Meng Chang kept weighing the pros and cons.
"The opportunity is fleeting. If I were to wait until Friday night to post it, it would be very difficult to dismantle and attack the Home Corporation at the most suitable time, considering the time it would take for public opinion to ferment. It might cause a chain reaction and cause Fan Xiaodong to short the Home Corporation's stocks.
"My commission is nothing. Even if the popularity soars in two days and causes my commission to collapse, I would only lose thirty to fifty thousand yuan.
"However, if something happens to the stock, it would be a huge problem. How would I have the face to see Fan Xiaodong?
"I'm not waiting anymore! Post the video! "
Meng Chang quickly made up his mind. He logged into Young Master Tian's account and posted the video. At the same time, he made the follow-up arrangements immediately!
If the popularity exploded two days earlier, it would definitely affect Meng Chang's commission.
It would not be reset to zero, but it would most likely be cut in half, or at least one-third of it would evaporate.
However, Meng Chang had no choice. On one hand, he had to complete a perfect "Pei Corporation's Publicity Method" process to learn knowledge. On the other hand, he had vowed to his best friend, Fan Xiaodong, that it would definitely not be a problem to short the Home Corporation's stocks. He could not screw up at this time.
Although Meng Chang did not know how much Fan Xiaodong had invested, and it might not be fatal to attack two days later, Meng Chang did not want to take the risk.
Everyone knew that villains died from talking too much, and those who were killed were often killed because of greed.
Therefore, Meng Chang was not greedy at all. He did not want to do anything fancy. He would attack first!
He had to give the Home Corporation a head-on blow before they could do the "intimate butler business"!
…
At night, Ding Xiyao returned home from work. After making a simple dinner, she watched videos on Alice Island's website while eating.
During this period of time, she had been a little addicted. She had watched a lot of Real Estate Agent Simulator guide videos.
She had to admit that the players were indeed too talented. They had even come up with many tricks that Ding Xiyao, a former practitioner, had not thought of.
Many players had turned into capitalists, thinking of all sorts of ways to raise the rent and fool tenants. There were even players who were challenging themselves on how to continuously level up with the least amount of transactions and use the money they earned to decorate their residences to be grand and majestic.
On the one hand, you rent an old, run-down, leaky house to tenants, and on the other hand, you have a big, bright, expensive house to live in.
Some players also noticed that there was a pattern to the room types and renters in the game. Some people often had good rooms and good renters, while others weren't so lucky.
There was even a saying on the forums that "initial account luck" had appeared, suggesting players with bad luck to delete their accounts and start over.
Although there was no direct evidence to prove it, an account with bad luck would always have bad luck. Apart from deleting the account, there was no other way.
Some people suspected that it was a game mechanism, while others said that it could be a bug.
However, Ding Xiyao had yet to encounter such a situation.
With a casual swipe, a bunch of videos about Real Estate Agent Simulator appeared on the homepage.
Ding Xiyao had watched too many similar videos, so the website kept pushing them to her.
"Hmm? This video … "
Ding Xiyao saw that the title of the video was: "Using Games to Analyze Social Reality: A Brief Comment on Real Estate Agent Simulator." The title looked rather serious and solemn. It seemed a little out of place among the other live videos.
She clicked on it and saw that it was a new video. It had just been posted. Although the number of views was not particularly high, the popularity, bullet screen comments, and likes were all very high. It looked like a high-quality video.
"Analyzing social reality in depth? Isn't that a little too much? This game only reflects reality at most. How is it analyzing? "
Ding Xiyao was a little confused. In her opinion, Real Estate Agent Simulator was just like the name of the game. It was mainly a simulation of reality and did not seem to have any "analysis" components.
This game did not make people reflect on it either?
Ding Xiyao clicked on the video to watch it curiously.
…
The author of the video was "Young Master Tian". The video was well-edited, and the materials used were mainly the promotional video of Real Estate Agent Simulator and the actual game scenes.
However, the author of the video did not use his own voice. Instead, he used AEEIS artificial intelligence to automatically generate the full text of the audio.
The content of the entire video was very concise. There was no opening speech or greeting to the audience. It went straight to the point.
"Real Estate Agent Simulator, a seemingly ordinary VR game."
"Its gameplay is not complicated. It doesn't look much different from other business simulation games. Its early publicity was a little baffling, as if there was a serious mismatch with the game's content.
"However, this game, from the publicity to the content, is actually a full reproduction of the current situation of the domestic rental industry. Through subtle and simple methods, players can be brought into the identity of an intermediary, understand the deep secrets of the industry that are difficult to come into contact with, and understand the crux of the chaos in many industries.
