Man Commits Suicide over Iphone 6 Price Drop

Sep 30, 2014

A young man in Zhengzhou committed suicide on September 28 allegedly over the sudden and dramatic drop in Iphone 6 prices.

The man was a mobile phone salesman and had been hoarding a large number of Iphone 6’s, no doubt waiting for the price to increase.

However, contrary to his predictions, the price has been falling continuously for the past three days, meaning the man lost an estimated 100 million RMB.

He committed suicide by jumping from the 19th floor of Zhengzhou Communications Xintiandi at approximately 16:30.

too many profiteers selling iphone 6 & 6+ on the grey market in china are also technically stupid. because they weren't officially approved for sale in china weeks after they went on sale in other countries, these profiteers would pay mules to line up in other countries and buy the devices with cash and then bring them to china for hoarding to speculate on inflated demand and spike in prices. the problem is, besides apple getting the official approval to sell and thus undermine the grey market, the respective versions of the 6 & 6+ for the prc market are different from the ones sold in other countries. the 6 & 6+ that work best in china have chipset variants that are capable of operating at frequencies compatible with air interface technologies such as sc-tdma (china mobile 3g) and td-lte (4g lte in china). :rolleyes:

Walau got 100 million still do this kind of stupid thing?

Even the price drop, he is still a RMB millionaire.

Millionaire still want to commit suicide? Double stupidity.

Majority are earning min wage and struggling to survive.

Chink and money are really tight together...

He would be smarter if he buy shares of apple rather than their phones if he has $20 million to buy.

All electronic goods depreciate in price over time, some more rapidly than others.

Stupid Tiong should be hoarding artwork, antiques and fine wine instead.

What a nation of gong kias... the same type who would lie naked in the middle of a busy road to 'prove' his love for some stuck up hussy. :rolleyes:

i suspect the story is fake....there is no way someone who can accumulate 100 million rmb could be that stupid....we all know these fads have a extremely short life span,like the hello kitty toys that went on the black market for $30,$50 for a few weeks before prices plummeted and people lost interest.besides....if he bought the iphones from retailers at retail price how much could he lose?at the most he can simply unload his stock for retail price or 5% below retail price and recoup his cost.

not all electronic goods depreciate in price over time,i believe some apple II computers are worth tens of multiples their original value,especially if u can prove they still have their original parts and not replacements.
