Reborn in 08, Public Enemy of Competitors

Inside the dormitory, the electric fan creaked and groaned as it whirred.

Shen Mo was logging into Lu Wenbin's QQ account, his gaze falling on a QQ group called "Integrity Mutual Assistance Alliance".

The 200-person premium group was already full, as clearly stated in the group announcement:

"First, integrity is fundamental. This group encourages mutual assistance and support, and strictly prohibits reneging on orders. Anyone found doing so will be kicked out of the group and permanently blacklisted."

"II. Self-organized: Please post tasks and find partners for mutual assistance yourself. The group admin is not responsible for guarantees, and you assume all transaction risks..."

Just as I was analyzing the entire process of fake orders, the "beep beep beep" notification sound rang out again.

Shen Mo initially intended to ignore it, but when he saw that the QQ name was "Half Summer Breeze", he couldn't help but be surprised.

Unexpectedly, before he could even contact Du Manqing, she took the initiative to come to him.

[Half-Summer Breeze: What happened between you and Liu Xin? She's acting strangely right now.]

[Silence is Golden: Something's not right?]

Shen Mo asked her about Liu Xin's situation with a smug look on his face.

Du Manqing glanced at Liu Xin and saw her holding a Fuwa doll, constantly waving her fists, as if cursing "Shen Mo".

Shen Mo almost burst out laughing. Although he couldn't see it with his own eyes, just thinking about it made him feel incredibly relieved.

This is the feel, it's so awesome!

[Silence is golden: There's nothing between her and me.]

[Half-Summer Breeze: Nothing wrong? Why did she block you?]

[Half-summer Breeze: You two were fine before, isn't there some misunderstanding? Can you talk it out?]

Shen Mo tapped on the keyboard, "Looks like your friendship is all fake. She won't tell you a single truth."

(⊙.⊙)？

Du Manqing was silent for a few seconds, then sent a series of question marks.

Shen Mo immediately replied, "Actually, I blocked her first."

The chat dialog box displayed the message "The other party is typing" in the upper left corner.

After a long while, Du Manqing sent a message that was clearly carefully considered.

[Half-summer Breeze: Regardless of who blocked whom first, I saw you pursuing her for so long.]

[Half-summer Breeze: I don't want things to escalate like this because of a small misunderstanding. Is it really impossible to salvage the situation?]

[Silence is golden: You want me to reconcile with Liu Xin?]

Shen Mo shook his head and chuckled. Sure enough, Du Manqing, this little rich girl, was just as naive as she had been in his previous life.

He put in a lot of effort when he brought Liu Xin and me together, and he often acted as a go-between between the two of them.

Saying things like, "Liu Xin actually has feelings for you," "You need to be more proactive," or "She's just a bit slow to warm up"...

Looking back now, although it may not have been intentional, it objectively helped Liu Xin by keeping herself, the fish trying to get off the hook, in place.

Just as he was lost in thought, Du Manqing immediately sent him a message.

[Half-Summer Breeze: If there's anything you'd rather not say, I can pass it on for you.]

[Half-Summer Breeze: If you feel it's inconvenient to talk on QQ, we can arrange a time; you can tell me in person.]

Looking at the computer screen, Shen Mo curled his lip.

One can look back, but one must never go back down the road, for that is a one-way street.

However, he refused to reconcile with Liu Xin, but he could meet with Du Manqing. After all, the rich and beautiful woman from Wenzhou has a lot of value that can be explored gradually.

In fact, if he were reborn and didn't have any skills, he might have to rely on his female talents to hook up with a rich woman and earn his first pot of gold.

In a past life, I had a friend who was deeply immersed in this field, and his favorite thing to watch was—

National Rich Women's Contact List

How to Make a Rich Woman Fall in Love with Me

How to Win Over a Rich Woman

After studying it for so long, the only thing I've learned is that the most important thing for a couple is to be loving and affectionate, and the most important thing for a woman who is a rich man is to be patient!

Having a good appearance is just a stepping stone; what's more important is having a healthy body, being able to withstand the temptations of a rich woman's pleasure balls.

It must be as durable as Nanfu Energy Concentration Ring, locking in more energy, with one section being stronger than six!

………………

Just as Shen Mo and Du Manqing were chatting, Lu Wenbin came out of the bathroom, his slippers making a clattering sound.

