Chapter 237: Anti-counterfeiting Internet celebrities come to fight against counterfeiting
But at that time, Xiang Yuanyuan had just started to change her shooting style, and Du Ruo didn't even have two accounts, so only Xiang Yuanyuan's fans skyrocketed for a while, and then returned to calm.
However, as Xiang Yuanyuan posted more and more videos, until that time Du Ruo accidentally connected to Brother Quan in "Brother Quan Appraising Treasures".
Because of the explosive show effect and the sudden increase in the number of fans of "Brother Quan", Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan also became popular on the Internet.
Especially Du Ruo, the former "Kung Fu master", and now some "mysterious martial arts successor", labels such as "real Kung Fu" and "killing skills" have begun to appear on Du Ruo.
Of course, the two's sudden popularity did not escape the attention of Qiao Qili's team.
In their guess, this Du Ruo should be playing a big game of chess, and he might be an invisible capital tycoon.
They use the traffic of tens of millions of internet celebrities such as "Damo" and "Quan Ge" to build their personalities, and the ultimate goal is nothing more than bringing goods or selling courses.
They seemed to have seen that once Du Ruo opened an account and started posting videos, as long as he carefully designed the script and promoted his character, perhaps another tens of millions-level internet celebrity would be born.
Qiao Qili has even thought of the script. For example, a star sprains his ankle, and Du Ruo comes to treat him and promotes medicinal wine at the same time, which can immediately sell out.
Or if a "bull" goes crazy, Du Ruo will go up and kill the bull with just a few hits, and then start selling courses at night, such as the introduction to Kung Fu for 1888, Master Du's guidance class for 6888, lifelong teaching for 38888, and on-site apprenticeship for 98888.
It is entirely conceivable that once Du Ruo really devotes all his energy to building his character, there will really be fools who will buy these courses or medicinal liquors.
Therefore, Qiao Qili's team decided to make a lot of money from Du Ruo before he created an account and officially started to reap the leeks of his "fans and family".
If they are sensible, they are only after money. For someone who can get tens of millions of internet celebrities to cooperate in creating show effects, it is not too much for them to ask for a seven-digit salary.
Of course, if Du Ruo is unwilling to pay, that doesn't matter. They can just fight against counterfeiting directly. Then they will step on the stage set up by Du Ruo, wear the wedding dress prepared by Du Ruo, and make their debut. Maybe they will be the next internet celebrity worth tens of millions.
Of course, they are professionals. The reason they dare to fight against counterfeiting is that they have some "explosive information" that can prove Du Ruo's mistake.
……
In the morning, Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan lay comfortably on the recliners, listening to the music coming from the house. A pot of hot tea was brewing on the coffee table in the middle. They enjoyed the tranquility of the moment immensely.
On the coffee table, a kestrel was tearing a small piece of tuna with its sharp claws and beak.
"This little guy has gained a lot of weight. Did you feed him too much?"
Du Ruo looked at Hong Xun who was eating with relish and asked Xiang Yuanyuan.
"Ah? Really? Hmm... I seem to have gained some weight. Is it because we are going to face winter?"
Xiang Yuanyuan turned her head and looked at the kestrel on the coffee table. She was unwilling to admit the fact that she was feeding the kestrel like a pig.
"Just spoil it. This guy is stupid to begin with, and you've made him so fat. What if he can't fly anymore?"
Du Ruo curled her lips and spoke with a smile on her face. After she finished speaking, she stretched out her finger and poked Hong Xun.
"Then... from now on, let's reduce the amount of beef by half, and change it from once every two days to once every three days."
Xiang Yuanyuan looked at the kestrel that was about to turn into a ball and made a decision.
"Boss, someone at the front desk wants to see you. It seems to be an internet celebrity. There are quite a lot of people there, and he doesn't look easy to talk to."
The two were deciding on Hongxuan's future beef share when Du Ruo received a message from Yang Ling.
"I'm over here in the yard, please send someone over."
Du Ruo casually replied with a message and didn't take it to heart.
"Yang Ling said that there seemed to be an internet celebrity coming over, but I don't know what he's here for."
Du Ruo then told this to Xiang Yuanyuan.
"Oh, I think she should be practicing Kung Fu like Sister Zhirou."
Xiang Yuanyuan didn't care at all. In fact, Xiang Yuanyuan's account background would receive private messages almost every day from various martial arts bloggers saying that they wanted to visit Du Ruo.
However, Xiang Yuanyuan ignored them all. She thought these people were just trying to attract traffic. She also knew that Du Ruo didn’t like this kind of martial arts bloggers very much, so she never told Du Ruo about it.
It’s not surprising that someone has come to the door now.
Although the two were chatting, they couldn't be too casual. No matter whether the other person came to ask for advice on martial arts or to attract traffic, at least before the other party showed any malicious intent, Du Ruo decided to do a good job on the surface. Who knows, maybe the person who came was a fan?
So Du Ruo moved the recliner aside, sat there seriously, and even made another pot of tea and waited there.
"Hey~ Hello, Mr. Du, I'm sorry to bother you~"
At this time, a young man with a crew cut came to the yard where Du Ruo was. Even though the young man was dressed decently, the crooked way he walked, the squinting eyes, and the expression on his face when he spoke made people dislike him.
The person who came was Qiao Qili, followed by three or four people. When Qiao Qili saw Du Ruo sitting in the yard, he said sorry for disturbing him, but without waiting for Du Ruo to invite him, he pushed open the yard door and walked in. While speaking, he also looked around the environment in Du Ruo's yard.
What made people even more unhappy was that there was another person holding a camera behind this person, who started filming without asking Du Ruo whether she was willing or not.
"Is something wrong?"
