Chapter 204
Mr. Adams frowned and began to think about the plan Qin Shaoyan said.
Then he said slowly: "This challenge is not mandatory. The other party can completely ignore it. After all, the rich don't have time to play this boring game."
"That's okay too. " Qin Shaoyan still said very confidently, "I said, as long as there are more people participating, it doesn't matter whether they participate or not. "
"The real power of the Ice Bucket Challenge lies in its viral spread. , spread continuously through interpersonal circles, forming a snowball effect.”
"The snowball will get bigger and bigger. The more generations it spreads, the larger the number of people affected. Even if it spreads throughout the United States, it won't take long."
"The more people know, the more people will be affected." The bucket challenge will become more famous."
Qin Shaoyan said with a smile: "Mr. Adams, you can imagine how famous this will be as the initiator of the event."
< br>Adams nodded involuntarily. As long as it spread throughout the United States, no matter how boring this activity is, it can still gain a certain amount of fame.
This should be enough for Raymond. As long as he gets famous, many other things will be easy to handle.
Qin Shaoyan continued, "Of course, the operation here also requires a little skill, otherwise the spread of fame will be limited."
"The Ice Bucket Challenge is very easy to be backward compatible at the beginning, but it is difficult to make upwards, which is also very difficult. Normal. ”
“So our plan is to start with ordinary people, hire a few people to participate at the beginning, and then upload videos, and then find a few Internet celebrities to fuel the fire.”
“ The next step is to build public opinion, promote the Ice Bucket Challenge into a popular culture, and actively call on young people to participate.” Will compete to imitate.”
"Once the popularity ferments, people will immediately follow the trend and take advantage of the popularity."
"At least some small stars will also participate, and then some more famous stars will be coerced to donate their love."
Adams nodded in agreement. The ice bucket challenge has become a fashion. There is definitely no shortage of celebrities who are popular. Even some politicians such as congressmen and mayors will take part in it in order to show their closeness to the people.
After all, the rules of this Ice Bucket Challenge are simple and the threshold for getting started is low, making it easy to imitate.
If things have developed to this point, it doesn't matter whether those rich people are involved or not. It's just the icing on the cake.
Therefore, the feasibility of Mr. Qin’s proposal is still very high.
Adams looked at Qin Shaoyan and said very sincerely: "Mr. Qin, how much money do you need, please give me a price."
Qin Shaoyan smiled softly, "This is not a question of money, Mr. Adams "
"Just for the Ice Bucket Challenge, I spent tens of millions of dollars to build a website for uploading and streaming videos."
"The rest. The cost of publicity and campaigning will also be no less than tens of millions of dollars.”
Adams was surprised. He didn't expect Qin Shaoyan to invest so much in this seemingly simple plan.
It’s not that his family can’t come up with the money, but such a large sum of money is just to build publicity for Raymond, so that’s definitely not going to work.
“This activity cannot be separated from the support of connections.” Qin Shaoyan said lightly, “Mr. Adams, if you really want to help, then try your best to mobilize your connections and relationships to carry out this challenge. In the early stage, let more people join in. The more famous people are, the better the effect will be."
"No problem," Mr. Adams agreed without hesitation, "I will do it. I know a few friends.”
“That’s good.” Qin Shaoyan nodded, “There is an old saying in China that everything depends on people’s plans. How much can Raymond gain after the activities are started? , leave it to God." Mr. Adams stood up and extended his hand with gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for everything you have done for Raymond. You have gained the friendship of our Adams family."
"From now on, I owe you a favor. If you encounter any little trouble in California, you can come to me."
Qin Shaoyan also smiled and shook hands with Mr. Adams vigorously. "Thank you, Mr. Adams."
Mr. Adams left Qin Shaoyan his personal phone number. Before leaving, he said many words of gratitude and invited Qin Shaoyan to visit his home at any time.
It can be seen that he really wants to make Qin Shaoyan as a friend.
After all, Qin Shaoyan was really thoughtful in designing this promotional method for Raymond, and it cost a lot.
If you invest, you must get a return. This is an unspoken rule in American politics.
You don’t have to repay when you don’t have the ability, but if you don’t repay when you have the ability, it would be political suicide. If you don’t have credibility, who will invest money in you?
After the new president takes office, he will be generous with rewards. A lot of official positions are used to arrange financial sponsors, and even ambassadors abroad can be traded.
Any sponsor can get what he wants, whether it is financial benefits or political benefits. The size of the return depends on the amount of initial sponsorship.
Mr. Adams is very willing to make Qin Shaoyan as a friend. After all, politicians can always become good friends with rich people.
After sending the guests away, Qin Shaoyan lazily collapsed on the sofa, drinking a drink and thinking.
Zhang Pingyi rushed over and asked curiously: "Why did those two people come to you?"
"Come and bribe me." Qin Shaoyan said casually.
Zhang Pingyi was a little surprised, "You are so rich and you still need bribes?"
"Bribery is not just money, there are other ways." Qin Shaoyan glanced at Zhang Pingyi, "You are still from Lu Province, you don't even understand this bit of worldliness."
"This worldliness is easy It’s just a matter of favor.” Zhang Pingyi retorted, “Why should I study this when I have nothing to do?”
“You don’t plan to develop in the United States, so you don’t need to spend so much effort building relationships with the locals, right?” >
“It’s just a casual move, it will come in handy.” Qin Shaoyan sat up straight, “What have you been doing these days?”
“I’m playing tricks on Bram Cohen. ?" Zhang Pingyi was a little surprised, "Are you too busy? I've been in the office all the time, and you didn't even see me? "
"Then you must be hiding in the corner and keeping silent. Who could notice you?" Qin Shaoyan argued.
“Fuck, there are a lot of functions made by me. You can see it by looking at the code submission log.” Zhang Pingyi said angrily, “Don’t you read the daily newspaper every day?”
"Oh, I must be dazzled." Qin Shaoyan suddenly changed the subject, "Why are you getting involved in the video website? I don't remember assigning tasks to you. Do you want shares?"
"No. Ah." Zhang Pingyi replied calmly, "I have to study, otherwise what if I don't know how to make a video website when I go back?"
"..." Qin Shaoyan was speechless, "I have more. Only idiots would do this kind of money-losing thing in China.”
"Ah?!" Zhang Pingyi was dumbfounded.
