Chapter 212: Watching others make money is more painful than losing money yourself

After coming out of the meeting room, Lin Yi and his team deliberately took a walk around the factory.

At this time, Feng Yi couldn't help but ask Lin Yi about the seemingly unnecessary request that the other party had just made in the conference room.

"Boss, why did you give me such special instructions just now?"

Luo Ye had the same doubt. Based on his understanding of Lin Yi, he knew that Lin Yi would never do anything meaningless.

Everything he says and does has an intention and a reason.

Lin Yi didn't keep them in suspense and told them directly.

"Our 'Geek' car company seems to have emerged out of nowhere, and is completely different from GM, Volkswagen and other large and established companies."

"When they release a new car, naturally someone will pay for it, and some will even rush to buy it as soon as possible, but we don't have this advantage."

Luo Ye naturally understood after hearing this, but he still had some confusion: "So we are already preparing for the promotion, but why did you specifically remind me? Are you afraid of something?"

"It's different now than before. Internet channels are more developed, and some people make a living by relying on traffic. Once a car is sold, someone will definitely start doing so-called civilian collision tests and safety tests. If something unexpected happens, it will be a fatal blow."

Lin Yi knew some people too well. Some people with jealousy problems don’t mind being poor, but they feel very uncomfortable when they see others making money, which is even more uncomfortable than losing money themselves.

There is also a saying: Good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide.

They hope that the geek’s car will have some problems, and then they will publicize it extensively so that all the traffic will go to them.

"No, these people don't have any professional equipment or the qualifications to conduct tests. How can they conduct so-called safety tests?"

Luo Ye and Feng Yi both didn't understand. In their opinion, these people didn't have the qualifications at all.

"Besides, since we are able to produce and sell it, it must have passed the inspections of the state and higher authorities. What else is there to test?"

Lin Yi smiled and spread his hands: "If you ask me, I don't know, but there are people who do this, and you can't do anything about it."

"The tests are all good, but I'm afraid some people will deliberately smear it. If there is no problem, they will find fault with it and then exaggerate it. Once it is spread online, some people will follow suit."

"Isn't this a fucking rumor? Don't these people fear death?"

"Hey! He's really not afraid. There are so many fools who don't have brains and just follow the crowd protecting him. What is he afraid of?"

Lin Yi waved his hand, indicating that he could not continue talking as he could not finish.

Sometimes the greatest difficulties are not natural disasters but man-made disasters.

"Feng Yi, just keep busy with your own things. We will handle the publicity and promotion ourselves."

Lin Yi and Luo Ye got in the car and returned to the city center.

"I didn't expect that the means of backstabbing people have become like this."

Luo Ye is a rich young man, so he naturally knows that it is not uncommon for shady tactics and manipulation to occur behind the scenes in business wars.

Only after hearing what Lin Yi said did he realize that with the development of the Internet, these methods have begun to improve to the point where they can use the Internet to quickly control the direction of public opinion.

"So as the press conference approaches, demons and monsters will gradually pop up."

Lin Yi also has a countermeasure, he can also use the power of the Internet.

“How’s the promotional video going?”

“It should be finished by next week.”

"Well, at the end of this month, you can use the official accounts of various platforms to publish, and then start buying traffic exposure. I will take care of the rest."

Lin Yi didn't know much about promotional videos, posters, etc. He didn't understand design either.

These make Luo Ye, a serious rich young man, more suitable for the job, and the effect will be better.

It is his job to deal with those rumors afterwards.

After returning home, Lin Yi was not in a hurry and lay down on the sofa to rest, waiting until Luo Qinghan came back.

"Why are you back so early? Didn't you say you would be busy next week?"

Luo Qinghan looked at Lin Yi's leisurely appearance and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

"Await your return."

When Lin Yi saw Luo Qinghan coming back, he also sat up.

"wait for me?"

Luo Qinghan was a little confused. He had been avoiding me for the past few days, so why was he waiting for me now?

But she soon lost it.

Because Lin Yi was waiting for her because he needed her help with something.

"You said you want ten college students who want to work part-time but haven't found a job yet?"

"Yes, it's best to ask people who like to browse short videos or Weibo. Just tell them that their job is just to browse videos and read Weibo."

"what???"

Luo Qinghan thought he had heard it wrong, but Lin Yi nodded in confirmation.

"Why do you want them to do this? Is this considered part of their job?"

It was the first time that Luo Qinghan heard such a strange request.

"It's hard to explain right away. Please help me tell the class group if anyone wants to make some pocket money. It can be done right in the dormitory."

After all, the promotion has not started yet, and Lin Yi can’t explain it clearly for the time being.

But Luo Qinghan frowned: "You explain first, I can't let my students do something immoral."

"Don't worry, I promise and swear that this is absolutely a just thing to do."

But Luo Qinghan still didn't believe it, because Lin Yi had cheated others too many times.

Helpless, Lin Yi had to talk about his thoughts in a long voice.

He recruited these ten people so that when the "Geek" promotional video is released, he would let them spend more time watching short videos and Weibo to see what negative comments there are.

Every time you find one, you get ten dollars.

Anyway, I just watch videos, so this part-time job is basically free money.

The reason why Lin Yi only required ten people was to prevent too many people from cheating and fleecing him.

"That's unnecessary. If there are negative comments about a new product, isn't that normal? If there's no disturbance at all, that actually speaks volumes."

Luo Qinghan felt that this was unnecessary. Sometimes negative information could also prove the popularity and level of discussion.

I’m afraid that if there’s no heat and no discussion at all, it will be the end of me.

This is naturally one of the reasons, but Lin Yi still insisted on letting Luo Qinghan speak, and there was no harm in that.

"I won't process the collected information for the time being. I'll look at it later when there's more. Sometimes some of the information is sent out at the instigation of someone behind the scenes."

"Ah? Not really. You guys have just started. It's not necessary for someone to start right now, right?"

Luo Qinghan couldn't help but feel a little nervous after hearing this. Who could be so cruel that he disliked Lin Yi and the others so much and wanted to strangle them to death in the cradle right at the beginning?

Lin Yi smiled faintly and said, "It has been a long time. I encountered obstacles when I went to get the approval document. Later, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I asked my father to come forward and solved it immediately."

"what?"
