Reinventing the Millennium

"Brother Fang, isn't the page a bit rough like this?"

As the technical director, Zhou Xin had to put forward his own opinions.

"It can also be made exquisitely. The fonts, color matching, and spatial layout. Hey, I don't know much about these. You can just look at it." Fang Zhuo rubbed his chin and stared at the computer screen seriously.

Zhou Xin was in a bit of a dilemma. Recently, he had been working almost day and night in order to be worthy of the 1,500 yuan, and sometimes he would argue with Song Rong over this.

Seeing that the outline of the frame has been painstakingly produced, why do you still have to wear tattered clothes?

"Brother Fang, why don't you let Yu Hong take a look later? She also has a lot of opinions on the design style of the website." Zhou Xin felt that relying on his two technical staff might not be able to sway the boss's intention, so he pulled another A very handsome partner as an ally.

"You heard my name, what are you talking about?" Yu Hong walked out with a smile holding a spatula, "The ribs need to be stewed for a while, and the rice is already cooked. Hey, Xiaofang, are you used to eating rice?"

Fang Zhuo always felt that the image of Yu Hong wearing an apron and carrying a spatula was a bit inconsistent compared to the image of Yu Hong wearing a helmet on a motorcycle. He babbled: "Tell me about the style of this website at first glance."

Su Wei from the kitchen also came out and stood behind.

"Doesn't this look good? Because it's troublesome to contact you, Zhou Xin, Song Rong, and I have looked at all the famous domestic websites in school these days. This is the best we can imitate and improve." Yu Hong sighed proudly.

Fang Zhuo had to repeat what he had just said, and then carefully avoided the length of the spatula in Yu Hong's hand.

Yu Hong waved the spatula excitedly: "Hey, that's too ugly! There is no such ugly website in China!"

"As long as it works." Fang Zhuo gave an example, "Just like the one celebrating the holidays this year..."

He hesitated. Are there any ads for Melatonin now?

However, Su Wei continued directly and said: "No gifts will be accepted, only melatonin will be accepted as gifts."

Melatonin's advertisement was broadcast on CCTV in 1998 and has been running for two years now.

"Yes, this Melatonin advertisement is simple, straightforward, and extremely crude." Fang Zhuo smiled at Teacher Xiao Su, "For a small company like ours, the early marketing should have a similar feeling. Force users to accept us."

Yu Hong calmed down. For a marketing major, the melatonin ads that are so popular now that they have no friends are really a pain that cannot be avoided.

She thought for a while and suddenly realized that she had overlooked the biggest problem.

"Hey, wait, wait, Fang Zhuo, we don't charge money? Can we register for free?"

Yu Hong was so shocked that she stopped calling "Xiao Fang". She had always taken it for granted that she provided services and the person who registered paid money, otherwise why not just drink the northwest wind?

"Profitability is not considered at this stage."

Anyway, I can pay off the medical expenses first.

Fang Zhuo turned around and took a glass of water, took a few sips, and said, "The hospital doesn't charge for registration. How can we compete with the hospital if we charge money? It's hard to say."

Yu Hong pulled over the bench and sat down: "No, this saves us time and effort. What we save is cost. It's easy to calculate if the cost is less than the payment."

Su Wei suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when she heard this. Hey, hey, isn't this the logic behind Fang Zhuo's pathology report?

Yu Hong continued: "Besides, there is indeed a market for this, Fang Zhuo, you are confused! If it is not profitable, let alone the future, how will you maintain it in the early stage?"

"Rent, manpower, publicity and promotion...where do you come from with all this money?"

Fang Zhuo listened patiently and nodded: "What Xiao Yu said makes sense. There is a reason to earn this money."

Yu Hong breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the confused boss was a little persuaded.

Su Wei felt that it must not be that simple.

Sure enough, Fang Zhuo changed his mind and said, "But have you ever considered whether you can make this money?"

All faces were blank.

Su Wei, Yu Hong, Zhou Xin, and Song Rong all looked at Fang Zhuo's calm face.

Or Yu Hong said to the line: "What do you mean?"

“We don’t have one in China yet, but many large foreign companies often set up a department to study legal policies and hire expensive former officials and lawyers, with the purpose of avoiding policy risks.”

"What is registration? It is the entrance to medical treatment."

"Looking at the bigger picture, it has the attributes of a public medical infrastructure. Do you think the country will allow you to make this money with peace of mind?"

Fang Zhuo talked eloquently and looked at the "before" from the "back", very confidently.

Yu Hong was stunned and had never considered this aspect at all.

She murmured to herself: "I haven't heard of such a law..."

"That's because we haven't even come up with anything. The law may lag behind, but the regulations of the competent authorities are easy to issue. You can imagine if our plate is big, all aspects are set up, and the capital chain is running tight , suddenly came a rule not to charge..." Fang Zhuo described a certain possibility in the future.

Yu Hong imagined the scene, and soon shuddered. That was equivalent to the company's most important model being denied, and it was about to be wiped out!

"It's difficult for a ship to turn around, so now you have to know this and know the correct direction of our channel." Fang Zhuo said.

He didn't mean to intimidate at all. The state does not allow basic registration fees. As for the derived value-added services that depend on this, that is another matter.

Even if charging is used to create an established fact now in the early stages of the development of the Internet, it is likely to face various problems in the future, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Yu Hong was discouraged: "Then what are you planning..."

"Let there be no difficult number in the world." Fang Zhuo said with a smile.

"I'm not kidding you." Yu Hong said angrily.

"It's true." Fang Zhuo said seriously and lively, "Don't worry, we can't make money from users, but we can make money from acquisitions, ah no, venture capital."

"This year, such an innovative Internet company will definitely shine in people's eyes. Therefore, we will at least open up the market in Luzhou and even Anhui Province."

"I said there is no charge for registration. There are policy risks in charging, and venture capital investors don't know about it."

"If they ask, Boss Fang, why don't you charge? I will say that it is not time to charge yet, now it is to quickly expand the market."

"That makes sense."

"You may not be able to make big money, but there is still no problem with small money, the money that makes a person wealthy and free."

Fang Zhuo shrugged: "This is also a function of media exposure as I said before. We have to have movement to make people notice it. Do you understand?"

Yu Hong was still a little listless: "Where can I find venture capital for money from venture capital? Is it really possible?"

"Where's the whiteboard? Bring me the whiteboard. I'm going to give you a lesson worth a million dollars today."

Fang Zhuo said majestically in the gloomy atmosphere.
