June 18, 2004.
This was a day that all e-commerce workers would remember.
On this day, the e-commerce website of Huanyu Technologies, Huanyu Department Store, officially held a clothing promotion.
Perhaps for many people, this was a promotion for single items.
His scale should not be big.
At the same time, he was also a promotion for C2C. It was even more impossible for him to compete with B2C.
But on this day, countless people's worldviews would be shattered.
Wang Haimei, who had been waiting in front of the computer before midnight, did not move. She stared at the data on the computer.
"Honey, it's the middle of the night. Why are you still looking at the computer?"
"I'm looking for a list."
"It's the middle of the night. Look, it's almost midnight. Who's buying? Would you buy something at midnight? "
"You don't know. Huanyu Department Store held an event at midnight today. It's a big promotion."
"It's impossible for a big promotion to have any orders at midnight. Let's see tomorrow."
Xie Bing saw that Wang Haimei did not sleep and complained in his heart.
"No, let's see first."
No matter what, let's wait until midnight first.
Xie Bing could not do anything about Wang Haimei.
He knew that his wife, Wang Haimei, was very family-oriented. Although there were not many orders online, she could still earn one or two hundred yuan a month.
One or two hundred yuan was not much, but it could more or less subsidize the family.
However, Xie Bing was not optimistic about e-commerce.
He felt that buying things online was convenient, but it was definitely not as intuitive as buying things in a physical store.
Just like the clothes.
One could only look at the pictures of the clothes online. One could not touch or try them on. How many people would buy them?
It was better to run a physical store in reality. He would not let his wife work so hard in the future.
Xie Bing made up his mind and said.
Time passed quickly. Soon, it was midnight.
Ding dong, you have a new order. Please check.
Almost at the same time as midnight, the new order had jumped out.
"That's true …"
Wang Haimei said, "Honey, look, a new order came."
"I know, I know. It's just one order. You can only earn about ten yuan."
Xie Bing was a little sleepy.
There was another thing he was unhappy about selling things online.
In order to attract users, the prices online were generally much cheaper than in a physical store.
Often, he could earn dozens of yuan for a piece of clothing in a physical store, but he could only earn about ten yuan online.
Some of them could only earn a few dollars.
In some remote areas, they often couldn't even make money.
Because the postage was very expensive.
Usually, at this time, most stores would take the initiative to tell consumers not to buy.
It was not worth it.
"Ten yuan is still money," Wang Yao said.
Wang Haimei didn't care so much.
They were free to fall in love. They did not have a house or a car.
Now, she had given birth to two more children. Although life wasn't hard, it wasn't great either.
Usually, they sold clothes on the street for a living.
However, they were selling clothes in town, and the profit margin was very low. Wang Haimei had no choice but to find a part-time job.
It was just that it was not easy to work part-time.
Because she had two children to take care of, she couldn't work outside for a long time.
Later, she found out that she could sell things online, so she gave it a try.
Although this attempt did not surprise Wang Haimei, it would more or less sell a few orders.
In addition, she saw that things like the Internet were becoming more and more developed, so she thought that doing business online would definitely be very promising in the future.
Therefore, Wang Haimei persisted for a period of time, and now she could earn 200 yuan a month.
"Alright, alright, alright. It's money, but it's too late. Let's sleep."
"I'll wait a little longer."
"You're still waiting? I can't take it anymore."
"Then you go to sleep first. I'll be late."
"Uh …"
Xie Bing was extremely depressed. "Well, honey, we agreed to do that tonight."
"Stupid."
Wang Haimei blushed. "Tomorrow."
"Don't. I've been waiting for you for several hours."
"Alright then, hurry up."
Just as the couple was about to start, a message came from the computer.
"Honey, stop. There's a new order."
"Damn, how can we stop?"
"I have to go and take a look. What if that person sees that we don't respond and cancels the order?"
"How can that be? They can understand in the middle of the night. Let's start."
"Then …"
Seeing her husband's anxious look, Wang Haimei thought about it and agreed. She would go and take a look later.
However, just as she was about to start again.
The computer dinged again. You have a new order.
"Honey, honey, there's a new order."
"Why is there another one?"
"Why not? I can't wait for a few orders later."
It had only been a few minutes, and three orders had appeared. Wang Haimei was very happy.
There weren't so many orders at the market in real life.
However, just as she was about to check it out again, her computer started ringing incessantly. She didn't know what was going on.
"You have a new order, please check it."
"You have a new order, please check it."
"You have a new order, please check it …"
This voice shocked the two of them into a daze.
"Is the computer broken?"
"No way."
"Then why does this sound keep going?"
"I don't know. Don't tell me there are really so many orders."
"Honey, stop, stop, stop …"
"Ahhh … I'm going to be impotent because of you."
This time, no matter what, he had to stop. Wang Haimei came to the computer again.
She only saw a series of orders displayed in the background of the computer.
In just a short while, he had received more than 70 orders.
The next day.
Wang Haimei and her husband got up.
Today was the market. Wang Haimei and her husband, Xie Bing, were going to open the shop to do business.
However, thinking of the orders from last night, Wang Haimei turned on the computer and looked at the orders again.
"Oh my god, 500 orders."
"What? Honey, 500 orders?"
"Yes."
"Don't lie to me."
"Why would I lie to you? Look …"
She opened the backend records. The two of them were instantly excited when they saw the dense list of orders.
"Damn, this promotion is too crazy. There are so many orders?"
"I didn't expect it to be so strong. Also, this was last night. There should be more orders during the day."
"Honey, I won't go to the shop today. I'll guard the online shop."
"Okay, I'll open the shop alone today."
At this moment, Xie Bing didn't say anything.
More than 500 orders in one night. Sometimes, their physical shop couldn't sell that many orders in a month.
Although he didn't think much of e-commerce before, when the orders were placed in front of him, Xie Bing knew what was more important.
"Haimei, what are you doing?"
"Guarding the online shop."
"Wow, looks like the sales were good last night."
"Not bad. I sold more than 500 orders. How many orders do you have?"
"Not bad either. I sold more than 700 orders."
"Oh my god, you sold more than 700 orders."
"My 700 orders are nothing. Let me tell you, Li Mei on the street in front. Do you know how many orders she sold?"
"How many?"
"1010 orders."
"Amazing."
Huang Haimei was extremely shocked.
She thought that her 500 orders were a lot. She didn't expect someone to sell twice as many orders.
Of course, Huang Haimei also knew that this kind of thing couldn't be compared.
However, she was even more determined to continue operating the online shop.
"Oh right, have you packed the orders yet?"
"Not yet. I'm waiting for Xie Bing to finish looking at the shop."
"Hurry up. Tell your husband to stop looking at the shop. Let's send the orders first. Let me tell you something. The clothes in the delivery shops in town are piled up like mountains. If you're a step slower, you might not be able to send them out in the next few days. "
"Oh my god, it's that serious?"
"I can't lie to you."
"Okay, I'll tell Xie Bing to come back."
