Chapter 1309: One Step, One Pitfall (1)

Why is it so expensive?

This is a problem. To be honest, it took Zeng Wangcai quite some effort to set this amount range.

If it is hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even millions of dollars, it is possible that Xiao Ke will choose other ways to pay the money, so that Zeng Wangcai will not be able to obtain the public-to-public payment record.

But it’s a different story when the amount reaches tens of millions. Even if Xiao Ke is willing to find a way, it may not be easy to find a sponsor to pay the money in a hurry.

"Sir, I don't think this price is expensive!" Jenny was in charge of this aspect, and she really wanted to facilitate this deal so as to establish a good relationship with Duying Technology so that her own account could benefit from it. "Take a look at the terms I have negotiated for. All our official accounts can be maintained by their professional services. We don't have to worry about traffic anymore. You should take a look at what data will be recommended to us for each video. Likes are not just plays."

"But 20 million dollars is enough to build a plane." Xiao Ke felt the pain in his heart, "and we don't have the budget for it. I think they are taking advantage of the situation. If we have time, we can find other alternatives."

"No, no, no, sir, you don't seem to have really realized the power of this platform." Jenny continued to fight for it with all her might. "You may be talking about the TV station, but if that's the case, you haven't noticed some data. In fact, the TV station has been gradually replaced. Nowadays, people watch TV less and less, and the way they get information has changed. You can go and see the ratings of TV programs now. They are falling very fast. At least the people around me are now using their mobile phones to get information. When one day the TV station also starts to create official accounts on Duying Technology, the TV station will be even more declining..."

Xiao Ke, who hadn't paid much attention to this, was stunned by these words.

He found it incredible. How long had this platform been around? A year?

Can such a short period of time cause such a big change in people’s habits?

"Sir, I'm afraid what Jenny said is true." Andre thought of his family's situation and smiled bitterly, "My family, my children, and my wife, they all use their mobile phones to get information. I don't know when it started, but our TV hasn't been turned on for a long time."

"Really?" Xiao Ke was a little embarrassed. It was obvious that he had not paid attention to his family affairs.

But after Andre reminded him, a memory emerged. It was when he was with Xiao Lai, and Xiao Lai always used his mobile phone to take pictures and record something.

However, at this time, Xiao Ke did not think about whether it might be recorded by Xiao Lai: "It's only 20 million, which is too much. We don't have the budget. Even if we use other funds, 20 million is a lot at once."

"Sir, it's really worth it. I think the impact of 20 million is greater than that of all the TV stations combined." Jenny made a suggestion. "When I called Taiji of Duying Technology, he was very supportive of our work. You see, he will give us a discount for the 20 million, and we only need to pay 10 or 80 million.

"Also, their event was originally scheduled to be launched later, but in order to support the government, they are willing to not do any commercial preheating and give us priority. This way, we will get the most out of this event, and all traffic resources will be tilted towards us. After individual support is released, we will no longer have such an opportunity. Maybe I can talk to Taiji and ask them to make another concession so that we can pay in installments."

"This is a great idea. You can handle it. The requirements are still the same. It must be completed today."

"Okay sir, you need to give me more authority. I need authorization to ask the Ministry of Finance for money, to use some departments to go through procedures, to sign contracts..."

"No problem. Once you have negotiated, I will personally supervise the process."

Well, the president is going OA, so what's the problem?

It's just a few million dollars.

But despite this, the two parties did not sign the contract until after four in the afternoon, electronically, which was Zeng Wangcai’s “new invention”.

At half past four before five, the three people gathered in the office again, still with those cell phones and still with that desk.

"Hey, the effect is really good. The data is improving at a speed visible to the naked eye."

"Yes, a lot of people liked it, a lot of people commented, and the positive comments far outweighed the negative ones."

“It was well worth the money…”

Public opinion on the Internet seemed to have changed suddenly, and the trend began to turn to the official government account.

The day after signing the contract, Xiao Ke asked those accounts to strike while the iron was hot and publish new works, especially the account "President's Perspective", which published a short and elegant speech by Xiao Ke, expounding on his sense of responsibility to the country and family.

To put it bluntly, it is about establishing a character.

There is no other problem with this video. The only problem is that Xiao Ke implicitly stated in his explanation that this was a rumor spread by some people with ulterior motives, and once again distanced himself from Xiao Lai.

Sometimes drawing a line can be very hurtful, especially when it involves lying.

......

Xiao Lai was holding his cell phone, watching Xiao Ke's speech for the nth time.

She had a cold expression and a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Now the whole network is denouncing Xiao Lai, questioning why she used as someone else's pawn to frame Xiao Ke, cursing her and engaging in all kinds of cyber violence.

But these were not the reasons that made Xiao Lai sad. What made her sad was that in the new works released by Xiao Ke's account, there was not a single word speaking for her.

Thinking of the difference between 50,000 dollars and 1 million dollars, and thinking of the killer, Xiao Lai silently clicked "me" on his mobile phone.

She also has an account and has tens of thousands of fans.

However, she did not use her real information on this account, and all the works she posted previously did not show her face, only beautiful photos and videos below the neck.

Even so, she can still get tens of thousands of fans, which fully illustrates a problem, that is, it is the same in the United States, it is much easier for women to create an account than men.

Xiao Lai wanted to post a video to release the depression in her heart. She opened the album and found it empty except for a long video of an extremely large scale. The photos and short videos she had taken before were gone.

Only then did she remember that she had changed her cell phone.

After thinking for a while, she took out her old cell phone, took out the SIM card, and flipped through the old photos, bit by bit, scene by scene, day and night...

"It's all fucking fake!"

"I think there are doubts about this matter!" Xiao Lai turned on the camera and started recording the video. "Everyone is scolding the woman for the sensational incident involving the President, but have you ever thought about a possibility, why the woman didn't come out to explain? Is it because she feels guilty? Or something else? Do you think there is a possibility... that the woman can't come out to explain..."

No face shown, still no face shown.

After the recording, Xiao Lai hesitated... should he post it or not?
