Tao Zhiwen said: "Yes, what? You want to use a computer?"

Zhang Chen asked Tao Zhiwen to turn on the computer, connect to the Internet, enter this domain name in the netscape browser, and open the website he had just created.

Zhang Chen pointed to the screen and said: "Brother Wen, this is a relatively simple advertising website that I just made, and now I want to promote it, I wonder if you can help me write an advertorial, and then post it in your newspaper?"

Tao Zhiwen was confused: "Uh, Xiao Zhang, I still don't understand too much, do you mean that you want to advertise your own advertising website? Then you have to contact the advertising department of our newspaper." “

Zhang Chen said with a smile: "Brother Wen, it's not accurate to say that it is an advertisement. The main thing is that I hope you can report it as a news event and add some heat to my website. “

Tao Zhiwen hesitated: "If it is a news report, it must have a certain topicality before our editor-in-chief can agree." ”

Zhang Chen nodded, "You're right, so I'm confident that I can find you to help me make this news." First, I'm not even sixteen years old this year, and age is a gimmick. ”

"Second, my nationality is a gimmick, as a Chinese teenager, I feel the atmosphere of freedom in the United States, and I have the soil to give full play to my talents, so I made such a website. American readers should be willing to read reports on this subject, after all, Americans are patriotic. ”

"Thirdly, the business model of this website is simple and crude, and it doesn't seem to make much sense, but if I really use this website to transfer money. Even if it's only a few hundred dollars, it will cause the public to marvel at the charm of the Internet. California is the cradle of Silicon Valley, and Silicon Valley is the pride of California, and people here are naturally interested in legendary entrepreneurial stories. ”

"To sum up, I think that as long as this article is written, it will make a big difference to me. So please, Brother Wen. ”

Tao Zhiwen raised his eyebrows and smiled after hearing this: "Hearing you say this, maybe it's really okay." But you don't have a business now, I see that there are only these two businesses advertising on your website, and they don't know each other. ”

Zhang Chen said confidently: "Brother Wen, you just have to rest assured, before you publish this article, I will at least promise to sell more than 20 grids, and you can say in the article that my website turnover is more than 2,000 US dollars." ”

Tao Zhiwen thought about it and felt that the risk was not big. At this time, Shen Mingjie put Yaoyao to sleep and walked over, "Steven, what are you talking about?" Shen Mingjie sat next to Tao Zhiwen casually.

Tao Zhiwen said with a smile: "Jessica, don't look at Zhang Chen's young age, everyone has started a business, no, he was just telling me about writing an advertorial for his own website." ”

Zhang Chen said modestly: "It's just a casual play, I think it's quite interesting, discuss with Brother Wen to see if it can be done." ”

Shen Mingjie was curious: "What website advertorial?"

Tao Zhiwen told his wife what Zhang Chen wanted to do, and after Shen Mingjie heard it, his eyes lit up, "Zhang Chen, I think it's better for me to write this article." ”

Zhang Chen smiled: "If Sister Shen is willing to help, of course it would be better." ”

Shen Mingjie said: "I mean, this article is probably better to publish in our newspaper than to have Steven publish it in the Los Angeles Times." ”

Seeing that Zhang Chen was a little puzzled, Shen Mingjie explained: "The San Francisco Chronicle where I am now is a local newspaper in San Francisco, although the circulation is not as good as the Los Angeles Times where Steven works, but it has a high share of local readers in San Francisco. Moreover, San Francisco, as the location of Silicon Valley, attaches more importance to Internet entrepreneurship news, which is more likely to form a topic effect. Third, Shen Mingjie brushed his hair reservedly, "Third, I am the internal metronewseditor of the San Francisco Chronicle, which is more powerful than Steven's voice in the Los Angeles Times." ”

Shen Mingjie smiled apologetically at her husband, "I'm sorry, Steven, I mean your newspaper is bigger. ”

Tao Zhiwen smiled bitterly, his wife is good anywhere, but her utilitarianism and dedication are too heavy.

After hearing this, Zhang Chen also felt that it was better to post it in the San Francisco Times, and smiled at Shen Mingjie: "Sister Shen is really embarrassed to help so much." Anyway, please. As he spoke, he bowed earnestly to Shen Mingjie and Tao Zhiwen to express his gratitude.

After Zhang Chen left Tao Zhiwen's house, Tao Zhiwen asked his wife suspiciously, "Aren't you not very concerned about ordinary people from China? Why are you so enthusiastic about this matter?"

Shen Ming glanced at her husband: "You are stupid, a child who came out to study abroad on his own before the age of sixteen, can you treat him as an ordinary child? This kind of person either has a deep background in China, or has a certain foundation in the United States, or maybe both." Didn't you tell me that you saw him and Barbara Boxey very well on the plane, and you saw that the red envelope he gave to Yaoyao was a hundred dollars. It's not much, but when you think about it, when you first came to the United States, you couldn't say a hundred dollars, even a dollar would be broken in half. Anyway, it's an advertorial, and it's best to be able to help make a good relationship. ”

Tao Zhiwen shook his head helplessly, quite cold to his wife's snobbery.

Shen Mingjie was a little angry when she saw her husband's appearance, and said coldly: "Don't think I'm snobbish, even if I don't have these speculations later, I think this is a good subject matter, and I should be able to make an article." ”

Tao Zhiwen blinked and said to Shen Mingjie sincerely: "Yes, yes, what my wife said is right, then please leave this matter to my wife." ”

Zhang Chen got on the bike and returned to the bicycle shop next to Su Zhuoyuan's apartment, and saw that the boss Bill was hoisting a new car to the operating table with a big belly to adjust the transmission.

Zhang Chen jumped out of the car, "Hey, Bill, the flywheel you tuned for me is amazing, I thought I was driving the wind when I was riding." ”

Bill laughed, "Of course, I was a professional cyclist in the '70s, and I was fifth in the country." ”

Zhang Chen exclaimed: "It's amazing, by the way, I made a website by myself." If you agree, I can give you a free month of advertising. ”

Bill laughs, "Free is the best, of course I do." ”

Zhang Chen shrugged, "Only the first month is free, and if you want to play again in the future, it's a hundred dollars a month." By the way, if someone asks you how much advertising costs, you must not say that it is free, this is my special thank you for it. ”

Bill blinked, rather moved, "I don't know how to thank you." ”

Zhang Chen said with a smile: "If the meat is paid, then it will be exempt." Oh, by the way, do you have your dealership logo here? Give me a scanned copy or a digital copy that I'll put on my website. ”

Bill scratched his head, took out a 3.5-inch floppy disk from his desk and handed it to Zhang Chen. "This should be the electronic version of the logo left to me by the printing company, you can see if you can use it. ”

Zhang Chen took it and waved his hand, "Ok, then I'll go." Bill goodbye. ”
