Wang Sifeng was a little puzzled in his heart, since the last time the GEM "Han's Laser" gambling incident, Sun Fatzi had a relationship with the boss of Tianya, and the Qingshan Forum took the opportunity to increase a lot of popularity, and it has only stopped for a few days, why did he get it again?

"Dashan, is something wrong?"

Chen Qiaoshan didn't hide it, he said directly: "Huazi heard the news that Sohu intends to acquire Tianya. ”

Wang Sifeng was shocked, if you want to talk about the number of users, Tianya is indeed more than the Qingshan Forum, which is not much of a problem, but the user stickiness, the gap between the two is particularly obvious.

Domestic forums are now generally facing the dilemma of unsmooth commercialization process, and all those who do forums are very painful, because they can't find a profit point, online advertising has just emerged, and the profit is very limited.

Even if the end of the world is pounced, it is struggling to maintain.

At this stage, the most commercial income is not advertising, if you want to increase income, the most direct is to do CRBT and MMS download services, the threshold is low and the effect is fast, and it has become the only hope for the survival of small and medium-sized webmasters.

Tianya is the best forum for commercialization in the same period, so Tianya is not short of money, but the Qingshan Forum is different, and Chen Qiaoshan is responsible for all the expenditures, which is obviously not a long-term solution.

Wang Sifeng also persuaded Chen Qiaoshan that the forum can accept advertisements for promotion, and it is not difficult to do CRBT MMS, but they were all rejected without exception, but fortunately, the Qingshan Forum has almost no promotion costs, but it also saves most of the expenses.

"What do you want to do, if you really want to do promotion, it will cost a lot of money. Wang Sifeng was a little worried, it was good to say in the early stage, if he really wanted to start a ring with Tianya, investment would definitely be indispensable.

Chen Qiaoshan said: "Don't worry, we won't go out to advertise, that won't have much effect." ”

"Then what are you going to do?" Sun Fatzi interjected, "Why don't I hire some people to go to other forums to build momentum?"

Chen Qiaoshan hurriedly said: "Forget it, there are many times, people don't know, let's do activities in the forum this time." ”

"Tell me about it. Wang Sifeng was interested.

Chen Qiaoshan explained: "For example, the computer technology forum, we post a discussion post in it every day, and there are prizes on the 8th floor, 88th floor, and 888th floor to attract popularity. ”

"What's the award?" Wang Sifeng asked.

Chen Qiaoshan thought for a while, "Watching the news yesterday, didn't Little Japan just get a 100G laptop hard drive, we can use this as a prize." ”

"You're crazy!" Sun Fatzi suddenly became calm, "That thing is 1,000 US dollars each, which is 8,002 yuan, how much money do you burn?"

Chen Qiaoshan smiled: "Why are you in a hurry, I didn't say that everyone has a share." ”

Sun Fatzi rolled his eyes and hurriedly said, "Didn't you say to find a few nurseries?"

Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but roll his eyes, "You think everyone is a fool, the BMW lottery case is now in an uproar, aren't you uncomfortable with doing this?"

Sun Fatzi sneered: "I'm just saying it casually, can we make it low-key?"

Chen Qiaoshan ignored him and said directly: "If you want to do activities, you must be fair and just, there must be awards, but there are not too many, three sections once a month, for three months, to build up the momentum first." ”

"In this way, you have to burn out hundreds of thousands in three months, is it worth it?" Wang Sifeng was very sober and couldn't help but remind.

"Don't worry about the money, I'll figure it out. Chen Qiaoshan is full of money this time, he knows how crazy it is to touch the lottery ticket, and he also knows the benefits of event promotion, as long as the real money is smashed in, he will not worry about not being able to make a noise.

"By the way, fat man, after the event starts, you organize some people to go to the major portals to brush up, don't make it too conspicuous. ”

"Gotcha. Sun Fatzi agreed to it, he is now experienced, and he has a fixed group of people in his hands, as long as he gives money, it is much easier to go to the Internet café to read posts than to go to the street to distribute leaflets.

Wang Sifeng said: "Why do you suddenly want to do promotion, our forum has no profit point, it is already burning money, and it is not a way to go on like this?"

Chen Qiaoshan smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, it won't be burning for long, and you'll see it before the end of the year." ”

Wang Sifeng glanced at the young boss sitting opposite, and a sense of powerlessness swelled in his heart.

He is good at technology, but he doesn't know anything about business operations, and he can only let Chen Qiaoshan do it, but fortunately, the other party always has amazing moves, he really can't see through where Chen Qiaoshan learned so many ideas.

"Don't talk about it, if you go on like this, the meat skewers will be baked jerky. Yan Xiaoqin's words reminded everyone, and several people didn't talk about work anymore.

Before the meal was finished, Chen Qiaoshan's mobile phone rang, he picked it up and glanced at it, Liu Chang dialed it, and picked it up.

"Sister Chang, you're messing out with Brother Wang, do you have something to do with me?"

Liu Chang said: "Zhou Zhengning contacted me again. ”

"Who?" Chen Qiaoshan didn't react for a while.

Zhou Zhengning, President of JAFCO Asia. ”

"That Singaporean, didn't you just meet for a long time, why did you find it again?" Chen Qiaoshan was a little strange, Kang Sheng was really remembered.

Liu Chang said: "He said that he wanted to come to Kangsheng to have a look, and after listening to the meaning of his words, he already had a preliminary investment intention." ”

Chen Qiaoshan said with a smile: "That's not so anxious, he wants to invest money, and it depends on whether we have a demand, so let's delay it for a few days." ”

"This. Liu Chang was a little hesitant, "He said to come over in the afternoon, and I wasn't embarrassed to refuse." ”

Chen Qiaoshan had no choice but to say: "That's it, let him see it if he wants to, the software is open source, and there is nothing to hide." ”

……

Hanging up the phone, Chen Qiaoshan asked, "Wang Lin, have you read the investment list, what's the problem?"

Wang Lin spread her hands, "I just finished the translation, and I haven't had time to read it carefully, I have to come to the forum for part-time work today, so I can only put it down temporarily." ”

"Don't do anything about the studio yet, focus on this for the time being. ”

"Huh?" Wang Lin was a little hesitant, her family conditions were not very good, she worked part-time at the forum on weekends, and she could get 200 a month, plus the work-study program in school, the living expenses were more than half, which could undoubtedly greatly reduce the burden on the family.

Yan Xiaoqin knew her difficulties and said: "Helping Kangsheng deal with the investment list is also helping the studio, don't worry, we have to ask Chen Qiaoshan to give you more salary." ”

Chen Qiaoshan smiled: "You are the boss, you have the final say, but you have to show some results, right?"

Wang Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After the translation last night, I asked a few senior sisters to help me look at it, although it was not a formal contract review, but I did find some problems on it. ”

Chen Qiaoshan was stunned for a moment, "What's the problem?" ”

"The other party not only requires the employee options to be determined before the capital injection, but also has a priority claim for the shares held. ”

Wang Lin paused and explained: "It is required to dilute the equity first and then inject capital, and the investor must also be preferred shares." ”

Chen Qiaoshan smiled, this was all expected, there was nothing surprising, but he was not concerned about these, but the financing traps hidden in the contract.

Chen Hua was kicked out of the company he established by investors back then, Chen Qiaoshan didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, although Kangsheng's willingness to raise funds was not strong, but he always had to figure out the routine of venture capital first, and he was careful that there was no big mistake, and sooner or later it would come in handy.
