Chapter 23: The Anger of the Thief
The sky is changing, the morning is still cloudless, the sun is shining, I can't wait for people to get into the air-conditioned room and don't want to come out, and the wind suddenly rises without warning in the afternoon, so that people know that it has entered November, and winter is coming.
Everyone else was squatting at the propaganda point on campus to eat boxed lunches, and Yao Xiuqing couldn't get used to it, so she pulled Lu Xi out to eat Western food. In the morning, the weather was hot, she threw her windbreaker in the car, and came out of the restaurant wearing only a shirt at this time, the wind blew and couldn't help shivering, frowning and hugging her shoulders and wanting to retreat, seeing that the door was blocked by Lu Xi behind her, and muttered: "The weather forecast will deceive!" ”
"The weather was a bit unusual." Lu Xi smiled, seeing her expression of hugging her shoulders and being afraid of the cold, and her expression of needing pity and care, he took the initiative to wrap his arms around her shoulders, draped the smoky gray short windbreaker in his hand on her, looked at her white and red face, and said with a smile: "Sherpa is sick, this team will disperse, Sister Xiuqing wear it." ”
Yao Xiuqing was stunned, then put her sleeves in with a smile, put her hands in her pockets, turned around and took two steps, and then turned back and asked, "Are Americans also used to chatting?" ”
Lu Xi hesitated for a moment and asked with a smile, "Sister Xiuqing has studied in the UK, right?" He had the impression that only the British would talk about the weather every day.
Yao Xiuqing stared at him in surprise, feeling incredible, she could guess where she was studying just from one sentence. Seeing his own shadow in his bright eyes, Yao Xiuqing lowered her head and looked at the tips of her shoes, was silent for a while, threw away all the past things that had just come to her heart, and whispered: "It seems that I underestimated you, the number of registered users exceeded 30,000 in just one morning, and I really dare not imagine the future." I went to Yanjing in the middle of the month, you can go over together, have you considered advertising on CCTV? ”
The two received a call from Xiao Zhongjun during dinner, and in just three hours in the morning, there were more than 30,000 registered users of WeChat, ninety percent of them came from Xingang from the perspective of IP distribution, and more than half came from eight colleges and universities that were being promoted, which showed that this promotion activity was very successful.
In the first two weeks, there were only 20,000 registered users of WeChat, and today it ushered in the first peak, with more than 2 million domestic Internet users. But it can't be completely calculated according to this number, the gimmick of campus promotion is to save phone bills, in addition to the necessary computer courses, I am afraid that some new registered users have not been on the Internet before, Lu Xi is promoting micro-news at the same time, but also promoting the domestic network.
After listening to Yao Xiuqing's construction, Lu Xi shook his head with a smile and said: "Nowadays, the number of domestic netizens is too small, and the investment in CCTV advertising is too large, which is not cost-effective for Luzhu, and it is far less affordable than bus advertising and campus promotion. If there are sufficient funds, Lu Xi is willing to invest more in bus announcements and campus promotion in major cities across the country.
Lu Xi smiled again and said: "But I still want to go to Beijing with Sister Xiuqing, I can't be satisfied with the status quo, the campus promotion of Yanjing and Suizhou still needs to be done, so I have to arrange it in advance." ”
The two walked while talking, and a No. 17 bus came over, Lu Xi pulled Yao Xiuqing, who was stopping the car, and said with a smile: "Let's take the bus back." "I saw the advertisement in the No. 5 bus in the morning, but I didn't sit in the car and feel it myself, and he didn't know what the specific effect was.
Yao Xiuqing pulled Lu Xi into the car, there were still a lot of vacant seats in the car, but several young people were standing in the aisle staring at the handle advertisement and discussing with the people around them, in addition to the young people, there were also some middle-aged people who were also sitting there looking up at the advertisement, as if they were thinking about how to save phone bills.
Lu Xi stood holding her hand for a while, smiled at Yao Xiuqing with satisfaction, and pulled her to the back to sit down.
Yao Xiuqing sat by the window, waited for Lu Xi to call Xu Xian, and said in a low voice: "The advertisement is great, there should be another registration peak from today to the next few days, is the profit close?" ”
Lu Xi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The Internet is different from other traditional industries, with the promotion of advertising, it can only ensure that the registered users will continue to grow in the next year, but don't want to make a profit within a year." ”
In this era, you must be psychologically prepared to do this industry, Lu Xi is a person who has come over, far more clear than Zhang Chaoyang and others, he knows that as long as he can survive the next year or two, Weixin will have the hope of making a profit, of course, the premise is that Monternet can be launched smoothly.
"Can you hold on?" I only heard that the Internet burns money before, but now I can feel it personally, thinking of the technical ideas that Lu Xi said that could not be completed due to lack of funds, and only a small amount of advertising investment at this time, I am afraid that the more than three million in his hands will not last long.
