488 dizzying numbers
At this time, everyone who is following this online auction is looking forward to the official start of the press conference.
Eighteen sets of products, 7,000 and 9 people signed up for the auction, and collected a deposit of 35 billion in half an hour, and the news that was enough to attract people's attention was exposed, and this press conference naturally became more and more eye-catching. Even Penguin.com, one of the three major portals in China, made a headline feature for this auction, "What is the Value of Virtual Reality Technology" to explore this phenomenal product.
From the initial auction that amazed the world, to the controversial pricing, to the popularity of the product abroad, the topics cited many articles from various critics on the Internet, both supportive and bearish, and successfully sparked controversy among netizens, and also aroused the attention of countless people to this press conference.
Now everyone has only one focus of a round, and it is the question that everyone has just discussed in the background of Star Technology, what kind of sky-high price can these eighteen sets of smart homes be auctioned today? Such a big momentum in the early stage has aroused everyone's curiosity. Now it depends on whether these registered buyers are not strong.
However, just when everyone was watching the time pass minute by minute, a Weibo suddenly revealed that Wang Shizi's car was parked in the T3 parking lot of Beijing Airport, and the news that it was suspected of being picking up the airport suddenly spread all over the Internet.
Wang Shizi's car is very recognizable, it is still the Phantom that he ordered with Tang Sen before, and the whole capital is that he and Tang Sen bought two of these global limited edition cars. And now that all the Chinese people know that Tang Sen is abroad at this time, then the car at the airport at this time can naturally only be Wang Shizi.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for countless photos of Wang Shizi in contact with an Asian in the parking lot to be uploaded to the Internet. Obviously, the guy who was picked up should not be a distinguished guest, because Wang Shizi did not go directly to the airport to pick him up, but just waited in the parking lot. However, at a time when Star Technology is paying attention to what high prices smart home products can be auctioned, Wang Shizi, as the chairman, actually went to the airport to pick up the plane, which can't help but make people wonder who this guy is!
It's a pity that the guy who found Wang Shizi and uploaded the photo is obviously not a professional journalist. I didn't take the main shots to Wang Shizi at all, and I didn't take a clear picture of the face of this mysterious person, which made many media entangled, and they began to speculate which important person could let Wang Shizi pick up the plane in person, after all, if you learn the identity of this mysterious person, you may be able to dig up any big news.
Of course, at this time, these can only be frivolous conversations, and the public's attention is mainly on this auction.
……
At 10:40 in the morning, the auction officially opened, and at this time, the background data of the official website of Star Technology was displayed. The number of netizens who are following this auction has reached more than 7 million. Fortunately, I considered that if it caused onlookers, it would lead to a poor auction process, so the real auction process was completed on the server provided by Alipay, and the latest quotations were only displayed in real time, which did not make the technical department personnel scramble.
However, when the auction began, the unexpected happened.
The synchronous bidding numbers seen on the official website are completely chaotic beating, and often a price is refreshed by the next number within 2 seconds after it is given. As a result, the onlookers couldn't figure out what the price was now for up to five minutes after the auction officially began.
I knew it was a bid, but I didn't know and thought it was a stopwatch reading......
"Is there any mistake, what's going on? Is the system bug or the bidding too fierce? ”
"I'll it. Too fierce, right? I just saw that it was still seven figures, why did I have one more in the blink of an eye? ”
"In fact, the highest level has not changed much, mainly the 100,000 cut, which is a stopwatch?"
……
At this time, Alipay's backstage was also busy.
"What's going on now?"
Ouyang Chen personally made a phone call to the backstage of Alipay.
"The bidding jumped too fast. The number of participants is too large, and more than a few hundred people make an offer at the same time, which leads to some instability in the system processing. I didn't expect that there were too many bidders before, and now we are facing a situation where there are thousands of bidders for each set of equipment, especially the first set, everyone is trying, and there is no one-time price increase too much, which has caused the current situation. What's more, there is only ten minutes of bidding time for each set of products, and it is estimated that this will be the case for the next set of products. Chen Zhiqiang, who was responsible for the technical support of this cooperation, said with a headache.
In fact, this really can't blame Alipay's technical support for not keeping up, on the contrary, because it attaches great importance to this cooperation with Star Technology, so Alipay has also sent the best technical team to be responsible for technical support, so the support is too good, so that the bidding amount in the background appears almost synchronously on the official website, and according to the previous bidding rules, the price increase is 100,000 yuan each time, which caused this situation.
"So what's next? Doesn't that seem a bit abnormal? Why don't we change the rules and double the auction time for each piece of equipment? Ouyang Chen obviously understood Chen Zhiqiang's explanation and asked hesitantly, but before he could wait for Chen Zhiqiang's answer, he heard a series of exclamations from the other side.
"It's broken 30 million, it's broken 30 million, and someone has raised the price by 16.8 million ...... at once"
Before he came back to his senses, Chen Zhiqiang's hurried voice came again, "No, this situation may be more stimulating to your company's potential users, and congratulations to President Ouyang, the first set of equipment was auctioned at a high price of 30 million, and I believe that a sales miracle can be created today!" In this way, I'm still very busy here, so I'll hang up first! ”
"Well, okay, then you're busy!" Ouyang Chen nodded subconsciously, and then looked at the big screen not far away, and sure enough, the current bidding price has reached 30 million! ”
At this time, the bidding amount displayed on the official website of Star Technology is finally not as exaggerated as the beating just now, it is temporarily set at 30 million, Ouyang Chen subconsciously looked at the time, five minutes and thirteen seconds have passed since the first set of equipment started to be auctioned, and the first set of equipment has reached the highest point of his psychological expectation price in almost half of the time, Ouyang Chen once again had a sense of unreality, will this price still jump?
……
Netizens who were watching the auction on the Internet finally breathed a sigh of relief. The number that kept beating just now was too dazzling, until this moment the number was frozen for more than ten seconds, and everyone finally roughly understood what was going on before!
It was obviously not a technical fault just now, it was a group of rich people who added weights to play...... (To be continued.) )
