Chapter 1
[A loving family]
Jiang Xiaohong: I saw a very meaningful video online today. This is the quintessence of our country. I heard that there is a little girl in your store who can knit silk. Can you let her knit some silk and sell it to me? I will sell it to Xiaojinxing Kindergarten with dance costumes.
Jiang Xiaohong: [Link: Young girl shocks the world with her craft! ]
Jiang Bing: Auntie, this video is from a marketing account. I will send you the original video.
Jiang Bing: [Link: [Network Display] Healthy Knot]
Jiang Bing: This video was taken by Qinghe, who is good at weaving in Jiang Qi’s shop.
Jiang Xiaohong: [thumbs up][thumbs up][thumbs up]
Wen Luo: What is a net? What is a net?
Jiang Xiaoliang: [Thumbs up] @Jiang Qi, Xiao Qi, Dad also wants a health knot to carry with him to keep him safe
Qiao Huifang: @Jiang Qi, Xiao Qi, mommy also wants a healthy knot to carry with her to keep her safe
Jiang Xiaohong: @Jiang Qi, Xiao Qi, my aunt also wants a healthy knot to carry with her to keep her safe
…
Wen Luo: @Jiang Qi, Xiao Qi, my aunt also wants a healthy knot to carry with her to keep her safe
Wen Luo withdrew a message
Wen Luo: @Jiang Qi, brother, I also want a health knot to carry with me to keep safe
Jiang Xiaohong: Wen Luo, shouldn't you be in class now? Are you playing with your phone in class? Hand over your phone to me when you get home tonight!
Jiang Qi was squatting in the toilet cubicle, clicking frantically on the game panel, clicking on Wang Erya's card details and exiting, constantly refreshing the star-up progress. Looking at the star-up progress that increased a little with each refresh, his mouth curled up wildly. Suddenly, his phone vibrated and interrupted the refresh.
Jiang Qi:?
Who suddenly bombarded him with private messages? Hadn’t he already semi-blocked all group chats?
I clicked on it and saw that it was a family group.
Fang Jing's company's publicity efforts were so great that Jiang Xiaohong could even see it by watching short videos. It seemed that the 58,888 was not wasted.
Unable to reply to messages with a blank face, Jiang Qi had been standing in the toilet cubicle refreshing the star-up progress for more than 20 minutes. If he stayed any longer, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
Jiang Qi simply closed the game panel, pushed the door open and left the bathroom while replying to the message, and returned to the lobby on the first floor.
Ever since Jiang Qi updated the latest 1 minute and 19 second Kang Jian knot video edited by the editor at 12 noon yesterday, Wang Erya's star upgrade progress has exploded along with the video playback volume, as if she had returned to the time when she was promoted from one star to two stars a few months ago.
In just over 20 hours, the star upgrade progress became reputation value [Respect] (17/100) reputation value [Recognition] (100/100) reputation value [Extremely Liked] (21/100).
Upgrading to three stars is just around the corner!
The number of video views is directly proportional to the star upgrade progress.
Because what Jiang Qi needs is to make a video account really popular and promote the video to more people, not just to buy millions of views and millions of fans, so Fang Jing's company often promotes the video half a day to a day later than the time the video is released.
Tomato Novel Network
They will see the response after the video is released and change the specific promotion plan from time to time.
After all, it’s a 58888 package, so the service is still very good.
The video received quite good response.
In just over ten hours, without Fang Jing's company promoting the video, the number of views of the video with the highest number of views reached 140,000. The number of comments and comments was also dozens of times higher than before, and the platform with the highest number of likes exceeded 10,000. The total number of views of all platforms barely reached one million.
Previously, the 24-hour playback volume of normal videos on platforms with relatively high playback volume was about 4,000-5,000, and after a period of fermentation, it would stabilize at 10,000 to 20,000. Excluding the fake comments and barrages from friends and relatives, the comments of normal viewers generally do not exceed 30 per video, and the barrages are even fewer, mainly concentrated at the beginning and end of the video.
This data is actually not bad. Although Jiang Qi bought the cheapest special promotion package, the traffic of this kind of manual teaching video without any gimmicks is already terribly low. Most videos have only a few thousand or even a few hundred views.
An average of 20,000 views is quite impressive in this unpopular section.
The net has faded out of normal people's lives for many years. Most people, like Wen Luo, don't even know what a net is. Even if they know there is such a thing as a net, they may not know what it is used for or what it looks like.
In fact, before Wang Erya was promoted to two stars, Jiang Qi didn’t know what a necklace was. He once thought that bracelets made of colorful ropes were necklaces.
