Chapter 38: Time Friends

In November, Baidu's integration of resources such as Tieba was quite smooth. The market share has begun to stop falling and rebound. The most important thing now is the integration of the teams of the two sides, Wang Feng and many people in Baidu know each other, including Robin Lee, who also invited him back then, but unfortunately he did not agree. Now it's still Baidu, and it's more than most of my classmates and friends' Baidu shares, and I don't know what they think. But now with this relationship, the integration of the technical team is still very smooth.

The commercial promotion of Tieba has also improved, mainly display advertising and game information advertising. Major game companies are still willing to try, after all, the user activity of Tieba is still very good. However, the user growth rate of Tieba is much slower than in previous months.

The price of the courtyard house is also good, including the renovation and decoration of the courtyard, deed tax, and commission, a total of 5.5 million US dollars is needed! Looking at the current price of crude oil, Zhou Shi is relieved. Fortunately, Zhou Shi, who has earned it back and has achieved most of his goals, decided to sign the contract directly, and if he has money, he will use it, and in order to avoid the trouble of transferring, this transaction is directly traded in US dollars. It is said that for this, Zhou Shi was also given a lot of discounts, and after agreeing on the payment method, Zhou Shi signed his name. Zhou Shi, who is not ready to take a low-key route, or Zhou Shi, who can't take a low-key route now, is purchased in a private name.

Baidu's acquisition or merger, especially Zhou Shi's appointment as COO, has made everyone more and more hopeless about Baidu's rise. However, his interest in Zhou Shi was very great, and the small goal of 100 million a few months ago actually made him achieve it immediately. This wave of coquettish operations stunned the eyes of the melon-eating masses. Zhou Shi paste bar has become the most popular bar, and some people even posted a moving picture of praying to God and worshiping Buddha rather than worshipping Zhou Shi. Bai Zhou Shi passed the exam, and it was really popular for a while. All kinds of rumors about Zhou Shi's background have also come out, and all kinds of disbelief are endless. China's environment is really different from that of the United States, when the face comes out, everyone says that Xiao Za is a genius and is crazy to worship, and now with Zhou Shi, it is crazy to slander. Or that the reputation is mixed, after all, there are still many people who praise Zhou Shi.

Except for Su Yunan, few people stayed on Time.com. Fortunately, Peking University Science and Technology Park has their base here, and the maintenance of Time.com is not complicated, and there is no problem with the help of current Baidu employees for the time being. Wang Xin finally agreed to meet with Zhou Shi, and now Wang Xin should have failed a few times in social products, but he doesn't know if he can be co-opted. However, Zhou Shi seems to have a relationship with the surname Wang, and so far the three important characters have actually been surnamed Wang.

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

The two looked at each other, Zhou Shi was indeed very interested in Wang Xin, such a future boss looked particularly immature now. On the outside, he doesn't look much more mature than the current Zhou Shi. But considering his behavior in the next few years, it should be possible.

"I heard that the six-dimensional space theory is very popular in the United States, and you have been doing the SNS community, but it has not been very successful, but the technical ability is very good, and now I have an idea, but I can't implement it myself, so I want to ask you for help" Zhou Shi is not nonsense.

"You're not in Baidu, Baidu's talents are much better than me, why are you looking for me" Wang Xin

"Baidu has Baidu things, a person can have countless interests, but a business needs to be single-minded, I think a company has its own clear goals and missions, is the key to his success and greatness. Zhou Shi said his understanding

"What are you going to do?" Wang Xin asked directly

"I'm going to set up a real-name community website. Starting with college students and white-collar workers, gradually attract user participation. ”

"What's the use of that? I don't think this has a future. "Wang Xin

"Damn, you hit the street, can this be useless, Facebook is developed like this. "Zhou Shi really wants to scold him like this, do you only know about reference now?

"I don't think I need to explain the progressive significance of real-name socialization, right?" Zhou Shi had to guide his thinking step by step to move closer to himself.

"How does the real-name system attract users to participate, and who wants to be so troublesome?" Wang Xin

"The real-name system is troublesome at first, and then it is simple, and in the long run, it reduces everyone's social costs. And meeting friends through acquaintances is originally our way of making friends in reality. ”

"How to attract users?" Wang Xin emphasized again

"I said that I started from university, starting with Tsinghua University and Peking University. ”

"Why?"

"You said that this time the documents of the National Housing Institute came out, how much room does the campus BBS have?"

"What does this have to do with social networking sites?"

"It doesn't matter, but there will be a large number of users who will migrate from the campus network to the public network. ”

“……”

"Let's not talk about this first, each of us has social needs, and we all want to know what the situation of our former classmates and friends is now, such as classmates who have a crush in high school! After a long time, we may not have any way to know their contact information, so we have our social networking site, but we are not doing classmates, we are doing social networking. ”

"What you said seems to have some truth, but let me think about it again" Zhou Shi said this time without much logic, and Wang Xin was difficult to understand for a while.

"I kind of get what you're thinking, and I think I can give it a try now. "Wang Xin

Damn, this understands! What do you understand? Zhou Shi himself didn't understand. But no matter what, continue to flicker: "Then I officially invite you to join the Time Friends Project, how about it?"

"We still have our own projects to do," Wang Xin still refuses

"What's so good about your project, otherwise, I will compensate each of you for 100,000 yuan for several major technicians, and you will join Time Company. ”

"I have to think again. "Wang Xin

"What else is there to think about, otherwise, after two years, if you think that the project is walking, or if the project fails in two years, you are free to leave. There should be no problem this time!" Zhou Shi increased his stakes again

"Okay! I promise you, but I'll ask them what they think. ”

Hey, it's finally done, and I don't know if it's going to be useful in the end. The $500 billion market capitalization giant seems to have only started to set sail this year, but unfortunately there is no channel for investment, otherwise the yield would be too great.

There is not much money in the account of Time Company, and although it does not cost much money at the beginning of the Time Friends project, it still has to prepare a lot of money. This time, Zhou Shi is going to let Galaxy Investment come out and use venture capital to invest in Time.com. In the future, I have to find a way to push Galaxy Investment down the front desk, no matter at home or abroad, there must be a shell, and now there are more and more things, Zhou Shi often feels that there is not enough time, how to find a way to free himself from these cumbersome things.
