Volume 4 Crazy Growth 2017 Chapter 847 The Country's Direction
Li Jiaqi consciously stepped aside, ready to enjoy Zhou Dongsheng's performance, but he felt mixed emotions inside.
What makes me happy is that I have created an unprecedented sales record. There is no doubt that for most salespeople, this kind of result is an unattainable achievement in their lifetime.
However, Li Jiaqi was also very clear that the reason he was able to create this record was just a coincidence. It was entirely due to the help of the right time, place and people that he achieved such a result.
The so-called right time refers to the overwhelming publicity in the early stage to divert traffic to this live broadcast, and the so-called right place refers to the generous support from the Douyin platform.
However, both of them are attributed to "harmony among people", that is, the key figure Zhou Dongsheng. Only he can mobilize so many resources to facilitate such a live broadcast and create a result that is difficult to replicate.
With such a result, the entire industry will probably not be able to match it for a long time, unless... someone more powerful than Zhou Dongsheng personally takes part, then perhaps it will be possible to achieve even better performance.
However, Zhou Dongsheng is currently the center of public opinion, regardless of the old-fashioned topics such as his personal achievements.
The phenomenal popularity brought by "Wolf Warrior 2" alone is enough to temporarily push Zhou Dongsheng to the peak of his reputation.
Although everyone has their own expertise, no matter if they are the top fresh meat in the entertainment industry, or the old superstars, or the successful entrepreneurs who have achieved far more than him...
Perhaps in some aspects, their strengths are far superior to Zhou Dongsheng, but they are definitely not as comprehensive as Zhou Dongsheng at this moment.
To some extent, Zhou Dongsheng at this moment is the perfect hexagonal warrior, a temporary god!
Those who are more successful than him do not have his mass base. Those who are more popular than him are not as successful as him. With such a unique and scarce attribute, there is really no one who can match him in the entire Internet.
Even if Principal Wang came, it wouldn’t be good enough!
It is precisely because of all these objective factors that such a unique live broadcast sales event came about, which not only set an example for the entire industry, but also established a template that is difficult to surpass.
As one of the participants, this is exactly what Li Jiaqi is worried about. It is a blessing to be at the peak of your career upon debut, but if you start to go downhill from then on, you will never be able to surpass this peak in your entire life...
There is no doubt that this will become a flaw that will be criticized, and it is suffocating just to think about it.
Thinking of this, Li Jiaqi couldn't help but glance at Zhou Dongsheng, that figure that seemed to be shining brightly, and he felt inexplicably relieved.
After all, this is Zhou Dongsheng!
If anyone can easily climb over such a high peak, then what kind of peak can it be called?
At least, compared to other climbers, the platform I am on is enough to make my starting point far better than most people, and what I should do is to seize this opportunity!
Some precious experiences can often bring you unprecedented growth in an instant, such as the ups and downs of life, or separation from life and death.
Zhou Dongsheng, who was standing by, naturally didn't know that Li Jiaqi had already completed so much psychological preparation in just a short while.
He still winked at the camera with anticipation, wanting to see what kind of sales record he could create.
In front of the camera, Zhou Dongsheng didn't look pretentious. He casually raised his wrist, revealing his iconic Rolex, and then put on a vague mysterious smile on his face.
"I'll give you one minute. I'll donate as much money as the bags sold today. Whether you can empty my wallet depends on your ability."
Then he slumped down in his seat with a careless look on his face, looking like he really deserved a beating. It was obvious that he didn't need any more words to prepare himself.
It has been said that you should not use your hobby to challenge other people's jobs. In this case, Zhou Dongsheng can only choose to use his own financial ability to cheat.
After all, this is very consistent with his personality, isn't it?
The Rolex has been hidden all night just to shine at this moment.
As expected, Zhou Dongsheng's simple and unpretentious operation instantly detonated the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room. The barrage of comments was like snowflakes all over the sky, causing the live broadcast room to become stuck for a while, and even the server was unable to respond.
