I suggest you investigate; this person doesn't seem to be a first-time reborn individual.

Following Lin Ran's instructions, everyone clicked on the Golden Cauldron registration link and experienced it for themselves.

A few minutes later, a chorus of smacking sounds filled the office.

"Boss," Ye Li spoke first, her expression a little strange, "the process... is almost exactly the same as ours, the form filling and personality test are almost identical."

"But there are also some differences." Tang Chen adjusted his glasses and pointed to the screen. "After a successful match, a dialog box will pop up: 'Congratulations! Your matched QQ number is: 12345****. Please add them as a friend and begin your journey of destiny.'"

Lin Ran remained silent until he walked to the whiteboard, picked up a marker, and drew a flowchart of the Golden Tripod event.

Open the link → MBTI Personality Test → Get the QQ number of your match → Chat with your partner → Attend the mall meet-and-greet.

He turned to look at everyone: "Have you figured out the problem?"

The people in the office looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Is there... a problem?" Ye Li asked cautiously. "Doesn't everyone use QQ?"

"Boss, I know!" Zhuge Zhuangshi raised his hand.

Lin Ran gestured for him to continue.

"They're so sloppy. They just took the QQ number and then ignored us. There was no follow-up guidance at all. We're just waiting for the final meeting."

"That's well said, but it doesn't quite hit the nail on the head." Lin Ran tapped the whiteboard. "I'm asking you, once a user adds you on QQ, what relationship do they still have with Jin Ding?"

His gaze swept over the crowd.

"We added each other as friends, but the conversation didn't go well, so we deleted and blocked each other. Jin Ding didn't know."

"They added each other as friends, chatted enthusiastically, and even arranged to meet privately, without Jin Ding knowing."

"Even if someone randomly fills in a QQ number, or doesn't add the number at all, Jin Ding still won't know."

"In general, once users exchange contact information, Jin Ding's one-time matchmaking role is over. All subsequent interactions are unrelated to Jin Ding, and it is difficult to attract these people to attend their meet-and-greet."

Xia Chan slammed her hand on the table, startling everyone: "I get it, boss! They're like a broker who doesn't charge a commission!"

Lin Ran looked at Xia Chan with some surprise, not expecting her to be the first to figure it out.

"That's right, Jin Ding wants to copy us. The biggest problem is that they don't have their own chat tool and can't be anonymous like us. They can only exchange QQ numbers. So Jin Ding has no idea what users are talking about or how things are progressing."

Ye Li blinked: "But boss, they also have a meet-and-greet?"

"A meet-up? Let's not talk about things that went wrong. Two people who have already established a relationship on QQ, can't they just meet up directly? Why do they have to go to some kind of meet-up at Jin Ding?"

Tang Chen knows this best: Momo does not allow users to expose each other's information during activities, and this feature was designed by him.

However, he also had a problem: "But they have the users' phone numbers; they could send text messages to notify them of the meet-and-greet..."

"Send a text message?" Lin Ran scoffed. "When you receive a promotional text message from the mall, do you open it or just delete it?"

"Uh..." Tang Chen fell silent.

At this moment, Wu Chenhao from the technical team, holding his laptop, raised his hand and announced, "Boss, we've made a new discovery! Jin Ding not only lost offline, but also posted about it on the forum."

He turned his laptop toward everyone, and they gathered around. They discovered that Jin Ding had posted on the campus forums of both the Polytechnic University and the Finance and Economics University, and the posts were very popular, indicating that he had provided considerable sponsorship to the forums.

"What do we do, boss? Isn't this blatantly stealing our traffic?"

"Yeah, their posts are almost more popular than ours!"

"And they also have prizes for their activities, and many students were asking if the prizes were real."

Lin Ran touched his chin and clicked his tongue. He didn't want to use such dirty methods, but Jin Ding had really gone too far. Plagiarism was one thing, but to blatantly provoke them like this was really unacceptable.

He wrote the registration link for Jinding on the whiteboard: jindinglove.com, and stared at the URL for a long time.

"Tang Chen, copy their registration page exactly."

"Huh?" Tang Chen was taken aback. "Boss, we have our own app and website. Why are you copying this? Besides, theirs is so low-quality..."

"Who said I was going to copy them?" Lin Ran blinked. "What we're going to create is a more user-friendly, more professional, and more user-friendly event registration page."

He then added a new URL below Jinding's original URL: jindingIove.com

He pointed to two website addresses side by side with the tip of his pen: "Everyone, take a look, what's the difference between these two domain names?"

Xia Chan, who was closest, leaned in and examined it closely for a long time, then hesitated, "It seems to be the same..."

"Look closely." Lin Ran pointed to the two website addresses with the tip of his pen. "Jin Ding's website address is love, and mine is Iove. I changed the lowercase 'L' in the middle to an uppercase 'i'. In most fonts, the two letters look exactly the same."

A collective gasp filled the office.

"Boss, how did you come up with this idea? It's incredibly meticulous."

"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

He had fallen for this trick several times before, so naturally he wouldn't tell them.

Zhuge Zhuangshi: "Boss, this is entrapment!"

"Wrong," Lin Ran pointed at Zhuge Zhuangshi's nose. "I'm helping users avoid an event that's destined to have a terrible experience and bringing them to a platform that's truly dedicated to social interaction."

"Alright, let's assign tasks." He walked to the whiteboard and quickly assigned tasks.

"Tang Chen, you're in charge of registering the domain name and copying their registration page, but add a link to Momo's download page to the submit button at the end. It needs to go live tonight."

"Ye Li, you are responsible for posting on various campus forums to help promote Jin Ding, not only on the forums of the University of Science and Technology and the University of Finance and Economics, but also on the forums of other universities."

Ye Li was stunned: "Huh? We're helping Jin Ding promote itself?"

"Yes, remember, the words 'Jin Ding' must never appear in the main text of the post. Only vaguely mention a certain shopping mall. Most importantly, replace the registration link with ours."

Ye Li finally realized what was happening, her eyes widening: "Boss, are you trying to intercept traffic...? You're getting users to register through our fake links, and then diverting all the traffic to us?"

Lin Ran chuckled: "Smart. Besides, given Jin Ding Wang Jiao Nu's ambitious and boastful nature, what will they do when they find that so many 'spontaneous' promotional posts have suddenly appeared on the forum they haven't invested in, and that the posts are so popular?"

Tang Chen adjusted his glasses and continued, "They'll think it's because their event is so popular, and might even... increase their investment to help us generate even more buzz?"

"That's right." Lin Ran nodded. "They want face and data, so we'll create face and data for them."

"By the way, remember to inflate Jin Ding's data these next couple of days to create a false impression of prosperity for them."

At this moment, Sima Zhongyi, who had been silent until now, spoke up.

"Boss, I think we can go beyond university forums and post more on other forums. That would be a good way to drive traffic to Momo, since they'll be investing money anyway."

Upon hearing this, everyone shuddered.

That damn scoundrel Sima is even more ruthless than the dog boss!
