Silicon Valley.

Makino Technology's single-family villa office building.

Li Mu set up a front-line command center in the conference room.

The key person in charge of the entire competition and activity is working in the conference room. The domestic technical team keeps video connections in real time. The server team always monitors the server's load pressure. This situation is comparable to Taobao Brand Day and 929 promotions.

The data climbs faster than imagined.

The number of applicants has grown rapidly, one million, one million, two million, two million, two million, three million…

The speed of climbing made Li Mu stunned.

milln-dollar-beauty has indeed become a super temptation that American female college students cannot resist, and it is very likely to capture all American female college students in one go.

This is very similar to Super Girl, but it is very different.

The cost of participating in the Super Girl competition is very high. Although most girls will have the idea of ​​participating, considering that there are certain requirements for singing, and they need to go to the designated competition area to register and participate in auditions, and there is no phased reward during the promotion process. If you cannot go through the second half of the journey, you will basically be wasted. Moreover, the long-term competition process requires a lot of time, energy and financial resources, and the overall cost is astonishing.

However, the cost of participating in the "Paradise Town Cup - the highest ranking of school beauties in the United States" is to type in the keyboard in front of the computer and fill in an registration information. The process is simple and outrageous, and the cost is even less expensive. More importantly, the rewards are generous in phases, and there is no need to go to the second half. As long as you successfully walk the next journey, you will have generous cash rewards and potential income.

In the face of such huge temptation and great convenience, almost all American female college students were crazy and filled in their registration information as soon as possible.

There are about 15 million college students in the United States, and the ratio of men and women has changed from 2.16:1 after the end of World War II to 1:1.22 now. In other words, in American universities, the number of female students is more than that of male students. Among the more than 15 million, women account for 55%, reaching about 8.5 million.

According to this trend, Li Mu feels that he will receive at least five million American college students' applications.

Among the five million college students, if four people spread within the non-college student group on average, it will add 20 million potential users to "Paradise Town" in the non-college student group.

You should know that before this game was announced, although "Paradise Town" was very popular on university campuses, it has not yet found a suitable opportunity to break through the barriers of campuses. In the United States, except for college students, "Paradise Town" has very few users.

But now everything is changing rapidly.

On that day, while three million people signed up, they also added 8 million new registered users to "Paradise Town". If the credit of these 8 million new registered users is counted to the top of the 3 million registered users, then the number of new users brought by "Paradise Town" is 2.66. It seems that the goal of Li Mu's 4 new users per person is much worse, but this is a day!

The competition has not officially begun. If the competition begins, the competition will even enter a stage of full swing, this value will definitely increase significantly. According to this trend, millions of people directly participate in the competition can leverage at least tens of millions of people indirectly participate and attract hundreds of millions of people to pay attention.

Judging from this data alone, this "Paradise Town Cup - the highest ranking of school beauties in the United States" can definitely reach the heaven-defying level.

It made a big start on the first day of its launch. Everyone in the "front line command" was very excited. Li Mu decided to continue to increase his investment and invested a budget of 15 million US dollars to be used for large-scale TV and offline media advertising in the second and third stages of the competition.

The first stage of the competition is a seven-day selection of universities. After the first place in each university is selected, each person's votes will be cleared, and each player's "resident coupon" rules will also be cleared. After the official awards of "Paradise Town", the competition will be rested for three days, and then the competition will enter the second stage;

After the second phase of the same period lasts for seven days, the number of votes for the champions of each university is recalculated to determine the first place in each state and the SAR, and then continue to enter the award ceremony and enter the third phase after three days of rest.

The third stage is the most eye-catching milln-dollar-beauty link. By that time, fifty-one candidates should have become celebrities in the United States, so the social attention will be very high. "Paradise Town" will continue to enhance the attractiveness of these fifty-one candidates to fans through short video displays. This process will last for ten days until the milln-dollar-beauty, a million-dollar beauty, is selected.

At the beginning of the second stage, the competition broke through the scope of major universities themselves. The more than 3,000 selected people should be beautiful girls with different styles. Therefore, at this stage, large-scale promotion can be carried out to make the audience's attention proudly focus on a few people. For example, in a certain city, candidates in this city will be promoted, so that American audiences from all over the country can form a home consciousness and have their own home school beauties.

In the third stage, when the attention of the whole United States is focused on fifty-one people, the promotion efforts must continue to increase. Li Mu's plan is to keep the relevant information of this game exposed at any cost, not only TV media, traditional paper media, but also iconic locations such as Times Square Big Screen.

