Chapter 313: Chapter 123: Our Family is A Tycoon from Now onIn the quiet little room, Qiao Yu squinted at the messages popping up in WeChat. Sure enough, everyone was already going crazy. Even the 13th-grade class chat group, which seemed to have been in a state of suspended animation after only being active for a few days post-graduation, had its message count blasted past 99+. Qiao Yu couldn’t resist clicking to take a look. Wow, as expected, chat records in this group can’t exceed 99 messages; if they do, it’s highly likely an argument will break out. It’s already escalated into an argument and even a fight is being arranged. Qiao Yu scrolled up to see that the quarrel had actually started because of him... The two big shots in the class were arguing over who took him out to play online games more often... At first, they were calm and wanted to @ him to settle it, but when he didn’t appear, both sides got angrier, and it’s already turned into a flame war. I’m guessing they’re about to arrange to meet up and settle the score. Although the hot-headed guys from class 13 have graduated, they are still energetic and full of vigor, you have to admit. After glancing a few more times, Qiao Yu stopped looking at the class group. No way, anything he says now will just add fuel to the fire. Plus, the two big shots planning the fight, one is in Dongshan Province and the other in a vocational school in Star City, they’re thousands of kilometers apart, it probably won’t happen until the summer vacation. Even if these guys have slow reflexes, they should have calmed down in a few months... Qiao Yu has a wealth of experience dealing with hot-headed guys. If he keeps silent, it’s just a matter of pride between them, just some bickering. If he were to speak, he might accidentally hurt one of their egos, and it might turn into a long-distance clash... But by now, Qiao Yu roughly figured out why WeChat was so lively. The two big shots appeared together, and he happened to be in the center, so these people on WeChat were either envious or investigating for news, or trying to get familiar with him. Director Zhang, Principal He, and Teacher Lan all sent messages of encouragement to him. How amazing, just an afternoon’s time, and these rumors already reached Star City? Qiao Yu could understand these big shots getting the news, but for the 13th-grade classmates to see the news about his lecture, that’s truly strange. For the encouragement from the three teachers, Qiao Yu replied one by one. Maintaining humility might have significant rewards at some point. Next came a pile of private messages. Although he doesn’t have many friends, there are always a few odd ones. The only surprise was that there was no activity in the friend group he created... Probably because the friends in that group are all very diligent, and have no time for gossip? Qiao Yu felt comforted. Just as he thought this, he suddenly noticed Yu Yongjun sent him several messages privately, along with some screenshots. One was a long screenshot of an answer on the Know-It-All platform, talking about his achievements after arriving in Yanbei, then there was a screenshot of a new group with three people. After browsing briefly, Qiao Yu felt that Senior Brother Chen spoke really well, while Gong Jiatao was indeed too sly. It’s clear who’s a friend. For example, Gong Jiatao and Yu Wei didn’t even bother to speak up in the friend group to add some emotional value for him. Unlike Senior Brother Chen, who directly used a major account on the Know-It-All platform to support him. Such precise judgment just because of one thing, there’s only one room for an office on this floor. Tsk, tsk, still a new knowledge responder for 2023, very strong! But Qiao Yu just looked at it and didn’t reply to Yu Yongjun. Because it was still early, if he replied now, he would surely be bombarded with messages from this guy, and he wouldn’t be able to do anything else. When the IMO starts and they meet, it’ll be better to teach these little buddies a lesson. Lastly, Qiao Yu saw Xu Shu’s humble message from the corner, and then he remembered he still had a verified Weibo account... In fact, when he coordinated with Xu Shu to apply for this verified Weibo, Qiao Yu also considered it. In the era where traffic is king, having a window for wide dissemination might not be useful for math research, as it’s hard to popularize math. But for making money, it is still useful. If he just wants to be a great mathematician, running a Weibo account doesn’t really matter. But if he wants to earn a lot of money in the future, a platform like Weibo is quite useful. People believe in authority, but at the same time, they disdain authority. All these have two premises, the first is whether the authority is genuinely authoritative, or in other words, is recognized by the majority and has impressive achievements. For example, a Nobel Prize winner, even if they publicly talk nonsense, they have followers defending their words. The second premise is which side the so-called authority speaks from, and whether the audience likes to hear it. If an unknown expert speaks well and can make most people like them, even if their achievements are slightly lacking, they can still have many loyal followers. Those success lecturers are the best examples, as long as they can precisely identify their fan base and successfully brainwash them, they can randomly attribute many honors to themselves, and the fans will wholeheartedly believe. Qiao Yu can even explain this clearly with a simple mathematical formula: I=γ⋅S/R. I stands for the expert’s influence, γ is the expert’s ability to express, and R is the audience’s cognitive level. The lower the audience’s cognitive level, the better the lecturer’s ability to express, the greater the influence, and the more thorough the brainwashing. Compared with the professionally curated platforms like Know-It-All and Bilibili, undoubtedly, on a mass platform like Weibo, R is definitely lower.
