Chapter 174 Even if this money is wasted, will it affect our lives?

Inside the company a few days later.

"Mr. Huang, the current situation is like this. After the number of users reached 4.5 million, the growth rate has become very slow."

"Really? Do you have any good suggestions?"

Huang Xu sat behind the desk and looked at Park Xishun standing in front of him, wanting to hear his thoughts.

Of course, this doesn't mean that he doesn't have a solution, but he just wants to hear some of Park Heesun's ideas and see what his abilities are like.

As a boss, the biggest problem Huang Xu faces now is that there is no one.

He now doesn't have enough manpower to help him solve the problem.

Therefore, Huang Xu wanted to examine Park Heesun's ability to see if he had potential as the company's general manager candidate.

"Mr. Huang, I think the number of users of the software has reached a certain level now. It is very difficult to continue to grow. Can we consider making profits?"

"Okay, do you have any good suggestions?"

When Huang Xu heard his answer, he had actually sentenced him to death.

After all, I told him before that the company will not consider profitability at present. The first priority is to expand the number of users. Profit is something that needs to be considered later.

However, he did not express his thoughts, but patiently waited for Park Heesun's suggestion, preparing to give him another chance.

What if he could come up with a better way?

But then he was disappointed.

"Mr. Huang, we can take advantage of the next version update to charge for it, or we can limit some functions so that only those paying users can experience the completed functions."

"Okay, let me think about it before we talk."

Huang Xu patiently listened to Park Xishun's words and did not express any opinion on his suggestion, but let him leave.

Finally, looking at his leaving figure, I felt a little emotional that talents are rare.

It's not that his ability is not good, but that he can only be responsible for some technical aspects. It is quite good to take on a position such as technical director.

But we can't blame him. It can only be said that people's vision is limited nowadays and they can't see clearly the future development trend.

Although Huang Xu did not work on the Internet in his previous life, he was still able to understand some common sense in those environments.

"Users are wealth."

Yes, these six words have become common knowledge among all Internet people after a few years, but not many people still agree with them.

And Park Hee-soon's proposal just now is actually not that bad. It is also the consensus of most Internet people now, that is, to make money through fees.

But Huang Xu, who has memories and experiences from his previous life, has a very clear understanding that free is the way to go.

Therefore, Huang Xu directly rejected his proposal. After all, Huang Xu had already made a plan on how to make a profit.

And the most important thing is that it's not time yet, the primary goal now is to increase the number of users as much as possible.

It's best to take advantage of the fact that not many people are paying attention to this market and expand aggressively so that similar types of software have no way to survive.

But one of the most important issues now is South Korea's population problem.

As South Korea has a population of only more than 40 million, their current number of more than 4 million users basically includes the vast majority of users who own smartphones, and has reached the current limit.

After all, it is only 2013, and there are still a few years left before the explosion of smartphones in future generations.

Moreover, South Korea is not as prosperous as the domestic smartphone market.

Therefore, there are actually not many people using smartphones in South Korea now. The number of users they can have now has exceeded Huang Xu's expectations.

But it was precisely because of this that Huang Xu's mind became alive.

"Can this software be extended to China?"

After all, when it comes to population and market, South Korea cannot compare with China.

Even if it weren't for his special status, the market in South Korea is not as big as that of many provinces and cities in China.

Huang Xu didn't have this idea before.

But now Huang Xu has some different ideas. He wants to give it a try and see if he can promote this software to China.

If it really succeeds, then he may even be able to guarantee his future life by relying on this software, whether it is sold or self-operated.

Therefore, after Huang Xu came up with this idea, he began to make calculations.

"Well, the first thing is, where is Meiyou in her previous life now?"

"If we start promoting it, is there any chance to acquire it?"

"Secondly, if there is no promotion, can we start in advance?"

"There is also the issue of promotion, now."

Just when Huang Xu was thinking about how to promote it in his notebook, his uncle Huang Wenfu knocked on the door and walked in.

"Xiao Xu, are you busy?"

"It's okay, uncle, just dealing with a small matter."

After Huang Xu saw Huang Wenfu, he quickly stood up to greet him, then took him to the tea table and started boiling water to make tea.

Then he looked at Huang Wenfu curiously.

"Uncle, why are you back so early? Shouldn't you stay with aunt for a few more days?"

Part of the reason why he has been so busy these days is actually because of Huang Wenfu.

Therefore, after Huang Xu saw his aunt coming to South Korea, he asked his uncle to take his aunt out for a walk.

After all, it was her first time coming to South Korea, so she wanted to experience the local customs.

And although uncle Huang Wenfu has been in Korea for several years, he actually doesn't know much about Korea. He basically spends his daily life around restaurants.

Therefore, Huang Xu also wanted him to have a good rest, spend time with his aunt, and also experience the customs and customs of Korea.

"Well, it's good to have such a long break."

Huang Wenfu looked at Huang Xu, and the smile on his face never broke. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with his travels and vacations these days.

Of course, this may also have something to do with Li Qiuyue's arrival.

So in the next few minutes, he focused on introducing some of his experiences in the past few days, and then explained the purpose of coming to Huang Xu today.

"Xiao Xu, your aunt said that she is going to invite you and your girlfriend to have a meal together. What time do you think is suitable?"

"Oh, uncle, it's up to me, a junior, to treat you to dinner."

When Huang Xu heard his uncle's invitation, he quickly declined and told his situation.

In fact, when his aunt first arrived, Huang Xu wanted to treat his aunt to a meal, but Huang Wenfu refused.

