Do you remember the "Koi Girl" who won the 100 million jackpot in September 2018? She did not change her life because she won the jackpot, but was photographed at the bottom of her life, and some people described her as "a koi girl who was miserable by Ma Yun". Of course, Ma Yun can't be blamed for this matter, after all, Ma Yun really gave the award, but the rich koi girl didn't catch it, but put herself in, and could only say that "it is difficult for a person to make money beyond cognition".
Speaking in September 2018, Alipay launched a round-the-world travel grand prix on Weibo, which will randomly select a lucky user and give him a luxury round-the-world trip worth 100 million yuan**. Derpy scratched his finger to ** the news, and was actually hit by luck. The 100 million grand prize is a luxury trip**, not cash, mainly a variety of coupons or gift certificates, which can be used to offset some expenses of travel, accommodation, eating, drinking and Tesco during the trip, or upgrading the general qualification to VIP status. In addition, this ** offer has a time limit for consumption.
At that moment, the news came, Derpy was happy, and the workers were envious, and in a short period of time, the number of Derpy's fans skyrocketed to one million. People see her as lucky.
Derpy graduated from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, originally had a good job, working as a programmer in a state-owned enterprise, with a stable job and a lot of income, without the 100 million award, she could have lived well.
But this kind of great luck that fell from the sky is not something that anyone can give up at will. Derpy resigns from her stable job and begins planning her own luxury trip around the world.
She also thought about making money while playing, and monetizing traffic by sharing travelogues, and if she did it well, she would have the opportunity to live a free second half of her life by relying on the popularity of this award. She renamed her account "Koi Travels the World".
At first, Derpy is immersed in infinite excitement and joy, and she can upgrade to a seat in the first class cabin, which ordinary people are reluctant to have. From the Alps to the ancient city of Rome, from Venice to Istanbul, she has lived her dreams to the fullest.
However, the good times are short-lived, and Derpy discovers that all of this is not free. The 100 million trips** are mainly composed of hotel discounts, air ticket gift certificates, discount coupons, reduction coupons, etc., and if you want to spend it, you have to pay the basic cost out of your own pocket. Even if you don't shop, you have to pay for drinks, meals, taxis, and even many accommodations outside of the home.
Derpy finds that his travel expenses are getting bigger and bigger, not only spending all his savings, but sometimes swiping his credit card for emergencies, and in a bleak time, Derpy's credit card debt is as high as 200,000.
The 100,000,000,000,000 grand prize voucher still has an expiration date, and Derpy has to struggle between countries in order to use it before it expires. What should have been a good trip around the world has turned into a special forces tour, and she has little time to experience the local customs in depth. The day before, I went to Africa to see the animals migrating, and the next day I had to rush to the North Pole on a cruise. I visited 10 European countries in a month, what do you say you can experience? Always tired on the road, sleeping only a few hours a night is a common thing, which makes Derpy dizzy and jet-lagged to tell which time zone he is in. Such a trip is physically and mentally exhausting, and the money is empty.
There is a saying that the small gift certificate is not spent, why take out a part of it and resell it, and make millions of dollars to be a little rich woman. I'm sorry, but this coupon is tied to the winner, and she can only use it herself.
In addition, Derpy's use of these gift certificates is also required and must be advertised for the merchant. For example, during the journey, I help merchants complete online and offline advertising layouts, check-ins and other tasks, and every time I go to a place, I have to post and take photos on various platforms. The itinerary was originally tight, running all the way, and doing so many trivial things, which consumed most of Derpy's time and energy, all of which were not paid a penny. Derpy paid out of her own pocket to go on the road, and was bound to a gift certificate to do tasks, so that Derpy had no time to run her account, the account of millions of fans became a decoration, and the blogger's career was also yellow.
The 100 million travel prize is like a whirlpool, sucking away Derpy's wallet, energy and time, and the prosperity is over. And this is not over, in 2020, due to the impact of the epidemic, the employment environment plummeted. Derpy, who returned from travel, because she had been out of work for more than 2 years, as a highly educated IT practitioner, she had been looking for a job for more than a year, but she had not found any decent job.
An anchor who claimed to be the king of e-commerce came to her to cooperate, saying that she wanted to copy the myth of the koi girl she was back then, and carried out the "one dollar transfer koi" activity, with a bonus of only 5 million yuan, which also attracted a lot of attention because of her. As a result, the partner is an unqualified black company, and the activity is carried out by the relevant departments. Netizens in the comment area criticized Derpy, which made her almost collapse.
Looking back, this 100 million grand prize is a kind of collective marketing, where multiple businesses gather together and draw a lucky winner to promote. It seems that the total amount is high, but the winners have to pay out of their own pockets to help them promote it, which is not at all affordable for ordinary people.
Derpy found himself involved in the consumption whirlpool and couldn't afford it, and if he could stop the loss in time and stop the trip, the injury would not be so big.
Of course, the 100 million grand prize is not without value, if Derpy knows how to operate, it can be realized in this money. She made a plan before departure, and used the itinerary and the heat at that time to talk about many cooperative businesses. For example, negotiate cooperation with travel companies to promote travel lines; You can also bring goods live broadcast, whether it is clothing, bags, travel goods. I really don't understand or can't take care of the energy, I can sign a contract with MCN company, find a company to help her plan and operate, with her popularity and millions of fans at that time, it is not impossible to earn millions, she can take this opportunity to expand the fan base, and lay the foundation for bringing goods after the return trip. It's a pity that the rich and noble people didn't catch it, and they also took their own money, time and energy.
Reviewing Derpy's experience is not to watch the ups and downs of ordinary people in the face of opportunities. It makes us think about whether ordinary people have the ability to seize opportunities when they are faced with them. When you can't do it, can you find the person who can help you achieve a counterattack.
Improve yourself, make friends with noble people, and there is always a chance to upgrade in life.
