Chapter 47: Unexpected Customers
thought that after revealing his identity, Zhang Zhengdong would agree to meet without hesitation, but Lu Xi didn't think that his sincerity would be rejected several times in a row. Looking at the message in the dialog box, Lu Xi turned off the computer speechlessly, thinking that even if OICQ had just been launched, with the purpose of trying to raise it, that group of people would have already regarded Weixin as a very advantageous competitor.
OICQ suddenly went online ahead of schedule, and Weixin had another competitor, Lu Xi couldn't talk about panic, but he refused to Zhang Zhengdong before he met, and he was a little disappointed in his heart, and he was a little annoyed at this time that he shouldn't have said his identity directly, maybe he might deceive people in that way.
Stepping on the afterglow of the winter sun back to the hotel, opening the door, seeing Yang Wenfang bored flipping through the map of Pengcheng, Lu Xi hung the windbreaker on the hanger, gently pushed open the door of the inner bedroom and saw that Wan'er was sleeping soundly, closed the door and turned around and said: "There is a local company in Pengcheng today launched a new instant messaging software, the function is not as good as WeChat, but it is far better than PICQ, Internet Genie and PCICQ, the future may pose a threat to us, you go to contact Pengcheng's bus advertising agency now, There must also be investment in the advertising here. ”
Even though OICQ has just been launched and cannot compete with Weixin in the near future, no one knows what kind of situation it will develop in the future. In terms of technology, they have Zhang Zhengdong, a big bull, and Pengcheng is the forefront of domestic reform and opening up, across the river from Hong Kong, with rapid economic development, high network coverage, and many IT companies, at this time the local population plus the floating population has nearly four million, it can be said that in addition to Yanjing, Xingang and Suizhou, this is the fourth potential market.
Lu Xi didn't want to give up this market to them, even if the company's funds were not enough at the moment to cover the entire city, but it could always play a role.
Yang Wenfang blinked suspiciously, seeing that Lu Xi didn't look like he was lying, he smiled and said, "You want people to die halfway, but you lack morality." ”
Lu Xi smiled and said, "It's not that we didn't leave them a way to live, Pengcheng's campus promotion, let's not do it, leave it to them to do." ”
Yang Wenfang covered his mouth and smiled, stretched out his thin finger and pointed at the map and said, "After looking for a long time, I only saw one university." ”
How could Lu Xi not know that there was only one university in Pengcheng, and urged her to contact the agency with a smile, and when Yang Wenfang returned to her room, Lu Xi picked up the phone and asked the main station to dial the outside line to Sun Mingwei.
Recently, the number of micro-message users has continued to grow, and there will be an increase of 10,000 to 20,000 every day, and the total number of users has been close to 500,000, and OICQ has just been launched, no one has registered for seven or eight hours, and it cannot be compared with Weixin in terms of function, if there is no life to read Lu Xi will ignore it, but he is a reborn after all, far better than anyone to understand the development trajectory of OICQ, in the previous lifeOICQ was also rising against the trend in the situation that was not favored by everyone, as a leading enterprise in the field of instant messaging in China, It is the storage of the super giant, even if it is still a little bug with no feet at this time, it should not be taken too lightly, let it absorb enough nutrients to thrive, and bring a threat to Weixi.
Sun Mingwei sat at the desk and patted his smooth forehead gently, and said helplessly: "I wouldn't tell you if I knew it." ”
As the fourth Chinese version of the instant messaging software, Weixin later pressed other competitors behind her, not giving the other party more hope, she notified Lu Xi of the news of OICQ's launch, originally thought that Lu Xi would not take it seriously, who thought he would attach so much importance to it.
In addition to the hard conditions such as capital and technology, there is also an indispensable element of luck for Internet companies to develop and grow. Lu Xi smiled and said: "No one knows what the future will look like, give the opponent a chance, the future is the one who suffers, even if the company's funds are tight now, we must do what we should do." ”
Lu Xi had already decided, and Sun Mingwei couldn't disagree, asking, "What's the budget?" ”
"500,000 should be about the same." Lu Xi regretted it a little at this time, he didn't bring Pengcheng with him when he came to Suizhou to talk about advertising before, and now it's impossible to do free advertising.
After chatting with Sun Mingwei for a few more words, Wan'er woke up and came out of the inner bedroom, rubbing her eyes with her little hands, and stood at the door staring at Lu Xi.
Lu Xi hung up the phone, and Wan'er pouted and asked, "When will Mom come back?" I just dreamed of my mother. ”
Lu Xi walked over and squatted in front of Wan'er, and said with a smile: "When Mom comes back for Christmas, Mom will give you a gift." ”
Speaking of Christmas, Lu Xi glanced at the calendar on his watch, there are less than ten days left, Meng Xia's Christmas holiday has begun, and she will arrive in Xingang the day after tomorrow, and she should be able to go to the airport to pick her up after being busy.
Yang Wenfang contacted the advertising agency, Lu Xi was anxious to rush back tomorrow, and asked Yang Wenfang to make an appointment to meet the other party at the hotel tonight.
At dinner that day, the two sides sat down to negotiate the price, signed the contract the next morning, and Lu Xi and the three returned to Xingang at noon.
