Midnight in winter, the cold rain is dripping, and it is bitingly cold.
There are still 16 minutes left before the 11th. The spacious hall on the first floor of Hailong Building is surrounded by heaters and crowded with people.
Not only the staff of Feigou.com, but also the media from Yanjing and Shanghai were invited to gather here.
Meng Meijing followed Bian Zhihong, shuttled among the crowd as "Sanlian Life Weekly", and kept sighing:
"How much does it cost for carriage and horse transportation?"
"People have great careers, but they still care about these things."
Bian Zhihong looked around. The two-story turntable in the center of the hall was filled with a variety of snacks, drinks, cakes and snacks.
Ahead, beyond rows of criss-crossed plastic chairs, there is a large stage with a red carpet, bright lights, and a huge LED display that scrolls through Double Eleven themed pictures.
There are 4 camera positions on the left and right sides, shooting 180 degrees without blind spots, and will operate simultaneously with the satellite vehicle outside the building later.
This scene doesn’t even exist in the Spring Festival Gala. I’ve never seen it before!
The two of them, the master and the disciple, have witnessed with their own eyes that Mr. Lu started from a humble beginning, from nothing to something, from small to big, from weak to strong, and reached the highest level step by step.
"Teacher Bian, doesn't the Optoelectronics Bureau prohibit illegal leasing and transfer of radio and television broadcast time slots? Why can it be broadcast live for Feigou.com?"
Meng Meijing looked around and asked quietly.
"This is Mr. Lu's cleverness and strength. He cooperated with Yanjing TV in the name of special programs. Anyway, it is the midnight period and there is no ratings."
Teacher Bian looked up and saw everyone at Feigou.com wearing uniform red vests with Double Eleven printed on the front and the company's logo on the north side.
In the vast sea of people, this hot man stands out from the crowd.
"Confirm again one last time to ensure that the Led screen can receive data in real time and the delay is controlled within 10 seconds."
Lu Fei and the director team checked every detail of the scene. When they confirmed that everything was correct, the countdown started on the display screen.
10 minutes!
In an instant, the media slowly took their seats, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.
"A Fei, the statistics are out."
Xu Lei walked in a hurry and approached him like the wind, "Because the transaction volume is dynamic, it can only be intercepted up to 11 o'clock."
"That's enough. The main thing is to let us have some peace of mind."
Lu Fei glanced at the statistics table with a relaxed expression, focusing on the finale and the stage.
lmusic2, the total number of pre-orders is 81,200 units.
fantasy2, the total number of pre-orders is 173,400 units.
The total number of pre-orders for each model of Shenzhou Computer is 187,100 units.
The total number of broadband subscribers of China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom is 134,600...
"The transaction volume this time is conservatively estimated at eighty-nine billion. There is a slight possibility that it will exceed one billion, but this probability is not high to be honest."
Xu Lei couldn't control his emotions and spoke excitedly.
"People must have dreams, and the Internet must dare to dream!"
Lu Fei rubbed his mouth, "How about we make a bet? I bet it can break 1 billion this time."
Xu Lei said happily: "Okay, what's the bet?"
"Hey, if you win, give me another bottle of tiger bone wine."
"Did you drink up half the bottle I gave you last time? Brother, you have to take care of your body. You are overdrawn at a young age. In the future..."
"roll!"
Lu Fei rolled his eyes, "I'm keeping that half bottle, I'm just planning for the future."
Xu Lei laughed and agreed. Even if he lost the bet, he didn't want to ask for much. He just wanted an idea and would save some money with a few friends.
As the two clapped their hands and made a contract, the host took his place on stage.
Both men and women are from Yangma. Cross-stage hosting is originally prohibited by Yangma, but there are special circumstances.
The man is Sabei Ning, an old acquaintance.
The woman, named Li Hong, hosts "Cross the Strait".
Xu Lei was stunned for a moment by such intellectual beauty.
He murmured: "A Fei, my brother seems to be in love."
"I can see that if you take your pig brother away, your saliva will flow out."
Just after Lu Fei made a joke, he saw the director team starting to make gestures and immediately stopped talking.
With the sound of "start", the whole place fell into silence.
Sabei Ning and Li Hong made opening remarks together, reporting on Feigou.com’s performance during last year’s Double Eleven, and their words were filled with rainbows.
“Now I’d like to invite Lu Fei, Chairman of Feigou.com, to come on stage!”
"Hello Xiaosa, hello Li Hong."
Mr. Lu stepped on the BGM of "God of Gamblers", dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and walked out in style, standing in the middle of the hosts.
