Chapter 1350: No One Believes It
On the first day of launch, the total turnover of eBay was as high as $10.064 million?!
Looking at Steve Ballmer in front of him, the eyes of all the reporters on the scene widened: What are you kidding?!
"It can't be!"
After a moment of silence, the media soon stood up to refute Steve Ballmer: "Mr. Ballmer, you can't have such sales results......"
Steve Ballmer glanced at the media logo on the reporter's microphone, well, it turned out to be Murdoch's "New York Post", a newspaper affiliated with Murdoch's media group, which has always been very difficult with the boss, no wonder they will be the first to jump out to find their own faults......
"Why can't it be?" Steve Ballmer asked rhetorically, "Mr. Reporter, have you carefully analyzed and investigated?
The New York Post reporter didn't expect Steve Ballmer to refute himself without giving himself face, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "Uh...... This one...... Do you still need to analyze and investigate? A Wal-Mart mall's daily sales are only about $300,000, so why is eBay, as a newly launched online shopping site, so much better than Wal-Mart Mall's sales?"
"I knew it was so!"
Hearing that the New York Post reporter didn't say that, Steve Ballmer laughed: "Sir, I want to remind you that eBay is not a small website with no origin and no credit endorsement, our boss is Mr. Fernandez, the richest man in the United States, buying things on Mr. Fernandez's website, will everyone worry about being deceived?"
"Uh...... This ......"
The New York Post reporter was speechless.
Yes, Steve Ballmer is right, if ebay is a start-up website made by school students and dogs, of course everyone will not have any trust in it, but just like Steve Ballmer said, ebay is a project made by the richest man Fernandez Chen, no one thinks that the richest man will deceive people, his wealth is the best credit preparation book on ebay, and everyone naturally has full confidence in ebay.
Looking at the speechless reporters of the New York Post, Steve Ballmer silently raised the middle finger for the other party in his heart, and then looked at the reporters in front of him and said: " Gentlemen, to tell you the truth, when I saw this sales figure of more than 10 million US dollars, I was in disbelief like everyone else, but when I think about it, I take it for granted, after all, we have sold nearly 3,200 units of thinkcenter and ThinkPad computers alone, with a total value of nearly 8.5 million US dollars, plus 24 AMC New Century sedans, this is more than 8.7 million US dollars......"
Hey?
Oh too......
Journalists, who were still shocked by the total sales of $10.064 million, heard Steve Ballmer say this, and felt very soft and felt that it made sense: out of the sales of more than $10 million, Fernandez Chen's special goods alone had $8.7 million in sales, and other goods sold for more than $1.3 million, isn't it understandable?
Hey?
Why do I take it for granted that other items sold for a total of $1.3 million?
More than 1.3 million US dollars, which is equivalent to the total daily turnover of almost 4.5 Walmart shopping malls.
Some reporters wanted to ask again, but Steve Ballmer couldn't hold on: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your interest in eBay, and this is the end of today's press conference." ”
After speaking, he walked away......
I haven't slept for more than 30 hours, and I'm so sleepy, even if I drank a strong cup of coffee before the press conference started, but at this point, Steve Ballmer was still a little overwhelmed.
He......
That's it?!
Looking at Steve Ballmer, who was gone, the reporters were all in an uproar...... Wrath!
This bastard, how did he go?
What does he think of us uncrowned kings?!
The uncrowned kings felt deeply insulted to their dignity.
..............................
Of course, the insulted uncrowned kings will not say good things about Steve Ballmer and eBay, especially the New York Post, which has been shaken by Steve Ballmer and has always dealt with Chen Geng, and even more denied eBay's first-day transaction volume......
"$10,064,000! We have enough doubts that this number is full of moisture, even if eBay is Fernandez Chen's property, but the total sales of more than 10 million on the first day still make this number extremely ridiculous, for example, we can fully doubt who the final buyers of nearly 3,200 ThinkPad and thinkcenter are - could it be employees of Mr. Fernandez's industry?
From this point of view, Mr. Fernandez really went to great lengths to make eBay achieve a brilliant result......
Even excluding the transaction value of ThinkPad and thinkcenter and AMC New Century Automobile, eBay still achieved more than $1.3 million in transaction value, which is equivalent to the daily transaction value of 4.5 Walmart shopping malls.
............
The New York Post's report was full of suspicion and vicious attacks on eBay, and other media outlets were similar, even the media with the best relationship with Chen Geng vaguely said about the $10.064 million first-day turnover: unbelievable!
But the strange thing is that the traditional media is full of doubts about ebay and ebay's first-day turnover, but in the online media, especially on the forums where netizens gather, the situation is completely different.
At this time, a netizen posted on a certain forum: Haha...... Half-price AMC New Century is here!
In fact, there is nothing magical about the post, in fact, a lucky netizen took a picture of the AMC New Century car at half price, this guy did not have a digital camera, he used a traditional film camera to take pictures of his transaction records on ebay, the process of picking up the car by himself, and the whole process of taking pictures on the car, and then after the photos were washed out, the photos were swept into digital photos with a scanner and uploaded to the Internet.
But because this netizen often haunts this forum, he is a little celebrity on the forum, and netizens who often mess around on this forum know that this guy still recognizes his personal credit, so everyone expresses envy, jealousy and hatred for his car post.
It was also at this time that another netizen posted on this forum: ThinkPad T100 is in hand!
Now, netizens are not calm!
