How to Buy a Xiaomi in Two Short Months
One way to buy a Xiaomi is to buy it through the flash sales. The sales that run out in seconds online. Another way to buy it is to wait a month and get it guaranteed.
A person on WSJ tried it the first way. He thought he was good with a mouse and clicking. However, he failed quite a bit. He was trying, trying, trying, but he kept not getting a phone. This was because there were always people faster than him. It was funny, actually, reading the article, because he kept a log of every flash sale that he participated in. He waited 8 weeks to get his phone.
Primed and registered, he set off with his mouse promptly at noon as if a starter’s pistol had gone off next to his ear. Two pages of options popped up on his browser. After clicking, Xiaomi’s mascot – a white rabbit named Mitu wearing a green Chinese army hat – popped up on his screen. It appeared to be running in place. The text explained that too many people were trying to buy phones too. “I’m lined up and currently moving forward with everything I’ve got,” it said. It ran with everything it had for the next 20 minutes.
A colleague of his, Yang Jie, walked by and sighed. “You didn’t get it,
Carlos,” she said. Sure enough, the image soon changed to a Mitu gushing
tears. “Sorry, we’re already sold out,” it said.
I think I would settle for the one month option.
