Chapter 1683 Wooden Man Challenge

Latest URL:

National long-distance running is indeed very popular, but it is too popular. Every city of a certain size holds a marathon, and both professionals and amateurs can participate. It is really nothing new, and there is no trick.

If it's just this plan, Yang Cheng has every reason to let the other party go, the level is too low, not to mention creating another red nose festival, at least it must have the popularity of the 'Ice Bucket Challenge', right?

Moreover, the "Ice Bucket Challenge" is also intended to arouse people's awareness and care for patients with ALS. It's okay to always pour yourself with an ice bucket?

Besides, the "Ice Bucket Challenge" started with a good intention, but over time, it became a means for public figures to attract attention. It is said to be entertainment, but everyone understands the purpose.

Fortunately, Thomas was not disappointed when he heard Yang Cheng's pass, so he calmly turned to the next page, "Wood man challenge~"

This is a bit new, Yang Cheng can’t help but sit up straight, he often played this game when he was a child, there is nothing to say, it is fresh and playable, but it still doesn’t have continuity, it’s easy to get bored if you play too much~

Shaking his head slightly, he said, "Thomas, what I want is not just a phenomenal game event."

Thomas took a deep breath, "Mr. Yang, I think this event should be explosive in the early stages. Only when the attention is raised can we consider the issue of long-term holding."

"But you must at least let me see the long-term plan. I don't want to make a one-shot deal."

"Mr. Yang, the significance of the wooden man's challenge is to awaken people's enthusiasm for charity, don't be too numb to charity like a wooden man, and take the initiative to do something.

We can set up a prize pool, and the prize money is charity money. Those who succeed in the challenge can make charitable donations in the name of the team. "

Yang Cheng pressed his hand, "Wait, let's not talk about how to distinguish the winner of this challenge, how is the prize pool set?"

Thomas pressed the remote control, and the page became an introduction to the game rules. According to the design, the challenge is divided into individuals and groups. The judges are netizens. Challengers upload their own challenge videos to the exclusive website, and the netizens initiate voting and win the most votes. Even if the winner wins, a total of 100 places will be determined, and the bonus is the donation in descending order. For example, donate 1 million pounds in the name of the first winner.

Yang Cheng rubbed her chin, "It sounds interesting, but the outcome of this challenge is too vague. How to define the outcome, I'm afraid some contestants will not be convinced."

After a pause, "The mode is correct, but the challenge items need to be changed~"

Thomas insisted, "I think the focus of this project is not on winning or losing, but on the participation of all. Just take a picture of the whole process with your phone.”

Yang Cheng pondered, "It makes sense, but I still have doubts about the evaluation criteria~"

The short-haired girl stood up and added, "Actually, controversy is a good thing, and controversy is also a driving force. For example, if someone is not convinced, he can wait for a better work to participate in the competition next year, and the power to judge the winner is completely handed over to Netizens, we don’t participate, even if some people are not convinced, there will be many netizens to help explain, we just need to do a good job in service, of course, providing a lot of charity bonuses is also very important.”

Yang Cheng looked at Carson, "What do you think?"

Carson bowed slightly and said, "I only have one question. In the first few years, the sponsor can provide bonuses, but this is not a long-term solution. Is there any way to attract private donations?"

Thomas was stunned for a moment, "This problem is indeed our negligence, and we didn't consider it carefully~"

Yang Cheng smiled, "I'm very satisfied that you can do this overnight, let's go back and improve the details slowly, and determine the time for the operation as soon as possible, and I will give corresponding publicity cooperation here.

"

Thomas said pleasantly, "Mr. Yang, our plan has passed?"

Yang Cheng spread out her hands, "Yes, Mr. Robinson, you have won this list, congratulations~"

A group of young people couldn't suppress their excitement any longer, they rushed to the stage and hugged Thomas together~

Yang Cheng looked at this group of young people with dreams in relief, and couldn't help saying, "Don't be too happy, if something goes wrong, I have the right to terminate the contract at any time~"

Thomas immediately stood up and promised, "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, if there is a problem, we are willing to take responsibility to the end~"

"Okay, don't be so serious. It's something to be happy that you have won this order. Go and sign the contract with Carson. The kitchen has prepared lunch, eat before leaving. I have something to do, so I won't accompany you."

Yang Cheng turned his head and left after explaining, this matter is not worth him staying and accompanying.

Just now Allen sent a video call request. I thought this guy was bored and wanted to chat with him, because he was listening to Thomas' report and refused to answer, but this guy called twice in a row. Maybe something happened. Only then hurriedly returned to comfort, and used the computer to have a video conversation with Allen.

"What's the matter? Urge so urgently?"

"Sterling crashed in early Asian trading today~"

"What? What happened this morning? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

In the Asian morning session, that was last night in UK time, when he and William were having a drink, twelve hours had passed, and when they got up in the morning, they were in a hurry to have breakfast with the guests and did not watch the news, so that such a big incident happened Things, he didn't know anything about it.

"I thought you got the message, and we didn't pay."

Yang Cheng let go of his nervous heart, "Then we made money?"

"No, I didn't make any money. This incident is a bit weird. I can guarantee that 99.99% of the people in the world did not predict this flash crash. There was no sign at all. Many of my friends did not recover after a long time."

This is indeed a bit unbelievable. It stands to reason that there are many capable people on Wall Street. It is impossible that no one expected the plummet of the pound, because the entire financial market is man-made, and foreign exchange is the same. As long as it is man-made, it is impossible that there are no clues.

Suddenly a word popped up in his mind, and he blurted out, "Is it fat fingers?"

The so-called fat fingers are also called "oolong fingers" and "fat fingers".

To put it simply, someone placed a wrong order, and due to negligence or technical failure, the trader pressed the wrong key during the transaction, and made the wrong buying and selling direction, quantity, and price.

A trader at RB Mizuho Securities once made a major operational error and entered the order "sell 1 J-COM stock at 610,000 yen/share" as "sell 610,000 J-COM shares at 1 yen/share". When Mizuho realized the mistake, the trading procedures for 550,000 shares had been completed, causing investors to panic and causing securities stocks to suffer heavy losses. At that time, the Tokyo Stock Exchange was in chaos.

Later, even though Mizuho issued a large-scale purchase order, the repurchase behavior caused it to suffer a loss of 30 billion yen in the end, which shows how powerful fat fingers are.
