The city's number one tycoon

Chapter 508

"Come, sit down, and tell me your thoughts!" Ma Yunteng smiled slightly. He had recently been reading Chu Jiang Pipi Shrimp's novel, "The Number One Tycoon in the City," and noticed that this kid seemed to have been quite diligent these past few days, so he had a good impression of him.

"My idea is actually very simple! It's just to ride the wave of Taobao's popularity!" Chu Jiang Pipi Shrimp said with a mysterious smile!

Well!

Ma Yunteng was slightly taken aback. This kid was full of mischief, actually trying to ride on someone else's coattails! But it didn't matter much! As long as the method worked! Then Ma Yunteng jokingly asked, "Tell everyone the specific details!"

"Um!"

Chu Jiang Pipi Shrimp nodded and continued, "As everyone knows, the Lunar New Year is less than a month away, right? And everyone is starting to collect the Five Blessings again, right?"

Chu Jiang Pipi Shrimp was keeping everyone in suspense, and everyone nodded at him in astonishment.

"Taobao's annual 'Collect Five Blessings' activity has brought it tremendous attention! But Taobao is dishonest. Many people collect all five blessings, but the best they get is only a few cents! The luckiest might get a few dollars! Only the extremely lucky, one in ten thousand, can get twenty or thirty dollars! Taobao has gained such strong attention with just a few hundred million dollars of investment, and there is a certain principle behind it! Its principle is to take advantage of people's desire for small gains and their desire for entertainment!"

"And then?" Ma Yunteng was completely confused.

"Then we can imitate and use this method!" Chu Jiang Pipi Shrimp said casually.

"Still collecting five blessings?" Zhao Peng clicked his tongue, feeling that these descriptions were unreliable. What's the point of you doing the same thing that other people are doing?

"NONONO!"

Chu Jiang Pipi Shrimp smiled mysteriously, shook his finger, and said, "Why collect five blessings? What's the point of so many blessings? Let's collect something special! We can collect five characters! And if we collect all five characters, we can get a cash reward! Of course, we can also choose not to get the cash reward and participate in the next round of even bigger prize draws!"

Collect five characters?

Everyone was taken aback.

interesting.

"So what are the five characters? And if you collect all five characters, how much money are you planning to give them?" Zhao Peng asked again.

"Just give me fifty yuan if I collect all five characters! That's not bad! For us writers, we might not even earn fifty yuan after a whole day of writing!" Chu Jiang Pipi Shrimp said seriously, "As for which five characters to collect... hehe, I think these five characters should be: Ma Yunteng is the most handsome!"

Whoosh!

A burst of applause erupted from the audience!

This is some serious flattery!

Upon hearing this, Ma Yunteng couldn't help but slap his thigh: "I admire those of you who like to tell the truth the most!"

Chapter 381 Ali Kaka [1st Update]

"Chujiang mantis shrimp, truly delicious!"

Upon hearing Ma Yunteng's words, Chu Jiang Pipi Shrimp froze on the spot... This was practically a joke on him! If this were to actually happen, he would become famous throughout the country.

"I object!" Chu Jiang Pipi Shrimp directly refused.

"Well, objection overruled." Ma Yunteng smiled slightly: "Since this idea came from you, then I'll make you famous for once!"

Zhao Peng was stunned. "Boss, what are you thinking? This is all so confusing!"

The other executives nodded, indicating that they didn't understand what Ma Yunteng meant. Before the meeting, he said that he would build an e-commerce platform that could beat Taobao within a month. How did it end up being associated with Chujiang Mantis Shrimp?

"Chaos, huh? Let me sort it out for you!" Ma Yunteng laughed heartily. "Our goal is to take down Taobao. To achieve this, we'll focus on two key areas! First, establishing a supersonic drone logistics system! I have my own plans for that, so you don't need to worry about it! The second, naturally, is to build a platform with massive user base! To successfully attract traffic in the early stages, we'll implement a simple and direct promotional method!"

After a pause, Ma Yunteng continued, "This promotional method involves a word-collecting activity! As long as customers shop on our platform, they have a chance to collect a word. Once they collect all five words, 'Ma Yunteng is really handsome,' they can directly receive a reward of 10,000 RMB! And this money can be withdrawn directly by the customer!"

After taking a sip of tea, Ma Yunteng continued, "However, this will create a problem. When the customer receives the 10,000 yuan, out of a desire to get a good deal, they will most likely withdraw it immediately! This won't have a very good advertising effect! So, before the withdrawal, we need to use technology to set up a withdrawal barrier for them. This barrier is that they must use AR voice recognition to shout the five words 'Ma Yunteng is so handsome' at a high decibel!"

Upon hearing this, a comical image immediately flashed through everyone's minds: the entire nation of China was going crazy, shouting "Ma Yunteng is so handsome!" After all, the 10,000 yuan could be directly cashed out simply by using AR voice recognition to detect the decibel level!

"However! Am I the kind of person who gets carried away just because someone praises me?" Seeing everyone's speechless expressions, Ma Yunteng immediately explained, "I agreed to this word-collecting promotion plan not so that others would praise me! To maximize the promotional effect, the next promotional method is the most important!"

Everyone pricked up their ears and looked at Ma Yunteng with serious expressions.

"After customers collect all five characters, they can choose to withdraw the prize directly or participate in the next round of collecting seven characters! The prize money for the second round is tentatively set at 10 billion! It will be shared by 1,000 people! To participate in the second round of collecting characters, you must team up with your relatives and friends. This way, our character collection activity can achieve explosive publicity!"

Everyone nodded instantly.

Ma Yunteng has already made it very clear.

No wonder they set up a second round of character collection, with 1,000 people sharing 10 billion? What does that even mean? If you can collect all seven characters in the second round, you'll instantly become a multi-millionaire!

It must be admitted that this kind of temptation is simply too great for ordinary people!

Obviously, among those who have collected all five characters, many will definitely choose to introduce this event to their friends! They'll do everything they can to collect all seven characters and share in 10 billion!

This promotional tactic will undoubtedly attract significant attention in China, thereby successfully driving traffic to the platform!

“Boss, there’s still one problem!” Zhao Peng had been taking notes of what Ma Yunteng was saying, but he noticed a loophole: “Regarding the first round of the character collection activity, how many people will actually be able to collect all five characters? You know, 10,000 per person is a very large sum of money!”

Zhao Peng is right. Assuming this traffic generation directly attracts 100 million users, does that mean the first round of the word collection activity will have to give away 1 trillion? That's just too exaggerated!

"Hmm! Wouldn't that solve the problem?" Ma Yunteng chuckled. "Collecting five blessings only involves hundreds of millions of people sharing five hundred million yuan each year, and there's only five hundred million yuan in total. We'll give away five hundred million yuan every day until a full month is up!"

After saying this, Ma Yunteng lit a cigarette and took a long drag. "Giving away 500 million a day, that's 15 billion a month, right? Hmm, not bad! Not too much!"

Wow!

The hall fell into a deathly silence! Incredulous expressions appeared on everyone's faces.
