“The response is very hot.”

A 20 million won advertisement event held in a street crowded with young people became a hot topic among people.

Even though it was an event held across the country, there was not a single successful person except for the case of hiding and participating in the Awakening for over two weeks.

At this point, people started to be more interested in the shield than winning the prize.

“Did you notice that the product is a bag?”

Kim Deok-bae nodded and said.

“Yes. Most of us are speculating whether the bag is related to this event or not.”

According to Lim Jun-il’s insistence, the provision of information was minimized to give an experience through experience rather than direct information, but there were many hints that the bag was the purpose of the event.

It’s almost over as you have to break through the shield and get your bag to win the prize.

“What about design evaluation? It looked pretty to me.”

“It is highly praised.”

“OK.”

Both the design and the function, the situation is popular with people.

When this was released, it was clear that there would be an unconditional out-of-stock crisis.

“I’ll have to make it in advance, so I don’t run out of stock.”

“By the way, Chairman, shouldn’t we engrave the command line you made on the inside of this bag?”

“Yes. So I made it in advance.”

“Are you planning to make this by having a skeleton later?”

“I don’t know if it’s really difficult because there is so much production, but for the time being, I will do it myself.”

If you want to engrave a magic circle using a skeleton, you have to make another tool that can engrave the magic circle.

In addition, the skeletons copy the same magic circle and print thousands of them in an instant, but only one shield magic is enough to lie down and eat rice cakes.

“Then it would be safe to promote this bag as it was made by the president himself.”

“Are you going to promote that I made it myself?”

“Yes. In addition to the superiority of using a bag made by Chairman Han Ji-hyeok, who is an SS-level awakened, it will give the chairman a feeling of being directly protected.”

“Five! It’s okay.”

Of course, this is a promotional phrase that means nothing to me.

Considering the sincerity put in by the skeletons that Ceron Group is operating in tens of thousands of units in the first place, it was rather a lot of work.

But from the point of view of the buyer, the feeling is bound to be different.

“And we plan to limit the initial quantity to just 2,000 pieces.”

“Maintain scarcity by controlling the quantity?”

“Of course that is the reason, but rather the price.”

“Why the price? Is it too expensive?”

Then Kim Deok-bae shook his head and said.

“It is the opposite. It’s too cheap.”

“Eh?”

Two thousand is cheap?

“Do you know what a typical luxury bag costs? It’s only 15 percent.”

“Is that enough?”

“Luxury is, after all, the price of a name. On the other hand, what about us? In addition to artificial water, the premium leather and royalty of designer Lim Jun-il are considered, and the price is close to 10 million won. If we add various distribution and marketing costs to this, our profit will be further reduced. That’s why we’re selling it in limited quantities of 2,000 pieces each.”

Kim Deok-bae said with a confident expression.

“To raise the price with each new release.”

I said with my eyes shining.

“Are our bags the cheapest right now?”

“It is correct.”

The obvious function of the shield and the outstanding design.

In addition, if the price of a product with a certain selling point that the chairman of the conglomerate and the SS-level awakener made himself, the price goes up every time a new quantity is released, from the perspective of people, the idea that it is advantageous to buy it as soon as possible will prevail.

Of course, the more we do, the more our bags will be sold out.

“If the bags continue to sell out like that, our position as a luxury item will become even stronger.”

I said raising my thumb.

“Good good. I will trust only the vice president, so do it yourself.”

“All right.”

I looked at the calendar and rubbed my hands.

“There are two weeks left.”

In the next two weeks, the shield bag will appear gorgeously at a fashion show named Junil Lim.

I said with a bright smile.

“Let’s try the luxury bag market.”

*

A famous influencer who was invited to Im Jun-il’s fashion show.

But her interests went beyond fashion shows.

“It’s today… where are you going to release it?”

The event that was suddenly hosted by Seron was a hot topic in Jangan.

A bag that creates a transparent shield to protect its owner.

Of course, it is a guess because there is not much publicly available information, but if it is true, it was the most necessary item for her who became a star by sharing her daily life on social media.

