Because they needed to go back to work, Jiang Zhenghong and Yuan Youqin did not continue to stay in Linchuan, and returned to Jeju by car in the afternoon of the same day.

However, Linchuan's relatives were not idle during this time, and they called over one by one to ask for warmth.

"Lin Dehuai called, and wanted Jiang Qin to ask Lingling about work."

"Don't bother him, he's been busy enough these days, just send us down and go back to the office, how can you have time to this leisure, besides, it's not a real relative, Jiang Qin has kung fu It is better to take Nan Shu out for a walk."

Hearing Yuan Youqin say this, Jiang Zhenghong nodded, but still decided to find a weekend to talk to his son.

However, the two of them have not seen their son attend class in the past two days, so is it a difference for him to live on weekends and weekends?

Yuan Youqin couldn't get used to the aggressive appearance of her relatives here in Linchuan, but she was right in one sentence, Jiang Qin was indeed very busy in the next few days.

On October 10th, the registered users of Zhihu's website have exceeded the 5 million mark, and the speed has been increasing, in addition to the popularity and field verticality, the main reason is that the core community function of Zhihu has been built.

Animation, games, star chasing, technology, beauty, funny, dramas, emotions, social hotspots, sand sculpture videos.

After a year-long layout, Zhihu's community environment has been enriched enough to meet the daily entertainment needs of all college students.

Moreover, the Million Blogger Program has also successfully brought a wave of "registered users are content contributors" to create a wave of creation, building a version 1.0 of the self-media field, and gradually leading a new way of playing the Internet community.

Hui Huizi, who loves candy, Young Master Cao, hello weekend, Miao Miao is like smoke, gossip sister, beauty sister, I love watching cartoons......

Hundreds of creators from colleges and universities across the country shined, bringing the freshness and fun of Zhihu to an unimaginable height.

09 is indeed a year of blowout development of the Internet industry, but most companies that are new to the Internet field are crossing the river by feeling the stones, and they have not thought deeply about the development direction and audience field.

At this stage, Zhihu can be said to be the leader and the momentum is positive.

College students who have just experienced how wonderful the Internet world is have never seen this, and they are addicted to it, and they forget to sleep and eat.

Coupled with the update of the student status recommendation system, most college students in unpromoted areas have also been influenced by their old classmates and began to spontaneously become Zhihu users.

I don't know who proposed it, but anyway, by chance, for a while, someone suddenly began to call himself a "bosom friend".

"Are you a bosom friend?"

"I'll go, so coincidentally, you're also a close friend?"

As a result, a special small group that is popular among university groups and relies on the Zhihu Forum has been invisibly born.

Dong Wenhao will summarize some hot topics of Zhihu and submit them to Jiang Qin every month, on the one hand, to control the content trend of Zhihu, and on the other hand, to guide the topic in the later stage.

And when Jiang Qin saw the popularity of the topic of "bosom friends", he raised his eyebrows and sat on the boss's chair and pondered for nearly ten minutes.

Dong Wenhao didn't know what the boss was thinking, he kept standing next to him, and then he heard Jiang Qin suddenly say, help me make a call to Tan Qing and Maxvision Advertising Factory.

Two days later, the poster about the "Friends Offline Friendship Association" entered the university towns across the country.

Everyone got together, karaoke and watch movies, chat and brag, and the expenses were all borne by the group's sub-stations near various university towns, in addition, everyone who participated in the sorority party got a "bosom friend" custom T-shirt and exclusive micro-stamps.

And the only thing the friends have to do is to post photos of the sorority in the space.

In fact, there is no need to pay for this substation staff to explain this, and many people have participated in the party and sent dozens of spaces in a row.

"I went to the offline party organized by Zhihu today, and I was friendly and interesting, and I spoke well......

"The T-shirt sent by Zhihu is very beautiful, and it also comes with an exclusive badge, so I will wear it tomorrow and see how many friends I can meet."

"Thank you Zhihu, I have not been good at making friends over the years, and I have always dared to express my heart online, but I didn't expect that online friends can also enter life."

"My grass, my male god is also a bosom friend, and he is also a sand sculpture!"

"I met my ex-girlfriend at a friend gathering, and I found that she still knew me best, no wonder our online interaction would be so happy."

Tan Qing was actually a little stunned when he received the task, and said in his heart that the boss was so generous this time, and invited thousands of college students he didn't know to eat, drink and have fun.

As a result, not long after the end of the party, the technical team found that the registration curve of the forum began to rise unprecedentedly like an aphrodisiac, so that the server that Jiang Qin spent money on instantly faced great challenges.

In late October, Zhihu's registered users approached 8 million, and the number of views reached 90 million that day.

After the official promotion, the title of friend began to resound in the forum, and it has also become the most popular hot word among college students.

On October 18, an art academy in Kyoto was about to hold a public exhibition, and Dong Wenhao was called.

On the same day, a professor who specializes in giving lectures in colleges and universities also called Wei Lanlan.

On October 19th, a cos exhibition in Kyoto......

On the same day, a month-long cultural exhibition was held......

There are also some fast-moving brands, sporting goods, educational institutions, job search websites, travel agencies, investment institutions...... I also started to call frequently, hoping to cooperate with Zhihu.

You have to ask how much advertising money Jiang Qin earned during that time? I don't know, many, many are it.

However, these things are equivalent to giveaways for Jiang Qin, and what really satisfies him is the current number of users and stickiness.

