Back on the 26th floor, Zhang Yiming went to Lin Chen's office with a smile.
"Mr. Lin, your ability to dig a hole is too strong. Now a lot of people are uninstalling Taobao's big data software."
Lin Chen was confused: "What did I do?"
"You replied to netizens' questions, and then the netizens went to Taobao's Weibo to leave comments, but Taobao either didn't see them or something, and didn't reply for a long time, which led to a group of netizens uninstalling Taobao's big data."
"Oh, there's such a good thing? That's definitely worth celebrating with a barbecue."
At that moment, Jack Ma was fuming in a conference room at Taobao headquarters.
"Can anyone tell me what exactly happened? If I don't get a reasonable explanation today, everyone in the operations department will have their bonuses deducted."
The entire room fell silent.
Jack Ma rubbed his temples: "Let's start with the person in charge of maintaining Weibo."
The young woman in charge of Weibo maintenance stood up timidly and said, "Mr. Ma, my first thought was to report to the leadership, but all the leaders in our department were busy with Double Eleven and I couldn't find anyone, so I wrote an email to our supervisor."
"Who is her supervisor? Tell us next."
The supervisor stood up and said, "Mr. Ma, I forwarded the email to our director as soon as I saw it."
"And the Operations Director? Continue."
"Mr. Ma, I sent it to your email immediately after seeing it..."
Jack Ma was taken aback, took out his phone, and glanced at his email.
Sure enough, an unread email lay quietly inside.
The worst thing is when the air suddenly goes quiet...
It's frustrating to not be able to vent my anger. Besides, someone has to take the blame for this. If no one takes the blame, am I supposed to take the blame?
Suddenly, the director gaped in shock.
Jack Ma simply moved his finger and deleted the email.
Then he slammed his hand on the table and loudly demanded, "Where's the email? Huh? Don't you ever check if the email was sent successfully? Don't you know where my office is?"
"I……"
"What do you mean 'you'? Your bonus for this month is all deducted. That's settled. Meeting adjourned!"
After saying that, Jack Ma walked out of the conference room without looking back, giving everyone no chance to react.
Back in his office, Jack Ma immediately closed the door; it was incredibly awkward.
After taking a sip of water and calming down, Jack Ma started thinking of a solution. No matter what, this matter definitely needed to be resolved.
This is not just about this group of Taobao big data users; it's about the reputation of Taobao's big data.
After thinking for a while, Jack Ma's eyes suddenly lit up. He had an idea. Although the current situation was terrible, it was attracting a lot of attention.
Therefore, this is a perfect opportunity to take a step back and then advance, and promote Taobao Mobile.
So Jack Ma personally wrote a piece of copy and sent it to the operations director, asking him to post it on Weibo.
"Hello to all loyal Taobao fans. We apologize for not being able to respond to your questions in time because everyone at Taobao was busy preparing for Double Eleven."
We at Taobao Big Data solemnly promise that we are a neutral platform and guarantee that we can search for information from any online shopping platform, not only Taobao, but also JD.com, Amazon, Pinduoduo, etc. Please rest assured.
To express our apologies, all our fans can log in to the Taobao mobile app to claim a 5 RMB no-minimum-spend coupon for Singles' Day. Happy shopping!
After Taobao issued its apology statement, it still garnered understanding from a large number of netizens.
After all, people look at the money, not the horse's face. Although five yuan isn't much, every little bit counts, and it's a deal with zero barriers to entry.
As a result, some netizens reinstalled Taobao's big data service. Not only that, many people also downloaded and installed the Taobao mobile app, since Taobao is the largest shopping platform in China, where you can buy almost anything.
After learning about Jack Ma's actions, Lin Chen gave him a thumbs up. Jack Ma really has some skills; he resolved this crisis and even promoted Taobao Mobile in the process.
But it doesn't matter, I didn't mean it.
Since you want to promote Taobao Mobile, how can I let you do it so easily?
As the saying goes, it's not that you're not losing out, but it's making me uncomfortable.
Following that, Huasuan.com also issued an announcement.
"To celebrate the fact that the number of platforms participating in the Double Eleven joint shopping festival of Mixin.com has exceeded ten, follow Mixin.com's official WeChat account as a friend and sign in every day to receive a random cash red envelope. A super red envelope of 888 yuan will be randomly generated every day, waiting for you to claim it."
Netizens were instantly excited upon seeing the announcement.
"Wow, really? You can get red envelopes every day? And there's even a super-sized red envelope of 888?"
"Smart people have already started following the Huasuan.com WeChat official account."
"Hey upstairs, wait for me, I'm going to download MiXin first."
"You didn't download MiXin? Although I don't use it during the day, this software is quite useful when it's quiet at night."
"Hehe, those who know, know."
"Wow, I just checked in and received ten yuan! And it was deposited directly into my Huasuan Pay account in real time."
"Really? So much? I thought it would only be a few cents."
"I also received five yuan."
Why do I only have Sanmao???
"Hahaha."
Lin Chen's move promoted three major software programs—Mixin, Huasuan.com, and Huasuan Payment—all at once, while also advertising the new WeChat official account feature. It was far more worthwhile than the five yuan that Jack Ma spent.
Once more users follow the Huasuan.com WeChat official account, we can push ads to them. Look at Lin Gou's strategy, it's amazing.
The next day marked the official launch of Xiaomi's new product.
That evening, Lin Chen bought a bunch of snacks and took An Rou to Xiaomi's conference room on the 27th floor to watch real-time data with the Xiaomi team.
"Come on, everyone, come and eat! It's so boring waiting here, there's still more than half an hour left."
Seeing the somewhat reserved crowd, Lei Jun chuckled and led the way, grabbing a handful of sunflower seeds and cracking them open.
This allowed everyone to relax, eat, chat, and laugh, completely forgetting their overtime work mindset and easing the tension.
Finally, the countdown began, and a ten-second countdown appeared on the large screen in the conference room.
"10...9...5...3...2...1!"
After the countdown ended, the sales figures for the three new products—Redmi phones, Xiaomi TVs, and Xiaomi Mi 1S—were displayed on the big screen.
Soon, the numbers started to move. To Lin Chen's surprise, the fastest growing product was not the cheapest Redmi phone, nor the most technologically advanced Xiaomi 1S phone, but rather the Xiaomi TV!
