Chapter 445: Lu Yiming's Success Theory
Lu Yiming logged into his Tianyin Community account and fell into deep thought as he looked at the various 99+ in the background.
Am I that popular?
Well, it seems that being too handsome is sometimes a sin.
In the community, many people recorded Lu Yiming’s advertisements with video equipment and then uploaded them.
The clarity is so bad that it is a compliment to say it is horrific.
But even so, the number of clicks and replies to these posts is very high.
Lu Yiming quietly created a post himself, uploaded the original video, and pinned it to the top.
"【Original HD】Tianyin MP3's first advertisement "I Am My Own Spokesperson""
Less than a minute after this post was published, there was an immediate reply.
"It was actually sent by Mr himself."
"Mr. Lu, I love you."
“You are an idol for young people.”
“It’s a great shot.”
“That’s what young people should do.”
"Let those self-righteous adults see that the future belongs to us."
"Mr. Lu, I want to have a baby with you."
The beautiful people are simple and honest, the young people are versatile, almost all of them are masters of firearms, they are rebellious and bold, enthusiastic and open. Facing this advertisement that speaks out their inner voices, they do not hide their love for it at all.
Some girls even posted photos of themselves in bikinis in the comments, and then @Lu Yiming, asking him to upload them directly, making Lu Yiming laugh and cry.
"That's too much! It's really too much! Can't you send photos like this to private messages? I have to save them one by one, really..."
Lu Yiming muttered to himself as he saved the beautiful photos one by one into his hard drive.
Song Honglin had been thinking about this matter since he saw the TV commercial of the Supreme Alliance. After all, the scope of distributing flyers is really limited, while TV commercials are aimed at the whole country. Now that Lu Yiming has finally come out to shoot the commercial himself, it can be regarded as a relief for him.
"Boss Lu, I never expected that you would make a splash if you didn't make any noise. On my way here, I heard a lot of people talking about your ad! Many TVs in stores are also showing your ad. The most important thing is that our Tianyin MP3 sales have skyrocketed, and I have to go back to stock up!"
Lu Yiming said, "Let's go back in two days. My final exam is coming up soon. We can go back together then."
Song Honglin asked: "What else do you want to do?"
Lu Yiming said: "Find another spokesperson for Qian Qian Jing Ting."
Tianyin Community, Qianqian Jingting and Tianyin MP3 are three products that are both independent and interconnected.
Qianqian Jingting provides online music listening on the computer and song downloading to Tianyin MP3, as well as functions such as rewarding and ranking.
Tianyin Community is an interactive platform for users to share songs with each other.
Now Lu Yiming himself is the spokesperson for Tianyin MP3, and the advertising effect is explosive, so Lu Yiming is thinking of finding another person to endorse Qianqian Jingting.
It just so happens that "I Speak for Myself" not only has a text version, but also a song version.
It would also be great to find someone to sing the song version as Qianqian Jingting's product promotion song to showcase the uniqueness of this software!
Song Honglin was a little embarrassed and asked, "Excuse me... Mr. Lu, this spokesperson is not you again, right?"
Lu Yiming said: "How is that possible? I don't have that much free time."
"That's good……"
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, I said it was fine."
Lu Yiming’s criteria for selecting spokespersons is very clear - they must be people who were not famous before but later became famous thanks to Qian Qian Jing Ting.
Soon, a name came into Lu Yiming's sight.
Christina Aguilera!
Damn it!
Wasn't she unknown before?
But after Tianyin Community launched various functions, her wealthy fans directly spent money to push her songs onto the charts, making her extremely popular.
And now, fans of other stars are not to be outdone - who doesn’t have a few wealthy fans?
The current situation is that everyone is competing with each other in the rankings, the recharge system is running at high load, and Tianyin Company is winning directly.
Great, it's you!
Lu Yiming immediately called the company's CEO Anthony Falconer and asked him to bring people to sign Christina Aguilera as the spokesperson for Tianyin!
