Chapter 372 The pot is on you!
Su Huai sold his share of Doupo the next day.

When Gu Tonglin came to his house happily, Su Huai was very friendly and "only" asked for a premium of 2.5 times.

"After all, I have to call you uncle. Our two families are closely connected. I just want to make a little profit. From now on, whatever you do is up to you."

"Good good!"

Gu Tonglin's face was beaming with joy, he felt that this boy was very sensible and capable.

"Since you have this friendship, I, as your uncle, promise not to treat you unfairly! How much did you spend when you bought the shares? 2.5 times, I will transfer the money immediately!"

"Only 2000 million in cash."

Su Huai did not cheat him and told him the actual amount openly.

Gu Tonglin's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he said with a smile: "Okay, that's 5000 million. After we sign the contract, I will arrange the financial transfer immediately."

"Ah."

Su Huai nodded, without discussing the mere 5000 million yuan in depth, and instead invited him to have tea.

As a result, after drinking for a long time and just filling up with water, Su Huai still didn't say anything further, and Gu Tonglin was getting a little impatient.

"Xiao Su...your share is 20%, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Su Huai looked up, his face blank.

Gu Tonglin had to make it clear: "You have taken so many shares, don't you have any other conditions?"

"Oh!" Su Huai clapped his hands, suddenly realizing, "There is indeed a little publicity requirement. Why can't you handle this?"

"We have different ways of doing things. We in the financial circle are not very good at this..."

Gu Tonglin laughed dryly twice, thinking to himself: If I could handle it, wouldn't people just come to me for cooperation?

"Hey, isn't that easy?"

Su Huai waved his hand and replied generously: "I will introduce the person in charge of the publicity studio to you at that time. You can talk to them yourself about how much water you want to buy. I will not interfere in the middle, okay?"

"what?!"

Gu Tonglin really didn't expect that he would get such an unexpected gain just by hunting rabbits.

There was a flash of ecstasy in his eyes, but on the surface he pretended to be embarrassed: "Isn't that a fan of your Xingyu guild? Would it be inappropriate for me to contact him?"

Su Huai smiled gently and explained patiently: "The so-called Xingyu Guild fans is a very generalized concept. In fact, there are two groups of people.

One group is a group of people who just want to have fun, with some big brother players as the core. They bring their own food and join in the fun everywhere.

We, Xingyu, cannot tell them what to do or not to do. They spend their own money and time just to have fun.

We have no binding force on these people.

The other group is a semi-professional navy that combines the identities of players and part-time workers. The core personnel are studios, and the non-core personnel are players in normal times and navy in wartime.

Their organizers don’t do live broadcasts, but out of respect for us Xingyu, they are willing to help us support the scene.

I asked you to contact this group of water army, they are very professional in their work. "

"Oh!"

Gu Tonglin finally understood, but he still didn't understand one thing: "Since it's a professional job, why don't you take other people's work?"

"Who told you they don't take orders from outside?"

Su Huai laughed and asked, "Who said that? Is it possible that they are too busy and don't want to get involved in certain things, so they stay away from some companies?"

"It's a friend from Yida. He mentioned it to me. No wonder..."

Gu Tonglin gave a vague explanation and then immediately changed the subject.

"So what is the charging standard for such a professional team?"

"It depends on your needs."

Su Huai patiently explained: "They don't accept orders from outside that cost 5 cents each. The starting price is 1.5 yuan per comment. They guarantee real-person operations, and the accounts they use are all old accounts.

The higher level is 5 yuan per post, and the speech can basically reach the level of a normal fan, which can simulate the idol fan, with 9% simulation.

The highest level is customized speech. To put it simply, it simulates a passerby and gives long and well-reasoned speeches, carrying out difficult whitewashing or smearing tasks.

At the same time, you can also provide clear directions and even copywriting templates as needed, and the other party will ensure that they will digest the directions and then actually start working on the content.

I don’t know exactly how much this piece costs. We at Xingyu have never bought any. Our reputation is mainly maintained by guild fans.”

"I see!"

Gu Tonglin was amazed and filled with emotion after hearing what he heard.

