Chapter 35 : Five Fen per Post, No Upper Limit
Chapter 35: Five Fen per Post, No Upper Limit
Guo Shuai felt that Chen Fan's approach was too childish.
But Chen Fan used practical actions to tell Guo Shuai that you really don't understand the internet.
After the bounty task was released, the friends in more than twenty QQ groups all exploded.
In those days, people didn't have the concept of internet trolls yet.
People didn't have much impression of trolls either.
The only thing that remained in everyone's mind was Chen Fan's last sentence:
Five fen per post, no upper limit.
Who has money to burn with no place to spend it?
Everyone was discussing fiercely in the groups, all asking which guy was kicked in the head by a donkey.
"One post is five fen, ten posts are fifty fen, a hundred posts are five yuan..."
"And posting one comment probably doesn't even take ten seconds, I can post dozens in a minute."
"If I'm bored and spend a day posting two thousand for him, wouldn't that be a free hundred yuan?"
Friends in the groups began to discuss vehemently.
"I think it's fake, everyone be careful not to believe it."
"Whether it's true or false, try it and you'll know."
"One person one post, post a few hundred each, there are more than a hundred of us in the group, wouldn't that mean we can net a few thousand yuan a day?"
"Anyway, I don't really believe it."
"Hey? Why is no one talking?"
"Damn, these bastards, they were secretly running off to post comments..."
"Oh man, that's too sneaky, they were just shouting for everyone not to fall for it, but they themselves went to pick up the money..."
Similar chats played out in every QQ group.
As the person involved, Guo Shuai witnessed all of this firsthand.
"If they really did post comments, will you actually pay them?"
Chen Fan nodded.
"Of course. They put in labor, we pay them, it's reasonable."
Guo Shuai didn't understand: "But...everyone is scattered all over, how will you give them the money?"
"You can't wire it to each person one by one, right? That would be too much trouble, not even worth the wire fees."
Chen Fan smiled, as if he had a plan all along.
"No need for that hassle, we'll just give the money directly to the front desks of these few internet cafes."
"After all, most of the people were brought in by them, so they know each other anyway."
"Plus they are all the group admins, so it's easier for them to communicate with us."
Guo Shuai still didn't understand.
"Even if you give all the money to these front desk admins, they can't mail it to everyone's hands, right?"
Chen Fan rolled his eyes.
"Brother, use your brain, can't you? Can't you think of another way?"
"Tell them the small change is too little to wire, just issue game points, point cards or other game currency directly..."
Guo Shuai's eyes suddenly lit up.
"That's right, this perfectly solves the settlement problem."
But soon Guo Shuai thought of a new problem.
"How do we verify each person's posts, what if someone cheats?"
Chen Fan patiently explained: "Have them post IP comment screenshots, only comments with their own IP screenshots count, the others are considered cheating..."
"Also, there are so many people, we can't possibly manage them all, you can have these group admins be secondary agents, and you be the boss directing from behind the scenes."
"After a while, you can nurture a group of people you trust to be agents."
"As long as you get the management system set properly, you'll only need to give the money to the secondary agents, and they'll take care of the rest."
Chen Fan also told Guo Shuai, if this method works, he can keep nurturing these trolls in the future.
Pick out a few trustworthy admins from them to become his employees.
The employees don't need to work, they get paid by task.
Whenever there is a task, we just tell the secondary agents and pay them, and don't need to manage anything else.
Once this system is mature, it's like having an invisible gang of henchmen on the internet.
Want to attack someone? The boss just gives an order, and naturally the secondary agents will lead hordes of trolls swarming over...
Guo Shuai was scared by the picture Chen Fan painted.
He looked at Chen Fan with astonishment, like he was meeting this friend for the first time.
"What are you looking at?"
Guo Shuai reached out and pinched Chen Fan's face.
"Damn, we had the same teacher, how come you understand so much more?"
"Are there really levels of talent among people?"
Chen Fan shook his head speechlessly.
"It's not that I'm smart, you're just stupid."
"Hey! Do you have to be so direct?"
Chen Fan smiled at Guo Shuai.
"In the future I won't have the energy to manage this area, I plan to hand these people over to you to manage."
Guo Shuai's eyes widened.
"You...want me to manage them?"
Chen Fan nodded.
"Of course. On the condition that you're willing."
"I'm willing, of course I'm willing."
Guo Shuai nodded excitedly.
To be honest, he didn't fully understand the troll implications that Chen Fan described yet.
The only thought in his mind now was that if he had such a group of people, he could create a guild in the game, and then have PK battles with other guilds.
He would just need to wave his hand, and countless brothers would charge forward....
Just thinking about it made him feel awesome.
Seeing this guy sitting there with a silly grin, Chen Fan knew Guo Shuai's mind had already wandered off somewhere.
He shook his head and ignored him.
Chen Fan still trusted Guo Shuai a lot.
Although this guy was unreliable sometimes.
But for a small task like distributing payments to each internet cafe, Chen Fan believed Guo Shuai could definitely complete it properly.
As for this troll group, it's up to Guo Shuai whether he can maintain it or not.
If he loses interest in the future, then it disbands, so be it.
After all, Chen Fan himself is not interested in this.
On the first day the task was released, there weren't too many comments on Yiyu.com yet.
After all, at this time many people were still taking a wait-and-see attitude.
But as night fell around 8pm, someone in the group posted a screenshot.
"Oh shit, there really is a salary paid."
"And they even paid in game points."
"So awesome."
"If I spend an hour or two posting comments every day, wouldn't I earn back the internet cafe fees in just a few days?"
"Tomorrow I'm going to post for him nonstop..."
Those friends who didn't post out of skepticism saw this scene, and cried out in regret, as if they had missed out on a fortune.
And those originally uninterested friends also began asking the group admins about how to post comments and get paid...
And Chen Fan's one casual suggestion actually sparked enthusiasm in most of the netizens.
That was, compared to earning pocket money,
Many people seemed to prefer the way of settling with game point cards or points.
After all, for most young people, the purpose of going online was to play games.
Game point cards or points were extremely tempting to them.
Just move your hands to post a few comments, and you get a free point card.
How could they not do it?
This was simply too enticing.
...
The next day.
Overwhelming comments began appearing on the forums of Yiyu.com.
