Liu Yun looked at Wu Di, the director of the marketing department, and said: "Have you been in touch with NetEase, how are you talking, and is the other party willing to bear the advertising fee." ”

Three questions in a row were thrown directly at Wu Di, making him stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, and said: "I contacted, but there was no clear answer from there, and I said that we would have a meeting to discuss it when the time came." ”

The corners of Liu Yun's mouth showed a playful smile, and said: "There are two possibilities for the other party to say this, one is that the matter of advertising costs will really be discussed at the meeting, and the other is to play Tai Chi, using delaying tactics." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly found that there were 8 people sitting at the oval conference table, only the table in front of him was empty except for a cup of tea, and those managers had a notebook and a black pen in front of them.

No matter how thick Liu Yun's face was, under this situation, he couldn't help but show a trace of an embarrassed smile on his face.

Liu Yueru's reaction was extremely fast, she glanced at her assistant, and whispered, "Go to that notebook and get a black pen." ”

Her assistant had just graduated from college, but she was quite agile and returned to the office with her belongings not long after. Liu Yun could only bite the bullet and take the thing under the gaze of everyone, and said "Thank you!" He could feel a little hot in his face.

Liu Yun didn't notice Liu Yueru's assistant, a girl who had just graduated, was also having a bitter face at the moment, looking aggrieved. She felt that it was her responsibility not to prepare a notebook and pen for her boss.

Chen Di, the director of the marketing department, picked up Liu Yun's words just now and said, "In my experience, both are possible. We'll know the results next week. ”

Liu Yun nodded, but did not speak. He flipped through his brand new notebook and wrote two sentences on the page.

1. The Baidu usage rate of hao123 netizens is 73%.

2. NetEase did not give a clear answer to hao123's advertising recommendation fee.

Today, Yoyo Network under Liu Yun is no longer a small company, but it is still very small compared to giants listed on the NASDAQ such as NetEase.

After he finished taking notes, he glanced at everyone and said, "I'll assume that if Sohu acquires hao123, and then uses this as a condition to find NetEase, the other party will most likely agree." And Yoyo Network, in their eyes, is just a child who is still immature, and it is difficult for them to look at it with equal eyes, so this matter will probably not come to fruition. ”

Chen Di seemed to want to say something, but Liu Yun stretched out his hand and motioned for him to finish his words first.

"Regardless of whether NetEase will agree to pay for advertising, I still set the price here, and the link promotion of hao123 at the top of the center will be guaranteed at 4 million yuan a year, and you can negotiate 5 million yuan when you make a bid. ”

"So high!" Chen Di frowned, he felt that NetEase was very reluctant to pay for advertising, and the boss even drove it so high, he even suspected that he hung up the phone directly as soon as he heard the offer.

Liu Shihua also showed a trace of puzzlement, and said: "Mr. Liu, I remember that Alibaba's Taobao promotion fee is only 3 million yuan a year, how did NetEase increase so much at once." ”

"Alibaba is a partner of our Youyou Network, and their Mr. Ma is the senior brother of our Director Liu. Liu Yun said with a smile.

Liu Yueru glanced at Liu Yun with a little deep meaning, she always felt that this cousin was not telling the truth. Perhaps he wanted to use this offer to show favor to Alibaba.

"We only collected 3 million a year from Alibaba, and 4 million from NetEase. ”

Although Ma Yun has a lot of popularity in Jiangnan Province, he can only be regarded as a fledgling newcomer rich man in the whole country. And NetEase's Ding Lei has just won the richest man in mainland China in 2003, and the fame between the two is really a lot worse.

"Show favor to Ma Yun, and offend Ding Lei, I don't know what kind of medicine this cousin sells in the gourd. Liu Yueru couldn't help but think in her heart.

Liu Shihua said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "If NetEase is really unwilling to pay for advertising, are we really going to take down their web links? This Ding Lei is the richest man in mainland China!"

His meaning is obvious, it is best not to offend NetEase.

"Before December 31 this year, NetEase's link has been hanging up, and it has been free for them for more than a month, and I don't care about these days. I have my own arrangements for the follow-up. Liu Yun replied directly.

After listening to Liu Yun's words, Liu Shihua looked at him a few times with some complications, and secretly said whether this young man is like this when he starts a business, his blood is strong, and his temper is even willing to be the enemy of the whole world.

Liu Yun didn't care about the technical director's thoughts, he continued: "The four major portals Tencent is the latest to be established, and the traffic is currently the lowest, so we can start from here. ”

Could it be that the young boss has hit Tencent with the idea of advertising money again?

In December 2003, the number of registered QQ users of Tencent has exceeded 200 million, and the number of online users has just exceeded 5 million, accumulating a huge user base. Today's Tencent is not the penguin empire that has built a huge ecosystem more than ten years later, and there are only three industries in their hands: Tencent.com, QQ, and QQ games.

Tencent.com's traffic is the lowest among the four major portals, and it is still a debatable topic whether it can even be called the fourth largest portal, after all, in addition to Sina, Sohu, NetEase, there are also TOM, Yahoo China and other well-known portals with a lot of traffic.

At the beginning, Liu Yun put the link of Tencent.com at the top of hao123, and put it together with Sina, Sohu, and NetEase, and there was no charge, Liu Shihua and Chen Di both had some incomprehension, but Liu Yun had absolute control over hao123, and even if these people had objections, it was not easy to raise them in person.

"Tencent's current revenue source is mainly through value-added services generated by QQ, a chat software, and also includes QQ Games, a casual game community platform. My idea is not to ask them for advertising fees, but to exchange resources. We can continue to put the link to Tencent.com in the first line, and their QQ chat software should also put the link to our company's Youyou.com and hao123. Liu Yun thought for a while and said.

"In the past month or so, we at hao123 have put the link to Tencent.com at the top of the navigation page for free without any communication with them, and the number of visitors to their website must have increased significantly. We've done that we've done that, and it's time to get in touch with Tencent's top management. ”

While taking notes, Liu Yun set his eyes on Liu Yueru and said, "Director Liu, you can personally inquire about this matter, if it is Mr. Ma Huateng who comes forward from Tencent, I can also take a time to meet with him." ”

"We only talk about cooperation with Tencent, not about money. He added.
