Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 175 Uncrowned King_1

"There’s no need to be so cautious. I just don’t like being emotional, but a logical discussion is still possible,"

Xiao Ming smiled at Yun Shi Yu and said, "You make a good point, now is indeed not the time to spread ourselves too thin.

The wise move is to start just one artist agency, to skyrocket Meng to fame using the fastest speed and resources."

Gu Xiangmeng pinched him hard to express her dissatisfaction, he patted the little hand on his shoulder, signaling the girl that she could sit down and rest.

So Gu Xiangmeng plopped down beside his hand, oblivious to the several icy stares directed at her.

"But time waits for no one!"

Xiao Ming continued, "You must have heard the news about Apple releasing the iPhone 3G and the appearance of the first Android system smartphone.

Even though they haven’t entered our country yet, it definitely won’t be long.

Do you know what this means?

It means that our current Nokia, BlackBerry, Samsung and other old phone systems will all be overthrown and swept into the trash heap.

In a few years, with the development and popularity of 4G networks, a new generation of smartphones will become as indispensable to everyone as Nokia, BlackBerry, and Samsung once were.

And by then, what will be changed is everyone’s ways of going online, entertainment, and even their lifestyles.

Computers will return to being production tools, and most people’s time every day will be dominated by their phones.

In fact, if you do some research, you’ll find that Western countries have already begun to show signs of this."

After he finished speaking, Yun Shi Yu and the others looked at each other, until Zhou Qingyuan couldn’t help but say, "We can imagine what you’re talking about, but what does this have to do with online media?

Besides, 3G isn’t fully prevalent yet, and it will take at least four or five years for 4G to become commercially universal. Do we really need to start laying out plans now?"

"Absolutely necessary."

Xiao Ming nodded seriously, "You’re all certainly clear about the meaning of ’internet marketing,’ but current marketing strategies are still shackled by print and TV ads, at a rudimentary level.

And its advancement, do you know what that is?"

"What?"

"Internet Water Army. Also called viral marketing."

This statement even made Shen Siyi bewildered.

"Ming, you mean those people who create rumors and cause trouble in various forums and posts will become the mainstream of the internet?"

"Yes! Not only mainstream, but also the largest and most profitable one."

"How can that be?" Yang Hanqing said with a puzzled face, "I don’t understand." freёweɓnovel.com

Damn, in an era when most people still think ’traffic’ refers to data usage on mobile phone plans, explaining its quantitative characteristics is indeed quite difficult.

Xiao Ming scratched his head and said, "Imagine this scene, you get up in the morning, the maid chats with you about having eaten Xiao Ming brand buns, which were especially delicious.

Then you go to work and see the driver munching on Xiao Ming brand buns.

At the office, the receptionist has a Xiao Ming brand bun packaging bag by her hand, and the secretary asks you kindly if you had breakfast, offering you Xiao Ming brand buns if you hadn’t.

As you start your work, a client calls to set up a lunch meeting, suggesting trying out some Xiao Ming brand buns that have become quite popular lately.

By noon, when you feel hungry, what’s the first food that comes to mind?"

"Xiao Ming brand buns!" Gu Xiangmeng was the one who answered, and then added, "If you really open a bun shop, brother, I would go eat there every day."

"It’s just psychology! You’re making it sound so mysterious," scoffed Zhou Qingyuan.

"Right, it’s psychology,"

Xiao Ming tapped on Gu Xiangmeng’s head and continued, "In an era where everyone uses smartphones and can access the internet anytime, anywhere.

If more than half of the ’Internet Water Army’ were our company’s employees, how difficult would it be to make Xiao Ming brand buns sell like hotcakes?"

As his words fell, everyone fell into thought, even Gu Xiangmeng rubbed her chin, trying to figure things out.

Bang!

Zhou Qingyuan suddenly stood up, slamming the table, his face flushed with excitement.

"I get it now! Before, you told me to be a shark, to merge and acquire all valuable accounts and marketing organizations on the internet, and if I couldn’t buy them, to kill them off.

You also said the goal was to own enough sway over the internet.

Back then, I was just too excited and didn’t think it through.

Now I see, what you want isn’t just influence over the internet? You want influence over the future world!"

Xiao Ming finally revealed a smile.

In the future, several major MCN organizations and marketing companies on the internet created cocoon rooms of information, artificially segmenting society into isolated small worlds.

Once you enter one of these cocoon rooms, you could only receive information from inside it, as big data would directly block out the world outside the cocoon room.

Whatever those MCN organizations wanted you to see, that’s all you could see.

That’s what precision marketing was all about.

And what Xiao Ming was preparing to do was to seize or eradicate those organizations before they emerged or while they were still in their infancy.

The ultimate goal, he wanted to be the hidden backer behind most MCNs, becoming the true king without a crown!

"Keep it down, keep it down! Don’t talk recklessly about taboo matters.

This time you reacted the fastest, so you score a point back."

"You guys had already discussed it beforehand, what’s there to react to? That’s called cheating," Yun Shi Yu immediately protested.

"So what if it’s cheating? If you have the ability, get Xiao Ming to help you too!"

Zhou Qingyuan shook his head in a show-off manner, the kind that made people want to drag him over and give his butt a good smack.

"Now, you understand why I want to spread out my stall so soon!"

Xiao Ming said, "The online world changes in the blink of an eye; seizing the initiative a bit earlier gives us more cards to play.

Of course, this ’urgency’ is only in the general direction, we still need to proceed calmly in practice.

Once the company is established, we can start with culture, entertainment, and film, as the main profit entities, to provide early-stage financial support for the digital media’s burn rate.

This matter is entirely in your hands, Qingyuan, and you can ask me if you encounter any problems."

"No worries!"

Zhou Qingyuan proudly thumped his chest, "As long as the capital is in place, I can get the stall set up in minutes."

"First off," Xiao Ming looked at Bai Xuechao, "once the company is set up, the first project is to establish a mature talent agency system in partnership with Xuechao.

I’ll give you a list later; it contains social media accounts with the potential to go viral. Use them to practice grooming internet celebrities.

In four months, as the end of the year approaches and Meng finishes her studies, we’ll start promoting her, aiming to make her an overnight sensation during the Spring Festival period!"

Bai Xuechao nodded, "Don’t worry, sir, I’ll quickly handle the current loose ends, so they won’t interfere with the main business."

Xiao Ming didn’t mention the matters of the rivers and lakes, but four months was her ultimate deadline, something she clearly understood.

"Brother, could you lower your expectations for Meng? The pressure is really huge for her," Gu Xiangmeng said, coquettishly shaking Xiao Ming’s hand.

Xiao Ming thought for a moment, then asked, "Can you read music sheets now?"

"Yes."

Xiao Ming immediately took out paper and pen, wrote down a couple of lines of lyrics, and added the melody.

"Here, give it a try, see if you can sing it."

Gu Xiangmeng was extremely surprised.

"You can write songs too?

My goodness! Brother, is there anything you can’t do?"
