Chapter 389: Single-day sales of 5.07 billion! BUG incident, fulfill the contract or cancel the order?
Ten thirty in the evening, Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park.
Except for Building No. 5 and Building No. 6 which were still brightly lit, the employees of Orange Technology, Today Technology and Orange Payment had already left work, and the buildings were pitch black inside and out.
"These bastards! They're trying to cheat me out of my overtime pay again!"
Chen Yansen sat on a rattan chair on the rooftop balcony, smiling and cursing softly.
Does Mr. Chen care about the overtime pay? Of course not! Pinbei's monthly gross profit is as high as 3 billion yuan. Even if everyone works 24 hours a day, the salary expenditure is just a drop in the bucket for the company.
But today is the '38 Good Products Festival'. Although the level of promotion is not as high as 618, Double Eleven and Double Twelve, it is also the most important e-commerce event in Q1.
The tradition of Pinbei’s big promotions has always been: barbecue, hot pot, beer, fried chicken and braised food.
Like a mascot! Chen Yansen secretly complained.
As the boss, he naturally has to stay in the company and take charge.
Otherwise, he would have returned to the Delta to study the lock core structure of Mengjie or Song Yuncheng, or gone to Master Ye's house to drink a bowl of authentic Sichuan-style sweet soup.
Smelling the barbecue aroma wafting up from the first floor, Chen Yansen patted his belly. Just as he was about to go downstairs for some midnight snack, the phone on the table started vibrating.
"Boss, are you still awake?" Liao Wei asked cautiously.
"What's the matter? Want to tell me a bedtime story?" Chen Yansen asked jokingly.
After hearing this, Liao Wei grinned and said, "If the boss needs it, I can help you."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get down to business," said Chen Yansen.
"Air China's 13 second-hand passenger planes have just been delivered. Just like the original ones, they will be taken to Temasek for modification and are expected to be put into use in July," Liao Wei explained slowly.
He finished reporting the main business first, then got to the point: "Air China has a brand new Gulfstream G550 business jet, which is priced at only 46 million US dollars."
"The same style as Ma Liyun?" Chen Yansen asked back.
At the beginning of the year, Ma also bought a Gulfstream G550 for a package price of US$49.7 million.
It was Zhang Chaoyang who told him the news.
Liao Wei laughed and said, "That's right! The president of Suntech Group originally commissioned Air China to purchase this plane, but their company had a funding problem last year and they are in urgent need of money, so they want to sell it for cash."
Suntech?
It took Chen Yansen less than a second to remember the general situation of the company, because the several packaging factories acquired by Yunsu Express were subsidiaries of the other party.
"46 million US dollars is not expensive. I'll let Lao Gao contact you later." Chen Yansen said after thinking for a while.
The price of a new Gulfstream G550 is about 50 million US dollars, and the price of a second-hand one is about 30 million US dollars.
By purchasing it in the name of Senlian Capital and then registering it in the fleet of Yunsu Express, some management and maintenance costs can be saved.
With business activities becoming more and more frequent, it is understandable to purchase a private jet.
As for second-hand aircraft, Mr. Chen would not even consider it.
Whether it's cars or airplanes, Boss Chen never uses second-hand goods.
"Okay, boss. Then you should go to bed early." Liao Wei replied.
Chen Yansen put away his cell phone, stood up and walked towards the elevator, planning to take a walk around and then go home after get off work.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator door slowly opened.
"boss!"
"Brother Sen!"
Several employees from the Investment and Operation Department quickly greeted them.
Chen Yansen nodded slightly and caught a glimpse of Zhang Yifeng, Chen Xu, Li Hui and Yuan Wei from afar, who were eating skewers and drinking together.
In fact, this is basically the case with e-commerce promotions. Once the preliminary work is done, there will be nothing to do on the day.
"Brother Sen!" After seeing Chen Yansen, Li Hui quickly put down his beer and skewers, helped him move a chair, and placed it right in front of the group.
Chen Yansen was not polite either. He sat down, took the beer handed to him by Zhang Yifeng, took a big sip, and then asked, "Have you received 3 billion?"
Zhang Yifeng and Yuan Wei smiled at each other, then shook their heads.
"Brother Sen, our daily sales are 1.2 billion yuan. Will it be several times higher after the big sale? Mr. Huang said that if we fail to achieve the sales target of 4 billion, our Q1 performance will be discounted." Chen Xu said.
"Brother Sen, it's already 4.83 billion, and it's estimated to be around 5 billion." Li Hui was the most honest person, and he didn't dare to keep his boss in suspense, so he told the truth.
Chen Yansen was slightly surprised and thought: The golden age of the e-commerce industry is getting closer.
"If you achieve the 5 billion target, your Q1 bonus coefficient will be increased by 0.2," Chen Yansen said casually.
"Thank you, Brother Sen."