Seeing this, almost any fool would know that these people had come with ill intentions, so the smile on Du Ruo's face disappeared. He picked up the freshly brewed hot tea on the table, drank it in one gulp, and then uttered two words.
"Hey, Boss Du, I came here this time to discuss a business deal with you." Qiao Qili sat opposite Du Ruo by himself. Without even asking Du Ruo, he picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea with a smile on his face. From time to time, he glanced at Xiang Yuanyuan who was sitting next to him.
"Oh? What's the deal? Tell me about it."
Du Ruo's smile completely disappeared, her face looked a little cold, and she leaned back, motioning for Qiao Qili to speak.
"Here are some photos of the Zhou Family Tomb in Yongzhou...Puff, it's so hot!!!"
Qiao Qili kept glancing at Xiang Yuanyuan and never looked at Du Ruo directly. He poured tea into his mouth while talking.
He watched Du Ruo pouring tea and drinking it, and thought it was just warm water, but he didn't expect it to be freshly boiled boiling water.
The scalding heat caused the tea in his mouth to spurt out, and coincidentally, it hit Kestrel, who was eating tuna on the coffee table.
The kestrel was startled, grabbed the tuna, flapped its wings, and flew to Du Ruo's shoulder.
When he saw the red kestrel, Qiao Qili's eyes lit up even more. He took the opportunity to interrupt and winked at the photographer next to him. The photographer, who was also an old man, immediately took a picture of Du Ruo and the red kestrel on his shoulder.
"Zhou Family Tomb? What Zhou Family Tomb?"
Although Du Ruo was unhappy in his heart, he did not intend to chase them away on the spot, mainly because he wanted to know the purpose of these people.
"Does Boss Du have such a bad memory? Did he forget the place where he last connected with "Brother Quan"? Boss Du has a really good script. Tsk tsk, this is the only thing he didn't choose well. He actually chose someone else's ancestral grave. If this gets out, Boss Du's image will be ruined."
After Qiao Qili finished speaking, he licked his upper palate with his tongue from time to time, as he felt a little burned.
"So what do you want to do?"
Du Ruo sneered in his heart and looked at Qiao Qili as if he was a clown. Even Xiang Yuanyuan beside him watched Qiao Qili's performance with a joking look.
"Hehe, we don't have any other requests. I just want to sell an antique to Boss Du."
While Qiao Qili was talking, he took something out of the pocket of a person next to him and put it on the coffee table, then continued:
"This antique is my brother's heirloom. It's worth this much. After Boss Du buys it, we will keep this matter to ourselves and won't say a word to anyone."
Qiao Qili said this and held up five fingers.
"Fifty? I'm afraid it's a bit expensive. Besides, I don't need it. You can leave now."
Du Ruo looked at the small gadget that was obviously made of inferior jade and said something, but he already knew the other party's purpose, and immediately lost his patience and started to drive him away.
"Hahahahaha, fifty? Boss Du, this is a family heirloom. If it's less than five million, Boss Du, just be prepared for everyone on the Internet to know about it."
Qiao Qili was amused by Du Ruo's words.
"Five million? Do you know how many people someone would kill for five million?"
Du Ruo narrowed her eyes. The other party really had a big appetite.
"What? Boss Du, are you trying to threaten me? I advise you to think about it carefully. After all, it's difficult to set up this persona, but it only takes a day to collapse."
Qiao Qili laughed. In fact, he often did this and was very familiar with it. Those people threatened him in various ways, but what was the result? Didn't he still make money? He believed that although five million was a lot, it was definitely nothing compared to the future of these Internet celebrities.
"Woc~ How dare you come here to blackmail? You must have come to the wrong place."
Before Du Ruo could speak, a loud shout was heard from outside the yard, and Yang Chenguang was seen standing outside the yard, with Yang Ling following him.
Just after Qiao Qili left, Yang Ling felt that this person was a little serious. Then she searched and found out that he was a fake-busting anchor.
Yang Ling knew that Xiang Yuanyuan and Du Ruo were quite famous on the Internet, so she was afraid that Qiao Qili was here to cause trouble, so she immediately went to inform Yang Chenguang.
"What blackmail? Don't talk nonsense. We are here to sell treasures..."
Qiao Qili stood up and shouted loudly.
"Who the hell cares what you're doing here, folks? This guy is not a good guy at first glance. He dares to ask for five million for a piece of broken stone. Get him out."
Yang Chenguang didn't care about him. He had met all kinds of people and knew what was going on at a glance. He didn't give Qiao Qili a chance to speak. He shouted, then rolled up his sleeves and was about to drive him away.
At this time, some people came out of their homes. These people were called over by Yang Chenguang. There is a WeChat group in the village. As long as he shouted, these people would know that Yang Chenguang had just sent a message.
"Hey, what are you doing!!! I want to meet the leader of your village!!! I'm an internet celebrity!! I want to expose you!!!"
Qiao Qili was a little panicked at this time. In fact, he was happy in his heart, but he did not dare to be careless, for he was afraid that some villagers did not know the seriousness of the situation and would hit him with a club or even a hoe, which would not be fun.
"I'm the leader, delete the video and get out of our village."
Yang Chenguang didn't stand for it either. He walked into the yard, snatched the camera from the photographer's hand, took out the memory card, and then pushed these people out with a few villagers.
Du Ruo shook his head and smiled when he saw this. He had originally wanted to teach these people a lesson himself, but he didn't expect that it was not necessary now.
"Xiao Du, don't worry. With us here, this guy won't dare to cause trouble again."
The villagers did not disperse until the people from Qiao Qili's team left, and they did not forget to shout loudly to Du Ruo before leaving.
