July 19th, Thursday.
At 8: 55 AM, Qiao Liang was woken up by his cell phone's alarm.
He had two cell phones. One was Otto's G1 cell phone, and the other was Pineapple cell phone.
This time, the alarm was specially set with a Pineapple cell phone. The sound of the alarm clock on the PINEAPPLE cell phone was like a soul-sucking curse. Once it rang, the heart of a person in a deep sleep would stop within minutes.
Therefore, the effect of waking them up was outstanding.
Every time he heard this ringtone, Qiao Liang would feel as if he had turned over and sat up from his bed. Moreover, he still had lingering fears.
As a freelancer, he didn't need an alarm clock.
But this time, the situation was special, because the alarm clock had three big words written on it: Snatch glasses!
Qiao Liang immediately turned off the alarm clock and opened Doubt at the speed of light …
The panic buying interface for the VR glasses.
Previously, he had already tried to snatch it twice, but he didn't manage to get it.
Although Qiao Liang thought that his hand speed was fast enough, the truth proved that as long as the manufacturer released a small number of products, it was useless no matter how fast his hand speed was. That was because there would always be someone faster than him!
The glasses were released in seconds. Qiao Liang highly suspected that there would be more than two thousand of them released.
That shouldn't be the case.
He had met the product manager, Old Song, who was in charge of developing glasses, when he was helping to test the game at Slow Movement Workspace. Given Shenhua Corporation and Tengda Corporation's financial resources, they should have plenty of VR glasses this time. There was no reason for them to only have so little.
However, Qiao Liang had no choice but to continue snatching.
He could greet Lin Wan and think of a way to get one for free, but in the end, he didn't do so.
That was because he was worried that it would disrupt Boss Pei's plans.
It was known that Boss Pei was in charge of the publicity plan for the VR glasses this time.
He also knew that at least dozens of VR glasses had been sent out to various UP Masters and live-streamers. There were many small live-streamers with thousands of fans, but Qiao Liang was not given to him.
Could Boss Pei have forgotten?
Qiao Liang felt that it was impossible.
For various reasons, Boss Pei did not give them to her on purpose!
Therefore, if Qiao Liang took the initiative to look for Lin Wan and tried to get a pair of VR glasses for free, it would not be in line with Boss Pei's thoughts. It might disrupt the entire publicity plan.
Thus, Qiao Liang decided to buy it with his own strength!
Although he had failed to snatch it twice in a row, as the saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way.
He firmly believed that with his hand speed, he would be able to buy it sooner or later!
He silently counted down in his heart. When there was less than a second left, he pressed the button madly. After the payment interface popped up, he paid at the speed of light!
After seeing that the payment was successful, Qiao Liang jumped up from his bed excitedly.
Success!
Qiao Liang had successfully reached the payment interface the previous two times. However, it was only when he was about to pay that he failed and the goods were sold out.
This meant that he was only one step away from success at that time. It was possible that he was only a fraction of a second away from the last lucky person.
This time, Qiao Liang's hand speed exploded and he finally succeeded!
Qiao Liang watched as the order was completed. The products would probably be delivered to his house by Upwind Logistics in a few hours. He was satisfied.
He returned to the product details interface, wanting to take a look at the delightful "sold out" button.
Human psychology was just that strange. When one didn't manage to buy it, they hoped that there would be stock so that they could pick it up. But when they bought it, they hoped that it would be sold out immediately so that no one else could buy it.
It was like queuing up to buy a limited edition item. You happened to buy the last item. At that moment, you would see the long queue behind you sigh and disperse. You would feel an inexplicable sense of comfort.
At that moment, Qiao Liang returned to the product details page with such a mentality.
However, the gray 'sold out' word did not appear. The page showed that there was still stock.
That made Qiao Liang a little disappointed.
"Why is there still stock?
"Oh, perhaps this batch of goods was released a little more. Or perhaps those with faster hands have already snatched it, and this time, those who came to snatch it were slower. "
"No matter what, it will probably be sold out in a few dozen seconds."
Qiao Liang got up to brush his teeth and wash his face. He took a piece of bread from the fridge and turned on his cell phone again. The page still showed that there was stock.
"This …"
Qiao Liang was speechless.
What a scam!
If he had known that there would be so much stock this time, he would not have set the alarm and woken up so early!
"I want to see when it will be sold out!"
Qiao Liang was not convinced and continued staring at his cell phone.
Five minutes later, he got tired of staring. He put his cell phone aside and began to play the game that he had not completed before. He looked at it every few minutes.
There was stock.
There was stock.
There was still stock!
He watched as his order status changed from 'out of storage' to 'transit', and then from 'transit' to 'delivery'. It was almost lunchtime, but the word 'sold out' still did not appear on this page!
Qiao Liang was completely speechless.
"What a scam!
"I thought it wasn't easy for me to get my hands on one, but there are so many of them this time? Everyone has a share! "
Then, he checked the fan club and the internet. Sure enough, he had managed to snag Doubt.
Indeed, there were too many people with VR glasses.
Not only that, but many veteran players who had already grabbed it before expressed that there was a new promotional page on Doubt's homepage.
On the homepage of VR, there was a new promotional page. There was a new game called Animal Island!
Qiao Liang suddenly understood when he saw this.
"I understand now!"
"It looks like we've entered the final stage of the publicity work!"