Hearing this, several people smiled and responded in unison.
There is more than an hour left until midnight, and it's only 200 million. It's so easy.
They know in their hearts that this is just the boss's excuse for a 'salary increase'.
Although Pinbei has twelve salaries a year, with the addition of four quarterly bonuses each year, the minimum is sixteen salaries and the maximum is twenty-four salaries.
During every big sale, there is an additional reward mechanism.
For example, Zhang Yifeng received 26 months' salary last year.
"It's getting late. I'm going to go back first. I won't stay with you guys any longer."
Chen Yansen only sat for a few minutes before waving his hand and leaving.
at the same time.
Although Liu Qiangdong is in the beacon country, he still can't let go of his attention to the performance of Dongfang's big promotion.
In a high-end apartment, he leaned on the sofa, staring at the computer screen.
The data background page clearly shows the total transaction volume of Dongfang's '38 Big Sale': 2.27 billion.
No surprises, no joys, not very good, but not bad either.
Liu Qiangdong let out a long sigh, turned his head to look towards the kitchen, and a slender figure came into view.
The high ponytail, pure and cute, made him feel as if he had returned to twenty years ago and relived the beauty of his youth.
People cannot possess youth forever, but they can capture the breath of youth in a young body.
Handsome Dong is enjoying his life recently.
"Old Liu, please get me a bottle of red wine so I can make some soup." The girl's clear and pleasant voice rang out.
Handsome Dong came to his senses and walked straight to the wine cabinet.
At this time, it was just past midnight in the country, and Pinbei's final sales volume was fixed at 5.06 billion.
In a rental house in Jinling, Li Chang arrived before the end of the event and finally bought the ukulele he had longed for for 390 yuan.
I wanted to turn off the computer and go to sleep, but I found a group buying activity page on the homepage of Dongfang.
Yidong is also doing group buying? Li Chang, out of curiosity, clicked into Yidong's group buying channel. The UI style of the webpage is very similar to Kuaipao.
The categories are mainly hotels and travel.
He dragged the mouse and flipped through a few pages.
Suddenly, Li Chang stopped what he was doing, wiped his eyes quickly, and looked at the screen.
"A romantic trip to the ancient cherry blossom city, staying in a five-star hotel, and a three-day and two-night free trip."
The group purchase package includes scenic spot tickets and hotel accommodation.
The most important thing is that the price is only 1 dollar!
Is Dong crazy?
He didn't think much about it. He clicked buy, entered his phone number, submitted the order, and finally paid. The whole process was completed in one go.
Soon, the mobile phone received the group purchase coupon information sent by Dong.
Not a flash sale?
It's a BUG!
Li Chang immediately realized that the platform clerk must have set the wrong price.
Thinking of this, he changed the order quantity to 999 pieces without hesitation.
To his great surprise, the payment process was also successfully completed.
The original price was 999 yuan, but now it’s only 1 yuan.
Even if you can’t use it all yourself, you can sell it online to others. Two nights in a five-star hotel for 500 yuan, it will definitely be snapped up by people.
1,000 copies means 500,000! Li Chang was breathing heavily, his face flushed, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep at all.
“Ding ding ding——!”
The constant notification sounds from the phone interrupted his thoughts.
For every product purchased, Yidong would send a group purchase coupon message to the orderer, and he just bought 999 of them in one go.
In other words, there are still hundreds of text messages on the way.
The phone is getting hotter!
Li Chang was afraid that this thing would explode, so he quickly removed the back cover and took out the battery.
Later, he saw that he could still place orders for group-buying products, so he bought another 2,000 copies.
At the same time, he was not the only user who discovered the bug in Yidong. Users from all over the country began to place orders crazily.
In just half an hour, 50,000 copies of the group-buying product were sold.
It was not until the stock was sold out that the user regretted it and slapped his thigh and said: Why didn’t I buy a few more copies?
Many users who got the bargains were afraid that the seller would not be able to afford it, so they posted the products on Taobao Second-hand Website (the predecessor of Xiaohuangyu) overnight.
The highest price is 600 yuan and the lowest is 10 yuan.
"Stupid! Do you have any brains to sell it at such a low price?"
Li Chang originally wanted to set the price at 500 yuan, but after seeing a bunch of prices of 10 yuan, 50 yuan, and 100 yuan, he simply changed the price to 88 yuan.
Two nights in a five-star hotel plus a ticket to the Sakura Ancient Town only cost 88 yuan, and dozens of tickets were sold out in an instant.
This night was a carnival for the wool party, but Dong was still unaware of it.
Li Chang didn't sleep all night. Looking at the estimated income of more than 30,000 yuan, the corners of his mouth were stretched to the back of his ears.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Sun Yang, who was in charge of the operations of the group buying channel and travel categories of Yidong, showed ecstasy on his face as soon as he opened the data backend.
