Volume 2 Chapter 23 - Frestech Chamber of Commerce???s trump card (1/2)

Since the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s product announcement, the companies in Banta City and the surrounding cities had followed this pattern. Each time they had a new product or a rather important product to sell, they would hold a product announcement.

For example this week, the Sarank Chamber of Commerce from Banta City would be holding a product announcement for a line of accessories under their name. They even took it a step further and booked the Banta City square to hold quite a large exhibit, attracting countless rich people and people who didn’t have money in Banta City and the surrounding cities to see it.

But no matter how much effort the other companies put in their product announcements and no matter how much attention they go, it couldn’t compare to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s second product announcement.

At the first Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s product announcement, Xu Yi admitted to dating the Banta Goddess young miss Still.

At their second product announcement, other than the new product, what kind of other shocking news would the Frestech Chamber of Commerce announce?

Based on these thoughts, even though there were still two hours before the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s second product announcement, the Banta City market square used for the product announcement was already filled with people. Among them were reporters from Banta City, Saltan City, and Karma City.

Even quite a few people from the further Canberra City and Norton City came after hearing the news, so it could be seen how attractive this product announcement was.

In the crowd, the vice editor in chief Rhine of the «Karma Times» had brought two assistants to come five hours early. The came to the market square before the sun even came up just to seize a position closer to the stage.

When he arrived, he found that there were people who came before him.

There was no need to say it, but these people were his colleagues, reporters from other newspapers.

As reporters who had sharp senses and more contacts than normal people, these people were naturally better at human communication.

So after waiting for a few hours, these reporters became more familiar with each other.

Seeing the crowd become bigger and bigger, the topics that everyone was discussing naturally fell to the product announcement.

“Don’t you think that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s product announcement is strange this time?” The one who spoke was a reporter from Saltan City, but he wasn’t from the «Saltan Morning News», rather he was from a new newspaper called «Saltan News».

“How is it strange?” The one who asked was a reporter from Banta City.

Of course it wasn’t from the «Banta Times». With the relationship between the «Banta Times» and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, they didn’t need to wait here like them.

This reporter came from the «Sun News», which was said to be backed by the Sarank Chamber of Commerce. They normally reported on news between nobles and the newest luxury product trends.

Because the «Sun News» focused on thi aspect, this newspaper had become the guide for rich madames and young misses in the surrounding cities, so its sales volume wasn’t low.

“Because according to what I know, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Xu normally handles things in a low key manner. For example, he held the last product announcement at the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s service center and didn’t rent a large place like the Banta City market square. Also he didn’t send all those invitations to everyone at different newspapers, creating such a large scene.” The reporter from the «Saltan News» mysteriously said this, “My guess is that some news that will surprise us will be appearing soon.”

The other reporters looked at each other and could see the looks of approval in their eyes. But to be discreet, no one agreed with him verbally.

“Actually even if there aren’t any other news, just the new product the Frestech Chamber of Commerce is announcing is already enough to attract everyone’s attention, isn’t it?” Rhine thought about it before saying, “Do you know how many units the Automatic Magic Rice Cooker sold last time?”

The crowd looked at him in surprise.

“You know the exact number? I’ve heard that it was over fifty thousand, but if this is true, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce must have made a large amount.” Another reporter said with a sigh, “I’ve found someone to estimate the costs of this Automatic Magic Rice Cooker and it should be around one gold coins. The Frestech Chamber of Commerce is selling it for three and a half gold coins, so each one makes a profit of over two gold coins. If they sold fifty thousand units, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce has earned over a hundred thousand gold coins just from this! This is too terrifying!”

“Fifty thousand units?” Rhine gave a cold snort, “You’re looking down on the Frestech Chamber of Commerce too much. Let me tell you, it’s this number.” Rhine reached out a finger.

Everyone was shocked at the same time.

“A hundred thousand units? Impossible! There are less than two hundred thousand people in Banta City, could it be that everyone bought one?”

“Of course not. After all, other than Banta City, there are many people in our Saltan City who bought some.”

“Un, our Karma City as well.”

“There were also quite a few in our Canberra City.”

“Our Norton City as well……”

…...

After everyone finished talking, they were shocked to find that according to everyone’s report, with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce selling Automatic Magic Rice Cookers in all these cities, it wasn’t impossible to accept that over a hundred thousand units were sold.
