Alipay million-dollar winner, after a year of "squandering", the pain is more than the happiness
The famous Austrian writer Zweig once said that all the gifts of fate are secretly fixed. This adage applies as much to luck as it does to extraordinary talent.
On the National Day of 2018, in a large-scale ** event organized by Alipay, a netizen named Xin Xiaodu obtained 100 million yuan worth of luck by virtue of the luck accumulated in his life"Free order package worldwide"More than 3 million participants on the network were thrilled.
As the name suggests,"Free gift package worldwide"It is a kind of voucher that allows the winner not only to travel around the world for free, but also to get free high-imitation luxury goods that he sees during his travels.
Netizens envied Xiao Xin's European-style appearance and even called him"Chinese koi", saying that his message brings good luck. to the country.
As a strip"Koi"After learning that he had won the lottery, Xin Xiaodu was so excited that he didn't close his eyes for two days.
Considering that there is a time limit for the use of the prize, that is, it must be used up within one year after receiving the prize, Xin Xiaodu did not hesitate to quit his job in a state-owned enterprise on November 17, 2018, and started his free world journey with a travel bag on his back.
When you ask how long it takes to spend 100 million in this world, Shugou will tell you that it only takes one night, Wang Duoyu only needs ten days, and Xin Xiaodu only needs a year.
In this magical year, not only do I not like to spend money, but I am also very poor.
Everyman. In becoming the much-anticipated"Chinese koi"Before, Xin Xiaodu also had his own little luck, just like all ordinary people who worked hard to survive.
After 1990, Xin Xiaodu grew up in Tianjin as an ordinary person. When he was in school, Xin Xiaoduo was an honest child, with good grades and not bad eyes, and he played a very inconspicuous role in the class.
After waiting for a year to graduate from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Xiaoduo's luck was not bad, and he was suddenly admitted to a ** institution and became an ordinary IT engineer.
He works 996, has nothing to do on weekends, buys groceries with friends, pays his monthly salary, and a year or two after graduation, his savings are 200,000 yuan.
Therefore, although the first half of Xin Xiaodu's life is not rich and expensive, it can be regarded as safe and secure, and the future is promising.
However, maybe Xin Xiaodu has lived comfortably for too long and doesn't want to live it, in real life, she has always dreamed of getting rich overnight.
If ordinary people want to get rich, there are only three ways: meet nobles, seize hot spots, and win the lottery.
Although the first two ways are still a little difficult for Xin Xiaodu, for ordinary people like Xin Xiaodu, this lowest-cost lottery is the most likely.
As the saying goes: a small gamble is pleasant, but a big gamble hurts the body. In a way, the lottery is also a legal form of gambling. Because it is gambling, it is easy to waste money and become addicted.
As a salaryman, Xin Xiaodu naturally has no capital and energy to spend on this, so from the beginning of his business, Xin Xiaodu has paid more attention to zero-cost lottery tickets, rather than buying a $2 lottery ticket every week.
As the National Day of 2018 approached, Jack Ma and his team organized an unprecedented event on social media to promote Alipay.
According to the content of the event, anyone who is on the Weibo platform will have the opportunity to win physical prizes, including skin care products and perfumes.
Plus, there are flights, cruises, hotels, free round-the-world trips, and many more prizes to win. According to Alipay's official data, the total value of this super prize is directly as high as 100 million yuan!
You must know that in today's society, it is impossible for ordinary people to earn 100 million yuan by labor.
There is no doubt that this activity of Alipay immediately sparked a heated discussion among netizens across the country, and as of the eve of **, more than 3 million netizens have participated in the event and submitted their own ** information.
Although we all know that among these 3 million people, it is difficult to become a molecule even if they spend their entire lives, but after all, there are no absolutes in the world, not to mention that the price is just a finger and a little bit.
Xin Xiaodu, as an avid lottery enthusiast, naturally participated in this national carnival. Of course, before winning the lottery, she never thought that she would really be lucky enough to win.
But when luck really befell him, Xin Xiaodu was stunned.
She was afraid that she had been deceived, so she repeatedly confirmed with the official staff whether she was really the lucky one. After waiting for an affirmative answer, the koi girl sent out the coveted emotion of countless social animals on the Internet: Don't I have to work all my life?
Chinese koiIn the eyes of ordinary people, if someone can have a fortune of 100 million US dollars, not to mention that the next generation can live a normal life now.
The absurd thing is that the $100 million that Alipay sent this time was not a silver for nothing, but a bunch of travel vouchers. Moreover, these travel vouchers must be redeemed by the winner himself within a certain period of time.
Although Alipay is obviously promoting its brand in some way this time, netizens show infinite envy and jealousy that Xin Xiaodu witnessed this kind of marketing.
