Chapter 189
During the Olympic Games, gold medals and championships can be said to be topics of concern to the whole people, and they are top-notch.
Even ordinary people who don’t care about sports will take a few glances at what gold medals Chinese athletes have won and what world records they have broken.
Relevant topics can be heard everywhere on the streets, on the bus tracks, and in the cubicles of office buildings.
In addition to newspapers and TV, people are also talking about the Olympic Games on the Internet.
All websites are jealous of the traffic brought by such top-notch topics, but except for portal websites that can get a share of the traffic through news information, most of them are taken away by campus networks.
The campus network not only held a lottery, but also gave away things, which was quite generous.
What’s more important is that the campus network is an official partner. They can invite Olympic champions to register on the website and interact with other users through the network.
The two-pronged approach brought explosive growth in traffic. In just a few days, the number of registered users on the campus network exceeded 8 million, approaching the 10 million mark.
And the quality of users is quite high, with millions of active online users.
The campus network has become the most famous website on the Internet and has attracted more and more people's attention.
......
In the CEO office of Campus Network, the boss Qin Shaoyan and several senior executives gathered together and looked at the computer monitor with solemn expressions.
"Zhang Tianshi." Qin Shaoyan looked at Zhang Pingyi expressionlessly and pointed at the winning list that was constantly scrolling on the screen.
“Can you explain to me what’s going on?”
Zhang Pingyi showed an awkward smile, rubbed his hands nervously, and defended: "I did the functions according to the rules you gave me. I also asked the test team to test it several times. There should be no problems." < br>
“Then why are the winners all from our company?” Qin Shaoyan’s eyes widened, “Didn’t I say, we are going to have a real lottery this time.”
“This is true. !" Zhang Pingyi quickly explained, "I did it according to the real lottery and pseudo-randomness."
"Check the code for me immediately!" Qin Shaoyan was speechless, "Those who don't know think we are doing a shady lottery. Ah! The prizes are all given to our own people.”
“It’s really a shady thing, even if it’s hidden, not only does one of my own win the prize, but it’s also announced to the whole site!”
"Bah, disgusting!"
Chen Guangxia raised his hand cautiously and said: "Mr. Qin, the problem may lie in the rules."
"What are you talking about?!" Qin Shaoyan said dissatisfied , "You mean I made a mistake in writing the rules?"
Senior Brother Chen, you are very brave, you put the blame on the boss.
"No, no, no!" Chen Guangxia said quickly, "It's not your fault, it's my fault. I said let old users have a higher chance of winning."
"As a result, when doing the function, the earlier the registration time, the more active users, and the greater the probability of winning."
"..." Qin Shaoyan finally realized what the problem was, and said with a dark face, "Hurry up Add a block list, include all company employees, and stop making mistakes like this."
"Take the winning announcement immediately and add another notification."
" If there is a bug in one round of lottery, the prizes for other users will be distributed as usual, and everyone will be compensated for an extra lottery.”
Zhang Pingyi and Chen Guangxia immediately went back to change the function and urgently updated to fix the rule bug before anyone discovered it.
This little episode is innocuous. After all, the campus network is really giving away things to users through lottery this time, and there are many lottery draws.
Soon after another round of winning users were born, the first winning announcement was buried in a corner. Except for the winners, everyone forgot about it.
In popular squares on the campus network, people are constantly posting their winning records.
From computers, mobile phones, MP3s to clothing, books, shoes, and Jingdong Mall coupons, the content is diverse and diverse, and everyone is very happy to draw the lottery.
Looking at the campus network showing a scene of vigorous vitality and all things competing, Xiong Xiaoge couldn’t sit still.
If the campus network continues like this, it will really take off, and its valuation will definitely rise. With Qin Shaoyan's personality, there might be another temporary price increase.
I am worried about Qin Shaoyan's long nights and many dreams. The key is that Qin Shaoyan is not anxious at all.
He came to the campus network again, and smiled as soon as he entered the office, "Congratulations, Mr. Qin, the campus network has been so prosperous recently."
"Mr. Xiong, why are you here?" Qin Shaoyan smiled and said enthusiastically, "What a rare visitor. Do you have anything particularly important?"
"If nothing happens, can I not come?" Xiong Xiaoge coughed, "I am a shareholder of the campus network. The campus network has been doing well recently. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Qin."
"No hard work." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand. , "You have to be responsible for the investors."
"Then what is Mr. Qin planning to do next?" Xiong Xiaoge asked.
"No action." Qin Shaoyan spread his hands, "We are preparing for bankruptcy and liquidation."
"..." Xiong Xiaoge looked at Qin Shaoyan speechlessly, "Qin Shaoyan, do you mean what you say?"
"Is there anything wrong with what I said?" Qin Shaoyan asked, "The company has no money. What else can we do without going bankrupt?"
"You say no money." Xiong Xiaoge scolded angrily.
"I've said it before, but Mr. Xiong, you won't pay me." Qin Shaoyan said confidently.
Xiong Xiaoge pondered for a few seconds, "I can agree to your valuation of 5 billion."
"There is also 20 billion for Series C." Qin Shaoyan added.
"Qin Shaoyan, what are you going to do?!" Xiong Xiaoge was furious, "There is no entrepreneur in the entire Chinese Internet who is more outrageous than you."
"I have tolerated your Series B valuation of 5 billion, How did you calculate the valuation of 20 billion for the C round?"
"Don't go too far!"
Qin Shaoyan said very calmly, "I can claim 20 billion. "The truth."
"Then tell me the truth about this 20 billion today?" Xiong Xiaoge said with a straight face, "As long as you can convince me, I will agree to it now."
"Next year will be a critical period for the campus network to really take off." Qin Shaoyan said lightly, "tens of millions of users, growing e-commerce business, and newly launched VIP value-added services."
"In addition, college students The station will be fully promoted and the online and offline business models will be fully integrated. "
"The most important point is that the campus network will build an online game operation platform next year."
"In the C round, The annual profit of the campus network will reach 500 million RMB.”
Xiong Xiaoge was shocked, “500 million?”
"Yes, the annual profit will reach 500 million." Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "This is just a conservative estimate. I can do more."
This is impossible!
Xiong Xiaoge's first thought was that Qin Shaoyan was making nonsense again.
Although the campus network is developing very rapidly, like a rocket, and Qin Shaoyan has expanded business models such as e-commerce.
But to say that the profit of the campus network reached 500 million in 2006 is simply a fantasy.
In this early stage of the development of the Internet, how Internet companies make profits is a huge problem.
In addition to several portal websites relying on advertising and value-added services, other websites are still struggling to find their own ways to make profits.
Qin Shaoyan confidently told Xiong Xiaoge that he could make the website's profit reach 500 million within two years.
