Release of the fairyland blue bird, the witch said she couldn't stand it

Chapter 393 Warm-up for 618: Everyone Collects Five Blessings!
"President!"

Huang Wansan strode into the president's office, carrying a stack of documents in his hand:
"President, those commoners are utterly ungrateful! They..."

"Shut up!"

Jiang Chen frowned and interrupted Huang Wansan:

"What troublemaker? Remember, everything we have now was given to us by Puxiu."

"Without Puxiu, who would we sell our products to? And who would drive consumption in our major shopping malls?"

"I don't want to hear anything like that from you again."

"Yes"

Huang Wansan lowered his head and stammered, but still couldn't help but say:

"We've already apologized, what more do they want? Are they going to keep making a scene?"

"what happened?"

"I don't know who started this trend, but now all the popular videos are filled with people pretending to be shills and refusing to let go of the scalper issue."

"Oh? Is that so? Let me see."

Jiang Chen took the document.

The above are some classic examples of cross-dressing remarks:

ID: The Iron Fist of Justice

[Wan San Group's announcement is hilarious! I stayed up until 3 AM and they were still sold out in seconds! So 'priority for students' just means letting scalpers' kids buy them first? #YoyoScam#]

ID: Cultivation World Discipline Inspection Commission: (Screenshot of high-priced second-hand transaction records)

[Thanks to Daddy Wan for the 'Phoenix Soaring to the Nine Heavens Treasure Chest'! I opened it and was pleasantly surprised to find a Grade C ball and a 'Next Time' note! So, compensation just gives scalpers another chance to fleece them? This marketing stunt is textbook perfect (thumbs up)!]

ID: Holy Lord Supporters Club

[Just a neutral observer here, what more do you want from the CEO who already apologized? I suggest regular players spend more time tightening screws in factories; once you've saved up six figures, you can naturally buy an A+ ball~ (Just kidding)]

ID: Honest Man of Qianyang Domain
[Shocking! Insider information: A relative of a senior executive hoarded nearly 10,000 S-grade balls! Don't believe it? Watch the Douyin video '@huangniubaoliaoge', the warehouse is clearly filmed! Waiting for the CEO to say this was done by a 'temporary worker' (speechless)]

ID: The trumpet account that has been banned forever:
[Ladies, avoid these 13,000 RMB trendy toys! Buying them requires signing a 'waiver of rights agreement,' and you have to record a video to prove they weren't switched! Are consumers being treated like thieves? Isn't it better to just have stock and ship directly from the 'Bahuang Toy Store' next door?]

ID: Transcending Tribulation Stage Know-It-All

[科普: The cost of the yo-yo formation plus materials is less than 100 spirit stones! Why would I sell it to you for thousands or tens of thousands?]

ID: Magic Academy Repeat Student

[Players in the Western Fantasy Continent are genuinely envious! We have lower wages here but have to pay the same price? @WanSanInternationalDepartment, what happened to the promised 'equality between the two worlds'?]

ID: Xie Xiu’s little emotion:
[Just out of curiosity: Has the drop rate for the compensation chests been released? Is the probability of drawing an S-rank item even 0.0001%?]

Jiang Chen calmly read through all the comments above.

how to say?

Some people made these comments because they were upset about buying a second-hand yo-yo at a high price.

However, many of them pretend to be different people to deliberately stir up trouble, forge screenshots and inside information, provoke conflict, and use emojis to amplify the sarcastic tone.

Moreover, most of the so-called screenshots and videos are photoshopped.

Huang Wansan was so surprised because he had never encountered such a situation before.

After all, given the influence of the Wan San Group, who would dare to open a business?
But little did they know that times were progressing.

With the increasing number of mobile phone users, relying on methods such as 'suppression,' 'threats,' and 'silencing' is clearly no longer sufficient to control some people.

This is an inevitable result of the development of the times.

True.

Jiang Chen can enable the option to "show only high-quality comments" for relevant videos, or simply block certain keywords.

The former allows video publishers to choose which comments to display, while the latter ensures that any comment containing a keyword will only be seen by the publisher.

But doing so is tantamount to deceiving oneself.

The suppressed public anger will not be quelled; on the contrary, it will accumulate and retaliate in a more ferocious manner in the future.

Cause and effect are like this in every bite and sip.

Of course.

The current situation is far from reaching the level of "public outrage".

However, if these opinions are not suppressed as soon as possible, they will spread unchecked and dominate the mainstream of the internet.

That future.
Jiang Chen didn't want the comments section to be uniformly filled with complaints about Wan San Group whenever a video was mentioned.

