64: Section 64

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Taobao Manager and Old Ma realized something was wrong.

Under normal circumstances, this employee shouldn't be so agitated.

Old Ma also frowned.

"Pinduoduo's transaction volume exceeded ten billion yesterday?"

In Old Ma's view, only this situation could make the employee so excited.

The Taobao Manager beside him almost thought the same.

But listening to Old Ma's words, the employee shook his head directly.

"Since Pinduoduo's transaction volume didn't exceed ten billion, why are you so agitated?" the Taobao Manager instinctively asked.

And the next second, a single sentence from the employee instantly made everyone in the hall incredibly shocked.

"Pinduoduo's transaction volume for yesterday's shopping festival..."

"Reached one hundred and sixty billion!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire venue instantly became silent.

All the employees in the hall and Old Ma, who had just looked relaxed, instantly had their expressions freeze on their faces.

For a moment, the entire hall became incredibly quiet.

"You, what did you say?"

Swallowing, the Taobao Manager quickly asked.

The employee also took a deep breath and repeated, "Just now, at ten o'clock, Pinduoduo announced its transaction volume for yesterday's shopping festival."

"And that number reached one hundred and sixty billion!"

Seeing the same words come out of the employee's mouth again, the Taobao Manager immediately felt countless cold sweats break out on his back.

When he saw the employee's panic earlier, he had estimated that Pinduoduo's transaction volume yesterday might have exceeded ten billion, but that was still within his acceptable range.

But he never expected that this number would directly reach one hundred and sixty billion!

One must know that Taobao's current highest historical transaction volume was only eighty billion.

But Pinduoduo's transaction volume for a single shopping festival had already exceeded twice their Taobao's highest historical transaction volume!

He found such an exaggerated figure simply unbelievable.

"How, how is this possible?"

The Taobao Manager swallowed and looked at Old Ma beside him.

At this moment, Old Ma's expression was also extremely grim and pale.

He found this fact even harder to accept than the Taobao Manager.

One must know that Taobao was built by him, and for over ten years, Taobao had always occupied the top spot in online shopping in Yan Country.

The highest transaction volume of eighty billion was also the highest single-day record for all online shopping platforms globally.

But he never expected that Pinduoduo, which hadn't been launched long, would directly create a terrifying achievement twice that record.

At this moment, both their expressions were even worse than that of the speaking employee.

Now they understood why this person was so panicked.

The expressions of the others in the hall were similarly grim.

No one had anticipated that the Double Eleven Shopping Festival, which no one had paid attention to the day before, could create such an exaggerated and terrifying transaction volume.

No one could accept such an extreme contrast.

"You, can you be sure?"

After swallowing, Old Ma finally spoke.

However, his voice had become somewhat hoarse due to his dry throat.

Listening to Old Ma's words, the employee nodded.

"Pinduoduo has publicized this achievement on almost all social platforms."

"Now, the term 'shopping festival hundred billion transaction volume' has also made it to the top of the weibo hot search."

"Several major brands that participated in Pinduoduo's shopping festival have also announced that their sales yesterday broke historical records several times over."

Upon hearing this, Old Ma's expression became even grimmer.

He knew very well that the transaction volume released by Pinduoduo at this point in time could not possibly be faked.

After all, as long as they contacted the merchants who participated in the shopping festival, they could basically deduce whether this number was real from their sales.

In other words, yesterday's Double Eleven Shopping Festival, Pinduoduo indeed created a terrifying transaction volume of one hundred and sixty billion!

Thinking of this, Old Ma couldn't help but swallow.

"Does this so-called online shopping festival really have such great appeal?"

"Before, Yan Country barely had offline shopping festivals, let alone online ones."

"Why can Pinduoduo's festival, specifically created for the shopping festival, really stimulate users' desire to shop?"

Old Ma raised several doubts about himself.

This was the first time he had made such a huge misjudgment about a certain type of business activity.

Not to mention that this business activity was launched based on another online shopping platform.

The day before, probably no one could have imagined that this shopping festival could attract so many users to shop.

After speaking, Old Ma slowly looked at the Taobao Manager beside him.

The Taobao Manager, whose face was equally grim, quickly understood Old Ma's meaning, nodded, and said, "I will arrange an emergency meeting right away."

With that, the Taobao Manager turned to leave the hall and began contacting other Taobao executives.

After all, this matter was indeed of great importance, and with the shopping festival's potential being so exaggerated, they certainly couldn't sit still.

Who would have thought that this shopping festival could create a transaction volume in the hundreds of billions?

Before leaving, the Taobao Manager glanced at the employee who had just spoken.

He did hope that this employee could report something significant, so he wouldn't lose face in front of Old Ma, but he didn't expect it to be this significant.

Meanwhile, the expressions of other Taobao executives, who had learned of Pinduoduo's Double Eleven transaction volume, were equally priceless.

At the same time, while Taobao's internal team was incredibly shocked by Pinduoduo's Double Eleven transaction volume, countless external users were also stunned by this data.

In a short time, the Weibo post from Pinduoduo's official Weibo account directly rushed to the top of the weibo hot search!

Many Weibo users were also extremely shocked after seeing this data.
