Lazada says that the 11.11 Singles' Day event was a success and they saw record sales, but just how big a sale was it for them? 

 We ask Christophe this and he revealed that their 1 single day of sales surpassed their 1 year of sales in 2014. 

 We also question Lazada's pathway to profitability. 

 While Singles' Day did help boost up Lazada to record sales, the event also brought about a major flaw in its ecosystem and that is the payments system -- which crashed during the sale. 

 We discuss this and the other challenges the company is facing in the fast moving e-commerce game.
