Chapter 82 The battle begins. Proud of you!

Lin Xiao walked back to the company, and he walked very fast at first.

There was still a trace of grief and anger in my heart.

Although this decision was what he wanted in his heart, he still felt ashamed and angry when he was exposed and despised.

But soon he asked himself.

Is it true that I have not been slacking off recently because of Lian Zheng's favor?

Did he really not have any illusions about the order that Lian Zheng was about to provide, or even a little bit of dependence? This was a business, using hundreds of thousands of dollars of capital and the future and fate of more than a dozen people to win a brand new business model. How could he be distracted? How could he not bet everything on it? How could he do his best?

After Lin Xiao returned to the company.

Xia Xi said: "Three things. The first thing, you already know, Sina has removed our recommended position, which is our largest source of traffic, so the upward momentum has been temporarily curbed."

"The second thing is that three corporate executives just came to visit us and invited us to help them build a website and operate it on their behalf."

"The total amount of the three orders added up to 350,000."

"Pay 30% deposit first, and then pay the remaining 70% after everything is done."

"However, they secretly had a condition that the 30% deposit would be used as their personal kickback."

Lin Xiao smiled, it was so normal.

"What is their attitude? Have they carefully read our Southeast Information Port?"

Xia Xi said, "No, they just didn't take it seriously. They acted like nobody's business. They even said they were sending their regards to Secretary Lian on behalf of their boss."

Got it.

In order to please Lian Zheng, the CEOs of these three companies gave the order to Southeast Information Port even though there was no real need to create an official website.

The executives sent to make the contact felt that they needed to make a profit from it, so they treated the deposit as a kickback.

"Do you want to take these three orders?" Xia Xi asked, "Those three people are still waiting for my reply in the reception room, and I'll flirt with Taozi and Qu Feifei by the way."

Lin Xiao thought of Shu Wan's words. This order worth more than 300,000 yuan was an explanation for this fate.

Or to put it more bluntly, it means buying out this relationship.

The company really needs this money right now, and giving a 30% kickback is also normal.

There are even higher numbers, because in the eyes of these executives, this is almost the same as giving money to Southeast Information Port, and it all depends on relationships.

Lian Zheng felt that Lin Xiao was very talented and the website was very well done, so this was a mutually beneficial transaction.

In the other party’s view, the so-called corporate website is not important at all, and they don’t care how well Lin Xiao’s Southeast Information Port is.

"What happened just now?" Xia Xi asked.

Lin Xiao said: "Secretary Lian Zheng's wife forced me to break up with Lian Yi."

Xia Xi was stunned: "Isn't your girlfriend Paopao?"

“Uh…” Lin Xiao: “Actually, Lian Yi and I didn’t start out together.”

Xia Xi said: "Although it sounds a bit sad, I don't know why, I still want to beat you up."

"Your family is very poor, how did you learn to be such a scumbag?"

"Okay, you don't have to decide." Xia Xi said, "I'll make the decision for you. Reject these three orders."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's settled."

Lin Xiao said: "But the company really needs money now, how much money do we have in the account?"

"Three hundred and sixty thousand." Xia Xi said, "This time I went to Hangzhou to buy equipment, and I spent nearly a hundred thousand in total. You said it must be professional and good."

Lin Xiao grinned.

In other words, the funds on the company's books can only support about three or four months at most.

Xia Xi suddenly said: "Lin Xiao, we started this business for money, but more importantly, it is to prove ourselves, right?"

“Create new business models and turn the blueprint in your mind into reality.”

“Success that cannot be verified is just self-satisfaction.”

"There's only a fine line between genius and madness. Everything we do is to prove that we are geniuses, right?"

"So we put aside the orders worth more than 200,000 yuan and tried our best to run and develop our business."

"We only have four programmers, and you are five at most. How can we split our time to create and operate three websites?"

“Extreme concentration leads to extreme success.”

Lin Xiao said: "Okay."

Xia Xi opened her arms and said, "Come, give me a hug."

Then she took it back: "Uh, forget it!"

"You are so young and you are already two-timing. I can't treat you as a child."

Lin Xiao said speechlessly: "Don't worry, I completely treat you as a family member. Incest is absolutely unacceptable."

Xia Xi turned her face to the side and said slowly: "Don't say such things."

Lin Xiao said: "Sorry, I am being too polite."

