Chapter 229: Tony Statham
With the injection of 25 million US dollars, 67.com has begun to make some internal corrections while conquering the city.
The version is constantly being upgraded, and the first thing is, of course, the online banking payment channel.
This is the biggest feature of 67.com that distinguishes it from the current domestic grassroots websites.
At a time when many websites are still struggling to find profit points, 67.com has not only made a profit, but also developed its own payment channel, which has distanced itself.
The second one is about the message board.
As the largest lifestyle website in China, 67.com has more than 15,000 posts per day and 780,000 follow-ups, which is very popular.
But because of this, as a professional portal information distribution site, it feels very awkward to keep this message board.
But it's a little reluctant to cut it like this.
After much consideration, this section was removed and made a separate [Xinghai Forum]. In terms of popularity, because of the hyperlink placed at the bottom of 67.com, it has not been affected at all, and even because the revised section is more beautiful, it has been greatly improved.
Finally, one of the biggest highlights after the version upgrade, 67.com took the lead in launching a membership system.
As long as the interview is confirmed, 67.com will issue an internal invitation code to the member user, and then send the relevant information to the company, and wait until the day of the interview, the interviewer will go directly to the company for an interview.
This not only reduces the workload of 67.com, but also greatly improves the efficiency of interviews.
This is mainly for high-level employees, and ordinary operators still need to register in offline physical stores.
According to the membership level, there are quarterly memberships, semi-annual systems, and one-year systems.
The price is 68 yuan, 128 yuan, 216 yuan.
By the end of November, the number of registered members of 67.com had reached 3,000.
This is a small step in the membership system, but it is a big step in online payment.
……
In the Business School of Finance and Economics, Guan Qiu has been thinking about whether to buy Foxmail while studying.
Now it's no longer a problem to buy Foxmail, how to develop is the key.
First of all, before the mobile Internet was popularized, this thing was still very chicken, and the real value was Zhang Xiaolong.
After joining Foxmail, he was fully responsible for and led the construction of the QQ Mail team, which laid a solid foundation for the rise of Foxmail.
On the other hand, I bought Yahoo Mail that year, but I didn't pay attention to it, and a large number of talents were lost, which led to a strategic mistake. Although Ali Wangwang was launched in 2009, the general trend has gone.
These anecdotes in his previous life were constantly pushed, and it was difficult for him to think about it.
The problem at the moment is that he doesn't have an email address for Zhang Xiaolong to do, so it's impossible to open another email business, right?
Another problem is that the mailbox business is the accumulation of technology, and what really makes Foxmail rise quickly is QQ.
Foxmail quickly stood out after having a huge user base of QQ, otherwise it would have drowned in the wave of "Mi Talk", "Yixin" and "Contact" in its previous life.
So a huge user platform is needed!
Where did he come from?
Thinking of these questions, Guan Qiu was overwhelmed for a while.
But I don't want to, I can't. These years are the golden year of the Internet's take-off, and it is also the last golden period, and if you miss this opportunity and want to get on the bus, you need to pay ten times or a hundred times the money.
On Thursday the 2nd, Guan Qiu went to the business school for a half-day class in the morning, and Pu Ruo came to Shanghai in the afternoon.
The two of them went to Lujiazui to talk about business together.
On the way, the two chatted about crude oil futures.
Now that international crude oil futures have been in a shock wave, many speculative institutions that want to take advantage of the good market conditions to get a vote have been dizzy.
Xiong Jiawei and they have always maintained the principle of selling high and buying low, and continued to eat crude oil contracts steadily.
After waiting for the river, Guan Qiu took a sip of the teacup, and then accidentally found that Pu Ruo was wearing a left earring, with her freshly trimmed brown middle hair, which was particularly charming.
Guan Qiu joked casually, "Have a date tonight?"
Pu Ruo said "um".
"Oh...... Huh?" Guan Qiu almost didn't squirt out of his tea, "You...... What do you say?"
Park Ruo, who was driving, looked ahead and did not react.
Guan Qiu was shocked and asked, "Male or female?"
Pu Ruo: "Male." ”
Guan Qiu: "......"
