'Reward Three: In view of the customer satisfaction exceeding 97.14%, the host will receive an additional % cashback of [Reward One];'
'The final host obtains: 4006 Xia Guoyuan!'
……
An Wuyang finished looking at the reward statistics for the random event [Double Eleven is coming!], all of which were cashback rewards, totaling more than 40 million Xia Guoyuan.
So this time it’s another win-win cooperation?
Those lucky netizens who got a chance to grab this batch of Double Eleven promotional products from the Wugengtian online mall must have made a lot of money!
Taking the Snow Essence Cream as an example, those stupid netizens only bought it for 3688 yuan, but the Snow Essence Cream can be sold for 8888 yuan on the Internet.
If you are not in a hurry, ten thousand yuan is not a big problem.
As for the bitter orange scented candle, doesn’t that make more money?
After all, there is the Hermès customized bitter orange scented candle which is priced at 16 yuan. Those stupid netizens who bought the Wugengtian bitter orange scented candle at 8888 yuan can easily increase the price by tens of thousands, right?
An Wuyang sold this batch of goods through the Wugengtian online mall, and he received an additional cashback reward of more than 40 million, which was also a great win!
Considering that he had won a cash back reward of over 40 million, An Wuyang also felt that the fat-reducing meal on the table was delicious.
An Wuyang and the two dancers finished their fat-reducing meal, and Lu Manman asked a question.
"Brother Wuyang, I found that people on the Internet are scolding you, Wugengtian, again. I looked at the cause and effect of the matter. They just failed to grab the Double Eleven promotional products from you, Wugengtian. Can they scold you for this?" Lu Manman asked.
"Why can't I curse?" An Wuyang responded.
"If you grab the Snow Cream, you can at least make 5,000 yuan; if you grab the Bitter Orange Scented Candle, it is not impossible to make 50,000 yuan directly." An Wuyang added.
"It's normal for some people to curse on the Internet because they didn't get such an advantage," An Wuyang joked.
There are too many stupid netizens on the Internet!
Quite a number of stupid netizens have no sense of right and wrong.
In fact, most people's sense of right and wrong in life fluctuates with their own stance.
Otherwise, how could one come up with such a classic statement as 'putting facts aside'?
Lu Manman sighed and said, "Are these people really unreasonable?"
"Why should we talk about reason?" An Wuyang also sighed.
"This is the environment of the Internet," An Wuyang added.
Xia Yuqing continued, "Then why doesn't anyone clean up the Internet environment?"
An Wuyang hesitated slightly. Can this question be discussed?
"In fact, the Internet environment was not like this at the beginning," An Wuyang explained.
"In the beginning, because computers were expensive, the Internet was not widely used, and most of the people surfing the Internet at that time were highly educated people," An Wuyang explained.
"For example, the former [Tianbian Forum] brought together a lot of great talents, and some of the topics discussed there were very thought-provoking," An Wuyang added.
"There are also some classic philosophical quotes that are equally thought-provoking," An Wuyang continued.
"For example: 'When people are sick, they take medicine. Why does the world have to eat people when it is sick?'" An Wuyang listed the examples seemingly at random.
Xia Yuqing and Lu Manman looked thoughtful.
"Another example: 'As the saying goes: You are what you eat, so you can't become a superior person by enduring hardships, but you can by eating people!'" An Wuyang thought this was a really good saying!
There is a famous saying in Xia State: "Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best."
But the reality is: 'There is more suffering than suffering! '
That's why An Wuyang likes that thought-provoking philosophical saying very much.
"Then why did the Internet environment become increasingly worse?" Lu Manman asked.
An Wuyang responded, "There are mainly two reasons."
"On the surface, the corresponding reason should be that the Internet is becoming more and more popular, especially after the popularization of mobile Internet, the Internet environment has deteriorated sharply," An Wuyang explained.
"For example, according to the data released in June this year, the number of Internet users in our Xia country has exceeded one billion!" An Wuyang explained by citing the data.
"In addition, data from the seventh national census released in May this year showed that the number of people in our country who have received college education or above is only over 200 million, accounting for about 15% of the total population and about 20% of the number of Internet users." An Wuyang continued to cite the data.
"We now assume that the quality of all people who have received college education or above is very high, then what about the other 800 million netizens?" An Wuyang asked.
"Besides, we are college students ourselves. How can we not know the quality of college students today?" An Wuyang joked.
There is never a strong correlation between academic qualifications and character!
Are there no scumbags in top universities?
There are poisoning and murder cases in top universities!
"With so many people gathered in the same cyberspace, and the Internet's natural anonymity amplifying people's evil intentions, the Internet environment is naturally getting worse and worse," An Wuyang concluded.
Then An Wuyang added, "Of course, these are just superficial reasons."
"Whether it is the popularization of the Internet, the convenience of Internet devices, or the large number of people and anonymity, these are actually superficial reasons." An Wuyang classified all these reasons as superficial reasons.
Xia Yuqing continued, "What is the underlying reason?"
An Wuyang was considering whether to speak out the deeper reasons, because it might be inappropriate to speak out. "The world we see is the world we hope to see and the world we believe in." An Wuyang first said a summary.
Xia Yuqing and Lu Manman both looked puzzled.
"We simply extract some of the Internet development process for analysis." An Wuyang continued to explain in detail.
"The original Internet was a gathering of highly educated people. After these people communicated with each other, certain information became clearer and clearer. If this information were made public, it would not be a good thing," An Wuyang said rather vaguely.
