Chapter 240: Chapter 227 Are There So Many Obsessed Fans? (4k)_2 Chapter 240: Chapter 227 Are There So Many Obsessed Fans? (4k)_2 He saw the user data from the small scale event this ti.
The small scale event required participants to submit their ID details, so they could clearly see the identities of the individuals behind it.
Indeed, among the users for this small event, young won were the main demographic, which aligned with the characteristics of a celebrity’s fanbase.
There were also a few young n, who might have been fans of Wu Mu as well, since he always had a good reputation among males.
However, besides these two groups, among the twenty thousand, there were almost three thousand people over thirty years old.
That seed a bit off, as people of that age group, even if they liked a celebrity, were rarely likely to participate in boosting sales figures.
Especially since there were quite a few in their forties and fifties, you couldn’t really say they were chasing celebrities to support their idols.
This didn’t align with real-world logic at all.
But these people were definitely brought in by Wu Mu, as their new car’s pre-orders hadn’t increased at all since the live streaming incident, only continuing to drop.
“Did Wu attract these genuine potential custors through his own influence?”
Wang Hongtao was utterly perplexed.
He really couldn’t figure out how Wu could have influence among these demographics.
Was Wu’s influence that frightening?
But the reality was right in front of him.
And now wasn’t the ti to linger on these questions, the most important thing now was…
With an excited flush, Wang Hongtao said, “Quick, release our new pre-order data imdiately, boost the potential custors’ confidence, and let everyone know that those considering our car are not in the minority!”
To him, even a hundred real potential custors were better than ten thousand who might cancel.
Eh, was he feeling a glimr of hope for a turnaround?
Maybe their new car wouldn’t need to wait until the hype cooled down before being salvaged?
…
It was eight o’clock in the evening again.
On Weibo, Huiteng Automobile—New Energy Division’s official account posted a new ssage: “Huiteng Yi-Feng’s new pre-orders reached 20,173 in 24 hours, sincerely thanking our consurs for their support and affection. (Picture) (Picture)”
This new Weibo post undoubtedly caught everyone’s attention quickly.
And then the netizens who had been criticizing Wu, were completely baffled.
Huh? How many?
Over twenty thousand!?
“No way, does Wu’s dog have that many fans?”
“Holy smokes! Twenty thousand! It seems like the previous popular car models took over ten days to reach that! Wu’s dog fans helped him reach it in 24 hours?”
“No way, are his fans brain-dead, able to boost anything? Even car sales?”
“Uh oh, it looks like the thing we were worried about is really happening…”
Everyone had a sense of horror that their worries had co true.
They had seen this scenario too many tis, but previously they were just onlookers, able to enjoy the show with amusent.
Now that they were actually involved, they realized how exaggerated it was.
Why on earth!
Wu, a collapsed idol, who also claid not to want fans, was now endorsing a company opposed by everyone.
With so many negative factors combined, could there still be so many people boosting his data?
Was Wu secretly hiding so many fans?
The key point was, as this tweet was posted, the attached pictures also revealed a detailed profile of the people who had made the pre-orders.
And then everyone also realized that not all were just there to boost the numbers; so really might be genuine potential custors influenced by Wu.
This discovery undoubtedly puzzled everyone even more.
Wu actually had influence in this demographic?
How on earth had he managed that?
Before, people knew Wu might secretly have a loyal fanbase that supported whatever he did, but they never had the data to back it up; now this data from Huiteng Automobile seed to finally bring these people into the public eye.
But this exposure only made everyone more puzzled.
Users over the age of thirty to forty… how did they co to follow Wu?
And even influenced by Wu to order cars?
No way, does Wu really have such charm!?
Everyone started to feel a bit uneasy inside, getting a strong sense of being about to be proven wrong.
Online, everyone was puzzled, but Wu Mu found none of this strange at all.
This group of people was clearly influenced by the Performance Card, genuine buyers with real purchasing intentions.
However, the young won in the mix did surprise him.
Were they his fans?
How had they also started helping to boost his data out of nowhere?
This kind of thing had not happened before.
Confused for a while, Wu Mu quickly realized, “This might also be a marketing effect created by the system.”
In the end, these people might just be ineffective data, as they obviously weren’t likely to really spend money to boost his sales.
However, their presence could generate the necessary buzz and influence those potential real custors.
After all, small deposits were refundable and didn’t require spending actual money.
The main data to watch would still be from the large, non-refundable deposits.
“The system must have sothing planned next,” Wu Mu guessed.
…
Wang Hongtao’s newly released data, apart from being followed by netizens, attracted even more attention from others.
For instance, competing firms.
Qingyang Automobile’s boss, seeing Huiteng Automobile’s latest data, was livid.
“Can this really turn things around for them?”
As a competitor, this was an outright conflict of interests, especially since Qingyang Automobile had a model directly competing with Huiteng’s new car.
Their model and Huiteng’s new model were both positioned as daily utility vehicles priced around eighty to ninety thousand.
Clearly, Huiteng’s new project was aid directly at their model.
Under these circumstances, if Huiteng’s car ca to market, it would literally be snatching food right out of their mouth.
Every extra car Huiteng sold ant one less sold by them.
With such fierce competition, the Qingyang boss really wished Huiteng’s new car would just die.
Thus, they had discretely put substantial effort into expanding the scandal involving Huiteng’s new car, spending a lot of money on sar campaigns and marketing material from various automotive influencers.
Just when it seed like Huiteng’s new car was indeed dood, as though no one would buy it even if it hit the market,
who could have predicted that everything would be disrupted by a new celebrity endorser hired by Huiteng?
He never imagined a star could wield such power.
Besides fans helping to manipulate the data, the key was that it shifted the focus of the controversy.
Now people online were cursing him instead of focusing on Huiteng’s new car.
“No, we need to find a way to bring the focus back, can’t let them recover.”
The Qingyang boss furrowed his brow in contemplation.
Quickly, he concocted a good plan.
He summoned an employee nad Zhang Shan. “Is their new car still at the Shen City Auto Show Pavilion?”
Zhang Shan, well aware of the competitor’s details, confird, “Yes, it’s wrapped in a car cover, just waiting to be unveiled.”
The Qingyang boss nodded, “Find so people, disguise them as fans of that celebrity Wu Mu, and have them tear off the car cover at the show, scratch the paint, deflate the tires, and act like they’re fans dissatisfied with the celebrity. Pretend online protest was ineffective, and resort to direct action.”
Focus was on that celebrity, right? Then he would forcibly bind the two together again!
Zhang Shan hesitated, “Boss, that’s illegal.”
The Qingyang boss had already planned ahead, “Just scratching so paint and deflating tires, what’s illegal about that? Just insist it was the fans of that celebrity, acting out of anger. It would be rely a minor economic dispute at most, paying compensation will settle it.”
“Don’t get caught on the spot; scratch it, curse, and run. And rember, don’t escalate it into a conflict with others or break any glass, keep everything within limits.”
Hearing his boss’s instructions, Zhang Shan hesitated for a mont, then finally nodded.
