November 3rd, Thursday …
Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Handong University branch …
Pei Qian sipped his coffee and browsed the web with a frown.
He was a little puzzled.
Why was the direction of public opinion on the internet changing every day?
Previously, everyone had been saying that Tengda was squeezing the clubs too hard. The various clubs were planning to quit. They felt that Tengda would most likely suffer a heavy blow and would not be able to set up the GPL.
All in all, most of them were worried, pessimistic, and indignant on behalf of the clubs.
Pei Qian had been quite happy at the time.
Keep complaining. If no one wants the GOG teams of these clubs, I'll buy them all. Wouldn't it be great to buy them at a high price?
Yet, in less than two days, the wind had completely changed!
For some reason, the news that the three clubs had decided not to sell their GOG teams had spread. The news that Shenhua Real Estate and Sun Strike Studios were preparing to buy GPL qualifications had also spread. Public opinion had taken a 180-degree turn!
"Am I seeing things? Even Shenhua Real Estate has entered the market? They want to play E-Sports? That's a f * cking blow! Can the other clubs withstand this kind of money? "
"The GPL is actually going to have sixteen teams. How are they going to arrange the competition schedule?"
"One look and I can tell that it's a huge sum of money!"
"It's over, I've been slapped in the face. I thought that the GPL would not be able to be set up, but from the looks of it, how could it not be set up? They're going crazy just from fighting for the slots! "
"It's only for one time, and the time limit is three days? Hurry up and fight for it. Even if you can get twenty million yuan, you'll still be making a killing! "
"That's right. The entry of large capital means that the overall outlook is very optimistic! Who knows, we might be able to earn millions or tens of millions just by selling the slots! "
The more Pei Qian thought about these comments, the more he felt that something was amiss.
Was there an Internet Water Army stirring things up?
Two days ago, they said that no one wanted the GPL slots. How long had it been? Why did public opinion change so quickly?
It was impossible to say that there was no one here who added fuel to the fire.
However, even if he knew this, there was nothing Pei Qian could do.
That was because Boss Pei had fallen into a reverse Tacitus trap: Once he became the embodiment of wealth in everyone's eyes, no matter what Boss Pei said, people would understand that it was a wealth password.
When Boss Pei said that the GPL league would become popular, everyone thought that the GPL would indeed become popular.
If Boss Pei said that the GPL league would not become popular, everyone would think that Boss Pei was being humble or trying to dissuade those who were not determined.
All in all, the GPL would become popular as long as Boss Pei spoke!
Thus, Pei Qian could do nothing but worry.
However, on second thought, there were only a few days left before the auction, so there was no point in struggling. When the time came, he would just sell it for as much as he could.
All he had to do was spend some more brain cells and think of a strategy to spend more money.
As he was browsing the web, his phone rang.
He picked up his phone and saw that it was from Old Ma.
"Brother Qian! I've already prepared the first episode and am planning to start a live broadcast. Do you want to come and watch it live? "Ma Yang's excited voice came through the phone.
Confused, Pei Qian looked at the time. It was two in the afternoon on Thursday.
After being stunned for a moment, Pei Qian quickly nodded. "Alright, I'll be there right away! Uh, what's the address? "
Ma Yang said, "I'll send it to you now!"
Pei Qian could not help but feel emotional again after hanging up. Old Ma was still reliable.
Wouldn't it be better to choose a weekend for the first live-stream? Wouldn't it be better to choose a prime time of around 8 PM?
Why did he have to choose a weekday afternoon? Everyone would be at work. How many people could watch his live-stream?
However, this was in line with Pei Qian's expectations. After all, the fewer people watching, the lower the chances of it becoming popular!
Pei Qian looked at the address on his cell phone.
This time, Old Ma rented a special office for the live-stream. Chen Yufeng and the entire professional evaluation team usually worked here.
Pei Qian immediately rushed over.
…
At the same time, Ma Yang was reading the script that Chen Yufeng had written seriously.
He did not need to memorize it and could watch the teleprompter live-stream directly. However, Ma Yang was afraid that he would stutter during the live-stream. Thus, he had to read it twice in advance so that it would be smoother during the live-stream.
At first, Chen Yufeng wanted to hire someone to do makeup for Boss Ma, but Boss Ma refused.
Ma Yang was very resistant to makeup and was not interested in wearing a suit.
In the end, Ma Yang went to wash his hair under Chen Yufeng's insistence.
There were piles of learning supplies on the table in front of Ma Yang.
There were plastic book covers, pencils, erasers, table mats, document bags, solid glue, and so on. There were several sets of different brands of learning supplies.
The other staff were busy. Some were checking the seats, some were adjusting the lights, and some were preparing various emergency plans.
