Chapter 180: A Few Suggestions
The acquisition is subject to board approval, but the two parties have signed a memorandum of negotiation and will wait a few days before signing a formal contract.
Once an agreement was reached, the conversation between the two sides was more relaxed and pleasant.
"Mr. Jiang, I tend to keep the details of this cooperation confidential before Du Niang goes public, what do you think?" said Boss Li.
Whether the Hao123 is worth the current price or not, different people have different opinions. Except for a few search engine companies that have a relatively clear understanding of the impact of navigation sites, others don't have that much understanding of it. Especially ordinary investors, it is difficult to accept that this simple website is sold for such a high price, so Jiang Hui also agrees with the secrecy of Boss Li's proposal, and he does not want to be famous now, and he does not want to be known to the world.
"Mr. Li, we thought of this together," Jiang Hui said with a smile.
"Thank you Mr. Jiang for your understanding, as the general manager of Du Niang, I hope that Mr. Jiang can support my work on the board of directors in the future," said Boss Li.
Five percent of the shares are enough to get one director on the board of directors. Although Boss Li is the founder of the company, after several financings, he also has to seek more shareholders to support him, so that he can successfully implement his ideas within Du Niang.
"Professional things are left to professionals, and I will support Mr. Li's proposal unless there are special circumstances," Jiang Hui said.
"Then I will thank Mr. Jiang in advance, in addition, Mr. Jiang's vision and creativity in the Internet has always been very unique, can you also point out Du Niang?", Boss Li said.
"Mr. Li, don't say it, I've been dealing with Google, Yahoo, and Du Niang recently, and I've really thought about the problem of search engines. Let's have a gentleman's agreement, how about it?", Jiang Hui said with a smile.
"What kind of gentleman's agreement. I'm listening," Boss Li said with interest.
"I'll give Du Niang an idea, if you think it's good, then leave ten best positions for the Guanghui Group on Hao123, and use it for the promotion of the new website of the Guanghui Group in the future, if you don't think it's good, then I don't say it," Jiang Hui said.
"Ten good positions, the value is not low, but I was very curious about what creativity Mr. Jiang had, and I agreed," Boss Li said with a smile.
"Du Niang's biggest income now should be advertising revenue, right? Increasing traffic and improving users' stickiness to Du Niang should be the two most important tasks, right?" Jiang Hui said.
"That's true," said Boss Li.
"Everyone uses Du Niang, many times because they want to search for something of interest through it, but there are a lot of online resources and it is very messy, and it is difficult for users to judge which ones are authoritative and which ones are personal scribbles. I'm thinking,Can we add a module under Du Niang,That is, Du Niang Encyclopedia,Make it an online encyclopedia,For each entry,It must be Du Niang's review before it is displayed,Increase authority。 After the user gets used to it, they will go to Du Niang if they have any questions, and if they don't know how to ask Du Niang, the user stickiness will naturally go up, the traffic will also increase, and the corresponding advertising fee will not be less, and even some advertisements can be combined with Du Niang Encyclopedia to do", Jiang Hui said his thoughts in one breath.
Du Niang Encyclopedia is an open and free online encyclopedia platform launched by Du Niang Company. According to normal history, its beta version was launched on April 20, 2006, and the official version was released on April 21, 2008, as of April 2017, Du Niang Encyclopedia has included more than 14.32 million entries, and more than 6.1 million netizens have participated in the editing of entries, covering almost all known areas of knowledge.
Du Niang Encyclopedia aims to create a Chinese information collection platform covering various fields of knowledge. Du Niang Encyclopedia emphasizes the participation and dedication of users, fully mobilizes the power of Internet users, gathers the minds and wisdom of hundreds of millions of users, and actively communicates and shares. This is a very huge help to improve the stickiness of users, to the back, many people directly set Du Niang as the home page of the website, and really realize that there is something to ask Du Niang.
"Mr. Jiang, your idea is great, I have been thinking about how to enhance the value of Du Niang's existence, so that the majority of netizens regard Du Niang as an Internet platform, not just a search tool, with Du Niang Encyclopedia, not only can enhance the knowledge authority of Du Niang, but also help to improve user stickiness. This idea is so good, the ten Hao123 positions are very valuable", Boss Li said excitedly.
"It's good that Mr. Li approves it, and I will also be a part of Du Niang in the future, so I naturally hope that the company's development will be better," Jiang Hui said with a smile.
"Mr. Jiang, are there any other good ideas? I am willing to have another gentleman's agreement?", Boss Li said.
"Hehe, then I'm really welcome, if Mr. Li adopts it, then in the future, the affiliated companies of the Guanghui Group will conduct marketing on Hao123, and the fee will be discounted by 50%," Jiang Hui said.
"No problem, I agreed", with the first idea at the bottom, Boss Li readily agreed.
"Now everyone goes to Duniang, basically just to find the webpage or information they need. Then can we build a module under Du Niang, called Du Niang knows. It is mainly used to ask and answer questions for each user, and answering questions can be combined with some virtual items of Du Niang, such as experience points, to reward or reward. Guanghui Pay, a subsidiary of Guanghui Technology, specializes in the payment field and can cooperate with Du Niang to engage in this module," Jiang Hui said.
The biggest feature of Du Niang knows, is the perfect combination with the search engine, so that the tacit knowledge that the user has is transformed into explicit knowledge, the user is not only the user of the content that Du Niang knows, but also the creator of Du Niang knows, and the knowledge data accumulated here can be reflected in the search results. Through the interaction between users and search engines, the community of search engines is realized.
"Mr. Jiang, you are turning stones into gold, with Du Niang knowing, Du Niang Company is really not a simple search tool, attracting virtual experience value, but also providing convenience for the development of other platforms in the future. To be honest, I was a little unwilling to spend such a big price to acquire Hao123 before, but after listening to Mr. Jiang's two suggestions, I think this is the most valuable investment in Du Niang in recent years. With Du Niang Encyclopedia and Du Niang knowing, Du Niang can completely step up to a new level, and I already have a hunch that Du Niang will no longer have opponents in the Celestial Empire", Boss Li said very happily.
These two ideas are implemented in advance, and it is really a timely rain for Du Niang, who is planning to go public, and after the successful launch, at least the value of the shares in Jiang Hui's hands can be doubled.
