【Haha, I got it! I got it! This is great! I can finally see Brother Xiao!】
【No, not even a second later, who actually managed to grab it?】
【I got one, and my friend got one too! This was really unexpected. It seems like as long as your follower level is high enough and you pass the threshold, the chances of getting one are extremely high.】
【It seems that many scalpers failed to get their hands on the items.】
【Xiao He's website is amazing! It's ruined so many people's scripts. I'm a little curious if it's true or not. Can any scalpers share their experiences?】
【Xiao He, I *&%￥#——】
【Tsk tsk, someone's actually based on a popular online figure here. Scalpers deserve it, pshaw!】
【Many scalpers in my WeChat Moments are complaining, saying that Brother Xiao's website is very powerful, and their scripts can't be used.】
【Haha, my fun today came from seeing the scalpers on WeChat Moments. It cracked me up! They used to be so arrogant, daring to ask for exorbitant ticket prices. Now, finally someone's teaching them a lesson. I'm so happy!】
【Thanks, Brother Xiao! I finally managed to snag a ticket this time, no need to deal with that lousy scalper anymore.】
【How did Brother Xiao manage to create this website? Can it be used for my concert tickets in the future? I always lose to scalpers when trying to buy tickets. Concert tickets that originally cost a couple hundred yuan are inflated to five or six hundred yuan by them. It's really upsetting to spend money on them every time, but I endure it all for the sake of seeing my idol.】
【I'm desperately seeking Xiao Ge's website plugin! How exactly did it intercept the tickets? I checked, and so far, not a single scalper has managed to get a ticket; almost all the tickets have been successfully distributed to genuine fans.】
【I'm asking for this too! I urge all apps to take note! Last time, during my concert, the police even busted a scalper gang that had made tens of millions in profits. If there were a plugin to block this, this kind of problem would definitely not happen again!】
People on the internet experience both joy and sorrow.
The fans who managed to snag tickets were naturally delighted, while the scalpers were devastated.
No one expected that Xiao He would turn a small birthday party into such a spectacle.
Those in the industry exchanged glances and were all somewhat alarmed.
How did they manage to do that? That blocking plugin is so powerful! If it gets widely used, wouldn't that cut off their source of income?
That won't do!
In an instant, a host of conspiracy theories emerged.
Is this website legitimate? It doesn't seem to be registered, and it doesn't appear to have a certificate.
【Xiao He's website is illegal; be careful as your personal information may be stolen.】
【The website for Xiao He's birthday party is an unregistered, unlicensed platform. Some fans shouldn't be foolish enough to send gifts there; their personal information will be leaked, and they'll regret it.】
【Furthermore, Xiao He's website requires fan identity verification, which is highly suspicious. Without proper registration, wouldn't that constitute an invasion of privacy?】
【No wonder it's free, it turns out they're selling followers.】
【A bunch of eager韭菜 (a metaphor for easily exploited investors), it's hilarious.】
【Wow, it's so sour! Where did that taste come from?】
【There are bound to be a bunch of sour grapes on the internet too.】
【Some people, stop pretending. We know you haven't made any money and are just raging impotently, but don't be so sour yet. The internet remembers.】
【Hehe, the scalpers are getting anxious, the scalpers are getting anxious.】
【What? You're still talking to me about privacy on the internet these days? Didn't I give out all my privacy permissions when I logged into the app? If I didn't grant some permissions, they wouldn't let me in. If we're talking about privacy leaks, I've been leaked eight hundred times over. Whatever, at least you didn't make any money, while I got a free ticket, hehe.】
【Line up now! Let's do it together! Hehe.】
【whee.】
【Although I didn't manage to get a ticket, I'm still going, hehe.】
...
Linghui Entertainment Office.
Looking at the ever-changing situation on the internet, Xiao He sighed with lingering fear.
"Fortunately, it was only this once, and it shouldn't cause too much of a stir later."
Xiao He looked at Liu Rulan beside him and exclaimed, "Sister Liu is so thoughtful, otherwise I was really planning to go directly to the platform for cooperation."
Liu Rulan shook her head helplessly: "It's not that I've considered everything, but that's just human nature. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. If you really provide this technology to other platforms, it will most likely be a thankless task."
Back when he was preparing for his birthday party, Xiao He had stayed up several nights in a row to develop an anti-scalper interception system, which he planned to use when distributing tickets for his birthday party. However, this time Xiao He did not do it in secret, but went public and used his status as a computer science graduate from Shanghai University to apply for patents from several professors he had previously collaborated with, so as to facilitate future commercial use and dissemination.
However, after Liu Rulan learned about this, she did not agree with Xiao He directly using this technology to seek cooperation with ticketing platforms.
While scalpers have made money over the years, those people have also made a lot.
Online ticket scalping is one method, while reserving tickets offline is another.
The industry is too large and the business is too prosperous. If Xiao He dares to suddenly appear out of nowhere and put everyone on the spot, he will offend a lot of people and there is a high probability that he will suffer a backlash.
To take the simplest example, since the existence of online scalpers has been completely eliminated, the scalpers who keep tickets for themselves and sell them will be very conspicuous. If they are found out, whose fault will it be?
That can only mean that the technology provided by Xiao He is inadequate; it can't be anyone else's problem.
In the end, after all the trouble, Xiao He ended up with a bunch of enemies for nothing.
Therefore, Liu Rulan's advice is that Xiao He should just set up a temporary platform to use this plugin, and definitely shouldn't go and give away free kills, or he'll just get scolded for nothing.
Now that things have come to this, Xiao He has no choice but to admit that Liu Rulan was right.
This time, he didn't let those people gain any advantage or make any money. As a result, the rumors and slander about him on the internet have doubled. If they were to be made public on various platforms, Xiao He would really be devoured alive by those people.
While still feeling lingering fear, Xiao He also felt a pang of regret: "I originally planned to provide the technology patents and squeeze some money out of everyone, but I never expected this..."
“You can contact them privately, but let’s skip this one,” Liu Rulan said. “Once things calm down, you can set up an independent platform to provide this kind of plugin service. Whether those people use it or not is none of our business.”
However, overall, there are probably not many people who would be willing to use it, since not everyone is like Xiao He, who doesn't care about making money from it.
But these are things they can't control; they are all their own choices.
Xiao He thought for a moment and nodded: "That works too."
He doesn't meddle in everything or insist on changing the status quo.
So even amidst the heated online discussions, Xiao He didn't step forward to offer a clear explanation for the ticket-buying situation, nor did he proactively release a self-made blocking plugin. However, some observant individuals investigated and discovered that both the website and the plugin were created by Xiao He himself, supposedly as a way to give back to his fans and do what he could for them.
Only then did they realize that Xiao He himself was a computer science graduate from Shanghai University.
Xiao He has been in the industry for so many years, but he has never marketed his academic achievements during his university years. So everyone basically assumes that he was just an average student in terms of both grades and abilities during his university years.
No one expected that Xiao He ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) had this ability.
Only longtime fans who knew the situation screamed on the relevant social media platforms.
【You simply don't understand how outstanding Xiao He is!!!】
【That's a man with several invention patents and dozens of software copyrights!】
【How do you think he made his money to start the company?!】
【Being a programmer is just a side job (×) Programmers make money from their main job (√)】