Comments like "Far ahead," "Just arrived, have they won yet?" and "Already numb" are common.

"Then what should we do now?"

In response to Huang Wansan's question, Jiang Chen tapped the table.

If the system were to reward a new app at this point, the buzz would instantly overshadow the current scalping incident.

However, even without the system's intervention, Jiang Chen had his own methods.

"We've earned so many spirit stones from them, it's time to give them some real benefits."

"What benefits?"

"Welcome to 618! Collect five blessings with everyone!"

"What?"

Huang Wansan was completely bewildered. What was 618? And what kind of blessing had he collected?

soon.

Jiang Chen's guidelines for the first major e-commerce promotion began to be issued at each level.

The information was distributed from Huang Wansan and the various holy masters and venerable ones to the lower-level manufacturers, who then informed the first-level distributors, and finally notified all the large and small Douyin merchants.

[Passion knows no bounds, enjoy 618 to the fullest!]

[Open ecosystem, linking brands across all industries for cross-industry marketing!]

The core purpose of the event is to allow consumers to buy their favorite products at huge discounts.

In addition to requiring participating merchants to reduce prices by at least 20% of the original price,

Douyin will also distribute no-threshold coupons one week before the event starts.

Every day at the top of the hour, no-threshold coupons of 10, 100, 1000, and up to 1 will be sent out for consumers to grab.

同时也有大量1w-2k，1k-200、500-90、100-15等每个人都能抢到的满减优惠券。

The pre-event activities will begin 7 days in advance.

Two hours a day.

In other words, these benefits will be distributed in 168 waves, which is almost continuous.

Even products from different merchants can be combined to qualify for a discount.

of course.

Merchants can choose not to participate, but as long as they do, they will receive a special 618 traffic subsidy. As for those who don't participate? Those who know, know~
And before that.

Whether you buy things on Douyin or offline, you never hear the term "coupon," right?

Everyone who has received the news understands this.

This will definitely spark a consumer boom!
Moreover, this only applies to product discounts; during the promotion, Jiang Chen will also be participating in the "Collect Five Blessings" activity.

Scan the character "福" (Fu) on Douyin for a chance to obtain one of the following five types of lucky cards.

[True Love Blessing] [Prosperity Blessing] [Harmony Blessing] [Friendliness Blessing] [Dedication Blessing]

You can scan five times a day, and you can also transfer (exchange) any extra lucky cards to others.

The person who collects all five blessings can participate in sharing 8 million spirit stones!
In addition to 8 million spirit stones.

There are also 100 hidden lucky cards given to the lucky winners.

For example, 80 lucky winners can receive a flying car as a gift.

Twenty people can get a house.

Ten people can directly start working at Wan San Group.

Three people can travel around the spiritual realm and the Western Fantasy Continent, with all expenses reimbursed by the group at 3 yuan.

Two people can settle in the Heavenly Demon Realm, and their shopping carts will be emptied.

1 person.
Jiang Chen scratched his head.

What should be done with this one and only spot?

After thinking it over, Jiang Chen casually wrote down a sentence:

One voucher for having dinner with President Wan San.

Let's have a meal.

After all, to be able to obtain this one and only precious lucky card from among hundreds of billions of users is definitely a person with great fortune.

Jiang Chen thought that by eating with this kind of person, he could also share in his good fortune.

Meanwhile, Wan San Group was contacting merchants and planning a series of activities related to 618.

Xingyue Sect.

A group of teenagers gathered at the corner tower of the sect's protective formation, preparing to make their move.

One of the boys swallowed hard, clearly a coward:
"Senior Brother Shaoyang, you can't lie to us. This is the first time I've ever sneaked out of the sect."

Another boy, who seemed to be the leader, held a spinning array in his hand, constantly adjusting its orientation. Without turning his head, he said:
"Why would I lie to you? Today, Wan San Internet Cafe is having a huge recharge rebate event! Recharge 100 and get 100 free! It's even better than our grand opening promotion!"

"Senior brother, are you sure we can successfully bypass the detection of the sect's protective array?"

"Don't worry~"

Sensing the buzzing sound emanating from the array-finding disc, Shao Yang was overjoyed and quickly followed its guidance to a specific array node:
"right here!"

As he spoke, he took out several small array flags from memory and inserted them into certain positions.

really.

The boys immediately felt a sense of relief, as the invisible "gaze" disappeared.

"Senior Brother Shaoyang, you're amazing! You even managed to break the sect's great formation?"

