Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 229: Can you control the traffic?
The intention of Cai Tian's article inevitably leads to speculation. It is obviously not his true dining experience, and it seems like he is deliberately suppressing the North City Hotel.

This is clearly telling Jiang Beicheng that you can't fit in this circle.

In fact, the Black Pearl Restaurant Guide is really a social circle, a network of contacts, and even a capital circle.

The list of restaurants on the list changes very little every year when it is released.

Less than 10 percent of the places changed.

It is undeniable that many restaurants have been pursuing higher standards and have been able to retain the reputation of Black Pearl Restaurant.

But how fast does the catering market update and iterate every year?
Obviously, this list is not in line with market conditions.

Jiang Beicheng smiled.

I used to be proud that my mother’s Li Ji Restaurant was rated as a Black Pearl Restaurant, but nowadays, the value of this title is really not that great.

It’s better for him not to join this circle.

"Mr. Jiang, do you need to find a public relations representative?" Shen Jun asked.

Jiang Beicheng shook his head.

It means ignore it.

Cai Tian is now waiting for you to bow to him, beg him to delete the post, and then negotiate terms with you.

The exposure brought by this article alone is not enough to affect the reputation of Beicheng Hotel and change the good image of Beicheng Hotel in the minds of customers.

It's nothing more than attracting a group of angry netizens to vent their emotions.

It's like he dug a public cesspool to attract people to shit there.

Cai Tian also knew that the IP traffic of Beicheng Hotel was relatively large, so he used neutral words in the article to guide readers to analyze, rather than directly using derogatory words to draw conclusions.

After listening to Jiang Beicheng's opinion, Shen Jun stopped paying attention to this matter.

The actual situation was similar to what Jiang Beicheng expected, and Cai Tian's article did not gain popularity.

Compared with the videos he released before, all the data have indeed reached new highs, and the comments section is full of messages he wants to see, and most of them are directed at the North City Hotel.

However, it did not reach the level of attracting industry attention or becoming a social hot topic.

This made Cai Tian not very satisfied.

I felt like I was slapped twice by Jiang Beicheng.

Once, when he was dining at the North City Hotel, no one showed up to greet him.

Once, I wrote an article that I had carefully edited, but I didn’t get any response from Jiang Beicheng, which resulted in the article not being very popular.

This is what short videos are like. They need conflicts to attract people to watch and discuss.

Jiang Beicheng simply ignored it.

This shows that they completely disregard the "sincere" "opinions" put forward by him, the Black Pearl judge.

Cai Tian felt very uncomfortable.

Then a second article targeting Beicheng Hotel was published, "Beicheng Hotel, just a little bit away from making the list."

Once this article is published, the effect will be completely different.

All data increased sharply.

When Jiang Beicheng saw this article, his brows furrowed slightly. Is Cai Tian a mad dog? Chasing him and biting him?

Are you unclear about your role? You're a Black Pearl judge and a board member. The Black Pearl restaurant guide for this year hasn't been released yet; it's still in the judging phase. What's the point of publishing this article?
Early leak: Beicheng Hotel was not selected?
Or does it mean that Beicheng Hotel cannot be selected, and you are covering up everything?
I’ve played it, Mr. Cai.

Jiang Beicheng glanced at the comment section and was disgusted.

"Haha, what a rubbish restaurant. People who have eaten there say the food is terrible."

"Is there really anyone going to the North City Hotel for dinner?"

"It's so expensive, what a shame."

“I’ve been there, and I really don’t recommend it.”

"..."

Familiar queue.

It seems that everyone is commenting and expressing their opinions, but in fact, their positions are very clear.

No one specifically told us what was wrong, what dishes we ordered, what meal we had, or why we were disappointed?

No one has analyzed the opinions expressed in Cai Tian's article; it's all just smear campaigns against the North City Hotel. Reading more of the comments makes this even more apparent.

When I clicked on the ID, I saw that they were all private accounts that had never posted any video content.