Xia Xi said: "That's not what I meant. It's because when you said that, I felt a sense of excitement."

Suddenly, Lin Xiao was speechless.

The image of Xia Xi in front of him became more and more three-dimensional and complex.

At the beginning, she was purely neutral, cold, and a super strong woman.

It was cool, beautiful, and aggressive. But now it has become a little abstract.

"The third thing." Xia Xi said: "I went to the Huanglong Hotel and booked room 609 opposite room 608."

Suddenly, Lin Xiao sat up straight. He had to pay attention to this matter.

Xia Xi continued: "That woman really has bad intentions."

"She was holding a high-voltage electric shock device at all times. I went to open her door and we met face to face."

She almost used the stun gun on me.

You put such an important thing last?

"Did you see her face clearly?" Lin Xiao asked quickly.

"No." Xia Xi said: "From beginning to end, she wore a scarf, a mask, sunglasses, and her entire body was covered with a black Burberry windbreaker. Of course, I did the same."

"But I might, probably, smell her."

Xia Xi said: "I can't guarantee it."

Lin Xiao: “Who is it?”

Xia Xi: "Li Shuang, the leading actress of the city TV station."

What? ! ! Lin Xiao was shocked. She? We were together for a long time today? And why did she want to deal with me?

"She also attended Lian Yi's concert today and sat next to me most of the time." Lin Xiao said.

Xia Xi asked: "Was he also with you at two o'clock in the afternoon?"

Lin Xiao said: "I went out to buy flowers at 13:40, and when I returned it was around 14:15, and she was also returning from buying flowers."

Xia Xi said: "It's more than 300 meters from Jinyi Cinema to the Concert Hall, and the distance from Huanglong Hotel to the Concert Hall is only 400 meters."

Then, Xia Xi placed a map of Hangzhou city in front of Lin Xiao, marking the locations of three places.

They are indeed very close.

Lin Xiao said: "But it's very strange. I met her several times and she never had any hostility towards me from beginning to end."

Xia Xi said: "The reason is very simple, because she doesn't know that Ergou is you."

"Her hostility is only directed at Ergou, not at you."

"She wants to deal with Ergou, not Lin Xiao."

Lin Xiao asked: "How can you be sure it's her?"

Xia Xi said, "The last time Secretary Lian and Minister Li visited our company, you didn't attend on the rooftop, but she was there. Her perfume is very special, it's Loewe's men's perfume. It's very rare for a woman to wear men's perfume."

Lin Xiao asked: "You also know so much about men's perfume?"

Xia Xi said: "Because I sprayed too."

Well?!

Are all you strong women like this?

Lin Xiao asked: "Is it just based on the taste?"

Xia Xi said: "Not only that, but also her butt."

"Among the women you have met so far, are there any with a butt as big and perky as hers?"

Lin Xiao recalled and it seemed that there really wasn’t any.

Xia Xi said: "Her butt is so round and big that it can't even be covered by the windbreaker, and her belt is tied quite tight."

"So she is different from me. She cares a lot about her figure and beauty."

"So there is a 70% chance that it is Li Shuang!"

"Two characteristics: men's perfume and a big butt."

Lin Xiao was puzzled, as there was not even the slightest connection between Ergou and Li Shuang.

Why is she targeting herself?

Xia Xi said: "Next, we need to confirm whether this woman is Li Shuang? What is her intention towards you? Why does she want to deal with you?"

Lin Xiao immediately picked up the computer and connected the proxy IP, which was still the IP of Hefei University of Science and Technology.

Then log into QQ and see if the butterfly that can't fly across the sea is online.

Not online.

Lin Xiao sent a message directly.

Ergou: Are you having fun this afternoon?

As a result, the other party did not respond.

Instead, it was Paopao who was online. When he saw Ergou online, he immediately sent a message.

Bubble: Husband (shy ING)

Ergou: Baby.

Bubble: I have that tape with me and I’m still listening to it. You sang really well. I will remember everything that happened today for the rest of my life. Even if I end up with nothing in this life, I will rely on the memory of today to keep going.

Bubble: It’s also very strange. After I got home today, my mother was extremely nice to me. I’m totally not used to it. She also mentioned you several times, and her words implied that she was very supportive of me dating you.

Bubble: I really don’t know what she was thinking, and I don’t know what happened.

