I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 178 Explosion! Lend me the east wind and soar to the sky

November 2010, 11, lunch break.

imperial capital.

Chang Tao is a clerk in a company. He just graduated and found a pretty good job with a monthly salary of 3500 yuan.

It's just that I have a girlfriend, and the expenses are not small.

He's been clamoring to go out for a meal these days.

Hearing from colleagues that group buying websites are very popular recently, Chang Tao opened Baidu and searched for group buying websites, and a lot of them popped up.

"Xiao Chang, what about group buying?"

When colleagues at the company saw the web page Chang Tao opened, they couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, yes, Sister Li, which group buying website is better?"

Chang Tao asked casually.

There were too many, and he couldn't keep up.

What about Meituan, Lashou, Wowo, Nuomi...

"Didituan, the group purchases on this website are very cheap recently. It seems that they are having a big promotion. It is more favorable than other websites and has more activities. You can see that Baidu is promoting it!"

"Okay, let me take a look!"

There is a link to Didatuan on the search page just now.

【Just one click and it's done! 】

This advertising slogan is quite brainwashing.

Chang Tao opened the Didi group app, and what caught his eye was a banner ad at the top of the webpage.

Chang Tao knew the male star in the advertisement, but he couldn't remember his name. However, he and his girlfriend had watched his movie, Zhang Yimou's "Under the Hawthorn Tree".

"Dida spokesperson Chen Jin's romantic film "Love Is Not Blind" is now on hot group purchase, 33 yuan flash sale for a limited time!"

"Produced by Zhang Yimou, the film will be mysteriously released on Singles' Day! "

"A new movie?"

Chang Tao is quite interested in Zhang Yimou's movies.

Recently, the Double Eleven Singles' Day has been a hot topic, and it seems that there are some activities all over the Internet, especially group buying. Chang Tao also saw a Double Eleven group buying warm-up on the web page.

"Xiaoya, how about we go out for dinner next week? It's just in time for that Double Eleven thing."

Chang Tao was texting with his girlfriend.

My girlfriend Xiaoya responded quickly: "Let's just have a quick meal this weekend and celebrate next week. I heard there's a good movie coming out soon!"

"Love Is Not Blind?"

Chang Tao just saw that promotion.

"Yes, that's it. Go watch it. It's a movie about broken love, but it's said to be a comedy!"

"Okay, I'll buy the tickets. I think there's a group buy..."

"Okay, love you!"

My girlfriend Xiaoya sent me a cute emoticon package.

Chang Tao was suddenly overjoyed. He looked at the link that said "Chen Jin is the spokesperson" and clicked on it directly.

0 yuan flash sale, he wants to give it a try.

[One limited-time flash sale every hour, grab a free ticket for 1 yuan within 1 second, and 0 tickets will be given away every hour! 】

[1 minute limited time 1 yuan flash sale, first come first served, only 500 tickets sold per hour! ]

[In addition, there are occasional 11 yuan single tickets and 22 yuan couples' packages, limited to 1000 tickets! ]

……

A huge flash sale promotion webpage popped up with a countdown to the flash sale, and there were exactly 3 minutes left until 12 noon.

"Grab it and have a look!"

Chang Tao rubbed his hands and waited for 12 o'clock to come.

Da da da!
It was not yet 12 o'clock, just 11:59:30, and Chang Tao was already clicking the mouse quickly.

It’s a pity that just after 12 o’clock, a pop-up window popped up on the webpage.

[Don't be discouraged, see you in the next hour! ]

"Depend on!"

Although Chang Tao knew that he might not be able to grab it, he still cursed in dissatisfaction.

However, the web page jumped and popped up a page for a 1 yuan flash sale.

Chang Tao continued to grab.

It's still a good deal to buy a movie ticket for 1 yuan.

[Keep up the good work, you can continue~~]

This means that you didn’t get a chance, but you can still try as there are still more than 30 seconds left on the countdown on the webpage.

Chang Tao clicked the mouse frantically, and pop-up windows popped up again and again, trying again and again.

"Is this a joke?"

Chang Tao threw the mouse away. A colleague at the next table had been watching Chang Tao clicking for a long time and asked with a smile, "Taozi, what are you doing?"

