You call this entrepreneurship?

Chapter 207 President Qin returns to China!

"It's hard to find, but you have to find it." Qin Shaoyan said with a serious expression, "The diseases you mentioned are not rare. There are countless major laboratories of pharmaceutical companies studying these diseases. There is no shortage of research and development funds for these diseases. "

"We need to find diseases that are unknown to the general public and that seem tragic."

"Only in this way can the Ice Bucket Challenge be meaningful. It can educate the public about rare diseases, hoping to attract public attention and raise research and development funds for the treatment of rare diseases."

Raymond was a little confused and blinked.

Mr. Adams reacted much faster and said immediately: "We understand, don't worry, we will go find this kind of patient right away."

Raymond was a little confused, "But Dad, no one I know has this disease."

"It will be there soon." Mr. Adams patted his son on the shoulder, "Don't worry about these details and finish today's work according to the script, okay?!"

"OK!" Raymond nodded obediently.

Adams turned around and took out his cell phone and started calling friends to inquire.

The soft article is written with sincere feelings that make people tear up. It uses delicate writing to describe the touching friendship between Raymond and Steve, and expresses regret and regret for Steve's unfortunate experience.

"Those people are not important." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "Let's start from the entertainment industry first, let them taste the benefits first, and celebrities will naturally join in voluntarily."

Qin Shaoyan stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "That's good. The reaction is very real. If he doesn't jump up, some people will question the fraud."

The originally infinitely beautiful life ended like this, and it was very sad to have to die at the very beginning of life.

"Hype?" Mr. Adams thought for a moment, "Well, I have some friends in the press and CNN."

Next, several Internet celebrities on Facebook began to repost it, and then soft articles modified by professional writers began to appear.

"Benefits?" Mr. Adams was a little surprised. Besides having a reputation of being enthusiastic about public welfare, what other benefits can there be from participating in this kind of activity?
"Of course there are benefits. Who would be willing to participate if there are no benefits?" Qin Shaoyan smiled pretending to be mysterious.

Less than three days after the incident took place, a CNN reporter soon came to interview Raymond and Steve.

Soon the two assistants nearby rushed forward, wrapped Raymond in a blanket, and wiped the water stains on his body with a dry towel.

This kind of thing is easy to check. As long as you find the relationship, you can enter the hospital database and query it.

In fact, what Qin Shaoyan wants to say most is, Raymond, you are different from others, don't waste time and resources on this road.

Intentionally or unintentionally, this high-quality article began to circulate on the Internet and even appeared in newspapers.

Mr. Adams hesitated, "Is this okay?"

"Raymon doesn't need any tough guy persona, he just needs to act in his true self and impress people with his sincerity."

"The story of Raymond and his friends who are patients with ALS needs to be well prepared and touching, and then Internet celebrities will spread the touching story and attract the attention of reporters."

Mr. Adams's eyes lit up, "This script is very natural, just follow this."

"That's even better." Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, "These relationships must be used, but our first step is to hype it up on the Internet."

Mr. Adams thought for a while, "Do people in politics also need it? How many city councilors do I know?"

Mr. Adams frowned when he saw it, "No, no, no, Raymond can't do this. Why are you jumping up? You'd better sit there and don't move like a tough guy."

For a time, young people in the United States regarded the ice bucket challenge as a fashion.

So Raymond directly carried a bucket of ice water and poured himself into a drowned rat in front of the reporter, which scared the reporter and screamed.

Raymond faced the camera and said honestly that he must do something for his friend and could not just watch his best friend live in pain and suffering.

He feels that with Raymond's acting skills, it's better not to create any character settings, otherwise he will ruin the performance for you in a matter of minutes.

Raymond sat obediently on the chair and started reading the lines based on the teleprompter in the distance. After reading, he happily picked up the iron bucket filled with ice water and poured it on his head.

The incidence rate of ALS is about 40 in 50. The most common group of patients is men aged to , but there are also adolescent patients.

This event quickly spread, especially on Facebook, and various Internet celebrities joined in either for charity or to prank their friends.

Raymond quickly made friends with the ALS patient and shot several funny videos together, which were then uploaded to the YouTube website.

