Chapter 390 Secret Operation

This self-driving trip did not end until the end of November.

It’s not that we’ve had enough fun, it’s mainly because the temperature is getting colder and colder, and we’re not having as much fun as before.

After being out for a month, the pressure in life has almost been relieved, and it’s time to work hard to make money again.

They cannot be said to have completely achieved financial freedom, but they have achieved half of it. They have enough time and money to take a trip at any time.

Of course, I just went back.

Xiao Yuan's blood has recovered and she feels that she is a healthy person again and can continue to go back to Yangcheng to sing.

Chen Li suddenly owed more than 1 million yuan in debt, and felt that he needed to update more and make more money.

He plans to update 10,000 to 20,000 words every day after he returns, so that he can pay off his debt much faster.

Gu Ru also feels that her body and spirit have returned to their best condition and she can record an album.

It was her first solo album, and it was also her last solo album. It represented the traces she left in this circle, and she wanted to do it in the best possible condition.

And Ellie is also worried about whether there will be problems with the company's operation after being out for such a long time.

Although I contact people in the company online every day and there seems to be no problem, I still feel a little uneasy after being away from the company for such a long time.

When Gu Ru proposed to go back, she was the first to stand up and agree.

Then Xiao Yuan and Chen Li also came out and agreed.

Chen Li owed Gu Ru more than one million yuan, and Xiao Yuan was carrying more than two million yuan in real estate. Both of them had the need to work and earn money.

Yan Xin, a salty fish, is still a bit unsatisfied. He feels that it is not impossible to continue to the west, all the way to the roof of the world to cleanse his soul.

However, everyone wanted to go back, so he did not insist on his own ideas and expressed his agreement.

He also said that he would go to the capital after returning and there were some things to deal with there.

During this period, he and Feng Xi also had contact. They didn't talk much about the company, but mainly talked about their children's personal affairs.

——Those supervisors will report to Yan Xin about Jin Xi’s e-commerce company, so Yan Xin doesn’t need to talk about these things with Feng Xi.

Moreover, Yan Xin doesn't care too much about business operations. He knows that he doesn't understand and there is no need to give guidance to professional people.

It is better to talk about children's private affairs in the short chat time to maintain the relationship than to talk about official matters.

The two of them haven't seen each other for such a long time, and Feng Xi is still a little unhappy.

Especially when Yan Xin was traveling abroad, she stayed alone in the capital. In contrast, she felt even more unbalanced.

So she had that request - after finishing this trip, Yan Xin should go to her place.

Yan Xin had no way to refuse and could only agree.

The road they set out on was not a straight line. Although it was generally heading west, sometimes it went south, sometimes it went north, and sometimes it went in a big circle.

When I encounter an interesting place, I stay and play for a whole day, sometimes even for several days.

After being out for such a long time, I didn't run too far.

But when I went back, the speed was even faster. I chose the fastest route. I drove for more than ten hours a day and basically didn't stop along the way.

It only took two or three days to return to Yangcheng.

After a day of rest, I returned to my previous life state and faced the next work with fuller energy.

Yan Xin flew to the capital.

It's not impossible to drive to the capital, but it's too tiring and takes too much time on the road, so I can only go by plane.

I originally wanted to rest for two more days, but it was already November 30th, which happened to be Friday. Go over there and catch up on the weekend, so that I can have more time with Feng Xi. Otherwise, she

I still have to study.

If you miss this day, you will have to wait for the next week.

If you are tired, you have no choice but to go there as soon as possible.

This time when he arrived in the capital, it was not that late. Feng Xi and Xue Bing came to greet him.

On the way, we also talked about some things about the company's development, including several acquisitions, and the second Hanfu Goddess Competition currently being held on Xingguang.com.

In the second Hanfu Goddess Competition, more people participated, and the quality of the Hanfu girls was also higher, which of course brought more popularity.

