After finishing his meal and returning to the hotel, Lin Chen finally had time to look at the system's online store.
"System, what does Huasuan.com do?" Lin Chen asked the system in his mind.
"Huasuan.com is a price comparison website that uses web crawler algorithms to crawl discounted products from various websites and aggregate information such as discounts, coupons, and other offers from various channels for users to choose from."
Hearing the system's reply, Lin Chen understood the function of this bargain website. He thought to himself that the online shopping market was still in the take-off stage. The real take-off started with the Tmall Double Eleven in 2009. When the sales data of Tmall Double Eleven was released, it not only brought about a surge in the market value of Alibaba Group, but also opened the door to the entire online shopping era.
Lin Chen's eyes darted around. It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to go to Hangzhou and have a chat with Lao Ma.
In addition, the group-buying war will start next year, and Huasuan.com should be very useful. At that time, it can learn a trick about bidding ranking from Baidu... cough cough, after all, one is never too old to learn.
Thinking about all this, Lin Chen became excited. This bargain website seemed to be a powerful weapon that catered to the times. The redemption required 100 single coins, which he had just enough for. He clicked to redeem, and in an instant, countless codes flooded into his mind. Lin Chen originally thought that a website wouldn't require much code, but only now did he realize that the website's true core content, web crawler, and ranking recommendation algorithm were all involved.
Moreover, to run a good deal website, in addition to daily maintenance, you also need to advertise and attract users. Once you have a user pool, you can then talk to various companies about cooperation. Only when you truly feel the growth of your business will those businessmen be willing to invest heavily, and that's how the bidding ranking comes about.
Lin Chen became more and more excited as he thought about it, and An Rou next door was equally excited. As it was her first trip ever, she was making travel plans. She had brought her laptop with her on this business trip, and although she didn't use it for work, she used it to make travel plans.
"I want to go to Window of the World, and also Happy Valley, and the Ferris wheel..."
As a result, the two of them didn't fall asleep until late at night, and then didn't wake up until noon the next day.
"Hey! Boss, wake up! We're about to leave!"
Lin Chen opened the door, and An Rou rushed in anxiously, pushing Lin Chen towards the bathroom: "Boss, hurry up and wash up, we're off to team building! I actually overslept this morning."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't rush, don't rush. I lost my shoe. If you overslept, just go to the next attraction and leave the ones you missed for later."
Half an hour later, the two took a taxi downstairs from the hotel to their first destination, Window of the World, which is actually a theme park designed based on famous attractions around the world. An Rou had a great time, dragging Lin Chen around east and west, and they played until evening.
Finally, the two bought a bunch of souvenirs on International Street and left.
Next stop, Bay Area Light Ferris Wheel.
Perhaps every girl dreams of riding a Ferris wheel. An Rou sat in the Ferris wheel, slowly rising, looking at the scenery outside the window, and suddenly said, "Boss, thank you."
Lin Chen smiled and said, "No need to thank me, these are employee benefits. Your boss makes so much money, he can't be too stingy, can he?"
Although An Rou hasn't graduated from university yet, she has been working to earn her tuition and living expenses. Moreover, her classmates who went to various companies for internships have all come back complaining about the companies.
But what about her? She's the only employee at this company. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Lin Chen set her up specifically for her. Since starting work, the only thing she's done is update the website before National Day. If she hadn't been practicing driving during the day, this little bit of work wouldn't have been anything special. Moreover, Lin Chen paid for her to attend the driving school, and she was paid a normal salary. Her classmates, the better ones got one or two thousand yuan in internship salary, and the worse ones didn't get a penny. Now he's taking her on a trip.
An Rou was really touched, so she gradually fell in love with Lin Chen. However, she knew that she was not good enough for Lin Chen, a billionaire who had just entered college. No one would believe it if she told them.
An Rou turned around and hugged Lin Chen. Lin Chen was stunned for a moment and was about to push her away, but he felt a warm sensation on his arm.
"Senior, why are you crying? You're making it sound like I'm bullying you. I won't be able to explain myself when we get off the Ferris wheel."
Pfft... An Rou laughed out loud, wiping away her tears: "Who's crying? I just got sand in my eye."
Lin Chen looked at the enclosed Ferris wheel suspended in mid-air, then at An Rou, as if to say, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
After getting off the Ferris wheel, An Rou rubbed her stomach and said, "Boss, I'm hungry."
Lin Chen said speechlessly, "I told you to go have dinner first and then ride the Ferris wheel, but you insisted on riding the Ferris wheel first. We've been queuing for almost an hour. How could you not be hungry? Let's go, what do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat barbecue."
The two randomly picked a roadside barbecue stall, which was quite crowded. An Rou ordered a lot of meat skewers, Lin Chen got her a bottle of iced cola, and he got himself a bottle of iced beer.
Barbecue and beer are a perfect match, but unfortunately An Rou gets drunk after just one drink, and Lin Chen doesn't want to carry her back.
After taking a bite of a meat skewer and a sip of ice-cold beer, Lin Chen showed a satisfied expression.
"Senior, after we get back, our company is going to start a new project. Do you know any classmates with good technical skills in the same major? We'd like to hire two more. If you know any senior computer science students, we'd like to hire two of them as well."
"Boss, I'm just a draftsman, why should I have to do manual labor? You can't use the production team's donkeys like this."
"Who said you're just a draftsman? From now on, you're the vice president of our company. You're the highest-ranking person in the company besides me."
