Chapter 717 Another Year of Recruitment Season
The very beginning of the live broadcast was just a simple summary.
But next, each item would be introduced in detail, especially the potential harm that these toxic and harmful substances could cause to health.
Among these products, some were no-name, three-no products (no production date, no manufacturer, no ingredients), but with corresponding sales channels; others were branded, and Ma Yang frankly stated the brand names without any concealment.
Soon, the barrage in the live broadcast room completely changed.
At first, everyone had a "watching the excitement," "not my problem" attitude, but gradually, the barrages all became serious.
"So, Boss Ma isn't advertising, he's exposing these fake and shoddy products?"
"?? My kid uses that eraser!"
"There are big brands in here, the ones that sell well both online and in stationery stores near schools, and they're completely substandard?"
"These are all strong carcinogens, and they're for kids! Do these merchants have any basic principles?"
"Boss Ma seems to have done a lot of preparation. Thanks to Boss Ma for exposing these garbage products!"
The barrage viewers originally had no interest in Ma Yang's live broadcast content.
Who wants to watch someone promoting pencils and erasers? There aren't any elementary school students in this live broadcast room.
Moreover, most people subconsciously felt that pencils, erasers, book covers, and solid glue, even if the prices were different and the quality varied, the differences wouldn't be too big.
Even if it were promotion, everyone certainly wouldn't go online to buy these things.
But the audience didn't expect that Boss Ma wasn't selling goods at all, he was clearly fighting fakes!
Moreover, whether they were no-name brands or major brands with high market share in the domestic stationery market, he was all being factual, treating them equally, and speaking frankly!
Selling goods isn't interesting, but fighting fakes is!
A small number of people in the live broadcast room had children who needed to use these stationery items for school. When they heard that these stationery items all contained excessive amounts of toxic and harmful substances, they became extremely anxious. While most people didn't have a direct vested interest in this matter, the issue of toxic stationery was naturally easy to provoke everyone's indignation.
It would be one thing if the quality was a little worse or the price was a little higher, but these things that cost a few cents or a few dollars are cutting corners and endangering children's health?
Is that something a human being could do?
"Support Boss Ma!"
"Did anyone record the screen? Post it online! Let's expose these black-hearted, unscrupulous merchants!"
"Is Boss Ma's conclusion reliable? Does it feel a bit alarmist? These big-brand products are so expensive, but they're actually not much different from no-name products? It's a bit subversive..."
"Boss Ma has ready-made test reports, he must have tested them carefully!"
"I'm a fan of Boss Ma!"
"I used to think that Boss Ma was just throwing money around on Weibo, but now it seems that Boss Ma is not only an investor driven by interest, a fulfiller of ordinary people's dreams, but also the nemesis of fake and shoddy products! I will never miss a single one of Boss Ma's live broadcasts in the future!"
"Boss Ma is too hardcore, a real man!"
As Ma Yang's live broadcast continued, the number of barrages in the live broadcast room increased more and more densely.
Pei Qian looked at the dense barrages in Ma Yang's live broadcast room on his phone, speechless for a moment.
What the hell…
The development of the situation completely exceeded Pei Qian's expectations. He originally thought, wasn't it just exposing a few poor-quality school supplies? How could anyone watch this kind of content?
But he didn't expect that the content of this episode would have such a good response!
On closer thought, this was mainly because he had made an assumption.
Pei Qian, like many viewers, subconsciously thought that pencils, erasers, plastic book covers, solid glue, and the like, even if the quality was a little worse, how bad could they be?
As a result, when the test report came out, he realized that his imagination clearly couldn't keep up with the moral bottom line of these manufacturers.
It was precisely because these things didn't seem worth much money and were too common in daily life that the exposure of such serious quality problems, which seriously endangered the health of students, made people feel genuinely indignant!
Pei Qian felt a little uneasy.
It seemed that Old Ma's "reverse sales" live broadcast was off to a good start!