At the signing dinner, Christina Aguilera saw Lu Yiming, a mysterious young man from the East, for the first time.
handsome!
This was her first impression of Lu Yiming.
He was so handsome that she was about to "let the water splash out from the silver bottle when it broke, and let the Sima of Jiangzhou's blue shirt get wet".
Lu Yiming held up a goblet, swirled the light golden champagne in the glass, and greeted Christina Aguilera very gentlemanly: "Hello, Christina, you are so beautiful."
"Thanks."
Christina Aguilera's face was slightly red. She had just grown up, and in Lu Yiming's opinion, she was at the most beautiful age for Western women. In addition, her figure was very good, so when she acted shy, Lu Yiming was in awe.
The day after the dinner, Lu Yiming gave the song version of "I Speak for Myself" to Christina Aguilera, and then he and Song Honglin returned to Xia Country on a special plane.
The affairs in the United States have been almost dealt with. Tianyin Internet Technology Co., Ltd. has been established, and Mingyuan Technology has also established a firm foothold in the North American market with its two flagship products, USB flash drives and MP3s. At least before the Internet winter comes, there should not be any major trouble here.
It is already the end of June, and the college entrance examination will be held in just over a week.
Currently, the college entrance examination is still held on July 7th, and it will be changed to June 7th in 2003.
After returning to Baiyun City, Lu Yiming took a comfortable bath to wash away all his fatigue, and then had a good sleep.
The next morning, Lu Yiming went to Mingyuan Technology to find Cheng Xiaohua and asked about the research and development progress.
Now, Mingyuan Technology has three product lines.
The first, of course, is the USB flash drive that allows Mingyuan Technology to gain a foothold, with larger capacity, faster read and write speeds, higher-quality memory particles, better disk management, etc. These are all research directions.
Don’t be fooled by the simple structure of a USB flash drive. It seems easy to make, but once you delve deeper, you will find that there is a lot to learn.
The second is a mobile hard disk with a larger capacity than a USB flash drive. This is also an area that you, Lu Yiming, value very much. However, many technologies can be used with USB flash drives. Researching one is equivalent to researching two, which can save a lot of manpower costs. After all, high-tech talents are not easy to find these days.
The third one, of course, is Tianyin MP3.
In fact, the improvements of Tianyin MP3 are also larger storage capacity and faster reading and writing speed...
In Lu Yiming's view, these three things are just different forms of memory.
Cheng Xiaohua responded fluently to Lu Yiming's report, and all projects progressed smoothly, which made Lu Yiming very happy.
After reporting on the work, Cheng Xiaohua said to Lu Yiming in a relaxed tone: "Mr. Lu, let me tell you an interesting story. In the past week, the sales volume of Tianyin MP3 in China has increased significantly."
When Lu Yiming heard this, he was a little surprised and asked, "How could this be? Didn't you say before that few people in China would buy such an expensive item?"
Cheng Xiaohua smiled and said, "How can it be called an interesting story? A team went abroad for an 'investigation' and bought a lot of things, including our MP3 player. But after they bought it, they found out that it said "Made in Xia Country". The incident soon became a hot topic. As a result, people in China also knew that our products were selling very well in the United States."
"Driven by curiosity, many people in China have also set their sights on Tianyin MP3. After all, not everyone has the money to go abroad, but many people can still afford to buy an MP3 player for more than 2,000 yuan. Spending a few thousand yuan, you can experience the 'pop culture of the beautiful country'. Many people are still willing to do this."
After learning the truth, Lu Yiming was somewhat speechless: "So we are switching from export to domestic sales?"
"Yeah, haha."
“…”
Of course, it is not just Tianyin MP3 that has been exported and sold domestically, but also the "I Am My Own Spokesperson" advertisement and the legendary experience of making 300 million in two months.
Of course, the first place to come into contact with this news was Hong Kong. Although it was already 1999, Hong Kong was still a bridgehead for foreign exchanges, and people abroad still retained the habit of flying to Hong Kong and then to the mainland.
