Chapter 238: Fighting against counterfeiting is hindered, so we have to resort to ruthless tactics
Du Ruo was indeed not from their village, but they did not treat him as an outsider. Moreover, the sea fish Du Ruo gave away yesterday was not given away for free. Although they did not take their own crops like the people in their own village did, they also remembered Du Ruo's favor.
So when Du Ruo encountered trouble, Yang Chenguang just shouted and they came out to help.
Everyone thought it was just a farce, even Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan thought so.
But this incident was also quite disgusting. Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan's good mood was ruined just like that.
……
"Brother Li, what should we do now?"
The people from Qiao Qili's team were driven out of the village. They were sitting in the car at this time, but they were not too panicked. In fact, they were quite familiar with this matter. Fighting against counterfeiting definitely involves risks.
And such things will only make them more excited, which is equivalent to confirming the matter.
"What should we do? What else can we do? We are familiar with this matter. Let's report it to the police first and get the receipt. Then we can notify those people in the company and prepare to build momentum and hype this matter up. Since you don't want to drink the toast, you can only drink the penalty wine. Anyway, we won't suffer any loss."
Qiao Qili no longer felt the embarrassment of being surrounded by villagers, and replied with a smile.
"By the way, don't go to town to report the crime."
The car started and Qiao Qili reminded the driver.
"Hey, I understand. Let's go to the Municipal Bureau."
The driver laughed. A village like this would inevitably have intersections with the town. If he went to the town to report a case, he might be blocked as soon as he left the police station.
The car drove quite fast, and it took only about 40 minutes to get to the Municipal Bureau. During this process, their company had already prepared all the materials shot by Qiao Qili's team about the cemetery in Yongzhou. They just had to wait for Qiao Qili to get the receipt, and then record a video to expose the incident so that they could hype it up on the Internet.
As for the videos in Du Ruo's yard just now, they were actually not important. They were made for Du Ruo and the others to watch, and it was expected that they were taken away.
They couldn't enter the municipal bureau building, so they reported the case in a hall nearby.
It was just a bit unexpected that when they first reported the case, the police officers who received them were very polite and someone immediately took them to take a statement.
However, when he heard that it was about the homestay in Yangjia Village at the foot of Huangshan Mountain, the record was paused for a while, and then the young policeman who was taking the record was replaced by a middle-aged policeman.
After that, the questioning became more detailed, but Qiao Qili didn't think there was anything wrong.
"By the way, the B&B owner you mentioned is called Du Ruo, right? Are you sure?"
After the middle-aged man asked about the whole process, he did not ask more about the cause and process of the incident. Instead, he asked one more question about something that Qiao Qili had explained very clearly.
"Yes, I'm sure."
Qiao Qili nodded, very sure.
"Okay, think about it again, have you ever had any physical contact with this person called Du Ruo?"
The middle-aged man nodded and asked another unrelated question.
"That's not the case. Du Ruo didn't do anything, but those villagers..."
Qiao Qili also wanted to lead the matter to Du Ruo, and he wanted to say that it was Du Ruo who instructed the villagers to drive people away and beat people.
"You answer whatever I ask."
The middle-aged policeman did not listen to what Qiao Qili said later. After confirming that the two had no contact, he did not ask any more questions.
"Okay, how long will it take to get the receipt?"
Qiao Qili also realized that something was wrong at this time, but there was nothing wrong with the police procedures, so he couldn't tell what was wrong. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible for fear of causing more trouble.
"After I take the statement and put it into the file, I can give it to you within the hour."
The middle-aged policeman collected the recorded things, then glanced at the recorder that had been recording, and said one more thing:
"It's fine for you to fight fakes, and we have no right to interfere, but what you post online must be objective and fair, and not distort the facts. I know you should have recordings and the like, so when you upload them online, don't take them out of context, otherwise you will need to bear the corresponding responsibilities and consequences."
When the middle-aged policeman said this, his face was serious, and it was unclear whether it was advice or a warning.
"Yes, yes, don't worry, we will definitely seek truth from facts."
Qiao Qili only realized it at this time. Thinking back to the whole process of coming to the police station, it seemed that everything became different from the moment the name Du Ruo was mentioned, so he nodded repeatedly and now just wanted to leave here quickly.
However, the bureau had no intention of making things difficult for him, and even gave him the receipt very quickly.
After Qiao Qili got his things, he did not go back directly, but instead booked a room at a hotel in the city. Perhaps due to psychological factors, he subconsciously chose a hotel that was closer to the Municipal Bureau.
When he was in the bureau, Qiao Qili was still hesitant, but after he came out, that fear was thrown behind his mind. There was no other way, money was attractive, such an opportunity was rare, and they had already spent a lot of financial resources. If they gave up like this, even if he agreed, those team members who were waiting to share the money would not agree.
So after returning to the hotel, Qiao Qili immediately filmed a video, but after thinking it over, he did not immediately go up to confirm the evidence. Instead, he first used a small account to upload the video of the Zhou Family Tomb in Yongzhou to various platforms.