"In order to prevent such bad things from happening, and with the popularization of the Internet, major Internet companies seem to have reached an agreement and have collectively lowered the entry threshold for information sources," An Wuyang added.
"For example, public accounts, Baijia accounts, or big V accounts, etc., these things have lowered the entry threshold for information sources, which means that anyone can participate and become an information source." An Wuyang said in more detail.
"So the Internet has entered the era of self-media where everyone can become a source of information. In this era, a large amount of news that is difficult to distinguish between true and false has been generated on the Internet." An Wuyang explained.
Lu Manman continued, "But this is not good, right?"
"I now feel that the information on the Internet is messy, and it is difficult to find useful information," Lu Manman added.
An Wuyang smiled and replied, "Is there a possibility that this is the effect you want?"
"All kinds of messy information are mixed together, true and false information are also mixed together. If you want to obtain valuable information, both the time cost and the energy cost will increase, won't it?" An Wuyang joked.
Lu Manman frowned slightly.
Xia Yuqing was also thinking secretly.
"When the Internet reached this stage, a new routine emerged, that is, information classification. You will be shown the information you like to see." An Wuyang continued to analyze.
"Just like the early days of Weibo, if you like to read entertainment gossip, then we will push entertainment gossip to you." An Wuyang used Weibo as an example.
"For example, taking short videos nowadays, if you like watching pets, then pets will be pushed to you; if you like watching dancing, then dancing will be pushed to you; no matter what you like, the platform will push it to you." An Wuyang continued to use the current short video platform as an example.
"Through this so-called 'personalized recommendation', users can spend more time immersed in a single content, which is equivalent to letting them immerse themselves in their own world." An Wuyang gradually deepened the topic.
"Users with a single information channel are often more easily deceived by a single information source and thus easier to control." An Wuyang explained the role of these operations.
Xia Yuqing hesitated, "But are these users all fools? Can't they communicate with others? As long as they communicate enough, they will be able to tell these lies, right?"
An Wuyang denied it with a smile, "Baby, you underestimate the effect of these routines!"
"These routines are not afraid of communication between users at all. They even encourage users to communicate and share with each other. After all, in the process of communicating and sharing with each other, they will attract more 'like-minded' users." An Wuyang added.
"Once these 'like-minded' users gather together, they will feel more strongly that their views are correct, which is equivalent to being guided to shape their values and morals." An Wuyang sighed.
There are too many brainless netizens on the Internet, and they are actually shaped like this!
Xia Yuqing still expressed her incomprehension, "The Internet is so big, there are always smart and sober people, can't these people remind others?"
"Hahahaha!" An Wuyang laughed out loud.
Xia Yuqing was a little confused, "Brother Wuyang, what are you laughing at?"
"Your question actually goes back to the original question, why is Wugengtian always scolded?" An Wuyang asked.
"Let's now assume that according to your idea, even if there are sober and smart people who remind those users of a single information source, the result can only be quarreling with each other." An Wuyang explained.
"How can it be so easy to reach a consensus on a dispute of ideas?" An Wuyang sighed.
"Once the scope of the dispute between the two parties becomes larger and larger, and the person behind the scenes gives it a secret push, the conflict will escalate into confrontation!" An Wuyang nodded again.
"Once opposition is formed, won't it be impossible to unite and even less to form a climate?" An Wuyang only said half of the sentence.
An Wuyang looked at Xia Yuqing, then at Lu Manman.
"Do you have any doubts about this?" An Wuyang asked.
Xia Yuqing responded affirmatively, "Yes."
Lu Manman also nodded affirmatively.
After all, these were all said by An Wuyang himself, and seemed to lack persuasiveness.
For example, why does An Wuyang feel that smart and sober people are unable to remind others?
An Wuyang laughed again.
"Actually, everything I said was said with the answer in mind!" An Wuyang sighed.
"Look at the biggest conflicting issues on the Internet right now. Why is no one taking care of it?" An Wuyang reminded.
"Didn't I just make the answer to this question clear?" An Wuyang reminded again.
"The imagined Internet can bring endless knowledge to enlighten the whole nation, and everyone can obtain the knowledge they want," An Wuyang explained.
"But the actual Internet is layer upon layer of information filters, coupled with one information cocoon after another, which limits users to the world they want to see and the world they believe in." An Wuyang concluded.
"So why do people always curse Wugengtian?" An Wuyang asked.
Lu Manman nodded suddenly, she kind of understood what An Wuyang meant!
Xia Yuqing still frowned, "But is this the case? Could it be..."
An Wuyang interrupted Xia Yuqing, "I know what you want to say, but you can't say it. There are some things that can't be said."
"When people are sick, they need to take medicine. When the world is sick, it needs to eat people!"
"You can't become a superior person by enduring hardships, but you can become a superior person by eating people!"
An Wuyang repeated the two philosophical sayings again.
An Wuyang had given the answer from the very beginning, but he only said as much as he could within the scope of what he could say.
"We, Wugengtian, were scolded on Double Eleven. This is neither the beginning nor the end. Wugengtian will continue to be scolded in the future, and I will also be scolded. These are the different opinions of different users in different information cocoons." An Wuyang sighed softly.
This is also the reason why Wugengtian is always aloof on the Internet.
With over one billion Internet users, Wugengtian cannot satisfy everyone.
After all, Wugengtian is just a pharmaceutical company that tends to be nature's porter, not some kind of red-ticket item that everyone likes.
Lu Manman nodded in understanding, "I see. Then I won't argue with those people. It seems that arguing is useless, right?"
"Of course it's useless!" An Wuyang answered affirmatively.
This silly deer is so naive, isn't he?