This group of people had been recruited by Chen Yufeng after he joined the company. There were talents in all fields. Now, the entire team was serving Ma Yang alone. Their mission was to provide live-stream content for Ma Yang.
As for whether Ma Yang could really become an internet celebrity, that was hard to say. It would depend on fate.
However, at the very least, the live-stream content provided by these teams was accurate.
Boss Pei came in from outside as they were busy.
Chen Yufeng quickly went up to him. "Boss Pei!"
Pei Qian nodded and saw Old Ma, who was reading the script seriously, and the pile of learning supplies on the table.
Pei Qian was stunned. "This is?"
Chen Yufeng quickly explained, "Oh, Boss Pei, this is the evaluation item we prepared for Boss Ma's first live-stream: learning supplies."
Seeing that Boss Pei's expression seemed a little surprised, Chen Yufeng quickly said, "Boss Pei, you said that you could test anything at that time, so we planned to start with some small things. If it doesn't work, we'll change it next time …"
Pei Qian raised his hand. "No need! This is good. "
Obviously, Chen Yufeng was afraid of offending the big manufacturers. He did not dare to evaluate some popular digital products right away. He first picked some insignificant things.
That was not bad for Pei Qian.
After all, being scolded was also traffic.
No one would be interested in reviewing small things, and no one would pay attention to them. Naturally, there would not be traffic. That was good.
Ma Yang also noticed Pei Qian. He turned around and said, "Brother Qian, you're here!
"I'm busy right now. I don't have time to receive you. Just watch my performance later!"
Ma Yang began to recite the script again after he finished speaking.
Pei Qian stood calmly at the side. He took out his cell phone and entered Old Ma's live-stream, waiting to watch the bullet screen comments.
It had to be said that Ma Yang had really accumulated hundreds of thousands of fans over this period of time.
After all, he was burning real money. Ma Yang posted the Dream Fund on Weibo every day when he had nothing to do and accumulated a lot of attention. Previously, he had found DGE's team members to play games together and directed a large number of fans to the live-stream.
What's more, Old Ma talked about his investment experience in the live-stream and was regarded by the audience as an 'interested investor'. He also attracted countless fans.
All in all, the preparations were almost done. He just had to wait for the live-stream.
Ma Yang recited the script twice more and then raised his hand to make an OK gesture. "You can begin now!"
Chen Yufeng nodded. "Alright, let's officially prepare for the live-stream!"
Pei Qian could not help but feel emotional. It was quite formal.
With the professional team packaging, Old Ma really looked like a live-streamer.
However, the style of the goods he brought was indeed a little wrong.
Other people brought lipstick, cosmetics, and the like, but Ma Yang brought school supplies.
If one did not know better, they would have thought that it was a live-stream for primary school students!
A large number of viewers poured in instantly when there was an image in the live-stream. However, it was not very popular because it was a working day.
"Boss Ma is live-streaming!"
"What has Boss Ma been busy with recently?"
"Does Boss Ma know about the recent GPL league? Do you have any insider information that you can reveal?"
"Eh, the background of Boss Ma's live-stream has changed. Why, is this specially prepared background?"
The fans had not seen Boss Ma live-stream for some time. All of them were very enthusiastic and sporadic gifts floated past.
Ma Yang quickly said, "Who's giving me gifts?"
"Manager, whoever gives me gifts will be sealed forever. Do you hear me?"
"I don't lack money. Please don't give me gifts. I'll get angry with whoever gives me gifts!"
"Alright, almost everyone is here. Let's get straight to the point."
"Today, I'll introduce a few products to everyone."
Ma Yang brought the various products that he had prepared to the camera.
A bunch of question marks floated across the bullet screen comments in the live-stream.
“？？？”
"Boss Ma … is he going to advertise?"
"Boss Ma is so rich, why does he need to advertise?"
"Is he going to promote some high-end luxury goods?"
"What is this? It looks like pencils, erasers, and solid glue? "
"What the hell?"
The audience was stunned.
They did not expect Boss Ma to introduce the products at the beginning. What did that mean?
Ma Yang ignored the bullet screen comments and read the script.
"Today, I'll introduce a few things that you must not buy.
"These pencils and erasers have excessive levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; these table mats and document bags have excessive plasticizers; these solid glue have large amounts of free formaldehyde; these plastic book covers have excessive levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and phthalates …"

He posted a long article on the public account, explaining in detail why this book was anti-capital. After that, he included some essays on writing the book. Because it would affect the reading experience if he published a single chapter, they would all be posted on the public account. Everyone could pay attention to 'Green Shirt Get Drunk'. They would regularly give out red packets and draw small prizes.