As the only sponsor of this competition, several online stores of Jinxi E-commerce Company have gained high exposure, especially Nishang Yuyi and Chungui Youmeng, two online stores related to Hanfu.

A huge amount of traffic.

During the event, the sales data of these two online stores saw a significant increase.

Several other online stores have also been driven, and their sales data have experienced significant growth.

The sales data for the past two months are quite astonishing.

Sponsoring this event has been a huge gain.

It is already the evening of November 30th, and the 20 contestants who have entered the finals will be announced at 12 noon on December 1st.

The next month will be the time for the twenty contestants who entered the finals to compete for the second Hanfu Goddess.

According to the new competition system, if you enter the finals, you will become a model for Jinxi E-commerce Company, with a guaranteed monthly salary and remuneration for being a product model.

The models signed last year earned tens of thousands a month.

And it's not your main job, you can do it part-time, just take one day a month to shoot more products.

Even students can do this without delaying their studies.

In this era, when you work in a factory for more than ten hours a day, your salary is usually more than 1,000 yuan.

Jinxi E-commerce Company can provide such a contract, which is quite tempting for those grassroots girls.

The signed models from the previous session were also users of Xingguang.com, and they would also share their modeling experience. With their publicity, more girls were attracted to participate in this event.

The more girls who participate, the more popular the event will be and the more netizens it will attract.

If you can advance to the finals, you will have the qualifications to sign a model contract with Jinxi E-commerce Company. Therefore, the list that will be released at noon tomorrow is quite important.

It's important to those players, and it's also important to Jinxi E-commerce Company - they also need beautiful girls to showcase their products and get better publicity.

The price of finding professional models to shoot those things is a bit high, but it is more affordable to cooperate with these grassroots players.

To be able to enter the finals, it is popular and good-looking, and the price is relatively low, which is much better than those small models.

Only the top few finalists last year were eligible to sign contracts with online stores.

Now that Jinxi E-commerce Company has started to develop, it has stronger funds, opened more online stores, and put more products on the shelves, so they can make a decision. As long as they reach the finals, they can sign a contract with them.

But this also creates a new problem, that is, the contestants who enter the finals must have a certain appearance, so that they can drive product sales.

——This is a clothing model. If the model is not beautiful, it will be difficult to display the clothes beautifully, which will be a disaster for product sales.

Last year, there were a few mediocre-looking people who made it to the finals by mobilizing votes from relatives and friends.

If something like this happens again this year, it will cause a waste of resources.

However, according to the competition system of the platform, this possibility is very high.

——In order to attract more people to participate in this event, there must be a fair competition system, that is, girls with mediocre looks must also see the possibility of entering the finals, so that they can be stimulated.

arouse their enthusiasm for participation.

If only beautiful girls could enter the finals, this event would have to block at least 90% of the contestants.

Among the remaining 10% of contestants, about 90% are girls who have inaccurate positioning of themselves.

There are too many contestants, and there are too many beautiful girls, which sometimes causes aesthetic fatigue among the audience, causing some pretty girls to not get high votes. On the contrary, some ordinary-looking girls can pass the show through being funny.

The persona or the powerful group of relatives and friends in reality can get higher votes.

It is entirely possible that there will be several average-looking girls in the finals, or even ugly girls.

Xue Bing, from the perspective of Jinxi E-commerce Company, does not want such a situation to occur.

While driving, she made her request to Yan Xin, that is, she hoped that the website could change the data so that the girls who entered the finals would all be good-looking.

She even made an unreasonable request - she hoped that the twenty contestants who would make it to the finals would all be designated contestants by Jinxi E-commerce Company.

Reaching the finals depends on the votes of netizens.

This is the setting that best stimulates everyone's participation.

Theoretically, only the majority of netizens can decide which contestants will eventually advance to the finals.

The number of votes is the only criterion.

But that's just theory.

If the website wants a person to enter the finals, it doesn't need to spend money to buy a ticket, it can just tamper with the background data.

