Our Rise Era

Chapter 188: Poaching!

From 07 to 09.

From humble beginnings to sudden rise...

From [Xiaomi 1] to the knockoff phones that swept across China...

From numerous controversies to the whirlpool of public opinion, it was eventually forced into a corner by capital...

……

During these two years...

The word "Zhang Yang" is a hot topic in the technology circle.

Some people say he is a madman!
Some people are still scolding him, scolding him for having no bottom line, scolding him for being good for nothing except hype...

He deserves to be scolded by so many people...

but!
He never responded, not even a word.

Then, one day!
The moment when he suddenly rose up in rebellion under the watchful eyes of the public!
Everyone was shocked to realize that those bloggers on the Internet who cursed him the most and wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood...

Those forum moderators who wrote articles that always became trending searches, used words to belittle him to dust, and regarded him as a "clown" between the lines...

Even, he quarreled with haters and once defended Zhang Yang's video bloggers on the Internet...

……

Countless people who hated him, loathed him, or blindly blackened him without hesitation, or shoved him into the dust...

All!

he!
he himself!
..........................................

"That year, I was heavily in debt. In order to survive, I resorted to some tricks..."

"At first, I just wanted to get more attention for myself and let more people know about my products..."

"So, I wrote articles in various magazines and media..."

"I thought at the time, if I had one more client, that would be good for me..."

"But I didn't expect that my article would be accepted, and some of my writings on the Internet would also be recognized by some people..."

"Then, I sank into it, and gradually I couldn't extricate myself!"

"..."

【Bean paste video】.

Boss Sun Hongsheng looked at the sets of data in shock.

The number of visits to their [Dounu Video] has increased exponentially since 12 o'clock!
From two million, it surged to three million, from three million to five million, and then to eight million...

The number of users of [Douni Video] will exceed 10 million in the blink of an eye!

Ten million!

This is an unprecedented data!
This is something that [Douniu Video] has never achieved since the establishment of the website.

and……

The influx of data exceeds 10 million, you can fully understand it as the daily active volume exceeding 10 million!

Daily active volume exceeds 10 million!
What is that concept?
That is……

The pinnacle of the entire Chinese video website!
Even though this peak is only short-lived, it is still exciting!
In a trance, it was like being in a dream!
Sun Hongsheng was excited!
But at the same time, the video about Zhang Yang became a little stuck. Even though they had prepared the server in advance to deal with all problems, they still couldn't withstand the sudden influx of traffic and messages.

Zhang Yang in the video is so sincere and his expression is so serious.

Immediately afterwards...

He opened the [Wheat Mall].

He discovered one thing, that is, the number of visits to [Xiaomi Mall] was even more terrifying, it had gone from 10 million to 12 million!
If calculated as 12 million daily active users!

So!

It is also not the ceiling of [Baotao.com]!
When he looked at the purchase volume of the [Xiaomi 2] mobile phone again, he took a deep breath.

At this moment, the purchase volume of [Xiaomi 2] mobile phones has exceeded !
"We have already won the first stage!"

"But, we have only won the first stage now!"

“We can’t take it lightly!”

"Next, you should pay attention to Aiku Video. We will take advantage of this wave of popularity to recruit people!"

"Yes, we must poach people. Mr. Zhang has risen up against the capital. This is a fight to the death..."

"Throughout history, this is the most critical moment. Pull those bloggers standing next to Mr. Zhang, or those bloggers who have listened to Mr. Zhang's speech, to our camp!"

"..."

Sun Hongsheng suppressed the excitement in his heart!
At this moment, he realized one thing, that is, [big changes are about to happen], and the battle for traffic has reached a white-hot stage.

At this stage, these people cannot be complacent just sitting on the traffic. Not only can they not be complacent just sitting on the traffic, they also have to take action and do something in this feast of traffic!
....................................

Yanjing.

The sun outside is scorching.

Inside the house, online writer Deng Mingzhong received a [Xiaomi 2] mobile phone.

He looked at the recording camera. As long as he posted a video of the [Wheat 2] mobile order, took out the [Wheat 2] mold that he had prepared in advance, and made a video, he could get yuan...

However, at this moment, he seemed to be.

He glanced at the account in [Aiku Video] again.

A year ago, he, like Ding Rong, joined the "Capital Nightmare" group, but soon left and went it alone.

A year later, his fans on Aiku Video exceeded 100,000. Every time he posted a video or wrote an article, he could earn an average person's monthly salary...

Such days made him live a comfortable life...

On the eve of the press conference of [Xiaomi 2], he received a mission to blacken Zhangyang.

Before receiving the task, he was a little shocked. The reward for this task was very high, nearly 5000 RMB!

After the shock, he was a little surprised. After all, he was used to defaming Zhang Yang. If he didn't make money, he would be a bastard!
After watching the press conference, especially after seeing the number 1999, his heart, like everyone else, was filled with disgust.

This is……

It's just a marketing!