The Internet is like this. If you want to warm up, you can't just come in and attack someone. Also, the daytime video of the Zhou Family Tomb can also borrow from the popularity of "Brother Quan".
Wait until the video goes viral, then find a few "sharp-eyed netizens" to raise questions about the video. When the traffic increases, they will come on stage and start comparing it with Du Ruo's live broadcast video to start confirming the facts, and then wait for the video to ferment.
They then edited the footage they captured with their pinhole camera and released it before making the final decision.
They are very familiar with these processes, and they also need special promoters to hype up the videos. I believe that it won't be long before they can take advantage of this wave of traffic and start releasing several explosive anti-counterfeiting videos that they had filmed long ago, and then they will naturally become famous in one fell swoop.
As for Du Ruo? That has nothing to do with them. Qiao Qili's team has already determined that Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan are just hyping and faking things. In this case, self-proof is useless.
The best way is to stay out of the spotlight for the time being. With them firing the first shot, I believe that bloggers of all sizes who are seeking traffic will flock to the place and start taking pictures of the homestay and pub where Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan are staying.
"The video has been released, right? We're going to stream it, and then have other anchors under our company re-make videos and start sending them out. Hehe, it's time for us to become famous."
Qiao Qili asked the assistant beside him. He seemed to have seen the end of Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan. He also seemed to have seen the day when they would become famous and one advertisement would earn hundreds of thousands. He couldn't help but smile when he thought about it.
The popularity of a video usually doesn't happen overnight. It requires a lot of people to forward and hype it up. Today's big data is terrifying. As long as you watch a video for a few seconds longer, there will be a steady stream of similar videos pushed to you later.
Not only that, when many casual bloggers see a video start to appear frequently and its number of views starts to surge, they will record similar videos. In this way, it won’t take long for the topic to become bigger.
Recently, "Brother Quan" has a lot of traffic, and Du Ruo also has a lot of traffic. I believe this topic will become popular soon.
"Brother Li, this is a bit strange. The video we posted with our secondary account was banned. It was banned right after we started streaming it."
Just as the assistant was about to take out his cell phone to contact other anchors in the company, he received a message from the technical department first.
"It's banned. Maybe it's because of the sensitivity of the cemetery. It's okay. Let those anchors start quoting it and then send it out. But pay attention to the time. Don't send it out at the same time and start hammering Du Ruo directly."
Qiao Qili didn't think much about it. Fame and fortune were right in front of him. As long as the original video was there, it would be fine. Besides, they didn't slander Du Ruo. Even if there was no original video, it would just be not so natural at most. It didn't matter at this point.
Next, some anchors under Qiao Qili's name began to send out the edited videos one after another.
"Brother Li, a streamer's video has been banned, and the number of views has just reached 10,000."
"Brother Li, three more anchors' videos have been banned, and the total number of views is less than 20,000."
"Brother Li, the subsequent anchor videos cannot be posted anymore. They have directly failed the review..."
……
"Brother Li, what should we do... let's just forget it"
Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel. Qiao Qili, who originally wanted to hype himself, was poured a bucket of cold water.
The assistant seemed to see a big hand controlling everything, as if trying to stop them.
"Damn it, do you know how much money we spent going to Yongzhou and coming here? If we forget it, will you pay for it?
I used my big account to post a preview, and it will be live tonight to warm up, saying that we will reveal a big melon tomorrow. When we started the live broadcast tomorrow morning, we went directly to the scene. I still don’t believe it. So many big anchors can be hit, but he is different. "
Qiao Qili gritted his teeth and thought, don't think that fighting against counterfeiting doesn't cost anything. They have so many people and the expenses are not small. And now they are trapped and are in a dilemma.
I might as well burn my boats and warm up tonight. I'll be more obscure and not mention people's names directly. I'll just say some place names and time without mentioning people's names. When the time comes, I'll go directly to the B&B to live broadcast. As long as I can capture a little bit, I believe people will be able to connect the dots. I'll release the video later, even if it's banned.
The Internet is different now. The more something is banned, the more curious people will be, and it will surely spread.
"But it's hard for us to benefit from this. Without hype, the benefits we can get are limited."
Assistants are not there to do nothing. There is nothing wrong with Qiao Qili's idea, but it requires a process for the matter to ferment. Once Du Ruo is disgraced, the traffic that they, the whistleblowers, can get will be very little, and it will be impossible to achieve the desired results.
"Well, let's add fuel to the fire. Since I've already offended him, let's offend someone more severely... I'm going to call someone now and we'll go together tomorrow."
Qiao Qili's thoughts turned, he gritted his teeth, and felt that a fierce attack was coming, so he immediately picked up his phone and started making a call.
"Hey, buddy, I have a big job for you to do... Don't worry, it's just a fake job, just come and you will be famous... Okay, I'll take you to the second floor when the time comes, I guarantee you will be satisfied."
……
Qiao Qili was calling people, preparing to "kill" Du Ruo in one fell swoop tomorrow.
And people in Kyoto were also discussing Du Ruo.