"No wonder Xingyu can be the best in the industry. In addition to the core fans, you also have such a big boss of the navy to protect you..."

"It's not to the extent of providing escort."

Su Huai smiled and waved his hands, very modestly.

“In fact, the most important thing is our own core fans. Those water armies don’t have any feelings. They are only after profit.

It’s just that our fans are too powerful, so they don’t bother to go against us. If they really fight, both sides will suffer, so they just give each other face.

Uncle Tong Lin, when you cooperate with them, you must carefully confirm all the details. Although they have a strong professional ethics, there may be problems if they don't explain things clearly. Don't let them suffer a loss later, it will be bad. "

"Okay, okay!" Gu Tonglin's face was full of red. "Thank you for your reminder, Xiao Su. I would have saved myself from that. I'm grateful for your kindness!"

"Then it will be a pleasure to cooperate."

Gu Tonglin was very efficient. He signed the transfer contract in the afternoon and transferred 5000 million the next day.

What is particularly thought-provoking is that the producers Yida Films and New Classics Media had an extremely ambiguous attitude and did not mention the matter at all, nor did they ask a single question.

"This is wrong!"

Lao Zhang became highly alert and began to become suspicious.

Su Huai smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. Now they are all family members, so they can have more fun."

"Well, they are so cruel..." Lao Zhang sighed, "Battle Through the Heavens is the number one IP for male viewers, tsk tsk..."

"It's not very valuable." Su Huai shook his head. "It's very difficult to make a TV version of Doupo. The difficulty of adapting an upgrade story is far greater than that of a story like Joy of Life. It's just a name, so it's better to use it to make money."

Lao Zhang smacked his lips. "That's right. The plot is too weak and the special effects required are too high. It's too tasteless."

There is a reason why these people picked "Fighting with Dragon Saber". It has the greatest fame but the lowest value. If they really put their heart into filming it, the risk will be extremely high, so they might as well use it to enrich themselves.

The same goes for Chen Dong's big IPs, such as Tomb of the Gods. Once they are launched, 90% of them are aimed at making money.

It is impossible for the producers and producers to lose money. 6% of the so-called 8 million to 80 million costs are financial funds, which are sold to the outside sinking market by people like Gu Tonglin.

The director and producer actually spent 2 million to make the film, and quietly made 1 million in the middle.

The remaining hundreds of millions are shared among the major producers, and the films eventually sell poorly online, causing huge losses to the small and medium-sized investors who trusted in the film's name, while people in the circle count their money happily.

They are good at playing dirty, and are leaders in both the financial and entertainment circles, not to mention working together to set up schemes.

But they shouldn't include Su Huai in their calculations.

I'm a bit confused.

The next day, Mr. Jiang from Yida Film and Television called Su Huai and implicitly invited him out for a gathering. After Su Huai refused, he asked him if he wanted to contribute to Yida's film project next year.

"What specific project is it?"

Su Huai was quite alert, but President Jiang opened his mouth and said, "How about Detective Chinatown 2, President Su? Is my sincerity enough, Mr. Jiang?"

Su Huai smiled immediately.

"Enough, more than enough, Mr. Jiang, you, you, you..."

Look at him, how good he is at being a human being?
Although Xing Yu has already earned enough money from the premium of Fights Break Sphere, he is still afraid that Su Huai will not be satisfied. In order to establish a good relationship with him, he even shares the popular sequel of Detective Chinatown with him, focusing on the idea of making sincere friends.

However, this also made Su Huai more certain that Lao Jiang would not be able to work at Yida Film and Television for long. In essence, he was abusing the company's resources for personal gain.

Unfortunately, Su Huai was not interested.

"I won't get involved in the project, but I appreciate your kindness. Mr. Jiang, we may have the chance to work together again."

"Well, let's do something together if we have a chance."

Very good, Yida has no intention of cheating me.

Su Huai confirmed this and then tried New Classics Media through Penguin Video. Their attitude was not to have close relations with Xing Yu but also not to offend him, so he eliminated another rival.

Then only Gu Tonglin is left. What on earth is he trying to do?

