58: Section 58

“Goodness, I got seven hundred ninety just by clicking the Red Envelope, and I can draw another nine yuan by scanning it myself. Taobao, are you really here to give out benefits?”

“The amount of this benefit is not only more than Pinduoduo, but it’s also easier.”

“It’s much, much easier, okay?”

Under the gaze of countless viewers, A Niu placed his hand on the draw button again.

“I’m going to draw again.”

The next second, the turntable began to spin.

Instantly, new winning information popped up.

“Congratulations, you have successfully drawn zero point nine yuan, only zero point one yuan away from withdrawal.”

“Huh.” Looking at this scene, A Niu was directly stunned. How could it be played like this?

The bullet comments were also full of question marks.

“No rush, I can continue to draw.”

A Niu continued to draw.

“Congratulations, you have received zero point zero nine yuan, only zero point zero one yuan away from withdrawal.”

Continue to draw.

“Congratulations, you have received one gem. Ten gems can be synthesized into a withdrawal amount of zero point zero one yuan!”

Looking at this scene, A Niu was completely dumbfounded.

How did gems start appearing after drawing a few times?

“I don’t believe it, again!”

“Congratulations, you have received two gems, and seven more gems can be synthesized into an amount!”

When he finally managed to draw nine gems.

“Congratulations, you have received a withdrawal card. Ten withdrawal cards can be synthesized into one gem!”

...

“Congratulations, you have received the second withdrawal card.”

...

“Congratulations, you have received the ninth withdrawal card.”

“Not enough attempts. Please scan and help me again, hurry, hurry, just one more time.”

“Congratulations, you have received a withdrawal card fragment.”

“Holy crap!!”

...

As time continued to pass.

This eight hundred yuan Red Envelope was still constantly breaking down, and all sorts of strange things were popping up frantically.

And A Niu and the 100,000 viewers in the live broadcast room were also determined, preparing not to sleep today until they succeeded in getting the help.

But what no one expected was that.

This one attempt to get help directly passed three hours!

And after three hours, A Niu ultimately failed.

Chapter 61: Taobao Is Cursed on weibo hot search, a Completely Failed Red Envelope Activity!

At the same time as A Niu’s final withdrawal failure.

Across the country, there were also a large number of users who had failed to withdraw and were extremely annoyed by this Taobao activity.

Every time a Taobao Red Envelope felt like it could be successfully withdrawn the next time.

But this next time.

It seemed as if it could never arrive.

Gems, withdrawal cards, withdrawal card fragments, fragment puzzles.

All sorts of strange things kept appearing.

Always just a little bit short.

Even.

Some users, after going through countless difficulties and finally collecting all the items, genuinely filled up the eight hundred yuan in cash and were about to click to claim it.

The next second, a prompt appeared:

Your cash has been stolen by a mouse. Please don’t be discouraged, try again next time.

As soon as this prompt message popped up, it instantly enraged countless people.

And the phrase “Please don’t be discouraged, try again next time” felt even more like a mockery.

By this time.

Many users understood.

Taobao’s assisted Red Envelope and Pinduoduo’s Cut-a-thon Red Envelope were not the same thing at all.

Pinduoduo’s Red Envelope could at least be successfully claimed, but Taobao’s Red Envelope was purely designed to infuriate people.

At the same time.

Because this assisted Red Envelope, like Pinduoduo’s, required inviting friends to help.

Many invited users, after being infuriated by the Taobao Red Envelope, turned around and cursed the people who invited them.

After all, they were having a happy day, and then a link from you made them explode with anger because of Taobao.

This situation was indeed difficult for many people to accept.

But facing the anger of countless users outside.

Taobao’s internal team seemed to feel that they had done nothing wrong, and had not discovered anything. That night, they were even holding a meeting to celebrate the record-breaking number of concurrent users.

Taobao’s internal team had not yet realized what consequences their activity would bring.

They were even happy that they had not copied Pinduoduo’s activity, but had instead made what they considered an optimization.

In their view.

This optimization could not only reduce costs but also greatly prolong user online time.

By all accounts, this was a perfect assisted Red Envelope activity.

If Pinduoduo had not launched the Cut-a-thon Red Envelope before, Taobao’s activity might not have attracted too much criticism.

But the key was that.

With a shining example already set, Taobao came up with something like this.

Taobao’s internal team greatly underestimated the users’ anger.

And after a night of fermentation.

The next day, Taobao instantly received a large number of complaints and reports.

Taobao’s customer service phone was also flooded with calls from angry users.

On weibo hot search, several trending topics disparaging Taobao’s Red Envelope instantly appeared.

“A Red Envelope that can’t be claimed at all, what is Taobao doing?”

“The high amount is real, and not being able to claim it is also real.”

“Does Taobao’s activity this time constitute deceiving users?”

For a time.

Taobao instantly received a large amount of criticism.

Many people felt that this Taobao Red Envelope simply could not be successfully claimed.

It was only at this point that Taobao’s internal team realized that this activity could make users so angry.

So, Taobao’s official Weibo immediately posted an explanation.

“Although the difficulty of claiming Taobao’s Red Envelope is high, it is not impossible to claim; it just requires a lot of people to help.”

Initially, Taobao thought this statement would temporarily quell user anger.

But a few hours later.

A video of a live stream failing to get help for a Taobao Red Envelope directly surged to the top of weibo hot search, severely slapping Taobao’s Weibo post in the face.

This top weibo hot search only had a few simple words.

“One hundred thousand people helped, but no success!”

And the content of this video was the process of A Niu’s live stream getting help the previous night.
