Chapter 127 Promotion
It's good to have an interest. Ye Dongqing didn't plan to let Zhao Liuli eat this bowl of rice in the future. It all depends on her own hobbies.
There are not many assets at the moment, but considering the growth space of these stocks, shares and startups in his hands, it seems terrible. If nothing unexpected happens, a surge in value will occur in two or three years. The Internet bubble crisis in the past two years has passed the trough and is gradually ushering in a correction.
Look at Facebook again.
He has never tried to start a business in the Internet field before, but it can be seen that the company's current development speed is not good.
In about half a month, the number of registered users has increased by only more than 4,200. Most of them stopped opening after registering, as if they had forgotten it, and encountered difficulties in promotion. In fact, Ye Dongqing himself also used it and thought the experience was OK. He already had the core selling point of Facebook used in his previous life - sharing of pictures and texts.
After redesigning last week, the page became beautiful, but the number of users is still not large, and some users are losing. Yesterday, the number of logins was only more than 600.
He rushed over early in the morning and Facebook director Mr. Alfred House was reporting on his work at this moment and told Ye Dongqing: "The biggest problem now is the lack of promotion and no new users are coming in, so the user churn will be obvious.
In fact, many users like it, but someone took a very good picture or wrote a big mood, but no one commented on it. Seeing what they wrote, this would definitely not work. After one time, users will choose to give up our products, so they must increase the number of users as soon as possible to form a virtuous cycle.”
Under the premise that the program is pretty good, this problem has become the fatal flaw.
Ye Dongqing knew that he also wanted to spend a lot of money to let more people know about the products developed by his company. However, the problem is... if you don't have money, most of the money you can use is invested in the futures and stock markets. He felt that it was more necessary to invest there now.
Facebook is also a focus of concern, telling Mr. Alfred: "I understand what you mean. Now that schools are still on spring break, you can organize some employees to leave messages in forums in universities and middle schools, and you can also contact the forum administrators and ask how much it costs to advertise in those popular related forums."
"These are very good. It's time to invest more money to promote it. If our products are not good, I certainly wouldn't suggest this, but I think it's great and worth your careful management." Mr. Alfred asked, "Then will I arrange someone to try it now?"
"Yes, as long as it works, no matter how much it costs."
In Ye Dongqing's view, once it is done in the early stage, through word-of-mouth transmission between users, the user scale will definitely grow rapidly.
If it is Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, Internet companies that have developed, they can convert existing users into users of another program through the resources they have. He also suggested Tencent's chief operating officer some time ago. However, the problem before him is that Ye Dongqing does not have those resources in his hands and can only accumulate from scratch.
After Mr. Alfred left the office, he leaned on his chair and wondered how much it would cost to "steal" users from other Internet companies, such as hanging Facebook's name on Google search pages, or selling it as a free product in the Amazon mall.
I am short of money recently and there is no need to contact me yet. I am going to try it out then...
There is no need for Facebook to worry too much. Even if you want to worry, you don’t have a chance. You can’t learn programming by yourself. You just need to grasp the general direction and do a good job of promotion.
I was busy with the Tamsui Fund some time ago, and I was a little relaxed in promotion. I was about to spend money to do promotion and cultivate the scale of the user group.
Maybe it was stimulated by the compensation. Since he broke up, Ye Dongqing's aunt did not look for him again. Teacher Nash called him and communicated with him about giving a speech at the school graduation ceremony in June next year, and giving a speech as a graduate representative.
Actually, I don’t really want to go there. The main reason is that graduating from this public middle school is not an amazing achievement. However, he still agreed and said that he would communicate with me later.
There are still a few months left before the registration season for the university. You can go to school to experience it and get a degree of gold. However, he does not plan to stay in school for a long time, nor does he feel that he will have the patience to stay in school all day. It is difficult for ordinary people to get a degree if they don’t want to go to school, but Ye Dongqing is different. He has money...
***************************
Laura's community service punishment has just passed halfway, and there is no requirement to be completed during her sentence. Recently, she has begun to live a decadent life. In addition to going to work, she is lying down in a new house to watch TV, and is determined to watch the complete episode of "Friends" before the end of her sentence.
It’s not just Ye Dongqing who is in trouble, but her family is not happy either.
Laura's mother, who was addicted to alcohol all day, finally found out that she was missing. She actually went to the police station to call the police and said that her daughter was missing. Fortunately, there was a record in the archives. The police told her mother the registered address, which was the new apartment in Puchuan Building that had just been purchased.
The mother and daughter met last week, and Ye Dongqing didn't know what they said. Anyway, Laura was in a bad mood recently. She stopped doing yoga, fell in love with ice cream, and was not attentive to cook, which was completely different from her previous attitude of trying hard to learn cooking.
You can probably understand her mood. Ye Dongqing also experienced a decadent adolescence, which happened a few months after his parents passed away. She didn't think Laura was happier than herself. At least he could say with certainty that his parents loved him very much before his death. Laura seemed to be abandoned, and it was better not to have it.
This made him feel uncomfortable and felt sorry for Laura.
To put it carefully, Ye Dongqing is definitely not a good person's personality. For example, buying crude oil futures in the last time he bought all his positions was an extremely irresponsible approach to investors. He felt that no one in this world really cared about him anymore. Over time, he developed this personality and lived a delicate egoist.
There is not much emotion between her and Laura. If this girl suddenly said that she was in love one day, Ye Dongqing would probably be unhappy for a while, and then she would feel relieved. After all, she had no promises and could not be involved in a lifetime.
In recent days, he has really cared about Laura. The reason is similar to when he took care of Zhao Liuli back then. He can always see his own shadow, so he has the idea of helping him.
When I got home from Facebook, I bought several buckets of ice cream of various flavors on the way, so that when Laura saw it, she couldn't help but show an indescribable strange look, which was probably a bit of a secret joy.
She told: "It seems that you are not as mean as I thought. I thought there is only SE·X between you and me. Thank you for your kindness. Unfortunately, I have a stomachache these days and I don't want to eat it yet."
Ye Dongqing refused to comment and changed the topic and said, "Then put it in the refrigerator. My fish hasn't arrived yet?"
"Someone is completing the set in your study and the fish in this fish tank. They said it is best to wait for a few days to change the water before sending it here. I don't know the details, so you can ask yourself."
Laura walked towards the kitchen with a paper bag. They had just officially moved in yesterday. The large tank that was about to raise a dragon fish had been completed, and the large cylindrical fish tank in the study was about to be completed.
After raising this kind of fish, Ye Dongqing knew that they would die if the water quality was not good in the early stage. After going to his study to communicate with the aquarium staff, he then lay on the sofa and was unwilling to move.
He was a little bored recently, mainly because the company didn't have so many things to deal with, so he gradually started to get on the right track.
The young body contains an overly mature soul. Whether you want to admit it or not, at this age, life is indeed not as interesting as it was when it was young...
