281: Section 281

During normal times, the order volume for Penguin Waimai would typically start to increase from this point.

By twelve o'clock.

On average, there would already be ten million different users placing orders on Penguin Waimai.

And throughout the entire day.

Basically, over forty million users would use Penguin Waimai.

And most of these users are concentrated between 11 AM and 1 PM, and from 5 PM to 8 PM.

Although there are still many users at other times, their overall proportion is less than ten percent.

Ninety percent of users basically place orders during the two time periods mentioned above.

So, the number of daily active users each day.

Can basically be estimated from the order volume during the first time period.

"Alright."

"Stop looking for now."

"Get to work."

Seeing that many people from other directions were also looking, Zheng Haidi said.

After hearing his voice, the others withdrew their gazes.

The entire day today was quite long.

So, Xiao Ma and many other Penguin executives did not come to the Penguin Waimai department immediately.

After all, they couldn't wait here like other employees, constantly watching the number of daily active users slowly increase.

Xiao Ma asked Zheng Haidi to report Penguin Waimai's daily active user performance to him at 9 PM.

The data at this time point would basically be able to confirm all the daily active numbers for the day.

Even if there were still fluctuations in the next few hours.

The fluctuation range would at most not exceed five percent.

Because of his considerable confidence in Penguin Waimai, Xiao Ma still believed that around 9 PM, the number of Penguin Waimai users for the day would be at least around thirty million.

This number would completely allow Penguin Waimai to firmly establish itself in the takeaway field.

And.

It would also be able to far surpass Ele.me and have the strength to compete with Meituan Takeaway.

This number was also the outside world's estimate for Penguin Waimai's performance today.

At this moment.

Everyone was looking forward to what Penguin Waimai's final performance would be for the day.

Under the widespread attention from the outside world.

Half an hour quickly passed.

In the Penguin Waimai department.

"Manager, why do I feel like this number is a bit off?"

"You take a look first."

Looking at the numbers on the central screen, an employee quickly stood up and found Zheng Haidi, who was engrossed in work.

Hearing this, Zheng Haidi also raised his head and looked at the large screen in the distance.

Upon seeing it.

Zheng Haidi's eyes also paused.

And the employee beside him continued to speak.

"Normally at this time, Penguin Waimai already has four to five million orders, so why is it only seven to eight hundred thousand today?"

There was also disbelief in this person's words.

And Zheng Haidi, who was beside him.

His face became somewhat pale.

Because this number was indeed too low; compared to the same period yesterday, it was even directly one-sixth less!

Although before.

Penguin internally did have some estimates for today's performance.

They knew that after the event ended, the number of users would drop significantly.

But it shouldn't be this exaggerated, right?

"Should we report to President Ma first?" The employee next to Zheng Haidi continued.

Hearing this, Zheng Haidi quickly shook his head.

"No need to rush; this is just the beginning."

"Perhaps most of today's consumption is in the evening, not now."

"Don't be affected; continue to wait."

"Okay."

Because before.

There had also been situations where the midday order volume was not high, but the evening order users exploded.

So, Zheng Haidi still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.

After all, before, the bulk of consumption had been fluctuating between noon and evening, so it was still uncertain now.

However, just as Zheng Haidi was already a bit flustered.

Wang Mo's statement from a month ago was once again brought up and once again topped the weibo hot search.

"Will Wang Mo be proven wrong this time?"

The content of the hot search.

Was Wang Mo's statement about this online cafeteria during an interview a month ago.

At that time, when interviewed, a reporter asked Wang Mo for his opinion on the online cafeteria.

And Wang Mo's answer was.

This online cafeteria function will definitely fail in the end!

At that time, Wang Mo's words had already caused quite a stir, and this time, as the crucial point for verifying these words approached, they were naturally brought up again.

But in reality.

This hot search was actually secretly bought by Xiao Ma.

He just wanted others to see how Wang Mo would be proven wrong by Penguin Waimai's performance.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

In Xiao Ma's opinion.

This unique online cafeteria system, which other takeaway software did not have, would definitely achieve great success.

There was no possibility of failure at all.

That's why he was a bit impatient and directly bought a hot search in advance, preparing to prove Wang Mo wrong.

Below this hot search (Wang was good).

Indeed, it caused quite a discussion again.

"This time, I wonder if Wang Mo will be right or if Penguin Waimai will be right."

"Penguin Big Cafeteria is indeed a good feature. I think this time, President Wang will indeed have to take responsibility for his words."

"Interesting, interesting. I almost forgot about this, but thankfully this hot search reminded me."

"If Penguin Big Cafeteria survives this time, wouldn't that be Wang Mo's first failed prediction in the internet-related field?"

"Once Penguin Big Cafeteria successfully survives, I hope this Wang Mo doesn't shamelessly copy it, otherwise, it would be a complete and utter slap in the face."

Just as the discussion outside became more and more intense.

Zheng Haidi's face in the Penguin Waimai department became increasingly grim.

Because he found that.

As time passed.

The growth rate of Penguin Waimai's user orders was still incredibly slow!