"I tried to get movie tickets. They said they were selling them for 1 yuan, but I didn't get any!"

"Haha, you believe in this kind of activity? I've never won it, I'm not that lucky!"

"It's all a lie—huh?"

Chang Tao clicked again without giving up.

Duang!

A pop-up window magically popped up with a row of completely different words from the previous ones, and there was a red wedding frame.

【Congratulations, you are eligible to buy tickets for 1 yuan! 】

"Hahaha!"

Chang Tao laughed excitedly: "Did you see that? I won!"

"Can it really kill instantly?"

His colleague looked on in disbelief.

"I don't know. I just ordered a few randomly..."

Chang Tao clicked on the pop-up window, which asked him to register an account and fill in the corresponding bank account number for deduction of funds.

Of course, you can also bind Alipay.

Chang Tao didn't think much about it. After completing a series of processes, he received a redemption code on his mobile phone.

With this, you can go to a specific cinema to watch movies.

"Haidian Cinema... so far away?"

Looking at the cinema above, Chang Tao was speechless. It was not worth making this trip!

“Can I sell it online?”

"Well, I'll hang up in a moment!"

Chang Tao tried the flash sales of 11 yuan and 22 yuan, but failed to grab any. It seemed like his luck had run out.

At this time, many group purchase packages popped up at the bottom of the webpage.

There is a singles package for "Love Is Not Blind", which is divided into single tickets, popcorn, meals + movie tickets, and many other modes.

There are also couple packages, which are also available in many varieties.

"This plus the Hawker steak is only 99 yuan, so cheap!"

My girlfriend seems to want to eat Western food.

Thinking of this, Chang Tao quickly sent a message to Xiaoya to ask.

My girlfriend happily sent another message "I love you".

Chang Tao was so excited that his lips curled up a little.

Two movie tickets plus a meal cost less than 2 yuan, which he thought was a great deal. "I'll buy this, but I don't know if there are any restrictions on movie tickets..."

Chang Tao looked and found that there was a cinema near him where he could exchange the tickets. If he went to the cinema early, he could exchange the tickets and choose his seats.

“Some cinemas don’t seem to have…”

Chang Tao once visited a newly opened Wanda, which was not on this list.

But he had already clicked on the group purchase directly, and the newly opened Wanda store was quite far away from him.

"I've bought it. I can eat and watch a movie on Double Eleven, and I can also go shopping in the mall!"

"Okay, muahmuah!"

His girlfriend Xiaoya sent him a kiss emoticon, and Chang Tao directly replied with a GIF that said "Wait for me in bed at night."

For a while, porn pictures were exchanged between people.

The conversation suddenly turned into a private topic for couples, and Chang Tao became a little excited.

Thinking of the wonderful life at night, he felt that life was not so hard. At least he had a girlfriend who loved him.

"Come on, Chang Tao!"

Xiao Chang encouraged himself and immediately threw himself into the afternoon work with full enthusiasm.

He felt very hopeful these days.

In many cities in China, many young people who have just entered the workforce or university students are doing the same thing as Chang Tao and purchasing various couple packages in groups.

The movie package of "Love is Not Blind" stands out on every group buying website.

Men and women who are interested in or want to watch the movie will subconsciously click to take a look. Some will rush to buy it, some will directly click the cross, and some will participate in the event.

Therefore, the pre-sale box office of "Love Is Not Blind" is increasing rapidly.

***
"We've sold over 2000 copies this morning!"

"300 movie tickets given away, plus 1500 1-yuan flash sales!"

“More than 11 copies at 22 yuan and 1200 yuan!”

Listening to Chen Hui's report on the other end of the phone, Chen Jin had no idea about this number.

"Mr. Chen, is this sales volume good or bad?"

"Okay, sales of over 2000 units for a single product are pretty good!"

"In just this morning, the number of paying users on our website increased by more than 5000!"

"Today's paying users are expected to exceed 10,000. Didi has never had such good data before!"

Of course, this is also related to Didi's spending a lot of money on publicity.

With tens of millions of users, it is actually normal to have more than 1 paying users a day.

