October 19th, Wednesday, noon …
Qiao Liang put down his controller, paused the game on the big television, and went to the door to get the takeout.
He had officially settled down after moving to Jingzhou yesterday. Qiao Liang planned to gather with his friends in Jingzhou during the weekend. It was a working day after all. Boss Pei and the others should be very busy and did not have much time.
He checked the messages in his fan group on his cell phone while eating Fish-Catching Take-Out.
"Old Qiao, it seems like someone is using Tengda's name to cheat people. Do you want to ask the internal staff what's going on?"
"That's right. Isn't this ruining Tengda's reputation?"
"The most ridiculous thing is that this person actually passed Weibo's verification. It's too deceptive!"
Qiao Liang was stunned.
Someone was using Tengda Corporation's name to cheat people? What's more, he passed Weibo's verification?
Was he that arrogant?
Qiao Liang immediately clicked on the link in the group and jumped to the Weibo page.
"Tengda's Ma Yang?
"Verification is … an employee of Tengda Corporation?
"Yes … I think there is such a person.
"Where did I hear this name?"
Qiao Liang felt that the name Ma Yang was a little familiar, but he could not remember at the moment.
That was because the department that Old Ma was in charge of had not been close to Tengda's other departments. Many department heads had only heard of Old Ma and had never seen him, let alone Qiao Liang.
"I remember now!
"Wasn't this the person who invested in IOI and earned 500 million yuan for Tengda?
"Is someone impersonating him? That can't be. Weibo's verification should not be wrong.
"Then, what is he doing?"
Qiao Liang felt a little confused. If it was really that Ma Yang, he should be Boss Pei's right-hand man and a proper senior executive of Tengda Corporation.
Why did he only have so few fans on Weibo? It was like a high quality imitation.
He clicked on Ma Yang's Weibo again and found that there was only one Weibo post from last Saturday. It said that he randomly helped people fulfill their dreams, but there was no more post after that.
Four days had passed. Many people had reposted and commented on this Weibo post. Some people had also left the QR code for the payment, but there seemed to be no follow-up.
That was why these people thought that Ma Yang was using Tengda Corporation's name to cheat people. Many people were calling him a liar.
Qiao Liang was a little confused. Logically speaking, this should not be the case.
How could the dignified President Ma go back on his word?
Someone who had earned 500 million yuan for Boss Pei would not lie for a few tens of thousands of yuan, right?
Qiao Liang looked at the reposts and comments carefully and found that the content was very simple. It was nothing more than comments like 'choose me, choose me' or 'lower the winning rate'.
"Could it be that it's because these people wrote too simply?"
Suddenly, Qiao Liang's interest was piqued. He forwarded the post and wrote about his dream in detail.
"Hello, Boss Ma. I am a new UP Master who uses my love to generate electricity, but my fans always say that my microphone is too trashy. In order to give my fans a better video viewing experience and to better answer Tengda Games, can I ask you to fulfill my dream and reimburse me for a professional microphone? Thank you so much! "
At the same time, he pasted a QR code on the back.
After reposting the Weibo post, Qiao Liang did not pay much attention to it. He continued to chat in the group as he ate.
However, when he scrolled through Weibo after eating, he suddenly realized that Boss Ma had actually replied!
Amidst a bunch of "You still have the nerve to call yourself a newbie UP Master? Among the comments, Boss Ma's comment was like a firefly in the dark night. It was so outstanding.
"Your dream is very good! However, it is a pity that I can only help grassroots with less than 1,000 fans to fulfill their dreams! I am very sorry! "
Qiao Liang was stunned. Only grassroots with less than 1,000 fans to fulfill their dreams?
What kind of strange rule was that?
Logically speaking, the more fans one interacted with, the higher the popularity one would generate, right?
You are more like a liar!
Sure enough, many of Teacher Qiao's irritable fans had already started to flame under Ma Yang's reply.
"Liar, how dare you show your face!"
"What kind of strange rule is this? Discrimination? Can't people have dreams just because they have more fans? "
"I meet the conditions. Why are you ignoring me?"
However, obviously, some people were inspired by Qiao Liang's Weibo post and began to write about their dreams seriously.
"Hello, Boss Ma. I am a social animal. I want to leave my job because of the company, but I can't muster up the courage due to financial pressure. I don't want money. I just hope that you can help push me to work in Tengda. Thank you very much! Of course, if this is not easy to do, you can send me money. "
There were some similar replies.
After Qiao Liang reposted Ma Yang's Weibo post, many of his fans flooded in. Although most people did not believe it and were waiting to see, some people still tried to get lucky.
Unexpectedly, after a few minutes, Ma Yang reposted the comment of the 'social animal'.
"You can't push me! If you want to work in Tengda, you have to pass the unified exam. This is the company's rule! However, I can sponsor you to prepare for the exam and buy materials to revise. I have already sent you 10,000 yuan. I wish you success! "
Soon, the original owner reposted the Weibo post as well.
"It's actually true! Thank you, Boss Ma! I will resign now and focus on preparing for the Tengda exam! "
There was a screenshot of the receipt below. Of course, some key information was blurred out.
