Chapter 475: Turning Point
Time goes back to half an hour ago.
The quotation on the webpage has not changed for a long time, and it is still stuck in the quota of 10 million, Jose can't sit still, and Zhou Qian has already rushed over. As soon as the two discussed, it was not a way to go on like this, there was no time for them to hesitate, they had to report the auction as soon as possible, otherwise there would be no time.
"It's my fault, let me say it!"
Zhou Qian took the initiative to undertake the work of reporting, and the auction process was formulated by her at the beginning, and she made the main mistake without detecting such a big loophole in advance. Originally, a good thing was done like this, Zhou Qian was very disappointed, but she had no choice but to walk towards Meng Shu's office.
After arriving at the destination, Zhou Qian took a deep breath and was about to say to the secretary at the front desk, but saw the office door suddenly open.
"Then I'll go first."
The person who opened the door was Alice, she said to the inside of the office, and then closed the door again, Meng Shu didn't see Zhou Qian outside the door.
When Alice saw Zhou Qian, her face flashed with surprise, and then she frowned slightly: "You come with me." ”
She grabbed Zhou Qian's hand and pulled her to the elevator: "Do you want to go to Meng Shu to talk about the auction?" Don't go, I just tried it, and he doesn't know about it yet...... Let's go, follow me to solve this matter, don't let Meng Yu know, he knows it's more troublesome. ”
Alice knew that if he knew about the current auction, he would most likely take one of these two actions: one was to cancel the auction, and the other was to buy it himself, neither of which would have a positive impact on the situation.
Back to Jose's office. Zhou Qian hasn't come back to her senses yet. Alice had already spoken to Jose.
"Now. Immediately expose the vulnerability online and then apologize. ”
Her words were amazing, which made Jose and Zhou Qian feel stunned.
However, Alice's status and influence in Phoenix surpassed theirs, and under her courage, the House of Regrets forum soon released an official statement on the auction page.
The main content of the statement letter is to clarify the loopholes in the auction and admit the mistake.
"I'm sorry, but there were mistakes in this auction, we didn't notice such a big loophole when we set up the process, and we didn't expect such a big repercussion. But that's it. We can't assume that other people's auctions are not counted because of loopholes, and the auctions will continue......"
"This auction has nothing to do with Teacher He, its mistake is the mistake of our staff, if there are any complaints and dissatisfaction, please look at us with reproach, not Teacher He, thank you!"
As soon as this statement came out, it was equivalent to Phoenix Company's acquiescence to the bubble, and the media and press circles were naturally very excited.
"Look, look! Admit it! Dong Chunqiu couldn't help but speak: "I just said that the cartoonist's drawings are worthless, now admit it, right?" ”
There was also an uproar on Weibo. Phoenix's statement was really unexpected, but this statement is useless, right? Websites are still watching the auction. Journalists are writing new stories, and the moment the bubble bursts, everyone can come out and see what a pity.
"What are you doing when you take out the comics and auction them, it's embarrassing, right?"
"And it offended a lot of painters...... This time, he was really shot lying down, and he was attracted by his fans! ”
"The fans are really inhumane, this time it's not only the regrettable painting that is funny, but even his fans have become jokes."
For the first time in history, it was the first time in history that many fans of He Xi had become the target of ridicule for the sake of satirizing the painter - was it really He Xi's fans who were mocking the painter? Of course, it is undeniable that there are such a number of people, but there are many other netizens who follow the trend.
In addition, it was the painter who satirized it first, which made fans even more dissatisfied.
"I'm angry, but it's a pity I don't have any money! Otherwise, I would have bought the painting of the teacher and slapped these people hard! ”
"Yes, me too! Even if it's a bubble, it's a pity that the teacher's painting is a priceless treasure in my heart! ”
In the chat group, fans are arrogant, and Phoenix's statement seems useless, but it is actually very useful.
Even before the announcement, the news of the auction bubble had already spread, and even if it wasn't announced, most readers knew about it. After the statement was announced, it gave readers a positive sense, and the correct attitude of Phoenix Company did not lead to the anger of these readers on this company.
Alice's approach is very simple, whether it is a painter or the media, in fact, the biggest threat to this auction is the readers, and if the readers are not angry with the Phoenix Company, then the matter will not be too big.
