Chapter 297 Surfing the net (seeking a monthly ticket)
In the office, Qi Zhongcai looked at the investigation report that had just been printed out and frowned, feeling that the matter was not simple.
It is incredible that news and gossip published by a little-known website can spread all over the Internet in just one day and create such a huge momentum.
Although modest fans have refuted the rumors one after another, the number of netizens is much higher than the number of modest fans, and the two sides are not at the same level.
For the sake of traffic, many well-known websites forwarded reports without verification, which directly caused the rumors to spread more and more widely.
As the saying goes, three people make a tiger, and a common voice makes a gold.
After working in this industry for more than ten years, Qi Zhong fully understood the stakes. He immediately called Shang Jingyun: "Jingyun, have you found out who is behind this?"
Shang Jingyun replied: "There is a little clue, but we are not sure yet. Although we have retrieved the address of the website where the news was originally published, we found that its registered IP is overseas, and the website owner uses a broiler IP, so the source cannot be traced.
After we launched a network attack on this website, the website server was shut down immediately and retreated very quickly. It was obviously a premeditated and organized smear campaign, which is very thief."
Qi Zhongcai looked at the report and suddenly asked: "Zheng Qian really changed his nationality?"
Shang Jingyun said: "No, after the incident happened, I contacted Zheng Qian as soon as possible. It was morning now and he had just learned the news. However, they were in Europe now and could not return to China to refute the rumors immediately.
Maybe the other party took advantage of such a loophole, so we need to solve this matter."
Qi Zhongcai nodded and said: "If it is an ordinary person, such rumors and slanders will not have any impact, but Zheng Qian is a public figure and a top celebrity artist. This matter cannot be left to ferment like this. I will set up an investigation now.
The team launches an investigation!”
"Okay, we at Qianhua Consulting are here to cooperate at any time."
After hanging up the phone, Qi Zhongcai immediately held an emergency meeting and immediately formed an investigation team. Although it was already evening, he drafted a statement and contacted major portals to publish it.
Of course this isn't over yet.
After the statement was released, Qi Zhongcai directly chose to call the police and jointly launched an investigation with the police.
The next day, the discussion enthusiasm among netizens still showed no downward trend. Instead, it became more and more heated.
Seeing this situation, Qi Zhongcai directly sent a lawyer's letter to major portal websites with stern words, warning the operators of these websites to strictly prevent the spread of rumors and news, and for the first time issued a classic saying that "the Internet is not a place outside the law."
These websites were obviously frightened by the lawyer's letter, and coupled with the police's keen attention, they all immediately removed relevant news reports.
It’s really like “spreading rumors only opens your mouth, and refuting them will break your legs”.
Even though he was abroad, Zheng Qian learned the whole story through the news on the phone, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
Although major portal websites have stopped spreading the news and published a statement from Yuexiang Media refuting the rumors.
However, there are still many discussants in Tieba and forums, and there is almost no intention to cool down in a short period of time.
Even personal diplomat Liao Min received inquiries about the matter from his superiors. Although it had been explained clearly and it was not a serious problem, Zheng Qian still felt that things were developing in an increasingly bad direction.
It was already three days after the performance in the Netherlands.
Zheng Qian finally had time to stop working and started to log in to domestic websites and search for keywords in Baidu search engine. Oh boy, millions of entries came out instantly.
At present, the Internet is not effectively supervised, and you do not need an ID card to surf the Internet. All kinds of overwhelming rumors are everywhere.
Zheng Qian is currently on a mission and has to wait a few days to perform his final concert at the Musikverein in Austria before returning to China.
In this situation, Zheng Qian suddenly found that he didn't even have a channel to speak out.
Zheng Qian has not opened any blogs including Xinhai Blog, which is the most popular in China, and blogs used by overseas Chinese.
In fact, Xinhai Blog officials have invited Zheng Qian to open a blog many times.
Because the blogging platform has developed better and better over the years and has attracted many celebrities to join, it has a wide influence.
But Zheng Qian didn't think it was necessary.
Because he knows that blogs will soon become an outdated product under the tide of the times.
He is slowly waiting for the arrival of the Weibo era.
But now he discovered that no one can build a content-sharing website.
Even though there were many attempts, they were all strangled in the cradle because of lack of funds.
Now, faced with the surging wave of public opinion, Zheng Qian suddenly discovered that he might also try to win a game on the Internet and take the lead in launching a social network-style microblogging service. He might be able to take the initiative and take the lead in the public opinion field in the future.
In fact, similar microblogs have already shown signs of rise in the United States.
Many websites similar to "Twitter" and "Weibo" are now in operation.