Jiang Beicheng guessed that it was most likely his competitor, or someone he had a grudge against in private, who hired online trolls to discredit him.

Cai Tian's article "nourishes" them.

He was also very pleased that he had become a hot topic thanks to his professionalism as a gourmet and food judge.

In fact, he has been used as a gun.

"Mr. Cai, you've made such a big fuss on the short video, and the situation is out of control. Can you control it?" Jiang Beicheng muttered.

He shook his head, picked up the coffee and took a sip, then said to Shen Jun, "Third question to Black Pearl judge Cai Tian.

1. What is your identity and purpose for coming to Beicheng Hotel for dinner?
2. What are the selection criteria for Black Pearl Restaurants?
Third, can a good dish truly represent the quality of a Black Pearl restaurant?

Shen Jun understood immediately.

Doesn’t your opponent like to write articles?

Mr. Jiang responded to you in the same way.

She immediately filled in these three questions.

During the peak period of short video traffic in the evening, the article "Three Questions to Black Pearl Judge Cai Tian" was published using the official account of Beicheng Hotel, which has nearly two million followers.

Cai Tian’s two articles in the past two days have heated up the topic of Beicheng Hotel.

As soon as Shen Jun published this article, it was like a fuse, instantly igniting the game between the two.

In addition to netizens and consumers, many catering colleagues also participated in the discussion.

"Cai Tian, ​​let me ask you, what is your identity and purpose? If you are going there as a judge, shouldn't you be anonymous according to the rules?"

"This is such a joke! The official Black Pearl results haven't even been released yet, and the judges have already jumped to conclusions. Are you guys just judging based on your mood?"

"Mr. Cai's excellent dishes are always at the three-diamond restaurant level, I find it hard to believe."

"Mr. Cai, have you read the real customer reviews yourself?"

"If Wang Xing doesn't step in and clean up the mess, Black Pearl will become a laughing stock."

"The last thing you should have on the judging panel is your peers."

"Mr. Cai, the response from the North City Hotel has arrived. How long will it take for you to finish writing your article?"

"..."

The Black Pearl judges and Beicheng Hotel, two IPs with their own traffic, caused quite a stir in the catering industry as soon as the game started, and their peers questioned the Black Pearl selection rules.

Jiang Beicheng's concubine used her short video account with nearly 7 million followers that night to forward the article about Beicheng Hotel.

She did not reveal her identity, but mentioned in the video her advertising experience for the North City Hotel, and talked about the real North City Hotel from the perspective of a partner.

The young wife has been very active recently and has released several videos in a row.

Her joining in intensified public opinion.

Seeing the popularity growing, internet celebrities, big and small, who have cooperated with Beicheng Hotel, also came out to release video teams.

They see clearly that the current public opinion is favorable to Beicheng Hotel, so they speak in favor of Beicheng Hotel appropriately. As long as they speak well of it, the more exposure they get and the better the video data.

Although they were all thinking about their own profits, they stepped forward one after another to increase the popularity and make it a hot topic.

The situation is completely out of control.

It is no longer just a game between Jiang Beicheng and Cai Tian, ​​Beicheng Hotel and Black Pearl Restaurant, but has become a social topic.

At this time, Cai Tian was already a little nervous.

He is afraid of the network influence of Beicheng Hotel, a popular IP. Now many Internet celebrities are standing on the side of Beicheng Hotel and criticizing him in order to gain popularity.

He was still considering whether to delete the two articles.

A food blogger with 40 million followers who once worked with Jiangbeicheng came out and posted a video, directly attacking a delicious dish.

“Everyone knows that I often visit Black Pearl and Michelin restaurants. I won’t talk about other things here, just talk about my dining experience at a good plate of food. Beicheng Hotel is really far ahead.

I'm really skeptical about how a good dish gets its three-diamond restaurant title. Did you review it yourself? Don't you even look at user feedback?..."
