Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1134: Meng Chang’s Weibo

The set-up was very simple. It was a huge green screen.

The male actor was on this green screen, wearing a high-tech tight suit and a specially custom-made VR glasses prop, making some inexplicable movements.

It could be seen that this person was very professional. He was working hard to make these seemingly lame movements not so lame.

However, the results were not obvious.

Meng Chang tried to comfort him by the side. “It’s alright. Just let the performance go. In any case, there will be various special effects added. Once the special effects are added, it will immediately get better. The film will definitely not be as awkward as it is now.”

“Aright, we’ll just make up for two more lines after this. Then, we’ll officially start editing and putting together the pre-produced special effects. We have to publish it before tomorrow night.l”

So what if it was awkward for Meng Chang?

In any case, this promotional video was called the ‘VR era concept promotional video’.

The VR glasses in the promotional video were not the real product of the Doubt VR glasses, but a very high-tech and light fake sample.

This was not fake publicity. After all, my promotional video was not called a ‘Doubt VR glasses promotional video’ but a ‘VR era concept promotional video’.

Concept, understand?

My film is to show everyone the possibility of the future. It is a conceptualization. It was not real to begin with.

Meng Chang might have almost finished filming the movie but he still felt emotional. Boss Pei, who had thought of this idea, was really shameless.

What a strange way of thinking!

According to Boss Pei’s plan, this film was meant to raise the expectations of gamers and deepen the unreliable impression of Slow Movement Studio.

The film was almost done. They would be editing it today and tomorrow and adding special effects. They will be releasing the promotional video tomorrow night.

It did not matter if the timing was tight. No one really cared about its effect anyway.

Meng Chang found a random place on the set and sat down seeing that there was almost no problem with the filming. He took out his cell phone and prepared to post on Weibo.

Meng Chang felt a little emotional when he logged onto Weibo again.

Back then, when he founded the Cold-Faced Lady, the information on Weibo was full of energy.

The millions of fans now were basically from his high-intensity marketing. There were some zombie fans that he had bought but most of them were real people. It was enough to show his influence on the internet.

However, Meng Chang had not logged on to Weibo for a long time after the Cold-Faced Lady failed.

The last Weibo post was from half a year ago. At that time, Meng Chang was still scolding the people on Weibo who were rumors that the cold-faced lady was about to close down. He vouched for everyone that the cold-faced lady was living very well.

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. The cold-faced lady had already closed down once and was reborn in Boss Pei’s hands.

He could not help but feel like things had changed.

He opened his private messages. They were filled with unread messages. He scrolled through them, many of them calling him a liar, but he could not reach the end.

However, no one cursed after that. Obviously, the attention on the Internet came and went quickly. Most people had already forgotten about Meng Chang after he disappeared from everyone’s vision for six months.

However, today, this Weibo post was about to be revived and play its role!

Meng Chang was still looking forward to it.

If Boss Pei’s method was feasible, it would prove that his bad reputation was useful.

If Boss Pei could use it, then he could definitely use it as well!

Meng Chang could not wait to test how powerful his bad reputation was. Thus, he immediately wrote a Weibo post and checked if there were no mistakes.

“Life reboots, dreams remain.”

“Ever since the Cold-Faced Lady’s entrepreneurship failed, I have not found a suitable opportunity to communicate with everyone. This time, I want to share my sincere apologies and gratitude, as well as my promise to the future.”

“My entrepreneurial experience might be short, but it can be said to be a hero. An unavoidable responsibility is that I am the first person responsible for the Cold-Faced Lady’s failure in entrepreneurship. I know very well that the Cold-Faced Lady’s failure has caused many people to suffer losses. I will express my deepest apologies to everyone here.”

“Entrepreneurship is a high-risk activity. If someone succeeds, someone will naturally fail. I have no intention to push the failure away from the influence of many external factors. I will bear all the losses.”