And a statement, after being spread among the readership, everyone forgave Phoenix. After all, the auction has developed to this point, and it is easy to see that Phoenix Company is also a victim, and the statement also said that the target of this auction at the beginning was their readers, not those rich people, and the auction was so large that it was beyond the expectations of the forum administrators.
This gives readers a message: this auction was originally a small surprise for ordinary fans, but it has expanded rapidly with the intervention of well-intentioned people, and has reached the current level. In fact, this was really Zhou Qian's idea at the beginning, and there are too many reasons to prove this.
Let's say there is no pre-advertising before the auction and the auction time is midnight...... No matter how you look at it, it's a small auction that only veteran fans can know.
Early in the morning, it became so well-known, it was not the original intention of the Phoenix Company, let alone the original intention of the company.
Time slowly transitions, only fifteen minutes left, 10 million bubbles will burst, after the bubble bursts, it is likely to have a chain bursting effect, no one knows whether those presidents will continue to increase prices, which makes readers feel anxious, the reason for their anxiety is not the bursting of the bubble, but ......
"You can't let the teacher be laughed at by those bastard painters!"
"Yes, I don't want to see the newspapers laughing at the teacher!"
"Ten million, I think this painting is definitely worth ten million! Others don't believe it has, we do! Everyone, for the sake of the teacher, for the sake of "Madoka Magical Girl", let's crowdfund together! We bought the painting together and asked Phoenix to put it on the manga island and write down our names!! ”
After the incident fermented, a girl suddenly stood up, and she launched a crowdfunding campaign on the He Xi Home forum. The purpose of this crowdfunding is to gather the strength of all the people, then buy the painting, and have Phoenix take the picture in the comic island, display it, and write the name of each reader who participated in the crowdfunding next to it.
The idea is very simple, and it has been embraced by many enthusiastic readers in an instant, but it is difficult to implement.
First of all, the problem of funding, the goal of crowdfunding is 10 million, but even if 1,000 people participate, an average of 10,000 people will be needed, and this number is almost impossible to reach. However, after discussion, the crowdfunding took 10 million as the ultimate goal, and in fact, readers could raise as much as they could to buy the painting...... If it fails, the money from the crowdfunding will be returned to everyone.
This was a big problem, and although there was not much confidence, it was eventually agreed by the vast majority of people. And then the most critical thing, such a huge crowdfunding, no one is at ease to hand over the money to others, which requires the active help of Phoenix Company.
And Phoenix's response was very fast, in fact, this matter was initiated by Alice behind the scenes, and when the popularity of crowdfunding rose almost, she asked Jose to open a crowdfunding page, which is the same as the auction page, in which you can donate freely, as long as the total amount exceeds the maximum amount of the auction and lasts for two hours, the crowdfunding is considered successful.
And after success, the painting will be exhibited on the comic island, and those who participate in the crowdfunding will leave their names, and of course Phoenix will not take the money, but will turn it into an open and transparent charitable fund......
"When I went to see Meng Huo today, I heard him say that his charity fund is about to be built, and I can take this opportunity to raise its popularity......
Alice explained in Jose's office that if the crowdfunding was successful, there would be too many benefits, first of all, Meng Shu's charitable fund could be noticed before it was born, which was equivalent to free advertising. At the same time, this painting is placed on the manga island, which can be turned into a viewing place, which is also of great benefit to the development of the manga island.
"The readers who participated in the crowdfunding, they knew that their names were left on the comic island, how could they not come and see them...... Maybe we can build a comic exhibition hall, and it will sell better in the future when traveling and surrounding areas......"
Alice smiled at Zhou Qian: "And the worst result is just a failure in the auction, I believe that with Meng Huo's fan cohesion and the promotion of two fan groups, this matter will definitely attract attention, at least to make up for the reputation loss caused by the auction mistake, it is more than enough to rub ......"
Alice has the card of the pro-guard team in her hand, and Zhou Qian has the big sister alliance in her hand, and the crowdfunding can be vigorous even if it is not successful!
'The first fan crowdfunding campaign in history', 'What a pity that the fan cohesion is against the sky'
As long as there is news like this, the fan's activity can offset the loss of the auction mistake.
After listening to Alice's plan, Zhou Qian and Jose were speechless: they can turn disasters into opportunities, and they can turn disasters into good things that will win no matter what-Alice, how terrible this woman is!
In this way, when the two-hour timer was over and the 10 million bubble burst, the crowdfunding that appeared left everyone who was ready to see the joke dumbfounded. (To be continued......)