Jiang Qi walked to the corridor on the second floor. A racing car carrying a small bottle of juice whizzed past him, suddenly braked in front of him, turned around and came to Jiang Qi's side.
"Mr. Boss, the sisters downstairs don't seem very happy. I just heard them cursing someone called a marketing account when I was loading the goods. Sister Xinghua also seemed unhappy and said she would write an article to curse back. Mr. Boss, did you encounter any problems? Do you need me to do anything?" Saiche asked.
"No, it's just a small matter." Jiang Qi said, "Just focus on delivering the racing car, we can handle the marketing account issue."
"Okay, Mr. Boss, feel free to ask me for help if you need anything. If you're not in a good mood, I can also take you out for a ride. You may need to bring some extra batteries. The last time I took you out for a ride, the battery ran out, and Mr. Cavalry found out about it, and he said it was my fault."
"Although I don't know where I went wrong, I'd like to trouble you, sir, to correct it next time." The racing car turned a corner and continued to deliver the goods.
Jiang Qi: ???
I will correct it next time???
Jiang Qi, full of questions, returned to the first floor.
Wang Xinghua, Liu Lan, and Jiang Wanwan each held a mobile phone. The expressions on their faces were as if they were playing a game with others, and their teammates lost 0-10 and were blaming them for their poor skills. There was anger in their eyes.
Everyone was typing away on their phones with an indignant look on their faces. The keys were pressed so hard that Jiang Qi was afraid they would make a dent in the phone.
Wang Erya sat on the side and watched the video with curiosity on her face.
"Sister Wanwan, why did this person say that my parents are seriously ill and that I have to make a living by making blood vessels from a young age? My parents are not sick and it is impossible for them to know my parents." Wang Erya's little face was full of confusion.
"They are all **marketing accounts, Qinghe, don't worry about it. Which marketing account wrote this? I'll scold it in the comment section!" Jiang Wanwan said angrily, and stretched her head to take a look. "Damn, the playback volume of this crappy marketing account is more than 700,000, which is higher than the playback volume of our original version!"
"The number of views on our short video platform with the highest number of views has exceeded one million," Jiang Qi said at the right time.
"It also stole 700,000 views!" Jiang Wanwan said dissatisfiedly, "We originally had 1.7 million views, and it stole 700,000! Brother Jiang Qi, how do you make videos? You don't even put a logo or watermark when you make videos. Do you know how arrogant these marketing accounts are? Xinghua went to the comment section to scold them and was banned!"
Jiang Qi: ...
"Do you still have an account?" Wang Xinghua was so angry that she wanted to float up and type, "This shameless video thief has blocked me again. Give me a new account quickly."
"I have several more." Liu Lan raised his hand and reported the account number to Wang Xinghua.
"How are these marketing accounts made up?" Jiang Qi asked curiously.
"Some say that my parents were seriously ill and taught themselves how to weave silk to support the whole family. Some say that I became famous with my silk weaving skills and shocked the world. Some say that this is a video that made foreigners exclaim that Chinese culture is broad and profound. Some say that this is the most viewed video promoting traditional culture. Some say that this is the first prize winner of the World Silk Weaving Competition." Wang Erya counted on her fingers for Jiang Qi, "These videos are so strange. In many videos, the brother's voice is similar, as if it is the same person speaking."
“If it was said by the same person, why did he make up so many different stories? He doesn’t even know me, I haven’t participated in any competition, and no foreigners have praised me for my good weaving skills.” Wang Erya doesn’t watch videos very often. She uses her phone to take online classes, watch TV, or chat with Qingqing on WeChat, so she has no idea that these marketing accounts start with a picture and the rest are all made up routines.
I also didn’t know that most marketing accounts are AI voices.
"I now find that these marketing accounts are good," Liu Lan said angrily. "At least they use AI voices, so people can tell that the video is stolen. The first sentence is basically something like this is a work by a rural girl that shocked the world."
"Those who steal videos are shameless. Do you know how shameless Xinghua and I just encountered one? An account with more than 200,000 followers directly stole the video by cutting off the beginning and the end. She removed the original sound and recorded it herself, making it seem as if she had shot the video."
"Her video has been viewed over 500,000 times. Jiang Qi, can't you find a way to manage it and complain to the video platform?"
"Even if we file a complaint, it will take time." Jiang Qi said, "Qing He's video is only 1 minute and 49 seconds long. It's easy to copy it or edit it with some additions. It can basically be considered as 0 cost and high return."
