Chapter 578 Sunk Costs

In the economics community, there is a professional term called sunk cost, which means the cost that is lost in order to achieve something but ultimately fails.

Take the little fat man as an example. He has spent 30,000 US dollars to get Dream. If he gives up, the 30,000 US dollars will be wasted and the cost will sink to the bottom of the sea, so this is called sunk cost.

If the fat man had known that he would not have shipped $30,000, he would never have wanted to draw a dream.

But now he has already drawn 30,000 US dollars. If he gives up at this time, the 30,000 US dollars will be wasted. This is absolutely unacceptable to the fat man.

"Give me another 100!" In the end, the fat man could only say with red eyes, like a gambler.

"Little guy, otherwise you can buy more Kentaro!" The grocery store owner probably couldn't stand it anymore and suggested.

"Why?" the little fat man asked in confusion.

"Because there were two dreams in my store, both hatched from Kentaro's eggs!" said the boss.

"Boss, you are metaphysical and unscientific. As the official said, everything is random and has nothing to do with Kentay!" the little fat man muttered.

"Then whatever you want..." The boss was too lazy to persuade him anymore, but the fat man's expression changed again and again, and finally said, "Okay, boss, can you help me get 1,000 Kentaros?"

"Okay! It's just a phone call!" The boss smiled and then called Daqian again. In a short while, a special person sent 1,000 boxes of Kentaro's pocket electronic pets over.

After all, it is a big order to ask for 1,000 boxes at one time, and what you want is a daily unsold pocket electronic pet like Kentalo. Daqian naturally delivered the things as fast as possible.

"I don't believe it anymore. There is really such a metaphysics..." The little fat man muttered, opened and hatched the first Kentalo, and then had nothing.

Soon, two or three hundred Kentay also smashed all of them.

"Look at it! It's a waste of time!" The little fat man sighed, and then activated another Kentaro with his hands very skillfully.

When the little fat man glanced at him and was about to throw away Kentaro, his eyebrows suddenly jumped.

Wait, I seemed to have seen something just now!

The little fat man suddenly grabbed Kentaro in his hand, stared at the screen and looked carefully several times, and then he jumped up instantly.

"Hey, I've won! I've won Kentra!!"

"Ph! I'm in a dream!!"

The little fat man danced and happily grabbed Kentay and jumped wildly. Many buyers around him gathered, looking at the little fat man enviously, he was really dreamy. This is so lucky!

"Little guy, do you still want the rest of Kentaro? If you don't want it, I'll return the money to you!" The boss saw that there were more than 600 Kentaros that had not been sold, and asked with some pain. If the fat man didn't want it, then Kentaros would all be smashed into his hands.

"I want it! I want it all!!" The little fat man felt that Kentello was simply his lucky star, so he bought it all immediately, and the boss smiled.

He suddenly realized that it wouldn't matter if the little fat man didn't want this group of Kentaro, because the customers around him were staring at these Kentaros, and it seemed that they would not have to worry about selling them.

Finally, the fat man returned to his doorstep with sadness and joy. He was happy that he finally got dreamy, and he was sad that he had accumulated nearly 40,000 pocket electronic pets in his hands, and he would definitely not be able to serve these things.

Once the pocket electronic pet is activated, the value will be greatly reduced. The fat man doesn’t know how to deal with these pocket TV pets.

It is absolutely impossible to take it home. If my mother finds out that these are free and spends $40,000 to buy pocket electronic pets, I will definitely be killed by my mother.

So the fat man could only bring these activated pocket electronic pets back to the company.

Because the number of 4,000 units is too large, the fat man had to hire a small car to help him pull the things over.

"What are you doing with so many pocket electronic pets?" Conan West, editor-in-chief of "Game Life", asked with a frown.

"It's nothing, I just borrow the company's warehouse to save it for me..." the little fat man sighed.

"You're going to have a dream!" Conan West was not stupid. Seeing so many pocket electronic pets, he naturally understood what the fat man was doing.

"Yes!" the little fat man nodded.

"Have you been beaten?" Conan West asked curiously.

"I'm beaten!" The little fat man smiled and took out his dream, and then told the story that happened just now. Conan West immediately said with some envy, "Yes, I got the dream after spending less than 40,000 US dollars. You are at least much luckier than those who spent more than 100,000 US dollars!"

"Hey! It's just that I can feel more comfortable if I think about it, otherwise I will really have the desire to die!" The little fat man sighed.

"But Kentello is too metaphysical!" Conan West rolled his eyes and said, "You have more than 600 unactivated Kentello left, so why not sell them all to me!"

"Okay!" The little fat man actually regretted taking back all these Kentaros. Could it be that he still hoped that there would be another dream in the remaining Kentaro? Isn't this a waste of money?

So when he heard that Conan West was planning to take over, he immediately agreed without hesitation.

Conan West smiled, then took a Kentaro, pressed the button to activate, and a pet egg with auspicious cloud icon appeared on the electronic screen immediately...

"Hey, I seem to be hit too!!" Conan West said with a bad smile.

"Oh my God! What kind of evil did I do?" Seeing Conan West's first move, he entered his soul and started a dream. The little fat man really wanted to commit suicide.

Fortunately, when Conan West drove all the remaining Kentello, it only took such a dream to make the little fat man feel a little more comfortable, but it was still very uncomfortable.

Why did he spend more than 30,000 US dollars to get a dream? Conan West cut his own leak and actually got a dream!

Just when the little fat man was worried, Conan West smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Little fat man, I think it's time for our magazine to publish a supplementary issue! The title is, Kentello's mysterious metaphysics, what do you think?"

————————————

"The Chairman, because of this issue of magazine, Kentay, who had originally had the most serious stocks, cleared all the inventory overnight. If the number of Kentay sent by the head office was not large, the sales would probably be second only to Pikachu!" Jack Orence explained the reason to Boss Jia with a wry smile.

It turned out that after the release of the supplement to "Game Life", everyone believed in the rumors that the chance of dreams in Kentello was high.

"These guys... really discovered..." Jack Orence thought this was just an accident, but Boss Jia knew that this was a mistake by Daqian.

When setting up Dream, one was originally set for every 10,000 units.

However, due to program errors, about three weeks ago, 100 Dreams were set up in one breath.

Because Pokemon of the same kind was produced together, all of these 100 dreams fell into Kentel.

As a result, when Daqian discovered this problem, all of the Kentaro had been sent to the US market. However, at this time, Kentaro entered a state of severe unsalable sales, and it was piled up all in the warehouse, and no one sold it in a short period of time.

However, it was discovered by the game editor in the end, and it was written into the game strategy openly, which led to Kentello's big sale. Then the buyers really found that the chance of Kentello shipment was very high.

So this is not metaphysics at all, but the slander of programmers.

But Boss Jia obviously would not expose all this, but secretly ordered Daqian to more than double the chance of Kentaro shipment, and then produce Kentaro in large quantities.

The result was that in the next one or two years, the sales of other pocket electronic pets plummeted, but Kentaro's sales remained unchanged, and eventually surpassed Pikachu and became the most popular pocket electronic monster.

Later, this gradually turned into a meme. Whenever there was a metaphysical card draw, players habitually mocked, "Do you think you are Kentaro!"

Kentello, the lower-level Pokemon, who was not very popular in his previous life, has also become one of the most popular Pokemon in this era. There is no way, the people of the world have too high a favor for Kentello!