In memory of this immodest one"Wang Duoyu", enthusiastic netizens also gave him an apt nickname--"The Chinese version of koi"。
Xin Xiaodu became Alibaba"The Chosen Daughter"After the news broke, she quickly became one of the most popular searches on Weibo. Her social ** account is followed by nearly a million users and hopes to use it"European gas"Koi blesses himself with a promotion and a salary increase.
And in this huge whirlwind of traffic, in just a few hours, a small letter rate"Young"raised hundreds of thousands of dust, and then became a hot little Internet celebrity.
Although he is a god-like rich second generation and a wealthy family, Derpy still has a working-class self-confidence in his bones. In order not to cause trouble to the company, Xiao Duoye did not leave his job in a hurry after submitting the resignation letter, but sent a courier package to go home to pick up the brand, and also held a handover ceremony with the company's new employees.
After completing the preparations, on November 17, 2018, Ashin started his 100 million world tour with a travel bag on his back.
In order to better interact with netizens, he also shared his travel process through vlogs on his social ** account. The popularity of the first grassroots travel blog is evident, reaching 600,000 times.
From these trips**, we can see that Xiaosheng's schedule is actually very full.
The day before, you could see her strolling in the rain in Shibuya, Tokyo;The next day, you can see her flying to New Zealand to see the Lord of the Rings starsThe day before, she might have climbed up and down on a ski slope in Sweden;The next day, you can see her ordering haute couture at a luxury department store in France.
There is a kind of food in the world called eating publications, which is equivalent to what I eat;There is a profession in the world called blogging, which is equivalent to what I go. After watching Xin Xiaozi's health **, netizens seem to have enjoyed a luxurious travel feast.
Netizens are even more excited about traveling around the world for free without spending money, and they have said how many blessings they have accumulated in their previous lives, and they only have this opportunity in this life.
But is travel really free for Nobita?Is winning the jackpot really one of the greatest blessings of his life?Life is like boiled water, expensive in temperature.
The so-called capitalists have always operated at a loss. As for this 100 million yuan luxury tour, simple Internet people may not see anything suspicious.
Xin Xiaodu himself is an award-winning lifeguard, but during his year-long trip around the world, he was very unhappy, and even said on social ** afterwards that his trip was more painful than enjoyable.
The only loser.
Before traveling around the world, Xin Xiao was a tireless IT employee. As a software developer, her job often involves sitting in front of a computer in front of a phosphor screen all day.
On weekends and holidays, if her friends don't want to see her, she basically stays at home and is a happy fat cow.
Obviously, like Xin Xiaodu"Nerds", the physical fitness is definitely not as good as that of a real travel blogger. However, during this year-long trip, in order not to waste the harvest and opportunities of travel, Xin Xiaodu's itinerary was very tight, and he had to take two to three flights almost every month.
Because of his tight schedule, he only slept less than three hours a day.
Due to the lack of sleep for a long time, coupled with the fact that his soul was in a relatively restless and agitated state, Xin Xiaodu's body eventually became very tired during the journey.
Others go abroad to rest, but I am working"。
According to Xin Xiaozhu, although Alipay launched a free global tour, at the request of the organizer, Xin Xiaozhu had to promote it in the form of a check-in during the trip.
When travel becomes utilitarian, it's just work. It was also a job without five insurances and one housing fund, which made me very stressed and often sick. "
Of course, in the eyes of others, it doesn't seem like a big deal to get the top-notch service provided by luxury stores by taking a few photos a day.
But once you really understand the unfair rules behind this glamorous life, you probably won't think much about it.
As mentioned earlier, Xin Xiaodu saved more than $200,000 through his own efforts before leaving the company.
After this round-the-world trip, Xin Xiaodu not only enjoyed his body and mind, but also spent all the $200,000 he had saved hard, and even got back a large amount of money of his own.
Later, after flying abroad, I learned that the final reward only included air tickets and hotel accommodation, not including travel expenses, and even the air ticket money had to be paid by yourself"。
Ms. Xin said that once she was skiing in Sweden, the organizers only offered her a free ticket to the ski resort, which allegedly did not include ski equipment.
In order not to waste tickets, Xiaoxin had to pay out of his own pocket to buy expensive ski equipment.
Although we don't know if Alipay officials took into account the possible irrationality of the incident when planning this luxury trip. But in a way, these irrationalities are like disguised consumption imposed on the winners by unscrupulous people. "
In addition to this hidden consumption, what shocked Shinee even more was that as the holder of these free tickets, he couldn't really decide when and where to give out the prizes.
One day, while traveling in France, Shinee learned that she had the opportunity to pick up a free voucher at a local luxury store.
Considering that the production of other haute couture products takes a certain amount of time, and that travel vouchers for other countries are about to expire, Xin Xiaodu did not stay too long after his trip to France, but asked the clerk not to forget to inform him before the finished product was ready.
Three months later, Xin Xiaodu, who had gone to Thailand, finally received a notice from another customer. However, in this notice, the owner said that Xin Xiao had to be present in person to receive the luxury goods. As a partner of Alipay, they do not provide overseas shipping services.