With the spread of various news, the fact that the delegation went to the United States for inspection and bought a bunch of domestic electronic products was brought up again. Many people were surprised to find that the two things were actually the same thing.
Subsequently, various media outlets in mainland China also reprinted the article crazily.
With the reform and opening up, the idea of money supremacy has long been deeply rooted in people's minds, and Lu Yiming earned 300 million in just two months. This move undoubtedly attracted great public attention.
The average person's monthly income is only seven or eight hundred yuan. Even for senior executives of large companies, an annual salary of more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan is very enviable. After all, money is still very valuable nowadays. A house within the Third Ring Road in Beijing only costs about 100,000 yuan.
Three hundred million is enough to buy a building within the Third Ring Road of Beijing!
Many people are very curious about Lu Yiming's experience. They have doubts and questions, but more people are going crazy and regard his story as chicken soup for the soul.
Some scammers even spotted this market and started to promote success in the name of Lu Yiming, teaching offline classes and making money from fools.
But Lu Yiming didn't know all these things.
At noon that day, Lu Yiming and his family of three were having lunch. Ning Xuehua suddenly asked, "Xiaoming, the college entrance examination is coming up in a few days. Why are you joining a wealth training class at this critical moment?"
"Ah? Training class?"
Lu Yiming was shocked: "I don't run a training class. I make hundreds of millions of dollars every minute, why would I do that? How much money can a training class make?"
“That’s not right.”
Ning Xuehua took out a poster and said, "When I went to buy groceries today, someone sent me this. It had your head portrait printed on it. They were directly using your name to offer classes. The registration fee was very expensive, more than a thousand. They said they were going to teach you your success experience, and as long as you become a master, you can make a lot of money. Is this illegal?"
Lu Ding was extremely surprised: "How could anyone believe something that is obviously meant to fool fools?"
Ning Xuehua said: "Why doesn't anyone believe it? I saw quite a few people signing up at the scene."
Lu Yiming immediately got angry. He was fleecing others every day, and now the scammers were fleecing him. How could he tolerate this?
"These days, there are so many fools and not enough liars. It's so easy to make money as long as you are shameless."
"But these people actually used my name to defraud money and didn't even give me a share of the profits! This is really too much!"
Lu Yiming immediately took out his cell phone and said, "I want to call the police!"
After calling the police, Lu Yiming called Li Qiu again, told him about the incident, and asked him to investigate it thoroughly.
This time, Li Qiu did not agree directly, but said: "There are many training courses that use your name. If I sue you, it will cost a lot, and I definitely can't handle it alone."
Lu Yiming got even angrier when he heard this: "Damn it, investigate as many cases as you can! Don't worry about the money, just form a legal team for me to focus on this. In short, sue as many people as you can. They are infringing on my portrait rights and reputation rights. This kind of behavior must not be tolerated."
Ning Xuehua asked with some concern: "Are you going to sue?"
Although it was Lu Yiming whose rights were violated by others this time, when it comes to lawsuits, Chinese people always feel that it is a bad thing and try to avoid getting involved if possible.
Lu Ding asked, "It will cost a lot of money, right?"
Lu Yiming said firmly: "This kind of money cannot be saved. Life is nothing more than fame and fortune. Now that I have money, all I want is a good reputation, so I will never allow anyone to cheat by using my reputation. Otherwise, those fools who signed up but got nothing in the end will probably point their spearheads at me."
Lu Yiming certainly couldn't accept that he not only didn't get any benefits but was also scolded for no reason.
Ning Xuehua smiled and said, "It seems that being a rich person is not easy, there are so many troubles."
Lu Ding snorted, "That's much more comfortable than living in poverty."
Soon, Lu Yiming's fight for his reputation and portrait rights once again made headlines. Li Qiu brought a group of lawyers to sue those scammers who cheated under the guise of success studies. He also set up a special mailbox for reporting, with rewards for reporting. Although the rewards were not high, only a few hundred yuan, there was still an endless stream of people calling every day.