It's not like Yan Xin has never done something like this before. For example, he asked the people on the website to increase the number of votes for Xiao Shiyu, so that he has always been among the top three.

Doing data occasionally won't have much impact.

However, Xue Bing's request was that she would make the decision for the twenty finalists. It was a complete behind-the-scenes operation. He really couldn't accept this.

"No, this won't work," Yan Xin shook his head vigorously, "This may be good for the e-commerce company and can get the models they want, but it will affect the credibility of the website and the brand of the Hanfu Goddess Contest. This

It's killing the goose that lays the egg, which is very short-sighted and I can't accept it."

"If you look at the data, netizens won't be able to tell, right?" Xue Bing said.

In fact, she also knew that this would affect the credibility of the website. However, she was not from Starlight Entertainment, but from Jinxi E-commerce. The two bosses also promised to give her how many shares they would give her after a certain number of years. She needed to consider

Of course, it is the interests of e-commerce companies.

Yan Xin still shook his head: "This can't be good, netizens are not fools."

Feng Xi added next to him: "Not all netizens are fools."

There are many netizens who are easy to deceive. If you look at the data, most netizens will not be able to tell.

But as long as one or two attentive netizens notice it and spread the word, the entire Internet will know about it.

If some people advance to the finals, there will be more people who will not advance to the finals.

Those who cannot make it to the finals have resentment in their hearts and will help spread such things.

If one thing goes wrong, the reputation of Xingguang.com will be ruined and the website will be destroyed.

Yan Xin attaches great importance to this website. It is the traffic pool he has prepared for future development, but he cannot let his reputation go bankrupt just because of this trivial matter.

So he firmly opposed it.

Xue Bing felt a little depressed when she saw Feng Xi talking for Yan Xin, and frowned and said:

"However, if some ordinary-looking people enter the finals, we will be very passive."

Yan Xin also knows this truth. Jinxi E-commerce Company also owns half of his shares, and the other half belongs to his woman. Of course, he must also consider the interests of this company.

After thinking for a while, he said: "We can control this and let those who are beautiful enter the finals as much as possible. However, we cannot all enter the finals with beauties. There must be two ordinary ones."

Otherwise, the number of participants will drop by at least 90% the next time we hold an event.”

"Does the boss mean that in order to show the fairness of the event, ordinary-looking contestants must enter the finals?" Xue Bing asked.

"That's what it means, it must be there." Yan Xin said with certainty.

Xue Bing asked a question out of curiosity: "What if all the finalists are beautiful players? I'm talking about the situation without any data."

Yan Xin thought for a while and replied: "Then we have to find a way to let two ordinary-looking players enter. This will at least look fair."

Xue Bing couldn't help laughing.

It sounds a bit ironic that he does not hesitate to operate behind the scenes in order to look fair.

However, the reality is like this.

Which is more important, true fairness or appearance of fairness?

For a businessman, looking fair is of course more important.

This activity was originally meant for people to watch.

Whether it is fair or not has little to do with the facts. The main thing is to make most netizens feel that this is a completely fair and just game.

Feng Xi said: "It's not a big problem to add one or two ordinary-looking contestants. It won't waste much money. Besides, the makeup technology is so powerful now, so spend more time on their makeup and be more careful when retouching the pictures."

, it won’t have much impact on the product. If the sales volume is indeed not good, just give them a basic salary to support them, and there is not much money.”

Xue Bing sighed secretly and said: "But we need more excellent models."

"If you really need it, you can choose among the unsuccessful contestants. Those who make it to the finals can be our models. It doesn't mean that those who don't make it can't be our models. It's just a matter of spending a little more money." Feng Xi said.

"That's true." Xue Bing said with a smile.

In fact, she still disagrees with it. She feels that saving money and avoiding unnecessary waste is also a very important thing.

But both bosses meant that way, so it was hard for her to say anything else.