"Qinghe.W's account doesn't have many followers. Even with the video that gained the most followers today, it only has more than 20,000 followers. I talked to Fang Jing last night. Accounts without a fan base are prone to video theft. They will try to solve the problem, but before the account is established, it will be difficult to prevent the phenomenon of video theft."
"In fact, in a sense, most of the marketing accounts that repost and repost videos with exaggerated content are actually helping to attract traffic to our main account. As for those who steal videos and make profits from them, Fang Jing and his team will contact the platform. We just need to shoot the video and wait and see the results."
"What we need to do now is to use this video to operate the Qinghe.W video account well. Everything is based on Qinghe's wishes."
"Sister Lanlan, please don't be angry." Wang Erya comforted, "Anger is not good for your health."
"Oh, Xinghua, my aunt wants to order some silk strings that can be tied on little girls' heads as head ornaments. They don't have to be complicated, just simple ones. You should be able to weave them, right?"
Wang Xinghua, who was having a passionate conversation with someone online, quickly put down her phone and nodded: "Yes!"
"Let's make 120 first. My aunt-in-law has received a costume order for the New Year's Day performance of the senior kindergarten class. She wants to sell them together with the brocade. Please make a few brocades priced at 39 yuan first. I will take pictures for her and then decide what style you want."
"Okay, boss!" Upon hearing that an order had finally come, Wang Xinghua stopped being a keyboard warrior. She put her phone on the sofa and went to the front desk to find silk thread for weaving.
"Lanlan, please continue to curse for me." Wang Xinghua chose to find someone to curse for her.
"Okay." Liu Lan, who has been a professional game troll for 20 years, picked up his phone readily. Just as he was about to show Wang Xinghua his extraordinary online quarreling skills, he was stunned when he saw the text that Wang Xinghua was half-editing.
"What do you think of me, dogs, rats, and insects? What do you think of me? How do you pronounce the word after dog?" Liu Lan was confused.
"What, me what?" Jiang Wanwan leaned over to take a look and also remained silent.
Wang Xinghua, who had already taken out the silk thread from the counter and started to choose the color, said, "The sentence I didn't finish typing is: How can you, the dogs, pigs, rats and insects, be on the same level as me? Lanlan, help me type it."
Jiang Qi: ???
Jiang Qi also leaned over to take a look.
Wow, Wang Xinghua is really professional at criticizing people.
She uses half classical Chinese and half vernacular Chinese to criticize others. If you don't have a certain level of Chinese proficiency, you won't understand what she is scolding.
So what Wang Xinghua said before, that she wrote the insults in the newspaper on behalf of Mr. Wang, were the contents so high-end?
"Sister Xinghua is so awesome." Wang Erya exclaimed.
Jiang Qi: ...
"It's amazing." Jiang Qi affirmed Wang Xinghua's cultural level, "but don't learn from her."
"If you learn this kind of curse words, it will easily burn your lips when you say them when you are arguing with others."
.
Wang Xinghua quickly made 6 different styles of simple hairbands that could be tied on the hair as decorations.
In the era when Wang Xinghua and Wang Erya lived, silk cords were a common item needed by almost every household. It was as easy for a seven or eight-year-old girl to weave a simple pattern out of them as it was for her to buy colorful silk threads from the store at the school gate to weave a rope.
Jiang Xiaohong responded quickly and ordered 20 pieces of each of the six styles.
After a few days, Wang Xinghua finally received another order for silk lace, and it was this kind of simple and easy silk lace. Wang Xinghua was as happy as Qingqing who didn't have to make up classes during the holidays. Even the bad news that the bayberry-flavored lollipops in the store were sold out could not interrupt her good mood.
It was a rare occasion that there was no all-night show, so all employees could leave work on time. To celebrate the fact that Kang Jian Jie's video had been viewed over a million times, Jiang Qi decided to go to a barbecue restaurant and buy some barbecue to bring back so that everyone could have a good midnight snack.
"I want 100 skewers of lamb, 100 skewers of beef, and 200 skewers of potato chips that must be coated with flour and roasted until crispy. I also want 100 skewers of mid-wings, and 100 skewers of lamb kidneys." Wang Xinghua, who can't float in the sky during work and becomes invisible and floats around after get off work, orders food in the air.
Jiang Qi pretended not to hear: "Brother Chen, I want two orders of your store's signature team-building meal. Add 20 extra skewers of lamb, 20 skewers of beef, 40 skewers of potato chips, 10 skewers of chicken wings, and 10 skewers of kidneys. Half of everything should be spicy, and half should not be spicy. Pack it up."
"So many, Boss Jiang, are you having a team building at your restaurant?" Brother Chen from the barbecue restaurant asked with a smile, "Is that enough beer? If not, I'll give you two dozen."
