Qing Shan Qu Zui
Chapter 232 The Legendary Online Brigade
Once the "bonuses based on word-of-mouth" rule is set, the business direction of both the games department and the short video department at Fei Huang Workshop will definitely undergo some adjustments.
However, in the near future, there is still a high probability that Fei Huang Workshop will get endorsement deals.
Therefore, Pei Qian felt that he could consider "helping" Fei Huang Workshop, making them realize the disadvantages of endorsements, letting them see the voice of the masses, so as to smoothly complete the transition from making profits to building a good reputation.
As the saying goes, no rain, no rainbow. Flowers in a greenhouse cannot succeed easily...
Ahem, well, actually Pei Qian simply wanted them to take fewer endorsements, after all, there were only two months left before the settlement. For the special rewards from the system, he absolutely couldn't afford any mistakes!
As for how to do it specifically...
Pei Qian silently logged into Aili Island and sent a private message to a content creator called "Xiao Hu Reviews."
After the last incident, Pei Qian had roughly guessed that this Xiao Hu Reviews was not one to be trifled with.
Whether it was taking endorsements or messing with people, they had their own methods.
Pei Qian would never believe that a content creator like this didn't know any online marketing accounts.
He had written it down in his little notebook in advance so that he could use it now.
Pei Qian used the "Hardcore Reviews" Aili Island account to send the message, and also created a separate account on the messaging app. This matter definitely had to be done secretly, so that no one would know.
Soon, Xiao Hu Reviews replied to the private message, and the two added each other as contacts.
Over there, Hu Xiao didn't expect that the "Hardcore Reviews" content creator would actually contact him.
Although Hu Xiao had suffered quite a bit from "Hardcore Reviews" in the last incident, he also knew that this was mostly a coincidence. "Hardcore Reviews" releasing the third video wasn't intentionally targeting him.
So Hu Xiao didn't hold a grudge, but instead, with the mindset of making friends, he added Pei Qian's alternate account.
As the saying goes, rivals in the same trade are enemies. Hu Xiao didn't get along with other professional review agencies. Sometimes when they took endorsements from different manufacturers, they would inevitably bash each other, and the atmosphere was full of gunpowder.
But in Hu Xiao's opinion, "Hardcore Reviews" was, after all, a new content creator. Although the number of followers had been growing quite fast recently, in terms of size, it was still a junior among juniors.
What's more, the program style of "Hardcore Reviews" didn't pose any competitive threat to "Xiao Hu Reviews". On the contrary, there was some potential for them to complement each other.
Judging from the program style of "Hardcore Reviews," this content creator not only didn't seem to be taking endorsements, but also seemed to have plenty of money. One review involved smashing a four or five thousand yuan phone. How could a general review agency do that?
In short, he couldn't be ignored!
In addition, Hu Xiao didn't rule out the possibility that the other party was there to buy online marketing accounts.
He had a large number of contacts for such accounts, and he often connected other content creators on Aili Island with these accounts. This wasn't a big secret in the industry. Perhaps this "Hardcore Reviews" content creator was introduced by someone?
Soon, the friend request was accepted.
Pei Qian thought for a while and asked, "I want to target a competitor, can you help me?"
Hu Xiao didn't say much, and immediately sent a price list.
Pei Qian quickly scanned the price list.
Wow, what an array!
Basic Followers: 10 yuan for 1000, 40 yuan for 5000, 70 yuan for 10000, filler followers, won't unfollow.
Advanced Followers: 12 yuan for 1000... a small number have avatars and information.
Top Real Person Followers: 10 yuan for 400... permanent quality, real person activity.
High-Quality Active Followers: 10 yuan for 300... comes with 2-digit+ followers, not blocked.
Reposts, Comments, Likes:
Bulk Reposts 2 yuan for 100.
High-Quality Reposts 13 yuan for 100... 100 yuan for 1000.
There are also bulk comments, high-quality comments, bulk likes, high-quality likes, etc.
In short, they are divided into many levels, and discounts are available for large quantities.
In addition, there are also packages, such as fan packages, which help mix fans of different levels and then give a discount, so that the effect of buying fans is more realistic.
This is the price list for Weibo, and below it is the one for Aili Island.
