At this time, everyone who is following this online auction is looking forward to the official start of the press conference.

Eighteen sets of products, 709 people signed up for the auction, and received a deposit of 35 billion in half an hour. One of the news that was enough to attract attention was exposed, and this press conference naturally became more and more eye-catching. Even Penguin.com, one of the three major portals in China, specially made a headline topic for this auction, "The Real Value of Virtual Reality Technology" to discuss this phenomenon-level product.

The topics range from the initial global auction to the controversial pricing, to the popularity of products abroad, and have cited many online commentators, support and dissatisfaction, and have successfully sparked controversy among netizens and attracted countless attention to this press conference.

Now everyone has only one focus on a round, which is exactly the issue we discussed in the backstage of Starry Sky Technology. What kind of sky-high price can these eighteen sets of smart homes be sold today? Such a big momentum in the early stage has aroused everyone's curiosity. Now it depends on whether these registered buyers are good.

However, just as everyone was watching the time pass by minute by minute, a Weibo account suddenly revealed that Prince Wang’s car was parked in the parking lot of T3, Beijing Airport, and news that it was suspected of being picked up suddenly spread throughout the Internet.

Prince Wang’s car is easy to recognize, and it is still the Phantom I ordered with Tang Sen before. He and Tang Sen bought two of this global limited edition car in the entire capital. Now all Chinese people know that Tang Sen is abroad at this time, so the car at the airport can naturally be Prince Wang.

Sure enough, not long after, countless photos of Prince Wang contacting an Asian in the parking lot were uploaded to the Internet. Obviously, the guy who was picked up should not be a distinguished guest, because Prince Wang did not go directly to the airport to pick him up, but just waited in the parking lot. However, when Starry Sky Technology is paying attention to the high price of smart home products, Prince Wang, as the chairman, actually went to the airport to pick him up, which makes people wonder who this guy is!

Unfortunately, the guy who found Prince Wang and uploaded the photos was obviously not a professional reporter. He didn't take the main shots clearly at all, and he didn't take the front face of the mysterious character at all. This made many media confused and began to speculate which important person could get Prince Wang to pick him up. After all, if he learned about the identity of this mysterious character, he would be able to dig out any big news.

Of course, these can only be topics of gossip at this time, and the public's attention is mainly focused on this auction.

...

At 10:40 in the morning, the auction officially started, and at this time, the backend data of the official website of Starry Sky Technology showed that the netizens who were following the auction had reached more than 7 million. Fortunately, I considered that if it attracted onlookers, it would lead to a poor auction process. Therefore, the real auction process was completed on the server provided by Alipay, and the latest quotation was only displayed immediately, which did not make the technical department staff flee.

However, when the auction began, an accident happened.

The synchronous bidding numbers seen on the official website are completely pounding in disorder. Often, a price is refreshed by the next number within 2 seconds after it is given. This directly leads to onlookers not knowing what the price is now given for five minutes after the auction officially begins.

I knew it was a bidding, but I didn’t know it was a stopwatch reading...

"Are you mistaken? What's going on? System bug or is it too fierce for bidding?"

"I'll just slap it. Is it too fierce? I just saw that it was still seven-digit numbers, why did there be one more in the blink of an eye?"

"In fact, the highest position has not changed much, mainly about one hundred thousand. Is this a stopwatch?"

...

At this time, the Alipay backend was also busy.

"What's going on now?"

Ouyang Chen personally called the Alipay backend.

"The bidding jumped too fast. There were too many participants, and more than a few hundred people made quotations at the same time, which led to a bit unstable system processing. I didn't expect that there were too many bidders before. Now we are facing a situation where there are thousands of bids for each set of equipment, especially the first set. Everyone is testing, and there is no one-time increase in price, which has caused this current situation. What's more, each set of products only has ten minutes of bidding time, and it is estimated that this will happen to the next set of products." Chen Zhiqiang, who is responsible for the technical support of this cooperation, said with a headache.

In fact, it is really not a fault that Alipay cannot keep up with the technical support. On the contrary, because it attaches great importance to this cooperation with Starry Sky Technology, Alipay has also sent the best technical team to be responsible for the technical support. Therefore, the support is too sufficient, so that the auction amount in the background almost appears on the official website at the same time. According to the previous auction rules, the price increase starts from 100,000 yuan each time, which causes this situation.

"What should I do next? Isn't it a bit abnormal? Otherwise, we will temporarily change the rules and double the auction time of each device?" Ouyang Chen obviously understood Chen Zhiqiang's explanation and asked hesitantly. However, before he could wait for Chen Zhiqiang's answer, he heard a series of screams from the other side.

"It's over 30 million, and it's over 30 million. Someone has increased the price by 16.8 million at one time..."

Before he could come back to his senses, Chen Zhiqiang's urgent words came again, "No, this situation may be more exciting to your potential users. Congratulations to President Ouyang, the first set of equipment was sold at a high price of 30 million. I believe that another sales miracle can be created today! In this way, I am still very busy here, so I will hang up first!"

"Well, okay, then you guys are busy!" Ouyang Chen nodded subconsciously, then looked at the big screen not far away. Sure enough, the current bidding price has reached 30 million!"

At this time, the bidding amount displayed on the official website of Starry Sky Technology was finally no longer as exaggerated as it was just jumping, and it was temporarily set at 30 million. Ouyang Chen subconsciously looked at the time. Five minutes and thirteen seconds after the first set of equipment began to auction. The first set of equipment only took about half of the time to reach the highest point of his psychological expected price. Ouyang Chen once again felt a little unrealistic. Will this price still jump?

...

Netizens who were watching this auction on the Internet finally breathed a sigh of relief. The number that kept beating just now was so dazzling. Until this moment, the number was frozen for more than ten seconds, everyone finally understood what was going on before!
