Reborn on the Internet: Starting with Games

Chapter 484 The long-lost lag

Everyone in the command center was busy with solemn expressions.

Lei Jun asked again about the preparations for each link. During the process, he spoke calmly and commanded calmly and orderly, which invisibly gave strong confidence to all employees present.

Lei Jun clasped his hands behind his back, knowing that this was the only way he could control his slightly trembling hands.

He was about to become the center of attention and the center of attention. Only now did he understand the huge pressure Chen Hao was under a few months ago.

Everyone has done so much preparation work in the past, all for today. I guess Chen Hao must be as nervous as himself in the office now.

You must succeed and don’t let your hair down. May the Buddha bless you, Amen! Lei Jun thought in his heart.

At 9:49, he took the microphone and walked onto the stage that belonged to him.

Looking at the employees fighting with him in the company in front of him, Lei Jun slowly closed his eyes and inhaled slowly, then exhaled to ease the tension.

When he was ready, he made an OK gesture below.

Live broadcast begins!

"Good morning everyone, I am Lei Jun, CEO of Orange Technology. In a moment, you will witness the live launch of Orange Technology's first product, the new generation smartphone oPhone. We can see your continued enthusiasm during this period. Keep gratitude in your heart and put it into action.

Consumers are God, and for this reason, this short video is our sincerity to God during this time. "

As Lei Jun snapped his fingers, the screen behind him lit up, playing the editing and assembly process of oPhones from parts to finished products. Mobile phones came down from the assembly line, were inspected and packed into boxes. The screen kept switching between boxes of oPhones. The mobile phones were loaded into the trucks, and the trucks filed out and sped away.

Then the screen changed into a national map, starting from the five major factories of Orange Technology, with countless truck icons speeding towards sales points across the country.

The short film ends, leaving a few numbers on the big screen.

5 major factories, 89 specialty stores, and 158 mobile cooperation halls are ready

1972 million reservations, 710 million pre-sales, sales:?

After a 10-second pause, other numbers on the screen disappeared, oPhone sales came to the middle of the screen, and the question mark turned into 0.

There are four slightly smaller numbers below, with an icon in front of each, representing the sales volume of online: Orange official website, JD.com; offline: Orange stores and mobile business halls.

What you can't see in the live broadcast is that there are several screens in front of Lei Jun.

Teleprompter, live broadcast room barrage, guide prompts and data overview statistics page of each dimension.

"While there are still a few minutes, let me first explain the meaning of the numbers on the screen.balabala"

Lei Jun then briefly mentioned the precautions. For example, for users who have previously paid a deposit, the pre-sale qualification will be calculated from the time of sale and will be retained for 3 days. Failure to pay for more than 3 days will be deemed as giving up the qualification, and the deposit will be returned in the same way. I repeated the five major pre-sale benefits and other things.

Unlike Chen Hao's emotional pull, Lei Jun's performance was more satisfactory and focused on stability. After all, the most important thing now is not the gimmicks or the ups and downs, but the smooth completion of the process.

At 9:59, a one-minute countdown started at the top of the screen.

"Next is the moment when we are about to witness a miracle. We will be able to set a new world record, and you will be the participants and witnesses of this record. Everyone is ready to count down to 10 with me."

"Thirteen, Tuesday, One, oPhone is on sale!"

Lei Jun waved his big hand back and pressed the button of the remote control heavily, one second, two seconds, three seconds

The numbers on the big screen behind him were all zeros. A cold current ran from Lei Jun's tailbone all the way to Tianling Gai, and then exploded, freezing his soul. Sweat broke out all at once, soaking the back of his shirt. He was cold inside and hot outside, and it was extremely painful.

Lei Jun stood on the stage like a statue frozen for thousands of years.

What I have in my hand is the remote control that starts the pre-sale, not the detonator of the bomb. Could it be that the system has crashed?

The fourth second, the fifth second

Looking at the busy crowd under the stage, he felt that the sounds around him had disappeared, and he could only hear the pounding sound of his own heart.

In just a few seconds, Lei Jun felt that hundreds of millions of years had passed, experiencing the change of seasons, the destruction of the earth, and the collapse of the universe.

A few hundred meters away from Orange Technology, Chen Hao's action of eating melon seeds stopped like the numbers on the screen.

Countless users were squatting in front of their computers, preparing to snap up purchases. Some of them found that although the snap-up button turned red, there was no response when they clicked it.

It took a long time to prompt that the system is busy, please refresh and try again! But even refreshing the web page is extremely slow.

The barrage in the live broadcast room exploded instantly. Some of them were reacting to the problem, and most of them were just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously, and some were mocking Orange Technology's technology.

Looking at the live broadcast in the laptop, Lei Jun looked like a sculpture on the stage.

"Grass" Lin Lang, who was sitting in the computer room of the Century Giant Hardware, lowered his legs that were originally crossed and breathed out sweet fragrance to express his emotions at this time.

Quickly switch to the screen monitoring data page, and sure enough, the load curve on the screen didn't even say hello, a dragon raised its head and directly reached the critical value.

Looking at the specific data, Lin Lang was secretly stunned. Is it so crazy to buy a mobile phone now? This data is considered a record high in the company's history.

He was typing on the keyboard with his hands, and without looking back he was giving instructions to his subordinates, "I will limit the flow first, Mr. Zhang, find someone to add the spare machines first, and wait until the peak of the wave passes smoothly before we talk about the speed."

"Roger that!" With an order, all the Century Giant engineers responsible for this project started to move.

The technical person in charge in the audience of the live broadcast hall here turned green when he saw his boss motionless on the stage. He had even thought about where to bury him after his death.

But now is not the time to be stunned. Looking at the various data in front of you, all surged to the top in an instant. This was caused by the impact of too much instantaneous traffic.

In fact, the technology side has already anticipated the scenario of heavy traffic and has been fully prepared, even using the software and hardware resources within the group.

However, the enemy was too fierce. Even though the traffic had been highly underestimated before, the instantaneous high concurrency data still exceeded everyone's expectations. The dam of Orange Technology still failed to withstand the first wave of impact. Some rain passed.

In fact, the technology side has prepared two plans, real-time statistics and a combination of virtual and real data. The latter is to obtain real data through the interface at regular intervals, and then use algorithms and strategies to randomly increase the numbers, so that the fake ones are confused with the real ones for display.

The result of this display is real, but the process is fake.

Anyway, no one knows the real sales situation, so just randomly adding numbers in the process will fool you.

But they still used real sales statistics with higher risks. After all, all Century's products focus on authenticity.

This plan became the backup Plan B. He hurried back to his computer and was about to switch to Plan B.

But I found that the numbers on the screen had changed.
