Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore-Chapter 406: Scalper Breaks Down — That Guy Graduated with a Computer Science Degree!!

Hahaha, I got it, I got it! This is fantastic! I can finally go see Brother Xiao!

What the hell, sold out in one second? Who actually managed to get one?

I got one, and my friend got one too! This time was really unexpected. It feels like as long as your fan level is high enough and you pass the threshold, the probability of getting a ticket is huge.

Seems like it's because a lot of scalpers didn't get any.

Xiao He's website is amazing! It crippled a bunch of people's scripts. I'm a bit curious if it's true. Any scalpers want to come forward and share your experience?

Xiao He, I *&%￥#——

Tsk tsk, someone's true colors are showing. Serves the scalpers right, pah!

Many scalpers in my Moments are cursing. They seem to be saying Brother Xiao's website is really powerful; their scripts can't be used at all.

Hahaha, my entertainment today is watching the scalpers in my Moments. It's killing me with laughter. They used to be so arrogant, shamelessly shouting out sky-high scalper ticket prices. Now finally, someone can rein them in. Feels so damn good.

Thank you, Brother Xiao! This time, I finally got a ticket myself and don't have to go find those damn scalpers.

How did Brother Xiao's website manage this? Can it be used for my favorite artist's tickets in the future? I can never win against those scalpers when grabbing tickets. Concert tickets originally priced at one or two hundred get jacked up to five or six hundred by them. Every time I spend the money, it feels terrible, but to see my bias, I've always endured it.

On my knees, begging for Brother Xiao's website plugin! How exactly was it intercepted? I checked, and so far, not a single scalper has gotten a ticket. They've almost all been smoothly distributed to real fans.

I'm begging too! Please, all the other apps, learn from this! Last time for my bias's concert, the police even caught a scalper ring that profited tens of millions. If we could have this interception plugin, such problems definitely wouldn't happen again!

On the internet, some are happy, some are worried.

The happy ones are naturally the fans who got tickets. The worried ones are those scalpers who look like they've lost their parents.

No one expected that a small birthday party would be turned into such a spectacle by Xiao He.

People within the industry circle compared notes and all felt a bit of a chill.

How on earth was this done? An interception plugin this powerful! What if it gets widely adopted? Wouldn't that cut off their money-making routes?

That won't do!

In an instant, numerous conspiracy theories emerged.

Is this website even legitimate? It's not registered, right? Feels like it doesn't have a certificate.

Xiao He and his team's website is an illegal site. Be careful your personal privacy gets stolen.

The website for Xiao He's birthday party is an unlicensed product. Some fans, don't be foolish and rush to give your info away. Once all your personal information is leaked, you'll be the ones crying.

Also, Xiao He's website requires fan identity verification. That's very suspicious. If it's not registered, doesn't that count as privacy infringement?

No wonder it's free. Turns out they're selling fans.

A bunch of eager leeks, dying of laughter.

? So sour, where's that smell coming from.

How come there's a bunch of jealous people on the internet too?

Some people, stop pretending. We know you didn't make any money, raging impotently. But don't start getting jealous yet; the internet has a memory too.

Hehe, the scalpers are getting anxious, the scalpers are getting anxious.

What? Now you want to talk to me about privacy on the internet? When I log into apps, don't I give out all my privacy permissions too? Some I don't give, and they won't let me in. If we're talking about privacy leaks, I've been leaked eight hundred times already. I don't care, okay? At least you didn't make money, and I got a free ticket. Hehe.

Form a line below! Let's do it together! Hehe.

Hehe.

Even though I didn't get a ticket, I'll join in too. Hehe.

...

Linghui Entertainment office.

Looking at the storm of changes on the internet, Xiao He also let out a long sigh of lingering fear.

"Fortunately, it's just this one time. It probably won't cause too big of a stir later."

Xiao He looked at Liu Rulan beside him with admiration. "It was still Sister Liu who considered things thoroughly. Otherwise, I really planned to directly cooperate with the platforms."

Liu Rulan shook her head helplessly. "It's not that I considered things thoroughly, but human nature is like this. Water that is too clear has no fish. If you really provided this technology to other platforms, it would most likely be a thankless task."

Back when preparing for the birthday party, Xiao He had stayed up several nights manually building the anti-scalper interception system, planning to use it when distributing tickets for his own birthday party. However, this time Xiao He didn't act privately. Instead, he went through official channels, leveraging his identity as a Hu University computer science graduate to apply for a patent from several old professors he had cooperated with before, facilitating future commercial use and dissemination.

But when Liu Rulan found out about this, she didn't agree with Xiao He directly taking this technology to seek cooperation with ticketing platforms.

Over the years, while scalpers made money, those people didn't make less either.

Online machine ticket grabbing is one avenue; offline reserved tickets are another.

The industry is too big, the business too lucrative. If Xiao He dared to appear out of nowhere and put everyone on the hot seat, he would offend too many people, and there's a high probability of backlash.

Take the simplest example: since online scalper tickets have been completely eliminated, then the offline reserved scalper tickets become very conspicuous. If they get investigated later, whose problem is it?

It can only be that the technology Xiao He provided was no good. It definitely wouldn't be anyone else's problem.

In the end, after going around in circles, Xiao He himself would have done a thankless task, gaining a bunch of enemies for nothing.

So Liu Rulan's suggestion was that Xiao He should just temporarily build his own platform to use this plugin and never go "deliver himself to be killed." He'd only get scolded for nothing.

And now, Xiao He had to admit that Liu Rulan was right.

Just this one time, not letting those people take advantage and make money, the rumors and slander about him online doubled. If he had directly provided it publicly to the major platforms, Xiao He would really have been devoured alive by those people.

While feeling lingering fear, Xiao He also felt some regret. "I originally thought about providing the technology patent and getting a good sum from each party, but I never expected..."

"You can contact them privately, but let's forget it this time," Liu Rulan said. "After the commotion dies down, you can establish an independent platform to provide this plugin service. In the future, whether those people love to use it or not has nothing to do with us."

But overall, there probably won't be many willing to use it, because not everyone is like Xiao He, truly not caring about making this wave of money.

But this isn't something they can control. It's their own choice.

Xiao He thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright."

He's not someone who sticks his nose into everything, insisting on reforming the current situation.

Thus, even though a heated discussion was raging online, Xiao He's side did not step forward to give a clear explanation of this ticket-grabbing situation, nor did he actively launch the interception plugin he made himself. Some observant individuals investigated and discovered that this website and plugin were both completed by Xiao He himself. It's said it was specifically done to give back to fans, to do something within his power for them.

Only then did they suddenly remember that Xiao He himself is a graduate of Hu University's computer science program.

It's just that Xiao He has been in the industry circle for so many years, and no one has seen him market his university academic achievements, so everyone basically assumed he was an average student with unremarkable grades and ability during his university years.

No one expected Xiao He still had this ability.

Only informed longtime fans screamed on relevant social media platforms.

You guys simply don't understand how excellent Xiao He is!!!

That's a man with several invention patents and dozens of software copyrights!

How do you think he earned the money to start his company?!!
