Reborn: Billionaire in College

Chapter 125 Is this something I can watch without paying?

There is a huge activities page on the homepage of Renren.com.

When I clicked on it, I saw a few big words: "Renren.com's First Campus Spokesperson Selection Competition."

"In just half a year, Renren has become the favorite SNS social networking site for students in Dongjiang universities. Here we have made new friends, met old friends, and gained happiness and touched people. We hope to select a spokesperson who fits the image of Renren, who is young, energetic and full of positive energy, so we held the first campus image spokesperson selection competition. The final champion will sign a contract with Renren, and the contract prize money will not be less than 100,000 yuan.

Preliminary round: All college students in Dongjiang universities can submit their resumes (including photos) to Renren mailbox by self-recommendation or recommendation. Those who meet the requirements will be shortlisted for the preliminary round. The preliminary round adopts a voting system, and the top 16 in the overall ranking will be shortlisted for the quarterfinals.

Quarterfinals: Sixteen contestants will compete against each other in pairs.

How to obtain Renren Tickets:

1. Sign in daily to get 5 votes.

2. Share your friends' successful registration and you will get 2 votes. (Can be accumulated repeatedly.)
3. Post and reply in relevant topic groups every day to get 5 votes.

4. Purchase the cheering gift pack in Renren Mall to get tickets. See the mall for details. ”

The "Campus Ambassador" activity that many Renren employees have been looking forward to has finally started.

Internally at Renren, this event is also called the "School Beauty Contest."

Aren’t the boys the happiest people to be able to gather the campus beauties from the fifty universities in Dongjiang to hold such an event?

It's simply a real welfare benefit.

Chen Pingjiang did not hold a separate on-campus preliminary selection in each university, mainly because there were too many universities and insufficient manpower. Otherwise, if all were ranked, the final would have to be held in the second half of the year.

Therefore, the school's preliminary selection was changed to a form of self-recommendation and recommendation.

If a school's most attractive students don't participate in the competition, they deserve to lose.

Of course, the external tone is that as college students in the new era, we are required to develop all-roundly in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor. In addition to image and temperament, inner qualities are also very important.

But students will vote with their feet and only choose the right one.

"Who is this woman? Why isn't our media goddess Pei Wenping here? This woman can't represent our School of Media. Pei Wenping is much prettier than her."

"Didn't you read the explanation of the event? You need to recommend yourself or get a recommendation. Didn't Pei Wenping from your college sign up? But I'm curious about what the goddess from the School of Media looks like? Brother, do you have a photo? Send it to me and I'll help you appreciate it."

“Is this activity discriminating against boys? Why are there no boys on the selection page?”

"It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman. If you're Daniel Wu, then recommend yourself."

"I've heard that there are no beautiful girls in the University of Science and Technology. Today I see that it's true."

"The guy upstairs, if you have the guts to come to our school and say this, I will respect you as a man."

"Thanks to Renren, Mr. Chen, and various TV stations, I have the material for tonight."

“Can I see these without paying?”

"..."

Hot before frying!

And it is getting worse.

Beautiful girls and handsome guys are always good gimmicks, especially when mixed with a sense of honor. No one wants to see that the goddess of their school is not as good as the one in the next school.

The contestants participating in the preliminaries were climbing up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

College students are all representatives of flamboyant personalities. Many of them want to show themselves, or go directly for the 100,000 yuan prize. Others are simply overwhelmed by the sense of collective honor and want to restore the reputation of their school.

Renren.com temporarily formed a preliminary selection committee to review the contestants.

"This girl is pretty good. I never thought there would be a beauty of this level in Sanjiang College."

"Damn it, next one, this guy dares to come to the competition, I can only say he is very courageous."

"Oh, not bad, this is my dish."

Wan Yuqian watched the people in front of her commenting on the contestants' photos and shook her head helplessly: "Please, you are just reviewing the entries, not the judges of the beauty pageant."

Chen Pingjiang smiled and shook his finger: "Senior sister, this is wrong. If it can't impress us, how can it impress other Renren users?"

"Yes, I am treating every preliminary resume seriously with extreme professionalism, rigorous attitude and objective spirit, and strive to select high-quality contestants and bring wonderful activities to Renren users. Besides, if I don't select more strictly, people will think that there is no one at Renren."

In addition to launching a special event page on the Renren homepage, the webmasters of each school also organized personnel to cooperate with the ground promotion team to place advertisements on the campuses of each school.

In just half a day, the entire Dongjiang University campus heard about the campus image spokesperson selection contest.

No company, school or individual has ever organized a similar event, so even though the event was just launched, it attracted enough attention.

It even alarmed many school teachers, who rushed to Renren to check out the situation.

"What if someone cheats in votes? By constantly inviting people, they end up with more votes than more outstanding contestants." Wan Yuqian thought for a moment and asked.

Chen Pingjiang sneered: "That depends on whether he pulls more people or I move my fingers faster."

