Chapter 807 Internet Celebrity
Lu Yiming asked Wang Xing: "Go to the campus network and find ten users with the best data."
Wang Xing asked, “What do you want to do?”
Lu Yiming said as a matter of course: "Of course it's to create stars."
Wang Xing laughed and said, “Mr. Lu, didn’t you say before that we should fully trust the creativity of the people? Why did you end it so quickly?”
Lu Yiming said confidently: "This is not called the end. I am wondering why you are so stupid? Right now, users are still in a confused state. They don't know which direction to work towards. Instead of letting them figure it out on their own, why don't we set up a few successful examples for them to follow. This way, the efficiency will be high. Do you understand?"
Wang Xing suddenly realized: "So this is how social networking is done? I've learned something."
In the summer of 2005, China's Internet had just entered the 2.0 era. Although blogs had set a precedent for users to output information, most Internet users were still accustomed to the previous portal model.
They are not used to creating and producing content themselves and are still passively accepting it. Ordinary people can only post on forums and leave comments at most.
Only those with a slightly higher level of knowledge will write long articles on their blogs.
But most of these contents are text, and their influence is actually limited. What Lu Yiming really values are photos and videos.
After all, there is a saying that goes, no picture, no truth.
No matter how vividly and vividly the text describes something, how can it be as direct as pictures and videos?
However, the current bandwidth is still limited, and it is too early to set up a video website. Lu Yiming does not intend to waste money now, so he is basically secretly hoarding copyrights.
It was only after the popularization of mobile Internet that video websites truly began to rise.
This is something that can only be promoted at the government level. Not to mention that Lu Yiming is now the richest man in Asia, even the world's richest man Bill Gates can't do anything about it.
A few days later, Wang Xing handed Lu Yiming a document: "Mr. Lu, here are the information of the ten most popular users of the campus network."
"Well, let me see."
Lu Yiming took the information, flipped through it casually, and was soon attracted by the information of a user.
"Hu Jiake? A freshman from Shuimu University, class of 2005? She's pretty."
The number of followers of this user has exceeded 30,000, and the cumulative clicks on the content he posted have reached millions, far ahead of others.
Lu Yiming flipped through the list again and saw that out of the ten people, seven were women and three were men. Both men and women were very good-looking.
Humans are indeed visual animals.
In the photo, Hu Jiake has a ponytail and air bangs, a very natural oval face, red lips, white teeth, and a pretty face.
Although she was wearing ordinary sportswear, her youthful and lively temperament and the purity of a campus girl were overwhelming.
You can't say she's gorgeous, but you're drawn to her. You imagine being with her makes you happy.
Lu Yiming stared at Hu Jiake's photo for a long time, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Why does she look more and more like Milk Tea Sister?"
Calculating the time, she is not yet in college.
Besides, that's not her name.
As he watched, an idea suddenly popped into Lu Yiming's mind.
Mizuki University.
Girls dormitory.
Hu Jiake logged into her campus network account and saw that the followers, @, and private messages under her avatar were all 99+.
Ji Ziqian came over to look and said enviously, "You have more than a thousand more fans today than yesterday, and the page views have exceeded 100,000. You are far ahead. The champion of this school beauty contest must be you."
Hu Jiake's lips curled up, and she was secretly proud in her heart, but she still complained aloud: "What's good about being famous? I'm so fed up with it. Now I'm surrounded by a group of flies emitting hormones every day. I regret participating in this school beauty contest."
Ji Ziqian also participated in the competition, but her statistics were no match for Hu Jiake, and she had no hope of making it into the top ten.
It’s not that she is ugly, but there are so many female college students in the country, and those who can stand out after passing through layers of selection definitely have their own shining points.
Being beautiful is just a basic requirement.
Moreover, there are many subjective factors in the selection process that are very metaphysical and cannot be explained by common sense.
"Regret participating? Huh, huh, huh, huh, I think you don't mean what you say. You should be very happy. You have to treat me to a meal if you get the prize money."
Ji Ziqian couldn't help but stretched out her hand and pinched Hu Jiake's delicate face: "This face is so beautiful, pure and lustful, even a girl like me can't help but be moved, let alone a man."
"Oh, you pinched my face again..."
