In order to live in seclusion, I tricked my roommate into falling in love.

Chapter 346: No more slow and steady work, stir-frying is the only way
I don’t know how many people are paying attention to the Jingxi Mall live broadcast platform.

It was restarted "silently" at noon on April 2023, .

What I mean by quiet is that apart from the Internet, there is no ground-based advertising. There is not a single print, television, newspaper or outdoor advertisement in several major first-tier cities in China.

It's like being in another world.

As one of the most famous online shopping malls in China, Jingxi Shopping must maintain 24-hour uninterrupted service.

So before midnight, when you open the Jingxi Shopping app or WeChat Mini Program, you can see several main buttons listed at the bottom:
“Home”, “Live Broadcast”, “Big Sale”, “Shopping Cart”, “Mine”.

Except for changing the previous format to "Procurement and Sales Live Broadcast", everything remains the same.

Click on the blurred interface that says “Stay tuned for the opening countdown of XX minutes and XX seconds”.

Nothing else!

No coupons, no discounts, no advertising links.

It doesn't feel like a commercial promotion at all.

Until 12 o'clock sharp, if you click on the "live broadcast" button, a random entertainment video will pop up immediately, including beautiful women's talents, funny videos, mountain adventures, and all kinds of things.

It feels like a replica of the short video of Duoyin, with the same style, the same operation, the same likes, reposts, comments and attention.

Nothing special.

That is to say, after scrolling through three or five posts, a live broadcast may appear.

That is limited to the good-looking anchors, singing and dancing talent shows. The picture is clean and tidy, without any extra buttons or subtitles to interfere, and there is not even the live streaming with goods that everyone thinks.

There isn't even a single video of people chattering about selling products.

Instead, there are many cultural and historical videos such as old movies, documentaries of major cases, and historical archives, as well as popular science videos on art appreciation, gardening, flower and plant care, and architectural decoration.

Countless industry insiders who pay attention to this live streaming platform have discovered this differentiating detail.

The trend of online music is towards entertainment, especially the famous recommendation, screening and push mechanism based on the viewing habits, which will tend to be more in line with the subconscious interest choices of netizens themselves.

It is human nature to admire beauty, like comfort and ease, relaxation and laziness, but also to be curious about thrills and excitement. Studying and working are both anti-human behaviors.

Therefore, under this mechanism, most people's Douyin accounts can quickly become a base camp for beautiful women and handsome men, which is fun, funny and relaxing.

Naturally, the most popular videos on Douyin will not be those long popular science videos. People watch short videos to relax and have fun in their spare time.

Therefore, many people who later created short video platforms paid attention to this distinction.

In particular, Bilibili and WeChat Video also emphasize that they are more tasteful and give preferential recommendations to such UP hosts and bloggers.

In short, everyone’s goal is to avoid making sounds that are similar to those of others.

But for many ordinary netizens, these strategic algorithms are not immediately noticeable; they just think, “Hmm?” They seem a little new.

I'm not the type who likes to scroll through beautiful women, and every scroll is filled with the three thousand beauties in the harem posing in various coquettish ways, so the next one will definitely be unexpected.

I've been schemed against by Duoyin so many times, so now I meet someone who doesn't scheme against me, which is a bit refreshing.

In fact, we can see in the background that the retention stickiness is still good. As long as they come in, it is not a question of leaving immediately with disdain. It doesn’t matter where you brush your teeth.

Besides, among the thousands of anchors, most of them have registered two or three accounts for themselves, one video account, where they upload various impressive videos since they started their career, and one live broadcast account.

Those who can broadcast live will open their live broadcast rooms during this period.

The most outrageous thing is those who run self-media.

In essence, these are all people who are more flexible in their thinking and are best at figuring out the characteristics of various platforms and then how to benefit themselves.

Most of the old movies, documentaries of major cases, and historical archives were created by them.

You can copy some lines from the Internet, cut some videos from there, use AI dubbing and subtitles, and easily mass-produce a large number of them. Then add some shocking copywriting titles and you're done.

Often, over the years, there are a lot of videos that do not involve copyright.

Now it is being uploaded to the server.

So it is definitely impossible to watch all of them in a short period of time. At the beginning, there were tens of thousands of videos and thousands of people broadcasting live, but the scene was still held up.

But no one came in...

Yesterday, tens of millions of netizens watched the live broadcast, and today, there were tens of thousands of people at most!

Even if it gradually rises to hundreds of thousands after ten minutes.

What can we do with this little data?

The huge video server usage costs are not enough to cover the expenses... No, there is no income at all. It can only be said that with the support of a top domestic giant like Jingxi, which has its own cloud server division that makes money, it doesn't care about the current small amount.