Chen Pingjiang allowed everyone to compete within the rules, but if anyone tried to take advantage of loopholes and disrupted the order of the competition, Chen Pingjiang had plenty of ways to punish them severely, because he had the final say over the competition. Whose competition didn't involve some shady dealings?
If you want the competition to be popular, you must send the most talked-about and best players to the quarterfinals or even the finals, otherwise no one will watch.

------

When more and more contestants successfully passed the review and their photos were posted on the event page, the campus image spokesperson event suddenly became popular.

Chen Pingjiang wondered where these animals got such great enthusiasm from.

Many school officials have begun to pay attention to the competition, and some have even participated in person. No matter what, this is also a great opportunity to promote the school.

There are indeed enough advantages to hold similar competitions in Dongjiang because there are so many colleges and universities.

There are 50 colleges and universities in Dongjiang City, including 34 undergraduate schools and 16 technical colleges, including many 985/211 schools and even military academies.

The total number of students on campus exceeds 70, and this does not include the number of graduate students.

Previously, due to the limitations of computer penetration and other factors, Renren only had 25 registered users.

However, as soon as the campus image spokesperson activity was launched and became a hot topic, the number of registered users of Renren began to rise steadily, and in just one day the number of registered users exceeded 30.

The next day, as soon as Chen Pingjiang arrived at the office, he grabbed someone from the content department and asked, "How many votes are there?"

Zhuo Ling looked at the page and replied, "The total number of votes has exceeded 15. After yesterday's promotion, more and more registered users have learned about the competition. It is estimated that there is a high probability that the number of votes will exceed 50 today."

Chen Pingjiang nodded: "Arrange some people to open some fake accounts, post some exaggerated remarks, and further increase the popularity."

Zhuo Ling blinked in confusion: "Uh, what are these exaggerated remarks?"

"For example, someone would post a comment under a contestant from Dongjiang University saying, 'You have the nerve to participate in the image contest with this quality? My 80-year-old grandmother is of better quality than you.'"

"I went to the Normal University and commented, 'Such a beautiful girl has so few votes. Are all the men in your school dead?'"

"For example, reveal some dirty secrets about the school's most beautiful girl or school hunk, such as 'I heard that guy in your school is a gay?' 'XXX is shameless, stealing someone else's boyfriend, and now you have the nerve to participate in the competition?'"

Chen Pingjiang was smiling in a nasty way, making trouble all the time, it was funny just thinking about it.

Zhuo Ling's eyes widened, "Boss, you are such a dog."

"In short, they create conflicts and make students from every school hate the same enemy. They can even let different contestants from the same school canvass for votes and fight against each other."

If it was just a vote where everyone asked silently, it would be too boring. If the topic is not hot enough, it would not be able to generate heat.

Some talent shows in later generations have used this tactic to extreme effect.

"XX's song involves plagiarism."

"XX's dark history."

"XXX is being a big shot and doesn't respect the director."

……

There are so many examples like this. With discussion and topics, the audience naturally has a sense of participation and involvement.

No matter whether they are top students or poor students, freshmen, graduate students or teachers, in Renren's image spokesperson competition, they all become "judges" who can decide whether the contestants stay or go. This turns them from spectators into participants and companions, and they use their own power to send their favorite contestants to the positions they want and accompany their favorite contestants to overcome difficulties.

Everyone in the content department learned very quickly, especially Li Jiantao, whose hands kept typing back and forth on the keyboard, switching between various accounts to leave comments under each contestant.

"I think you shouldn't be participating in the image spokesperson competition, but in the ugliness competition. You almost scared me to tears."

"There are so many beautiful girls in the Normal University. Do you have QQ? I'm a handsome guy from the University of Science and Technology. I want to make friends with you."

"Beauty, your photo is too conservative. It's hard for me to be motivated to vote for you."

"A stupid idiot from Gongda, this kind of person is not even considered the class beauty in our school."

"..."

Chen Pingjiang's "guidance" inadvertently developed Li Jiantao's talent for sharp tongue, and in less than half a day, several of his secondary accounts were reported.

"Fuck you, even though there are fewer boys in our Normal University, there are still girls there. Do you think you, a jerk from the University of Science and Technology, are qualified to pursue girls from our Normal University?"

"Boy, are you good at talking? Which school are you from? Tell me your name and I'll come and play with you."

"..."

Li Jiantao was so engrossed in typing that he didn't notice a pair of resentful eyes staring at him.

After a while, he felt a chill on his neck. When he turned around, he saw his colleague Tao Yuanyong staring at him with a bad look.

"What's wrong?" Li Jiantao asked puzzledly.

Tao Yuanyong pointed at the words on the screen and said in a muffled voice, "It seems that you have forgotten that I am from Gongda. You are scolding me as well."

"Uh." Li Jiantao was speechless for a moment, wondering how could he have forgotten about this. The Content Department has not only students from Donghua University, but also students from other schools.
