Chapter 69: Attracting Thousands of Young Girls to Bow

Fang Xintong, who was studying at a middle school in Hong Kong, also came to the mall with a female classmate. Fang Xintong and the other girl were in the same school, and their family backgrounds were similar, so they naturally became good sisters.

Fang Xintong's father worked in a securities company, and her mother worked in an art training center. Her family background was quite well-off, and they could afford a Filipino maid. Fang Xintong could also get a sum of pocket money to use every month.

After wandering around the mall with her classmate for a long time, both Fang Xintong and the other girl had many bags in their hands, including clothes and jewelry. Originally, Fang Xintong and the other girl were going to eat at an old shop, but passing by the area selling toys, they saw that quite a few people had gathered here.

Fang Xintong and her classmate had been to this mall several times, but such a scene had never appeared before. A woman's curiosity is no weaker than a cat's, and even stronger.

Looking at each other with her female classmate, Fang Xintong and the other girl carried their bags, ran toward the crowd, stood on tiptoe, and looked inside.

Fang Xintong saw quite a few parents bringing children inside, and there were also girls of her age, all queuing up in front of a toy store.

The toy store in this mall was not large, only about a dozen square meters. And in front of the queuing counter, a poster was pasted, which was a picture of an electronic pet machine, and then it also wrote about its origin.

In the poster description, the electronic pet machine was a small species from outer space. They left an egg on Earth, and now this egg was in the electronic pet machine, needing someone to accompany and take care of the creature in the electronic pet machine to grow up together, to let them see what this world looked like!

Looking at the simple electronic pet machine with only a small black and white screen and a few buttons, and then looking at the propaganda in the poster, Fang Xintong only felt that the electronic pet machine was too simple, and even carried a bit of childishness. The gifts her parents bought her when she was a child were all toys from Japan, America, and Europe, and the workmanship was much more exquisite than the electronic pet machine in front of her!

But thinking was thinking, Fang Xintong and her female classmate's footsteps walked toward the queuing crowd. Fang Xintong said she didn't want to play with this electronic pet machine much; she just simply felt that the cartoon-style electronic pet machine looked okay, and it would be quite good to use as a keychain and hang it on her backpack, that was all...

After queuing for a few minutes, it was finally Fang Xintong's turn. She just wanted to say she wanted a red cartoon electronic pet machine when she heard the clerk say, "Sorry, this product only has the last one left!"

Looking at the yellow-cased electronic pet machine, Fang Xintong wanted to say she didn't want it, but still took the machine. After reading the manual, she started to fiddle with the electronic pet machine. Her female classmate lay on her shoulder and watched.

"Hello, may I ask, do you want to buy this product?!" Seeing ten minutes pass, the clerk reminded Fang Xintong.

"Yes, I'll buy it!"

Fang Xintong, who had woken up, held the electronic pet machine in her hand tightly, not even wanting the packaging box, and refused to let go.

"A total of 135 Hong Kong dollars!"

"So expensive?!"

Hearing that the electronic pet machine in her hand actually sold for over 100 Hong Kong dollars, Fang Xintong couldn't help but shout. Now, the salary for an ordinary job in Hong Kong was about 2,000 Hong Kong dollars. Like her parents' white-collar salary, the salary was about 7,000 or 8,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Even for Fang Xintong, who had pocket money and a small treasury, over 100 Hong Kong dollars was not a small amount. It was equivalent to a day's wages for a strong laborer in Hong Kong. However, looking at the cub she had been raising for more than ten minutes in her hand, she gritted her teeth and paid to buy it.

Fang Xintong and her female classmate carried the electronic pet machine to the rest area and started to fiddle with it. The two took turns "taking care of" the pet inside and even gave it a name.

Until the mall lights came on and there were fewer people, Fang Xintong realized that they had stayed in the mall for a whole day. The two hurriedly stood up and ran toward home.

Waking up the next day, Fang Xintong, who had overslept a bit, ate a few mouthfuls of breakfast, hurriedly picked up her schoolbag, and rushed toward the school.

After a morning of classes, after the teacher left, Fang Xintong finally hurriedly took out the electronic pet machine to feed, bathe, play, and clean up feces for it.

When Fang Xintong took out the electronic pet machine, the girl from yesterday and the surrounding girls all gathered around together.

When a girl who was close to Fang Xintong opened her mouth and wanted to experience the electronic pet machine, Fang Xintong couldn't bear to refuse. Until it was almost time for class in the afternoon, the electronic pet machine was reluctantly returned to Fang Xintong from another girl's hand.

After school, Fang Xintong saw many girls rushing toward the nearest toy store, not only her classmates but also girls from other classes.

Fang Xintong also saw a girl with an electronic pet machine hanging on her schoolbag. When passing by, she harvested a crowd of envious eyes. The girl then walked away with her head held high like a proud white swan.