This is exactly the result that group buying websites want. Each paying user will create hundreds or even thousands of purchases in future transactions.

"This is only the first day. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be longer every day!"

“The 10th and 11th should be the two best days for sales!”

"If the sales on the 11th are good, we will continue to add more!"

Chen Hui was smiling on the other end of the phone, and Chen Jin understood a little: "Okay, Mr. Chen, thank you!"

"polite!"

"Actually, you don't need to call me, Brother Jin. I will send you a message as soon as there is any situation!"

"You want sales, our website needs paying users, it's a win-win situation!"

"No, I still want to thank Didi for its cooperation..."

"..."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and then Chen Jin hung up the phone.

Guo Xun, who was standing next to him, had come over. He also had a laptop in front of him, on which was opened the Didi Tuan website.

"How's it going, Jin?"

Guo Xun asked anxiously, and the other people also looked nervous.

Including Guo Xun’s wife Sun Ran.

"Didi.com has sold more than 5000 packages. I estimate that there are 7000 movie tickets, right?"

In fact, Chen Jin can see the pre-sale box office information because his system has real-time monitoring, and it is very accurate and keeps jumping rapidly.

"How many? More than 7000?"

Guo Xun looked very surprised.

"Yes, it's just the Didi website. Others like Meituan and Lashou also have it. I will pay for this subsidy, but I will pay based on the sales volume and orders!"

Only Didi is free.

As for the companies like Meituan, they were arranged by Xiong Xiaoge, and they just provide ordinary ticket subsidies.

"Then at least several hundred thousand pre-sale sales must have been made?"

Guo Xun was already getting excited.

There is still a week before the official release, and the movie sold hundreds of thousands of tickets in the morning of the first day. By the end of this week, it must have sold millions, right?
This pre-sale is almost catching up with the pre-sale box office of some big directors' movies.

You know, the pre-sale box office for "Under the Hawthorn Tree" was just over 300 million.

"It's more than 20, and several other group purchases have sold more than 1000 tickets!"

This is actually the number seen in the system.

More than 23.

It only took half a day.

"..."

Guo Xun opened his mouth, and Gong Ger, Shen Qing and Chen Su beside him all looked at Chen Jin.

The box office really exceeded their initial imagination.

"Where is this?"

"I haven't started advertising on Weibo yet, I'll post the group purchase link right away!"

Chen Jin smiled, and seeing the surprised looks on the faces of several people, he could not help but say, "In fact, the group buying website has posted more than 20 yuan for the 10 yuan. It's nothing. Don't think too much!"

“Users are also taking advantage of this!”

300 free tickets, 1500 tickets at 1 yuan for flash sales, and 11 yuan in subsidies.

For the website, it may be just over 10, which is not worth mentioning, but when reflected in the box office pre-sale, it is an exaggerated number.

But group buying sites are actually cost-effective because they gain thousands of paying users.

This wool comes from the sheep.

The profits created by thousands of paying users in the future may be far more than 10.

Business lasts for several years or even decades. For example, this is the reason why PDD recruits so many people.

Of course, group buying websites would not think that they would go bankrupt, so they spend money desperately to attract users.

"I don't understand!"

"But it's shocking. Can these group buying websites make back the money they spend?"

Guo Xun said this with some confusion.

Chen Jin was holding his phone and writing a microblog according to the soft article Chen Hui sent him. Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why do you care about others? This is a fight between capital and capital. We are just taking advantage of the east wind to get started!"

"They earn their money, and we...earn ours!"

Swish!
A group buying link of Didatuan was posted on Weibo by Chen Jin.

Currently, he has more than 150 million followers on Weibo, and he has also registered a Tencent Weibo account, which has more than 10 followers.

Tencent is also spending money like crazy. It just signed the sprinter Liu Xiang a few days ago. The number of listeners on his Tencent Weibo has now exceeded 500 million, and it seems that he will directly defeat Sina... because the number one person on Sina Weibo, Yao Dazui, has not even broken 300 million followers.

Now Tencent also wants to use money to crush Sina.

The coming year is destined to be a world of competition for global Internet capital!

And Chen Jin can take advantage of the opportunity to fish in trouble and gain huge benefits for himself in such a money-burning war!