"Could it be that Old Ma can really become an internet celebrity?"
"This is too magical realism, right?"
"No, calm down, things shouldn't have developed to such a bad point yet..."
After careful consideration, Pei Qian decided to wait and see.
Because this matter had only just begun, the further it went, the greater the resistance and the more problems there would be.
This was only the first episode, and the manufacturers that Ma Yang exposed were completely unprepared.
But as Ma Yang exposed more and more problematic manufacturers, they would definitely gradually unite to find ways to retaliate and take some measures.
Moreover, most people's anger came quickly and went quickly.
For ordinary people, the desire to spend money and buy, buy, buy was endless. Those real sales anchors had strong fan loyalty, and viewers would watch them from time to time, even if they didn't buy anything, they would still learn about the products.
But most people couldn't pay attention to the exposure of fake and shoddy products every day, and would only pay attention when they really needed them.
Ma Yang's start was good, but it wasn't necessarily sustainable. Maybe the live broadcast would suddenly fail after a month or two?
That was very possible!
Because the content that Ma Yang provided to the audience was actually relatively easy to become aesthetically tiring. The first time you watched it, it felt new, but after watching it too much, it became uninteresting.
Moreover, what Ma Yang was doing now was the right thing.
These toxic and harmful products were like formaldehyde rooms, which Pei Qian had always loathed. Since what Old Ma was doing now could protect the interests of ordinary consumers and protect their health, then it was meaningful.
Even if it might make some money, Pei Qian could tolerate it.
What's more, the possibility of making money still didn't seem high at the moment.
Pei Qian had already instructed him to never accept any money from manufacturers.
Regardless of whether the manufacturer wanted them to say good things, bad things, or not comment, they couldn't accept the money.
From the current point of view, although Ma Yang's live broadcast room had gained a certain amount of popularity and traffic, there was still no possibility of making a profit.
Therefore, although Ma Yang's "reverse sales" live broadcast was considered a good start, Pei Qian didn't ask him to stop, but decided to let Ma Yang do it for a while longer and observe.
Soon, the live broadcast ended.
Ma Yang finally finished reading the script, gave the camera a slight smile with his long face, and said, "Okay, that's it for today's live broadcast, see you next time!"
After ending the live broadcast, Ma Yang took a glass of water from Chen Yufeng, took two sips, and then couldn't wait to ask, "How was it, Brother Qian? Did I perform well?"
Pei Qian nodded: "Yes, keep up the good work!"
…
At the same time, a hotel in Jingzhou City.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time for another Tengda recruitment season.
Wu Bin and other colleagues from the Human Resources Department were helping to maintain order at the examination site.
Wu Bin's biggest feeling was that more and more people were taking the Tengda entrance exam!
The number of applicants was increasing, so the number of examination venues that had to be arranged was also increasing, and the cost of the entire recruitment season was also increasing.
As a result, the twice-yearly Tengda recruitment season had become one of the important tasks of the Human Resources Department and the Administration Department, and it always required a month or two of intensive preparation in advance.
This time, Tengda had booked more than a dozen large banquet halls in hotels in Jingzhou as examination venues, and Wu Bin was responsible for maintaining order in one of the examination rooms.
At noon, many candidates from out of town returned to their rooms to rest, but some candidates stayed in the examination room, reading and doing problems diligently.
Many Moyu Takeaway delivery guys rushed to deliver the lunches that the candidates had ordered.
Many candidates from out of town took this opportunity to taste what the very famous Moyu Takeaway tasted like.
Wu Bin wandered around the examination room aimlessly, originally just walking around, but suddenly noticed that one of the candidates had several books on their desk.
"Detailed Explanation of Tengda Entrance Examination Past Papers."
"Tengda Entrance Examination All-Purpose Treasure Book."
"Predictions of Professional Knowledge Questions for Various Positions in the Tengda Entrance Examination."
Wu Bin couldn't help but be stunned.
"Tengda entrance exam tutorial books?"