"Boss, do you have an electronic pet machine?!"

Ma Daowei, who opened a digital store, heard this question for the nth time today, and finally couldn't help but say to the two half-grown boys who entered the door, "No, this is a serious digital store, a place to sell pagers and big brothers, not a toy store!"

"Even without an electronic pet machine, what kind of store are you opening!"

The two half-grown boys didn't care about Ma Daowei's anger at all, and even added a knife, then walked out. One of them muttered to the other, "This is the nth store, none of them have electronic pet machines. If we can't find one, we have to go to Mong Kok.

I still want to give one to Qiu Yuying. I feel she really wants one. If I give it to her, maybe she can agree to go out with me!"

"You have no chance. Is Qiu Yuying someone you can chase? You don't need to pee and look in the mirror. I want to give it to Zhou Shanshan. She looks so much like Ye Yunyi when she smiles!" the other person said.

"Qiu Yuying is better-looking!"

"Zhou Shanshan!"

The two sides argued while looking for the next store to see if there was an electronic pet machine.

Ma Daowei watched the two leave. Seeing that there were girls and several half-grown boys coming over again, he hurriedly hung the handwritten sign "This store does not sell electronic pet machines" on the door.

Sure enough, once this sign was hung, the people who were originally walking toward this side immediately changed direction and walked toward other stores.

Finally, it was quiet. However, Ma Daowei's heart was also hooked with curiosity. He didn't know what the electronic pet machine was, that it could make so many people look for it.

After pondering for a while, seeing that there was no one in the store, Ma Daowei pulled down the rolling shutter, rode his motorcycle, and rushed toward a large shopping mall.

After entering, Ma Daowei didn't even need to look. Just seeing the longest queue, he knew it was the place selling electronic pet machines, with a pile of young people queuing.

This scene made Ma Daowei a bit surprised, making him think of the scene where pagers were frantically grabbed by ten thousand people in Hong Kong back then.

Looking at the long queue, Ma Daowei didn't prepare to queue. He stopped a young man who had just bought an electronic pet machine and was preparing to give it as a gift, pointing to the electronic pet machine in his hand, "200 Hong Kong dollars, give it to me!"

Seeing the young man still hesitating, Ma Daowei took out a few more bills. Seeing this, the young man gave the electronic pet machine to Ma Daowei without hesitation and returned to the crowd to queue again. Just by queuing, he earned over 100 Hong Kong dollars. Only a fool wouldn't do it.

Ma Daowei found a place to sit down and fiddled with the electronic pet machine. Until a few dozen minutes later, he put down the machine in his hand. He was in the electronic digital industry and had experienced various electronic products. But regardless of whether it was the cheap or expensive electronic products in his store, compared to the machine in his hand in terms of playability, especially this kind of interactive, cultivation experience, they were far behind!

Flipping through the packaging box in his hand, seeing that the place of production was Hanxi, Ma Daowei was a bit surprised. Then he found a telephone booth, and after making multiple calls, he found out that it was Ning's Trading Company that represented this product.

The phone in the marketing department of Ning's Trading Company had been ringing one after another since today and had never stopped.

"President Ning, you've worked hard. The 30,000 units put into Hong Kong have almost been sold out. Now the malls and retail stores are calling, asking us to supply goods as soon as possible!"

The supervisor of the marketing department of Ning's Trading Company ran into Ning Wenkai's office in a hurry. He was an old employee of Ning's Trading Company and was in the company when Ning Wenkai's father, Ning Wantian, was there. But for so many years, he hadn't seen a scene like this where distributors urged for supply.

"Let the warehouse at the pier ship goods to the distributors as soon as possible!"

Ning Wenkai raised her head and said. In five days, the 30,000 electronic pet machines that Ning's Trading Company tried to put into Hong Kong were almost swept away. Especially today, this sign was even more obvious. The malls and retail stores that put in electronic pet machines all started calling one after another to ask for goods.

The effect in Hong Kong was a bit beyond Ning Wenkai's expectations. Now it depended on what the scene was like for the electronic pet machines put into Japan, Korea, Singapore, Vietnam, and other places.

Originally, Ning Wenkai thought that the news from Japan and Korea would take a few days to receive, but the call came far faster than she expected!

Just as Ning Wenkai was preparing to call Dongling High-Tech, a call from Japan came first.

"It's already sold out?!"

The person who called was the supervisor of the marketing department of Bandai, which sold electronic pet machines in Japan, Chi Zemiao. When Ning Wenkai heard the other party say that the 150,000 electronic pet machines put into Japan were all sold out in less than a week, she still couldn't help but be surprised.

That was 150,000 electronic pet machines put into Japan, with a total value of over 2.25 million US dollars, and they were all swept away. Even if Ning Wenkai had expected it, she didn't expect it to sell so fast!
