At the strong request of the majority of netizens, Liu Yun opened a column for the South African World Cup on his personal Weibo.

After all, in the past few years, under the leadership of Liu Yun, almost every investment of Yoyo Group has achieved excess returns.

Not only him, but many celebrities and public figures will choose to gain popularity during the World Cup. This is already a tacit unspoken rule.

On June 11, 2010, the World Cup in South Africa officially opened.

On the first day of the competition, more than 1,000 active users watched the World Cup football match through Youku video.

At the same time, Weibo activity has also increased by 20% compared to normal times.

At this moment, it is a hot summer day, and South Africa, which is located in the southern hemisphere, is in winter.

Liu Yun took advantage of the wave of the World Cup during this time to give himself a small vacation, nesting in his office all day long, blowing the air conditioner, and sometimes surfing the Internet.

As a pseudo-fan, he would post a Weibo on time at 9 o'clock every day to analyze the teams on the day of the game, their strength and competitive state.

He didn't really have much professionalism, and he didn't do any homework, he completely relied on his own impression flow, plus Hu Kan's talent, and put together some words.

Sometimes, many presenters are not as professional as some fans. One is just a daily clock-in and clock-out, while the other is a real passion.

So in the end, there will always be many fans who complain to the TV station or video website: The host you hired is too unprofessional.

Liu Yun has not seen how foreign hosts explain the game, but many event hosts in China, especially CCTV, not only have a worrying professionalism, but even like to talk about topics unrelated to the game in the process of hosting the court.

For example, Liu Jianhong, who was complained about by countless people, when commenting on the World Cup, he would talk about the national football team after saying a few words, and then there was a lot of thunderbolt rhetoric.

He was happy to say it, and he said it well, but the countless viewers watching the game in front of the TV were going crazy. Didn't we listen to you talk about the national football team?

Four years ago, since the commentator who shouted "long live" in anger at the crown left CCTV, the quality of their host has deteriorated.

At the same time, the live webcast of sports events has entered the channel of rapid development.

Liu Yun is very sure that through various layout means, it is entirely possible for Youku to steal the limelight from CCTV during this World Cup football match.

Although it is said that cyber spinach is illegal, it is possible to play some edge balls.

For example, this time, Youku organized some prize quizzes.

Set up the winner and the champion guess, Youku will randomly select a few lucky viewers from the audience who guessed correctly, and the prize is a YOYO series smartphone and YO coins for game recharge.

Yoyo's official Weibo also deliberately emphasized that unlike the online lottery on Taobao, our way of guessing, netizens do not need to spend a penny, and they may receive rich prizes.

......

After about a week, a rumor about Yoyo Liu was circulating on the Internet: the brightest light in the night sky.

During this period of time, Liu Yun has been staying in his office, and from time to time he publishes a Weibo to predict the results of the competition, which is called strengthening the interaction with netizens.

In fact, he is not the only one who has a bright light, and several retired national football players have also made predictions about the World Cup on the Internet.

It's just that their ability to guess the game is as stinky as their footwork, so together with Liu Yun, they were listed as a beacon by netizens.

However, as the founder of Yoyo and the top-ranked young rich man, Liu Yun has his own popularity and traffic.

Under his shining light, the rest of the people were eclipsed.

For example, Liu Yun is optimistic about the host South Africa, and as a result, South Africa became the first host in history to be eliminated in the group stage, which can be regarded as creating history.

Liu Yun is also optimistic about the star-studded France, saying that they are the favorites to win the championship. As a result, these French people immediately made a big joke in front of the whole world.

There was infighting, irreconcilable conflict between the players and the coach, and then these French players took out a document in front of global media reporters, announcing that they were ready to strike and fight the manager to the end.

Such a ridiculous scene made netizens sigh that this may be a mysterious oriental force at work.

Many netizens speculated that Liu Yun's poisonous milk skills were almost running out, but it turned out that they were all wrong.

The champion of the last World Cup, the four-star Italy, actually accumulated two points in three games, finished at the bottom of the group, and went home directly.

In the knockout round, Liu Yun was optimistic, Portugal with Ronaldo, and Argentina with Messi also went home early.

Especially the favorite to win the championship, Argentina coached by the football king Maradona, was cleanly slaughtered 4-0 by Germany, even if there was no room for even the slightest resistance.

Then there were the biggest favourites, five-star Brazil, who had a one-goal lead, were beaten by the Netherlands in the second half with two goals in a row to stop the quarter-finals.

Spain, once known as the king of the qualifiers, won the Hercules Cup for the first time with a 1-0 defeat in the first game.

It is not only Spain that has become popular on Weibo, but also a Weibo by Liu Yun more than 20 days ago.

At that time, the Spanish team lost 0-1 to Switzerland in the opening game, causing a shocking upset.

He wrote on his World Cup column Weibo: According to the past practice, it is normal for Spain, the king of qualifiers, to lose in the group stage, what kind of upset? I think it is difficult for them to qualify from the group. Winning the championship?

Indeed, in the history of the World Cup, no champion team has lost in the first game of the group stage, and Spain has set an unprecedented record.

Before the night of the finals, Liu Yun deliberately posted another Weibo, writing: I'm not anyone's fan, but this time I really don't believe in evil. I am optimistic that the Netherlands will win the championship in this final, and if I lose again this time, I will randomly select 10,000 people from the netizens who reposted this Weibo, and each of them will give away a YOYO mobile phone.

Later, he added: the deadline is before the start of the finals.

In less than 12 hours, a new Weibo retweet record was born.

And after the curtain fell and Spain won the championship, Liu Yun's poisonous milk ability also reached a peak.

Such a dazzling light has been unique since the birth of the spinach industry.

Netizens are carnival, Liu Yun, Youku, and Weibo's popularity is also rising.

But at this moment, there is also someone who has a headache, that is, Wu Qiang, the head of the mobile phone company.

The boss loses the bet, but it is the company that pays the bill. He can't let his boss break his promise, so he has to immediately prepare 10,000 YOYO Sky X1 mobile phones to fulfill Liu Yun's promise.

Bell bell ~

Wu Qiang looked at the call, and answered the phone with a bitter face: "Mr. Liu, I am convinced of your ability to guess the ball game!"

You're making fun of me!

Liu Yun pretended to be helpless and replied: "The matter of 10,000 mobile phones will trouble Manager Wu to prepare." ”

Wu Qiang sighed lightly: "Okay, after all...... Willing to gamble and lose. ”

All he could do was to clean up the aftermath for the boss.

"By the way, Mr. Liu, let me tell you something. ”

"What's the matter?"

"During the World Cup, many colleagues in the company bought lottery on the Internet, and they made a small profit. ”

Liu Yun said with some surprise: "It's so powerful, how can I guess it's a mistake?"

Wu Qiang smiled: "This is thanks to Mr. Liu." During the group stage, the employees followed Mr. Liu's prediction to buy and lost some money, but after the knockout round, after they summed up the lessons learned, they followed Mr. Liu's prediction to buy, and not only did the lost money come back, but also made a small profit.

Today, there is still a saying about Mr. Liu in the company. ”

"What?"

"Anti-buy Mr. Liu, the villa is by the sea!"

Liu Yun: "......"
