Ace of the Dragon Division Chapter 700: Popular Demand Part Two

Even after everything was sold out, it was still difficult to stop the enthusiasm of the shoppers. They left comments asking for the product to be restocked, and some of them were working during the day, so by the time they finished work, they had missed the chance and were messaging customer support expressing their desire.

The two major online shopping centers were dumbfounded by the situation.

They were out of stock!

– Dongdong E-Mall –

“Director, Taobao has a store that was selling the products with an initial stock of 100K, and they were also sold out within the first three hours.”

That director’s eyes twitched a bit. “This means that the market demands are not met. Get in contact with those physical stores for me. They are not open for business yet, we need to cooperate with them so we could sell it here first, and we’ll discuss the profit share.”

The customer service person smiled bitterly. “We contacted them after we were sold out, but they refused. Their physical store’s market price is 5% more expensive than online, and this 5% happens to be their extra profit, so if they take it online to sell it, their profit will decrease.”

The director was angry. “These greedy businessmen, they just don’t want us to have any of their profit! It’s because they see the sales booming and they’re not afraid that their stock won’t be sold. As long as the quality and efficacy of the product works, they might even be able to price it higher.”

That was when the office door opened, and the assistant general manager walked in. “Director, the general manager asked you to go to his office.”

The director smiled bitterly and thought, Here comes what I was afraid of.

He arrived at the general manager’s office and knocked on the door as he walked in.

The general manager sat behind his desk with one hand on the desk, and without looking up, he asked, “Do you know what I’m calling you here for?”

The director sucked in a breath and said. “President Liu, I’ll reflect on my mistakes.”

The director felt embarrassed. “President Liu, I was afraid that the cost was too high and if we couldn’t sell it all, then it would be a loss for us. I was looking out for the company.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the President slammed the table with a furious expression on his face; it was a loss in money after all!

Just as he was about to rage at him, someone called his office phone.

He picked up to answer and his expression changed a little; after he hung up the phone, he said to the director, “Okay, we’ll discuss this later. Right now, try contacting those physical stores and talk with their owners to discuss a possible cooperation. We could offer them the online platform to sell their products, and we don’t want any profit from them. We just need to maintain our participation in this.”

Director: “President Liu, you don’t need to suck up to those people, since they have been contacting us to sell their products online for a while now. Who were the ones begging for their products to be put online? Now they decided to toughen up?”