09 is indeed the best time to devote yourself to the Internet industry, but there are really few people who can achieve such a blowout development as Zhihu, so this campus website began to become famous, and gradually entered the public eye and was seen by more and more people.

"The founder of Zhihu has a deep understanding of the Internet, and he understands user preferences very well, which is very fatal."

"If you look at the website carefully, you can see that its basic framework was built at the beginning, which means that Zhihu is what the founders originally wanted to achieve."

"Don't think it's easy, in fact, it's very difficult to get the focus right from the moment you go."

"Why? Because the trend of the Internet is uncontrollable and unpredictable, but now, there are individuals who are using their own ideas to guide the Internet popularity. ”

"Can you imagine a farmer who decides before planting the seeds when it will rain and when it won't?"

"Yes, the monetization ability of this website is indeed very poor, and the poor is worrying, but if he can focus on this field, he will definitely be the first share in the social field of college students in the future."

In late October, cold air hit and the country began to cool down generally, but the heat on the Internet topic continued unabated.

Because Zhihu has entered the public's field of vision like a bamboo, an Internet expert also expressed his views on Zhihu in the headlines of the entrepreneurship sector.

And some other related newspapers also have some reports about the Zhihu website.

For example, some reprinted Zhihu content, analyzing why this website is favored by college students, and listing college students' entrepreneurial projects, Zhihu will be cited every time.

There are also some people, who don't know where to get the news, but they know that the context from the beginning to the present is clearly sorted out, and there are some things that even Jiang Qin feels surprised, and his heart is true and false.

However, there are also those who believe that it is unlikely that a sophomore can come up with such a website, and that it is probably just a gimmick.

Because of its popularity, and the fact that Zhihu is indeed getting more and more popular, there are many media outlets that want to interview Jiang Qin.

Face-to-face interviews are best, and if you really don't have time, then telephone interviews are fine.

If Jiang Qin used to make a fortune, he really wouldn't accept these interviews, because the longer Gou stayed, the safer he was, but this time, Jiang Qin didn't hide anymore, but responded to these interview requests very positively.

It's the end of October, and it's getting colder, and in two months, '09 will be a thing of the past, and 10 years will be on the way.

At this juncture, Jiang Qin wants to use Zhihu to attract the attention of the public and lay the groundwork for the promotion of the group.

"Classmate Jiang, what is your purpose in doing Zhihu?"

"It's to make it easy for college students to have a free conversation environment, and to make making friends a simple thing."

"Does the current Zhihu meet your psychological expectations?"

"Not only did it meet my expectations, I think it even exceeded my original expectations."

"Why do you say that?"

"I am the decider of the framework and the builder of the platform, but the wonderful content and the hot topics are all done by all the "friends", and I am sometimes really surprised that there are so many endless talents in contemporary college students. ”

"What is the future direction of Zhihu, can you reveal it?"

"I hope that the existence of Zhihu can make the lives of college students more diverse and make friends more extensive, which is the original intention and direction that Zhihu has always adhered to and will not change."

Around the time of the frost day, the people of 208 sat around the office, watching the interview with Jiang Qin by Focus News, and let out a snort.

Don't say it, the boss's appearance in a suit and leather shoes is really photogenic, he must have spent money to bribe the makeup artist.

On the other side, under Zhang Baiqing's instructions, these interview clips began to roll through the cafeteria again.

In the unremarkable O9 year, it seems that Jiang Qin's name is all in Linchuan University, but if someone pays attention to it, they will find that some things have begun to change.

At the beginning of this year, everyone mentioned Jiang Qin and said that he was the one who founded the group, but before the end of the year, everyone's introduction to him became the one who founded Zhihu.

At the same time, Wei Lanlan - the Ministry of Commerce of the Group - Zhihu's first stop marketing - Linchuan local brand line is not idle.

Jia Duoji has developed the character of "hot pot partner" and "de-fire herbal tea" in college, and is currently placing TV commercials, and Kang Mailang has gradually occupied the college student market with the way of "upgrading outfit and large discounts".

In fact, there are many brand owners who don't pay much attention to the student group, because in their eyes, the consumption power of this group is still very low, and because of this, the lethality of the first shot seized by the market is amazing, but it is as silent as installing a silencer.

However, some supply chains that are not at the end are beginning to show their signs.

"Brother Wang, I'm here to deliver again."

"Xiao Li, next time, there will be a few more boxes of Kang Mai Lang's upgraded outfits, there will be fewer other brands, and that instant noodles, all of them will be replaced by a bucket and a half of Kang Mai Lang's braised eggs."

"Oh, okay......"

Xiao Li, who was in charge of the delivery, took out a memo and hurriedly wrote down the requirements of the campus convenience store owner.

In addition, Xi Tian, Heli Lao, Green Pepper Grilled Fish and Burger King are also riveting their efforts to open stores around the university town, and then launch joint marketing.

Drink milk tea and get coupons for the other three, eat hot pot grilled fish, and you can also choose sweet lemon tea, Kangmailang iced black tea and Jia Duoji.

In addition, they have put on the shelves a membership card called "Xihan Heqing" in each university town business district, one card and four stores, and there will be white prostitution activities from time to time.

According to the memories of a junior college student, I remember that when these four stores first opened, the whole street was queuing, crowded with other businesses, especially the sweet rose taro, which was simply crazy, and even some students began to be scalpers, specializing in selling queue numbers.