“In the future, I will provide marketing and publicity plans for various companies. I will work in this way to pay my debts and carry the responsibilities that I should bear.”

“I will be working with Slow Movement Studio. I’m very honored to be able to do marketing for their new product, VR glasses. I hope that we can be mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation. I also hope that everyone can support this epoch-making VR product. Join me and embrace the future!”

Meng Chang nodded in satisfaction after reading his Weibo message again.

This Weibo post looked very sincere on the surface, but it was actually full of nonsense. It would definitely cause everyone to feel disgusted!

Even though the purpose of this Weibo post was to arouse everyone’s disgust for him, Meng Chang could not write it too deliberately.

For example, he could directly post on Weibo: “What can you do to me if I don’t return the money?”

That would be very effective but it would not match Meng Chang’s hypocritical character. Such ridiculous behavior would easily arouse suspicion.

Thus, this Weibo post had to be realistic. It had to be realistic in order to be confusing.

Just like now, he would first sincerely apologize and express that he would take responsibility. However, at the end, he would change the topic and advertise Slow Movement Studio.

Would everyone think that Meng Chang was genuinely repenting?

Of course not!

On the contrary, it would easily arouse everyone’s disgust. What’s more, it would be done very naturally without leaving any traces.

Meng Chang’s Weibo had millions of fans after all. A large number of netizens replied not long after he posted this Weibo.

“Is this a miracle?”

“F*ck, you liar. How dare you come out and speak?”

“You dare to come out and make your presence known seeing that the cold-faced lady is getting better in Tengda Corporation’s hands?”

“What you wrote on your Weibo was simply shameless!”

“That’s right. There’s no hint of regret at all. On the surface, it looks like an apology, but it’s actually publicity for his new project. He wants to use this Weibo account with millions of fans to continue earning money!”

“Slow Movement Studio actually asked Meng Chang to do publicity? Is their brain fried?!”

“Hehe, he’s not stupid. In the Internet age, bad reputation is better than no reputation. It can be seen from how he used Tengda’s popularity previously. This Slow Movement Studio did everything to become popular. It’s very compatible with Meng Chang.”

“Forget it. We can already sentence these VR glasses to death now. Those that are related to Meng Chang are definitely not good products. It’s too late!”

The corners of Meng Chang’s mouth could not help but curl up as he read everyone’s comments.

Many people were cursing him in the comments but Meng Chang was not angry at all. Instead, he was very happy.

That was because it meant that his bad reputation was indeed useful and the effect was immediate!

A single Weibo post could make everyone, including Slow Movement Studio, curse at it. There was no one else who could achieve such an effect of slandering it.

Boss Pei’s plan had succeeded again!

Meng Chang finally relaxed when he saw that everyone was scolding him on Weibo. Next, he had to edit the promotional video and post it on the internet to boast about it, further aggravating the players’ disgust!

Of course, someone would naturally be in charge of editing the film. Meng Chang did not have to do it personally.

He had more important things to arrange now.

Boss Pei had already spoken to Slow Movement Studio about the publicity plan this time and asked them to cooperate fully. Thus, according to the previous plan, Slow Movement Studio had already sent the mass-produced version of 100 units of Doubt VR glasses to the advertising and marketing department.

In fact, the current Doubt VR was already in the mass-production stage. There was definitely more than that.

However, Boss Pei only wanted 100 units.

The reason was to deliberately create a hunger marketing effect in the beginning to cause players to feel disgusted.

What’s more, these VR glasses were not to be sold. Instead, they were to be given to some UP Masters in the digital and game zones with bad reputations of accepting sponsored partnerships for free. At the same time, they were to be given some “marketing funds” to boast about the VR glasses.

If he were to sell these 100 pairs of glasses, it would indeed not be much. It would not even be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.

However, if he gave it to the UP Masters, it would be good enough. What’s more, he would have more than enough. He might even be able to get to those small UP Masters with thousands of fans.
