Chapter 204

Mr. Adams frowned and began to think about the plan Qin Shaoyan said.

Then he said slowly: "This challenge is not mandatory. The other party can completely ignore it. After all, the rich don't have time to play this boring game."

"That doesn't matter." Qin Shaoyan said still very confidently, "I said, as long as there are more people participating, it doesn't matter whether they participate or not."

“The real power of the Ice Bucket Challenge lies in its viral spread, spreading through interpersonal circles and forming a snowball effect.”

"The snowball will get bigger and bigger. The more generations it spreads, the larger the number of people affected will be. Even if it spreads throughout the United States, it won't take long."

“The more people who know about it, the more famous it becomes.”

Qin Shaoyan said with a smile: "Mr. Adams, you can imagine how famous this will be as the initiator of the event."

Adams nodded involuntarily. As long as it spread throughout the United States, no matter how boring this activity is, it can gain a certain amount of fame.

This should be enough for Raymond. As long as he builds his reputation, many other things will be easy to handle.

"The Ice Bucket Challenge is very easy to be backward compatible at first, but it is difficult to make it upward, which is normal."

Adams nodded in agreement. The ice bucket challenge has become a fashion. There is definitely no shortage of celebrities who are popular. Even some politicians such as congressmen and mayors will do it in order to show their closeness to the people.

Qin Shaoyan continued, "Of course, the operation here also requires a little skill, otherwise the spread of fame will be limited."

After all, the ice bucket challenge has simple rules and a low threshold for getting started, making it easy to imitate.

When things really develop to this point, it doesn't matter whether those rich people are involved or not. It's just the icing on the cake.

Adams was surprised. He didn't expect Qin Shaoyan to invest so much in this seemingly simple plan.

"At least some small stars will get involved, and then some more famous stars will be coerced to donate their love."

“So our plan is to start from ordinary people, hire a few people to participate at the beginning, then upload videos, and then find a few Internet celebrities to fuel the fire.”

Qin Shaoyan smiled softly, "This is not about money, Mr. Adams."

“Once the popularity starts to ferment, people will immediately come to follow the trend and take advantage of the popularity.”

"Just for the Ice Bucket Challenge, I spent tens of millions of dollars on setting up a website to upload and stream videos."

It's not that his family can't come up with the money, but such a large sum of money is just to build publicity for Raymond, so that's definitely not going to work.

"The next step is to build public opinion, promote the Ice Bucket Challenge into a popular culture, and actively call on young people to participate."

Adams looked at Qin Shaoyan and said very sincerely: "Mr. Qin, how much does it cost? Please give me a price."

"The remaining publicity and campaign spending will also be no less than tens of millions of dollars."

“As long as the Ice Bucket Challenge is labeled as cool, youthful, and fashionable, young people will imitate it.”

Therefore, the feasibility of Mr. Qin’s proposal is still very high.

"This activity is inseparable from the support of connections." Qin Shaoyan said lightly, "Mr. Adams, if you really want to help, then try your best to mobilize your connections and relationships to promote the early stage of this challenge activity, so that The more people join, the more famous the person is, the better the effect will be.”

"No problem." Mr. Adams agreed without hesitation, "I will do it. I still know a few friends."

"That's good." Qin Shaoyan nodded, "We have an old saying in China that everything depends on people and God. After the event starts, it's up to God how much Raymond can harvest." Mr. Adams stood up. , stretched out his hand with gratitude on his face, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for everything you have done for Raymond. You have gained the friendship of our Adams family."

"From now on, I owe you a favor. If you encounter any little trouble in California, you can come to me."

Qin Shaoyan also smiled and shook hands with Mr. Adams vigorously, "Thank you, Mr. Adams."

Mr. Adams left Qin Shaoyan his personal phone number, said many words of gratitude before leaving, and invited Qin Shaoyan to visit his home at any time.

It was obvious that he really wanted to make Qin Shaoyan as a friend.

After all, Qin Shaoyan was really careful in designing this promotional method for Raymond, and it cost a lot.

There must be a return on investment. This is an unspoken rule in American politics.

You don’t have to repay when you don’t have the ability, but if you don’t repay when you have the ability, it would be political suicide. If you don’t have credibility, no one will invest money in you.

After the new president takes office, he will be generous with rewards. A lot of official positions are used to arrange financial sponsors, and even ambassadors abroad can be traded.

All sponsors can get what they want, whether it is financial benefits or political benefits. The size of the return depends entirely on the amount of initial sponsorship.

Mr. Adams is very willing to make Qin Shaoyan as a friend. After all, politicians can always become good friends with rich people.

After sending the guests away, Qin Shaoyan lazily collapsed on the sofa, drinking a drink and thinking.

Zhang Pingyi rushed over and asked curiously: "Why did those two people come to you?"

"Come and bribe me." Qin Shaoyan said casually.

Zhang Pingyi was a little surprised, "You are so rich and you still need bribes?"

"Bribery is not just about money, there are other ways." Qin Shaoyan glanced at Zhang Pingyi, "You're from Lu Province, you don't even understand this bit of human sophistication."

"This worldly sophistication can easily become a human accident." Zhang Pingyi retorted, "Why should I study this when I have nothing to do?"

"You don't plan to develop in the United States, so you don't need to spend so much effort building relationships with the locals, right?"

"It's just a casual move, it will come in handy." Qin Shaoyan sat up straight, "What have you been doing these days?"

"I'm working for Bram Cohen?" Zhang Pingyi was a little surprised, "Are you too busy? I've been in the office all the time, and you didn't even see me?"

"Then you must be hiding in the corner and keeping silent. Who could notice you?" Qin Shaoyan argued.

"Fuck, there are many functions made by me. You can see it by looking at the code submission log." Zhang Pingyi said angrily, "Don't you read the daily newspaper every day?"

"Oh, I must be dazzled." Qin Shaoyan suddenly changed the subject, "Why are you getting involved in the video website? I don't remember assigning you a task. Do you want shares?"

"No." Zhang Pingyi replied calmly, "I have to learn. Otherwise, what if I don't know how to make a video website when I go back?"

"..." Qin Shaoyan was speechless, "How stupid must I be to engage in such money-losing things in China."

"Ah?!" Zhang Pingyi was dumbfounded.