"Mr. Lu, on Double Eleven in 2002, the transaction volume of 100 million shocked the whole country, but Feigou said that it did not show its true strength and only had 10% of its capabilities."
Li Hong cast an admiring look: "So this time, can you show your full strength?"
"If you try your best, you can only achieve 30%."
"Why is it only 30%?"
"Because of logistics problems and payment problems..."
Lu Fei followed the script and explained the reason. The time on the LED screen behind him was accurately stuck at one and a half minutes.
Sabei Ning asked: "10% is 100 million, how much is 30%?"
"One billion!"
Lu Fei stretched out a finger and spoke decisively.
As soon as he finished speaking, it was like a thunderbolt that exploded in a silent place. The whole audience, staff, media reporters, including the host on the stage, were all burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
1 billion? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Everyone whispered among themselves, doubting more than believing.
Mr. Lu, why don’t you follow the routine?
Sabei Ning couldn't help but smile bitterly. The line clearly said "500 million", but out of the corner of his eye he noticed that his partner Li Hong was as numb as if she had been struck by lightning.
"Okay! Then let us wait and see whether Mr. Lu's small goal of 1 billion will be achieved?"
Lu Fei then walked to a device packaged as a start button. At this moment, the screen on the big screen instantly switched to an animation of a clock, with the second hand moving second by second.
Baimengshu
"Now let's count down by 5, five! Four! Three! Two! One!
"
Sabei Ning said loudly: "Double Eleven has officially begun!
"
Lu Fei immediately pressed the button. In fact, it couldn't be pressed at all. It was just a fake prop. Do you understand the sense of ritual?
I saw the display screen switching to a new screen smoothly, a cartoon machine like a slot machine, a series of 10-digit "0", and suddenly, there was a change.
In 9 seconds, the transaction volume exceeded 1 million.
"What the fuck?" Xu Lei felt something was wrong.
In 3 minutes and 22 seconds, the transaction volume exceeded 10 million.
The constantly beating numbers were sparkling, and the rays of light blinded all the media in the audience. They stretched their necks one by one, looking intently, forgetting to record, forget to think, and forget the time.
At 17 minutes and 57 seconds, the eye-catching and huge "50 million" transaction volume was pierced in front of everyone's eyes, and they were completely dumbfounded——
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
"What the hell! What the hell!"
Xu Lei, like everyone else, couldn't sit still and jumped up from his chair excitedly. In less than half an hour, the data was already half of last year's transaction volume.
"Old Xu, is there any chance of 1 billion now?"
Lu Fei seemed calm, but his hands were shaking slightly.
"Yes, Gulu, yes, yes, yes, too much!"
Xu Lei felt that his brain was deprived of oxygen and his legs were weak. He could only hug Mr. Lu to stand still, "How about we seal a small red envelope? One or two hundred would be nice?"
"We treat everyone equally regardless of whether we are inside or outside the company."
Lu Fei touched his chin and said, "Two hundred will be given to each person. Now you can find the finance department to get the money. You can lead someone to send it to these media first. You can personally give Li Hong's share."
"good buddies!"
Xu Lei's eyes lit up and he gave a thumbs up in excitement.
In the festive atmosphere of money-spreading, thanks, screams, cheers, and applause came and went, endlessly.
"I wish Feigou.com will continue to prosper and exceed 1 billion on Double Eleven."
Meng Meijing accepted the red envelope with a smile and replied with auspicious words.
"Teacher Bian, this is your job...Teacher Bian? Teacher Bian?"
"Hehe, hehe..."
Bian Zhihong had slumped down on his chair, staring blankly at the numbers displayed on the LED screen——
100 million, followed by eight zeros.
But it only took 53 minutes and 19 seconds, less than an hour!
At this moment, Feigou went crazy and the media went crazy.
In the early morning of the 11th, it was destined to be a sleepless night. Countless reporters on the scene anxiously contacted the night editor.
The night editor urgently asked the editor-in-chief for instructions. The editor-in-chief, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, immediately summoned all members of the editorial department back for a meeting.
Go to sleep with your mother, wake up and be happy!
In fact, it’s not that I didn’t prepare a press release for Double Eleven. I had already written the frame content, filled in the numbers, and it would be published in the newspaper tomorrow morning. I never expected that my imagination was still not rich enough.
Selling 80,000 Shenzhou computers has touched their blind spot of knowledge, but Feigou.com always likes to dance in their blind spot, and their brains are already in the shape of Feigou.com.
200 million, 300 million...
Each number challenges the public’s nerves.