It is worth noting that Alipay only allows Xin Xiaodu to travel to a certain country once, and if he wants to fly to France again, he needs to bear the costs of air tickets, hotels and other expenses.
As a trip by this trip"Toss"The exhausted woman, in order not to delay her trip to other countries, Xin Xiaodu finally had to give up this expensive luxury.
Recalling this adventure, Xin Xiaodu was even more helpless:
Everyone's imagination is limited by poverty, and I am limited by poverty when I go to receive the prize"。
At the same time, Xin Xiaodu even admitted that in front of this 100 million prize, he seems to be the only loser.
In the end, this absurd journey gained publicity and traffic as the organizer of Alipay, and gained Internet celebrity, relaxation and fun as the people who eat melons, and the winners themselves"Koi"In the end, not only did he get nothing, but he also lost his job, suffered physically and mentally, spent all his savings, and wasted his time.
Melancholy"**"。
After this absurd trip around the world, Xin Xiaodu returned to his hometown and was responsible for the interview and intriguing scandal.
Although on top"Koi Girl", but Xin Xiaodu still behaved cheerfully, keeping her bright and warm when visiting everyone, as if this trip was indeed a happy journey for her.
In order to take advantage of the Internet celebrity effect, in September 2020, New Xiaodoudou cooperated with a so-called self-** company, hoping to bring traffic to each other through self-** operation.
At that time, this company provided a ** plan to the mailbox company, in their large-scale ** event, as long as you donate one yuan, you can get a koi, which will be handled by the mailbox.
In addition, in order to attract more netizens to participate, the company also offered a $5 million worth of mansions with sea views and sports cars** as prizes. While these prizes are slightly lower than Alipay's $100 million mega jackpot, they are more practical.
And one more"Chinese koi"As a gimmick, as soon as the event was announced, it quickly attracted countless new azuki fans to watch.
Netizens who originally paid attention to eating melons couldn't stand it, so they bought it for one yuan"Tickets"。With such a fanatical following, more than 10 million netizens participated in the event in just a few days.
However, the night before **, Xiao Duxin's team took 10 million with them"Tickets"disappeared, and Xiao Duxin's Weibo account, which was the spokesperson of the event, had to be officially closed.
Since the organizer and spokesperson both disappeared the day before, netizens gradually realized that something was wrong and left messages to inquire about the situation.
Just a few days later, the relevant authorities announced that Xin Xiaodu's partner company was suspected of recruiting and stealing qualifiers, and that the **event they organized was actually a**.
Although Xin Xiaodu himself said that he did not know about this and did not receive the confirmation fee promised by the company, as a public figure, he caused a bad impact on the society and was finally punished by the relevant authorities for three months.
As soon as the news of Xin Xiaodu's participation in the fraud was announced, the Internet immediately exploded. Many netizens who participated in the event said that although Xin Xiao was not a real **, if it wasn't for his influence, he wouldn't have given the money to ** for nothing.
Koi Girl"The fame became"**"Xiao Du was also collectively written in the dust by countless fans, and they even shouted for Xiao Du to take away the 5 million event bonus.
As a poor person, it is impossible to lose money. In this fierce ** storm and psychological distress, Xin Xiao suffered from severe depression, and the whole person's mental state became very bad. In June 2021, after the Weibo ban ended, Xin Xiaodu posted a ** statement online.
*, Xin Xiaodu was pale and depressed. In the face of the abuse of netizens, Xin Xiaodu did not complain or get angry.
He calmly recounted all the misfortunes and embarrassments he encountered after his trip, and how he unknowingly believed the promises of the ** company and paid off his credit card debt. Xin Xiaozhu sincerely apologized for the inconvenience caused to the public.
Netizens learned from ** that Derpy couldn't find a job after returning from her first business trip. As a 30-year-old software developer, Xin Xiaodu has no advantage in the Internet.
His term is one year. Without jobs, there is no economy**. It's understandable for desperate people to do stupid things in despair.
Under Xin Xiaodou's sincere apology, the Internet person finally forgave her previous behavior. After being fooled by desire, one must get back on the right track in life. Xin Xiaodou's life has already fallen into turmoil and hesitation, although he was dragged into the quagmire of a reward of 100 million yuan, but fortunately it was not too late.
In June 2021, after nine disappointing live broadcasts, Xin Xiaodu was finally ready to give up"Chinese koi"The image of accepting the most ordinary self. This time, she is no longer obsessed with being an Internet celebrity, but decides to get a teaching certificate and re-embark on the road of teaching.
It is often said that if Seon loses his horse, he will not know whether he is blessed. If he were to do it all over again, Xin Xiaodu might decide to embark on a journey to this 100 million world. Although this journey has brought him more pain than joy, who is to say that this pain is not the best way to understand human nature?And human nature is greed.