"Save money and barely survive with a little work." Lu Xi can be regarded as self-comforting, he didn't think that Yao Xiuqing could invest money in again, after all, she is not a money printing machine.
originally planned to recruit three or five people, Lu Xi has also changed his mind, he doesn't care how many people are recruited, the technical department must have the ability to develop one or two projects at the same time, even if there are more than three million in hand, you can't do nothing. In order to survive, Luzhu also has to take over some website, programming, system integration and other related businesses, making money to supplement the company, and at the same time, let the technical staff gain some experience.
At the gate of Newport University, the two walked into the campus side by side. In the afternoon, the campus seemed a little quiet, the weather suddenly turned cold, and the students in the propaganda point also huddled in the awning to hide from the wind when no one came.
Lu Xi is not unkind, in such a weather, the students don't wear much, and they don't leave their posts, and he won't deduct other people's wages.
The two walked side by side to the door of the first canteen, and before anyone arrived at the propaganda point, a girl came out with a flyer and asked Lu Xi with a smile: "This classmate, do you know Weixin?" ”
When Yao Xiuqing saw the girl coming, she smiled and stood aside, as if she was giving Lu Xi a chance to tease this beautiful girl.
took the leaflet from the girl's hand, and listened to her description of the function of the micro-message like a lotus, Lu Xi felt that it was a pity that this girl did not do sales. After laughing for a while, he said, "I know some, I'm also using it, can I know your micro signal?" If there is something you don't understand in the future, I'll ask you again. ”
The girl didn't expect to be asked for a micro-signal at all, her pretty face was slightly red, and she gave people a little immature feeling. Glancing at Yao Xiuqing on the side of the road, she suddenly had a feeling of self-embarrassment in front of her, thinking that the two of them had just come over talking and laughing and were intimate, she was still wearing a men's windbreaker, and immediately threw Lu Xi a roll of her eyes, and said, "If she doesn't mind, I can give it to you." With that, he walked straight back.
The girl's speech was crisp and crisp, even if Yao Xiuqing stood three meters away, she could hear it clearly, Lu Xi didn't expect this girl to be so sharp, shrugged and smiled innocently at Yao Xiuqing, but Yao Xiuqing blushed slightly, don't turn her head and don't look at him.
It's not meal time, but there are many more people at the propaganda points downstairs in the dormitory than at the door of the cafeteria, and even if the weather is cold, the part-time students are doing their duty. The two of them stopped and walked until the propaganda point at the entrance of the third canteen, and they saw a scene they didn't want to see, and there was only one person at a propaganda point.
Lu Xi walked over with a smile on Yao Xiuqing's Nunu lips, and the boy in the propaganda point immediately handed him a leaflet when he saw someone coming.
Lu Xi put the flyer back, put away his smile and asked, "What about the others?" ”
Seeing the beautiful woman behind Lu Xi, the boy seemed to react, guessing that the two might be from the Green Bamboo Company, and replied with a slight embarrassment: "Few people came, and they were all playing cards in the cafeteria when it was cold." He pointed back to the cafeteria behind him.
There are three stacks of leaflets at each propaganda point, there are still two stacks of unopened in the awning in front of you, and there are almost four-fifths of the leaflets on the table.
The boy had the idea of calling someone out, Lu Xi stopped him, turned around and glanced at Yao Xiuqing, took out his mobile phone and called Sun Mingwei to ask her to come over and deal with it.
Sun Mingwei was at Xingang University, and it didn't take five minutes to rush over, Lu Xi told the matter again, and she entered the cafeteria with a cold face.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, Yao Xiuqing felt cold even if she was wearing a windbreaker, sat in the car to avoid the wind, and beckoned Lu Xi to go up.
After a while, Sun Mingwei walked out with an ugly face, and behind her were six boys, led by Song Qiuyang.
Lu Xi had already seen that Song Qiuyang was not a good bird, and said hatefully: "It's actually this bastard." ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw Song Qiuyang roaring with anger on his face: "If you don't give Lao Tzu money, don't promote it at Xingang University!" ”
After Song Qiuyang finished speaking, he raised his hand and threw out the leaflet on the table, and kicked the side of the awning fiercely. Xiaolongbao not only gave people a black color, but also customized inferior products, and actually kicked a hole out of it.
Regarding the cheating and slippery deposits, Sun Mingwei clearly told Chen Danying and others yesterday that he would refuse to use it again after he was caught deducting the salary of the day. Several boys deducted the day's salary, and they were angry, seeing that Song Qiuyang threw leaflets and smashed things without saying a word, and also overturned the awning directly with a hot head, and the table was knocked down. The boy who was inside before he had time to come out, and he screamed in the awning, and there was an awning to block it, and he couldn't see if he was injured.
Lu Xi wanted to get out of the car to stop him, but Yao Xiuqing was afraid that he would be beaten when he went out, so he pulled him and didn't let him go down.
At this time, Song Qiuyang arrogantly pointed at Sun Mingwei and snorted coldly: "I smashed your things, what can you do to me?" ”
Seeing Sun Mingwei respond, Song Qiuyang smiled proudly, turned his head and glanced at the car on the side, and suddenly there was someone in the car, and immediately came over and put his face on the window, seeing that it was Lu Xi and Yao Xiuqing, and stretched out two middle fingers to provoke, extremely arrogant.
