"What's going on? Tomorrow is a pre-sale? Does pre-sale mean there's no stock to sell?"

Some students were puzzled when they saw the word "pre-sale", they had never been exposed to this sales model before.

"Pre-sale pre-sale, ready for sale, of course, there is no stock, pay for the order first, and then wait in line to get the computer, it's nothing more than waiting for ten more days, what's this, anyway, I will buy it tomorrow!"

"This is fooling people, what if we pay the money and Lenovo doesn't deliver the goods, it's thousands. "Some people are a little worried that they won't be able to get the goods after paying for them.

"Are you stupid! This is a Huimin project on the news broadcast! Lenovo is the largest brand computer manufacturer in China, and now the big boss is my cousin! My cousin cares about your 3,000 yuan?" Of course, most people have no doubts about Huimin Computer, and it is obvious that with the news broadcast and the endorsement of the cousin, Lenovo will never and dare not deceive everyone.

"I have to place an order on time on the computer at ten o'clock tomorrow, I feel that this computer is not easy to grab. I read the announcement that the first batch only released 300,000 units, 250,000 low and 50,000 high, not a lot of them. ”

"No, this is 300,000 units, I don't believe that so many people in the country can grab them all at once. ”

"Don't be careless, I think it's better to place an order as soon as possible, otherwise, the second batch will be more than ten days later. When everyone else gets the computer, you don't get it, you can kill people in a hurry. ”

Huimin computer is the hottest topic in the whole society recently, and countless people are waiting to see how much impact its listing can bring!

Although the total number of educational discounts in the first month was as high as 1.2 million units, Lenovo Group only released 300,000 units for the first batch of pre-sales.

250,000 low-configuration 2999 computers, 50,000 high-configuration 3999 computers, of course, because of educational discounts, each will be cheaper by another 300 yuan.

This is also a test of Lenovo Group, and it did not dare to release too many computers at one time, because how the online sales model is, whether the sales process can work well, and whether there will be any accidents in offline self-pickup, these still need to be explored.

The first batch of pre-sales can be regarded as experiments and "training", and if the effect is good, it would be good to slowly increase the number of pre-sales.

............

"What's the situation, is there a sudden increase in the number of valid registered users? ”

In the office, Yu Wenfei asked Shen Nanpeng with a smile.

Facebook Internet financial services company has been established under the leadership of Shen Nanpeng, and during this time, Shen Nanpeng has been very busy, recruiting employees, reorganizing the team, decorating his own office building, and registering the company.

There are many vacant office buildings in the Star Science and Technology Park, and Shen Nanpeng chose one building as the office space of Facebook Mutual Finance, and also moved out from the main office building.

Fortunately, the old team of WeChat Pay is still perfect, and even the technical belt operation has a foundation, otherwise, it would be impossible to get the new company up so smoothly.

In the past, the number of registered users of WeChat Pay was large, and that was because WeChat users naturally became WeChat Pay users.

However, the vast majority of users do not have a bank card binding......

That's equivalent to an invalid user, and you can't do it really.

However, since the announcement of the Huimin project, especially the special notice to users, in the next year, Huimin computers can only be purchased at Lenovo's official flagship store on Taobao, and the payment method can only be paid by WeChat.

The effective users of WeChat Pay began to grow by leaps and bounds!

In just a few days, the number of WeChat Pay users who have bound bank cards has reached seven or eight million!

And this momentum has not weakened in the slightest, and it is expected to break through the 10 million mark soon.

Of course, all this comes at a price.

The $200 million raised by Citibank has been paid to Lenovo Group as a "promotion fee".

In return, Lenovo Group specifically specified that within the first year, all users who want to buy Huimin computers online must pay through WeChat!

Overbearing?

There is indeed a point.

However, consumers don't have a choice, and others sell you computers at a loss, can't they make a little demand?

Since you want to buy a Huimin computer more than 1,000 cheaper than the market price, it is a little more troublesome, go to apply for a savings card with online banking function, and then bind your WeChat payment account, and then register a Taobao account, and then bind the WeChat payment account to the Taobao account.

It may seem like a lot of trouble, but this is a one-and-done solution, and it is very convenient to buy things on Taobao or other online shopping sites in the future, and WeChat Pay has now basically covered all mainstream e-commerce websites.

Speaking of the recent situation, Shen Nanpeng was full of smiles.

He said excitedly: "The effect is really good! The number of registered users of our Facebook Mutual Fund has exceeded 8 million! And it is still climbing, and it is estimated that it will soon reach 10 million."

