Back to 2003

Tang Qinghua himself is at Shu University, but there are many professors at Shu University, and there are also many network-related majors. Naturally, there are many people who can cooperate with Youth Network. It is very likely that there are experts among them, such as Xu Chunxiang back then.

Tang Qinghua's two companies already have start-up capital and can start to cast a wide net. They cannot find a way to carry out precise operations as before. That would be too tiring on the one hand, and there is a high chance of failure on the other.

"Provide them with funds. If it's really not enough, you can come back to me."

Tang Qinghua said to Zhong Tingting: "With reference to the current Penguin, we should make the chat software as soon as possible. It is best to be able to fit in with the Youth Network. Then it will be used as a special chat tool for the Youth Network... It should be light, simple and practical!"

"I don't know the specifics."

Zhong Tingting thought for a while and then said: "Collaboration with university professors is more troublesome. Some cooperations are direct and simple, and some cooperation are more complicated... Three days later, there will be a banquet for cooperation with professors from Shu University. You can go and try it. See Look at their concrete success.”

"Okay, I'll go take a look!"

Tang Qinghua nodded.

……

As the end of term approaches, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

This banquet was arranged by the Feiniao Xidu branch. Zhong Tingting was originally invited to come, but Zhong Tingting couldn't leave because she had something to do, so she let Tang Qinghua go. Anyway, he was in charge of the company's major affairs.

Tang Qinghua was not familiar with the situation, so he planned to go to the Xidu branch first.

The office building of the Xidu branch is on the [-]th floor.

"What?"

There are security guards on the floor, and people come to ask questions when they see them.

"Oh, I'm looking for your minister."

Tang Qinghua thought for a while and said.

The current person in charge of the Xidu branch is Qing Diao, a young man in his thirties who was introduced by teacher Zhong Tingting. It is said that he is a returnee from studying abroad and a Ph.D. who is very sensitive to the Internet.

Qing Diao is now the head of the Xidu branch. Although he is young, he is very courageous. After Zhong Tingting left Xidu, he quickly stabilized the situation and took the initiative to launch several businesses. Zhong Tingting recommended him to Tang Qinghua. As long as Xidu Everything is developing smoothly here, and Qing Diao will be the first deputy general manager of Youth Network.

"Do you have a reservation?"

The security guard looked him up and down and saw that he was dressed like a student: "You can't come in without a reservation."

"I'm from the headquarters. Please report me."

Zhong Tingting gave Qing Diao her contact information, but unfortunately she was on the Penguin and there were no smartphones yet.

"People from headquarters? Okay-"

The security guard didn't embarrass him and quickly called him.

After a while, a secretary-like woman with a curvy figure came over, looked at Tang Qinghua, and agreed to let him in.

"Are you here from the headquarters to attend tonight's banquet?"

The woman asked Tang Qinghua: "The dinner will start in an hour. Minister Qing is in a meeting now. Please wait here for a moment. I am the secretary of Minister Qing. You can wait in the conference room for a while. I will take you with me later." past."

"OK, thanks."

Tang Qinghua, thank you.

Tang Qinghua was not as familiar with Youth Network as Feiniao Network. She only knew a few people who were first promoted by Zhong Tingting. But after she returned to Jiangcheng, these people were either brought to Jiangcheng or entrusted with important tasks. Tang Qinghua watched around After walking around, I really didn’t see anyone I knew.

He had to wait in the lounge.

Tang Qinghua is still very patient when he is away from home.

He found a corner in the lounge, took down a book from the bookshelf, and read it quietly.

But after waiting for more than an hour, no one came to call him. When he couldn't bear it anymore and walked out of the conference room, it was already past the off-duty time, and there were only a few people working overtime on the entire floor.

"Hello, are you guys off work?"

Tang Qinghua asked a woman.

"It's time to get off work? Who are you looking for?"

The woman looked at him doubtfully.

"Then do you have the phone number of Minister Qing or his secretary?"

Tang Qinghua asked depressedly.

"I have Secretary Liu's phone number."

After thinking for a while, the woman gave her a phone call.

Tang Qinghua called over, and it was the woman who received the call. When he heard that it was him who called, he remembered that he had forgotten the person.

"You go downstairs first, I'll have someone pick you up!"

Secretary Liu said while apologizing.

Tang Qinghua walked down from the office building. More than ten minutes later, a young man came running over and took him to the banquet point.

"Mr. Qing is very busy!"

Tang Qinghua didn't pay much attention and asked casually.

"Mr. Qing has a wide network of contacts. Since he accepted Xidu, he has been constantly developing new projects. First, he discussed cooperation with mp3 manufacturers, then with a music website, and now he is talking with professors from Shu University about the portal website... "

The young man said with some pride.

"What about the portal? Aren't you talking about the instant chat software?"

Tang Qinghua asked a little strangely.

"The chat software comes with the plan, and Qing always wanted to build a portal. Apart from Shengda, which relies entirely on games, the only Internet companies that really make money now are Yinet, Xinlang, and Penguin. These companies are all We have our own portal, so Mr. Qing also wants a portal that belongs to us."

"Then how do mp3 and music websites cooperate?"

Tang Qinghua couldn't help but ask again.

"You don't know, right? The local promoters of the Xidu branch need to return MP3s to students while promoting Youth Network. There is a commission for each MP3 promotion, and even promotion tasks are set. Everyone has to How many promotion tasks need to be completed per month, otherwise the bonus will be deducted."

"I don't know about the cooperation with the music website... But now, the income of our agency staff is [-]% or [-]% higher than before. This is all due to Minister Qing. When Manager Zhong was in Xidu, the company was too strapped. Now, Much better than before.”

"This is a good thing——"

Tang Qinghua nodded and smiled.

The two quickly arrived at the banquet place. In a five-star hotel, there were only two tables in total. One table was Minister Qing and several professors, and the other table was Secretary Liu and several professors' colleagues. The banquet had already begun. , Tang Qinghua sat down with the young man.

Over there, Minister Qing is discussing with several professors.

"Minister Qing, although it is difficult to create a portal website, it is not difficult for us. The key point is promotion. Look at the existing major portal websites, which one has not spent a huge amount of money on promotion." A professor talked eloquently .

"Actually, promotion is not as serious as what Teacher Lin said. The key is the channels and methods of promotion. As far as I know, there is now a website called a navigation website. It has no other influence but guides users to surf the Internet... As long as If you advertise more on navigation websites, promotion won’t be too difficult, but advertising costs money.”

"As far as I know, a recommendation spot on a navigation website costs tens of thousands or even 10,000+ per month, which is more expensive than the development cost of the website... But Youth.com is a big website, so it definitely won't care about this small amount of money."

Several professors are relatively young, the oldest is only in his forties, so they speak more casually.
