Chapter 277: So, regarding things on the internet, who can say for sure?

~15 min read 2,831 words

The same question was also shouted out from the mouth of A Fa.

Double Eleven is coming soon, the platform needs traffic, and he, this shopping Anchor, also needs traffic.

Moreover, because of previous incidents involving "fake alcohol" and "fake goods," the rhythm is quite intense right now.

Fortunately, there is one point: he has donated quite a lot of money before, so every time the matter of selling fake goods is brought up, his fans will always chime in with, "They donated money, have you?"

If you haven't donated, don't talk nonsense!

So he wanted to take advantage of this Double Eleven to stir up a wave of rhythm, but unexpectedly, he searched for a long time and couldn't even find a single member of the Internet Water Army.

Some people he had been working with regularly were either inexplicably out of contact or seemed like completely different people.

The posts they originally had on their social media feeds were all deleted, and now they only post things about peaceful and quiet times, which leaves people feeling baffled.

"Wang Ge, there's no way, I can't find the ones who can do the work, and the ones I can find aren't willing to do it. I just said two extra words, and he started accusing me of slandering him..."

The assistant beside him frowned and said.

The shopping Anchor called Wang Ge was naturally A Fa, whose full name is Wang De Fa. He has now grown and strengthened in the live-streaming industry, opened a Company called "Fa Xuan," and even hired Employees.

Of course, while it is said that these Employees are apprentices, everyone actually knows that the apprentices are just working for him.

"Go find a way; we have quite a few orders to fulfill this time."

The assistant nodded, then as if remembering something, hurriedly asked: "By the way, Wang Ge, that bird's nest, are we still doing it?"

"Do it, why wouldn't we? You won't earn money when it's there? What are you thinking!"

The assistant nodded. The words were certainly correct, but that bird's nest... sigh, anyway, it just didn't look like good stuff.

Is an Anchor's live-streaming sales just free labor? You're overthinking it.

Except for companies that have their own Employees do the live-streaming, whenever you hire an internet celebrity or a star to sell goods, there are many tricks to the fees involved.

Let's not even talk about other things; at the very least, you have to pay the slotting fee.

In any case, the goods being sold are always described by the Anchor as being at a "bone-breaking" discount, all benefits they worked hard to secure for the "family members."

Zhou Yi had previously watched some outrageous live streams, such as alcohol claimed to have an original price of 1,988.

Then in his live-streaming room, get on the link, buy a bottle, 88!

Originally, Zhou Mouren felt this price was already a bit outrageous; this wasn't just a bone-breaking discount, this was directly breaking a person's entire body into comminuted fractures.

However, the other party's subsequent actions made him feel that he was a bit naive.

Because that Anchor suddenly pulled out another bottle of alcohol, 88, buy one get one free!

Which is to say, a 1,988 bottle of alcohol, through the Anchor's connections and efforts, you can buy it for 44 a bottle!

What kind of awesome bargaining ability is this? Even Pinduoduo, which claims that 100,000 people can't bargain down a single mobile phone, doesn't have this kind of power!

There are also those who, during live streams, bargain with manufacturers in various ways, saying things like, "Today in my live-streaming room, I must give the family members this benefit."

"I'm asking you if you can agree to this price; even if you can't, you have to."

Then the so-called representative from the manufacturer would start refusing with a mournful face, saying, "Brother, we are losing money at this price..."

In the end, the Anchor buys a luxury house and drives a luxury car, and the merchant makes even more money; anyway, who lost money, we don't know...

To put it bluntly, there are too many fools, and the scammers can't keep up...

Regarding this, Zhou Mouren, who didn't have a system at the time, just wanted to say: life is like a play, it all depends on acting; after all, making money isn't shameful.

Many people who need the Internet Water Army are trying hard to contact them, but no one thinks in other directions because the market has always been like this.

Everyone has already become accustomed to the existence of the Internet Water Army.

Otherwise, do you really think there are so many idiots online? We won't even mention those acting for their idols, as it is true that fan circles produce idiots.

But for a certain product, a certain shopping Anchor's product, people can argue with you for a long time, even quarrel for a long time, and there are quite a few such people; do you think this is a normal phenomenon?

There are also those who argue with you for a Company, and you might even feel that such people are countless.

So, coming back to the point, by comparison, do you think it is "more normal" to block those rude people after an argument, or is it more normal to be the kind of person who defends a certain Company or a certain product even at the cost of one's life and being mocked by the crowd?

When you think you are far away from the Internet Water Army, in fact, your internet life has long been surrounded by the Internet Water Army.