"Perhaps some people have already felt this, while others have yet to notice it."
"That's normal. After all, an outstanding game must have a strong gameplay and rich fun. This kind of fun may temporarily overshadow players' thinking about the game's content.
"Players who are willing to use their brains to think about it might want to explore the deeper meaning of this game."
Ding Xiyao noticed that this UP Master's tone was different from most UP Masters.
In order to increase the affinity of their videos, other UP Masters would often use colloquial and everyday language to get close to the audience and even intersperse some interesting jokes and emoticons. Then, they would gradually introduce their own arguments and expand.
However, this' Young Master Tian's' video was very straightforward and went straight to the point.
He did not seem to care about the audience's ability to accept it at all. He was not worried about dissuading the audience at the beginning, and he did not care if the audience would think of his video as a cleanup or sponsored partnerships.
The entire video was like a textbook, writing out the objective facts.
It was up to you to believe it or not.
What's more, there was an inexplicable feeling of 'my video is for smart people to watch. Stupid people, please quit'.
Logically speaking, this kind of attitude was not very pleasing. After all, most viewers watched the video for fun. This kind of UP Master seemed to have a sense of superiority in terms of intelligence. Who could watch it?
However, to Ding Xiyao's surprise, the bullet screen comments on the video did not have such a reaction.
Not only did they not scold him, but they also seemed to be looking forward to it!
"Wow! The big boss has finally posted another video! Front row! "
"The UP Master of Monthly Update is alive?"
"I feel like the big boss is usually very busy. Making videos is just a hobby. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so casual."
"It's okay, as long as the quality is good! The big boss's videos are all high-quality. It's worth watching! "
It was only then that Ding Xiyao realized that this account of 'Young Master Tian' already had a video with millions of views. It talked about the Morning Dew Gaming Platform and caused a huge response.
Many people paid attention to him because of that, and most of them were gamers.
Therefore, when the second video came out, everyone realized that it was a video about games and naturally came to support it.
Ding Xiyao still felt that the title was a little far-fetched and suspected that it was a title fanatic. However, since it was a video made by the big boss, it was still worth watching.
"Before talking about the Real Estate Agent Simulator, let's talk about the promotional video.
"When the promotional video was first released, everyone did not know that it was a promotional video for Real Estate Agent Simulator. Many people also raised doubts about the content of the promotional video.
"In the eyes of many people, this promotional video was incompatible with the game itself. It was completely wrong in terms of publicity, but in reality, that was not the case. This promotional video was actually done on purpose to match the content of the game!
"After watching the promotional video, some people felt sympathy for the hard-working agents, while others felt disgust in their hearts.
"This complex psychology of sympathy on the surface and disgust on the deep is a catalyst. With it, we can better substitute the identity of renters and agents in the game Real Estate Agent Simulator and find the crux of this industry!"
Ding Xiyao's expression was a little blank.
Was this promotional video deliberately trying to make people feel touched and disgusted at the same time?
That can't be right. I'm the main lead. Why can't I feel it?
I'm acting very seriously, hoping to gain everyone's sympathy!
Moreover, Director Meng Chang did not mention this. He only asked me to act truthfully.
Ding Xiyao felt that this' Young Master Tian 'had probably over-interpreted it. If he was at the filming site, he definitely would not have said that.
However, Ding Xiyao was also very curious about how he would over-interpret it, so she patiently continued watching.
"I believe many players have already noticed that when they were renters, they always hated the deceptive behavior of agents. However, after playing the role of a real estate agent, for the sake of profits, they naturally began to use all kinds of tricks."
"For example, when renters are looking at houses, they try their best to hide the problems of the house, even at the expense of deceiving the customers, just to facilitate the transaction. When renovating the house, they try their best to save costs, completely ignoring the actual living experience of the tenants after moving in. After all, they are not living by themselves. They divide the tenants into different classes, spending more time and energy to receive those who are more likely to spend more money to rent a house. As for those customers who don't seem to be able to afford a high price, they are perfunctory …"
"Of course, there are also many people who can persevere and operate with a conscience. However, it is undeniable that every player must have experienced this temptation: If removing a single sofa will not affect the rent much, why not store this sofa in the warehouse and use it for the next house?"
"This is the first core of Real Estate Agent Simulator: It allows players to bring into the identity of an agent and do the same things as the agents. It allows both parties to have the same motives and better understand each other."