Qiao Liang already had his suspicions when he heard that Boss Pei was the one in charge of this unreasonable publicity plan.
After so many days of hard thinking, Qiao Liang already had a rough guess based on the previous publicity method of Game Designer.
However, this guess was not particularly perfect.
Qiao Liang wanted to find a suitable time to make another video to talk about this matter after he got his hands on the VR glasses.
However, he had not managed to snatch it, so this matter was delayed.
Now, the time was finally here.
Qiao Liang immediately began to prepare the video.
He would first write the script and record a portion of the content. When the VR glasses arrived, he would add the rest of the content and try to publish it as soon as possible!
Of course, it was too late to introduce the game 'Animal Island' in detail in such a rushed video.
Qiao Liang had already tried playing the game in advance and understood it very well. However, it would still take a long time to record the material and analyze it in an orderly manner.
Thus, Qiao Liang planned to split it into two videos.
The first short video would talk about Doubt first.
He would talk about the publicity plan used by the glasses and the true relationship between Slow Movement Workspace and Tengda Corporation.
The second video would talk about the outstanding VR game, Animal Island, in detail.
One before and one after, he would definitely let the truth be revealed to the world!
…
At night.
In his rented apartment, Meng Chang was still troubled by the last step of the 'Pei Corporation's publicity method'.
He would probably not be able to sleep in peace if he did not understand this point.
Meng Chang had a vague feeling that once he completely understood the 'Pei Corporation's publicity method', he would definitely be able to get a lot of commission in the future. What awaited him would be an infinitely bright future!
However, he was stuck at this last step. It was very uncomfortable.
Why did Boss Pei want him to do the reverse publicity and teach him personally?
What did Boss Pei want to achieve?
What good did this do for him?
Meng Chang could not figure it out no matter what.
He flipped through the latest comments online.
During the day, Doubt had been released.
The purchase restrictions of the VR glasses had been completely lifted. Animal Island VR had also been officially released. The evaluation of this pair of glasses was recovering.
Meng Chang was not surprised by this.
After all, Boss Pei had promised to maintain it for two weeks and obtain a minimum commission.
Now that he had obtained the minimum commission, there was no need for Boss Pei to suppress the sales of the VR glasses. He could sell them openly.
Previously, the VR glasses did not have a good evaluation mainly because they sold very little. People who wanted to buy them had grievances, so public opinion was easy to control.
Now that they were being sold openly, most people who wanted to buy them had obtained the real thing. Naturally, they realized that the glasses were really good, and their reputation would slowly recover.
This also meant that he could forget about getting a high commission.
However, Meng Chang did not mind. That was because Boss Pei had already fully displayed the 'Pei Corporation's publicity method'. As long as Meng Chang learned it and worked hard to extend the time.
Wouldn't he get a full commission if he extended it from two weeks to a month?
Boss Pei had already done his best. Meng Chang felt that there was nothing for him to be greedy about.
The most important thing now was to solve the last mystery and make his' Pei Corporation's publicity method 'more successful.
At that time, he would be able to get as much commission as he wanted. He would be able to get as many months as he wanted.
Wouldn't that be perfect?
Meng Chang had a vague feeling when he saw the gamers' sporadic comments, but it was still not clear enough.
After all, the sales of the glasses had just been released, and Animal Island had just been released. Most people were still experiencing it. The feedback of the gamers could not be reflected online so quickly.
At that moment, Meng Chang's eyes lit up.
Teacher Qiao had updated the video!
The title of the video was: 'After 28 Months, Another Performance Art-style Publicity'!
Meng Chang clicked on it without hesitation.
It was indeed a video related to VR glasses!
As an old acquaintance of Tengda Corporation, Teacher Qiao could always make a unique interpretation from a special perspective.
Previously, Meng Chang had been keeping a close eye on Teacher Qiao, afraid that he would ruin his plans.
However, his mood was completely different now.
Teacher Qiao's unique perspective might be able to enlighten him and answer the questions that he had been puzzled about?
…
"Hello everyone, I'm still your Teacher Qiao."
"This video is not long. I believe everyone has roughly guessed what I want to say after seeing the title."
"To get straight to the point, the VR glasses are not well received.
The VR glasses don't have good reviews, but this is actually the same kind of publicity method as Game Designer two years ago. It's a performance art publicity! "
"Many people might not agree. After all, many people have yet to get Doubt VR glasses.
Previously, they were affected by public opinion online. They felt that this was a product that was sensational and hyped up. In fact, there was no real substance to it. "
"Then … please allow me to remind everyone: Did you notice the name of this pair of glasses?"
"Doubt is also doubt, doubt, uncertainty, and disbelief."
"Isn't everyone in this state now?"
Meng Chang could not help but be stunned after hearing this opening statement.
Performance art-style publicity?
Obviously, in Teacher Qiao's eyes, Boss Pei was not doing reverse publicity at all, but positive publicity.
However, Boss Pei had used a special method. Before there was a reversal, most people would not understand and accept it. That was why the publicity plan did not seem to be effective.
Now, Teacher Qiao was obviously going to peel off the cocoon and explain this specific publicity method to everyone!
Meng Chang's first reaction was that it was ridiculous.
That was impossible, right?
Wasn't Boss Pei's first goal to reverse publicity and keep me with commission?
What's more, how could this publicity plan have anything to do with performance art?
Puzzled, Meng Chang continued reading.