He even wrote a few articles in advance and posted them on his account, and even made a video to reveal the truth about Zhang Yang.

This video has a lot of traffic!

The attention is also very high and there are many comments.

In fact, it was this video that caused Zhang Yang to fall into a whirlpool of public opinion and be scolded severely.

however……

After seeing Zhang Yang’s sudden self-exposure video, he was stunned!

There are complex emotions, trance, and even the feeling of being deceived.

That [capital nightmare], the one who helped them earn their first living, the one who pulled him into the field of [Internet articles], and even taught him in the group how to write powerful articles and videos that discredited Zhang Yang...

It turned out to be Zhang Yang himself!
He saw this monologue, heard Zhang Yang directly say that he did it for popularity, and witnessed Zhang Yang's entrepreneurial journey...

Finally, the complex emotions turned into a sigh, "It seems that he is not so hated!"

He murmured something.

A small person, in order to get attention, does not hesitate to sell his own products at the cost of destroying his own reputation. When you really think about it, what has he done that has caused deep hatred?
Moreover, as Zhang Yang said, when he was making "copycat phones", most of them did have after-sales service, and the "Xiaomi 1" model, I have to admit, is good in terms of quality, system, and functions...

When I thought of this, I looked at the [Xiaomi 2] I had just bought. After hesitating for a moment, I finally opened my phone carefully and inserted my SIM card.

He tried it briefly and was surprised to find that the phone was incredibly smooth!
He was silent for a moment, and looked at Zhang Yang's "self-clarification" video again.

Finally gritted my teeth!
He looked at the camera recording the video and showed his face for the first time in a live broadcast.

"Today, the blogger got a [Xiaomi 2] mobile phone. As everyone knows... the blogger is a hater of Zhang Yang. I also know some skills in disassembling mobile phones..."

"This is the [Wheat 1999] that I bought for 2. I am disassembling it now to see if [Wheat 2] is what Zhang Yang said it was..."

"..."

He unpacked the phone...

I witnessed one configuration after another of [Wheat 2] with my own eyes.

When I saw all the configurations of [Wheat 2], it was just as Zhang Yang said at the press conference, without any cutting of corners.

He felt a little complicated.

It can be seen that Zhang Yang is really serious on his phone, and from the accounts and receipts that Zhang Yang posted, it can be seen that Zhang Yang is really honest and empathetic this time...

Thinking of the current situation of mobile phones in China...

I think of the high-end series of mobile phones from brands like Samsung and Novia, which are expensive and are cutting the leeks of ordinary people...

I remembered that if Zhang Yang was killed by capital this time, next time, no one would do such a "stupid thing" again...

Maybe……

Being flamboyant is all about making money!
Maybe……

But at least, he really gave us a bargain!

this moment……

He made a decision in his mind.

He faced the camera and recorded a conversation.

"In my opinion, there is really no problem with the above configuration. The quality is still the same as that of [Xiaomi 1]. Unless you drop it on the ground, this phone is still OK..."

"I can take any legal responsibility for my words!"

"Okay, now that I've finished disassembling the machine, I have one thing to say!"

"This may be my last video on Aiku Video. This video may be removed from the platform..." "But I want to clarify one thing. I did receive money before..."

"I know this is shameless, but I also know that if I don't say something at this time, there may not be another Zhang Yang in China!"

"..."

He also posted all the evidence of himself receiving money, including some chat records.

After recording, he posted this video on [Aiku Video]!

After sending it, he sat back in the chair, his eyes a little dazed. For a moment, he didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong.

Then, I watched helplessly as my account was reported and banned...

really!

He was banned?
……

Just at this time……

He received a call!
The call came from the person in charge of [Dounu Video].

The other party was very polite to him.

"Thank you for standing up at this critical moment..."

"Thank you for your dedication and for speaking out for Zhang Yang and the truth..."

"We saw that you were banned by Aiku Video, we feel very sorry for you..."

"But, I hope you don't lose heart!"

"We will provide you with a bigger platform!"

"..."

Deng Mingzhong listened to the other party's very sincere tone.

A moment later...

I looked at the banned [Aiku Video] again.

Finally nodded.

……

Business war.

Always mean.

Everywhere you look, there is brightness and beauty.

And what you can't see...

It is full of swords and sabers!
Someone was in front of the stage, stirring up a wave of public opinion!
There are also people behind the scenes who are taking advantage of this wave of public opinion to do more things.

................................................

"Why is this blogger Zhang Yang? Don't you guys check his ID card?"

“And this blogger!”

"Why is he so flamboyant? Tell me why he is so flamboyant!"

"Stop him, stop him!"

"Quickly, completely, seal it up!"

"Shut it down immediately!"

"Why else!"

"..."

【Love Cool Video】.

The sun was scorching outside the window, but Xu Mingming, the head of the marketing department of Aiku Video, was a little out of control at this moment.

Ever since Aiku Video and Zhang Yang failed to reach an agreement, and Zhang Yang turned to cooperate with Douni Video...

