The whole world is watching. Not for too long, this is going to be a real international event.

Especially for Japan's rising singles.

I stopped celebrating 11.11 this year.

Good to see the Water Cube making money off Alibaba.

I had just emptied my shopping cart around 1500 yuan but my wife tripled my budget, sigh.

I guess whole E commerce revenue of this day in China will surpass 80 billion yuan.

Every platform show their discounts even a telecommunication online shop.

Have a good single day!

Alibaba(TMall and Taobao) alone will surpass 80 billion yuan I think.

The wife always wins in the end.

This is the number from Tmall only? What about other eCommerce Portals like JD? Just curious what is the total sales for the entire China eCommerce.

I also saw some guys playing with the drone, and that's why I eventually persuaded my wife for a "buy" permission!

Yes, I'll post pictures or even videos here after I get my drone, cannot wait!

50 billion? Almost surpassing last year!
More astonishing thing is how their platform can handle so many transactions in the same time!

Tmall alone, not including Alibaba's C2C business Taobao.com.
Single's Day is a trademark only allowed to be used in Tmall.
Other eCommerce portals can only use 11-11.
We will wait until tomorrow for the final number of the entire eCommerce industry of China on 11.11.

Most car drivers will buy car accessories instead of cars bro.