The murderous intention is hidden deep underwater, and the situation has been calm.

As the end of the year approached, Su Huai finally found out. Gu Tonglin began to quietly contact the wealthy players of Xingyu.

He did not seek out the core members of the consortium to promote the game, but instead found those marginal players and sold them shares of Doupo under the banner of Xingyu Investment's first big IP.

"Fuck! You're so talented!"

Su Huai looked at the information and felt a little amazed.

Gu Tonglin is really creative and his user portrait is so accurate.

The so-called "marginal players" generally have the following characteristics:

He has not been engaged in live streaming for long and has no close connection with the Xingyu Financial Group. He has a little money and inflates the number of views by 20 to 100. He has investment habits but no investment channels, and his investment is almost never in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou or Shenzhen.

It seems that Gu Tonglin has some means to determine the stock accounts and bank deposits of this group of people, and can even accurately lock the platform ID and registered mobile phone.

"What a bunch of traitorous bastards!"

Su Huai was so angry that he laughed. The hardest hit areas for ID leakage were Panda, Douyu, and YY. Kuaishou and Huya were relatively better, and the rest of the platforms such as Liujianfang were in between.

Pandas are Xingyu’s own territory!
If you say you want to steal, it will be stolen.

There is no doubt that the senior executives of the operations department must have leaked the player data, and then Gu Tonglin screened out the targets from it.

There are several benefits to doing this.

The first is to use Xingyu to enhance the credibility of his own behavior, making it easier to sell investment shares.

The second is precision marketing, which saves costs and increases concealment.

The third is that he can easily extricate himself when he suffers a huge loss in the end and leave the blame to Xing Yu.

If the opponent's marketing had not happened to find Su Huai's small account and sold the share to the legion commander, Su Huai might not have noticed the opponent's actions until Fights Against the Origin was launched.

"Okay, okay, let's play like this, right?"

Su Huai immediately ordered the legion commander: "Check quietly to see who bought the Doupo share."

The tireless and highly intelligent internet army quickly obtained the information of three real people. They didn't buy much, just 100 million each, a standard amount.

There are three people, one is from Hefei, one is from the Northeast, and one is from northern Jiangsu.

Su Huai logged into his Tugou account, which he hadn’t logged into for a long time, and had a private chat with the Northeastern player on the Panda platform.

"I'm a local dog, and I need to consult you about something."

The guy was flattered and sent me his cell phone number immediately.

Su Huai called using his number 15800888888 and asked about the investment situation.

The elder brother was quite alert and reacted immediately: "God of Dogs, is there something wrong with this product?"

Su Huai said bluntly: "The premium is too high. It's obvious that they want to drag you down with them. Tell me about their specific situation."

The elder brother talked a lot and after a while, Su Huai finally understood Gu Tonglin's entire logic.

It’s a one-time pig-killing scam, with no follow-up, and they just take whatever they can to cheat you.

So Gu Tonglin even used Xingyu's outdated information in the project filing to fool this group of leeks.

This guy lost a lot of money in the stock market and had less than 100 million in cash, so he borrowed 50 yuan from outside and waited with great anticipation for the big IP of Fights Break Sphere to make a fortune.

In his words: I can't trust outsiders, but can I trust Xing Yu and Gou Shen?

Su Huai gritted his teeth and smiled: "You believed it wrongly. We Xingyu have already withdrawn from the project, but don't worry, I will settle this matter for you. The question is, do you dare to step forward?"

I don't know what this guy knocked over, but he stood up with a thump.

"Don't worry, Dog God. I don't have any other abilities, I'm just hot-blooded! Just give the order and we'll do whatever you want!"

"I'll have someone contact you, wait for the letter."

Of course, you can't show up yourself when someone is doing something shady.

Su Huai immediately called An Beibei over - she was the chief instructor of the Xingyu Anchor Training Camp, a retired super gold digger, but her most important identity was... Gu Tongshu's person.

Su Huai wants to use Gu Tongshu's people.

"Go and collect all the information about Doupo, including the actual filming cost, the price quote for post-production special effects, the use of funds, etc. Once you have a complete chain of evidence, go to the Northeast to find this person. Be careful to hide your identity."

