On the night of the 10th at 10:00 PM, the entire Zhang Family was not asleep; instead, they were chatting in the living room, all waiting for the arrival of midnight.
Zhang Ran was not waiting for it; although he cared about these things, he was not that urgent, so he was just keeping Zhang Sicheng and the others company—it was actually the opposite of his family keeping him company.
The family just chatted like this, eating fruit, waiting for the time to slowly pass.
"Dad, do you have confidence?" Zhang Sicheng asked.
Zhang Ran said, "Confidence in what?"
"In this Double Eleven, of course," Zhang Sicheng said.
"What is there to have confidence in? Anyway, it has already reached this point, so whatever happens, happens," Zhang Ran said indifferently.
Zhang Sicheng was left a bit stunned by his father saying this, and after reacting, he couldn't help but say, "With such a big matter, aren't you worried at all?"
"Is being worried useful? Besides, for our Zhang Family, this is just a relatively large attempt, far from being a gamble with our entire fortune. Even if we lose, the impact on our family won't be to a degree that is unacceptable, so why should I be worried?" Zhang Ran retorted.
Zhang Sicheng was speechless, and at the same time, his understanding of his family's foundation was refreshed once again.
Simply put, Zhang Sicheng was too lazy to talk to Zhang Ran anymore; he just silently began to wait to see what the final result would be.
It was not just the Zhang Family waiting; many people were also not asleep at this very moment, and instead, they were all feeling somewhat uneasy.
Zhao Lifeng, Huang Lin, and so on and so forth.
At 11:30, Zhao Lifeng couldn't help but call over, only to be lectured by Zhang Ran and sheepishly hang up the phone.
Zhang Ran then looked at the two little ones who were already sleepy and said, "Xiao Lu, you take the two little ones to bed first."
Liu Lu nodded, but at 11:50, after getting the two little ones settled, she came back to the living room, which made Zhang Ran feel a bit helpless.
His family placed so much importance on this that it made it hard for him to go to sleep, so he could only wait along with them.
At 11:59, the hands of Zhang Sicheng, Zhang Siyan, and Liu Lu all clenched involuntarily, and they became increasingly anxious.
Actually, they couldn't see any information here; after all, this wasn't Lin'an, but that didn't stop them from being nervous and expectant.
Lin'an.
Zhao Lifeng stayed in the conference room; all the teams had already arrived, and Zhao Lifeng checked the time, noting there were about five minutes left, and couldn't help but say again, "Everything is fine, right?"
"Chairman, no problem, we have checked it no less than ten times."
"There must not be any problems," Zhao Lifeng said once more, and the others were not surprised; in fact, they were all nervous to death themselves.
10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1!
As the countdown ended, the total sales of Fengli Net appeared on the big screen.
0!
1124!
10123!
158752!
The numbers jumped and began to grow at an astonishing speed, making everyone's hearts jump wildly!
"Quick, go check the servers; there must not be any problems at this time." At this moment, Zhao Lifeng had instead calmed down.
When he hadn't seen the results, he was uneasy, but once things started moving, he would quickly calm down and then arrange the next steps.
Just as he was speaking, the numbers were still jumping incessantly; one minute later, the sales reached ten million!
Everyone's hearts jumped wildly again; ten million in sales in one minute! This was something they could hardly imagine before.
But this was just the beginning; two minutes passed, and the sales broke through to thirty million!
Three minutes, the sales broke through sixty million!
Four minutes, the sales reached ninety million!
Before five minutes were up, the sales broke one hundred million!
At the moment it broke one hundred million, except for Zhao Lifeng, everyone else was celebrating wildly, and the sound carried directly to the office area, causing many people who were still working overtime to look over.
They also had their guesses in their hearts, knowing that this must be a huge success, otherwise there wouldn't be such loud cheers.
These people were in no mood to work now; the bolder ones ran over directly and began to secretly observe the situation.
Zhao Lifeng saw the situation and had someone open the main door directly, allowing everyone to come in and see.
Ten minutes passed, and the sales reached an astonishing two hundred and fifty million!
For a moment, the cheers that had been in the room slowly died down; they were all shocked by this number.
Although these sales were not profit, and there might not even be any profit this time, after all, this Double Eleven was a real, solid, large-scale discount promotion.
Especially with home appliances, Fengli Group had subsidized a lot into it, and it was even uncertain if they would lose money on these two hundred and fifty million.
But not one person felt it was unacceptable, because they all knew what this represented.
Whether they were making money right now didn't matter; as long as there were customers and sales volume, they would definitely make money in the future.
Moreover, this Double Eleven of their Fengli Group might become the benchmark for the industry.
Now, many online shopping platforms had their own festivals, but the influence was not great; after all, there were too many platforms—you have one, I have one—and it was too hard to make everyone remember them.
The biggest reason this time was that Fengli Group was willing to spend money; advertising fees, promotional fees, and so on, the costs had already broken through the sky.
Now the effect was showing, and it also proved that this money was not spent in vain.
Zhao Lifeng felt some emotion in his heart at this moment; Mr. Zhang was still Mr. Zhang after all. Although Zhang Ran rarely intervened in company matters, he would still put forward some opinions.
This advertising plan was decided by Zhang Ran; Zhang Ran had set for them how much money they must spend on advertising.
Actually, Zhao Lifeng didn't have many thoughts about this before; he had the same thoughts as some others—there were simply too many online shopping promotion days now, so many that people couldn't remember them at all.
And spending so much money on advertising now, the effect might be far less than the expenditure.
But now he knew he was wrong; the advertising effect this time was far greater than the advertising cost.
Zhang Ran was not very surprised by this, because the advertising intensity of those other online shopping promotions was definitely not as great as theirs.
And this time they were doing it for real, especially in terms of electrical appliances, where the price was truly discounted by thirty percent.
As long as anyone with a discerning eye looked, they could understand the intensity of it.
That is why there is such an effect; once the reputation is established and the customers are retained, then it is time to recoup the costs.
At this moment, Zhao Lifeng could no longer hold back and began to call Zhang Ran again, "Mr. Zhang, can you guess how much the sales volume has reached?"
When Zhang Ran's phone rang, the gazes of Sicheng and the others all turned toward him in unison, and Zhang Ran asked with a calm expression, "Has it reached ten billion?"
