Replay 07: Opening the Temple of Learning

Chapter 77 Extremely Exceeding is now available (Subscription Request)

The new semester has started and the leaders of each college are very busy.

Dean Zhao Cheng is also very busy dealing with some work related to the start of school.

Chen Qiyi wanted to use the computer school's server, saying that students wanted to test the application.

Zhao Cheng didn't even look at Lu Shan's mind map of software design and agreed directly.

The School of Computer Science already has several groups of servers for students to use for experiments.

The school has just started and the server is empty, so it doesn't matter if we give it to Chen Qiyi's students.

Of course, the premise is compliance and safety.

Seeing that Zhao Cheng did not look at Lu Shan’s software design, Chen Qiyi also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was worried that Zhao Cheng would see the software designed by Lu Shan and compete with him for students again.

Before Lu Shan enrolled, Chen Qiyi felt it was very dangerous! He had to keep an eye on Lu Shan all the time to make sure he was not robbed by others.

Lu Shan uploaded the software with the algorithm to the server and let it run automatically.

Then go through the procedure, obtain Symbian certification, and add the application to the corresponding download page.

This matter lasted for a whole week.

08 was indeed a desert era for mobile Internet.

Android phones have not yet been released, and Apple phones will not be available on the Apple Store until around October 08.

Therefore, the only open system is Nokia's Symbian.

The Symbian system does not have an official app store.

If users want to download third-party software, they will go to the wap website to download it.

The more commonly used websites include Zhiji.com, Mobile Home, Mobile Enthusiasts, etc.

Those who can use smartphones are basically young people, and they will also try to download some applications they want to use from third-party websites.

The entry requirements for software on these websites are also very low.

As long as you meet his privacy requirements, are not a virus, and comply with his profit policy, the application can be launched.

Of course, if your app is free and there is no dividend, that’s fine too.

After all, the entire mobile Internet application and application store construction are still in the exploratory stage.

The way these third-party websites make money is not through these online applications, but by obtaining user traffic by providing application download channels.

The website itself will also set up some advertising links to make profits.

This is the enlightenment era of mobile Internet.

After Lu Shan uploaded the application, he gave a detailed description of the application through text and pictures in the introduction and application details column, and added some tempting content.

It's not illegal or against regulations, but it's quite ambiguous.

After all, in this era, if you want users to download and use your product, you have to be a little ambiguous and vague, so that people will always have something to think about.

In the introduction, Lu Shan wrote a sentence like this: Search for any information you want and any pictures you want.

Then the corresponding picture below is Aunt Hojo with a voluptuous figure wearing a swimsuit.

After Lu Shan uploaded the application, he took out his mobile phone and downloaded the Jiyue browser through a third-party website.

Test it yourself.

The browser runs very smoothly, which may be because there are relatively few users downloading it at present. It is much smoother than UC browser and the browser that comes with the Symbian system.

The most important thing is that once the browser and the corresponding algorithm start running, they can collect some of Lu Shan’s mobile phone usage habits in the cloud.

Lu Shan had been running the phone for about half an hour.

The information automatically pushed by the browser is more in line with Lu Shan's usage habits.

Algorithms need to be trained. Under the existing hardware conditions, if we can push content that suits users' preferences, so that users can spend more time on Jiyue Browser and Lu Shan can get more points, then the purpose will be achieved.

But Lu Shan was still worried about one problem.

That is the issue of application promotion.

The app is simply put online on a third-party website, allowing netizens to accidentally click on the app as if they were winning a lottery, and then be attracted by the content of the app, and then accidentally download it.

It will take an unknown amount of time to accumulate users through this model.

You have to spend money on promotion.

Lu Shan took a look at the applications at the top of the homepage.

Ranked first is UC Browser. UC has received several rounds of financing and has plenty of money. It has been a long-term recharge customer.

UC's boss Ke Xiaopeng, who later became the boss of Xiaopeng Automobile, had the same idea as Lu Shan at this time. The mobile Internet era was about to arrive, so it was better to strike first.

So vigorously promote your own mobile browser.

The boss's determination and foresight are indeed useful in any era.

Ranked from 2nd to 10th are Tiantian Dongting, Anyview (used for reading novels in txt format), Fetion, etc.

In short, these top-ranked applications are either backed by existing Internet giants or are powerful up-and-coming companies that have already started raising funds and burning money.

In short, I'm not short of money.

Lu Shan was left alone, and his savings, including the New Year's red envelopes, were only 3000 yuan, and the server was provided by the school for free.

Lu Shan found the contact information of these websites and asked for their quotations.

The quotes for brushing up the rankings of several websites all start at RMB 1, and there is no guarantee that they will be ranked at the top of the homepage, only that they will be on the homepage.

Lu Shan browsed the homepages of these websites. Apart from the recharge applications at the front which were relatively eye-catching, the applications at the back were all crowded, and the words and icons could not be seen clearly, let alone clicking to download.

Lu Shan thought that he was not strong enough, so he said thank you and goodbye to the other party.

Things don't happen overnight.

If it doesn't work, Lu Shan will resort to door-to-door sales.

First, we used Jiangzhou University as a base and posted advertisements for Jiyue Browser on all the bulletin boards.

If you want to invite Lu Shan to give a paper presentation in the library, you must first download the app.

With a mess of things in his mind, Lu Shan staggered out of the computer department's server room.

When I was almost at the school gate, I met Qiao Weiwei and Ma Lijuan who were going out for dinner.

On the first day of school, we must have a meal at a small stir-fry restaurant outside the school.

When Ma Lijuan saw Lu Shan, she shouted openly, "Oh, isn't this Teacher Lu?"

Qiao Weiwei blushed and glared at Ma Lijuan.

Lu Shan was also very generous, "Hello, two senior sisters!"

After learning that Lu Shan was not a teacher, Ma Lijuan and Qiao Weiwei felt relieved.

Although Qiao Weiwei felt embarrassed, she was also very curious. Lu Shan was only in his third year of high school, so why did he know so much?

Ma Lijuan said, "Teacher Lu, let's go out for dinner together. We'll treat you. It's time for dinner anyway!"

"Weiwei, what do you mean?"

Qiao Weiwei nodded and said, "Let's do it together! You helped us revise the paper, and we haven't thanked you yet!"

Lu Shan did not refuse, and the three of them went to a "terrible" restaurant outside the school together.

At this time, Li Changlong, the moderator of the computer technology section of Tianya Forum and a technical geek, was writing a post about the budding development of mobile Internet while playing with his Nokia N95 mobile phone.

He is evaluating some ecological applications of the Symbian system.