An Beibei quickly understood what Su Huai was trying to do and asked questions that went straight to the point.

"And then? Should I support him in taking legal action, or should I..."

"Two-pronged approach, make a big fuss."

Su Huai smiled lightly, and a chill blew out from between his teeth: "Since you don't want to have fun, then no one should play. Smash their pots for me!"

"Okay, I see."

An Beibei is extremely efficient. Just after the middle of December, Lao Dongbei contacted several players and filed a lawsuit against the Doupo production crew.

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with the crew. It was Gu Tonglin's financial company that split the shares into products and sold them.

But, the Fights Break Sphere crew has traffic, so you know.

As soon as Gou Huai made this dirty trick, it caused a stir in all directions, and marketing accounts rushed over frantically - let's eat, let's have buffet today!
Director Yu and others were overwhelmed, and celebrities such as Wu Lei, Li Qin, and Xin Zhilei were also frequently on the hot searches, and the matter became more and more serious.

During this process, Su Huai was certainly not idle either.

Legion, attack!
The smart internet trolls madly focused their fire on everyone in the video, dragging down actors, directors, producers and even the Internet users, and created a lot of hype.

the other side……

"Mr. Gu, the evidence on the table is very unfavorable to you. I can take your anti-black order, but I'm afraid I have to increase the budget."

Gu Tonglin, with disheveled hair, yelled into the phone: "I have plenty of money! You guys hurry up and work, and suppress those haters!"

"OK, we'll start work as soon as the money arrives."

Su Huai watched Gu Tonglin transfer 2000 million yuan into the overseas account of the legion commander, and burst into laughter. He ordered the legion to allocate more than half of its manpower to fight against the black army frantically.

How damaging?
Beating myself, making my face bruised and swollen...

Su Huai really put in a lot of effort and asked the party that collected the money to criticize hard. Every day, he could criticize a bunch of "black fans" to the point of quitting the Internet, canceling their accounts, and even being banned by the platform.

At night, a long list of achievements, both in text and with screenshots, was submitted to Gu Tonglin.

"Fuck!"

Gu Tonglin was stunned when he saw such a large document.

"It's true that everyone has their own expertise... these water army are really vicious! Hahahaha, my money was not wasted!"

Of course, he did not forget to spend money to reduce the popularity of Weibo. Basic common sense: anti-black cannot solve the fundamental problem. Muddy waters and then reduce the popularity is the real solution.

At the same time, the penguins also took action.

Fights Break Sphere was their first drama of the year. Although it was a half-finished product that was visibly garbage, they still had to defend it. So, while mobilizing media resources to clarify the matter, they also approached Su Huai...

"Boss Su, can you help me?"

Gou Huai suppressed his laughter and said in a surprised voice: "With your media resources, is there anything Xing Yu can do to help?"

"It's like this, there are a few marketing accounts that seem to have a good relationship with you, can you help to suppress the hype?"

Hey, don’t look down on these big Internet companies. They do have strong control over the Internet.

Su Huai agreed immediately: "OK, let's do some public relations for the partner, and I'll pay for it."

"Thank you very much, but you can't pay for it in vain. So, we will give you some more editing resources from 101."

Smart people will not transfer money directly to each other.

Look how good things are now. Once everyone’s resources are exchanged, new value is generated, right?

So Gou Huai happily "publicized" several marketing accounts, two of which were outsiders with whom he had a relationship, and the other three were simply the small accounts of the legion commanders, another game of self-production and self-sales.

After finishing this work, Su Huai poured a cup of 82 jasmine honey tea and began to watch the show leisurely.

Watching things get bigger and bigger.

********
I have been watching Fu Peng and Gao Shanwen's speeches these two days. It feels like I am dreaming back to the real life. It is very interesting.

I seem to have said that there is no right or wrong in the theories of economists and financial economists, only positions, because using paradigms to interpret problems one-sidedly is a necessary skill for all colleagues.

The past few days have fully verified this point of view.

Just watch it for fun, don't get dragged into it.