"No, we don't drink. A few of my friends are coming over." Jiang Qi said with a smile, ignoring Wang Xinghua's protest.
"I want 100 skewers, not 10 or 20!" Wang Xinghua protested so loudly that it hurt Jiang Qi's ears.
"By the way, Brother Chen, I remember your store should also sell lamb ribs and braised pork set meals, right?" Jiang Qi rubbed his ears.
"Yes, but we don't sell the braised pork set meal anymore. We do have lamb ribs."
"Then give me five pounds of lamb ribs."
Wang Xinghua's protest stopped abruptly, and instantly turned into: "Great, I can finally eat lamb ribs, thank you boss!"
Today's book was "Kill the Script Killing Shop Owner". Old John, who had been in jail for another day, took a few steps back and whispered, "Too noisy."
"Xinghua girl is lively." Huang Fugui said with a smile.
The noisy Wang Xinghua somersaulted in the air and floated in front of Wang Erya: "Erya, how is the number of views of your video? I was so busy making up stories that I forgot to care about it. Have those thieves who stole the video been reported and had their videos taken down? How is Lanlan doing in scolding me? I tell you, I am really good at scolding people. Those people who were symmetrical with me online were all speechless after being scolded by me."
"It was really his loss that my boss didn't let me write his reply to his insults. Back then, everyone praised my sharp writing style. And my ghostwriting fee is very low. I saw that those ghostwriters on the Internet charge 10 or 11 yuan per thousand words. I want 15 yuan per thousand words, which is not expensive. My boss is really stingy. He doesn't even want to spend this little money."
Wang Erya didn't reply, but Lili in her arms whispered in agreement: "Yes, Banban is petty."
Jiang Qi, who was standing at the door of the barbecue restaurant waiting for the barbecue: ...
Very good, you don’t have to eat the barbecue tonight.
Oh, he forgot that Lili couldn't eat it anyway.
Because Jiang Qi ordered a large quantity, everyone waited for more than twenty minutes before Brother Chen quickly grilled it. The lamb ribs and the grilled meat weighed several hundred yuan, which Jiang Qi couldn't carry with both hands. In the end, he took some and left.
Leaving the alley, Wang Erya took a shortcut as usual. When there was no one on the roadside, she spoke up: "Sister Xinghua, the video is getting a lot of views now, and my reputation has also increased a lot. The boss said that I am only 60 points away from [Extremely Loved] reputation points to upgrade to a star."
"Then we also reported the accounts that stole the videos you mentioned. We may have to wait until tomorrow for the specific results. But you asked Sister Lanlan to continue to curse for you. After Sister Lanlan took the phone, she put it down without typing a single word. Maybe she was too busy."
"And Sister Xinghua, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you just now. There were a lot of people at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant, and I was afraid that if I talked to you and talked to myself, others would hear me and think it was weird. How about you walk back with us normally next time, and don't walk floating."
"Ah?" Wang Xinghua was stunned. She had forgotten what she said at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant. "Ah, it's okay. I know. I just wanted to say it."
"Next time I'll ask you a question, just listen. I'm just asking casually, and I'll ask again when we get home, Erya, you... Erya, Erya, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly motionless? Say something? What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you!"
Wang Xinghua became anxious, so she jumped to the ground and pushed Wang Erya forward.
Wang Erya didn't respond to her pushing at all, she just stood there in a daze.
"What's wrong with you, Erya? Don't scare me. Are you going to die?"
"What's wrong with Erya?" Huang Fugui also shook.
Old John checked Wang Erya's breath and found that she was still breathing, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he felt something was wrong and checked Wang Xinghua's breath, and found that she was also breathing, so he was relieved.
"Still alive." said Old John.
No one noticed that Jiang Qi was also stunned.
At the moment when Wang Erya did not respond, the game prompt sound suddenly sounded in Jiang Qi's mind.
"Congratulations to player Jiang Qi for upgrading the character card [Wang Erya] to three stars. This card has been upgraded to full stars and will no longer occupy a card slot."
"Card [Wang Erya] is in the process of selecting three stars. Players are requested to wait patiently."
"She's fine." Jiang Qi said, "Arya is three stars."
"Three stars!" Wang Xinghua was pleasantly surprised. "Great! What does three stars look like? Erya, tell me quickly! Erya, are you stuck? Erya, say something!"
"She is selecting three stars. She will tell us once she has finished." Jiang Qi said, signaling Wang Xinghua not to urge her, as it would be useless.
Old John and Huang Fugui looked at Wang Erya, who was still in a daze, with burning eyes.