"How's the research going?"

"That's about it, it's even simpler than I imagined."

As soon as Shen Mo said this, Yuan Hua, Qin Feng, and the others immediately pulled up chairs and gathered around.

On the white paper, there is a simplified platform flowchart, which clearly breaks down the entire operating mechanism.

"Take Wenbin as an example. He registered an account on the platform and posted tasks as a shop owner."

"You must first pay a deposit to the platform. The amount of the deposit is equivalent to the price of the goods you are buying."

"After receiving an order, the person who makes the order cannot go directly to the store; they must simulate a real shopping process."

"For example, search for keywords, compare prices from three different vendors, chat with the seller casually for a bit, make the whole show of it, and then place the order."

"After confirming receipt and leaving a positive review, the platform will return the deposit to the person who placed the order..."

Shen Mo explained earnestly, "In this way, with our platform as a trust guarantee, both the store owner and the person who places the order can conduct transactions even if they don't know each other. Store owners no longer have to worry about the person placing the order backing out, and the person placing the order no longer has to worry about the store owner defaulting on their debts."

"How do those who 'brush' (information collectors) receive their commissions?"

Yuan Hua asked, "And how do we get a cut?"

"Just like Taobao, we also have a points system."

"Each task corresponds to 1 to 10 points, and the specific reward is determined by the store that posts the task."

"In short, the platform will sell points to merchants for 1 yuan each, and then buy them back from brushers for 0.4 yuan each. Of course, in order to avoid too frequent withdrawals, the platform will set a minimum withdrawal threshold."

"Once you reach 25 orders, which is 10 yuan, the person who placed the order can withdraw the money to their Alipay account or bank card."

By the end, Shen Mo felt his mouth was dry.

Lu Wenbin reacted quickly, immediately opening the unopened bottle of iced cola and handing it over with a smile.

"Does that mean that if a store posts a task that costs 10 points, the person who completes the task earns 4 yuan, and the platform earns 6 yuan?"

"Holy crap, a 40/60 split? Do you think the botters would be willing to do that?"

Qin Feng's eyes widened in surprise.

"Why wouldn't they want to? All they have to do is click the mouse and type some positive reviews, and they can earn 4 cents in just a few minutes."

Lu Wenbin scoffed, "What job could be easier than this?"

"This price is not fixed. After the platform goes live, we will launch user acquisition activities for both merchants and users who use the service to place orders."

He looked left and right in silence.

"Acquiring new users?"

The three looked at each other, completely bewildered.

Shen Mo explained simply, "Take the brushing app as an example. After completing 10 orders, you will be certified as an experienced brusher and eligible to participate in the new user referral program. If you can successfully bring a new brusher to the platform, you will be recognized as a 'mentor-apprentice'."

"The master of the old brushing can get 20% of each of the apprentice's first 2 orders."

"Of course, this money is not taken from the new users who use fake reviews, but is a subsidy from the platform."

"Hmm, this sounds like a pyramid scheme..."

Yuan Hua scratched his head.

Shen Mo said, "There are three types of transactions in the world: white is legal, black is illegal, and what we're doing now is gray."

"But isn't this against the rules?"

Qin Feng hesitated.

"If there are no regulations, how can there be a violation?"

"The world is not black and white. Those who only see black and white are destined to be losers."

"Take Zhifubao for example, do you think it's legal?"

"Just like us, they are also exploiting legal loopholes and operating in a gray area."

Shen Mo patted them on the shoulder, "Of course, I'll stop as soon as I've made my first pot of gold."

Lu Wenbin had some understanding of his father's rise to wealth and did not object to this kind of shady business.

Instead, she felt a surge of admiration for Shen Mo. "Brother Mo, how much money are you planning to invest?"

Shen Mo held up one finger and flashed a bright smile.

Lu Wenbin pressed further: "Ten thousand?"

Shen Mo shook his head and said, "One thousand!"

"one thousand?!"

Everyone gasped in surprise.

Lu Wenbin frowned deeply and said, "Brother Mo, are you kidding me?"

Do you think I'm joking?

Shen Mo shook his finger. "Back then, Chen Daozai could win 3700 million with 20 dollars. My 1000 dollars is 50 times more than that."