BBSs such as NetArt Blog, Sogou Tieba, QQ Group, Tianya Maopu, Shuimu Jingda, etc. have become a mess. Netizens stayed up all night, hotly discussing the limits of Feigou.com’s Double Eleven, and witnessed one record after another with their own eyes.
Birth.
Public opinion is fierce, and everyone is looking forward to breaking 1 billion!
As a result, Yanjing TV's zero-hour program, which had never had a ratings of less than 0.05%, was like a live broadcast room in later generations, with a sudden influx of audience traffic.
The ratings suddenly increased to 1%, what a miracle!
"How's our record?"
Lu Yun crossed his arms and sat in charge of Ali Baba, accompanying all the staff to stay up late and fight at night to hold their position.
Cai Chongxin was expressionless, "So far, the sales volume is 45.37 million, and the number of registered users has increased by 219,000..."
"It's 3:54 now."
Lu Yun's energy was greatly boosted, and his fatigue disappeared suddenly. "It's 5 million more than Feigou.com's data for the same period last year. Good! Very good! These 20 million were not in vain."
Cai Chongxin forced a smile.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Yun sensed something was wrong, "Is there something going on at Feigou.com? How much is Feigou.com now?"
"You'd better not ask."
Cai Chongxin's embarrassed expression revealed inferiority complex.
"Tell me! How can we know ourselves and the enemy without telling us?"
Lu Yun had an ominous premonition, "Just say it, I can withstand it."
"You, you can't stand it."
"I can stand it! Tell me quickly, otherwise I can find out even if I search online."
"400 million." Cai Chongxin said with a vibrato.
"How many?!"
Lu Yun was so frightened that he stood up and said incoherently, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! 400 million, how is it possible!"
"The live broadcast has been broadcast live, and the show has just ended."
Cai Chongxin's eyes were dark and he described in despair.
At this moment, it was like returning to the fear of being dominated by Mr. Lu.
"Technical adjustment, could it be a technical adjustment? These numbers are all fake..."
Lu Yun staggered and fell on the chair. Even he didn't believe what he just said. The pain suddenly drowned out the joy.
Watching him make money is even more uncomfortable than losing money!
What's more, the difference is nearly 10 times.
"Don't be too frustrated. After Joyo.com posted a message that exceeded 10 million, there was nothing more."
Cai Chongxin laughed at himself: "At least we are second."
"Why? Why is the gap between us so big?"
Lu Yun's eyes were dull, he held his head and tugged at his hair, "ctmd, Zhou Hongyi, if he doesn't play tricks, if Ahri and 3721 work together..."
"The key is the computer."
"computer?"
………
"On November 11, Feigou.com created a miracle. The total number of registered users exceeded 100 million, and sales reached 800 million in 8 hours, which is equivalent to the annual turnover of 10 Hualian supermarket chains."
“Feigou.com is suspected to have sales exceeding 1 billion in a single day!”
"This is called 30% strength? On the third anniversary of its establishment, 112 brands participated in the grand event, 650,000 merchants worked together, and hundreds of millions of users shouted to help. Feigou.com: Let hundreds of thousands of Shenzhou computers spread across the land of China, computers, and the Internet
The industry is about to usher in a dividend period."
“In 2003, when domestic PC manufacturers were complaining about the market downturn, weak prices, and meager profits, Feigou launched the new generation of PCs, Shenzhou Computer, on today’s Double Eleven Shopping Festival, launching the first shot of the affordable price revolution, officially launching the Chinese PC revolution.
Market price/performance storm..."
"Feigou and Shenzhou have enabled thousands of households across the country to afford computers and step into the information highway. What are our friends and businessmen doing?"
The media, which had benefited from the benefits, spared no effort in praising Feigou.com, Shenzhou and Logic. They boasted so much that newspapers flew into every house like snowflakes and flew to the Lianxiang Building.
In the chairman's office, newspapers are messily placed on the table.
Liu Chuanzhi covered his chest, grinned, found a medicine bottle from the drawer, and poured 3 quick-acting Jiuxin pills into his palm.
"8 hours, 800 million, 8 hours, 800 million..."
He held it in his mouth and looked up at the gloomy sky, feeling miserable, just like his mood at this moment.
There was once an investment opportunity presented to him, but he didn't take it seriously. It could be worth more than a billion dollars, and it might be worth more than Lianxiang's market value.
"Hiss~"
Liu Chuanzhi's face was twisted in pain, and he quickly poured out 6 more quick-acting heart-saving pills, holding them in his mouth to barely stop the heartache.
