Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 526 The Power of China's Strongest Navy
Less than an hour after Cheng Yi posted his message, those presumptuous guys who had previously greeted him immediately came up to him.

It was another round of hearty and refreshing greetings.

Cheng Yi couldn't understand Thai either, but judging from the punctuation, there were quite a few modal particles.

If you don't understand it, then it's the same as not being scolded at all.

Cheng Yi took a sip of tea and felt it was very refreshing.

The overseas version is still more fun.

There are not many concerns, nor is there a need to consider harmonious values.

It suits him perfectly.

Absolutely fertile soil.

Cheng Yi turned on the VPN and logged into the Asia server test area of ​​Honghuang Zhanji.

The world chat in the game was just as lively as his social media accounts.

People from more than a dozen countries were speaking their own languages, constantly flooding the world channel.

However, this kind of behavior is really a bit self-indulgent.

When you insult someone, but use language that they can't understand, isn't that just a way to create atmosphere?

Look at that guy on the world channel called Red-Big Hammer Bro, he's really smart.

They used broken English to curse.

There are always a few characters that can be accurately transmitted to the target person's eyes.

For example, Suck my dick.

Cheng Yi is very glad he chose the right person this time.

Chen Zhi is indeed very suitable for overseas business expansion.

Furthermore, with their Tianqin Group's casinos spread throughout Southeast Asia, Chen Zhi wields absolute influence in the region.

Most importantly, Chen Zhi not only paid for the publicity and operation himself, but also only wanted a 30% share.

For example, in the case of overseas distribution of online games, the distributor usually receives 70%.

For example, the legend.

Since Cheng Yi dared to say 30% split, he naturally wouldn't let Chen Zhi have any complaints.

He was confident that he could make Chen Zhi a fortune.

The next day, perhaps because Cheng Yi did not reply to the greetings on social media, some angry Thai players also started posting in English, cursing the Vietnamese players.

Vietnamese players were immediately enraged and sent several English-speaking representatives to launch a counterattack on Friendster.

Seeing the two sides start arguing, Cheng Yi didn't dare to sit idly by and immediately brought out Cao Zhengze, the head of the online army.

Cao Zhengze is now the vice president and head of the content review department of Xiaonei.com, which means he has a lot of power and controls thousands of high-quality online trolls.

Upon receiving Cheng Yi's order, Cao Zheng took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, which were red from staying up late playing games for the past few days.

He's been living too comfortably lately and has almost lost his bearings.

This time, the boss personally called him out, using his specialty of guiding public opinion, so of course he had to perform well.

He spent three whole days reading through every single post on Friendster about the overseas version of the game.

It resembles an ancient tomb or cave where multiple countries were engaged in a chaotic conflict.

What about a Korean oppa beating up a Japanese girl?

What Vietnamese online trolls are saying that Thailand is too weak?

He carefully reviewed and meticulously organized each post, optimizing and refining them one by one.

Feeling that he had a good grasp of the situation, he then assembled his most elite content operations team.

The core group consists of only a dozen or so people, but each of them commands hundreds of active and high-quality online trolls.

These online trolls control numerous accounts spread across various websites.

"Brothers, we've got a big job!" Cao Zhengze slapped the table, his voice not loud but full of power, and laughed, "This time our target is the overseas Friendster forum. Here are the documents I've compiled, take a look carefully first."

Cao Zheng then sent the printed document to more than a dozen people.

After these people had roughly read through the documents, Cao Zhengze said, "Our mission this time is to stir up trouble, ignite the flames, and make players from all countries feel that the other side deserves a beating and that they are all awesome! Remember, we are enthusiastic players, chivalrous heroes who stand up for justice, and pitiful victims who have been bullied. First, get into the right mindset and get into the right rhythm. We need to be careful with our words. It's okay to criticize the game and the players, but don't escalate the topic to the level of nations, especially religion!"

"Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

These dozen or so people were the elite of the elite. After reading the documents distributed by Cao Zhengze, they basically understood what they were going to do this time.

It's all about stirring up hatred between players from different countries.

so esay
Cao Zhengze began assigning tasks quickly: "This time, I will still assign tasks according to your four groups."

"Group 1, the Thai group, disguised as Thai players who were backstabbed by Vietnamese players in the ancient tomb cave, highlighting the Vietnamese players' lack of sportsmanship and their ambush and monster-stealing tactics."