"It's not ......" Guan Qiu scratched his ears and cheeks, and after thinking for a while, he didn't think of how to say it, and from what position he said, so he had to say: "That...... I think you should focus on your work now, as for love......"
Pu Ruo said: "It was introduced by the family. ”
"Introduced by the family?" Hearing Pu Ruo's words, Guan Qiuleng paused.
Originally, he didn't plan to come over today, but Pu Ruo had to ask him to follow along, but now he understood something in a trance.
It won't be for him to pretend to be his boyfriend, right?
"You're mainly here for a blind date today?"
It's a pity that Pu Ruo didn't say anything, no matter how he asked, he didn't speak.
After waiting for the river, I went straight to the Lujiazui Pudong Development Bank Building.
Here is a commercial loan of 20 million.
In these golden years, there is never too much cash.
20 million, even if it is taken out to invest in real estate, the annual appreciation greatly exceeds the bank interest.
At half past four in the afternoon, the two of them left the Pudong Development Building together.
Then he turned around and went to the Bund.
By the time we arrived at the "Peace Hotel" on the Bund on Jinling Road, it was already full of lights, and the lights on the side of the road were purple and red.
When getting out of the car in the parking lot, Guan Qiu said hypocritically: "You go on a blind date, my big light bulb is not suitable, right?"
Pu Ruo didn't even look at him, and when he passed by, he said, "You can't come or not", and then walked towards the door of the hotel diagonally opposite.
Guan Qiu touched his nose and followed.
Want to cuckold him, no way!
Arriving at the door, Guan Qiu looked up and admired this iconic building in Shanghai.
Peace Hotel is the first modernist building in the history of modern architecture in Shanghai, with the most distinctive nine-language suites and many unique restaurants, banquet halls, multi-function halls, bars, rooftop sightseeing gardens, etc.
The overall architecture of the Peace Hotel is in a typical Gothic style, and the main characteristics are exaggeration, asymmetry, peculiarity, and many decorations, which look like a huge castle.
After enjoying the scenery outside, Guan Qiu quickly followed.
As soon as you enter the lobby, you will be greeted by a strong sense of history.
In the middle of the lobby is a huge octagonal dome, echoing the octagonal pavilion below, surrounded by plaster statues sprayed with silver powder, telling the classic images of the hotel from different angles, as if you have traveled back in time to more than 70 years ago.
Follow Pu Ruo to the elevator to the ninth floor - the famous "Chinachem Pavilion".
Chinachem Court is a western restaurant in the Peace Hotel, its predecessor was established in 1933 "Steakhouse", the so-called steakhouse, is generally the most upscale restaurant in the hotel, providing first-class service and the highest quality food.
Of course, Guan Qiu didn't know.
Anyway, for him, the "turtle", this place is really beautiful.
As the skyline of the Bund, you can enjoy a panoramic view of both sides of the Huangpu River, and the lights are beautiful at night.
Just as Guan Qiu was still looking around, a greeting came from ahead.
"Hi ~ Susan!"
Susan is Pu Ruo's English name.
In these years, how can financial elites be mixed up without an English name?
His English name is Tony Statham.
Guan Qiu turned his head to look, and Pu Ruozheng shook hands with a tall and handsome young man generously.
Guan Qiu was a little depressed.
He found that most of his peers were more handsome than him.
It could be a genetic problem.
Rich men find wives who are generally pretty, and then their genes are improved;
And like him, if his parents have no money, they can only gamble on luck.
"Hello ......"
"I'm going to introduce you to ......"
"This is my friend and boss Guan Qiu. ”
Without waiting for Pu Ruo to finish his introduction, the "rich and handsome" stretched out his hand and smiled: "My name is Tang Zijia, you can also call me Charles, and I am now the executive director of Tangchen Group." ”
“…… It's really TM rich and handsome. ”
Hearing that the other party was the son of Tang Junnian, the "first person in Pudong development", Guan Qiu was a little surprised and funny at the same time.
Stretched out his hand and shook the other party, and said with a smile: "Guan Qiu, you can also call me Tony Statham, chairman of 67.com." ”
The two men smiled meaningfully at each other, then sat down.
It was Guan Qiu who sat down first, and after Tang Zijia helped Pu Ruo pull out the chair very gentlemanly, he laughed a few words in English before sitting down.