After all, who doesn’t like free money?
There was a lot of commotion outside, but Lu Yiming didn't ask about it anymore. He left this matter to Li Qiu, and he was relieved. Of course, the most important thing was that he hadn't come back to deal with the company's affairs for several months. He had to understand the operation and development of Future Capital, Jianlai Technology, Minghua Entertainment, Shijinji, Tongxin Internet Cafe and other companies. How could he care about public opinion?
That evening, Lu Yiming had just returned to the villa after inspecting the work at Tongxin Internet Cafe when Li Zixian called and said she wanted to interview him.
Lu Yiming had no choice, after all, she was his future sister-in-law, so he had to cheer up and invite her to the company for an interview.
As soon as the two met, Li Zixian joked, "Mr. Lu, you are now a master of success studies. When will you teach us classes? Let me experience what it feels like to be a successful person."
Lu Yiming said helplessly: "Bullshit, I was ripped off by these guys. How much money can you make from success studies? By the way, you journalists must expose these criminals."
"That's for sure."
Li Zixian said, "Let's talk business first. I want to do an exclusive interview with you and Mingyuan Technology. You have been interviewed in the United States, so we can't be partial to one and ignore the other."
The two parties have an old friendship. Li Zixian and Mingzhu TV . The friendship is there, and with the relationship with Li Yiwen, Lu Yiming will certainly not refuse.
"No problem, what do you want to interview?"
Li Zixian asked the photographer to set up the equipment, and then asked, "It is rumored that you have made 300 million in two months. Is this true?"
"Is this the beginning?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Let me make it clear here that this is actually a quote taken out of context by some media reporters. In fact, I did not make 300 million. The new company just accepted the valuation offer from investors and sold some shares in exchange for some funds for business development. That's all. 300 million is too exaggerated and unreliable. 40 million US dollars is the valuation of Tianyin Network, not cash. The valuation is fictitious and cannot be regarded as physical assets. There is a big difference here."
Li Zixian suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. It seems like we all misunderstood."
"The fact that your new company has been recognized by investors in the United States is actually a huge success. Do you have any special secrets for starting a business? Please share them with us so that we can learn from them."
Lu Yiming shook his head slightly and said, "Those who learn from me will live, and those who imitate me will die. Many successes cannot be copied, and the so-called secrets to making money do not exist. You still have to be down-to-earth and serious in life, so that you can live a wonderful life."
This sentence can be regarded as a blow to the death of those chicken soup masters who sell success stories.
Lu Yiming has always looked down upon those who make money by deceiving others.
It's not illegal to brag, but you use my name to brag about fools' money and don't even give me a share of the profits. That's a bit too much.
"Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die! Well said."
Li Zixian then asked: "Next question, many wealthy people now want to immigrate with their families after making money. Are you investing in the United States because there are more opportunities there? Would you consider immigrating?"
Lu Yiming said seriously: "Of course not, I will always feel proud of my Chinese nationality. Some people think that Xia Country is still very poor and backward, and it is the worst era. But I don't think so. On the contrary, I think now is the best era. Xia Country's economy is about to take off, and many industries are still blank. Opportunities are everywhere, waiting for you to discover and conquer."
Li Zixian was very surprised and couldn't help asking, "Are you serious?"
"This is the truth. I can guarantee it with my reputation. My future investment focus will still be in China. After all, this is my motherland and my homeland that I will never leave. I am a descendant of the Chinese nation and I am proud of my identity, so I will not consider emigrating, and neither will my family."
This time, Li Zixian really looked at Lu Yiming with new eyes. After all, she had interviewed many wealthy people about their views on immigration, but they often avoided the main issue and refused to give a direct answer.
On the contrary, Lu Yiming answered without hesitation and with firm decision.
And judging from his expression and posture, these words definitely came from the bottom of his heart, and he was speaking from his heart.