Only when the tide goes out can you know who is swimming naked.

Likewise, when the Internet Water Army experienced a temporary void due to a thunderous crackdown, many people were surprised to find that, in these two days, there seemed to be quite a few fewer idiots online.

At the very least, when you say something, it's not like in the past where someone would always jump out to retort in various ways.

For example, Pinduoduo.

Pinduoduo was sprayed so hard in the comment section of Sina Weibo that it had to close it.

There was no other way; having lost the protection of the Internet Water Army, it finally felt the power of the masses.

To tell the truth, how many people actually like that kind of so-called "slash a knife" viral marketing?

It did burn money at the beginning, and it was indeed very cheap, which was also the attractive part, but with development, slowly, when its competitors also started to pay attention, and when it itself needed to make a profit, the problems emerged.

"Why did you close the comment section? It's the classic 'I cover my eyes, and then no one can scold me,' right?"

"Hey, where are those people who defended it before? Come out! Why aren't you coming to speak for your masters? You even said that A Yi's Legal Aid behavior was a waste of judicial resources; then what should judicial resources be used for?"

"Don't say anything else, look at those inductive words of theirs; isn't this False Propaganda? Why is no one managing it?"

In the face of such overwhelming scolding, the so-called Billion Subsidy and various activities all became reasons for it to be sprayed.

If it were in the past, for this kind of so-called "experimental" review video, Pinduoduo wouldn't say much at all and would directly issue a Lawyer's Letter.

Before Zhou Mouren, there was no shortage of videos on major platforms about bargaining activities, but few could break out of their circles or stir up any waves.

Because before anything could happen, they had already received a Lawyer's Letter, and the videos were taken down.

But Zhou Yi is different; he is an Up Master who has been fighting since the beginning of his transformation.

Even the Legal Department of Pinduoduo said in private discussions that if this person received a Lawyer's Letter, he would treat it directly as waste paper.

So don't even think about scaring him with a Lawyer's Letter; even an Indictment is of no use.

But what to do? Apologize?

This idea was rejected as soon as it was proposed. Just kidding, apologize? Wouldn't that be admitting that there is a problem with the activity algorithm?

But if they admit there is a problem, it can be said that the resulting issues will be even more serious than they are now!

Right now, at most, they are being scolded quite fiercely, then their reputation drops a bit, and even the stock price will be affected.

But it won't shake the foundation, so it's nothing.

Thus, under such circumstances, a strange situation formed online: on one hand, Pinduoduo was being scolded miserably.

Moreover, many celebrities' hundreds of millions of fans seemed quite off; the popularity of the messages posted simply did not match that number of fans.

On the other hand, Pinduoduo started playing dead; no matter how much you scold, I will just continue doing my activities as planned.

We are just cheap, the discounts are big, there will always be people coming to buy; you can scold for this period of time, but you can't scold for a lifetime, right?

Once the next hot topic breaks out, naturally, no one will focus their attention on Pinduoduo anymore.

The only thing left to worry about is that case!

How the case goes is not important; what is important is who the Plaintiff is.

Since it is Zhou Yi, it means they cannot use money to settle, and that Lawyer is also a big-name Lawyer who is famous in the Modu industry.

So they can only drag it out for now.

The onlookers online are naturally not stupid; after scolding and getting no reaction, many of Zhou Yi's viewers began to report the issues to him.

Of course, many people also started to learn from Zhou Yi's previous behavior, using videos as evidence to report Pinduoduo to the Market Supervision Department.

It was just one sentence: is this kind of behavior of theirs False Propaganda, and if so, why is no one managing it!

And in this atmosphere, Yuan Jie, known as one of A Yi's top three die-hard fans, posted a status update.

"Just finished talking on the phone with the Pigeon Spirit; he said to let everyone rest assured, this matter definitely won't be allowed to just drag on like that by the other party."

"He should be posting another video today, let's wait and see."

Once this news was posted, the viewers, including Pusa Xiong, were suddenly excited.

It wasn't excitement for Yuan Jie and Zhou Yi; these two are not on the same path at all, and Yuan Jie had even gone to look for the other party before.

It was mainly the feeling that A Yi, this Pigeon Spirit, was actually so diligent this time?

A Yi was going to post a video today; this news quickly spread to Modu and reached the ears of the relevant companies.

Chengdu's Ah Huang and Xiao Lan, plus a Xiao Di, all widened their eyes at this moment; we are really not gossiping, we just purely want to see what happens to Pinduoduo this time.

