I Can Meet with Dead Scientists-Chapter 324: Zhang 192 First Day Sales and a Sudden Accident (6.4K)_2

The remaining expenses go to Bilibili, Zhihu, and so on.

For instance, at this moment, some friends browsing Bilibili might notice that there is a new product link at the bottom of the video page, which redirects to JD.com when clicked.

These are all common promotional methods and necessary expenses for new product launches.

Even for a product like "Ghost Valley Eight Desolates" which claimed to have numerous organic fans, it actually incurred a lot of operational costs in the early stages.

Seeing this.

Xu Yun couldn't help but take out his phone and open Weibo.

At this time, the trending topic "Exterminate One Cockroach" was prominently displayed in the specially reserved advertising slot on the trending page, with one non-advertising topic appearing in the 30s.

Additionally, a promotional Weibo from Ke Da's official account could be seen in Xu Yun's feed:

[Highly anticipated, Ke Da's self-developed cockroach extermination tool "Exterminate One Cockroach" will launch tonight at midnight. As the cockroaches in your home become increasingly rampant, it's time to wipe them out! Click the link below to receive a Ke Da-exclusive three-yuan discount coupon!]

This Weibo post had garnered as many as 8,000 comments, whereas Ke Da's official Weibo typically only received a dozen, sometimes even single-digit, comments.

Xu Yun casually clicked into several account profiles and could clearly see they were not bot accounts; the Weibo data flow seemed to have taken effect.

Then he suddenly remembered something and said to Gu Qunqing:

"By the way, Aaron, how's the network security situation?"

Gu Qunqing pointed downstairs, where the company's network security center's server room was, and smiled:

"Dr. Xu, Brother Rong is personally in charge, and Director Wang from Ke Da is responsible on their end, so rest assured."

He then looked around and lowered his voice:

"On Taobao's side, Brother Rong specially invited Brother Dao to handle it, so there shouldn't be any issues. In all of Huaxia, besides those high-ranking officials within the system, there are probably no more than ten people in society who can gain Brother Dao's favor..."

Xu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, Xiaorong's task was straightforward: to oversee company homepage security and the security of all redirect links — primarily the latter.

After all, Huadun Biotech's company homepage was created less than a week ago and mainly serves as a portal for decoration.

Apart from product introductions, there are no secondary pages or visitors; to put it bluntly, even if it were hacked, chances are no one would notice...

As for the redirect links, they refer to the jump links on various websites, commonly known as portals.

Xiaorong just needs to ensure that there are no issues with these links; the product pages will be handled by the security departments of the two major platforms.

On Taobao's side, having Wu Hanqing in charge gives it an equivalent level of security to Double 11...

In summary.

Things have reached this stage, which is all about doing one's best and leaving the rest to fate.

All they could do was just one word...

Wait.

Meanwhile.

Besides Xu Yun and others at the company headquarters, many others were also eagerly awaiting midnight's arrival.

For instance, those like Zhou Peiyao, Chang Licheng, and Qiu Sheng, who had a good relationship with Xu Yun.

They counted as Xu Yun's close friends, planning to support Xu Yun's product sales as best as they could.

There was also Yuan Yin, who had once spread the first accident video.

She had no connection with Xu Yun, only wanting to be the first to grab the cockroach medicine, belonging to the standard definition of a consumer.

Also, people like Zhang Guangfei, the product spokesperson, and various media reporters who participated in the cockroach extermination live stream.

For instance, Cockroach Lady Chen Shanshan, who once entered the cockroach center for a live stream...

Along with others from Neon, Europe and America, and Australia.

These people stood in their respective small black rooms, faces solemn, and intentions nefarious.

And so.

Time ticked away second by second.

23:15.....

23:28.....

23:47.....

23:56.....

Finally.

Under the gaze of all these diverse figures, the time slowly reached the early hours of December 4.

Taobao's time calibration device is the cesium atomic clock, which, along with the rubidium hydrogen atomic clock, is among the world's most precise time calibration clocks.

It runs for an average of 20 million years before it would have a second's error.

Therefore, at the instant time reached zero on the 4th.

The platform's program immediately activated, changing the product status to available for purchase.

One second later.

On the big screen in the meeting room.

A number flashed onto the screen:

3/7.

The number on the left represents the number of customers who placed an order.

The number on the right is the number of adhesive packs sold.

The refresh rate is ten seconds.

In other words.

The moment the product was just launched, three customers bought seven packs of adhesive.

They might have used a program for a flash purchase or were three long-term bachelors quickly pressing payment without a password.

In total, coins +139.3.

Ten seconds later.

The number jumped once more:

17/28.

Then it was the twentieth second since launch...

The thirtieth second...

By the time one minute had passed, the numbers had become:

147/195.

Xu Yun and others then waited another ten minutes.

The numbers became...

1723/2189.

Seeing this number, everyone present felt their hearts finally at ease.

A moment later.

The meeting room filled with applause and cheers.

Zheng Zu even walked up to Xu Yun and Tian Liangwei, extending his hand:

"Dean Tian, Dr. Xu, congratulations!"

Xu Yun smiled and gave him a high five, saying:

"Secretary Zheng, New Creation Fund is also a company shareholder, so it's a collective celebration."

Zheng Zu nodded excitedly, just short of popping champagne.

Earlier, when Gu Qunqing was creating the first-day sales model, he had estimated the qualified sales during the time frame.

He had judged that the possible order count for the product launch in the given month could be 600,000.