The two of them immediately started making a scene again, and their bell-like laughter filled the entire dormitory.
Just at this moment, Hu Jiake's cell phone rang. She stopped playing, picked up the phone, and pressed the answer button.
"Hello? Hello."
A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, is this Hu Jiake? I am Wang Xing, the founder and CEO of Campus Network."
The founder and CEO of Campus Network is a well-known title. Although they were only contacted over the phone, Hu Jiake couldn't help but sit up straight, as if Wang Xing was sitting opposite him.
"Hello, Mr. Wang. I'm Hu Jiake."
Registration on the campus network requires real-name registration, which includes a phone number. Hu Jiake was not surprised at all that Wang Xing was able to call.
Wang Xing didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Student Hu Jiake, this is what I mean. We now have a 'Top Ten Rising Stars of Campus Key Training Program'. Would you like to participate?"
"A key training program for the top ten rising stars on campus?"
Hu Jiake raised his eyebrows slightly and began to think in his mind.
Isn't the campus beauty pageant even over yet? Why is there a sudden focus on training the top ten rising stars on campus?
After all, as a girl who was admitted to Shuimu University, Hu Jiake was not someone who would be easily led by the nose. After thinking about it for a while, she felt that there might be some contradictions here, so she did not agree directly on impulse, but asked calmly: "Can you tell me the specific content of the training first?"
Because of her figure and looks, she has been discovered by so-called scouts many times before. She even tried to be a print model during the summer vacation after graduating from high school.
As a result, when the judges met her for the first time, they directly hinted that she had to sleep with him in order to win the award and get advertising resources. She slammed the door and left.
Having had such an experience, Hu Jiake naturally became more cautious about the training plan proposed by Wang Xing.
How could Wang Xing know what Hu Jiake was thinking? This plan was proposed by Lu Yiming, so there was no way such a mess would happen. Therefore, he did not think much about it and said directly: "The specific content of the training involves commercial secrets, but the person in charge of the training is my boss, and there are a total of ten people participating in the training. Whether to sign up is up to you, Mr. Hu."
Hu Jiake didn't refuse directly, but she didn't agree rashly either. Instead, she said, "Let me think about it first."
Wang Xing said, "Okay, the registration deadline is three days from now. Just tell me the time. You can call this number or contact customer service on the campus network."
"OK."
"Then I won't disturb Mr. Hu from studying. Goodbye."
"goodbye."
After Hu Jiake hung up the phone, Ji Ziqian asked curiously, "Who is it? Mr. Wang?"
Hu Jiake did not hide it and said, "It was Mr. Wang, the CEO of Campus Network, who invited me to participate in the 'Top Ten Campus Rising Stars Key Training Program' and said that the person in charge of the training was his boss, and asked me if I wanted to go."
"CEO of the campus network? His boss?"
Ji Ziqian's eyes rolled, and she immediately exclaimed, "He's the CEO, so isn't his boss the richest man in the country, Mr. Lu?"
The news of Campus Network's acquisition of Renren Network had long been spread, and the fact that Campus Network was invested by Lu Yiming was no longer a secret.
Ji Ziqian looked at Hu Jiake and said with a sigh: "Richest man Lu trained you personally? Comrade Hu, you are going to be rich."
Hu Jiake finally reacted after hearing what he said, then frowned and couldn't help muttering: "Mr. Lu even knows how to provide training? Why does it sound unreliable? Moreover, why does this feel weird? He didn't even say what the training content was, could it be..."
Ji Ziqian grabbed Hu Jiake's arm and shook it hard: "Are you stupid? That's the richest man in Lu. Even if he wants to take advantage of you, you'll make a fortune, right? He's so young, so handsome, and so rich. He has all the advantages of a man. No, I'm going to get wet if I think about it. Ah, why didn't Mr. Wang call me? I promise I would do whatever he asked me to do without hesitation."
"Okay, stop shaking it. If you keep shaking it, the brain will be mixed together."
Hu Jiake quickly stopped Ji Ziqian, and then said with a look of disgust: "You are acting like a nymphomaniac again, can you be more ladylike?"
"Lady ass!"