...

At the same time, Silicon Valley, which was late to realize, also received the "Paradise Town Cup - the highest ranking of school beauties in the United States" and the "milln-dollar-beauty million-dollar beauty" event news. A powerful data analysis company quickly released the data of "Paradise Town" for ten times. This time, the whole of Silicon Valley was in an uproar!

No one expected that Li Mu would be brewing such a big move after being silent for a few days!

Since Silicon Valley has developed to the present, there have been many technology experts, product experts and business model innovations, but there are still no operation experts who can do business like Li Mu.

If it weren't for seeing the powerful social influence of the "Paradise Town Cup - the highest ranking of school beauties in the United States" and the "millen-dollar-beauty million-dollar beauty", if it were just heard that Li Mu would spend tens of millions of dollars to hold a school beauties selection competition in American universities, the whole Silicon Valley would give him two words disdain: stupid comparison.

However, Li Mu had thoroughly understood the operation and his analysis of the market and users was also detailed to a level beyond the reach of his peers. This made the Silicon Valley people who had been waiting to see Li Mu jokes feel like they had been slapped loudly on their faces, and it was so hot.

At this moment, the most tragic thing is the magazine that special reports on Li Mu and satirizes it. This magazine called "Internet Technology" has a circulation of more than 700,000 copies in North America. However, this is not a great magazine in the United States in 2002. The American print media was highly developed in this era, with more than 10,000 magazines in the United States, of which more than 60 were published by more than one million. Time magazine's circulation of more than 4 million was barely ranked ninth in the year.

The actual circulation of more than 700,000 copies of "Internet Technology" means that they now have more than 700,000 copies of printed and bound magazines waiting to be sent to all parts of the country. However, because Li Mu had played this trick all at once, more than 700,000 copies of magazines were overturned and reprinted.

Magazine is a carrying model of paid content. The core relies on its income is content, and they face deep user groups. Therefore, magazines must ensure that their content can be recognized by their user groups, otherwise subscribers will continue to be lost, and the magazines will not be long before they close.

This time, the headline article of "Internet Technology" criticized the so-called "arrogance" of mocking Li Mu. Originally, the editor-in-chief of "Internet Technology" wanted to be clever and use Li Mu's "failure" to criticize the development of the Chinese Internet industry, and by the way, let readers clearly understand the gap between the Chinese Internet industry and the American Internet industry, which can also be regarded as a certain extent to enhance readers' national pride, making readers happy and enjoyable.

However, before the magazine was released, Li Mu made a perfect reversal. A talent show rooted in colleges and universities quickly affected the entire American society like an earthquake. This speed is amazing, and at the same time, it is even more amazing to Li Mu's strength in strategizing. If he waits for the "Paradise Town Cup - the highest ranking of school beauties in the United States" and the "milln-dollar-beauty million-dollar-beauty" event for two days, it is probably going to be the front page of major media across the United States and attract the attention of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people across the United States. When the magazine is released, when readers see this article criticizing and sarcastic about Li Mu, they will not be able to scold the editorial department for being terrified?

So the only solution at the moment is to remove the content related to Li Mu from this issue of the magazine, and then immediately find an article with a similar content to replace it. The other pages remain unmoved, and then quickly print them out.

In this way, not only wasted the printing cost of more than 700,000 magazines, but the cost of printing the changed magazines is higher than that of ordinary speed printing, so an additional part of the expedited fee is required. This loss is extremely heavy, which makes the entire magazine cry without tears.

In addition to "Internet Technology", two other media in Silicon Valley are planning to criticize Li Mu. One of the new magazines has started printing in the printing factory. As a result, Li Mu was troubled by this, the magazine immediately stopped the magazine. As a result, the printing factory had printed 300,000 copies. There was no way, and the 300,000 copies could only be invalidated immediately, and then the plate was adjusted and reprinted;

The other company was slightly better in luck. Their platemaking was completed and they were about to be sent to the printing factory to start construction. As soon as the "Paradise Town Cup - the highest ranking of school beauties in the United States" event was launched, they immediately gave up the content of this edition and rushed to the new edition.

In addition to the most direct economic losses that the magazine suffered, every venture capital in Silicon Valley was also pounding his chest. Although they did not have a penny to actually lose, in their hearts, the kind of regret was comparable to losing hundreds of millions of dollars...
