One day? "
Chen Yu nodded.
"Boss Chen, 50 million a day. Are you sure about that?"
"Of course."
Chen Yu said with absolute certainty.
To be honest, if it weren't for 2003, Chen Yu wouldn't even dare to mention this number in his future life.
It wasn't that this number was too big, but that this number was too small.
It was so small that it was too embarrassing to say it out loud.
However, while Chen Yu thought so, the reporter interviewing Chen Yu didn't think so.
One had to know that although the online e-commerce market seemed promising, there weren't many transactions.
Moreover, no matter how powerful e-commerce was, people would think that it couldn't be compared with physical stores.
Moreover, people didn't know much about e-commerce.
They felt that it was just a small website. How powerful could a small website be?
If a small website could sell so many things, why would there be a physical store?
Why would they spend so much money to rent a store, hire employees, and do publicity?
Everyone could just buy things online in the future.
Many people thought so.
Therefore, when Chen Yu said that the sales would reach 50 million a day, even the reporter from Xinhuanet was extremely surprised.
"I'll report as you said tonight?"
"Sure."
Chen Yu didn't refuse.
That was the kind of report he wanted.
"Thank you, Boss Chen. Thank you for the interview."
The Xinhuanet reporter originally wanted to interview more.
However, he felt that the interview had reached an extremely explosive topic.
Breaking 50 million a day in sales, if this wasn't a big claim, then it was a big boast.
He also wanted to see how the outside world would view his news when it was released.
That night.
The Xinhuanet reporter's interview had already been printed.
Xinhuanet's interview with Chen Yu was on the front page.
And it even marked the shocking number of 50 million.
"50 million a day in sales, how is this possible?"
"Let alone 50 million, even 5 million would be difficult."
"Even large supermarkets can't achieve 5 million in sales in a day."
Many people's first impression was that Huanyu Mall was bragging.
They treated it as a joke.
Similarly, for Ma Yun, he didn't think that Chen Yu was bragging, but he thought that it was a publicity stunt.
This was very similar to Jack Ma's style.
Regardless of whether he could do it or not, he had to brag to the heavens first.
It didn't matter if he couldn't do it now, but what if he could do it in the future?
Moreover, such a boast could really attract a lot of people.
However, in his heart, he felt that Chen Yu was creating hype.
However, Jack Ma, who was still worried, continued to stare at the website of Huanyu Mall.
"Zhao Xi, do you think Huanyu Mall can really sell products worth 50 million?"
"Impossible."
Lu Zhaoxi shook his head. "It's possible for him to sell it within a year, but a month? That's too fake."
"I don't think we should be trapped by our thoughts."
Ma Yun shook his head. "It's just like how we couldn't solve the user experience problem before, but Huanyu Technologies solved it perfectly with the offline delivery model."
"But it's impossible to reach 50 million sales in a day."
Lu Zhaoxi still didn't think Huanyu Mall could do it.
Taobao had been established for more than half a year, but it only had 20 million sales in half a year.
20 million in half a year and 50 million in a day were simply not the same concept.
Lu Zhaoxi admitted that Huanyu Technologies had a unique side, but they didn't feel that their group of people was that bad. At most, they couldn't be compared to them, but no matter how bad they were, they couldn't be beaten by their sales in a day.
"Whether it's possible or not, we'll know tomorrow."
Without saying anything more, Jack Ma turned off his computer and got off work.
The next day, 11: 40 AM.
A huge projector was hung in the conference room of Huanyu Mall.
The projector showed the sales of Huanyu Mall.
However, because the website hadn't officially opened yet, the sales backstage were 0.
No.
In fact, it wasn't 0. It was more than 10,000 yuan.
Why was there more than 10,000 yuan?
It wasn't that Huanyu Mall sold the products in advance. The 10,000 yuan was the user's deposit.
Yes.
Although the website opened at 12 AM, Huanyu Mall had already prepared the reservation before the website opened.
Each person only needed to pay 1 yuan to make a reservation.
10,000 yuan. This meant that more than 10,000 people had already paid.
Although 10,000 people were pitifully small compared to the future, it was a very good number in 2003.
With more than 10,000 people paying, it meant that there was a possibility of 50 million sales.
However, this was still a reservation. The users hadn't actually paid.
"How are the preparations of each department?"
"All departments are ready. We're just waiting for the website to open."
"Good."
Chen Yu nodded.
He looked at the time. It was already 11: 50 AM.
There were only 10 minutes left before the website of Huanyu Mall opened.
On the other side, a group of users who had already chosen their products were waiting in front of their computers.
They had already seen the advertisement a few days ago.
Moreover, they had also compared it offline and online.
That's right.
The same product, the same performance, the same manufacturer. Everything was the same, but the price was completely different.
The products in Huanyu Mall were almost all the same. They were 100 to 200 yuan cheaper than those in physical stores.
Consumers who had long wanted to buy something big for their families were looking forward to this day.
Moreover, it was said that today was the first day of Huanyu Mall's opening. There were more surprises waiting for them.
Just like now, they saw a series of surprises.
First was the special offer.
A large color TV that was originally sold for 2,000 yuan in the market was now sold for 999 yuan.
This kind of price was simply too high.
Of course, not everyone could buy such a color TV. If they wanted to buy one, they had to compete with their hand speed and internet speed.
Huanyu Mall only provided 10 of these color TV sets.
Of course, the special offer wasn't only limited to color TV sets. There were also refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners … etc.
Then there was an even more exciting auction item.
This auction wasn't for antiques. It was for home appliances.
Did you think that these home appliances were very expensive? No, the starting price was 1 yuan.
In other words, if you bid for 1 yuan and no one bid, then you could buy this item for 1 yuan.
Wasn't it tempting?
Even though everyone knew that it was impossible to get a deal for 1 yuan and that there would definitely be people bidding, what was the point of bidding?
It wasn't like they had to pay if they didn't get it.
Moreover, there was a price tag on the item. As long as the price wasn't higher than the price tag, they would make a profit.
Of course, they had to go even if they wanted to join in the fun.
Many users had never participated in any auctions before. It was good to go online for fun.
Then there was the lucky draw.
No matter how much you spent, even if it was just 1 yuan, you would be eligible to participate in the lucky draw.
There were big and small items in the lucky draw.
The small items were a headset, the big items were a computer, a color TV, and even a car.
However, the official website also indicated that the faster the order, the higher the cost, and the higher the probability of winning the lucky draw.
As for what you could win, it depended on how much you spent and how long you spent to place the order.
In addition, there were also coupons for the highest cost. This was even more exciting for the users.
Ding …
There was a ding sound. At 12 noon, Huanyu Mall officially opened for business.
"Charge!"
"I must get that special offer."
"It doesn't matter if I get the special offer or not. I want to place my order in the top 100."
"What are the benefits of placing an order in the top 100?"
"Didn't you see the official website? The top 100 will definitely win the prize."
"Damn, why didn't you say so earlier? I will place my order in a while …"
Was there anyone who understood the psychology of online buyers better than Chen Yu?
In the future, there were a lot of online promotion plans. Chen Yu could introduce 100 of them to you in minutes.
Any one of them could be used to get you to make a deal.
As for how many deals could be made today … At this time, the numbers in Huanyu Mall's backend were rolling.
No, it wasn't just the backend. The sales figures on the homepage were also showing the sales figures.
