Rebirth starts from e-commerce

Chapter 240 Schrödinger's System
Xihang, Ali headquarters.

It was eleven o'clock at night, but the office was brightly lit.

Facing the ever-increasing number of visits, the programmers stared at the indestructible system in fear.

The collapse may or may not happen. Before it comes, no one knows what the result will be. It can only be called "Schrödinger's system".

The juniors communicate closely with the merchants to deal with various emergencies.

"What if the price is set incorrectly?"

"The inventory is locked, what should I do if I want to modify it?"

"What if there is a conflict between store discounts and official discounts?"

……

Some questions are so young that my three-year-old son asks them, but they are still the mouths of key Taobao merchants.

In this day and age, everyone is struggling, and big merchants don't necessarily know more than individual small shopkeepers.

But staying up all night has long been used to the second child.

In the eyes of merchants, they are a group of species that have no weekends, no rest time, and perform tasks like machines.

Otherwise, tasks will not be often posted in the merchant group at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, asking merchants to cooperate.

Although it is hard work, they are rewarded with blessings.

At this time, there are also large and small e-commerce companies that are also brightly lit and sleepless.

Pinru e-commerce is no exception. Employees' desktops are full of snacks, pastries, Red Bull...food and beverages, and everyone is ready for the night.

The big TV in the conference room has been moved to the office lobby, and the interface of Taobao Data Rubik's Cube appears on the screen.

Data Rubik's Cube is a data product produced by Taobao, which can watch store sales data and industry sales trends in real time.

At this time, the sales volume on November 11 is displayed on the interface.Although not many people bought it, some people still placed orders, and the sales amount changed in real time.

The last ten seconds counted down, and everyone couldn't help but put down their work and turned to stare at the Rubik's Cube, as if waiting for a rocket to launch.

"...5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0!"

At 11 o'clock on November 11th, the sales amount on the Data Rubik's Cube was reset to zero, and then it got stuck.

After about half a minute, the number on the Rubik's Cube was still 0.

In the school auditorium, those song and dance performances have long since ended.All the guests and reporters looked up, staring at the data Rubik's Cube interface on the projection.

"Hasn't it already started? Why is no one buying it?"

"I don't know, the amount hasn't changed."

"It's not because it's too late, the customers are all asleep, right?"

The people in the audience discussed in low voices, with different expressions.

The reporters were not afraid of big things when they watched the excitement, and they waited and watched with the mood of watching a movie.

And those suppliers share weal and woe with Pinru e-commerce. Pinru did not sell well on Double Eleven this time, and they will not have an easy life in the future.

If the product sells well, then they don't have to worry about no orders in the future.

The group of sophomore students in the e-commerce department experienced last year's Double Eleven, and they have absolute trust in their teachers.They are just wondering why the system is not responding, and they are not worried that no one will buy it.

Seeing this scene, the group of freshmen in the freshman year were full of confusion in their eyes, but they were too embarrassed to ask.

Luo Xiu smiled and said loudly: "Don't worry, let the bullet..."

What he wanted to say was to let the bullets fly for a while, but the movie didn't seem to be released until next month, so he had to change his words and say, "Don't worry, wait for the wind to come."

A reporter asked loudly: "What wind are you waiting for? Is it the northwest wind?"

Before the words were finished, the number of Rubik's Cube in the women's clothing store suddenly became more than 100 million, and it continued to increase continuously.

At the same time, the sales of several other stores also came out. Even for the furniture store that just opened, the sales amount in the first minute exceeded 1.

It turned out that at the moment of 0 o'clock, because too many people paid at the same time, the system crashed briefly, causing data delays, and the amount was not displayed until now.

A supplier stood up, clasped his fists in his hands, and congratulated loudly: "I just estimated that the total sales of all Pinru e-commerce stores in the first minute were nearly 1 million. Congratulations to Mr. Luo for making another brilliant double 300 this year!"

"Congratulations, President Luo!"

"Congratulations, President Luo!"

Others congratulated one after another.

Especially those suppliers, who can finally be sure that they have made the right bet, let out a long sigh of relief.

"Thank you, thank you for your support!" Luo Xiu thanked everyone, but his face was still tense and he did not relax completely.

The first 1 minute can't explain anything, because all my stores have set up preemptive orders, and the sales in the first 1 minute can't represent anything.

How much can be sold in the end depends on the next hour.

……

……

Ling Fei is a veteran hacker who likes to shop online, and her buyer account has two diamonds.

For this Double Eleven, she suppressed her urge to shop and did not spend a penny online for a whole month.

She also visited Taobao this month and added the products she liked to the shopping cart.

She usually goes to bed at ten o'clock, but now she has to wait in front of the computer for the more than 50 items in the shopping cart to start shopping at twelve o'clock.

Some of the products here are free for the top XX, some products are free gifts 10 minutes before payment, and some products are in small quantities and will be sold out later.

She experienced last year's Double Eleven, and knew that some hot items would be sold out the moment they went on sale.

She had to wait until midnight to pay before she could sleep peacefully.

Yuqing is a newcomer to online shopping. A few days ago, a Weibo celebrity I liked planted a Pinru juicer.

The original price was more than 3000 yuan, but it was directly reduced by [-] yuan on Double Eleven, which made her feel that it was a good deal, so she directly sent the link to her boyfriend.

"There is a juicer for a few hundred yuan, why buy such an expensive one?" The boyfriend was obviously not happy.

"I've already saved you 500 yuan, what else do you want?"

"All right, all right, I was wrong." The boyfriend quickly admitted his mistake.

Wei Xiong is a digital enthusiast and graphics card enthusiast.Since last year, I have been frugal and frugal, just to buy home the graphics card that is comparable to the lover of my dreams.

He inadvertently learned that the price of that graphics card had been reduced on Double Eleven, and he couldn't bear the restless heart anymore, so he borrowed enough money from friends around him.

In addition to these three, there are countless Taobao users standing in front of the computer, complaining about Taobao’s setting the Double Ten at zero o’clock, while waiting for the arrival of zero o’clock with excitement.

At the last second, they kept refreshing the page, waiting for the price to change.

Some people pressed F5 badly and did not swipe out the page, some people entered the wrong password several times, and some people got stuck at the moment before payment...

At this moment they finally know how important it is to have a good internet speed.

What is even more frustrating is that, as college students who are the main online shoppers at this time, many universities disconnect from the Internet on time after twelve o'clock.

And those who have successfully paid can't sleep at this time, and continue to browse Taobao to see if there are any bargains to pick up.
