Inside Huaxing Technology, goods were being moved in an orderly manner, preparing for the company's first online and offline sales event.

The buzz online remained high, even causing the sales of previously well-performing Honor and Huawei phones to gradually drop to a freezing point.

Clearly, consumers were eagerly anticipating the opportunity to purchase the phones from this launch event.

Time flew by, and it was already the 10th. Huaxing Technology's official website server was once again overloaded.

Data showed that over ten million users online were waiting for the phone sales to begin.

Outside the official Huaxing experience stores, long queues had formed.

Reporters even came to the entrance of Huaxing experience stores with microphones, ready to interview customers who wanted to buy the phones.

"Hello, sir. I'm a reporter from Jinling Daily. Seeing that you're standing in a relatively forward position, may I ask when you arrived?"

"Six in the morning!"

"You came here so early to wait. May I ask which phone you're interested in?"

"Hongmeng S3 Pro."

"May I ask what aspects of this phone appeal to you?"

"Is it not worth queuing up to buy a phone with flagship specifications for less money?"

Many similar scenes were occurring in front of Huaxing phone stores.

Such reports spread online, allowing people to witness the popularity of Huaxing Technology's phones.

Even some netizens who had never used Huaxing Technology products searched for information about them.

After searching, they were instantly attracted to the phone's extreme cost-effectiveness and quickly visited the official Huaxing Technology website to see if they could buy an excellent product.

Yang Qiang, the head of the Hongmeng S series, was very excited to see this feedback from the market.

Looking at the popularity and consumer reception, the sales shouldn't be too low.

At ten o'clock as scheduled, users who wanted to buy the phone frantically clicked the buy button, but they quickly entered a queue.

However, with over ten million people competing for 1.5 million phones, naturally, a large number of people wouldn't be able to get one.

Most netizens were anxiously waiting in the queue, but after about a minute, they discovered that the queue had stopped, and the products were completely sold out.

Inside the Huaxing Technology conference room, all the senior executives of Huaxing Technology were looking at the data on the big screen in complete silence.

In less than a minute, the inventory of 1.5 million phones was instantly sold out.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Lu Haifeng took the lead in applauding, clearly very satisfied with the sales results achieved this time.

Selling out in one minute directly showed that Huaxing Technology's phones were still very popular in the market.

The other senior executives of the company also slowly began to applaud when they saw this data, as the current data was simply too dazzling.

Yang Qiang, as the person in charge of this event, also had a happy expression on his face. The product launched this time was so successful.

This was something he could brag about for the rest of his life and would be the most brilliant achievement in his work experience.

Such impressive results were definitely something to boast about, and some netizens could even see echoes of the first-generation Hongmeng S1 from a few years ago in this sale.

The offline market was still booming. In less than an hour and a half, the offline market's stock, like the online market's, was completely sold out.

It could be said that the situation was now basically one of supply falling far short of demand.

"Out of stock? Is Huaxing Technology learning this from Xiaomi?"

"Xiaomi is learning from Huaxing Technology. Have you forgotten who the originator is?"

"Yes! The first generation of the Hongmeng S series was also so popular back then!"

"Haha, I got one! Am I awesome?"

"I specially set an alarm for 9:55, but it was over before it even started!"

"My whole family of three was trying to get one, but we couldn't get a single one. Can't Huaxing Technology release a little more stock?"

Below Huaxing Technology's official Weibo, the netizens were starting to riot, as the total sales this time were only three million phones, and there were still many users who wanted to buy one.

This led to a large number of users not being able to get a phone during the first sale.

In the conference room, Yang Qiang looked at the messages on Weibo from users who couldn't buy a phone and said with some excitement:

"President Lu, there's a high demand from consumers online, and there are many messages with dissatisfaction!"

Lu Haifeng looked back at Yang Qiang and jokingly said, "Old Yang, you still need to learn more from our Vice President Liu. Don't be so rash!"

"Look how calm he is!"

Liu Jianyu heard Lu Haifeng's words, took a sip of tea, and said, "If they're dissatisfied, then so be it! What you can't get is always agitating!"

"The more enthusiastically they scold us now, the higher the popularity of our products. We don't need to pay attention to these netizens now!"

Liu Jianyu was already used to the reactions of netizens.

After all, with such popularity for the products, it was necessary to properly grasp the psychology of consumers.

If all the goods were released to supplement the current market, then the popularity of the company's products would gradually decline, and it would become increasingly difficult to sell the goods later on.

And the current method of selling in batches, although there is a hint of hunger marketing in it,

Liu Jianyu has always believed that this is a method that can maximize the company's interests.

Yang Qiang didn't refute Liu Jianyu's words because he also felt that what Vice President Liu said made a lot of sense.

Huaxing Technology's products were completely sold out in less than two hours, which relieved some of the originally worried competitors in the phone industry.

After all, it seemed that Huaxing Technology's production capacity was a bit low and couldn't meet the current phone market demand at all.

Since Huaxing Technology couldn't meet the current phone market, then the phone market would leave room for Huawei and Honor phones.

And the netizens who couldn't buy a phone now were very anxious. At this time, many posts transferring Hongmeng S3 phones appeared online.

However, the prices of these transferred phones were three or four hundred higher than the official price of Huaxing Technology. It could be said that some of the three million units sold fell into the hands of scalpers.

However, these Hongmeng S3 phones sold by scalpers at high prices were still welcomed by consumers, after all, even if the price increased by three or four hundred yuan, its cost-effectiveness was still very high.

And in less than a day, the prices of these Hongmeng S3 phones in the hands of scalpers gradually rose from two or three hundred yuan to five or six hundred yuan.

After the price rose to five hundred yuan, no users were willing to buy these phones from the scalpers anymore.