Back at the company, Sun Mingwei watched Lu Xi and the three of them come in, and said with a smile: "You didn't run in vain this time." ”
"I spent 700,000 yuan, and I really didn't run in vain." Lu Xi smiled bitterly, Suizhou colleges and universities have to pay 150,000 yuan to the planning company for promotion, Pengcheng's bus advertisements, ten class A route carriage handle advertisements and a class A route body advertisement, plus a commercial district main street site advertising, counting the total cost of 550,000 yuan, the price is not expensive, but it costs 700,000 yuan to go out for a turn, which also makes the company's finances quite tight.
"If you know, it's good." Sun Mingwei chuckled, looked at Lu Xi and said, "Oh, I have good news to tell you, there is an electronics company in Suizhou that wants to advertise on WeChat in the morning, I sent the quotation over, just before you came in, the branch here in Xingang has contacted me and asked me to come over tomorrow afternoon to negotiate." ”
"You and Wen Fang are responsible." Lu Xi put Wan'er on the desk, helped her take off her scarf and hat, and saw Sun Mingwei pouting at him, and said with a smile: "I'm just a programmer." ”
"You don't want to ask which appliance company it is?" Seeing that Lu Xi was not surprised, Sun Mingwei still had a light smile on his face, and there was a mysterious question hidden in his eyes, deliberately hanging his appetite.
Lu Xi stared at Sun Mingwei twice, turned around and leaned on the desk, and asked, "It won't be backgammon, right?" ”
Sun Mingwei was slightly stunned, his thin lips opened slightly, and he said in surprise: "Have you contacted Suizhou?" She pretended to be mysterious here, and she guessed it for Lu Xi once, and she could only think that they had gone to Suizhou to contact backgammon.
Lu Xi shook his head and smiled: "I'll just say it, it's really backgammon?" It's hard to believe. Only then did I understand the meaning of Sun Mingwei's words when they came in.
In mid-November, BBK spent 160 million yuan to win the bid at the CCTV advertising bidding conference, in addition to the prime-time advertising of the bid king, CCTV also has the rest of the advertising gifts, in addition, BBK should have other forms of advertising investment, Lu Xi did not expect that they would take a fancy to the emerging network platform, let alone expect that they would fancy the micro-message, but think about the backgammon if it is advertised in the micro-message, it is likely to be invested in Sohu and other websites.
The specific negotiations have not yet begun, and it is not clear what form of advertising BBK will do and how much revenue it can bring to WeChat, but in any case, BBK is a large manufacturer, and it doesn't matter how much or little is invested, it can play a role in promoting the advertising business of WeChat.
I don't know what Lu Xi was thinking, Sun Mingwei asked: "With a big manufacturer like BBK, you don't participate in the negotiations?" ”
"Uh......, I'm not going, I'm a little kid and people will think we don't pay attention to it." Lu Xi laughed twice, stroked Wan'er's soft hair and said, "Besides, I still have private things to do tomorrow afternoon." ”
"Well, you can't be counted on to make money." Sun Mingwei smiled bitterly, looking at Wan'er sticking to Lu Xi's side, thinking that Lu Xi's participation in the negotiation was nothing, young people were everywhere, but with Wan'er participating in the negotiation, it was a little too much to say, the first advertising business could not be lost because of this.
Lu Xi took Wan'er into his arms, found a comfortable position to sit on the chair, and said with a smile: "Now that I'm a nanny, I can't take care of other things." ”
"Liar, didn't you say you were going to pick up your beautiful sister!" Wan'er knew Sun Mingwei early on, and she was more lively than in front of others, so she opened her mouth and told Lu Xi's secret.
Sun Mingwei pursed his lips and smiled, Lu Xi laughed dryly twice and wanted to expose the topic, and asked, "How is the preparation of the new company?" What name does Hong Xuedong want to use to register? ”
"Don't change the subject, a girl came over in the morning and left you a letter." Sun Mingwei took out an envelope from the drawer and shook it in his hand, and laughed again, "You don't have a lot of fancy eyes, little cousin, Jing Ran, and this girl, wherever you put it, it is for thousands of people to chase after your ass, you spend money to hire someone to accompany the chat, it is better for you to go to the girl to be a companion, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the company." ”
Chen Danying and Jing Ran Sun Mingwei have both seen it, Lu Xi didn't know who would send him a letter, seeing that Sun Mingwei didn't mean to give him the letter, he smiled and said: "My jade tree is in the wind, and I am suave, it may be that a girl has a crush on me, send me a letter of invitation, or Sister Sun will open it and take a look." ”
"Say you're fat and you're still panting!" Sun Mingwei threw the letter over, "No one cares about your, go negotiate with BBK tomorrow, I will take the car and use it, you leave the key for me." ”
Lu Xi smiled and took out the car keys from the drawer and threw them over, threw the letter into the drawer again, turned around and said: "You are the manager of the company, after New Year's Day, Sister Sun will go out to run more customers, whether it is advertising business or other business orders, you have to earn the money from your salary." ”
I don't know how much Yao Xiuqing will increase her capital when she comes back from Taiwan, let alone expect her capital increase to survive two years, and at present, there are not enough WeChat users, and the launch of some profit points will not be too good, so I can only work hard in this regard.
Sun Mingwei wanted to throw the monitor on Lu Xi's face, but he had always been so lazy, and she didn't have a problem, so she took the key and sat down angrily and ignored him.
