You call this entrepreneurship?

Chapter 320

People's joys and sorrows are different.

Other video websites are still racking their brains for how to survive and are struggling to figure out how to get the next round of financing.

As for Qin Shaoyan, he acted quite relaxed.

Because his company's recent data is quite impressive, with all data showing explosive growth.

It has to be said that the "Super Girl" topic is so popular that it exceeds everyone's expectations.

When Qin Shaoyan put forward this plan, many people in the company did not take it seriously, thinking that President Qin was just trying to gain popularity.

Since Qvod and "Super Girl" reached a strategic cooperation, Xiangnan TV registered an official account on Qvod and then posted segments of the "Super Girl" program online.

These seemingly ordinary program videos appeared on the homepage of Qvod in a very short time.

Qin Shaoyan decisively ordered Kou Hongfei, "Immediately assign a group of programmers to make a daily hot list and push the most played videos of the day to the homepage!"

“The ranking list should be placed in a prominent position on the homepage so that users can notice it as soon as they enter the website.”

“We need to put an ad for the Super Girl program on the homepage of the website, and make the words ‘official partner’ bold and big so that everyone can see it!”

“In addition, the hot tag rankings are put together with the hot play rankings.”

Kou Hongfei hesitated. "If we add two rankings, what about the original rankings on the homepage?"

"Take it down first. It won't be needed these days." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand and said, "First push up these two rankings to make it easier for users to see what the most popular videos and hot tags are on the website every day."

When it comes to fanning the flames, Kou Hongfei immediately understood, "Boss Qin, is there anything I need to pay special attention to in the rules of this ranking list?"

Qin Shaoyan said expressionlessly: "Follow the normal ranking rules, and add the manual editing function in the background."

Kou Hongfei asked cautiously: "Do we also need to edit the playback data and label display data manually?"

Qin Shaoyan looked at him with a half-smile and emphasized again, "Manual editing is to prevent unexpected situations, so we must leave enough redundant operation space."

Kou Hongfei has understood everything. On the Internet, data is like a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone and can be manipulated however one wants.

In this rather simple age, netizens have not yet realized this, so they have an instinctive trust in data.

When the data rankings on Qvod.com came out, fans of the contestants rushed in to take a look and found that the contestants they supported were ranked very low.

How can this be possible? We must use practical actions to push the players we support to the top.

So no matter whether it is "corn", "jelly" or "boxed lunch", these fans are very active, sitting in front of the computer, playing the videos of their idols over and over again, and constantly clicking on the labels of their idols' names.

These first-generation female Internet data workers were still very ignorant at the time, their data processing methods were quite primitive, and their ideas were very rough, but they relied on manual operations to increase various data.

By the evening, the data of the three idols on the Qvod ranking list had already taken a cliff lead.

Then the fans of these three parties entered into a more intense competition for the rankings, brushing the data over and over again to consume each other.

The homepage of Qvod.com has almost become a special show for "Super Girl". Everywhere you look, there are various "Super Girl" videos. Only the official recommendation area has become the only pure land.

This spectacular scene frightened the employees of Qvod.com. They confirmed again and again that it was not caused by the backend editors, but was entirely created by the fans. Everyone was stunned.

Is the hot topic of “Super Girl” so awesome?

Not only did Qvod experience an explosion in data, but the campus network also saw a large number of registered users. These people flocked to the campus network forum like a carnival.

Then there are various polls and data collection.

The product manager of the campus network not only launched the "Super Girl" popular idol list, but also, in addition to getting one vote for signing in every day, other votes must be obtained by completing tasks.

The product manager also designed a weird rule, that is, if you interact in the forum, you have a chance to get a vote, so fans started to post spammy posts in the forum.

Soon the portal website noticed the anomalies in Qvod and the campus network, and immediately wrote a news report on its web page.

Even Xiong Xiaoge was alarmed and personally called Qin Shaoyan to ask, "What exactly is that Super Girl, and why is it so popular?"

"It's a national talent show produced by a local TV station. The first episode last year was quite successful. I didn't expect it to be so popular this year." Qin Shaoyan replied with a smile, "We can be said to have caught up with this trend."

Xiong Xiaoge was a little confused, but he thought deeply about it and asked, "Will this program be available next year?"

"There will be more." Qin Shaoyan replied, "We're already discussing cooperation for next year, but we don't plan to do it again in 07. It will be difficult to have such a grand occasion in the future." "Oh." Xiong Xiaoge nodded. He also felt that the atmosphere in front of him was a bit too hot, abnormally hot. If it continued like this, the administrative department would definitely intervene.

But we should take advantage of this current situation if we can.

"We will broadcast the Super Girl Finals live on Qvod this year," Qin Shaoyan said. "It is expected that there will be millions of people watching online. Would you like to come to Qvod to watch this historic moment together, Mr. Xiong?"

"No problem." Xiong Xiaoge agreed readily. This was indeed a historic moment. It was also the first time in history that such a large-scale live broadcast had taken place on the Internet.

"Boss Qin has a keen business sense."

Xiong Xiaoge was deeply moved and wondered how this guy did it.

He always has the good luck to get into the hot spots, is he really a genius?

Qin Shaoyan and Xiong Xiaoge exchanged a few pleasantries, and then received several calls. Without exception, they were all asking about the situation and congratulating Qvod and Campus Network on their new achievements.

Qin Shaoyan, in a good mood, waved his hand and said to the employees: "This month, we will give you an extra month's salary as a bonus! Each team leader should count the overtime work and give you double the overtime pay!"

"Thank you, Mr. Qin!"

"Mr. Qin is grand!"

The employees cheered loudly and clapped their hands excitedly to each other.

It has to be Mr. Qin. He really gives money when he has it!

Looking at the excited employees, Qin Shaoyan clapped his hands with a smile, "There is one more thing I want to ask our company's employees."

"Which one of you is the second dimension?"

The office suddenly became quiet. Everyone stared at Qin Shaoyan, looking at each other in confusion without saying a word.

After a minute of silence, a product manager asked in confusion, "What is the second dimension?"

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "People who like to watch cartoons and comics."

"Isn't that something for kids?" The product manager was puzzled. "How come our company has that?"

A programmer blushed, stood up from his workstation, and said with all his courage: "First of all, I'm not an 2D person."

"But as a pure passerby, I want to speak the truth and say something fair."

"Animation and comics are not only watched by children, there are also works aimed at teenagers."

"Watching anime and comics doesn't mean being childish. It's a cultural work, and people who love it have invested their emotions into it."

"When you were young, you watched a lot of animation and comics, and you liked them, but you stopped watching them when you grew up, but you still love them in your heart."

“So I think that society’s prejudice against the second dimension is wrong.”

Qin Shaoyan smiled at the programmer in front of him, nodded in agreement, and said, "I also think that society is biased against the ACG world. The ACG world exists objectively as a subculture. It is just a niche and has done nothing wrong."

The programmer was a little excited and said quickly: "Boss Qin is wise!"

Qin Shaoyan looked at the other person kindly, "What's your name?"

"My name is Yang Jie."

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "Yang Jie, there should be many people in the company who are in the second dimension like you."

"I'm not from the second dimension!" Yang Jie quickly denied.

"Well, let me ask in a different way." Qin Shaoyan smiled, "Then do you know anything about the ACG culture?"

"Uh, a little bit." Yang Jie hesitated.

"The company is planning to build a video website specifically for the ACG community. This isn't a formal project, but the company will reimburse the server-related expenses." Qin Shaoyan paused for two seconds, "Are there any of you who would like to volunteer?"

Two seconds later, all the programmers in the office raised their hands.