"Your task is to post tearful complaints on Friendster in English, with sensational titles like, 'Heartbroken! Thai guy got ambushed by Vietnamese in Tomb Raider, all his gear was taken!' or 'Vietnamese players' quality? Ha!'"

"You write the articles yourselves, and then have your people stir things up in the comments section, understand?"

"Understood." The group members nodded quickly.

Cao Zhengze looked at Group Two and said, "Your Group Two is the Vietnam Group. You are playing the role of passionate young Vietnamese people who are provoked by Malaysian players for no reason and are also affected by the map attack by Thai players. You need to emphasize the spirit of defending your homeland and condemn the Malaysian players for bullying you because of their numbers and the Thai players for not distinguishing right from wrong."

"Your goal is to incite hatred among Vietnamese players, posting titles such as: 'The people of Changshan will never bow down! Malaysian dogs and Thai cowards, the truth will be revealed in the open beta!' and 'Malaysian players openly clamor for the Vietnamese to get out!'"

"The direction of your commentary control is to unite Vietnamese players."

"Yes!" the members of the second group responded immediately.

Cao Zheng then looked at Groups Three and Four and said, "Your Group Three will act as the troublemakers, using existing hot topics to stir up trouble, and pretending to be bystanders or angry young people from small countries."

"You four groups will act as the 'fanning group,' responsible for using various alt accounts to stir up trouble in all popular posts, especially those where players from different countries are arguing, to keep the posts popular."

"Yes!"

Soon, everyone dispersed and went about their own business.

In less than a week, Friendster became a hot topic.

A rational technical post commented: "From a topographical perspective, Vietnamese players do have an advantage in holding positions, but Thai players' teamwork is terrible, and Malaysian players are just a nuisance..."

The technical post appeared objective, but it actually showed bias, which led to a heated argument in the comments section.

An angry young man posted: "The tragedy of a weak nation! Being slaughtered like pigs by players from powerful nations in the game 'Primordial War Chronicles'!"

This post was quite insightful, resonating with and igniting anger among players from other smaller Southeast Asian countries, with the criticism subtly directed at the ongoing conflict between Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia. A delicate-looking Japanese female player even posted a tearful complaint: "HG-Ji-hyun oppa, why did you hit me? I just wanted to team up with you..." The post was accompanied by a pitiful photo of the girl.

This immediately ignited the historical sentiments that already existed among Japanese and Korean players.

The comments section was flooded with Japanese and Korean flame wars, which also dragged the Chinese Red Army into the fray.

At this time, the four highly targeted groups also began to take action.

They left comments using Vietnamese alt accounts under Thai players' complaint posts: "If you're bad, practice more; if you can't handle losing, don't play!"

Underneath the enthusiastic post from Vietnamese players, they left comments using a Thai alt account: "Anyone can brag! Who got chased and beaten like a dog by us in the Ancient Tomb? Forgot?"

Inside the office area, the sound of keyboards clicking away filled the air.

Cao Zhengze, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, squinted at several monitors.

The monitor displays Friendster's trending topics list.

While monitoring the trending topics list, he continuously issued orders:
"Thailand group, that tearful accusation post has gone viral, but the comment section isn't lively enough. I'll create a few alt accounts and make up a few more stories about my friends being scammed out of equipment by Vietnamese people! It has to be believable."

"And the Vietnam team, their counterattack was terrible! Give them some steam!"

"Headliners, the insults from Japan and Korea aren't fierce enough. Go, use that Sakura-chan's alt account to post a new thread titled 'The Korean oppa's butcher's knife shattered my gaming dream...', along with screenshots of that girl being killed in other posts. Then find a few more Korean alt accounts to insult her as a pitiful, damned Japanese devil!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded.

The effect was very immediate.

The topic of Friendster's Primordial War Chronicles has now completely become a powder keg.

Although Friendster is the world's largest social media platform, 90% of its users are from Asia.

It's safe to say that almost every computer user in Asia will occasionally log in to Friendster.

It's more like a habit.

At this time, posts in various languages ​​sprang up like mushrooms after rain, each filled with anger, grievances, provocation, and a strong sense of hostility.

A long post masquerading as a veteran Thai player detailed several classic battles from the test server of "Primordial War Chronicles," accompanied by a few blurry but highly provocative screenshots, quickly garnered over a million views.