In addition, I have recently been discussing with the team that we are now an independent company and can no longer be all attached to WeChat, and with the increasing number of Internet financial services provided, WeChat is not enough to carry all the functions, so we plan to launch our own software, both computer and mobile. ”

Yu Wenfei nodded, this is also as it should be, Facebook Mutual Finance Company, the future business is not only an online payment business, but to develop into a comprehensive Internet financial service company.

Online payment, consumer credit system, online financial management, microfinance, financial savings, and even online sales of insurance business!

Although many functions can be embedded in WeChat, if you don't have your own independent software, it still seems a bit informal and perfect, and it is essential to launch your own website and software.

"Once again, it is a borrowing of Huimin Computer, I estimate that the number of users is expected to exceed 20 million, but 30 million is still a bit reluctant. However, don't worry, about the promotion of WeChat payment, there are still big moves behind. Yu Wenfei said unhurriedly.

Although he didn't know what big moves Yu Wenfei had, Shen Nanpeng was convinced, because for more than a year, Yu Wenfei's achievements had already made everyone believe in him.

Internet miracles were born from his hands, giant companies were created from scratch, and industries were destroyed and rebuilt by him!

Then, Facebook Mutual Finance Company reached 30 million effective users within a year, and the platform transaction amount exceeded 30 billion, which may be an impossible task for others, but in the hands of Yuwenfei, every shareholder firmly believes that he can do it!

............

On the same day, at the Alibaba headquarters in Hangzhou, Lao Ma looked at the data on the computer screen in disbelief.

He blurted out, "This ...... In just one day, the number of user registrations has increased more than the cumulative number of our Taobao online for more than half a year!"

Taobao has been online for more than half a year, and the development is quite smooth, as of Yuwenfei and Lao Ma meeting, the number of registered users is as high as 4.3 million, and the cumulative transaction amount is more than 300 million!

Originally, everyone in Alibaba Group was satisfied with this development speed, because it is not impossible to become the leader of the domestic C2C e-commerce industry in a few more years according to this trend.

However, after reaching a cooperation with Yuwenfei, especially in the news broadcast, the country was officially announced that Huimin Computer was only sold on Taobao in the first year, and the number of new registered users on Taobao began to skyrocket......

If you use a graph to show the number of new daily users on Taobao, before, it was a straight line about 15 degrees obliquely upward, but after the news broadcast, this line became 90 degrees, straight up to the sky!

In half an hour, the number of registered users exceeded 5 million!

In one hour, it exceeded six million!

Five hours, ten million!

In one day, Taobao officially exceeded 20 million registered users!

"Mr. Ma, our servers are not enough, and the bandwidth is not enough, when we designed the website, we didn't expect to have such a large amount of traffic. The person in charge of the technical department sweated profusely and pushed away Lao Ma's office and said hurriedly.

With the influx of users, Taobao began to become stuck, which was a manifestation of server and bandwidth limitations.

"Don't worry, I've already sent people to contact telecom rooms around the country, and I want to rent a large number of servers, and the reason why I haven't signed a contract to put them into use is that I'm waiting for this moment!"

Lao Ma also made two preparations, because according to Yu Wenfei's description, Taobao will usher in an explosive stage.

After the number of users of e-commerce websites soars, it is inevitable to invest more servers and bandwidth to ensure user experience.

So he also sent people to talk to the telecommunications departments in various places about the rental of computer rooms and servers in advance, but he didn't dare to rent a large number of computer rooms in advance, for fear that if the effect was not as ideal as Yu Wenfei described, the rented computer room would become a burden.

Now, of course, there is no such concern.

And tomorrow, Lenovo's official flagship store will be officially launched, and after Huimin computers are officially on sale, it is conceivable that Taobao will usher in a wave of access peaks!

Lao Ma is a little envious of Facebook's website, because Facebook companies have their own data centers, and there is more than one!

It is recognized in the industry that the Facebook website has the fastest network speed and the best user experience, but few companies dare to imitate it.

Because of the data center, that's a huge amount of investment!

Except for Penguin, which has opened and established its own data center, the rest of the Internet companies, one is counted as one, and they all rent telecommunications rooms.

However, according to the development speed of Taobao, its own data center will also be on the agenda, Lao Ma thought secretly.

The problem of capital was also solved after a period of additional investment from SoftBank Capital.

This time, Taobao can be regarded as hitchhiking with Yuwenfei......
