I’m selling through official channels, not running out of stock, and you flip it and make over twenty grand?
You think everyone is an idiot, huh?
Wang Xing shook his head speechlessly.
Even other companies that engage in high price gouging at least package it with various concepts and rhetoric to make their products seem unique and worth the price.
Who else pulls something without even pretending a bit?
If you must point out the only difference, it’s that Wu Mu’s batch will have his personal logo added, barely qualifying as a co-branded edition.
But who do you think you are, LV? Slap your name on it and gouge people for twenty thousand?
You’re just a celebrity; do you even have that brand value?
Not just Wang Xing was speechless; everyone online quickly noticed that the Star Tree official store had identical items and were speechless too.
"I looked up this product, the official is also selling it, the exact same item, for only eight thousand eight! Wu turns it over and jacks up the price by twenty-one thousand!"
"Dumbass Wu, the only difference he has with that official store is adding his name, thinking his name is worth twenty-one thousand!?"
"Wu is ridiculously over the top every time, and I think we really need to support his anti-fans to make him leave the industry, else who knows how inflated he will get in the future, already thinking his name alone is worth twenty thousand... Everyone here is responsible!"
Everyone was shocked by this person’s antics.
Even more so when they discovered another baffling thing next.
Wu Mu’s product page updated... the update is... adding a link to the official store’s product page.
"....I see it now, Wu isn’t pretending at all, he’s just blatantly gouging, clearly writing that he thinks people who think they’re rich and dumb will just give him money."
"Dang, suddenly I feel Wu isn’t that bad, he’s so kind, I’m actually crying, he even reminds everyone before gouging that he’s cutting dumb money."
"Initially I was mad, but having seen that link, I’m not mad anymore, it’s perfect since I despise the rich and the dumb. If rich idiots want to be gouged, let them and we’ll enjoy the show."
"Go ahead and buy, those items, whoever buys them I’ll mock for a lifetime."
"Come on, people would buy that? He thinks whatever he does he’ll have fan support, right? Your thirty-thousand-dollar thing looks so greedy, who can really support that?"
Abstract, it’s just too abstract.
This whole maneuver is so bizarre that no one can comprehend what he’s doing.
To talk about gouging fans, this thing is so expensive, how many fans can and would want to support it?
To talk about gouging people who don’t understand, he directly added the link to the official store.
What is he even doing?
But no matter what, everyone felt that not many people would buy this product.
After all, the wealthy aren’t actually idiots.
Wu Mu glanced over his Weibo comments, muttering to himself.
He jacked up the prices so high firstly to ensure his profit margin, after all, he was truly using up his Performance Cards, and while the goods cost nothing, the Performance Cards did.
Earning less meant a loss!
The second reason was precisely to weed out the unworthy.
Yes, raising the price was actually good for them!
If he had only priced slightly above the official price, perhaps people would buy it just for his name, among them could be many who held a good impression of him, or even his direct fans.
But he increased the price manyfold, over twenty thousand more than the original price, and even put the official website link up, anyone who still buys for him... that’s true love.

Because it’s so outrageous, normal people wouldn’t go for it, only those who really need it, or don’t care about such a small price difference would.
Selling this also sort of helps promote Star Tree Company, although they didn’t accept his investment, no big deal, he wasn’t really out to make money from the investment, just satisfying a minor hobby.
Anyway, Wu Mu never gouges!
After reading the discussions online, Wu Mu opened the system panel.
Eleven ten-million-worth Performance Cards, keeping three as a backup, the rest are to be used up.
[Would you like to use the Performance Cards to endorse "Wu Mu Lifehouse"?]
After using up eight Performance Cards, Wu Mu fiddled with his phone for a while, and quickly saw that the products started to slowly sell out.
Somewhere in Xiao Cheng, Xiao Guo watching a video on Douyin, frowned slightly.
Another piece of news about Wu Mu?
Why did he feel like big data was targeting him?
Lately, he stumbled upon more and more about this guy.
"Was it because Xiao Qin mentioned his name here last time, then the microphone picked it up?"
Looking at the video featuring a robot dog navigating obstacles, doing flips, even recognizing its owner’s location, accompanying the owner for walks, and supporting custom programming of actions, he was unmistakably tempted.
Big data really gets him!
Unable to resist, Xiao Guo flipped out the product link for the robot dog shown in the video.
But after seeing the thirty thousand price tag, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
He did not lack thirty thousand, after all, with his family’s properties from demolitions, earning rent from several apartments in just a few days.
But spending so much for a toy that seemed like a remote control car, and only playing with it for a while, didn’t really match his spending philosophy.