Everyone has been roasted by A Yi; why are we living in fear now while you are so comfortable?

Speaking of Big Data Price Discrimination, you are much more powerful than us at this.

In this process of being watched by everyone, Zhou Yi's new video was finally posted.

Pusa Xiong was lying on the sofa, boredly scrolling through videos.

He had refreshed countless times this afternoon, just waiting for the video.

He really wanted to know how A Yi would handle this matter!

According to previous habits, one event would usually get two videos, so the first one had already been posted; was he going to go for a brutal kill this time?

It's just that he couldn't think of any way to make a brutal kill, unless the relevant departments took action.

But A Yi is just an internet celebrity; how could he have the ability to make the relevant departments take action?

As a result, after another casual refresh, Pusa Xiong saw that little red dot; holy crap, it updated!

He hurriedly clicked in to look at the title, and Pusa Xiong was stunned there.

This actually wasn't about Pinduoduo!

The title was: Someone says Internet Water Army isn't breaking the law? Look here, they are all people who are very "criminal"!

Weren't we dealing with the Pinduoduo matter? How did it inexplicably turn into Internet Water Army now?

Although he felt a bit speechless inside, it was A Yi's video after all, so Pusa Xiong still subconsciously clicked in.

"How is it? Seeing this title, do you feel very surprised? Surprised is right; I am just such a man you can't guess."

To be fair, after hearing this sentence, Pusa Xiong's face started to turn black; he just wanted to rush to Jingzhou and beat A Yi up!

But thinking about it, A Yi has Fang Dazhuang, so forget it...

"Alright, hello everyone, my dear viewers, I am your old friend A Yi. There are always people on the internet saying, 'Internet Water Army isn't breaking the law, so why are so many people scolding?'"

"Alright, so does the Internet Water Army actually break the law? Today, let's make it clear to everyone once and for all."

Seeing this, many of Zhou Yi's viewers, including Pusa Xiong, couldn't bear to watch anymore; at such a critical juncture, you post a video, and it turns out to be a legal education video about the Internet Water Army?

But this was A Yi's video after all, so they could only bite the bullet and keep watching.

"Let's not listen to me talk first; let's first watch some exciting videos!"

Hearing this sentence, Pusa Xiong didn't hesitate at all and started typing to prepare to post a bullet comment.

As a result, the next second, the scene that flashed in the video made Pusa Xiong freeze.

At a glance, one could tell it was a video shot by a Law Enforcement Recorder; many police comrades in police uniforms were going upstairs, seemingly to carry out an arrest mission.

Holy crap, such exciting content?

Isn't this more intense than Boruto?

And subconsciously, Pusa Xiong thought of a certain person, the man who became famous all over the internet for "the bullets are already fully loaded."

And just when everyone thought he was a serious person, he became the "Papaya Thief"...

In the video, it could be seen that it was an office building.

The Elevator opened, people with a Mosaic appeared, both sides were talking, and some dialogue could be heard quite clearly.

But everyone became more and more confused; what exactly was going on?

And as those police comrades entered the Company to catch the people and started asking those questions, these viewers suddenly realized: this was actually catching the Internet Water Army!

So the Internet Water Army really was committing crimes!

And at this very moment, in the Imperial Capital, inside Liu Qiang's former Company, the colleague who had chatted with Liu Qiang was watching the video.

He could also be considered one of Zhou Mouren's viewers; they knew Liu Qiang had been arrested on the day of the raid.

However, as for the specific situation, they all avoided it when people were questioning, so they didn't know what the problem was either.

As it turned out, today he saw the Company he worked for right here.

It was a case of the gossip reaching his own doorstep.

He had originally thought Liu Qiang had committed some offense, but he never expected that this was a leader of an Internet Water Army!

He hadn't been able to tell; the other party had always been very honest, yet he was actually the author of that article, "Beware of those who, in the name of being serious, do things that make them walking five-hundred-thousand-yuan bounties."

At the time, after reading that article, he had even thought it was absurd; what was wrong with people these days? A Yi's way of being serious was all within the framework of the law; if that made him a five-hundred-thousand-yuan bounty, then what could be said about others?

As it turned out, he never expected that the guy who was called a five-hundred-thousand-yuan bounty was perfectly fine, while the one who wrote the article was actually a big leader of an Internet Water Army!

Today's first chapter for sleep aid, there is one more chapter; I'm going home tomorrow, and I should be able to resume normal updates; I won't be sent on business trips for the time being... probably, thanks for the next chapter.
