Chapter 246 About Car Orders
"Will I not need to charge my car in the future? I can just sit in the sun and drive dozens of kilometers to work every day."
"Don't get too excited yet. This advanced photovoltaic industry doesn't have large-scale production. What will its price be? Will the price skyrocket when it's installed on trucks?"
"Transsion can keep prices down. You'll know how they do it if you just look at how they make their phones."
Related media outlets are also following up with reports, but they are focusing more on Transsion's technology and the start of pre-sales.
However, various media outlets are conservative about sales figures and are not optimistic about Transsion's first car.
There's an old saying that applies to every industry: no matter how big a company is, don't have high expectations for its first product in a new business. The user experience will never be great.
"Order first, then start mass production; we only need to stock up on 5000 yuan."
"That's right, what's there to be afraid of? Mr. Zhang said that as long as the order isn't locked, it can be refunded."
"Hehe, there has never been such a thing as refunding a deposit since ancient times. Chuanyin has just come up with a new term to cheat you out of your money."
……
Meanwhile, more than half an hour after the press conference ended, the entire technical team remained at the venue.
It's not that they don't want to leave, but that their battlefield hasn't even begun yet.
Zhang Bin stood in the makeshift monitoring center, facing a wall full of screens.
Various data points are displayed on the screen: concurrency, number of orders, payment success rate, and server load.
"Mr. Zhang, the pre-sale server is ready." Technical Director Zhang Mingyang walked over, holding a steaming cup of coffee.
"I have made ample preparations and conducted stress tests based on a capacity of 10 concurrent users and 2 orders. Cars are not mobile phones, so it is definitely enough."
Han Mingyang's tone was full of confidence. After all, this data was based on five times the capacity of the industry's best-selling models, and he didn't believe that it could be overloaded.
Zhang Bin nodded, but he still felt a little uneasy.
"Where's the boss?"
"Backstage, I was discussing business with General Manager Liu."
"Okay. Call me before the sale starts." Zhang Bin took a few steps, but his heart was getting more and more anxious. He quickly stopped. "Connect to the cloud server and add another 20 concurrent connections."
We're currently in the spotlight, and many consumers might be curious and visit our official website.
We must ensure their experience and not miss out on these unexpected customers.
Han Mingyang was a little skeptical, but he still chose to carry out the order.
Time passed by, second by second.
The press conference ended at 11:30, and the reservation channel opened at 1:00.
The hour and a half in between is for users to process the information and for the technical team to do a final check.
At 12:45, abnormalities began to appear on the monitoring screen.
"Mr. Zhang!" an engineer called out, "Look at this."
Zhang Bin and Han Mingyang quickly went over and saw a curve slowly rising.
"What data?" Zhang Bin asked.
"The website's traffic is currently at 12:45, with 15 minutes left before the pre-sale. However, the traffic has already exceeded our predicted peak."
Currently, the Transsion Mall and Transsion official website have received 15 visits, far exceeding the usual number of visits to the mall.
Based on the data, it is speculated that most of these people are targeting Transsion vehicles.
At 12:50, the number of online users exceeded 20.
55 points to surpass 25.
At this moment, Han Mingyang showed an admiring expression. It was thanks to President Zhang's foresight in making preparations in advance; otherwise... he could have retired early.
At 12:58, Zhang Bin rushed to Shen Fei's side.
"Boss, something's not right. The data has exceeded our expectations; the number of people online has now surpassed 35."
Our initial sales forecast might be a bit conservative.
Shen Fei quickly came over and looked at the data on the screen: 40 people.
10:1的小定转化量，大概是4万台，100:1的锁单转化量，大概是4000台。
Indeed, it's already secured.
"Forget about sales for now, let's summarize the server situation. When connecting to a cloud server, never try to handle it head-on. If problems arise, it will have a huge impact on our reputation."
"I've already had the technicians do it, there absolutely won't be any problems with this."
…………
At 1:00 PM sharp, the pre-sale channel opened on time.
Zhang Bin stared at the curve on the screen, and then his pupils dilated.
It's not that the curve is rising, it's that the curve is flying.
Within a second, the number of concurrent requests surged from 40 to 65.
The server started issuing alarms, and at the same time, technicians began diverting traffic, with some requests connecting to the cloud server.
Han Mingyang also began to give instructions. Fortunately, the telepathic communication had a coordinated logic; otherwise…
With his 10 visits, it's not even enough to fill a tooth gap.
The number of orders was also growing rapidly. In a short time, the number of orders had exceeded 8000, then quickly jumped to 15000, then 2, 3...
At 1:59, the number stopped at 62852.
Zhang Bin and Han Mingyang read the number aloud three times.
Sixty-two thousand eight hundred and fifty-two units.
Their target was 2 units.
"Mr. Zhang, the order statistics are in." Li Zhang walked over, his face showing the same blank expression.
"Small orders: 62852 units."
A deposit of 5000 yuan per unit was required, totaling 3.1426 million yuan.
Within one hour of pre-sales, the amount reached 300 million.
There wasn't the expected excitement in the meeting room; after all, Transsion phones generated more than that in just one hour of sales.
However, this is just a deposit, and the amount is still quite staggering.
Shen Fei walked over and patted them on the shoulder.
"I've seen the data; the results are very good."
Zhang Bin looked up at Shen Fei and said, "Boss, it seems I owe a lot of money for a car."
Shen Fei smiled and said, "We've only just begun."
Although this number is alarming, it is not the largest number Shen Fei has ever seen.
After all, he had seen a competitor release their first car, and within just one hour of the launch event, they had 20 orders locked in, and the server didn't even crash.
That's truly impressive. In their presence, one still needs to practice telepathy.
That afternoon, Transsion Motors, Transsion Terminals, Huawei Terminals, and Shenfei's personal Weibo account all posted a congratulatory message.
Transsion's first-day orders: "82250 people. Thank you to everyone who trusts Transsion."
Below this line is a real-time updated order counter.
Each jump represents a user paying a deposit.
After the Weibo post was published, the entire online media was filled with news about Transsion Motors.
The comments section was filled with voices of envy.
"Are those 2+ units real? Is this some kind of fake order?"
"Fake orders? You try it yourself. A 5000 yuan deposit for over 80,000 units, that's 400 million yuan. Who can afford that?"
"You're all too young. To Transmission, this is just a set of numbers..."
Meanwhile, a singer who originally wanted to officially announce his new song decided to give up after seeing this Weibo post, since releasing it at this time would only have a negative impact on his public image.
He doesn't like that title.