On the first day of the event, the best-selling product sold 50,000 copies.
This month’s performance is stable!
When his peripheral vision caught sight of the transaction amount column, he was completely stunned.
Why is it only 50,000 yuan? The average order price is only 1 yuan!
Shit! What’s going on! Sun Yang’s hands were shaking uncontrollably, and he couldn’t even hold the mouse.
He understood that there was a BUG and it was a very serious matter!
After a while, he sorted out his thoughts and found the person responsible for the accident in the operation log.
An intern who had just joined the testing team installed the product link of the testing environment in the production environment.
The loss was as much as 50 million! Fortunately, it had nothing to do with him!
But he knew in his heart that this month's performance was amazing! "Damn, what a talent!"
Sun Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He compressed the sorted information and sent it directly to his supervisor.
"What? The first day's data of the group buying channel?" The supervisor looked confused.
"Boss, Zhang Jianhao from the testing team has placed the test products in the production environment." Sun Yang explained.
"Fuck! What an idiot! Take the product off the shelves right away!" The supervisor came to his senses instantly.
"Sold out." Sun Yang replied.
"What? Sold out! How much stock is there?" the supervisor asked.
"Fifty thousand." Sun Yang replied immediately.
"..." The supervisor was so disheartened that he wanted to pick up a knife and chop someone on the spot.
He rushed out of the office and ran to the testing team's work area, cursing loudly, "How can you cheat people like this?"
Although the test team was responsible for most of the accident, the operation staff failed to find the BUG product in time. Does that mean they have no responsibility? The boss above doesn't care about that!
The news quickly reached Xu Lei's ears. His face was grim, his eyes were filled with fire, his right hand was clenched so hard that it made a creaking sound, and his teeth were clenched tightly together.
The boss went to study in the beacon country, and within a month, a big trouble broke out.
How should he explain to Liu Qiangdong?
Is the group buying channel going to become a joke in the industry on the first day of its launch?
Xu Lei's scalp felt numb, as if he had been electrocuted. After thinking for a moment, he called the heads of the technical and customer service departments.
"Cancel all the orders. If there are any customer complaints, each person will be compensated with 10 yuan in Beijing coupons without any threshold. If the complaint is made with strong intention, 20 yuan will be given." Xu Lei ordered in a cold voice.
"Cancel all? I looked at the data, and it involves a total of 23,000 users. If it causes large-scale customer complaints, the Municipal Supervision Association will come to me for a chat." The head of the customer service department said with a dark face.
"Not cancel? Are you going to fulfill all the contracts? Do you know how much the loss will be?" Xu Lei asked back.
If it was 5 million, he would have accepted it! But a loss of 50 million was too much to swallow, it would kill him.
"Call the boss to synchronize. I don't approve of people acting on their own initiative." The head of the technical department said in a deep voice.
"I agree." The head of the customer service department echoed.
This matter has little to do with him.
The testing team and operation team of the group buying channel are the ones who should take the blame.
If he agreed to Xu Lei's solution and the big boss held him accountable afterwards, he would also be implicated and might even get scolded.
"The boss has given me full authority to handle the company's daily operations." Xu Lei said with an unhappy look on his face.
"Mr. Xu, what if you and the boss disagree?" the head of the customer service department advised.
"This matter has a significant impact. I suggest that Mr. Xu communicate with the boss first." The head of the technical department added.
Xu Lei was angry and furious when he saw that the two were unwilling to listen to his orders.
After the two men walked out of the office, he took out his cell phone and after hesitating for a moment, he called Liu Qiangdong.
The other side.
Liu Qiangdong was sleeping soundly, holding the soft girl in his arms. He felt like he had returned to twenty years ago, but his physical condition could never go back to the same state.
The phone on the table rang for dozens of seconds, waking up the girl in his arms, but the handsome Dong was still sleeping soundly.
"Lao Liu, Lao Liu, Lao Liu!" The girl knew his identity and shook his shoulders hard, worried that he had missed an important call.
Liu Qiangdong opened his eyes dazedly, feeling a sense of weakness in his waist. He looked at the innocent girl in front of him and subconsciously asked, "Xiaotian, what's wrong?"
"Your phone rang three times in a row." Zhang Jintian reminded in a low voice.
Handsome Dong cursed inwardly, picked up the phone on the bedside table, and after seeing the caller ID, he pressed the answer button.
"50,000 orders of goods worth 1,000 yuan were sold?" After listening to Xu Lei's report, Liu Qiangdong suddenly felt enlightened and he was no longer sleepy.
Fulfill or cancel the order?
Liu Qiangdong frowned deeply, caught in a dilemma.
…
…
"Did the Dongjin Group buy the track?"
Chen Yansen was lying on a soft couch beside the pool when he received a call from Huang Zheng and learned about the BUG of the 1 yuan product.