In the comments section, thousands of posts were filled with insults in Thai, Vietnamese, English, and various slang and abbreviations.

Vietnamese players, not to be outdone, organized a Friendster petition with 10,000 signatures, demanding that the game's officials punish Malaysian players for malicious PvP and Thai players for map-based attacks. The petition was followed by a chaotic battle of various languages ​​and a flood of comments supporting or opposing the petition.

The most popular post right now is a tearful complaint from a Japanese female gamer, which has sparked a phenomenon.

The post was translated into multiple languages, with Japanese and Korean players hurling insults at each other in their native languages, while players from other countries watched with glee, leaving comments that fanned the flames and gloated.

In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

Therefore, Chen Zhi's Red Army also became popular along with this wave.

This incident has nothing to do with Cao Zhengze; it was created by real players who promoted him.

Some people admire their discipline and fighting spirit, posting that they are the pride of China.

Some people denounced them as locusts.

The in-game world chat channel completely exploded.

It was filled with profanities in various languages ​​and recruitment ads from guilds.

[The "Hunky Men Club" is recruiting! Open beta launch focused on taking down Vietnamese dogs!]

[Changshan Corps is recruiting! Dominate Southeast Asia!]

[Eight new beauties have arrived at our Pattaya club; come and experience them!]

……

The sheer volume of information is overwhelming.

Although some third-party translation plugins can barely translate some common phrases, the content they produce is often inaccurate or even completely wrong, which further exacerbates misunderstandings and hostility.

The test server will end in 10 days.

As the game neared its end, the servers became increasingly lively, and this marketing campaign propelled the overseas version of "Honghuang Zhanji" to the top of the Southeast Asian news trending list.

This has led many computer users to want to see what makes this game so appealing.

So they downloaded the game and frantically clicked to join the queue.

Even when it showed that there were 31421 people in the queue, they did not give up.

The large number of people queuing up caused the server to lag even more severely. Fortunately, the players were very enthusiastic. Even if they were disconnected, they would grumble and go back to queue up.

At this moment, Kong Feng looked at the data in the backend on the server and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The efforts of the past month or so have not been in vain.

The number of newly registered accounts is skyrocketing.

The number of registered accounts has now reached 516742.

He grinned and said to his assistant, "See this? What does 'gold in troubled times' mean? This is it! Go and notify the tech department to make sure they record all the lag issues. If it's still like this during the public beta, then I won't be so lenient with them."

“Okay.” The assistant nodded, looking at the hostile language displayed on the computer screen, and said with some concern, “Mr. Kong, isn’t this going a bit too far? What if things go wrong…”

"Got it wrong?" Kong Feng scoffed and said, "We've been running this game for over two years, how come you still don't understand the true essence of online games? The worst thing for an online game isn't criticism, it's no one playing it, it's a lifeless atmosphere!"

Kong Feng raised his hand and touched the computer screen, specifically the area displaying the number of registered accounts.

He remarked, "Look at the game now, which player isn't hooked? Which guild isn't eager to prove themselves in the open beta? Boss Cheng is right, the more chaotic things are, the more opportunities there are, and the more people will spend money."

Meanwhile, Cheng Yi, the instigator, was leisurely refreshing his Friendster page.

Looking at the comments under his post titled "[Vietnamese Player Interview: Thai Players Are Too Soft!]", which had accumulated to tens of thousands of messages in various languages, he took a satisfied sip of tea.

"The hype is enough," he muttered to himself. "Time to move on to the next step."

He called Cao Zhengze and said, "Old Cao, you did a great job. The results of this first phase have completely exceeded my expectations."

"It's all thanks to you, boss, for your excellent training," Cao Zhengze said, feigning modesty.

Cheng Yi didn't waste any more words with him and continued, "Now you start to guide the direction, shifting the focus from simple verbal battles to the outcome of the public test and winning glory for the country. Highlight our upcoming cross-server battlefield and national honor system, and let their anger explode during the public test."

“Yes, boss.” Cao Zhengze immediately responded, “I guarantee to complete the task and turn their hostility into wealth.”

Cao Zhengze put down the phone and shouted to the crowd around him: "Brothers, let's change the wind. Let's get this exciting, let's create a sense of national glory, let's create an epic feeling of a showdown in the open beta. My goal is to make everyone feel that if they don't crush the other side in the open beta, they will have let down their ancestors for eighteen generations."
