The scandal of "Guo Youcai"'s popularity

Hello, everyone. I'm the Second Cat Xia who has been working hard!

After "Wang Ganma", only Guo Youcai can lead a city by himself.

Who is Guo Youcai?

He is a new online celebrity in Heze, Shandong Province. He is a singing blogger in the daytime and a barbecue master in the evening.

Recently, with a cover song "Promise", he quickly became popular throughout the network in a few days.

On May 10, his account had only 190000 fans.

But in just a few days, the number of fans has risen to more than 10.206 million at the phenomenal level, and up to now, the data is still growing at a high speed.

With the explosion of Guo Youcai, all aspects of society began to take action around "online celebrity".

The government renovated the Heze South Railway Station, which was already sparsely populated, overnight, and even zoned and restricted the flow of water for this purpose.

The three major operators have also shipped signal cars to serve online celebrities from all over the country for live broadcast.

At the same time, a large number of volunteers also came to the scene.

They are busy from morning to evening every day. They not only provide free mobile phone charging, mineral water, road guidance and other services for tourists from other places, but also deliver Heze's specialty peony to tourists.

I'm afraid I can't keep the sky breaking traffic.

However, only half a month ago, the Heze South Station broadcast live by Guo Youcai was still deserted, and sometimes even the live broadcast would be driven away. Not to mention that someone has "escorted" him live.

Now, a city is moving around an online celebrity, and everyone is rushing to Heze for fear of losing the chance to become rich overnight.

Is this a good thing?

In recent years, one after another "online celebrity" has become the mainstream, attracting countless people and even a city crazy about it.

Behind the sky shattering traffic, there is always a trace of anxiety.

It's hard to tell if there is anything fishy in it, but please listen to me tell a story:

More than 2000 years ago, Duke Huan of Qi faced a difficult problem:

How to defeat the powerful Chu State to become the hegemon.

Prime Minister Guan Zhong offered a plan:

Heavy money is needed for deer.

The State of Qi sent people to the State of Chu to buy deer, and said everywhere, "Duke Huan of Qi is a good deer, and is willing to pay a lot of money to buy it!"

In less than half a month, the deer price in Chu State more than doubled.

The people of Chu who saw this "shortcut to wealth" began to raise deer and sell them to the King of Qi.

Later, the price of deer quickly rose dozens of times. People throughout the Chu State stopped farming, no longer engaged in national defense, and no longer trained soldiers. Instead, they tried to raise deer.

One year later, the per capita income of the State of Chu soared, and even the King of Chu was very happy. I can't believe how simple it is to make Chu a "rich country and strong people".

As a result, the next spring was the planting season again, and the State of Qi suddenly ordered that it was not allowed to do business with the people of Chu anymore.

At this time, Chu found that his family had no food to eat except a lot of Qi coins.

The King of Chu also realized in his hurry that this was a conspiracy.

Therefore, the king of Qi defeated the powerful State of Chu and became the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Someone once said:

The lesson we learned from history is that we learned nothing from history.

Therefore, some seemingly stupid tricks are used again and again, but they are effective again and again.

The tragedies of some countries and nations are constantly reflected but staged.

Is there any difference in essence between "deer raising" two thousand years ago and "live broadcasting" two thousand years later?