For Li Fangfang, finding a man who loves her daughter the most is the most important thing.

Good character, talent, and enough love for her.

The key is that Li Fangfang herself is a woman, so it’s easy to empathize with her.

Ergou: Baby, I may be very busy in the next six months or so, and may have less time to chat with you.

Bubble: Do you want to focus on your career? I'm easy to support, a few thousand yuan a month is enough.

Bubble: Do you need money? I have...

She left the computer desk and went to look for her passbook. When she saw the numbers on it, she was confused.

I, do I only have this much money? My annual New Year's money and two years' salary are also included?

Did you use it to buy clothes and sell skin care products? Paopao: I have 36,000 yuan here. What's your account number? I'll transfer the money to you.

Ergou: Fool.

Ergou: I have two ideals, one is you, the other is my career. Now that one is completed, I will go to attack the other one.

If other girls heard this, they would be very unhappy. Who am I? I am the target of attack? And we just kissed, shouldn't you be more protective of me? What do you mean by completed? Ergou: You are beautiful, and I hope you will be beautiful all your life, so this requires a lot of support. I hope to make you proud, your parents proud, and our future children proud.

This passage is totally different from the previous love words. It is not so gorgeous, nor is it so well written.

But, it seemed to hit Bubble's heart even more.

After a long while.

Bubble: I love you!

Bubble: I understand, I comprehend, let your Bubble help you.

Next, Bubble racked his brains to think of how to help Ergou.

She immediately thought of two solutions.

The first method is to print a lot of flyers and post them on the wall whenever you get the chance.

The second method was that she went to websites such as Rongshuxia to write novels, romance novels, and then put advertisements for Itch.com in the content of the novels.

At this time, Li Fangfang came in with a bowl of soup and said, "Baby, drink the soup."

Momo felt even more weird because her mother hadn't called her baby for a long time.

She instinctively wanted to block the computer so that her mother wouldn't see the content of her chat with Ergou, but Li Fangfang said, "We're still chatting, keep chatting, keep chatting."

At this time, Xiao Wanli passed by and came over to ask, "Paopao, did you buy clothes in Hangzhou today? Did you buy any satisfactory and nice clothes? Do you want your parents to accompany you next week?"

Well?!

Bubble was embarrassed. She said she went to Hangzhou to buy clothes and skin care products, but she forgot everything.

After listening to the song in the cinema, getting the tape back, and receiving the envy and blessings of all the girls, she felt light and happy. She bought the ticket sweetly and went back to Linshan, forgetting about buying clothes.

But she's not very good at lying.

Li Fangfang next to her said, "Why are you asking so many questions? You also have to control your daughter's shopping for clothes."

Xiao Wanli was puzzled and asked casually, "Why are you so fierce?"

He suddenly felt that Li Fangfang was a little dissatisfied with him.

Li Fangfang really thought so: there would be no harm without comparison.

She also thought Xiao Wanli was a good guy before, but now, in comparison, she feels that her husband is just a piece of wood and has no interest at all.

Our Bubble is still the cutest and most beautiful, and can attract the best boys.

While drinking the soup, Bubble felt even more confused.

What happened? Mom is acting weird.

…………………………

Next, Xia Xi went to the reception room and directly rejected the proposal of the three corporate executives.

Rejected these three orders.

The three executives were surprised. Are you crazy? If Secretary Lian hadn't said hello, how could you have earned this money? Is a 30% kickback too much for us?

Then the three men left angrily.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In the evening, the company was having a meeting.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn and warm.

"At present, because Sina's recommended position has been removed, our visit volume has continued to decline. If there is no intervention, it will probably fall back to around 10,000 IP addresses per day."

“Of course, this retention rate is already very impressive, proving that the quality of our website is very high.”

"However, this traffic is far from enough. Our initial goal is 50,000 IPs, the mid-term goal is 100,000 IPs, and the long-term goal is 200,000 IPs."

"Because we have calculated that with 50,000 daily IP addresses, we can barely support the development of our company. Only with 100,000 IP addresses can we develop well."

"We still have 360,000 yuan in our company's account, which is enough for us to burn for about four months!"

“Time waits for no one!”

“So, we begin the first phase of the campaign.”

"The Battle of Traffic Mountain!"

"The campaign goal is to break through 100,000 IPs within a month, and the company will start making money!"

