$19,864,100!

This is the sales figure set by eBay's "6.6 Online Shopping Carnival".

In the face of this figure, everyone's first feeling is that the technology is shocked: a virtual shopping mall built on the Internet can achieve sales of nearly 20 million US dollars in a single day......? It's crazy!

It's just that, while shocked, not only eBay employees and Internet industry practitioners, but even traditional media, everyone is quite sorry that the "6.6 Online Shopping Carnival" failed to exceed 20 million: it was just a little bit, it almost broke through 20 million US dollars.

Chen Geng, in the face of the reporter's interview, he was very calm: "This is only the first '6.6 online shopping carnival' held by ebay, for how to hold this kind of online shopping carnival, how to cooperate between various links, we have no experience before, whether it is ebay or our partners, we don't know what to do, for this sales figure, I am actually very satisfied...... I don't think anyone will be dissatisfied. ”

The reporter was a little unwilling, and continued to ask: "But Mr. Fernandez, don't you feel sorry that the final turnover did not exceed 20 million US dollars?"

"How can it be?" Chen Geng smiled: "You know, this sales are comparable to the sales of Wal-Mart shopping malls in a quarter, which is not a good location, and we did it in one day, why should we feel sorry? You know, this is just the beginning." Even if there are real regrets, it doesn't matter, I believe that the sales of next year's 'June 6 Online Shopping Carnival' will exceed 50 million US dollars. ”

Fernandez Chen actually thinks that eBay can exceed $50 million in sales at next year's "June 6 Online Shopping Carnival"? The reporter was stunned by Chen Geng's words: "Mr. Fernandez, are you serious?"

"Of course!" Chen Geng said without hesitation: "I have no doubt about this!"

After a pause, he continued: "eBay provides the best service to everyone, and the only thing I worry about now is whether the logistics can keep up." ”

Except for the reporters, no one thinks there is anything wrong with Chen Geng's words, nearly 20 million US dollars of various items were sold in one day, and some customers are still located in the Nordic region, isn't it normal for logistics to be slower? Only Steve Ballmer, when he saw these words, suddenly realized in his heart: If the cooperative logistics company is not good enough in this performance, the boss will probably really start the eBay logistics construction plan this time, right?

The reporters didn't think this was a problem, and they were even more interested in the activity of "You consume, Mr. Fernandez pays": "Mr. Fernández, according to the lottery announced by eBay, in this '6.6 online shopping carnival', a consumer who spent more than 40,000 US dollars was drawn by your 'you consume, Mr. Fernandez pays', may I ask, will you really help this consumer pay?"

"Of course," Chen Geng smiled at this question, "You don't think I can't even pay the more than 40,000 US dollars, do you?" Or do you think that I will take my personal credit for this more than 40,000 US dollars?"

"Hahaha......"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene!

Everyone thinks that what Chen Geng said is good, but it is just more than 40,000 US dollars, and the total amount drawn out of this "you spend, Mr. Fernandez pays" activity is only a hundred thousand US dollars.

That's a big joke!

This reporter, are you new here?

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

Chen Geng's words became a prophecy.

UPS, Ebay's logistics partner, and FedEx, which later came to the door on its own initiative, performed a little badly in this "6.6 online shopping carnival".

In other words, it is no longer possible to accurately describe the performance of UPS and FedEx, the average logistics delivery time in the United States is 7 days, the average logistics delivery time for those European customers is as long as 10 days, and some Nordic users actually took up to 22 days to receive their items.

In this era when there is no special timeliness requirement for online shopping, although everyone has some complaints about the speed of logistics, but the complaints are only about UPS and FedEx, and everyone actually recognizes the performance of ebay, but Chen Geng is not satisfied with this result......

"Steve, this is too slow," Chen Geng frowned, and said to Steve Ballmer: "Even in the United States, it takes an average of seven days to deliver the package, I looked at the statistics, and thought that it took a full 16 days for users in Alaska to receive their packages...... UPS delivery guy, is it swimming from the Pacific Ocean?!"

Steve Ballmer thinks his boss is making a fuss: Isn't logistics all the way up these days? Is there something wrong with that?

However, he was not stupid enough to say this to Chen Geng after all, but after frowning, he confirmed with Chen Geng: "So...... Boss, are you ready to start the logistics construction plan you proposed earlier?"

Chen Geng nodded: "Steve, let me tell you this, my goal is that the goods purchased by the user on eBay, whether he is from Washington or Northern Europe, ordinary items can be delivered to the user within 4 days, and some more urgent items, and at the same time live in a big city with more than 100,000 people, they must be delivered to the user's hands within 2 days." ”

Steve Ballmer automatically ignored Chen Geng's request, his eyes widened, and he looked at Chen Geng in disbelief: "4 days?!Boss, are you sure you're serious?"

Chen Geng didn't speak, and looked at Steve Ballmer with a slight frown: What?

"OK, OK," Steve Ballmer realized he had done something stupid, and he hurriedly raised his hand to show that he didn't question his boss, "but boss, it's hard! I don't know how hard it will be to do this, but it must be very hard, you know, this is something that even USPS, UPS, and FedEx can't do." ”

"What USPS, UPS and FedEx can't do, doesn't mean I can't do it," Chen Geng looked at Steve Ballmer and blinked: "Steve, let me ask you, if such a logistics group is built by us, how many employees will be hired alone?"

If such a logistics company is really started, how many employees do you need to hire?

Steve Ballmer blinked, he really didn't know this, but he understood what Chen Geng meant: "Boss, what do you mean ......"
