In economics, there is a professional term called sunk cost, which means the cost lost in order to achieve something but eventually fail.
Take the little fat man as an example. He spent 30000 dollars to draw dreams. If he gave up, that 30000 dollars would be wasted, and the cost would sink to the bottom of the sea, so this is called sunk cost.
If the little fat man had known that he would not ship $30000, he would never want to smoke a dream.
But now he has smoked $30000. If he gives up at this time, all the $30000 will be wasted. This is absolutely unacceptable to little fat people.
"Give me another 100!" finally, the little fat man could only say with red eyes, just like a gambler.
"Little fellow, or you can buy more kentello!" the grocer couldn't see it anymore and offered to suggest.
"Why?" the little fat man asked puzzled.
"Because there are two dreams in my shop, which are hatched from kentello's eggs!" said the boss.
"Boss, you are metaphysical and unscientific. The official said that everything is random and has nothing to do with kentello!" the little fat man muttered.
"It's up to you..." the boss was too lazy to persuade again, but the little fat man's expression changed and changed. Finally, he said, "well, boss, will you help me get 1000 kentellos?"
"OK! It's just a phone call!" the boss smiled, and then called Daqian. After a while, someone specially sent 1000 boxes of kentello's pocket electronic pets.
After all, it's a big list to ask for 1000 boxes at a time, and it's still kentello, a daily unsalable pocket electronic pet. Daqian naturally sent things over at the fastest speed.
"I don't believe it. There's really such a metaphysics..." the little fat man muttered, opened the first kentello again, and then there was nothing.
Soon, two or three hundred kentello shots were all smashed.
"You see! It's a waste of time!" the little fat man sighed, and then activated a kentello with his hands very skillfully.
The little fat man glanced slightly and was about to throw away the kentello. His eyebrows suddenly jumped.
Wait, I think I saw something just now!
The little fat man suddenly caught the kentello in his hand, stared at the screen carefully for several times, and then the whole person jumped up in an instant.
"Hey, I'm in! I'm in kentello!!"
"Bah! I'm in a dream!!"
The little fat man danced and danced happily holding the kentello. Many buyers gathered around him and looked at the little fat man with envy. He was really in a dream. It's too lucky!
"Little fellow, do you want the rest of kentello? If not, I'll return the money to you!" the boss asked with some pain when he saw that there were more than 600 kentello that had not been sold. If the little fat man didn't want it, all of them would have been smashed in his hand.
"Yes! I'll take it all!!" the little fat man thought kentello was his lucky star. He immediately bought all of them, and the boss smiled.
He suddenly found that it didn't matter even if the little fat man didn't want these kentellos, because the surrounding customers looked at these kentellos covetously and seemed not to worry about selling.
Finally, the little fat man returned to his home with sadness and joy. He was glad that he finally got a dream. Sadly, he accumulated nearly 40000 pocket electronic pets in his hands. These things must not be able to serve him.
Once pocket electronic pets are activated, their value will be greatly reduced. Little fat people don't know how to deal with these pocket TV pets.
It's absolutely impossible to take it home. If my mother finds out that these are free and spends $40000 on pocket electronic pets, I'll be killed by my mother.
So the little fat man can only bring these activated pocket electronic pets back to the company.
Because the number of 40000 units is too large, the little fat man had to hire a car to help him pull things over.
"What are you doing with so many pocket electronic pets?" Conan West, editor in chief of game life, asked with a frown.
"Nothing, just borrow the company's warehouse to save it for me..." the little fat man sighed.
"You're going to smoke dreams!" Conan West is not stupid. Seeing so many pocket electronic pets, he naturally knows what the little fat man is doing.
"Hmm!" the little fat man nodded.
"Did you win?" Conan West asked curiously.
"Yes!" the little fat man smiled and took out his dream, and then told the story that had just happened. Conan West immediately said with envy, "yes, you can get your dream for less than $40000. At least you are much luckier than those who spent more than $100000!"
"Hey! Just think about it like this, I'm more comfortable, otherwise I really want to die!" the little fat man sighed.
"But kentello is too mysterious!" Conan West turned his eyes and said, "you still have more than 600 inactive kentello. Why don't you sell them all to me!"
"OK!" the little fat man actually regretted taking all these kentello back. Could he expect another dream to come out of the remaining kentello? Isn't this a waste of money?
So when he heard that Conan West was going to take the offer, he immediately agreed without hesitation.
Conan West smiled, then took a kentello, pressed the button to activate, and a pet egg with an auspicious cloud icon immediately appeared on the electronic screen
"Well, I seem to have won too!!" Conan West said with a bad smile.
"God! What evil have I done!" seeing Conan West's first hand, he went into his soul and made a dream. The little fat man really wanted to commit suicide.
But fortunately, when Conan West finished driving all the remaining kentello, he just had such a dream to make the little fat man more comfortable, but it was still very uncomfortable.
Why did he spend more than $30000 to get a dream, and Conan West cut his leak and got a dream!
Just when the little fat man was angry, Conan West smiled and said, "little fat man, I think it's time for our magazine to issue a supplement! The title is kentello's mystery. What do you think?"
————————————
"Chairman, it is because of this magazine that kentello, which originally had the most serious inventory, emptied all its inventory overnight. If the number of kentello sent by the head office was not large, I'm afraid its sales would be second only to Picchu!" Jack Orens explained the reason to boss Jia with a bitter smile.
It turned out that after the release of the supplement of game life, everyone believed the rumor that there was a high chance of dreams in kentello.
"These guys... Really found..." Jack Orens thought it was just an accident, but boss Jia knew it was a mistake of Daqian.
When setting the dream, it was originally one for every 10000 units.
But because of a program error, about three weeks ago, 100 dreamers were set up at one go.
Because the Pokemon of the same kind was produced together, all the 100 dreams fell into kentello.
As a result, by the time Daqian found the problem, all these kentellos had been sent to the American market. However, at this time, kentello entered a serious unsalable state, and all of it was piled up in the warehouse. No one sold it in a short time.
However, it was discovered by the game editor in chief before the end. It was openly written into the game strategy, which led to a big sale of kentello. Then the buyers really found that the probability of kentello shipping was high.
So this is not metaphysics at all, but the pot of pit dad's programmers.
But boss Jia obviously won't expose all this. Instead, he secretly ordered Daqian to solidly double the delivery probability of kentello, and then mass produce kentello.
As a result, in the next year or two, the sales of other pocket electronic pets fell sharply, but kentello's sales remained unchanged, and finally surpassed Pikachu and became the most popular pocket electronic monster.
Later, this gradually evolved into a stem. Whenever there was a metaphysical card drawing related, players habitually mocked, "you think you are kentello!"
The bottom Pokemon kentello, who was not popular in his previous life, has also become one of the most popular Pokemon in this era. There is no way. People all over the world have a high liking for kentello!