Including clicks, barrages, comments, number of fans, etc., all with clearly marked prices.
However, the prices on Aili Island are obviously higher than on Weibo. He didn't know if it was because the review mechanism was stricter here, or because the online marketing account business on the new website was not yet mature.
Seeing this price list, Pei Qian realized that buying online marketing accounts actually seemed cheaper than he had imagined.
Now it seemed that spending a few hundred or a thousand yuan on a package could buy hundreds of comments, and even the number of likes for the comments could be bought together.
Of course, Pei Qian didn't plan to buy online marketing accounts to do bad things, such as smearing other brands, insulting or personally attacking others, or distorting the truth to mislead consumers...
Pei Qian didn't plan to do any of these things.
"I want to buy some comments and likes, get a package."
Pei Qian didn't act as generous as he had before, because... the system wouldn't reimburse him.
Without a legitimate reason, Pei Qian couldn't use the company's account to pay Hu Xiao, he could only pay out of his own pocket.
Fortunately, Pei Qian wasn't so poor now. Buying some comments and likes, spending a thousand yuan, wasn't completely unacceptable.
If this thousand yuan could reduce the number of endorsements Fei Huang Workshop took, reducing their income by one or two million, then it would be very worthwhile!
Of course, Pei Qian also knew that the chances of success weren't very high, but it wouldn't hurt to try for a thousand yuan.
Hu Xiao saw that business had really come!
"No problem, our online marketing accounts are well-trained and will definitely complete the task perfectly! Are you planning to buy comments for your own account?"
Pei Qian: "No, buy comments for other accounts. Search for the account 'Fei Huang Workshop,' they will be releasing a review video soon. When the time comes, post a few comments under the video, the content of the comments is all the same: 'I've used it, this thing is very useful, highly recommended.'"
Hu Xiao sent a "subway, old man, phone" emoticon.
Then he sent a "confused black guy" emoticon.
What did this mean?
It was the first time he had seen someone buy online marketing accounts like this!
The content of the comments was all the same, wasn't this hinting to other passers-by that they were online marketing accounts? Only a fool wouldn't be able to tell!
But Hu Xiao was so smart, he instantly understood.
Oh! This was reverse marketing, suppressing the competition!
It seemed that this "Hardcore Reviews" was definitely not a newbie, but an expert!
With the changes in the online environment, the business level of online marketing accounts was also constantly improving.
In the past, netizens were easy to fool, but now it's not possible. Everyone knows that online marketing accounts exist, so using them to post comments requires concealment and authenticity. They have to be disguised as real people, and can't be exposed.
Of course, this was all for posting comments for themselves.
In addition, there was also a high-end way to use online marketing accounts, which was reverse marketing!
Post for the competition, deliberately posting something very idiotic, so as to create a feeling for onlookers that the competition hired low-level online marketing accounts.
High!
And Hu Xiao looked at this sentence again, and grasped a new key piece of information.
Fei Huang Workshop was also going to do reviews?
He knew Fei Huang Workshop. After all, when *President Pei's Daily Life* entered Aili Island, it was also on the homepage recommendation for a period of time.
It was just that later, Fei Huang Workshop didn't update *President Pei's Daily Life* anymore. After posting an episode of a documentary, they disappeared for a while.
Were they preparing for a comeback?
And were they planning to do a review show?
Hu Xiao was also a little worried.
Because Fei Huang Workshop obviously belonged to the regular army, and looked like they had plenty of money. If they also came to do reviews, then they would most likely steal the rice bowl of "Xiao Hu Reviews."
Although he didn't know where this "Hardcore Reviews" content creator got the news from, it seemed that this matter was very likely to be true.
It was something to be desired for others to pay online marketing accounts to help suppress their competitors!
Hu Xiao even wanted to add his own money and buy more online marketing accounts.
But after thinking about it, it was not necessary. After all, Fei Huang Workshop's review show hadn't even come out yet, and hadn't yet posed a threat to his business. There was no need to rush.
When assigning tasks to the online marketing accounts, he could rely on his influence to let them post a few more comments, which could be considered suppressing a potential competitor.
"No problem!"
Hu Xiao agreed immediately.