Everyone looked at each other and said, if we don’t invest in hao123 and spend money on major search engines, it will be too difficult to break through 100,000 daily IPs in a month.

The last time Xia Xi and his team started a business, with such a large team and spending so much money, they ultimately failed to break through 100,000 IPs per day.

Lin Xiao said: "I plan to divide this Traffic Mountain Battle into three steps."

"The first step is to occupy the university's men's restroom!"

"There are several cities in our country with a population of over 10 million, and there are hundreds of universities in total, covering a population of several million."

"These college students, and even their teachers, are our mainstream user group."

"Our website has a very notable feature, which is that it is highly targeted and attractive, but lacks exposure."

"The two are highly compatible, but what they lack is an opportunity to discover us."

"The time spent squatting is extremely boring, and they will not miss even a small piece of paper. So we put small advertisements on the door in front of the squat toilet, with tempting slogans, such as Shu Qi's lips are really thick, Guan Zhilin's there is a little dark, and our website is very simple, so they will definitely remember it. Even if they are curious, they will go to the Internet cafe or open it on their own computer to try it out."

“And once we open our website, I believe some of it will not go away and will remain.”

"Public toilets in universities are very dense. In Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing and Xi'an alone, public toilets in universities can serve nearly one million people in a single day."

"We can employ about 100 part-time college students to post posters in thousands of men's public toilets and cover millions of people in one day. This is faster than any search engine."

“The second step of the campaign is to go viral.”

"We took the initiative to advertise, but people didn't like it and deleted us."

"I have written three novels: Feng Yue, Jiang Shan, and Jin Lin."

It is still a wild age for online literature. These three wonderful books were first published on Taiwan, and later pirated copies were circulated back to the domestic Internet.

It can be said that it has swept the entire Internet, with more than tens of millions of readers.

Today's online novels are still in their infancy, and these three books are super-hit products that have killed all.

Of course, Lin Xiao's version is much more restrained in that aspect; it's just a erotic novel and won't cross the line.

But the standards in China in 2001 were also quite high. And the plots of these three books are also very good.

"I originally planned to make money from Panda Burning Incense, but failed, so I took the three books to Taiwan to publish and earn my first pot of gold."

"Now is the perfect time to use it. Each of these three books has more than 100,000 manuscripts."

"We will first actively place ads on various literary websites and literary forums. These three books will definitely become popular. Countless forum moderators will repost them crazily and spread them virally, because for them, this is traffic."

"And in the manuscripts of these three books, I will do everything I can to insert advertisements for our website wherever possible."

"When these three books become popular, we will launch a subcategory on our website, a column for erotic novels."

“Then we will release new chapters of these three books first, because we are original, and then countless readers will flock to our website.”

"As for the third step, it's about making money."

"Let's finish the first two steps first!"

"Feng Xian, go contact the small advertisers in these cities now, and have them go to the public toilets of various universities tomorrow to place our small advertisements."

“Is there any problem?”

Feng Xian said: "No problem."

Next, Feng Xian immediately went out to make phone calls to small advertisers in major cities, because when he was working on the city portal website, he had a lot of cooperation with these people and invested an unknown amount of money.

About ten minutes later, he came back.

"Boss, they are willing to do this job and are happy to do it."

"However, this level of investment will cost about 20,000 yuan tomorrow."

Twenty thousand?! The company only has 360,000 yuan on its books.

"Do it!" Lin Xiao said, "Transfer the money!"

Xia Xi said: "Feng Xian, tell them to do it! Give them a deposit immediately."

"Let them print our flyers overnight, and we'll immediately provide more than a dozen different slogans."

"Move, move..."

Lightning Company's Traffic Mountain Campaign has officially begun! The goal is 100,000 IP daily traffic! If we don't succeed, we will die! On this day, everyone worked until about 3 a.m.

…………………………

The next day, Lin Xiao dragged his extremely tired body to school for class.

Li Mingchao announced the scores of the third monthly exam.

"First place: Lian Yi, 688 points."

Everyone was amazed. Is there no limit to her performance? She improved with every test? And the harder the test, the higher her score.

At least when it comes to studying, she is a genius.

In fact, she is not only a genius in studying, but also in playing the piano, as Lin Xiao just witnessed yesterday.

It's just a pity that her position is now vacant.

Shu Wan acted decisively and transferred schools immediately after saying so.