“There’s no way you can stop all the people who are fans and come in contact with you. It’s also natural.”

She gained fame and made a lot of money by sharing her daily life, but ironically, that fame broke the routine that made her famous.

Too many people recognized her, so she couldn’t live a normal life itself, and some of them even approached her with an insidious inside.

But if you have a bag like this, you can protect yourself anytime, anywhere, so you can live in peace.

“The design is pretty. oh I want it soon.”

The fashion show started in earnest while I was thinking about something else.

She looked at the models intently and said with a surprised expression when she saw the bags the models were carrying.

“uh!”

The bag is the one she had been wanting to buy just before.

At that time, a reaction similar to her exploded around her.

“It’s that bag!”

“Shield!”

“Was it possible to reveal it here?”

She and the people around her were bewildered because there was no word in advance, but such embarrassment soon turned into joy.

To make it public here means to have the opportunity to see and buy the real thing in person today.

After that, the clothes keep changing, but the bags don’t change, the models keep coming out with the same thing.

The fashion show was all over with people’s anticipation.

Then Lim Jun-il appeared from behind the stage with a bag.

“Nice to meet you. This is Im Jun-il.”

Lim Jun-il looked around and said.

“Did you enjoy the fashion show?”

That’s what people said.

“It was great!”

“I’m also a designer.”

Then Lim Jun-il said with a smirk.

“Then I’m glad. But I know well. What do you care more about now than anything else?”

Lim Jun-il said as he picked up his bag.

“Isn’t this bag?”

Lim Jun-il said as he slowly walked down the runway with his bag.

“Why did I reveal this bag at my fashion show? The reason is simple. Because this bag was designed by me.”

At those words, the influencer said with a twinkle in his eyes.

“Is it even designed by Im Jun-il? crazy awesome.”

“Where is that? Ceron Group Chairman Han Ji-hyeok also participated in making this bag. Chairman Han personally drew a command line on this bag to add a shield, a function we call a shield. This bag was designed by me and made one by one by the chairman himself. That’s what this bag you’ve been looking for.”

At those words, all the invited people chattered and said.

“Is that great? Did one president make it himself?”

“It’s a shield bag made by the chairman of a conglomerate who is an SS-level awakened by himself. How can you stand this?”

Lim Jun-il said, enjoying the reactions of such people.

“The performance test has already been done enough elsewhere, so I will not do it separately. I’m just going to say one thing for sure, except for the Awoken, that no ordinary person can break through this Shield Bag. Of course, you can’t stop the gun. haha.”

Lim Jun-il, who threw such a light joke, said.

“The initial quantity is 2,000 pieces. Among them, we will give the opportunity to purchase one of the 200 or so attendees first. The rest of the products will be sold in department stores soon. ruler. That’s a long talk.”

Lim Jun-il said as he picked up his bag.

“We will start selling the first sealed bag of Protege, a luxury brand created by the Ceron Group.”

*

Protégé, a brand newly launched by Ceron as a luxury bag.

Protégé means to keep in French.

I just picked it because it seemed like there was something to do in French.

Anyway, Protage’s shield bag, which was officially launched like that, aroused tremendous interest, starting with Lim’s fashion show.

All of the attendees are well-known celebrities, whether on social media or in the entertainment industry, and since they were given their first shield bag, there is no way they could sit still.

Celebrities who authenticate the shield bag on their social media, produce a performance test video in addition to it, and promote it on their behalf.

Naturally, the more celebrities praised the celebrities, the more their possession of the bag soared.

And the first offline store of Protige that was officially opened at Apgujeong Department Store, receiving such attention.

And the result is of course…

“The 600 pieces prepared for the sale on the first day were sold out.”

sold out quickly

600 in just 2 hours.

“Incredible.”

“Actually, it was predictable. Since yesterday evening, the number of people who have set up a tent and waited has already surpassed 500 for a long time.”

People waiting since the day before to buy bags.

Of course, there are many re-sellers among them, but the fact that there are re-sellers is just proof that there are so many people who want them.

