3 million workers, 4,000 planes and ships will all help the world's largest online shopping event set new records this year.
China's Singles Day is celebrated annually on November 11, the world's largest 24-hour online event.
The event sold 1.9 billion products last year and is likely to set a new record this year due to the corona virus epidemic.
This year, millions of Chinese citizens have been unable to travel abroad due to Corona, and experts say they will make up for the shortfall in online shopping.
"Due to international sanctions, we expect a significant change in online shopping in China, allowing luxury brands to emerge on this occasion," said Michael Norris of China, a Shanghai-based market research firm. '
Remember that Singles Day is an increasingly popular holiday among Chinese youth, celebrating the joy of being single or single.
It is celebrated on November 11, and thanks to Alibaba, it has become the largest online shopping festival in the world.
The festival began at Nanjing University in 1993 and has since been celebrated at various universities in the province in the 1990s.
But in 2009, Alibaba saw the festival as a business opportunity and turned it into an unofficial holiday by selling goods online at low prices.
Alibaba launched an online blog post to keep consumers informed of business details on the occasion of Single Day this year, while the shopping festival kicked off with a virtual concert by renowned singer Katy Perry K in Shanghai.
Last year, the event sold more than 210 billion Chinese yuan worth of goods.
In fact, online shopping figures in China on Singles Day have blurred Black Friday and Cyber Monday figures in Europe and the United States.
It should be noted that Black Friday is celebrated in the month of November in the United States, Europe and other parts of the world in the style of Singles Day.
When Singles Day Deals began last year, Chinese consumers bought $ 1 billion in the first 68 seconds, spending .3 14.3 billion in the first hour.
This year, the event will feature more than 3.5 million products from Chinese and international brands, including cars and homes.
Yes, 800,000 properties and more than 200,000 vehicles will be available to consumers this year.
According to Alibaba's logistics arm, Ken Yao, more than 3,000 chartered flights and cargo ships will be used to deliver goods across China this year.
On the other hand, 3 million people will help deliver goods around the world.
The company will use more than 700 chartered flights to deliver parcels outside of China.