"Hehe, it's not that hard, actually. Isn't there a guy on Douyin who teaches people how to set up formations, Zilong Daoren? I asked him in his live stream, and then he had me buy the formation plate and formation-breaking flag from the little yellow cart. You know what, it actually works!"

Because Shaoyang's requirement was merely to block the array's detection when people inside left.

The overall integrity and offensive/defensive capabilities of the formation remain unaffected.

Such methods are mere trifles to any master of formations.

Take advantage of the night.

A group of teenagers, nervous and excited, took a taxi to the nearest entertainment venue and headed straight for the internet cafe.

"Network administrator, set up five overnight computers! Also, bring us five buckets of instant noodles! Add sausage and braised eggs to all of them, along with a few packets of spicy strips and sweet juice, and give each of us a big country bumpkin chicken leg."

After saying that, Shao Yang waved his hand and slammed a pile of spirit stones onto the bar.

"Eh?"

The other boys were taken aback for a moment, then immediately exclaimed with delight:
"Did my senior brother strike it rich?"

"No."

"Then where did you get so many spirit stones?"

These teenagers did consider working as food delivery drivers or screwdrivers.

In fact, they originally planned to go directly to the factory.

But the factory doesn't want child laborers.

Therefore, they only have two paths left.

Either go to school.

If they want to go to school, their parents not only have to take care of their basic needs like food, drink, and toileting, but also have to pay a considerable amount of tuition fees.

As a result, they don't usually get much extra pocket money.

Forget about going online, even getting a cup of milk tea requires gathering with three or five friends.

Another path is to join a sect.

Although joining the sect now is equivalent to joining the National Revolutionary Army in 49, as the saying goes, even a centipede with a hundred legs will not fall down after it dies.

The sect system has existed on the Spirit Qi Continent for so long that it will definitely not disappear completely in the short term.

Within these sects.

Although these young people cannot generate revenue for the sect, they still receive their own monthly stipend.

This also reveals the drawbacks of the old-fashioned sect model.

"Senior brother, where did you get your spirit stones?"

"We haven't even received our salaries for this month yet, where did you get so many spirit stones?"

"It couldn't have been stolen, could it?"

Upon hearing this, Shao Yang's face darkened:
"Don't make a sound! I just sold the standard-issue sword that the sect gave me. It's not worth much, but it'll easily cover my internet surfing."

"what?"

The other youths were all shocked, but Shao Yang continued:

"What do you mean, 'huh'? Let me ask you, do you want any difference in this sword? There's no rule in the sect that requires checking whether a disciple has their sword, is there?"

"hiss"

If that's what you're saying...

It really is?
What sect would be so bored as to check if their disciples have their swords?

In the Star Moon Sect, many senior brothers and sisters do not carry their swords with them at all times; they either keep them in their cave dwellings or in their storage bags.

In the sect.

Most of them didn't carry a sword.

A boy scratched his head and said:

"Senior brother, I'd like to sell my sword too. Could you introduce me to some opportunities?"

"Sell mine too!"

"If you're all selling, I'm selling too! Today, recharge 100 and get 100 free, let's hurry and sell!"

"No problem, no problem. I know a weapons dealer, but let me make this clear: the sect has a meeting tomorrow, and we can't go over time."

"Rest assured, our hearts are as firm as iron, and we will leave naturally when the time comes."

soon.

These teenagers sat at their computers, immersed in the world of online games.

618?

Looking at the official document received by Douyin's backend, a small sect merchant frowned:

Inquiry hotline: 800-618-8888.

"hiss?"

After reading it, the sect leader of the minor sect frowned deeply, and then uttered two thought-provoking words.

Meeting!
The sect elders all wore bitter expressions upon seeing this:

Their current livelihood consists of producing and selling homemade snacks.

They also follow the strategy of low profit margins and high sales volume.

The promotional price must be ≤ 80% of the regular price?

Someone couldn't help but speak up:
"Our sect's profit margin isn't even 20%, is it? Isn't this a losing proposition that only generates buzz?"

"Can I not participate?"

"Hehe, it's obvious. If we don't participate, our store's traffic next month will be incredibly low."

No data usage for a month.

What are you all doing about your mortgages and car loans?
"Well, the big sects don't care. They just think of it as paying for traffic. Maybe it will even increase their fame. We small sects don't have the resources to suffer losses."

"Difficult."

"Isn't there a way to participate in the event without having to sell at a low price?"

"Eh?"

Sudden.

An elder had a flash of inspiration and came up with a brilliant plan:

"Why don't we raise the price now? That way, the discounted promotional price will actually be our 'original price,' right?"
