be getting less and less.
There are always all kinds of things piled up before his eyes.
When he started to wash up, Xiaomeng also methodically put 17 million Phantom hosts on the shelves.
Countless netizens were ready to rush to buy as early as half an hour, or even earlier.
Considering the precedent of "Guangyu" going online 20 minutes earlier yesterday, netizens started refreshing the page even half an hour before this time, worried that Yunmeng would go online quietly and missed the opportunity.
This is obviously a waste of effort.
Lin You advances the notice time because of a whim, but Xiao Meng is always the most punctual, saying what time it is, it is what time it is, and it will not be advanced by a second.
The selling speed of the mainframe was still surprisingly fast. It was announced that they were all sold out in about ten minutes before and after Lin You was washing.
While the game practitioners shouted the horror, something different from the past began to appear quietly.
At 8:15, on the second-hand trading platform Sweetfish, a large number of mirage hosts began to appear, all selling for more than 80,000 yuan.
But unlike in the past, this time it was not looted.
In the first 5 minutes, less than 100,000 consoles were successfully sold!
Then a lot of people found out—why doesn’t it feel like it’s as easy to sell as it says on the Internet? Doesn't it mean that if you grab it, you earn it, and if you hang it out, you will be photographed in seconds?
Why has it been 5 minutes, and no one bought it?
10 minutes passed, 15 minutes passed, still hanging there no one took pictures!
Clever people have already begun to try to quickly reduce the price, and want to get rid of it first.
At the beginning, they tried to reduce the price by 12,000, but this time, even fewer were sold, even a cliff-like reduction. The number of transactions dropped to one-tenth, and less than 10,000 units were sold. out.
When more people see the price cut, all they think in their minds is - will there be another drop?
And the result is of course: Yes!
Count on millions of ordinary people who have never done business at all, and are even competitors, to work together to control prices?
What a dream in broad daylight!
Under the brainwashing slogan of "grabbing is earning, reselling for 100,000", it is no longer just the people who really need it.
Every time the users who participate in the snap-up, the ones who really want to buy and play may not be half of them.
For many people here, 10,000 yuan is not a small number, and their ability to bear risks is very weak.
Now when someone starts to lower the price when they see unsalable goods, it must be followed by the lower price without even thinking about it. One minute earlier, one minute earlier, one minute earlier, the bag will be safe.
And the sooner you sell it, the more you can earn!
But they forget one thing: Buyers think the same way.
As long as you start to lower the price, buyers will start to wait and see.
People who really want a console, and have sufficient financial resources, and don’t care about tens of thousands of dollars, most of them have already bought a console in the first two months—after all, there are already 35 million units in stock in the market.
And they can afford the high premium, so it is hard to say how difficult it is to get a host.
Now the remaining players who still want to buy Mirage consoles will be more rational.
They are willing to spend extra money to buy a host, but the premium they can afford is limited, and they will carefully consider the price, and will not spend money without thinking as soon as it comes up.
While buyers waited and watched, more sellers began to panic, and the price cuts became more and more frequent. Almost every few minutes, the price would drop by 12,000.
Good guy, seeing the speed of price reduction, it is even more impossible for buyers to make a move!
In the second-hand market, the mirage mainframe has just started a road of endless falls.
The 100,000 buyers who placed an order at 8:15, seeing this situation, canceled their orders one after another—after all, no one wants to be taken advantage of!
At this time, the seller has still bought the mainframe himself. Of course, it is impossible to deliver the goods. He can only watch the order being cancelled, and then join the vast army of price cuts.
Online trading platforms do not have the saying "Once sold, no return". Even if it is a second-hand trading platform with less perfect rules and regulations, it is impossible to say "You can't go back on your orders once you have placed an order!"
There is almost no cost to buy bottoms on online trading platforms.
When the price of the mainframe dropped to 50,000 units, more than 100,000 orders were sold.
But those orders were canceled one after another when buyers saw that prices continued to fall with no signs of stopping.
Then when the price fell to the key nodes of 40,000, 35,000, 30,000, 25,000, and 20,000, a large number of orders were filled almost every time, and the transaction volume was getting bigger and bigger.
However, no matter how many transactions are made, they will be canceled within the next 5 minutes.
While the sellers cut prices, they also had to deal with refunds, and they were so aggrieved that they almost wanted to vomit blood.
But there is no way, who made them want to make this money, but they can't predict the market trend?
It was not until the price fell below 15,000 that the price gradually stabilized, and the real transaction orders began to appear one after another.
This also means that after two full months, the second-hand market price of Mirage hosts finally ushered in a stable day.
From then on, no sky-high price hosts will appear in the market.
As more hosts are put on the shelves, it is no longer far away to truly bring the price of the second-hand market to the same level as the official price.
Maybe even next week!
In the future, people who snap up consoles for the purpose of reselling them to make money are destined to disappear quickly. The normal market environment that Lin You has been waiting for for a long time is finally coming.
Xiao Meng quickly informed Lin You of the news, and Lin You was naturally very happy.
At the same time, he also felt that this was not surprising. After all, he posted new content almost twice a week, and such a thing would happen sooner or later.
Not to mention that 17 million units were launched directly this week, almost directly doubling the market stock!
Players will definitely not be willing to buy high-priced products when they see such shipments.
At worst, wait another week. Anyway, there will be more than 10 million units next week, and the difficulty of buying is already very small.
"Now that the market has stabilized, the number of people rushing to buy next week will be greatly reduced, and the sales speed will also slow down. We will not continue to expand production capacity next week, and let's make a whole, and produce 15 million units." Lin Youding Next week's shipping plan.
"Anything else?"
If nothing happened, he would go out to interview the professional manager.
"Yes!" Xiaomeng replied immediately, "It's the new technology that has been deciphered again!"
"Save first." Lin You said casually.
In fact, last week's "League of Assassins" sold record numbers at the same time that online numbers also broke records.
That week, a new technology was successfully deciphered, which is a very high-end "anti-attack technology" dedicated to fighting against AI, but Lin You was too busy, so he asked Xiaomeng to save it first.
"It's different this time!" Xiaomeng didn't obey obediently, but reiterated again uncharacteristically: "Master, you may need this technology very much!"
"Oh? What technology?" Lin You was curious.
"Hibernation cabin!" Xiaomeng replied cheerfully.
"Hibernation cabin? Space navigation technology?" Lin You was a little surprised, "Why do I need this technology?"
"Wait!" Lin You suddenly reacted, "What do you mean, this technology can solve the problem of the decline of body motor function caused by players lying down for a long time to play games?"
Thanks for the reward of 500 dots in Lost Mengjing!
