575. The right time, place and people (Chapter 13)(1/2)
"Then what happened with this red envelope? I could get 1 billion with just shake? Isn't this a joke? Where is there a pie falling from the sky?" Xu Ping didn't believe it at all.
How could capitalists have such kindness? They actually gave you 1 billion yuan.
"Mom, it's not that you get 1 billion, but that we share the 1 billion with all the audiences who shake in front of the TV. The number of red envelopes in each lottery session is limited, first shake first serve, and then shake no."
"Oh. So that's it."
After Li Wei's explanation, Xu Ping finally figured it out.
"I said, how could the capitalist be so kind? He wanted you to grab it after a long time?"
"Stop talking, stop talking, start!"
Li Jun next to him immediately became excited.
At this moment, the TV Limani remembered the host's deliberation plan.
Zhu Jun shouted, "Dear viewers in front of the TV, and all the guests on the scene, everyone! Happy Spring Festival!"
The four hosts on the stage wish you all a happy new year together.
Then Dong Qing next to him also said, "Today it is the annual Spring Festival Gala time..."
...
After a while, the host said on TV, "This year we have a great news to share with the audience in front of the TV.
That is Bomi Technology Co., Ltd., which will give everyone a red envelope of 1 billion yuan during the program for a while.
Everyone just needs to pick up their mobile phones and participate in the gun red envelope activity of the Spring Festival Gala. When the red envelope grab appears in the lower right corner of the big screen below, pick up the mobile phone and shake it to participate in the red envelope sharing of 1 billion yuan."
"Yes, you just need to pick up your phone and shake it. WeChat red envelope, hey, Dong Qing, have you discovered something?" Zhou Tao turned his head and asked Dong Qing with a smile.
"Hey, you said."
"We did not have traditional customs before that, for elders, they would give their younger generations pocket money, New Year's money, etc., and then send red envelopes to them during the Spring Festival to be auspicious. If you go to greet New Year's greetings, then the elders would give you a red envelope."
"Well, yes, this is the traditional etiquette of the Chinese nation." Dong Qing said.
"But recently, I found that many young friends around me were sending red envelopes to the elderly at home."
...
Hearing what the host said, Li Wei hugged her mother's hand and said, "Look, it's popular now that young people are sending red envelopes to the elderly."
"Huh? Why is this?" Dong Qing asked with a smile.
"That's because our young people are energetic, and they have a flexible mindset and know how to respect their parents. Moreover, our era is also changing with the advancement of technology, and their thinking style is also changing. This is why the WeChat red envelope developed by Bomi Company is a good example."
"Yes, since I got the WeChat red envelope..."
Xu Ping couldn't help but frown when she heard this, "Why do I feel like I'm watching TV and shopping?"
Yes, this ad is a bit too straightforward, right?
"Okay, let's enjoy the sketch [Send Red Envelope]!"
...
After a sketch, the host controls it again. During this session, the event of shaking the red envelope grabbing officially began.
"Now everyone can participate in the shaking and grab red envelope activity. You only need to participate in the lottery, and then pick up your mobile phone and shake it, and you can divide the 1 billion yuan red envelopes sent by Bomi Group!"
...
Li Wei quickly picked up her phone and shook it.
So is Li Jun.
Then Xu Ping next to him looked at the two of them and felt like they were in a state of snoring.
After a while, Li Wei heard a scream, "Oh my God! I'm attracted!"
"What?!" Xu Ping also became excited, "Have you really grabbed the red envelope?"
"Yes, I've got it, mom, you can grab it too!"
"How many have you grabbed?" Li Jun leaned over and looked at his sister's mobile phone screen to confirm how much money she got.
"I grabbed 60 cents," said Li Wei.
"Then I'm a little more than you, I'm 80 cents."
Just as the two of them were comparing each other, my mother's scream came from next to her.
The two of them hurried over and saw that the amount displayed on Xu Ping's mobile phone was-
“100 yuan!”
"Wow! Mom is so lucky. You actually got 100 yuan!"
...
Since learning to grab red envelopes, Xu Ping has been highly focused throughout the Spring Festival Gala, for fear of missing any part of grabbing red envelopes.
One night, she came down until 12:10 in the morning, and she only grabbed the 100 yuan at the beginning.
But for her, this was already satisfied.
After all, this is the first time I have ever grabbed such a large amount of red envelopes in my life. According to Bomi Company's official statement, the largest amount may be about 100 yuan.
Valley
So Li Jun and Li Wei both praised her for her good luck.
When I go to bed at night, even my dreams are sweet.
Xu Ping couldn't help but think that WeChat red envelopes are quite interesting.
I wonder if there will be any red envelope grabbing activities next year?
...
February 14, 2010, was supposed to be a very happy moment for couples, and this night became a sleepless night for many people.
On this night, it is also the Chinese Spring Festival, and many people participated in the red envelope grabbing activity of the Spring Festival Gala.
Moreover, on this night, none of the employees in Bomi's WeChat department could sleep well, and they all stayed at their posts to prevent accidents.
In order to make the entire red envelope grab process go smoothly, Bomi will not open more than 100 servers and 50 servers back-up because of the large transaction volume at the same time, because it is afraid of downtime, overload, and over-issuance of data.
Fortunately, the whole process went smoothly until the end of CCTV and the end of the Spring Festival Gala, there was no problem.
The process of grabbing red envelopes is extremely good, and more than 10 million users registered for WeChat this night.
For Bomi, this was also an extremely significant victory.
...
Soon, a few days after the Spring Festival.
On Weibo and Blog, CCTV Spring Festival Gala's 1 billion WeChat red envelope activity has reached the top of the hot search list.
Because this time the WeChat red envelope was so eye-catching throughout the Spring Festival Gala.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten what kind of programs the Spring Festival Gala performed this year, and they were all going to grab red envelopes.
At the same time, the WeChat red envelope event made the ratings of this Spring Festival Gala hit a new high. Basically, more than 1 billion people in the country were watching TV in front of the TV.
And there are a large number of WeChat users among these people.
In fact, according to Bomi's own backstage statistics, during the Spring Festival Gala, the total number of people participating in red envelope grabbing through WeChat was only 20 million.
What does it mean?
The number of domestic smartphone users has now been developed by Bomi Company, with a population of about 160 million.
Then there are only 20 million people who actually install WeChat and can use WeChat to grab red envelopes.
But this is already an exaggerated number.
20 million people participated in CCTV's WeChat red envelope grabbing activity, and more than 200 million red envelope transfers were generated at the same time, which illustrates another problem-
During the Spring Festival Gala, everyone not only guarded the red envelopes of CCTV's Bomi event, but also played their own gun red envelope games in the group.
Take Li Wei as an example. The company has a group itself. The boss sent at least 600 yuan in the group to employees at night.
Then after that, she and a few good colleagues gathered a small group to compete for luck, and saw who grabbed the largest red envelope, and the person who grabbed the largest amount of red envelopes would send a new red envelope for everyone to grab.
Although it seemed that no one had ever grabbed a few cents in the end, this process was particularly interesting.
Because everyone is looking at who has better luck?
What is verified is the person's luck in the next year.
...
On the blog, the question on the top of the hot search list is as follows:
"Why is WeChat red envelopes so popular this year? How do you view the WeChat red envelope grabbing event on the Spring Festival Gala?"
"WeChat red envelopes have been a highlight of the Internet circle during the Spring Festival.
There is a saying in the media that WeChat red envelopes have caused WeChat payment users to exceed 100 million during the Spring Festival.
