Chapter 70: The authors’ examination
Translated by me, edited by drpetro.
“Not too much, but if I were to copy this chair introduction and publish it, then it’s probably enough for one of your chairs.”
Seeing that, Ye Qing laughed and messaged back.
“I clicked my mouse a bit and spent over a million yesterday.”
Chang Yu: “………”
The two were clearly telling the truth, yet neither believed the other.
Within a certain high-end apartment unit in the first ring of Beijing, a handsome young man was sitting on a Herman Miller ergonomic chair, using a very upbeat typing style to chat with Ye Qing.
He was Chang Yu, the author of the super popular book I’m Really A Super Star, hosted on Qidian novels.
His success naturally couldn’t be separated from his hard work. At least 8 to 9 hours a day, he was sitting in front of his computer typing away at his creation.
Sitting for such a long time, without an ergonomic chair to protect the back and the neck, was putting the body up for major health concerns like neck pain and cracking hips.
As of right now, the chair he had was a flagship product made by Herman Miller. In its entirety, it was priced at over 8000 yuan within the country.
The chair was very comfortable to sit in, and had quite the quality. It was just that when the chair had been used long enough, a lot of the parts gets worn and become loss. Hence Chang Yu’s decision to get a new chair.
Herman Miller was his go to choice, but buying things naturally meant browsing through lots of other choices, so he conveniently ordered the products from the highest price to the lowest on TaoBao.
High prices naturally meant little to no buyers. Sure enough, there wasn’t a single sale for any products on the first page.
Red wood chair, deer hide chair, president’s chair……
Those were all things that were only for the looks. Sitting a long time continuously in them would easily make people go crazy.
But there was one chair that was completely different from all the other chairs that attracted Chang Yu’s eyes — The Mechanical Engineered Chair.
The chair didn’t have the traditional office chair’s wheeled base, or even the must have higher adjusters of the ergonomic
A chair without height adjusters meant a low end product. This seemingly large and super sturdy mechanical chair, had some folding mechanism at the bottom, that seemingly looked like a mechanical arm.
The introduction also said that the mechanism at the bottom of the chair could raise or lower as one pleased, and turn 180 degrees in any direction.
This…… introduction basically made it sound like tiers above any other chairs in the world, that was if the introduction wasn’t lying.
Tens of thousands of different experiences……
Chang Yu definitely wasn’t believing it, but the chair was just too engaging to look away.
Yes!
When compared to those executive chairs that had carvings, imprints, and the fanciest leather in the whole world, this chair only had a layer of simple leather. The chair was crude and simple to beyond belief.
It had got nothing fancy at all, just a layer of leather covering. Yet it was just that this simplicity, when paired with its crude outlining, gave Chang Yu an illusion of seeing the spaceship pilot’s chair from the future.
The mechanical engineered chair pretty much lacked everything, yet it had some mesmerizing mechanical beauty showing through.
It was just that the price set for the chair was too damn high.
But even if the price was high, it wasn’t like he couldn’t afford it. Chang Yu felt that if this seller actually tried to market the chair a bit, then he probably would’ve already bought it.
But now the question became that the seller didn’t even seem to want to sell the product.
Some stores just love to do promotions, for example set a product’s price to be super high, just to attract more customers.
Then they leave some normally priced products in the shop for people to buy.
That was basically like a free advertisement, as for the effects, who the heck cared, it was freaking free.
These overpriced products generally were are just lies, but there were no other products in the shop, hence Chang Yu’s bewilderment.
Seeing Ye Qing’s reply saying wasting a million with just some mouse clicks.
