Chapter 1508 - 1508 Shocking Sales Figures!
Chapter 1508 Shocking Sales Figures!
Instantly…
As Fang Qiu posted on Weibo, many stars forwarded and promoted it. Hence, countless people got the link to the super online store and clicked on it one after another.
After everyone read the announcement…
They began to look forward to it.
This plan was exposed before the Lunar New Year. Therefore, everyone was particularly curious and had many questions: What would this super online store be like? What local products would it sell? What would the prices be?
Moreover…
Throughout the country, a lot of supporters of organic green food and consumers of all kinds of safe food all focused on this super online store.
They were determined to check this so-called super online store selling specialties thoroughly. What exactly was it? Were its products authentic local products? Were these food products safe and green?
In addition to these people…
In Huaxia, some bosses, experts, and professors who studied economics also began to pay serious attention to this matter.
Unlike ordinary people…
These people thought Fang Qiu’s super online store project was a typical type of charity marketing. It could also be regarded as personal fans marketing.
Although matters like this sounded good…
They were unlikely to succeed.
First of all…
They were facing severe problems in all aspects.
That was right.
These experts and professors very much approved of these local specialties, which were usually green and safe. In their eyes, these local products were wonderful things. Those living in cities could hardly get them or eat them often.
Usually, these local products were domestic livestock, poultry, or green vegetables grown by villagers. Except for them, could there be anything else?
There were some, but they were in small numbers!
Comparatively speaking, the most appealing things should be green vegetables and the like.
Then…
There came the problems of packing and transporting green vegetables.
It was a charity program, but the Three Billion Foundation would not pay its bills. Moreover, according to the super online store’s notice, the earned profits would be used to subsidize the villagers.
This also proved that the super online store could make a profit.
The preservation period of vegetables was very short, so they must be strictly controlled and packaged. Of course, some local specialties like salted products could be preserved for a long time. Yet, they should also be well packaged.
They needed to package their products and make money.
Then, the prices of these products must be high. This store would be meaningless if these prices were almost the same as the market prices. But how could this super online store make money if its items were much cheaper?
Therefore, in the eyes of these experts and scholars…
This matter should be the personal fans marketing of Fang Qiu and charity marketing. They also wanted to take the opportunity to see how much Fang Qiu could stimulate economic growth!
Soon after…
It was 8:55 p.m.
This super online store had issued a notice in advance. It would presell at nine o’clock in the evening, and the super online store would officially open at midnight.
The Taotao Online Marketplace’s server was designed to store huge amounts of data.
As time went by, a large number of people thronged into the store, but the server showed no sign of collapse. It ran very smoothly!
At nine o’clock in the evening…
Countless people were looking forward to the moment. In unison, they continuously refreshed the website of the super online store.
As soon as they refreshed the page…
Instantly, the initially empty page changed, and a mult.i.tude of beautiful things dazzled their eyes.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the online store was filled with various specialties from all over the country.
When everyone saw these specialties…
They were amazed at once.
“What the h.e.l.l? So many?”
“This is simply a treasure house!”
“Green cabbages just picked from the field?”
“Potatoes dug up yesterday?”
“Gra.s.s hats and bamboo mats?”
“Sickles, bamboo baskets, ancient-style cloth shoes, costumes of minority nationalities in Huaxia, chickens and ducks raised outside cages, and wild fish?”
It was a superb collection of beautiful things.
This store was an eye-opener for everyone.
They saw fantastic photos of places all over the country and real pictures of various products. In addition, these introductions were well written.
Then they checked the prices.
They were much lower than the market prices.
Most importantly, every item in this store was marked with the specific manufacturing date, the limited quant.i.ty, and so on. Each would be directly sent out from the producing area.
After all, unlike ma.s.s-produced goods from factories, these local special products were produced in limited quant.i.ties.
With this…
All the people entering the super online store firmly believed that these things were authentic local specialties.
Without hesitation…
Countless people frantically added products they liked to the shopping cart.
Some people wanted to purchase these goods directly for fear that they would be out of stock. As a result, when they clicked to pay, they found that these things were only open to booking. Even if they wanted to buy them right now, there were no goods in stock, and even the reserved quant.i.ty was limited.
Then…
Everyone hastened to add the products they liked into the shopping cart and booked them.
On the other side…
Undoubtedly, the other specialty trading companies paid the most attention to this super online store.
“The prices are so low?”
“What’s going on? How could they offer such low prices?”
“With such prices, the store could barely profit.”
“They must be crazy. How could they sell these products at such low prices? Don’t they want to earn money?”
Instantly…
All the specialty dealers were dumbfounded.
