Chapter 1735 Undoubted Success

"What's the good news?" Feng Yiping asked.

"Feng, do you know how much rice has been donated by the website so far?" Cummins asked excitedly.

"How much?"

"More than 200 million grains," Cummins proudly raised two fingers, "It is still growing rapidly."

If we calculate on average that one person answers 5 questions correctly and donates 100 grains of rice, then almost 2 million people have participated in this activity.

Feng Yiping looked at the watch, "It has been nearly 25 hours, and I don't think this is such an exciting achievement,"

Especially on the basis of several of his own projects, which already have such a large user base.

"It's not easy to calculate like this. We didn't have any publicity in advance. The news of the launch was only widely known to people around the world today, and our own platform has just begun to be promoted," Cummins explained seriously.

"Even so, a charity project has been launched for only 25 hours, and there are already about 2 million users participating. This is undoubtedly a very rare success,"

"You are right, we did a good job," Feng Yiping patted him on the shoulder.

Yes, mainly because of the time difference, this news has not been known to more people until today.

Well, I don’t care much because several platforms have tens of millions of users, but for anyone, 2 million people is not a small number anyway.

From a business perspective, a website that has only been online for 25 hours has already had 2 million users, which is even more worth writing about.

"Boris has sent us two congratulatory letters in a row, congratulating us on our very surprising results,"

Isn’t it true? This is only the first day, and so many users have participated in this project, that is, today, millions of users have paid attention to the issue of hunger, which is naturally a great boost to the work of their World Food Program.

The reason why many problems are difficult to solve is that too few people understand them, and the same is true for hunger.

When more and more people are increasingly worried about their obesity, how can they imagine that there are still so many people in the world who can’t fill their stomachs?

"Do you want to release this news now?" Zheng Jiayi asked.

The launch of the Free Rice Network has helped Feng Yiping get rid of the reputation of not being keen on charity, but many people are probably still waiting to see the effectiveness of this project.

After all, this is indeed a new model.

"Okay," Feng Yiping nodded, "Next, we can consider announcing it to the public every 12 hours and remind everyone that you can see the relevant data intuitively on the website,"

"Yiping," Zheng Jiayi suddenly called him in Mandarin and gestured behind him.

Feng Yiping saw that a staff member he had met yesterday was catching up with him, "Mr. Feng," this square-faced man seemed to be in good physical condition, jogging all the way, still calm and breathless, "The chief asked me to convey his congratulations to you,"

"Thank you,"

When they met yesterday, the vice premier asked about the details of his project.

It was then that he learned that the United Nations World Food Program had entered our country since 1979, that is, to provide assistance. Up to now, more than 30 million Chinese people have benefited from their work.

It just so happens that this year, we are going to change from a recipient country to a donor country, and the project launched by Feng Yiping just happened to echo such a major event, so it has some different meanings.

The vice premier therefore gave a high evaluation of the project he launched - CCTV morning news even inserted this news, which is probably related to his evaluation.

"The leader said that we are a responsible new big country, and we should show our broad mind in the face of these challenges faced by mankind. He hopes that outstanding entrepreneurs like you can launch more widely watched projects in the future."

"Thank you for the affirmation and encouragement from the leader."

Just listening to those words of this person, Feng Yiping always couldn't help but be absent-minded.

Yes, we are a big country. This big now mainly refers to a large population, so it can indeed play a huge role in projects like this.

Speaking of which, Feng Yiping couldn't believe it when he heard the feedback from the country. There was such a big response?

To be honest, he really regretted it at that time.

If he had known that the people in the country would be so enthusiastic, he would definitely find a way to bring in China Mobile, China Telecom, or China Unicom as a group of advertisers.

He believed that the Chinese people would definitely have "love" for these operators who only collect money. They might rather not rest at noon, but would lie in front of the computer, check more information, and answer more questions.

Let's not talk about whether it is really just learning one more word. For every extra question they answer, they have to pay for 20 grains of rice. Why not?

If that is the case, Feng Yiping believes that even if the number of participants remains the same, the amount of rice donated will definitely double.

He just thought of the advertiser here, and someone immediately talked to him about it.

He just sat down in the restaurant when he received a call from Whitman, "Feng, I want to know, if I want to become the second advertiser, what price do I have to pay?"

I have to say that this person is really professional. She has been arguing with Feng Yiping recently and knows that Feng Yiping doesn't like her very much, but for the benefit of the company, she called Feng Yiping without hesitation.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Whitman, there are already many merchants queuing up, and you can't become the second supplier."

Although Feng Yiping likes her tone of letting you do whatever you want, it's impossible for her to become the second advertiser.

Feng Yiping believes that Whitman and others must be very concerned about their free rice exchange website, and they called after seeing that the website attracted so many people.

Yes, because I didn't pay attention to Feng Yiping's press conference yesterday, I was a little caught off guard. Whitman later specifically told the assistant to pay close attention to the development of Feng Yiping's website. Of course, there was still some hope to watch the excitement at the beginning.

It's quite novel, but isn't the key to see the results? If this project that you said you had carefully prepared for a long time is launched but no one is interested, I will definitely be the first to cheer for you.

In the end, I didn't see the excitement, but I saw the very good advertising effect here. If millions of people watch my advertisement every day, let alone buy hundreds of millions of grains of rice a day, even if they buy 1 billion grains of rice a day - that's about 20 tons, and at the current price, it's less than $10,000. Is there anything more cost-effective than this?

In particular, the first advertiser is none other than Amazon, the mortal enemy.

After all, I am the leader in the e-commerce field with the largest market value, so how can I fall behind?

"So, what if we make additional donations?" Whitman said.

"Your proposal is very novel and attractive, but I'm sorry, we still have to improve the relevant matters,"

Feng Yiping hung up the phone and said to Cummins, "Man, there is no doubt that we succeeded again,"

The success confirmed by your opponent is the real success, and the call just made by Whitman is a clear confirmation.

"Yeah," Cummins raised his glass, "I hope that by this afternoon, we can exceed 400 million grains,"

Zheng Jiayi was even more generous, "In the future, an average of 1 billion per day,"

This goal is really a bit high, classmates. Feng Yiping smiled and clinked glasses with them, but he was thinking about Whitman's proposal just now.

If a merchant proposes to donate an additional 1,000 tons or more of rice, then, can they have the right to become advertisers first?

This does not seem to be impossible to consider.

This is a website originally established for donating rice. Why not take the white rice that is delivered to the door?

On the other side, Whitman held the phone with a very ugly face. You hung up on me? Where is your upbringing, your humility, and your politeness?

…………

That evening, Europeans who were concerned about yesterday's news clicked on the website out of curiosity. They looked under the data statistics column and saw that after 32 hours online, this website has donated more than 330 million grains of rice, which means an average of more than 10 million grains per hour!

This was undoubtedly quite successful. Feng Yiping was indeed worthy of his reputation.

This time, many people got to know Feng Yiping again, but this time, it was not because of his knowledge or wealth, but because of his charity.

This naturally made more people like this Chinese guy.
