Chapter 116: Pushing the Boat Down the River to Advertise
"Didn't you kid say retreat study? Why did you secretly brush up the scarf? ”
"I didn't secretly brush it, just take a look at it, hahahaha." Don Juan did not secretly brush the scarf, he did it openly.
This news is related to the International Computer Vision Conference I attended a few weeks ago, and the content is very outrageous, of course, I have to share it with Meng Fanqi, the protagonist.
In particular, the description of the text is different, which is particularly interesting.
Meng Fanqi clicked on it and took a look, huh! Instantly, the old face turned red.
The last time I attended the International Conference on Computer Vision, many people were very interested in several papers and work published by Meng Fanqi.
Therefore, it was surrounded by a group, and at this stage, some media personnel were allowed to come in and shoot in front of the stage.
There are a few photos that work pretty well.
The young Chinese scholars in the center of the picture form a strong contrast with many elderly foreign scholars in the surrounding area.
In addition, Meng Fanqi himself can barely be called handsome, and on such an academic occasion, there must still be a lot of points for appearance.
Meng Fanqi also conducted several rounds of high-intensity self-search a few days after the meeting, but was disappointed to find that the report was far from being as enthusiastic and popular as the venue.
With so many shots clicking on him, Meng Fanqi thought that he had really become a big star.
In fact, only a few media outlets have published some reports, and they are not particularly well placed.
Although the picture is good, the text description is quite short, and the popularity is not very high.
After reading it, Meng Fanqi felt that if a technology like artificial intelligence wants to break the circle, it still needs to defeat a revolutionary event like Lee Sedol or ChatGPT before it can really come to the stage.
Otherwise, it's just a matter of being in the circle or in the industry.
To a large extent, this incident directly led to Meng Fanqi's idea to switch from academia to entrepreneurship.
There are many open-source technologies at the International Computer Vision Conference, and the quality is generally not low, but these ordinary people will not care.
Even Baidu's Wenxin Yiyan, everyone can associate it with Li Yanhong.
But who will remember the real authors and algorithm proposers of the T method and GPT?
Meng Fanqi therefore changed his mind, and in addition to breaking through the algorithm, he also wanted to start a business and make products as soon as possible, and strive to quickly push the series of products to the public.
He simply forgot that there is another way to quickly gain popularity and traffic, and that is pure rumors!
If you want to talk about rumors and stir up popularity, you have to look at the media.
I don't know who picked up these pictures on the scarf, although the photos were taken well, a group of white-haired old men set off Meng Fanqi in the middle and seemed to be extraordinarily young and promising, but the content of the scarf has nothing to do with the fact that P....
"Recently, at a mathematics exchange conference in the United States, young scholars in China made a splash, attracting a number of foreign scholars to praise again and again, vying to ask for advice."
"When the youth is strong, the country is strong! The mathematical problems that the Western academic community has not been able to solve for decades have been solved by him! ”
"Shocked! Chinese teenager beats many math professors in the United States! ”
"Why don't you get me a math professor from there???" Meng Fanqi's eyes darkened after reading it, and he almost fainted.
It's completely a classic self-media flavor, with a picture at the beginning, and all the back depends on the editor.
According to their way of writing, it seems that they are eager to directly award a Nobel Prize in mathematics that does not exist in Jin Dong's mouth to themselves.
Meng Fanqi took a closer look at the photos, and found that the whiteboard behind him and the slides on the screen were all formulas that looked like mathematics to some laymen.
These push messages seem to be praised, but they are actually very bad for passers-by.
There are already such voices under many scarves.
"The academic world is also going to engage in the fan circle? Can you get the copywriting field right first? ”
"There are three palace-level computer direction experts in this picture, and you tell me that it is a mathematical problem?"
"I haven't seen you for a few weeks, why did Meng run away to do math? How did I not know? @胖球"This is Li Yanhong who came to join in the fun.
After Meng Fanqi gave him an update a week ago, the government's requirements for road inspections were exceeded.
Soon we talked about a few regional pilots, and now it's a good time.
When I was free to go online, I saw such interesting content, and Li Yanhong didn't explain, but @Meng Fanqi's scarf account continued to arch the fire.
However, although Li Yanhong did not give an explanation, the crowd of onlookers quickly smelled that something was wrong.
At this time, it was not long before the last press conference, and someone immediately posted the same frame pictures of Meng Fanqi and Li Yanhong at the press conference at that time.
The onlookers who ate melons looked at it, and said, "Oh, isn't this the one who is surrounded by many white-haired old professors in the middle?"
"What's going on? Can the self-media spread rumors crookedly? ”
"If you want to replace the field of mathematics with artificial intelligence, these things that are made up by looking at pictures.... Don't say it, it seems to be quite true. ”
"In fact, the most terrifying thing in the world is that what the media completely makes up happens to be very different from the facts."
"Hahaha, Xueba's neck name is quite cute, fat ball."
What Meng Fanqi didn't know was that the popularity of self-media this time was actually far from being as hot as it is now.
After the publicity and distribution department of Baidu noticed these fake news, it actually added a lot of fuel to the fire.
Stir up this completely unobtrusive thing first, and then cut in to uncover the truth.
First, I have the buff to refute rumors, and secondly, the people who eat melons are curious to explore this person's experience, and they will naturally pay attention to Baidu's press conference and two projects that have successfully cooperated with the government.
The most clever advertising is not to push, but to induce the curiosity of the audience and let them explore on their own.
This is how you remember it best.
But what they never expected was that this wave of covert publicity and hype was finally picked by Meng Fanqi, a person who was kept in the dark.
Meng Fanqi didn't think about anything, he just simply felt that for some reason, the scarf paid so much attention to me today.
In that case, I might as well advertise a job, right?
"My artificial intelligence startup company was established today, and I am urgently recruiting several iOS and Android App development engineers, and there is also a demand for front-end and back-end accounting manpower, please see the attached picture for details."
Meng Fanqi pushed the boat down the river, and directly put the general situation of the needs and treatment he had drawn up earlier on his neck.
This saves a lot of advertising costs, and it is difficult for such a small start-up company to recruit people, so it is really necessary to go through the conventional way, and the fees for various apps and headhunters are not small.
After Li Yanhong saw it, his heart tightened.
He had long known that the cooperative relationship might not last long, but seeing Meng Fanqi's fear of trouble, he always thought that there would be a year or two left.
I didn't expect to use my momentum to advertise.
This made him cry and laugh a little.
Suddenly, I remembered that Wang Kai seemed to have applied for resignation, and he was handling the handover a year ago, and this month has begun.
"This kid can't be moved by Wang Kai, right?"
Li Yanhong guessed like this for no reason, and he really accidentally guessed the facts.