However, she still mentioned that she wanted to ensure that a few players entered the finals.

She is also paying close attention to this event, and there are some players she recognizes.

She even made a list of 20 people.

She thought her boss could agree to let her designate the finalists.

This hope was dashed, but she still hoped that her favorite players could advance to the finals.

Although it is already the last day, the competition is still fierce, and the difference between the top 50 and 60 players is not very big.

Based on the experience of the previous session, there are also situations where a comeback can happen in the last ten minutes on the last day.

In this kind of event, which is decided by netizen voting, anything can happen.

Although the contestants she was most optimistic about received relatively high votes, she was not sure whether they could advance to the finals.

No one knows until the last moment.

For the sake of insurance and to save money, she still hopes that the website can do some data to ensure that the contestants she is optimistic about will enter the finals.

Once they reach the finals, the website's promotion resources will be concentrated on those twenty people. That is the time for them to truly show off, which can bring them the highest popularity.

It also has a very good role in promoting product sales.

If they don't make it to the finals, they can indeed be signed, but without so many promotion resources and popularity, their value will be greatly reduced.

Not the same thing at all.

That's why she insisted on keeping a few in.

Yan Xin did not object this time.

All the finalists were designated by sponsors, which was a bit too sensational and he couldn't accept it.

Just appointing a few to enter, although it actually causes unfairness, this unfairness cannot be seen by outsiders and will not affect the reputation of the website, so there is no need for him to refuse.

Jinxi E-commerce Company is also his company, and of course he hopes that this company can obtain some of the best models. He also believes that Xue Bing's vision is much brighter than his.

So he agreed.

After some discussion, it was decided that Xue Bing would designate eight people to enter the finals.

Xue Bing didn't get twenty designated places, but was able to get eight designated places. Xue Bing didn't have that much regret.

She fought hard for the eight spots. She chose eight players who she thought were excellent. She didn't want to lose any of those eight, so she had to fight for them.

In the end, Yan Xin gave in.

When the car drove to the community where Feng Xi lived, Xue Bing did not leave, but followed them in. Then he gave a list of eight people, listed all their online names, and pushed all the posts to Yan Xin.

Yan Xin took a look and saw that there was a contestant he knew with the online name "Poetry and Pictures".

That was none other than his old classmate Xiao Shiyu.

I couldn't help but be surprised to see Xiao Shiyu appear on this list.

I thought to myself: "My old classmate, is she really this beautiful?"

He had seen Xiao Shiyu's entry post, and he also thought this old classmate was beautiful.

But he had no idea whether he was beautiful enough to enter the finals.

I am too familiar with it, and I am afraid that my judgment is not standard enough.

Feng Xi also saw it, and when he remembered who it was, his eyes on Yan Xin became intriguing.

Xue Bing saw that their eyes were a little strange and explained:

"This contestant is quite good. I have seen some of her posts. She is beautiful in Hanfu and fashionable clothes. She is also a college student. Judging from her writing, she is somewhat spiritual and has great potential."

Feng Xi smiled and said oh.

Yan Xin nodded cautiously.

But I was quite happy in my heart.

Xue Bing didn't mention it, he was still thinking about pushing Xiao Shiyu to the finals, but he just didn't know how to explain it to Feng Xi.

Now it was Xue Bing who proposed this list in front of both of them, so it was none of his business.

Xue Bing explained again: "The most important thing is that she is already very popular. She has been among the top three in terms of votes since participating in the competition, and she was still first for a while. After entering the finals, there are more

If we promote resources, her popularity will be further enhanced."

Feng Xi smiled even brighter: "It looks very good..."

Yan Xin nodded seriously: "It's indeed pretty good."

But there is some emptiness in my heart.

Xiao Shiyu stood out from so many beautiful girls, and her popularity among the top three did not necessarily depend on her own strength.

The company also provided her with data.

Of course, he would never admit this.
