This was going to be a tough battle, and the fans on both sides were already ready to go. Father Chen had actually already contributed a lot of monthly votes last night, and had even canvassed votes for Wet Nurse in all the major forums to promote the book. However, Father Chen very quickly realized that while it was easy to think about it, it was much more difficult to execute.
In less than half an hour, all his posts had been completely blocked, and anything that mentioned voting had been wiped out. Father Chen was well aware that this was most likely the work of Zhu Ge's forces. Because of the book's resources, the veteran gurus had strong relationships with the bosses of many literary forums.
Back then, Zhu Ge had been in a position of power, and a phone call to offer some benefits to help suppress Wet Nurse would help Father Chen reduce his investment in the monthly votes battle.
"Super Chen!" Father Chen looked at Super Chen and said very solemnly, "You mustn't tell your mom about this!"
Super Chen: "…"
Wang Ling: "…"
Sure enough, every man's pain was the same.
Actually, spending money wasn't the main thing; the main thing was hiding his secret stash … Two hundred thousand yuan of his secret stash was all invested in supporting his idol. What kind of electricity was this? It was simply comparable to Pikachu's hundred thousand volts.
If he was caught hiding his secret stash, he would really be struck by lightning.
When his wife got angry, the pressure would be no less than the Heavenly Dao tribulation.
Wang Ling possessed Wang Xiaoling's body. Although he had changed Super Chen's memories, Wang Xiaoling still had her own consciousness. She was a quiet and well-behaved girl, but because of her family environment, she was a little introverted, which wasn't something that could be changed in a short period of time.
But Wang Ling could clearly sense the change in Wang Xiaoling's mood. After she came to the dojo, her relationship with Super Chen had become a lot closer.
According to the settings, Wang Ling felt that Wang Xiaoling was most likely the female lead in Super Chen's life …
There was no training today, so Father Chen ordered curry egg rice takeaway for Wang Xiaoling and Super Chen, and the two kids ate quietly on one side.
On Father Chen's side, the battle work had officially begun.
"Tally up the number of people online at the moment."
Father Chen took a deep breath, sorted out his emotions, and started to direct the fans on "Wet Nurse's" side. It was said that one's morale was boosted by the first drum, weakened by the second, and exhausted by the third. The momentum at the beginning was very important.
Father Chen knew that it would be a tough battle to bring down Guru Zhu Ge. In the end, Father Wang had a limited number of fans, and he didn't have a professional marketing team to help him promote his products; he was far inferior to Zhu Ge in all aspects.
However, humans must have some dreams!
What if he succeeded?
"I've already done a headcount last night. The total number of people in our five groups is currently more than 8,000. There will be more people at night. Right now, there are only about 4,000 people online this early in the morning. The peak last night was more than 7,000." A bald guy with a sports scarf on his head reported the situation.
It was only later that Wang Ling learned that this person was also an old white reader of the website called Lin Gang. He had been reading for more than twenty years, and was one of the first fans to support Father Wang's "Wang Situ" pen name.
Among the five group leaders, Lin Gang's group had the largest number of members, and it was almost full. The maximum number of members in the group was around 1,990. Most of them were active fans.
"Alright, let's get started then. How many accounts do you have? "
"I did a headcount in the group yesterday, and we currently have more than 400 accounts …"
"Only 400 …" Father Chen frowned. Compared with the total number of people, this number was really a little low.
But Father Chen could actually understand … when all was said and done, reading accounts were private things, and these people who were willing to donate their accounts were already very good at cooking.
"I've already set up the login software for the accounts; we just need to import them in batches. Also, IPs can be changed automatically. However, there's a limit on how many monthly votes each account can spend on a book each month, and you can subscribe to a maximum of five monthly votes. The only thing left is to give out red packets for monthly votes, "said Lin Gang.
"Not good … Wang Situ is about to fall out of the top ten!" Saying this, the other group leaders opened the ranking list and cried out in alarm.
He was clearly in the top five last night!
Father Chen also opened the ranking list and took a look.
The current situation was indeed not optimistic; the gap in the votes was even wider than last night. Zhu Ge's Shameless was currently in first place with more than thirty-six thousand votes.
Let Go of That Wet Nurse, written by Father Wang under the pen name Wang Situ, was currently in tenth place with nineteen thousand votes.
Ninth place had more than twenty thousand votes.
And eleventh place's votes were very close to Father Wang's.
Father Chen knew that this wasn't going to be easy to deal with, but the arrow had to be fired.
"There's no other way. We can only give it a try. Even if we can't win first place, we have to stabilize Wang Situ's position in the top three. " Blue veins popped on Father Chen's forehead, and he was actually a little angry in his heart. He was also an old reader of the website, and the gap in the votes on the ranking list was so obvious all of a sudden. Father Chen knew very well whether or not someone had tampered with the numbers.
Although they didn't have many accounts, they were all borrowed from fans, and they were official accounts. However, in the end, there were still very few fans who were willing to lend out their accounts …
As Lin Gang said, each account had a voting limit.
In terms of sales alone, Wet Nurse was number one online. In contrast, Zhu Ge's Shameless had almost fallen out of the top ten in the sales chart, but its monthly votes were still higher than Father Wang's.
As for the reason behind it, the old readers knew it very well.
The other party must have found an online marketing store …
The number of accounts in the marketing store was huge, and much more than what they had borrowed. Moreover, some of the accounts were stolen, and they would go offline after casting their monthly votes or subscriptions. Sometimes, when readers logged into their own accounts, they would find that their book coins, monthly votes, or recommendation votes had mysteriously disappeared. This was one of the reasons.
…
So, after collecting the fan accounts and funds, the first thing Father Chen did was to give ten thousand yuan in flashing red tips.
This was to attract the attention of the entire website.
In addition to a web-wide announcement, there was also a reward from a treasure chest, which was similar to a red envelope. Readers could snatch red envelopes from treasure chests and split up the huge amount of book coins.
This was also the time when the number of people was the highest.
On Father Wang's behalf, Father Chen posted the vote request announcement which he had prepared beforehand in the book review and comments section. Although Zhu Ge had used some marketing methods to release a lot of negative news about Father Wang's Wet Nurse these days, Father Chen didn't mention any of these rumors and slanders.
His announcement was very sincere, and wasn't trying to act pitiful or clever; it was just the most basic way of asking for monthly votes.
Father Chen and the others had already discussed this matter with Father Wang online early in the morning.
One thousand monthly votes plus one chapter.
This was Father Chen's current offer.
Of two hundred thousand yuan, Father Chen first spent ten thousand yuan to attract the attention of the entire website.
And now …
The real battle for monthly votes had finally begun.
