China News Service, November 2 According to the US "World Journal" report, China's "Double 11" shopping festival has also attracted the attention of overseas Chinese.
In the United States, because of the advantage of time difference, many South American Chinese started to buy and buy in the early morning. Half-price video annual fees, half-price down jackets, snacks, toys and books were all added to the shopping cart.
However, some people ridiculed the complexity of the Double Eleven discount algorithm and turned them into mathematicians in order to save money. Others believed that the so-called discount prices that day were more expensive than usual and were not really cost-effective.
Chinese Ms. Wang said that Chinese flower pots and flower stands are cheap and beautiful, so she added the products she wanted to the shopping cart early and waited until the checkout.
In addition, she also bought a half-price thin down jacket and children's toys for more than 1,000 yuan.
Her items will be sent to the transshipment center, and then shipped to the United States in a group. The shipping cost is only RMB 16 per kilogram, which is cheaper than buying in the United States.
Some people take advantage of the Double Eleven to fill the membership of Chinese video sites.
Chinese Mr. Zhang said that at this time of the year, membership recharges are half price, and parents still like to watch Chinese programs in the United States.
Nowadays, there are many programs on Chinese video websites, and the quality of self-made web dramas is good. Less than 100 yuan a year is quite cost-effective.
Chinese Miss Li also added the things she wanted to buy into the shopping cart before Double Eleven, waiting for the discount to settle on the day.
She said that she bought sea cucumbers, nuts, milk, thermal underwear, etc. for Chinese parents and in-laws. She originally planned to buy children's clothing for her children. But she found that before Double Eleven, if you spend 600 minus 200, if you spend 300 minus 40 on Double Eleven.
The second wave of discounts was not as strong as the first wave.
Student Sun, an international student, said that her mother asked her to wait for a few photos at midnight. She added the shopping cart in advance and received the coupon.
After zero o’clock, it was found that the previous coupons were all invalid, and the price was more expensive than before zero o’clock.
Some people feel that the Double Eleven discount algorithm is too complicated.
The Chinese Tina Jiang said that in order to save a hundred or ten yuan, he had to be like a mathematician. There were too many twists and turns, and I felt that my brain couldn't keep up.
However, many young people seem to enjoy themselves, sharing how to buy various cost-effective combinations.
There are also people waiting for Double Twelve. Chinese Ms. Xue said that it is more cost-effective to buy clothes and shoes on Double Twelve because the inventory will be cleared at the end of the year.