According to him, he was an uncle, so how could he let a junior treat him?

And there was another important thing, that is, he wanted to spend time with his wife, so the welcome dinner was postponed for a few days.

But what he didn't expect was that so many days would pass after this push.

So after coming back today, he went directly to Huang Xu and sent an invitation to the dinner. Seeing his uncle's resolute attitude, Huang Xu no longer refused, but made sure to take his girlfriend to the banquet on time tomorrow night.

Then I started to report to my uncle what happened in the past few days when he was away.

Although Huang Xu is the big boss of this company, in daily work, Huang Wenfu is actually the real manager.

Of course, Huang Xu can be so leisurely and unrestrained on weekdays precisely because of Huang Wenfu's hard work.

Therefore, after Huang Xu saw his uncle coming back, he quickly handed over everything he had on hand to Huang Wenfu so that he could have an impression.

Otherwise, if I leave for more than ten days at a time, some things will not be easy to deal with when I return to the company.

Everything went smoothly in the previous explanation, but later on, when Huang Xu said that his company's software now has more than four million users, he was still a little unbelievable.

Taking the document that Huang Xu had just handed over, he checked the numbers on it again and again, and looked at Huang Xu with disbelief.

"That software you created is now used by four million people?"

"Yes, isn't it written very clearly above?"

"I know, the question is how could it be so fast? How many days has it been?"

Huang Wenfu looked at Huang Xu's calm expression, and his defense was slightly broken at this time.

Although he doesn't know much about the Internet, he also knows that the number of more than three million users is actually a very exaggerated number.

And the most important thing is that this software has only been released a few days ago.

How did it reach this number so quickly?

Moreover, Huang Xu also reported just now that Huang Xu did not do anything else except provide some money and let charity organizations conduct some offline promotions.

Even the methods they used before such as celebrity promotion and creating hot topics have not been used.

That's why it's such a shock.

Huang Xu looked at his uncle's shocked expression, feeling a little proud in his heart.

After all, this number does have a certain relationship with his promotion method.

So he began to explain.

"Uncle, this is actually easy to understand. It can reach this scale mainly because the software meets the needs of users, and there are no similar substitutes on the market."

Yes, the reason why this software can expand so fast is because there is demand for this type of software in the market and there are no substitutes.

And whether in South Korea or China, smartphones are still a new gadget.

The concept of smartphones actually developed very early. It first appeared in 1993 and evolved from handheld computers.

However, because many technologies were not very mature at the time, development was relatively slow.

It was not until 3G technology matured that it gradually gained a certain market.

But what really made it take off was when Qiao Gangzhu released the first generation of fruit machines in 2007, which was the first time it took off.

However, due to the lack of software and mediocre performance, it was not until the release of the fourth generation of Fruit in 2010 that it truly entered the eyes of the public.

However, due to its high price, smartphones are only popular among some high-income people, and there are not many life-oriented software.

It was not until last year that the emergence of the Android system and the addition of many smartphone manufacturers made smart devices truly accessible to the masses.

As for the software Meiyou, it is because there are no similar substitutes on the market, and this software is very important for women.

This allowed Meiyou to form a phenomenon of human-to-human transmission in the past ten days and reach the current level after preliminary publicity.

After Huang Xu's explanation, Huang Wenfu finally understood why Meiyou had reached the current level in such a short period of time.

But as he got closer, he frowned and looked at Huang Xu with some confusion.

"So Xiaoxu, how can such software be profitable?"

"Hey, uncle, there is no way to make a profit on this software now, and it may be difficult for this software to make a profit in the future."

"Why?"

The confusion on Huang Wenfu's face became even heavier, and he obviously did not understand Huang Xu's thoughts.

If it's not profitable, then what's the point of making this software?

And it cost so much.

You must know that although Huang Xu only promotes through charity organizations, it does not mean that Huang Xu spends no money or spends less money.

You must know that Huang Xu spent a lot of money to convince these charitable organizations.

First of all, they donated 100 million won to get them to agree to promote it. Secondly, they spent 300 million won on custom-made sanitary napkins and other female physiological products.

In total, Huang Xu’s promotion cost nearly 400 million won.

This is 400 million.

Although the Korean won is not valuable, even if converted into Chinese currency, it is more than two million.

If they hadn't made a fortune from chain stores now, then more than two million would have required him to work for nearly ten years to achieve the income.

Even in their hometown, more than two million can be said to be something that many people will never earn in their lifetime.

That's why I obviously don't quite understand Huang Xu's actions at this time.

Huang Xu looked at his uncle's questions and did not hide them. Instead, he patiently explained some of his thoughts.

"Uncle, what I said is that we won't make money because the conditions are not mature now. I didn't say that we won't make money in the future?"

“Do you know Taobao in China?”

"If we later turn this software into Taobao for women, with so many female users, even if we only sell sanitary products to them, how much profit will there be."

"And this is just the beginning. When the market matures later, whether we sell clothes or beauty products on the software, it will be a broad market."

"."

"The most important thing is that as long as we have so many female users in our hands, no matter what we do, we will easily succeed."

"Will this work?"

After listening to Huang Xu's explanation, Huang Wenfu suddenly realized that his brain was a little exhausted. It took him a long time to wake up, but he was obviously not confident.

"Is it possible?"

Huang Xu looked at Huang Wenfu's unconfident expression, but now he was excited.

"Uncle, actually this is just an attempt. Even if it doesn't work, so what?"

"Even if this little money is wasted, will it affect our lives?"
