Chapter 14: Advertising Dog
"Boss, this is too much, our work doesn't merit such high wages..." Ding Wei and Little Mei regained their senses and hurriedly protested in alarm.
"You'll be doing more than just checking their packaging, you'll have other tasks. Little Mei will be in charge of some accounting matters, and Ding Wei, you don't have a driver's license yet, do you? Better get one soon, the factory will cover the tuition fees. Moving forward, delivering goods will be a lot of work for you, getting a driver's license would make it easier, until you get it, you'll be responsible for deliveries..." Lin Yun laughed and said.
"Alright, that's settled then. You guys first arrange accommodation for them, then head to the nearby canteen to sort out meals; from now on, the factory will cover all three meals a day." Seeing that Ding Wei and Little Mei wanted to say something, Lin Yun waved them off and said.
Originally, his factory housed twenty-one workers. After those workers left, their dormitories became vacant, providing just the right place to accommodate these newcomers.
"Alright, boss." Ding Wei and Little Mei had no choice but to nod and accept.
With Lin Yun offering such high wages, they couldn't afford to slack off, it would be against all reason and justice.
In fact, after Lin Yun announced their wages with such dominance, and they had no option but to accept, they were frankly delighted. After all, why else would they travel from afar to work if not for making money? Now, their wages were almost tripled, how could they not be thrilled?
When they heard Lin Yun saying not just accommodation, but even their three meals a day would be covered by the factory, the newly hired workers were also very pleased. The cost of housing and meals combined was not a small expense, so now they could save a significant sum.
In an instant, they were more hopeful for the future and felt a stronger sense of belonging to the factory.
With the increase in workforce, efficiency naturally increased. In just one day, ten thousand power banks were all packed successfully.
At this time, Lin Yun's customers also started ordering products from him.
In two days, Lin Yun sold another five thousand power banks.
By this point, after deducting the expenses of the recent days, Lin Yun's account held two million eight hundred thousand, and the Cosmic Trading System had twenty-nine Spirit Energy Points remaining.
"Haha, Boss Lin, I've sold the one thousand power banks. I'll order ten thousand more, do you have them in stock?"
One afternoon, as Lin Yun was absorbing Spirit Energy on the eighth floor of the Golden Dragon Building, he suddenly received a call from Zhao Long, who laughed heartily.
It had to be said, Zhao Long was indeed very bold. He had just sold one thousand power banks and now he was ordering ten thousand.
"No problem, is it the same delivery address as last time?" Lin Yun smiled slightly and replied.
"Yes, I'll transfer the money to you right now." On the other end, Zhao Long was concurrently processing the transfer and speaking with a laugh.
Unbeknownst to Lin Yun, Zhao Long had his own plans. After two days of testing, Lin Yun's power bank proved to be very powerful, not just ordinary powerful. This kind of good product, once recognized by the market, would likely soon be in short supply.
At this juncture, if he didn't hurry to stock up, what was he waiting for?
If there was a shortage later, it would be too late for him to regret it.
He only ordered ten thousand power banks this time because his testing period was short. He had already sent his power bank to an authoritative institution for testing. If it tested well, even if it was fifty thousand or one hundred thousand, he would dare to buy.
He wasn't afraid of the price dropping later because the power banks on the market were far inferior to Lin Yun's. As long as Lin Yun wasn't a fool, he wouldn't lower the price anymore. One hundred eighty yuan was already very low, even if Lin Yun agreed to drop the price, the market wouldn't.
Unless, Lin Yun could provide an unlimited supply of these power banks.
Not only will the price not drop, it might even go up later.
Although Zhao Long had just entered the electronics wholesale market, he still had a certain business sense.
In life, one may encounter certain opportunities. Once encountered, one must seize them without hesitation.
Let those old fellas laugh all they want this time; he must show them his power, Zhao Long silently vowed.
Just having entered the electronics wholesale market, full of grand ambition, he had laid a large foundation. But the cost of laying such a large foundation was high, resulting in significant losses. This gave the old people a good reason to laugh at him... He was suppressing his frustration, determined to make an achievement they could see.
Lin Yun's power bank was seen by him as an opportunity.

Huaxia's largest electronics forum.
A post discreetly appeared.
First floor (Bloody Baby): Damn, I found a powerful power bank today, the same size as ordinary power banks but with a capacity of one hundred thousand milliampere hours...
Second floor (I'm a good person223): The power bank that the person above is talking about must be the Qingyun brand, right? Haha, I also bought one, I have to say, this power bank is really amazing. Today I drained my phone playing games, and I just grabbed it to charge my phone, and within ten minutes my phone was fully charged...
Third floor: This ad is so amateur...
Fourth floor: An advertisement dog, no doubt!
Fifth floor: These advertisers are getting less and less professional. You're telling me the power bank fully charged your drained phone within ten minutes, are you doubting our IQ?
Sixth floor: I agree with the above comment, we don't despise you for being an advertisement dog, but at least make your sham somewhat convincing!
Seventh floor (Bloody Baby): Damn, who's an advertisement dog, who said I'm advertising? That person on the second floor isn't wrong, the Qingyun power bank really is that amazing. You can go and try it for yourself. If it's not as good as we said, I'll eat shit on live broadcast!
Eighth floor: Haha, it seems that the person above really thinks we're stupid. If we go and buy it, wouldn't we be falling into your trap?
Ninth floor: What's so strange about a dog eating shit? You betting us with this, is really not sportsmanlike!
Tenth floor: Waiting for the person above to eat shit on live broadcast...

If the product is only a little better, the user may feel impressed for a while and then forget about it. But if the product is a lot better, it will shock the users and they won't be able to help but praise it, or even show off, because how else will they flaunt their great discovery?
This was what Lin Yun wanted.
As the Qingyun power banks were continuously sold, posts about them began to appear on various electronics forums.
Especially the appearance of many doubters who accused the posters of being ad dogs, which infuriated them and resulted in a series of quarrels. This brought the Qingyun power banks into public view and got more people to remember them.
They might not buy it right away, but when they needed a power bank and they saw the Qingyun power bank in the market, they might not be able to resist checking it out, getting to know it a little better. Among them, some will give it a try.
The Qingyun power bank was slowly brewing under these circumstances, waiting for its moment to explode.