Mr. Adams's network quickly found a suitable candidate, a 22-year-old young college student named Steve. Last year he could run and jump like a normal person, but now he can only sit in a wheelchair.

"No, now is not the time." Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly, "We need to hype things up first, and then start the ice bucket challenge."

Raymond, who was shivering from the cold, stammered the concept of the ice bucket challenge, and then named three of his friends.

……

It's still possible to act as one's true self, at least the probability of being gangbanged is smaller.

"Director, let's do it again."

The sour stimulation made Raymond couldn't help shouting, jumping up and shaking.

Of course, these energetic people are not enthusiastic about charity, most of them are just doing it as a prank.

After the news was broadcast, the three friends who were named readily accepted the challenge and followed the rules by naming three other people and uploaded the video to YouTube.

"Of course, sincerity will have unexpected effects." Qin Shaoyan said casually.

Mr Adams asked: "What do we do next? Is it just a matter of putting the video online?"

After that, these videos "accidentally" appeared on the daily recommendation list, and the number of views soared.

"After Raymond launches the challenge in front of the camera, the rest is up to Mr. Adams to persuade some influential people to participate." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "It doesn't need to be too famous. Mainly in the entertainment industry. It can be a movie star or a model, and it can also be a sports star.”

But Mr. Adams obviously wanted to spend money and resources to support him hard, so Qin Shaoyan just pretended to be confused and cooperated.

Dousing a bucket of ice water on a friend in the winter is quite a sour feeling, and it's done in the name of charity. Young people simply can't resist this temptation.

On campuses across the United States, ice water was soon in short supply, and you could see a group of people standing on the snow dousing themselves with ice water everywhere.

In less than a week, tens of thousands of Ice Bucket Challenge videos appeared on YouTube, the vast majority of which featured teenagers.

With such a mass base, Mr. Adams's lobbying work went very smoothly.

At first his friends refused. It was already November, and pouring a bucket of ice water on yourself in the winter would be a sin.

Whoever likes to engage in such frivolous public welfare can do it.

But they soon discovered that pouring ice water has become a new fashionable activity. Now that the atmosphere has been heightened, it would be inappropriate to refuse to agree. YouTube immediately followed up and paid special attention to these people. They all underwent real-name authentication. The more prestigious and famous people are, the more important they are to be recommended.

Among them, a certain Hollywood third-tier actress curiously participated once, and after uploading the video to the website, it quickly became popular on the Internet.

The website not only highlighted her videos, but also excerpted clips from the movies she starred in.

Then several Internet celebrities forwarded the video of her participating in the ice bucket challenge to Facebook, and attached a lot of praise.

The actress looked bewildered as she saw that she had gained 70,000 fans online within a few days. Then she felt so ecstatic that she specially shot a video and posted it online to thank her fans.

The actress's fame has also continued to rise, and her online discussion has soared to near-first-tier status. As she becomes popular online, she is also constantly being invited to audition in real life.

With the power of role models, from politicians who are interested in running for elections to small stars and models below the third tier, they who are eager for traffic and attention have joined in one after another.

Soon, Hollywood's second-tier stars could no longer sit still, and took the initiative to contact the YouTube website, register an account, and start uploading their own ice bucket challenge videos.

The ice bucket challenge snowballed, starting on campus and spreading to Hollywood and then sports stars.

Seeing YouTube's fame growing, Sequoia and Microsoft Ventures were ecstatic.

Taylor exclaimed to Qin Shaoyan: "YouTube is not the project with the highest return rate I have ever invested in, but it is definitely the project with the shortest return period."

"John, you are such a genius." Microsoft's Davis kept patting Qin Shaoyan, "If you have any good projects, you must tell me. We at Microsoft will be the first to invest."

"Thank you." Qin Shaoyan accepted their compliments calmly, "I will definitely inform you of any good projects next time."

In fact, just after Davis finished speaking, Qin Shaoyan already had several projects in his mind. It was a pity that the conditions were not mature now, otherwise he would drag them into a trap.

Taylor said with eyes full of excitement: "John, do you have any plans next? As long as you ask, we will definitely cooperate."