These websites are very likely to become public opinion weapons of capital society in the future.
However, at this stage, these websites have not yet experienced an explosive influx of users. In addition to funds, what similar websites most urgently need is the addition of one or countless traffic ports, so that the traffic can enter a virtuous cycle and attract more and more users.
The more users join.
And isn’t Zheng Qian himself a ready-made giant traffic outlet?
At this stage, he has funds, traffic, and popularity. Isn't it logical to launch a "microblog" at this time?
As soon as he thought about this, Zheng Qian contacted Shang Jingyun and told Shang Jingyun his thoughts.
Hearing this, the latter suddenly said: "What a coincidence, when you said that, I suddenly remembered an Internet friend I met two days ago. He was working on a 'surfing' photo sharing website, but the number of users
The traffic has never been increased. The number of registered users at this stage is still not comparable to some celebrity fan forums. I have already planned to sell it and are now looking for a buyer. How about I help you ask?"
When Zheng Qian heard this, he asked carefully and learned that this is a small and fresh online classified picture wall website. Users can classify and collect all kinds of pictures they like. It is also open and shared. It sounds similar to previous lives.
Similar to instagram.
After hearing this, Zheng Qian understood why this website could not be built.
In the current 2G network era, people have a hard time surfing the Internet.
This website even offers photo wall sharing, which not only consumes servers, but also bandwidth. Pictures with slightly higher resolutions may become mosaics.
It’s not that this website is not doing well. On the contrary, the photo wall sharing website will be very popular in the future, but in the current 2G era, it is really too advanced.
He was born at the wrong time and deserved to be photographed dead on the beach.
Including virtual reality equipment, Internet TV and touch screens, etc., they are all products of the last century, and they were all photographed dead on the beach because their ideas were too advanced.
However, to be able to build such a website at this stage, the server is still very powerful. If the operating model is changed to focus on text information sharing, it can obviously still be used.
As soon as he thought about this, Zheng Qian expressed his thoughts.
After Shang Jingyun learned about it, he immediately contacted his friends to ask if the plan was feasible.
Not long after, the news came that the plan was completely feasible and there was no problem at all.
The other party's quotation was also very straightforward and straightforward.
It can be sold for 500,000 yuan, and comes with more than 100,000 registered user data and about 2,000 per capita views per day. It will be modified according to the plan guided by Zheng Qian, and the maintenance and modification can be completed in one night.
Zheng Qian agreed immediately and asked Shang Jingyun to trade directly with the other party. The website was directly transferred to Zheng Qian's name. It would take a few days to sort out the subsequent transaction procedures.
Then, the website issued an announcement that it would need to be shut down for maintenance that night, and all users could browse the website again at eight o'clock the next morning.
After a night of maintenance, Surf.com is back online.
Many users were surprised to find that the website had almost become a blank sheet of paper, so although the shared data in the past was still saved, users who wanted to upload and share photos were restricted in their permissions.
Witnessing this situation, the users were a little angry. They were about to delete their accounts and leave, but suddenly they discovered something incredible on the homepage.
From the homepage of the website, all the bells and whistles have been removed, even those annoying advertisements from the past are gone.
In addition to the necessary bulletin board, the entire website homepage only has a top user dynamic space. The overall space template is similar to a blog.
The name of this pinned user is "Zheng Qian".
"Zheng Qian? You're right?"
"Holy crap, why is there an additional official certification, 'singer, actor'?"
"Is this authenticated by the website? Is it really Zheng Qian himself? I don't believe it!"
"Surfing the Internet is fine, and all the popularity is coming to Zheng Qian!"
"If this rubbish website can hire Zheng Qian, I will stand on my head and shit."
"I wash my hair in the toilet!"
While users were sneering and mocking, the first update from user "Zheng Qian" was suddenly posted ten minutes after the website came back online:
"I, Zheng Qian, a son and daughter of China, a descendant of Yan and Huang, a native Chinese, the only country of my parents in this life, the only motherland behind me, there is only China, and it will not change for half a second!!!"
A photo of Zheng Qian standing in front of the Chinese Embassy in Vienna and shaking hands with local diplomats was also attached below the update.
All users wiped their eyes violently.
I refreshed the page carefully and found that it was indeed Zheng Qian's photo. For a moment, I felt incredible.
"Holy shit, what did I see?"
"Zheng Qian! It's really Zheng Qian!"
"He is indeed in Europe now. This photo is amazing!"
“Dog website, treat them differently! Why don’t I have permission to upload photos!”
“Hey, you can actually comment and repost!”
"Forward: Brother Qian, is that you? Brother Qian?"