Zhao Mingyi, the boss of [Aiku Video], once told him one thing in private!

That is, from now on, no matter what happens, as long as there are videos about Zhang Yang or videos praising Zhang Yang, they will all be blocked!
At the same time, through investigation, they found that the account [Capital Nightmare] was very suspicious, and confirmed that it was most likely a flamboyant marketing account!
Zhang Yang was playing the so-called "black and red" game, so they completely blocked [Capital Nightmare] a long time ago...

Even, in order to trample that bastard Zhang Yang under his feet.

In fact, they started to ban Zhang Yang from all sides a long time ago, and launched a public opinion war with the help of video platforms.

The previous [Electric Vehicle Alliance] exposed bloggers who used second-hand or even discarded components in their electric vehicles...

It is from their handiwork.

They looked at the evidence that these bloggers had collected from all directions, and tried their best to discredit all of Zhang Yang's businesses...

The effect was very good. The [Electric Vehicle Alliance] formed by Zhang Yang lost all subsidies from relevant departments overnight, and at the most important moment of [home appliances going to the countryside]!
Total collapse!

This is a big win!
However, they never dreamed that Zhang Yang had more than one account!
this moment……

Just as Xu Mingming was looking at [Aiku Video] in panic!

All the navy troops they had secretly trained and hired rebelled against them overnight!
In the public opinion war of the [Electric Vehicle Alliance], the blogger who directly destroyed Zhang Yang's [Electric Vehicle Industry], who has hundreds of thousands of fans, actually released Zhang Yang's video at the same time!
this moment!
Xu Mingming's face looked ferocious!
I went crazy and asked the staff to ban this account.

however……

“Can’t seal it!”

"This time, whether it's shit or not, we will be affected!"

"..."

Just after Xu Mingming blocked several accounts, the door opened.

Boss Zhao Mingyi frowned deeply!
"boss!"

"If we don't block it, this matter will spread all over the Internet, and we..."

"Do you think if you block it, the whole internet will not ferment it? Look at what Zhang Yang is saying in the video!"

"..."

Xu Mingming stared at the video!

Immediately afterwards...

His face turned livid!
"I'm a nobody!"

"I don't have any capital behind me..."

"But, I should say that the friends behind us, including our [Xiaomi Mall]'s Mr. Yuan, Mr. Ding Ziqiang, including our Mr. Chen You who is in charge of the system, and Mr. Xu Yunlong who is in charge of the factory arrangements and communications..."

“We want to make money, we really want to make money!”

“But, we also want to do something beyond our capabilities!”

"This is to enable more people, more young people, to be able to afford the most cost-effective mobile phones..."

"Novia, Apple, and Samsung are too expensive! The cheap ones don't offer any value for money at all!"

"As for the lowest-end [copycat assembled machines], when we were in charge of [copycat phones], we could barely maintain after-sales service, but after we left, the quality of many [copycat phones] could no longer be guaranteed..."

“So, [Wheat 2] was born!”

"Mr. Yuan talked to me the day before the press conference. He said that it would be best if our mobile phones were more expensive than [Samsung]..."

"In this way, we won't be feared by capital, we won't be ruined, we won't touch the core interests of capital, and we won't be suppressed by capital!"

"But I am determined to sell it for 1999! I want to offer the best value for money! I want to be our own domestic mobile phone brand, not a "copycat" brand that has no after-sales service, no long-term cooperative manufacturers, is profit-driven, and moves to another place after a battle..."

"In fact, as you can see, we have touched upon the core interests of capital!"

"It started from video websites, to major portals, to the media, to a series of forum comment sections..."

"We were subjected to an overwhelming barrage of abuse and slander, and voices from all sides were like a tide, almost nailing [Wheat 2] to the pillar of shame!"

"Except for the fact that I can speak on [Douni Video] and not be blocked, I am like a mute. I can only transmit content by cursing my own account. As for other accounts, as long as they say something good about me..."

“Everyone is banned!”

"This is the list of my accounts that have been banned on various video platforms..."

"I, should I say we, we have reached a dead end!"

"I have no one to rely on. I can only rely on the market and my friends who are willing to believe in me and walk with me!"

"..."

Xu Mingming saw Zhang Yang in the video...

Showing off each account!

These accounts...

Most of them come from their [Aiku Video].

All that’s left is to tell everyone by name…

That is……

They have joined forces with capital to suppress Zhang Yang!
Seeing this scene...

Xu Mingming's face became more and more ugly!
Banning these videos now clearly confirms these things!

However, if it is not banned, the overwhelming public opinion will hype up the flamboyant [Xiaomi 2]...

Let this "little man" who rose up in rebellion completely occupy the window of this public opinion storm!
Just as Xu Mingming took a deep breath and was thinking of a solution...

He suddenly received a call!
The secretary came in hurriedly.

"[Dou Ni Video] Many staff members are poaching our bloggers at this time!"

"what!"