At this time, Yang Luyu, who was also watching the live broadcast, couldn't help but feel extremely fortunate that he had made the wise decision to temporarily add a server group to cope with the peak.
Judging from the popularity of this live broadcast, not only did I not overestimate Zhou Dongsheng's popularity, but the actual situation was even slightly beyond my expectations.
At the same time, although various preparations had been made in advance, the instantaneous volume of orders still exceeded the platform's carrying capacity, and many users were unable to complete their orders for a while.
After all, the time limit is only one minute, and with millions of people watching online, the server is already under a lot of load, even if there is a pre-set plan to divert traffic...
Still, it could not withstand the public's enthusiasm for placing orders, and the platform's e-commerce function, which was not yet mature, experienced its biggest test in history.
It is hard to say whether Zhou Dongsheng's wallet can bear it, but many programmers behind him, touching their heads with a chill, trembled and said: I don't know, can I bear it...
However, one minute passed in a flash, and with so many viewers placing orders enthusiastically, the link almost unsurprisingly went down, and the screen was filled with barrages of comments.
“??? Why can’t I place an order?”
"You can't afford it, right? Why don't you let people place orders?"
"It's so funny, this is a trick? The link is down, what's the point of donating?"
The barrage of comments was full of complaints, which instantly changed the rhythm. Zhou Dongsheng looked at the time with a watch, and returned to the camera only when the time was up. Unexpectedly, the screen was full of such barrage of comments.
I couldn't help but laugh and cry, "I'm a grown man after all. I don't play tricks like this. Maybe there are too many people placing orders and the server is overwhelmed."
"Since we've come to this, I'll relax the conditions and set the deadline to 12 o'clock. The final transaction volume will be calculated, including Li Jiaqi's 660,000 bags."
"Everyone, go ahead and call your friends. As long as you dare to place an order, I will take it. I don't believe that you can really sell a quantity that I can't afford!"
Zhou Dongsheng waved his hand generously. However, such a light sentence has already played a role of a thousand gold coins. If he made such a boast and then chose to break his promise...
I’m afraid even Zhou Dongsheng cannot afford the cost of the backlash from public opinion.
However, this kind of behavior is somewhat difficult to understand for ordinary people, especially since Zhou Dongsheng has made so many boasts recently.
First, he admitted that he would donate all the box office revenue of "Wolf Warrior 2", and then he donated the sales of snail noodles. Such a high-profile charity behavior inevitably makes people feel that he is putting on a high-profile show.
However, there is still a basis for complaining about ordinary stars putting on a show, after all, stars can still make a profit from it, but when it comes to Zhou Dongsheng, this seems a bit untenable...
After all, compared to his 10 billion fortune, such a small benefit doesn't seem to be worth all the trouble...
Could it be that Zhou Dongsheng is really just "passionate about charity" and wants to give back to society?
It seems that this is the only reasonable reason. It seems that we are judging others by our own standards.
After such a relaxation, regardless of the server load or the programmers' rescue, the link and ordering functions have finally returned to normal. Although there is no one-minute time limit, it is still difficult to stop the public's enthusiasm for placing orders.
Especially after Zhou Dongsheng made the boast, the sharing of the link to this live broadcast room also spread wildly in an instant using social fission and spread across the entire network.
The promotional effect generated by millions of viewers is that even if the scattered soldiers are gathered together, it is a real million-strong army, and ordinary regular troops have to avoid it.
In return, of course, there has been a crazy increase in the sales of snail noodles. Before we knew it, the sales have exceeded 5 million packs and are still increasing at a visible rate.
Such a huge amount of traffic gathered together, even if you have seen this grand spectacle, you can only sigh and admire the appeal of Zhou Dongsheng.
Looking at the grand scene in the live broadcast room, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but smile knowingly, feeling a sense of accomplishment that his evil plan had succeeded.
It was worth it that I spent so much time and effort to prepare for this live broadcast, and facts have proved that the effect is indeed better than expected.
