After a happy lunch, Xu Mingwen took Liu Wenwen's car back to the company together, and Wang Haoran booked a room in the hotel.

Tired from the journey, Wang Haoran entered the room and went straight to the bathroom, took a shower and came out to take a look, the spacious and bright room was worth the price of eight hundred and eighty-eight a day.

The soft and comfortable bed made Wang Haoran fall asleep unconsciously.

.........

At the same time, Sohu headquarters, the president's office.

Zhang Chaoyang, who had just finished reading the company's performance report for July submitted by his secretary, stretched and leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed.

The overall number of page views on the website decreased by 0.03%, and the ranking of Alexa's website dropped to 37th, which was overtaken by Sina.

Advertising revenue was 3.6 million, up 0.1% from the previous month.

The head of the business department proposed......

Wait a minute?

How can the number of browsing clicks decline, and advertising revenue does not decrease but increases?

Thinking of this, Zhang Chaoyang picked up the documents on the table again.

So that's the case, in addition to the original fixed homepage advertisement, Aihua Technology also placed advertisements on the secondary page of Sohu for the campus network, and charged according to the number of clicks, no wonder the advertising revenue has not decreased.

Sure enough, it is a high-quality customer, Zhang Chaoyang likes such a wealthy customer, although Sohu has been listed, but there is no profit model at present, and it has been in a state of loss, all relying on the monthly advertising revenue to subsidize a little, otherwise the half-dead stock can fall below the issue price.

Thinking of Aihua, Zhang Chaoyang remembered that Xu Mingwen asked for his own affairs, so he picked up the landline on the table and dialed the internal number, "Hey, let Gao Jia come to my office." ”

A few minutes later, a thin man with glasses stood in front of Zhang Chaoyang.

Zhang Chaoyang asked, "Does Aihua Technology know?"

The man with glasses said: "Mr. Zhang, you are talking about this Aihua Technology that advertises on our website, right?"

Zhang Chaoyang nodded, "Well, you immediately go and write an advertorial for Aihua Technology's campus network, praise the prospects of the campus network, and by the way, reveal Aihua Technology's intention to carry out the first round of financing for the campus network, how to write it clearly? ”

After listening to Zhang Chaoyang's instructions, the man with glasses said, "Okay, Mr. Zhang can rest assured." ”

"Alright, you can go. ”

........

Isn't the golden scale a thing in the pool, a dragon that changes when it encounters wind and clouds!

This is the age of the Internet!

It's a self-made era!

The times make heroes!

As the old saying goes: you ignore it yesterday, you can't afford it today, and the website introduced to you today is the campus network that is about to turn into a butterfly.

In just half a year, from its establishment to now having 3 million registered users and 1 million daily active users, the campus network has gone through the pinnacle that many Internet companies cannot reach in a lifetime!

Why?

Different from other social networking sites, the campus network has accurate user positioning, coupled with a user-friendly user interface, and a more private interaction method of communication, so that the campus network has a user viscosity far beyond similar functional websites.

......

......

Finally, according to the grapevine, the senior management of Aihua Technology, the parent company of the campus network, revealed that in order to accelerate the development of the campus network, the company is ready to carry out the first round of financing for the campus network!

.......

It didn't take two hours for a certain C-style advertorial of "Shocked! What makes three million people fall in love with it?" was freshly released, and the man with glasses checked the typos again, and then uploaded the article to the homepage of Sohu News.

If Wang Haoran is here, he will definitely suspect that the glasses man was reborn with him, just this article, if you want to say that the glasses man is not the editor of the UC department, Wang Haoran will definitely not believe it!

However, at this time, Wang Haoran was sleeping in bed, but Xu Mingwen saw this article in the morning in the office.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang, I read the article, I have nothing to say! Brother, you are really interesting!"

"Hehe, it's a trivial matter, I just called a few venture capitalists and revealed the news, as for whether I will contact you, then I can't guarantee it!"

"Look at what you said, whether you contact me or not, I remember that Mr. Zhang is good, next time I go to the capital, I will invite you to dinner!"

"That's not possible, if you come, I will definitely pick you up, how can I let you have a treat, this doesn't bury me!"

"In that case, I really have to take some time to go back to the capital to see my parents!"

"Well, it's okay to go home and see your parents, by the way, do you want to increase the advertising of the campus network before financing?

"This matter, I discussed it with the boss, Mr. Zhang can rest assured, the advertisements on the campus network must be your Sohu!"

"Okay, I'll give you a discount then!"

"Okay, goodbye, Mr. Zhang!"

Xu Mingwen put down the phone and smiled at Liu Wenwen.

Liu Wenwen was just discussing things with Xu Mingwen, and she also heard this call, "Is it Mr. Zhang from Sohu?"

"Well, I asked him to help reveal the news of our financing to the venture capital, and he not only made a phone call, but also wrote an advertorial for us on Sohu. ”

Liu Wenwen said: "Where, let me see!"

Xu Mingwen clicked on the article to show Liu Wenwen, and Liu Wenwen said after reading it: "I'm a little embarrassed to read it, this is too hard to write!"

"Hey, it's not profitable, he wants to beg for some tricks, but he didn't listen to the last thing he said to let us increase advertising investment!"

"I think this is feasible, we have the idea of financing, and it is a good thing to increase advertising investment during this time. ”

"I'm afraid that there is not enough money! How much money does the company have?"

"There is still 1.3 million left in the financial account, and at present, it can almost last until the end of this month. ”

"Hey, let's talk about the advertisement after I discuss it with Zhuang Yuanlang!"

The three words of Zhuangyuanlang made Liu Wenwen smile, "Why do you say that our Zhuangyuanlang would rather raise funds than take out loans from banks?"

Xu Mingwen smiled: " I know that most Internet companies do not have the habit of borrowing from banks, and generally choose venture capital for financing when they are short of money, which is the so-called angel investment, there are two main reasons: one is that Internet companies are not very good and bank loans in kind, just take our campus network as an example, the website can not eat or drink is not in kind, the office is rented, and the employees are just dozens of shrimp, and the general bank can give us a loan of one million, which is good, and it is useless; another reason is that financing is not only capital, but also a variety of collateral benefits, depending on the background of the financing party！”

Compared with Liu Wenwen, Xu Mingwen has lived in the United States for several years after all, and knows more about some basic states of the Internet.