“Now, we are planning to sell only 200 pieces a day, sell all the first batch, wait 3 weeks, then sell the second batch at 2,200.

The final amount that Kim Deok-bae thinks is 3,000.

If it is lower than this, the value as a luxury item will be damaged, and if it is higher than this, the amount of access is too low.

I was also satisfied with the profitability as well.

“Are there any complaints about the shield?”

“It is not at all. For example, when there are a lot of objects around, there are complaints about the shield being distorted to fit the shape of the objects.”

When making this shield bag, if there is an obstacle in the shield area that prevents it from being created, I devised it so that it comes out with a distorted shape.

It was made in consideration of the characteristics of modern society with many obstacles around it.

But it’s just the way it looks, and there’s no problem with the protection ability, but it seems that such dissatisfaction has arisen because it was bought by luxury people who value appearances.

“That’s a cosmetic problem, and you can recast it in an unobstructed area, so what’s the deal? Just ignore it.”

“All right.”

“Anything else?”

“There is not.”

I said with a smirk.

“It’s good.”

When the Protégé is completely established as a luxury product, all kinds of shield luxury goods are mass produced.

“If you see the Protege logo, we want to make it to a level that you wouldn’t even dare to touch.”

“of course. oh And I watched an experiment video on Nutube, and there was a video of blocking the rain with a shield.”

“Is it raining?”

“Yes. Why not apply that idea and make a hands-free shielded umbrella?”

“Oh oh! That’s good!”

By weakening the strength, it creates a shield only on the top and uses it as an umbrella.

Isn’t this the ultimate king of practicality?

Of course, it is a magic weapon that consumes magical power every time it blocks rain, but it is not a problem since only people with the financial means to afford it in the first place will buy it.

“OK. Let’s do that for the next lineup.”

*

As the initial supply ran out due to the sold-out procession of the shield bag, and the second quantity began to sell for 2,200, the frenzy grew stronger.

A shield bag that is sold out in every family, with the price of resellers rising thanks to the promise that the Protage will openly raise the price in the future, saying that the cost ratio is high.

The next thing that appeared at that time was the hands-free shield bag.

It is a product with an umbrella function added to the existing shield bag, and the price is a whopping 30 million won.

Of course, this too was sold out as soon as it came out, raising the name of the Protégé even more.

Since then, Protege has continued to release new lineups such as men’s shield bags.

As I was cruising so smoothly, I heard an annoying news in my ears.

“Fake?”

A fake that appeared in a situation where the sales exceeded 100 billion won in a month in Korea alone and they are marching like crazy.

Of course, he didn’t know that fakes would appear.

For those who longed for the safety of the Protégé logo, but had no money, the best alternative was a fake.

However, I had already made up my mind to just tolerate any level of falsity.

Unlike the existing luxury goods, the products of Protege, which can cast shield, were so easy to distinguish between genuine and fake, that the damage caused by counterfeiting was not expected to be large. Being a buyer, I decided to just let it go.

So, when fakes become a hot topic, I interviewed and launched Protege to make everyone feel safe. Even though it is a fake logo, if people can be safe from crime with that logo, I will be satisfied and pretend to be a good person in the world… This fake is a different story.

“Did you cheat and sell it as the real thing?”

I understand even selling fakes as fakes.

It is a natural desire for people to feel the value of luxury goods with a small amount of money.

In addition, there is a perception that criminals can’t touch it when using Protégé’s products, so it will be even more so.

That’s why I tried to condone it, but selling fakes as genuine products has crossed the line for a long time.

It’s like stealing money from our prospective customers.

“Yes. They pretended to be resale and sold it as a genuine product.”

“These bastards…”

Dare to steal my clients’ money?

I haven’t even shaved yet?

“Report to the police and release the person. If you need an Awakened, ask the Guild Leader Park In-gwi.”

“All right.”

Kim Deok-bae, too, said with a cold face that he was very angry when someone interfering with his project appeared.

“I will teach you who you dare to touch.”
