边看晚会边剁手!双十一交易12分钟破百亿

又到了一年一度的双十一!当然，虽然名为“光棍节”，但是想必很多小伙伴们是不会顾及单身汪的死活的。毕竟，双十一最明确的主题只有一个：买买买!

据阿里巴巴统计，在双十一活动开始12分28秒后，天猫的交易额就达到了100亿元人民币，而去年双十一时，冲破百亿门槛用了38分28秒。

在双十一活动开始前，天猫方面还筹备了盛大的晚会，各路明星云集，影响力直逼春晚。节目期间，观众可以通过手机微信摇一摇获得商品优惠券或折扣。

天猫的老对头京东同样筹备了一场大型晚会，希望在双十一正式开启前就吸引用户的注意力。电商为了双十一煞费苦心，观众们纷纷感叹，天猫用一台晚会做广告也真下血本，这是叫我们边看节目边剁手啊!