This Weibo post immediately attracted a large number of onlookers.
"Holy sh * t? He really sent me money? "
"Did he not send me money previously because the dream was not written in detail?"
"Is this a scam? Is this a two-man show to deceive people? "
"Dad! Help me fulfill my dream too! "
Those who were chasing after Ma Yang's Weibo post changed their tone instantly.
Although there were still a lot of people who were skeptical, there were even more people who began to seriously leave comments below!
Soon, new content began to appear on Ma Yang's Weibo.
"No matter how hard it is, you can't let your child suffer. It is a good dream to let your child drink milk every morning! I have already sent you 5,000 yuan. Ask me for more after you finish it! "
"You want a Fully-Automated Bickering Machine? This means that you have good artistic taste! I have already sent you 500 yuan. Go and place your order! "
"If you want to work well, you have to have a good body first? I have already sent you 20,000 yuan. Go to a proper hospital for a comprehensive physical examination and buy some nutritious products to nourish yourself! I also want to remind everyone to take care of their health! "
The Weibo post after Weibo post quickly received enthusiastic responses from netizens.
"I really received it! Thank you, Boss Ma. I have wronged you previously. I apologize! "
"Boss Ma, you are really my benefactor. Thank you!"
"Dad! I have a dream too. Help me fulfill it too! "
Qiao Liang did not know whether to laugh or cry. These idiotic netizens really had no integrity.
Just now, they were scolding him enthusiastically. After realizing that he had really sent them money, their attitudes instantly changed 180 degrees.
However, after careful observation, Qiao Liang found something unusual.
"This Boss Ma's way of sending money is a bit unique."
In fact, it was common to do things like lucky draws on Weibo. There were also people who sent money directly, but the number was relatively small.
In Qiao Liang's opinion, everyone played like this on Weibo in the final analysis for popularity.
The best way to spend money to buy popularity was actually to do lucky draws: spread quickly, there would be high attention, and the entire cycle of attention would be very long.
If money was sent, it was obviously a lot worse than the attention of the lucky draw. After all, dozens or hundreds of lottery tickets could be drawn. If money was sent, it could only be sent to one person at a time. Moreover, the lucky draw could last for a month. If money was sent, it would end immediately. It could not continue to create popularity.
Even if money was used to buy popularity, most people would choose to send money to celebrities with many fans because that would be the most popular!
Boss Ma was the opposite.
He did not buy a single fan. When he posted on Weibo, he also cherished his words like gold. So many people were calling him a liar, but he did not come out to defend himself. He had been waiting silently for so many days to finally send his first sum of money.
What's more, Boss Ma seemed to have his own set of standards when choosing people.
As long as the number of fans exceeded 1,000, he would not send money. He would only send money to invisible people and grassroots people on the Internet.
If the content of the comments was too little or empty, he would not send money. Many netizens even called him father without any integrity. Boss Ma was indifferent and only sent money to those with good reasons and sincere feelings.
What's more, it could not be repeated reasons. Copying homework was not allowed.
After sending money, no matter how grateful the other party was, Boss Ma would never reply to a single word. It was as if they had met by chance, helped each other, and then forgotten about each other.
Qiao Liang had seen many people spend money to buy popularity on Weibo.
However, it was rare to see people like Boss Ma who spent money but did not seem to be interested in popularity!
Qiao Liang followed Boss Ma's Weibo for a few hours and realized that Boss Ma was no longer reposting Weibo. He guessed that was it for today.
Before it ended, Boss Ma sent one last Weibo post. "I helped many friends realize their dreams today. I am very happy! In the next few days, I will continue to help friends realize their dreams. Please pay more attention. In addition, from tomorrow onwards, I will live-stream playing GOG. I welcome everyone to watch my live-stream! "
In one day, more than 100,000 yuan was sent out one after another. The number of fans had also skyrocketed from the original three digits to tens of thousands.
However, many people obviously came with the mentality of being a freeloader. They only reposted and commented on Weibo but did not follow.
Boss Ma did not seem to care about this. He did not require everyone to follow, nor did he have any restrictions on the people who commented. He only sent money directly when he saw a satisfactory reply.
In the end, he spent more than 100,000 yuan, but the number of fans only increased by tens of thousands. What's more, it did not seem to have a good spread effect. It was a huge loss.
Qiao Liang could not help but wonder. Boss Ma did not seem to know much about marketing.
The efficiency of the money spent was too low!
The key was that there was no way to distinguish whether these people really needed the money or were making up stories. Among the 100,000 yuan sent out, some people really needed the money, but there were definitely people who made up stories to deceive people.
Obviously, they did not get the essence of Boss Pei's marketing spirit.
However, Qiao Liang thought about it again. Boss Ma was an investment genius after all. He probably had Boss Pei's guidance behind him. There was probably some deeper consideration, right?
Was there any special consideration for the live-stream of GOG tomorrow?
Qiao Liang was looking forward to it.
Although Qiao Liang himself was not qualified to participate because he had too many fans, he still followed Boss Ma and prepared to continue to pay attention to the development of the situation.
