Douyin Headquarters, Operations Department.
Operations Director Li Yan was leisurely leaning on the sofa drinking coffee when suddenly an employee came over.
"Director Li, there's someone claiming to be Chen Qiu from the Jincheng Shen family who wants to speak to you."
"Jincheng Shen family?"
Li Yan frowned, "It's just a small family in a third-tier city. Ask him what's going on. Don't come to me for everything!"
The employee hesitated for a moment and said, "Director Li, do you remember that incident that caused a stir online a few days ago? It was about Shen Qi and the Jincheng Shen family. It attracted a lot of online trolls, and in the end, it was only after the central bank spoke out that those arguments were suppressed. It was about the Jincheng Shen family."
Li Yan sat up straight. "The family that received the Central Bank's approval? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The central bank’s statement is no small matter. These platforms all have to look at the central bank’s face. The central bank’s statement is equivalent to setting the tone. Anyone who dares to go against the central bank is seeking death!
Even the central bank has to speak out for the Jincheng Shen family. If he, a mere operations director, dares to embarrass the Jincheng Shen family, I'm afraid someone will replace him immediately!
"Quick! Give me the phone number, I'll call him myself!"
Li Yan picked up his phone and suddenly stopped. "Wait a minute, find all the videos on our platform related to the Jincheng Shen family. I'll take a look first."
"yes!"
Soon, Li Yan saw the video of Shen Qi defeating Richard, which had already become very popular on the Internet.
A smile appeared on Li Yan's lips. I thought it was something else, but it turned out that the Shen family in Jincheng wanted to ask him for something.
He is familiar with this kind of thing.
Spending money to buy popularity has been done many times before.
After making all the preparations, Li Yan called Chen Qiu.
Chen Qiu was waiting anxiously at home. He knew his second grandfather's temper. If he failed to do what his second grandfather had asked him to do, he would have a hard time explaining himself.
Li Yan: "Hello, is this Mr. Chen Qiu?"
Shen Qiu nodded, "It's me, who are you?"
"I'm Li Yan, the operations director of Douyin. I just received a message saying you were looking for me."
"Ah, yes! Hello, Director Li!"
Chen Qiu adjusted his posture and said, "It's like this. You should have seen that there is a video about my second grandfather Shen Qi that is very popular on the Internet. I came here because of this."
Li Yan smiled and said, "I understand! Mr. Shen, you don't need to say more. I know what to do. I will arrange to recommend and push this video. I guarantee it will be in the best position and the number of pushes will be no less than one million! However, as you know, in our line of work, there will always be some expenses..."
Chen Qiu became anxious when he heard this.
"Stop! You don't understand me..."
"I see!"
Li Yan leaned back in his chair, looking confident. "I've done this kind of thing before, and everyone knows it well. Normally, we charge a fee for this level of recommendation and promotion, at least five million. This time, I'll make the decision and give you a special price of four million. How about it?"
Chen Qiu quickly shook his head, "No! Listen to me first! I'm not asking you to push this video, I want you to lower the popularity of this video, no matter how much it costs!"
The smile on Li Yan's face froze.
"What did you say? To reduce the popularity of this video?"
He could hardly believe his ears. A video that became popular without any deliberate recommendation but solely due to the internal recommendation mechanism of their platform must have a market. People would be so happy when encountering such a thing that many people would even be willing to spend money to buy popularity. Why was it different for Chen Qiu?
"Right! We just need to suppress the heat. It would be best if we could just make this video disappear!"
Chen Qiu said with certainty, "As long as you can do it, I will give you five million!"
Li Yan looked strange, "Mr. Chen Qiu, are you sure you want to do this? I've seen that video, and it's very beneficial to your Jincheng Shen family. Why do you want to suppress the heat?"
"No need to ask any more questions. I'll pay you and you just do the work."
Chen Qiu felt helpless. How could he not know what effect this video could have? But the problem was that his second grandfather didn't want to be famous, so he had no choice but to do this.
After repeated confirmation, with the help of five million, Li Yan finally agreed to Chen Qiu's request and said that he would do his best to suppress the popularity of this video.
Chen Qiu breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Li Yan's assurance, and then began to contact the Douyu platform again.
As long as the popularity of these platforms can be suppressed, the popularity of this video will be about the same.
Li Yan hung up the phone and was about to inform employees to limit the flow of Shen Qi's video, but the general manager came in again.
"Xiao Li! Do you know the video that suddenly became popular on our platform? It's the one about Shen Qi."
Li Yan stood up quickly. "I know. What's the matter, Mr. Sun?"
Mr. Sun said, "Immediately arrange for recommendations and push notifications. I want the best recommendation position, with no less than one million effective push notifications. I want to see this video go viral online within the hour!"
Li Yan was confused again.
"Boss Sun, is this someone paying for attention?"
Mr. Sun shook his head. "No one's spending money, but this is what's been communicated from above. It's said to be the Central Bank's intention. As a platform operator, don't we have to depend on the Central Bank's mood? Not to mention not paying, even if they ask us to pay for it, we have to do it!"
"What does the Central Bank mean?"
Li Yan's heart skipped a beat. Something bad happened. Five million was gone!
Not only would he lose five million, but he would also offend Chen Qiu.
What the hell!