Zi Xiaowei, Mr. Zhou, Shi Liang, leaders, teachers and students from the School of Software and the School of Computer Science looked at the various data displayed on the big screen. The operation was normal, and there was no standard to measure it.

But without a huge influx of people, it can never be considered a success, right?

Thousands of people are broadcasting live simultaneously, but now there is no one in many people’s live broadcast rooms!
Putting tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of users on the vast Internet is like pouring a bowl of water into a desert. It will be absorbed instantly without leaving any trace.

If these small internet celebrities who broadcast live had not also started broadcasting on other live broadcasting websites such as Douyin and Kuaishou, they would have collapsed long ago.

But it just so happens that most low-level internet celebrities can withstand this situation more easily.

They have all experienced the emptiness of being ignored, yet still have to persist in performing in the hope of gaining popularity.

My current expectations are not to make millions overnight, I will just keep going as long as I can make enough food and clothing.

So even though the game starts off quiet, it won't be chaotic.

Shi Liang was very nervous, and he couldn't even explain why.

Perhaps at the age of nineteen, he had never experienced such tremendous pressure, and he didn't want to see the embarrassing situation of Wei Ge standing there silently with everyone around him looking at him with wandering eyes.

He gritted his teeth and stood up: "Now you accompany everyone to dinner first..." His voice was shaking.

After all, he is now considered an expert.

Knowing that this means losing money every minute and every second.

Zi Xiaowei raised his wrist to check his smartwatch: "Wait a little longer..."

Mr. Zhou also helped him relieve his stress: "Everything has a development process. Now that it's running, we will work hard in all aspects..."

A teacher from the School of Computer Science couldn't help but exclaim: "Here they come! Here to measure!"

It was really visible to the naked eye that the waveform line that looked like the stock market index began to soar wildly!
Traffic inflows began to surge, one million, two million, five million, ten million, twenty million...

In more than ten minutes, the IP addresses of more than 20 million netizens arrived and entered the live broadcast section.

They really swarmed in, wandering around the live streaming platform like a flood, and maybe watched a few videos before searching and finding the live streaming room of "@老强" to watch Brother Qiang cook.

This is the power of top-level.

On the other side, Dai Annie and the others were sitting on a trailer parked on the roadside downstairs, watching the monitors lined up. The media interns, live broadcast team, and video team were all making slices, graphics, and texts, and spreading the news of Brother Qiang's cooking live broadcast on major platforms.

Open Jingxi, click on the live broadcast, search for Lao Qiang, and you can see the head of Jingxi live streaming his cooking skills.

Choosing noon as the time is a rare opportunity for white-collar workers, students, and working people to take a break. Browsing mobile phones while eating has become a leisure habit for many people.

I suddenly saw this news from various channels and naturally went to take a look out of curiosity.

If it is a brand new live streaming platform, you need to download the APP, register, and take precautions against fraud, which will definitely be a big discount.

It is precisely the reputation of Jingxi and the convenience and security of the WeChat interface, plus the topicality of Brother Qiang and Sister Qiang’s continuous appearances in recent days.

A large number of onlookers quickly gathered.

Maybe there are many people who want to come and see Mrs. Qiang.

Brother Qiang, dressed in a casual shirt with rolled-up sleeves and a plaid apron, was busy working in a very ordinary open kitchen. "No, I'm not bringing goods. I'm standing here to bring goods to Jingxi. If I really help bring this product, the other department will ask why I don't help them. It's hard to treat everyone equally. I have more than 100,000 self-operated stores in Jingxi. How can I be fair... I just focus on making pork belly. Where is the meat from? How would I know..."

A super-rich man with a net worth of hundreds of billions and actual control of hundreds of companies actually cooks in such a down-to-earth way.

Even though he has tried to be as casual as possible, Brother Qiang still can't help but exude an aura of dominance, which really gives people a sense of contrast with Zhang Fei embroidering.

Netizens watched it with great interest and found it very enjoyable to watch.

That’s right, it is said that many netizens ordered braised pork rice and the like at noon.

It feels like it’s the same as what a billionaire eats.

Even if some people didn't see Qiang Sao, or thought it was too bland and boring and quit, people continued to enter the live broadcast room, and the peak number reached about 30 million.

These netizens who came in and out naturally also visited other live broadcast rooms and stayed there for quite a while.

By the way, it also generated a lot of sales in Jingxi Shopping, although it had nothing to do with the direct sales in the live broadcast room.

However, the theory proposed by Zi Xiaowei that shopping malls need to have restaurants, entertainment venues, and cinemas to attract people is still emerging.

It’s just that the big boss can’t broadcast live at any time.

If these 20 to 30 million netizens disperse, how can we maintain their popularity?
