Chapter 92: Interview (2)

"Ding Dong", a prompt popped up on Roger's email client, and Roger clicked on it to see that it was from the Chinese boy from the million-dollar website.

Roger shifted his chair and read the email carefully.

"Dear Miss Roger, thank you very much for your interest in the Million Dollar website. I would very much like to accept your interview, but I have a small request for the interview, please don't get into politics. You know, I'm from China, and I'm still on a student visa. As a sixteen-year-old, it's hard to give a fair view on political issues. If that's guaranteed, I'll have time at any time during the week. By the way, if possible, it's a good idea to send me a copy of the questions you'll be asked during the interview so that I'm prepared. I wish you all the best. ChenZhang。 “

Roger chuckled, the teenager was quite careful. But it's good for him to be interviewed, and when the time comes, with his own experience, will he be able to handle a child?

Roger hurriedly began to contact the cameraman, fortunately, he usually has a good relationship with several cameramen, I heard that Roger had a more urgent interview, and the cameraman happily agreed to cooperate with Roger's time as much as possible.

In the end, after two or three email exchanges, the two sides set the interview time for 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. And the location is Su Zhuoyuan's apartment.

"What? You said CNN was going to interview you, just because of the broken website you made?" Su Zhuorui looked incredulous.

Zhang Chen laughed and said, "Yes, are you going out or changing your clothes? Otherwise, when the reporter comes, I will think that you have sexually assaulted a minor under the age of 16, and I don't care if you are arrested at that time." Zhang Chen looked at Su Zhuorui, who was only wearing a T-shirt and hot pants in the living room.

Su Zhuorui blushed, hurriedly went back to the bedroom to change into a pair of jeans, and carefully touched up her makeup in the mirror. At the same time, I was secretly glad that I went to Sassoon yesterday to get a new hairstyle.

But this Zhang Chen is really able to toss, how long has it been here, ten days? How many things have happened in ten days? Not to mention the extremely small probability event of winning the lottery, it took ten minutes to build a website, and now there is CNN to interview!?

But to be able to hit the jackpot, this kid is too lucky. That is, he does not believe in religion, otherwise he must think that this kid is the chosen one.

Su Zhuorui took the lipstick, looked left and right at the lip makeup she had just painted in the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction, Well, Perfect.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

As soon as Zhang Chen opened the door, he found two people standing at the door.

"Hi, you're Chen, aren't you? We're reporters for CNN, and my name is Roger, Roger Barros. This is my companion, the videographer Barr. "It was a beautiful brown woman, in her early twenties, with beautiful brown eyes. He looks close to 1.7 meters tall, wearing a black short skirt suit, flesh-colored stockings, and occasionally the swing of the skirt can see a delicate whiteness.

Zhang Chen hurriedly let the two into the room and moved two chairs for the two to sit down, Barr refused with a smile, saying that he still needed to stand and operate the camera. Roger straightened his skirt and sat down on his side.

Roger and Zhang Chen first had a brief exchange of information about the whole interview process, and introduced Su Zhuohui to Roger as his friend, and then signaled to Barr to start filming.

"Hey CNN viewers, I'm Roger Barros, intern journalist. Some viewers may know that recently a crazy website has appeared on the Internet, and this website is called Million Dollars. It's called Million Dollars because the creator of this website whimsically made a 10,000-panel web page in twenty minutes. He plans to rent out each cell for $100 a month, and if he rents it all out, he will earn a million dollars a month. Isn't that an incredible idea, but what's even more incredible is that the site has been built in less than a week now, and it's actually sold more than 30 grids. ”

"Let's take a look at the buyers of these lattices, oh, there's Bill Bike, Sea Sturgeon Burger, Goetz Images, oh my god, there's my pet hospital downstairs。。。。。 All in all, the builder of the website managed to sell more than 30 grids in less than a week, earning $3,000. What's even more incredible is that the creator of this website is not yet 16 years old, and he is still a Chinese teenager who has just received a student visa!"

Next, let's interview this whimsical Chineseboy. “

"Hey, hello, Chen, how did you come up with the idea of building such a website?" Roger handed the sound picker to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen knocked on Erlang's leg and talked eloquently: "When I watched the NBA draft a few days ago, I suddenly saw that the TV screen was divided into thirty grids, and each grid had an NBA team logo on it. I was new to FrontPage and was figuring it out, so I wanted to make a web page like the division on the screen, put all 30 teams on it, and then make a separate web page for each team. But in the process of doing it, it occurred to me, why not just make it an advertising website?"

"You know, there is a problem with Internet companies now, that is, it is difficult to get a clear profit model. Maybe he did a big job, but because there was no profit model, the operation was a loss for two to three years. I'm thinking about what is the value of this kind of website to investors? Even if it is a website that only has a profit model and no content, its value should be greater than that of a website that cannot find a profit model. ”

"If my website can inspire some entrepreneurs to get back to the basics of business, I think it's a success. That's why I wanted to make a website that seemed simple and crude in the first place. Of course, it's also because my technique is relatively simple and crude. Zhang Chen blackened himself at the end of this question.

Roger's eyes rippled, but he didn't expect Zhang Chen to behave so easily in front of the camera.

"In other words, do you think there is a problem with the Internet companies in the United States at present?" Roger quietly gave Zhang Chen a trick.

Zhang Chen waved his hand and said, "No, that's not what I meant. You know, Yahoo is not making a profit now, but its advertising revenue can cover 60% of its management costs. In the next few years, I believe that their advertising monetization will increase until they become profitable. In addition to giants like Yahoo, there are also a large number of small Internet companies that have become profitable. I just don't think starting a business and investing should be a gamble. “

Roger smiled, "Then let's change the subject, can you tell us how you acquired so much knowledge of computers and the Internet?" We know that ten days ago, you were a pure Chinese middle school student and had never been abroad. Uh, you know, it seems that Huaxia is still a desert in the Internet field right now. “