"Second place: Zhu Hongbin, 663 points."

Zhu Hongbin looked at Lian Yi's empty seat, feeling sad.

"Third place Lin Xiao, 649 points."

Everyone was shocked.

All eyes turned to Lin Xiao, Brother Xiao, please retract your magical powers.

Do you have to be so awesome? The score of 606 in the last midterm exam shocked us.

I thought it would be great if you got 620 points in the exam this time.

Who would have thought that it would soar to 649 points.

Is there any limit to your progress?

Li Mingchao sighed and looked at Lin Xiao with eyes full of sympathy and regret.

Early this morning, Lian Yi's mother Shu Wan called Zhang Qizhao and said that Lian Yi was going to transfer to another school.

The reason was that her grandmother had fallen and Lian Yi would have no one to take care of her in the future, and Kecheng No. 1 Middle School was closer to home.

Zhang Qizhao finally asked carefully, is it related to Lin Xiao?

The other party was silent.

Therefore, there was a lot in Li Mingchao's gaze towards Lin Xiao at this moment.

Sympathy, encouragement.

Schools recognize test scores, but society does not.

So, Lin Xiao, you have to be very outstanding, very outstanding, to catch the eyes of some people.

You must not be defeated.

Instead, you have to be stronger and excellent to a certain extent before you can convince others.

……………………

Lin Xiao went and knocked on the door of the principal Zhang Qizhao.

"Come in."

"Student Lin Xiao, you have made great progress in this exam. That's really remarkable."

Zhang Qizhao is still very enthusiastic.

Lin Xiao said: "Principal, I want to give up the quota for the city-level three-good student."

Zhang Qizhao asked, "Why? There's no need for that. Did you hear some gossip?"

"Don't worry, there was a lot of controversy down there, but after your monthly exam results came out, the controversy almost disappeared."

“It’s true that there are people who have better grades than you, but you have the greatest potential.”

"Don't worry about the controversy. What's yours is yours."

Lin Xiao said: "Principal, I want to take a sick leave until next June."

"I will definitely participate in the New Concept Essay Competition next April and strive to win the first prize to bring honor to the school."

"In the college entrance examination next July, I will do my best to get a very high score, and even help our Linshan No. 1 Middle School surpass Kecheng No. 1 Middle School."

"But I'm going to give up this city-level three-good student title. After all, it would be unfair to me if I have to take a leave of absence."

Zhang Qizhao's expression became serious, and he said slowly: "Why do you want to take sick leave?"

Lin Xiao was silent for a while and then said, "Do you know Southeast Information Port?"

Zhang Qizhao nodded and said, "I know. I saw it on TV."

Lin Xiao said: "That was jointly run by Xia Xi and I. Now the company is at a critical juncture of life and death. I must do my best to help the company develop and get through this critical period."

"But please rest assured that I will not let you down in the New Concept Essay Competition or the future college entrance examination."

Zhang Qizhao looked at Lin Xiao in disbelief.

Then, he immediately went to the computer and opened the official website of Southeast Information Port.

Sometimes he looked at Lin Xiao, sometimes he looked at the website.

He had also heard that Lin Xiao often skipped evening self-study to go to the Internet cafe to make websites. It was a crime before, but now it is just a funny thing to say.

I originally thought that Lin Xiao was just making a small move, but I didn't expect it to be so big.

A high school student actually founded an Internet company and created such a professional website.

This is too horrifying.

This is so outstanding.

He originally thought that Lin Xiao was already very remarkable, but he didn't expect him to be so remarkable.

After a long while, Zhang Qizhao said, "Can I think about it for a while?"

Lin Xiao said: "Okay."

Then he exited the office.

A few hours later! Lin Xiao received a call from Zhang Qizhao.

"Lin Xiao, I agree."

"I'll let you take a half-year break from school, but you can still come once or twice."

"You still have to get the honor of this city-level three-good student."

"Please believe me, I was utilitarian towards you at first, but now I just want to see you grow."

“Please run your company well. I hope that in the near future, your alma mater will be proud of you.”

Lin Xiao said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Okay, thank you Principal Zhang."

Putting down his phone, he slowly walked towards the company.

Just a few hours ago, the Battle of Traffic Mountain had begun.

Tonight, you will see the results.

……………………

Note: Here is the first update. If you have monthly tickets, can you give me a few more? Let's go ahead.