Qin Shaoyan looked at Taylor calmly, "Taylor, have you forgotten the most important thing?"

Taylor was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously: "What's important?"

"Summer camp." Qin Shaoyan said angrily, "You promised to help me get it done before. Don't tell me you forgot?"

"I have done everything I promised you."

Taylor coughed awkwardly, "I haven't forgotten that I have been helping you run this thing recently."

Summer camp is an activity that involves many aspects and many relationships that need to be worked out.

Among them, we persuade relevant cooperating universities to select guests for the summer camp.

For such a high-end international summer camp, naturally you can't just find a few cats and dogs to be guest speakers. You must have status and identity.

There are also activities held by summer camps involving some venues, which also need to be communicated in advance, such as national parks, museums, the Capitol Building, and the United Nations Headquarters.

Some things need to be solved by venture capital and Facebook. If money can't be solved, you have to use personal connections.

It didn't go well at first, but Qin Shaoyan played the two cards of reality show and "Ice Bucket Challenge" in succession, and achieved extremely shocking results.

This caused those "special families" who were waiting to put aside their doubts and began to actively contact them, hoping to participate in the summer camp activities.

With the help of these "special families", things went very smoothly, and even some minor problems were quickly solved.

Qin Shaoyan picked up the itinerary of the summer camp plan and began to check it with Taylor one by one until the last activity was checked.

"Basically, these are the things. They may be deleted, but no more items will be added." Qin Shaoyan said while thinking, "After all, the summer camp activities cannot be too long, two to three weeks, and the schedule is too tight. It affects the student experience.”

“No matter what you do, put user experience first.”

Taylor nodded, "Are there any other questions besides these?"

"How is the progress in Europe? Do you want to invite some European political families to participate?" Qin Shaoyan asked.

Taylor shook his head, "It's better not to give it up. Just find some random people. There's some chaos over there in Europe."

"Those political families have foundations specifically designed to connect with them. The backgrounds of those foundations are very complicated. If you have rash contact with those people, you might get into some trouble."

Qin Shaoyan nodded and crossed out a line on the plan. He and Taylor had the same idea.

They just want to make money and not get involved in some trouble.

"The things here are almost settled. It's time for me to return to China." Qin Shaoyan put away the summer camp plan, "I'm asking for your help with YouTube."

Taylor said confidently, "It's a trivial matter. Copyright litigation is not that easy. Even if someone sues, it will be difficult to win with evidence."

Microsoft's Davis said with a smile: "In the next few days, there will be a lawsuit against a video website in the California court. At that time, the judge will make a ruling in favor of our website. As long as we have this precedent, the rest will be easy to handle." too much."

Qin Shaoyan immediately understood that this must be a lawsuit specially arranged by them.

After arranging things in the United States, Qin Shaoyan can finally return to China with peace of mind.

When Mr. Qin appeared in the campus network office again, the employees immediately got excited and started running around telling each other.

"Mr. Qin is back!"

The employees have figured out the rules. Every time Mr. Qin comes back from a business trip to the United States, the company's development will reach a new level.

Seeing that the campus network is getting stronger and stronger and has become the leading social networking site in China, and is getting closer and closer to the goal of going public, everyone is feeling excited.

As soon as the company goes public, all we will spend is the money of American investors.

Not only were the employees happy when Qin Shaoyan returned to China, Xiong Xiaoge was even happier.

Mr. Xiong immediately appeared in Qin Shaoyan's office and greeted with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Qin. Did your trip to the United States go well?"

"It's okay. Although there were some twists and turns, the matter was still done." Qin Shaoyan threw the final version of the international summer camp plan on the table, "Mr. Xiong, you can read it yourself. If you have any questions, I will answer them after reading it. "

Xiong Xiaoge held down the plan and did not move. Instead, he looked at Qin Shaoyan with a smile, "Don't worry about the plan. I have something else to ask Mr. Qin."

"what's up?"

"When do you plan to launch China's video website?" Xiong Xiaoge looked at Qin Shaoyan expectantly.

"What the hell?!" Qin Shaoyan was stunned.
