Chapter 57: The Professor's Invitation

Zhao Zejun frowned quickly when he saw Rizhao, as if he had any objections to his words, so he took the initiative to ask. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Mr. Zhao, the general direction of promoting rebates is absolutely correct, I am just worried, will there be a situation where readers will promote and register by themselves?" Rizhao said.

"You get to the point!" Zhao Zejun smiled at Rizhao, then turned his eyes slightly, and said to Song Yun: "This needs to be solved by your technical aspects, if the promotion link wants to succeed, you must ensure two points: first, you must be able to identify who sent the promotion link, so as to give the corresponding account reward; ”

"It's not very difficult, but it can be achieved. Song Yundao.

"In addition, when promoting, it should be stated in advance that this preferential rebate activity has a time limit, and after the event is over, there will be no greater discount. ”

Rizhao was slightly stunned, and wondered: "This activity company doesn't spend a dime at all, and the more rebates it gives, the more we earn, why set a deadline?"

"Rizhao, you're still too realistic. I said 'there is a time limit,' but I don't say 'set a time limit.' ”

He went on to say: "People are inert, and if this activity has always existed, there may be such a situation: some readers are between being able to promote and not being promoted, and there are still a lot of book coins on the account today, maybe they will not be promoted, a day or two, and habits become natural." In turn, adding a sense of urgency to them can urge them to promote it as soon as possible, and it is also a natural habit. You must know that even if SARS spreads to the mainland, it will not last for several years, and I estimate that it will take half a year at most, which is the prime time for promotion. Moreover, in the composition of the website's readers, the readers who are really very short of money and have to rely on promotion rebates to see the genuine version, and the big money that is not short of money at all, are all a minority, and the vast majority of readers are the kind of middle layer I just mentioned. This 'time limit' is to push behind this group of people. ”

In fact, there is another reason, Zhao Zejun didn't say it now.

There are two websites in the industry standing side by side, and Zeyue has to rely on promotion to attract popularity. If one day, only Zeyue is left alone, there is no need for high rebates, readers have no other choice, and the importance of promotion will be greatly reduced, leaving a way out for the future in advance.

As for the specific rebate amount: 20 Zeyue coins for newly registered users, 5% rebate for recharge, Zhao Zejun said that there is room for improvement, there is no technical difficulty in promoting rebate measures, and there is no possibility of confidentiality.

After Rizhao is in charge of this part, the next thing is Song Yun's technical film.

The novel website has been on the right track, technically it is mainly maintenance and upgrading, relatively easy, taking the opportunity of SARS, Zhao Zejun is ready to develop some new projects.

Although the school was closed for only two or three months during the SARS period, the panic caused by SARS lasted for more than a year, and for a long time, people were reluctant to go out, which is the best time for the development of network products.

As for what exactly to develop, Zhao Zejun has not yet decided, and there are several options to be determined, which can be determined according to the specific situation at that time.

No matter which project is developed, it requires manpower, and the technical difficulty is much greater than that of a website.

So recruit people in advance.

There is another layer to consider.

Once SARS arrives, Zeyue is likely to have a 'labor shortage'.

The speed of Zeyue's development is too fast, the personnel have always been stretched, and most of the employees are part-time students, during the SARS period, major colleges and universities were closed, many of the backbone employees may not be able to come to work on time, and the talent market is also deserted, and it is too difficult to recruit people after the national panic comes.

After finishing speaking, Song Yun stayed alone and said to Zhao Zejun: "Mr. Zhao, during the Chinese New Year, Professor Li Mingran of our school called me and wanted to ask you to join him to record a web program about online novels. ”

Li Mingran, this name is very familiar, after thinking about it for a while, Zhao Zejun remembered: his JAVA language was taught by Li Mingran, of course, most of the time he was skipping class.

There is also an algorithm class in the sophomore year, and I heard that it is also taught by Li Mingran.

Li Mingran was rated as a full professor in his early 40s, and can be regarded as a 'young scholar'; because computer science is a modern frontier science and is closely related to practice, Li Mingran is not like a traditional old scientist, who only focuses on his studies, but often participates in various business and social activities, makes frequent appearances in the media, and is a celebrity in the faculty of HKUST.

That is, to do knowledge, but also to make money.

Zhao Zejun likes Li Mingran's class, this kind of teacher generally doesn't card students, most of the JAVA courses last semester were skipped, and finally followed by two classes and mixed up with 60 points.

Last time NetEase had a show about online novels, Li Mingran was a guest, Zhao Zejun also watched this episode, and he was very impressed by Li Mingran's point of view: the other party believes that between Zeyue and the starting point, there will inevitably be a battle for hegemony that determines the monopoly position of the industry.

The view may not be entirely correct, but the general direction is correct.

After Zhao Zejun and Li Mingran got in touch, they learned that this interview was proposed by an online financial program of NetEase, and they wanted to invite Zhao Zejun as a guest, Li Mingran is a teacher at the University of Science and Technology, and Zhao Zejun is a student of the University of Science and Technology, so he passed through Li Mingran. Zhao Zejun himself usually sees the beginning but not the end, and Li Mingran doesn't quite understand the mind of this young entrepreneur: the current successful entrepreneur is a special swagger, a particularly low-key, and unwilling to appear in front of the media, so he contacted Zhao Zejun through Song Yun.

In the technical group that Song Yun initially formed, there was a graduate student, who was Li Mingran's student, and he had strong technical ability.

NetEase's financial column has a mediocre influence, if it weren't for the continuous reporting of online novels before, Zhao Zejun wouldn't have known that there was such a show, whether it was on or not, there was not much difference in Zeyue's publicity.

However, Zhao Zejun is willing to deal with Li Mingran.

Li Mingran was at school, Zhao Zejun invited the other party to visit Zeyue, took some photos on the spot as material, and promised to take some time to be interviewed.

After taking the photo, Li Mingran and Zhao Zejun were drinking tea in the office, Li Mingran smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao, this interview, I was also entrusted by a friend, their editor-in-chief and I are classmates, and I can't save face." I know you're usually busy, and you have your own time. However, the online novel industry itself can be regarded as a new topic for academic research and discussion. ”

Hearing the strings and knowing the elegant meaning, Zhao Zejun heard something else from the other party's words, thought about it, and said: "Professor Li, if relevant materials are needed for future research, we Zeyue will fully cooperate." Zeyue's ability to get to this point is inseparable from the care of the school and teachers. ”

The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and Li Mingran laughed: "Mr. Zhao is too polite." However, there is really something I hope Mr. Zhao can help. ”