Ji Ziqian shouted, "Why are you still hesitating? Hurry up and agree to it. This is a chance to get close to Mr. Lu. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, you will probably regret it for the rest of your life."
Hu Jiake thought about it and felt that she should really seize this opportunity, but then she became distressed again.
What if Mr. Lu, the richest man in the world, takes a fancy to me and wants to take advantage of me, should I agree or refuse?
Not long after, the ten most popular users of the campus network appeared at the campus network headquarters.
Hu Jiake came with Ji Ziqian.
Ji Ziqian insisted on coming along, with the reason of protecting Hu Jiake.
In fact, Hu Jiake knew that she wanted to see Lu Yiming.
Anyway, Wang Xing didn't say that he was not allowed to bring anyone, so Hu Jiake didn't refuse.
When they got off the bus, Ji Ziqian saw a tall boy at first sight. She stamped her feet with excitement and tightly grasped Hu Jiake's arm and said, "Isn't that Leng Binbin, the school hunk from Beijing University? Wow, he's really handsome, worthy of being my idol."
Leng Binbin has an elegant temperament and a gentle smile. He is the kind of person who can directly play a romantic and talented scholar in a TV series by just putting on a green shirt.
Then, Ji Ziqian saw another person: "Wow, this is our Shuimu University's senior Li Fei. His muscles are so muscular that they make me drool. I heard that he has been selected into the CBA. He is indeed my idol."
Hu Jiake suddenly felt a little speechless, and couldn't help but complain: "Don't you have too many male idols?"
Ji Ziqian said confidently: "What do you know? I have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering beauty. As long as he is a handsome guy, he can't escape my sharp eyes."
Not long after, Lu Yiming came out accompanied by Wang Xing.
He was wearing a slim navy blue suit and looked very capable.
In terms of appearance, the two are comparable to Lu Yiming, or even slightly better.
But in terms of temperament, he was far superior to Lu Yiming. After all, they were both still college students, still staying in the ivory tower. They did not have Lu Yiming's outstanding demeanor that had been tempered by fighting and winning in the business world.
It's like a scholar facing a commander who has won every battle. The two are simply incomparable.
Ji Ziqian was so excited that she grabbed Hu Jiake's arm and shook it vigorously, saying, "It really is Mr. Lu himself! He is really handsome, and he has the temperament of a domineering CEO. Oh no, I'm about to faint from happiness."
Hu Jiake was really convinced by her best friend. She couldn't help but pinch Ji Ziqian's cheek and said, "You are the only one who is so dramatic. Do you have to be so exaggerated?"
Ji Ziqian slapped Hu Jiake's hand away, looked at Hu Jiake with her big watery eyes, and said exaggeratedly: "That's Mr. Lu, the richest man. Do you know how rich he is?"
Hu Jiake pretended to be calm on the surface, but she was actually very excited. After all, Lu Yiming could almost be said to be the idol of all the young people in Xia Country.
Who wouldn’t desire to achieve success and fame at a young age and reach the pinnacle of life ?
Lu Yiming's appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention, and he had long been accustomed to the feeling of being stared at, so he did not feel any discomfort.
"Hello everyone, I'm Lu Yiming."
The crowd, who were originally very reserved, suddenly became agitated after hearing Lu Yiming speak.
"Mr. Lu, can you give me an autograph?"
"Mr. Lu is so handsome."
"Can I take a picture with you?"
Facing everyone's various requests, Lu Yiming responded with ease, then clapped his hands gently to attract everyone's attention, and smiled and talked about business: "Welcome everyone to the campus network headquarters. Believe me, you will never regret this decision today."
If someone else said this, everyone would definitely feel unconvinced. After all, the people standing here are not only good-looking, but also academic masters. They are simply the chosen ones of heaven and have high standards.
But when Lu Yiming said this, it was completely different. We were all about the same age, I was still in college, and Lu Yiming was already the richest man in Asia. I didn't know how big the gap was.
Everyone was whispering.
"I wonder what Mr. Lu wants to do?"
"Will it teach us how to start a business and make money? Hey, I don't ask for much. I will retire after making 10 or 8 billion."
"cut……"
Lu Yiming glanced at the handsome men and beautiful women in front of him and slowly said, "Do you know what an Internet celebrity is?"
