Chapter 141 Lust is the primary driving force
The online environment in 2010 was extremely chaotic and unregulated, and Weibo was a breeding ground for "welfare girls," especially after midnight when it became a scene of utter chaos.
Hakifu is one of the many "female bodhisattvas".
Unlike other "welfare girls" who have their own livelihoods, she only provides freebies and seeks attention online without any profit.
Because of her simple and unpretentious goal, she has continuously improved her skills in taking and editing photos, and has gained a lot of attention on Weibo.
Back in 2010, before Weibo was full of spam, she had 2 followers, becoming a veritable internet celebrity.
Just today, a fan contacted her via private message, asking if she would be willing to take on a commercial order: she would offer 500 yuan as a reward for helping to introduce the user experience of a product.
At first, Hakiford didn't believe it and even thought it would be some strange product.
However, she did not expect that the fan would actually transfer the money, and the money was not transferred through a bank card or Alipay, but directly sent the phone recharge card number.
In the online payment environment of 2010, there was a card called "All-in-One Charger" in mobile phone service halls. This card could be used to pay for phone bills and also to top up Alipay accounts. This card did not disappear until after 2016.
Hakifu entered the card number into Alipay, and the card number was correct and valid. Sure enough, 500 yuan appeared in his Alipay account. Afterwards, the fan sent him a picture of the product, and Hakifu's eyes lit up when he saw it.
This product is a legitimate item, yet it's also incredibly sexy. If she posted pictures like this, her follower count would definitely surge even further.
Thus, Hakifor accepted her first business deal.
Some time later, the product arrived, and Hakifu put on the QQ underwear. Hakifu sat down with his back to the full-length mirror in a duck-like posture, then turned halfway around.
"Click," the photo was taken again.
She edited the photo and posted it on Weibo.
Zhao Mi is a loyal fan of Hakifu, and he has been following Hakifu ever since Hakifu posted his first fan service picture on Weibo.
Just today, as usual, he was browsing Weibo's "welfare zone" when he saw Hakifo's newly posted pictures on his timeline.
The moment Zhao Mi saw the picture, his eyes lit up, his face turned bright red, and he almost had a nosebleed. He looked at the picture from left to right, from top to bottom, and even zoomed in to examine it closely.
It was only then that he noticed the text information in addition to the pictures on the Weibo post. It turned out to be a product promotion post. Hakifu said that the product could be bought on Pinduoduo.
Zhao Mi sighed, "This merchant is quite a genius; he actually thought of hiring 'welfare girls' to have sex with them."
He clicked into the comments section to see if there were any complaints, but instead found that everyone was saying there were good things to see in the comments section of this Pinduoduo product.
Zhao Mi didn't mind the trouble, so she quickly downloaded the Pinduoduo app, searched for the product using keywords, and found it.
The page showed that this bra had sold 5000 pieces, but who cared about that at the moment? Zhao Mi quickly clicked into the comments section.
The comments section even featured user experiences and some actual photos. Of course, these images were only borderline and considered within the acceptable limits in today's internet environment, but the way they were taken was particularly provocative.
For some reason, every user on the site has an exceptionally good figure, and the photos are incredibly arousing.
Zhao Mi was consumed by lust and couldn't resist any longer: Buy it! I have to buy it! He wanted his girlfriend to wear it too.
Moreover, this QQ underwear is not expensive, only 10 yuan, and shipping is free.
After clicking to buy, Zhao Mi felt a sense of emptiness and even considered canceling the purchase, as she no longer really wanted it.
But it wasn't a lot of money, and returning the goods would be a hassle, so he didn't bother with it anymore.
Three days later, a package was delivered to Zhao Mi.
Looking at the blush-inducing items inside, Zhao Mi suddenly remembered that he had bought this thing three days ago. Just three days later, he regained his virility, so with a mischievous grin, he coaxed and begged his girlfriend to wear it.
After a while, Zhao Mi calmed down and couldn't help but ponder the meaning of life: Was it worth spending so much energy and money just for this moment of pleasure?
Suddenly, he remembered a small card that came with the package, which read: "Get a one-yuan cashback for a positive review, and have a chance to get a 50-yuan cashback for a 200-word review with pictures."
He has to take this money to make up for some of his losses.
Zhao Mi, of course, did not share his girlfriend's photos. He simply wrote a random account of his heroic deeds, made up 200 words, and uploaded it.
Just as he was about to quit Pinduoduo and uninstall this "evil" software, his hand slipped and he clicked on the homepage.
Then he saw a waterfall of incredibly cheap products, including QQ lingerie's new bunny girl style—they actually have this style! His fingers started itching to grab them.
Looking at the data for QQ's underwear industry, Lin Mu patted Wang Zaixing on the shoulder and said, "Well done."
Finding "welfare girls" on Weibo for promotion—this ingenious idea wasn't actually Lin Mu's. His thinking was constrained by the strict internet censorship of later generations, unlike Wang Zaixing, whose mind hadn't experienced such strict censorship.

At this moment, 10 pieces of pearl-embroidered underwear have been sold on Pinduoduo, generating 100 million yuan in revenue.
Furthermore, many merchants saw Pinduoduo's potential and, lured by the promise of attracting new customers, flocked to Pinduoduo, bringing hundreds of SKUs and contributing four to five hundred thousand yuan in revenue.
Most importantly, thanks to this wave of traffic generated by skirting the rules, Pinduoduo saw a significant increase in registrations in July, roughly estimated at over 7 new registrations.
By August, Pinduoduo had 135 million registered users, 230,000 monthly active users, and a monthly turnover of 24 million yuan.
Wang Zaixing felt somewhat embarrassed, as he didn't really want such exaggerated results.
He offered a serious suggestion: "Dayan, how about we open a self-operated store? We have traffic, and you have ideas for creating best-selling products. The QQ underwear industry has a very high profit margin, so why don't we open a few self-operated stores to make up for the losses?"
Lin Mu shook his head and said, "Your idea is pretty bad. Pinduoduo will absolutely not operate its own stores, at least not now."
"Don't be fooled by how profitable this seems. Once you start operating your own stores, the warehousing costs, labor costs, and logistics management will be a complete mess, which will seriously hinder Pinduoduo's progress."
Lin Mu continued, "We should now press on and create a second blockbuster product."
Lin Mu took out the completed illustration. Wang Zaixing glanced at it and immediately blushed, asking, "What is this?"
Lin Mu explained, "How about this traditional Chinese style QQ underwear? Isn't it even more alluring than not wearing anything at all?"
Wang Zaixing nodded repeatedly: Who could resist that!
Lin Mu said, "Your previous idea was very good. We can invite those 'welfare girls' to post some pictures in the comments section to create the feeling that these are real users. Also, we can manipulate the keywords on Baidu to ride the wave of traffic."
Wang Zaixing completely opened Lin Mu's mind, and he talked about a lot of techniques for gaining traffic and skirting the edge of legality.
These techniques are no longer usable in later generations due to severe crackdowns, but in 2010 they were still unrestricted and could be used without any restrictions.
