Being A Detective in The World of Film and Television

Chapter 822: Mobile phones are hot-selling, friendly forces are helping, and scalpers are out (3 more)

This time, the name f2f... was not chosen by Luke.

A certain reborn person just said something on FB with great pride, and was killed instantly.

The reason is that a university alumni directory had registered the domain name fb several months ago.

Not only is this alumni directory website growing rapidly, it has also expanded to multiple Ivy League schools, and has won rave reviews from college students.

What’s even more annoying is that the university I attended at the beginning was not easy to deal with, as there were a lot of political figures in the alumni directory.

Ginny didn't want to get into big trouble just for a website name.

Luke could only secretly complain in his heart about the format of the name f2f, which seemed to clash with the model of a certain Ma boss.

Let’s get back to the x-hall film selling incident. Apart from a few stars involved who were under pressure, the titanium phone and f2f were both unscathed and even took the opportunity to promote themselves.

There is no loss for the few stars.

The worst news for a celebrity is no news.

It is not easy to come across such a good opportunity as to show yourself in front of the whole country and take the opportunity to enhance your reputation.

They apologized and donated money, appearing to be extremely fearful on the surface, but it is hard to tell whether they are happy or sad in private.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ginny increased the supply of titanium phones, which led to the sale of 50,000 more titanium phones without anyone noticing.

There were so many people who wanted to buy the titanium phone that the limited quantity was sold out in less than two days, which in turn aroused people's desire to buy.

Scalpers with a keen sense of smell have also joined the rush to buy, making the titanium phones even more in short supply.

Taking Los Angeles as an example, the standard version with 1GB of memory, which originally cost US$299, has been raised to US$500.

The top-end version with 2GB of memory, which cost $499, has been sold at a sky-high price of nearly $1,000.

There is no other reason.

The titanium mobile phone samples given to the stars who participated in the charity performance were all top-of-the-line models.

Those who can afford the top-of-the-line version don't mind spending an extra $500.

The hot sales of mobile phones and the large number of topics caused Ginny to encounter many problems.

There are a lot of companies that want to invest in or even acquire the company, but unfortunately most of the people who make a move at this time just want to get a bargain, and the prices are totally robbery.

There were also some people with shady backgrounds who came to negotiate, and directly threatened Ginny verbally, wanting her to sell her shares.

Luke silently took out his little black notebook and wrote down all the people who dared to threaten Ginny.

A guy with such dirty means must have done a lot of bad things.

From now on, whenever he meets someone, he will try to deal with them.

Of course, Titanium Mobile Phone Company is not too afraid of these ordinary goods now, and its partner Weiland Group is not simple either.

Even if Ginny wanted to sell her shares, the partner would have to waive the pre-emptive purchase clause.

However, the current valuation of Titanium Mobile Phone Company has increased significantly with the sales of mobile phones.

The valuation of a company that has entered the profit-generating period cannot be compared with that of a shell company that only had ideas.

At first, Ginny estimated the mobile phone company's paper wealth to be 2 billion US dollars, which is now real money that can be converted into cash at any time.

And with the hot sales and popularity of titanium mobile phones, this number is still growing wildly.

Once the sales plan of 500,000 titanium phones is completed this year, the valuation will at least triple.

Of course, these are all Ginny's business. Luke doesn't want to get involved in the specific management of the company. Those things are annoying.

However, he still called old man Weiland to test the old man's attitude.

But on the phone, the old man expressed his satisfaction with his recommendation of Wade.

Luke didn't ask what exactly Wade did to help Weland in the Amazon jungle.

Since he didn't accept the task, it's best not to care about the content of the task.

Instead, Wilander gave him another $500,000 as a thank you for recommending Wade.

Luke thought about it and decided to accept the thank-you gift.

After hanging up the phone, he murmured, "I'm afraid Weiland got a lot of benefits this time."

Although Wade was recommended to Weiland by Luke, Luke is not a headhunter.

Giving this extra thank-you fee only shows that Weiland is very satisfied with the results of this mission.

Secondly, Weiland did this to maintain the relationship between the two parties.

After the expedition to the underground ruins in Antarctica, he classified Luke as a special professional.

It would be fine if Luke himself was very capable, but he was able to complete Weiland's task by "casually" recommending Wade. This only shows that Luke has his own small circle and can come into contact with a group of people with superb personal abilities.

After paying the "agency fee" of 500,000, Weiland can continue to ask Luke for suitable candidates for other professional tasks in the future.

This time he gave the money and Luke also received the money, which meant that both parties tacitly agreed to this "agency model."

Having encountered such a great thing, Wilander was in a very good mood.

After seeing that he had spent 100 million US dollars personally and acquired 12% of Titanium Mobile Phone Company's shares, which doubled the valuation, the old man felt that the future was bright, not just a little bright.

With a wave of his hand, Weiland personally urged the company to speed up its cooperation with Titanium Mobile and try its best to promote the transformation and construction of wireless networks in major cities across the country.

Weiland Company does not belong to Weiland alone. He is only the major shareholder holding 23% of the shares. He has been the chairman for many years relying on his outstanding ability and prestige.

If he wanted to use Weyland's funds, he had to explain this to the company's directors.

However, he personally invested in Titanium Mobile Phone Company.

Weiland now needs a large amount of money to invest in a highly confidential private research, which will bring him unparalleled benefits, and the old man does not want to share it with anyone.

In this way, he could not allow Weyland's funds to enter this research project.

He promoted the Titanium Mobile Phone Company, and in the end, whether he sold the mobile phone shares or used them for loans, all the proceeds were his personal gains.

He doesn't have to account to anyone for the projects he invests the proceeds from.

In the process of promoting titanium mobile phones, Weiland will also gain great benefits. Just by entering this market first and gaining a group of fixed customers, it will generate huge profits.

As one of the largest multinational communications companies and one of the largest network operators in the United States, Weiland's efforts have made the sales of titanium mobile phones even more popular.

At the end of August, Ginny had to call Luke and ask, "Can we adjust our hunger marketing plan?"

Luke didn't care too much: "Can't you just adjust it?"

Ginny: "According to the survey, there is currently a demand of at least 500,000 units in the market, which is equal to our entire sales share this year, and our sales plan for the whole of September is only 100,000 units."

Luke thought for a moment and said, "You want to increase shipments?"

Ginny: "Right. Your idea of hunger marketing is indeed very successful, but if you continue like this, I'm afraid it will have more negative effects. Now some of our peers are saying that we are maliciously holding back sales and are scalping and selling phones at high prices."
