Chapter 171: How to raise interest (2/2)
Currently, the sales of the Mechanical Engineered Chairs were quite stable. The domestic sales had dropped slightly, but was recovered by the sales overseas. All in all they could bring in 15 million in sales each day.
As for the rest of the money in the bank, Ye Qing needed it for producing the Mechanical Colossus I series, and to research into the Rank 4 black technologies.
Compared to the Mechanical Engineered Chairs or the Rapid Metal Engravers, the Mechanical Colossus I series was truly how money was made. This kind of slightly larger than excavator equipment was given a price tag of 10 million by Ye Qing.
Domestic excavators normally were all priced around 700,000 each. The I series’ price tag was nearly 15 times more.
As for for the 150 ton X series, currently it just cost too much effort to create, so they were labeled as not for sale products.
To be honest, Ye Qing had no confidence in the price tag of the I series. The abilities of the Mechanical Colossus might be great and all, but when no one has seen just how great it was, there was no way someone would spend the same amount of money needed to buy 15 domestic excavators to buy another piece of domestic equipment. Ye Qing felt that if it was him, he would probably curse the living daylights out of someone.
Ah screw it!
The Mechanical Engineered Chairs was worth a domestically made sedan, but now with its image being made as something worth the price, it was still keeping its original high sale levels.
Contemplating up to there, Ye Qing went into his office and gave the IT department a task: to put images of the Mechanical Colossus I on the front page of their website.
At the moment, the official site of the Monster Heavy Industry was somewhat popular in the internet. The users of the Mechanical Engineered Chairs would also come and download those chair programs to play with.
Ye Qing could guarantee that as soon as these HD pictures are out, there were definitely going to be many M.E.C. users discussing what it was.
Of all the users of the Mechanical Engineered Chairs, 99% of them were wealthy individuals with too much money to spare.
These people were in all kinds of business. Who knows, maybe some of them were actually in the construction business. When the time comes for this product to be officially released, they would definitely be paying attention to it.
And then……
The Mechanical Colossus would give them a big big surprise!
“Boss, no written descriptions?” The IT manager, Ji Ke, asked in the meeting.
“No words for now, gotta raise people’s interest first.” Ye Qing thought to himself, if all the data was put up, then there was just no mysteriousness left.
All of those mobile companies like Apple, Huawei, and Samsung, played this kind of game. First they release some kind of interest raiser, then only reveal its true identity when the product itself was about to be released.
Right at this moment, Ye Qing’s phone rang. He first thought it was Ji Ke calling, but on the call display it showed Director Ding.
“Hehe ~ President Ye!” On the call, Ding Yin sounded somewhat hesitant: “I might need your help again.”
“Were the folding arms not enough?”
“No no, its a problem with the model.” As soon as Ding Yin got into this topic, he immediately went into a rage: “5 cent effects, truly are 5 cent effects.”
“We used the two arms to film a shockingly real landing scene, and gave it to a well known special effects company to edit.”
“Yet the preliminary results was, my god, unbearable. The CGed spaceship literally looked like one of a cartoon.”
“Then why are you asking me for help?” Ye Qing was completely lost: “We’re a heavy industry company. Foldable arms are fine, but CG effects, that’s a whole entire ballpark.”
“President Ye, you’re too modest.” Ding Yin laughed: “Did you forget about what happened last time at Sheraton?”
“When you were signing contracts with those foreign clients, you had 3D model pictures playing in the background. From what I’ve heard, the imitations were more real than the real life ones. When enlarged, even a piece of chipped bark could be clearly seen on the trees.”
“This kind of skill, don’t mention domestically, even Hollywood might not be able to compare to it.”