In addition to promoting Li Jiaqi, this live streaming sales event also played a leading role, allowing more people to notice the existence of the "live streaming sales" cake and attracting more people to participate.
Although as the pie gets bigger, your share will inevitably get smaller, its value will also increase exponentially.
This principle is undoubtedly similar to financing.
What's more, the piece of cake in your hands is very likely to be the biggest one in the entire market !
In addition to this obvious purpose, Zhou Dongsheng actually had another consideration in secret, which was also the main reason why he was willing to go to such great lengths and even personally take part in the action...
That is to bet on the general policy direction in the future.
As the saying goes, where there is demand, there is a market. However, in this small piece of land, is there any demand greater than policy?
As the saying goes, what the country needs is what the heart desires, and the direction of policy is undoubtedly the future. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish!
The top priority in the next few years will undoubtedly be the fight against poverty, and this is something that only China will insist on doing around the world.
No matter how much people complain, I don't think anyone can deny the fact that living conditions have indeed improved significantly in recent years.
Although the benefits of infrastructure are subtle and silent, they have truly benefited everyone, and the title of infrastructure maniac has made him the best in the world.
This is a fact that even the Western world, which is dominated by elite thinking, has to acknowledge.
When it comes to the big cake of dividends of the times, some people will eat more and some will eat less, but everyone can more or less get a share of the dividends of development.
It’s just that being in a pyramid structure, the general public is always accustomed to looking upwards, but often ignores the grassroots that make up the vast majority.
In a country with a population of 1.4 billion, nearly half of the population is hidden under the rolling tide of urbanization. They are often ignored by the mainstream society and become completely voiceless. Only data can give us a glimpse of clues.
With the popularization of mobile Internet, the voice channels of the sinking market have been further opened up, allowing many people to pay attention to the other side of the world and the existence of a large number of compatriots who have never spoken out.
Not speaking out does not mean that something does not exist. Just as behind the cold data that “600 million people have an income of less than 1,000 yuan”, there are also voiceless groups that have never been noticed by the mainstream perspective.
Only the poverty alleviation policy can benefit this group.
A self-deprecating saying that is often circulated on the Internet, "Just staying alive has already taken all my strength, how can I dare to think about anything else?" may be the most true portrayal of this group of people. After all, they don't even have the energy to make fun of themselves.
While Zhou Dongsheng was busy running around and constantly reaping all the benefits of the times, as his position gradually increased, he gradually had his own understanding.
This process is like "seeing a mountain as a mountain", to "seeing a mountain as not a mountain", and then to "seeing a mountain as still a mountain". After experiencing this baptism, Zhou Dongsheng has obviously realized something.
At the beginning, Zhou Dongsheng simply knew that the form of "live streaming with goods" would be popular all over the country in the future, dragging the entire network into the vicious circle of "the end of the universe is live streaming with goods", and even the national team personally came out to help.
As time went by, Zhou Dongsheng gradually understood the logic behind it. What can lead the trend of the times is often what is needed for the development of the times.
After figuring all this out, Zhou Dongsheng's understanding of "live streaming with goods" suddenly became very different.
As the saying goes, those who can enrich others by being rich will never be poor even if they want to.
To put it simply and bluntly, if you treat the family members in the live broadcast room as your own family members, then they will not treat you unfairly (funny).
Perhaps the darlings of the times also carry their own mission of the times.
And just as Zhou Dongsheng thought at the beginning, if he had to give himself a mission for rebirth...
Then the historical turning point two years later may be the time for me to make use of my remaining energy.
If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world.
For no reason, these twelve big words appeared in Zhou Dongsheng's mind.
And now, I have obviously solved the former. As for wanting to reach the height of the latter...
Obviously, Zhou Dongsheng still has a lot to do, and live streaming is just one of the tools that can play an important role!
When wealth accumulates to a certain level, it becomes too boring to just focus on the changes in numbers.
It’s better to do something challenging, and if you do it well...
Not to mention opening a new page in the family tree, even a single book would be out of the question.
From now on, I will be Uncle Sheng.