They couldn’t see how Fang Qiu’s super online store could make profits. In their eyes, its sales figure should be above millions of yuan if it could earn a little money.
Why would Fang Qiu do such a hard and thankless thing?
For a time…
These specialty traders began to worry.
The current situation gave them a sense of crisis.
They felt worried. If Fang Qiu’s super online store succeeded, these traders selling specialties would be forced to find another money-making way.
Since their road to gaining money had been cut off, there was no point in doing this business. They would have to give it up in the end.
Here…
Because the store had just opened…
On the page of the super online store, a line of numbers for preselling goods was flas.h.i.+ng.
The presale had just begun.
Soon, the number of bookings kept rising.
In just a few minutes, the number was above 10,000.
Then…
After a short pause, it continued to rise.
Soon, it was over 50,000.
The sharp rise in bookings startled everyone that paid close attention to the super online store. After all, the presale number increased too sharply.
The time was pa.s.sing.
Everyone lingered in the super online store with no thought of leaving.
There was an endless array of specialties from all villages, towns, counties, cities, and provinces all over the country. Once customers entered the store, they could hardly stop searching around. After all, this place was like a large-scale market.
Two and a half hours later…
It was 11:30 p.m.!
The presale number of the super online store had exceeded 200 million yuan!
In the Three Billion Foundation…
All the staff were stunned by this data.
It was a total surprise to senior executives like Jiang Mengjie, Zhang Xinming, and Wei Dong. They didn’t expect the presale to be so successful. It had only been 2.5 hours, but the number had already exceeded 200 million.
Notably…
Their goods were very cheap. Even so, sales reached 200 million yuan!
“That’s awesome!”
Wei Dong looked at the number, completely stunned.
“It rises so fast.”
Jiang Mengjie couldn’t help exclaiming.
“Surprisingly, so many customers want these products and are willing to pay for them.”
Zhang Xinming was also shocked.
“This is the so-called larger sales at a small profit.”
He Xue was also very concerned about this matter. With a smile, she said, “Goods of the meager profit can always attract a lot of attention and get a lot of positive reactions. It is because they are cheap and fine. Therefore, even if they are not in short supply, everyone is willing to buy some.”
“It’s only 11:30 p.m., but they have booked many products. How much can the online store sell when it officially opens at midnight?”
Wei Dong asked.
These people in the foundation suddenly fell silent.
Because they couldn’t imagine what would happen when the store officially opened.
…
Everyone continued to observe.
At midnight…
Soon, all the products in the super online store were officially launched for sale.
Because everyone had already made a reservation, countless people paid their bills when the store opened.
Of course…
The presale data was not included in the formal sales data.
It was just like when in the preselling period…
Everyone saw a stream of numbers recording sales on the home page of the super online store.
Since the goods were officially sold, the number had been constantly rising.
In about three minutes…
The sales had exceeded 10 million yuan.
Then…
This number was growing faster and faster.
Five minutes later, it reached 30 million.
Eight minutes later, the number was more than 70 million.
In 10 minutes…
Just 10 minutes after the super online store opened, its sales figure had exceeded 100 million yuan!
It was an enormous sum.
Countless people who didn’t buy anything but only paid attention to this matter were taken aback because this number was terrifyingly large.
Goods worth 100 million yuan were sold in 10 minutes.
This number was shockingly high. It looked even more stunning than the sales of Taotao Online Marketplace when it gave customers great offers and special discounts.
However…
In general, its sales couldn’t be as good as that of the Taotao Online Marketplace during the shopping festival. But it was an impressive result for a store only selling local specialties!
The numbers were rolling wildly.
As time went by, everyone didn’t want to miss a second. They concentrated on browsing the entire super online store and looking for their favorite products.
Half an hour later…
The sales of the super online store exceeded 500 million yuan.
At this very moment…
This data broke the sales record of one food store in the Taotao Online Marketplace at its shopping carnival on October 11th!
As time went on…
Even late at night, everyone was still enthusiastic.
Some handmade products with limited numbers had all been sold out.
Three hours later…
The sales pa.s.sed the 700 million yuan mark!
Until the next morning…
Everyone got up at seven or eight o’clock for work. They opened their mobile phones and entered the super online store in the Taotao Online Marketplace. There, they saw the string of numbers.
Everyone was stunned!
It was 900 million!
Fang Qiu’s super online store had just opened for only one night. Nevertheless, its sales had reached 900 million yuan. It was terrifying!
Of course…
Most importantly, everyone knew the store could sell goods worth 900 million yuan, even at night.
Because of various reasons, not many people bought things at night. Now that the night had pa.s.sed, the sales number would grow continuously during the day, and it might even skyrocket!
This time, the bosses in the local specialties industry could no longer sit still.