Dongdongdong, the secretary knocked on the door, and Yang Yuanqing and Guo Wei came in. Each one looked uglier than the other, and their morale was low.
"How did we sell this time?"
Liu Chuanzhi felt a dull pain in his heart again and forced a smile.
Yang Yuanqing and Guo Wei looked at each other, no one dared to speak.
"Yuan Qing, you are in charge of Lianxiang, you say it!"
Liu Chuanzhi hurriedly poured out 3 more quick-acting Jiuxin Pills.
"Joyto only sold 527 PCs and 79 notebooks."
Yang Yuanqing saw that his face was getting more and more ugly, and he quickly said: "Taoduoduo will be much better. 3834 PCs and 688 notebooks were sold..."
"What are you doing for food? The rice is free!"
Liu Chuanzhi slammed the table angrily, hating that iron could never become steel.
"Shenzhou sold for 190,000, 190,000! Including the 80,000 sold by Haoyi.com, it's almost 300,000. And then you come to me and tell me, the sales are still less than a fraction of others?"
"Mr. Liu, not only us, but also our friends and businessmen are having a hard time. Lu Fei has put too much pressure on us. The 3,299 yuan model sold more than 100,000 units."
Yang Yuanqing looked aggrieved and wanted to scold her in his heart.
"We also have a computer priced at 4,000 yuan, so why haven't sales increased?" Liu Chuanzhi wondered.
"Mr. Liu, this is exactly what I want to say. The traffic of Taoduoduo, Joyo.com and Feigou.com are not at the same level. ASUS and Acer sold seven or eight thousand units this time on Feigou.com.
Yang Yuanqing said helplessly: "Lianxiang should return its focus to Feigou. Now Tongfang, MSI and Haier are already taking action."
Guo Wei interjected: "It is said that anything can be negotiated. The price can be negotiated for three to five thousand, and they can even offer shares. MSI is the most shameless and gives it for free without any money."
"The situation is over, the situation is over!"
Liu Chuanzhi felt chest tightness, weakness, and dizziness.
tmd, when rolling Shenzhou, each one was less active than the other. He licked the smelly feet of Feigou.com and Mr. Lu, and each one was less active than the other.
The inward roll nm is rolled in the wrong direction!
"Mr. Liu, I suggest that Lianxiang should join this trend of affordable prices. Otherwise, compared with HP, Dell, and Shenzhou, we will be in danger..."
Before Yang Yuanqing could finish his words, Guo Wei suddenly stopped him, his eyes indicating that Liu Chuanzhi was in a bad state. His whole body was shaky, his expression was ferocious and painful, as if he would fall down with a push.
"Mr. Liu?" the two asked with concern.
"Quick, I have high blood pressure. Get me some medicine."
Liu Chuanzhi felt nauseated and retched. He sat in front of the computer and breathed weakly. His eyes fell on the screen and he saw a pop-up window popping up on QQ:
"What will happen to the world if humans lose Lianxiang? Don't be afraid, I still have Shenzhou!"
Damn it, murder, but also heart-breaking!
Yang Yuanqing's eyes widened, who the hell came up with such a wicked advertisement?
"Ah, Lu Fei!"
Liu Chuanzhi couldn't even sit still. He slipped from his chair and fell, clutching his chest in pain.
"It's not good, call an ambulance! An ambulance!"
"Mr. Liu, hold on, Mr. Liu!"
Yang Yuanqing and Guo Wei handled it as calmly as possible. The two of them softly exchanged opinions and finally reached a consensus.
Block the news that Liu Chuanzhi is sick and hospitalized. What to do next? We will make plans based on his condition.
Even considering the worst case scenario, cerebral thrombosis.
However, no matter how hard it was blocked, there was still no airtight wall. The rumor that Liu Chuanzhi was hospitalized spread like wildfire, gradually spreading in the circle, becoming more and more mysterious.
When it was sent to Great Wall Computer, what Zhou Gengshen received was that Liu Chuanzhi had been admitted to the ICU, his life and death were unknown, and his life was in critical condition.
His heart tightened. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he hurriedly asked his secretary to contact Feigou.com. He regretted it now——
Is it too late to be a dog for Mr. Lu?
At this moment, the landline phone rang, and the call came from the general manager, specifically to inform him to attend the board of directors.
"Geng Shen, you have to be prepared and think about how to explain your refusal to cooperate with Feigou.com on Double Eleven, allowing Shenzhou to seize the opportunity in vain."
"explain?"
Zhou Gengshen was confused at first, then suddenly realized.
What the hell, are you trying to make me take the blame?!
