On January 15th, China’s first search engine, Yisou.com, was launched.
Originally, Wan Feng also wanted to use Baidu, but in the end he gave up Baidu and chose the more tacky name Yisou.
He thinks a search engine website doesn't need a fancy name; it's enough if people can tell at a glance that you are a search engine website.
Searching websites is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Filling them with a wide variety of content is a massive undertaking, and it also requires a professional maintenance team.
Xu Meilin was responsible for building the website, but she would not take care of it anymore after she finished it, and maintenance became the job of Xiao Yuer and the others.
Xiao Yuer and the others are not clear about the profit model of search websites, so Wan Feng needs to explain it to them.
Search engine profit models generally fall into a few categories: The most common is paid-for-search ranking (PPC). For every search term, the top ranking entries for the same content are often labeled with advertisements from manufacturers. This means customers bid on the results, and the website is charged a fee for each click, ranging from a few cents to several dozen yuan.
Don't underestimate these few cents, it has many users.
There are hundreds of millions of search clicks every day. How much money can this amount of traffic bring?
The price difference mainly depends on the commercial content of the bidding.
Just like why there were so many deceptive Putian hospital advertisements on a famous Chinese website in the previous life, it was because the bids were high, and each click on those advertisements cost dozens of yuan.
Although it was fun to make money, the website’s reputation was ruined in the end.
The second source of income for search websites is advertising alliances.
Yisou takes the lead in uniting numerous websites to form an advertising alliance that can provide numerous advertising spaces.
Customers can promote their products to their own suitable websites through Yisou Advertising Alliance.
Yisou Alliance became the middleman of the largest advertising alliance in China, placing these advertisers' ads on websites with high traffic and earning a commission or price difference from them.
Of course, it also places advertisements itself.
The third is to provide services and technical support to government departments, enterprises and institutions to make profits.
Another way is to provide search services for other websites, which also brings huge profits.
Of course, there are still very few websites in China, and online advertising is not very popular, so don't expect any income. Running a search website now is almost a loss-making business.
However, this kind of life will not last for a few days. Within two years, when Chinese websites are everywhere, it will not be a problem for Yisou to break even or even make a profit.
Xiao Yuer's full name is Gan Zhihua. Although he listened very carefully when Wan Feng was explaining, he didn't seem to quite understand what was going on.
Wan Feng only knew the general idea, and he was not very clear about the details.
"You won't make any money now, no matter what you do. Just maintain the stability of the website and fill it with content. You'll figure it out when the time comes."
Wan Feng ran away after saying this.
He has to run away. If these guys keep asking him questions, he will be exposed.
Now he has a psychological burden, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for him to maintain the image of a know-it-all boss. There is no guarantee that one day in the future these top people will find out that their boss is now just a fool.
It's hard! Being a man is hard, and being a man who is well-versed in history and the present is even harder!
Before the New Year, the group had almost no new products coming out. They couldn’t even make enough of the previous products, so there was no need to launch new products.
This year the Chinese New Year falls on February 16th, so businesses are usually busy until around January 15th or 16th before slowing down.
Because at this point there are almost no dealers coming to pick up the goods, and the orders that need to be completed have also been completed.
However, the products of Nanwan Group are rather strange. Direct sellers will continue to purchase goods until around the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Anyway, these are all hot-selling products. If they cannot be sold in the first year, they will continue to be sold after the Chinese New Year.
The company here has to produce the goods if the direct sellers take them.
Even if they don't take the goods, the companies will still produce them, also to make reserves for next year. There will be no leftovers anyway.
Li Mingze came back at the end of January.
This guy went back to Chao County and stayed there for more than a month, about forty days, and no one knew what he did in Chao County.
"Hasn't he been arrested and persecuted by Erpang?" Wan Feng joked.
"We are from Chaoqiao. I didn't object to him arresting me."
"I heard that in Chao County, the police even allow you to visit other villages. Is that true?"
"It's not that serious, but it's pretty serious."
Isn't this like seeing enemies everywhere?
"What do you think of going back?"
Li Mingze's tone was a little heavy. "Poor! Very poor! Just like China ten years ago. I gave my family 5,000 yuan, and they cried with happiness, then looked at the whole village like thieves."
Wan Feng laughed. Leng Ding is rich now, so he has to worry about others stealing or robbing him.
"I've opened up a route and plan to go to Chao County to sell some things."
No wonder it took this guy so long to go back, it turns out he was trying to find a way out.
"That's great! You've made a contribution to the development of Chao County."
"I'm going to trade the car."
Wan Feng, who was originally smiling, immediately stopped smiling: "You want to go to Chao County to sell the car?"
Li Mingze nodded: "Yes! Although Chao County is a bit poor, the demand for cars is still very high. There is a shortage of all kinds of cars."
"Fuck! I heard there's no gas in Chao County, and there are cars burning charcoal on the road. What are you doing driving your car over there?"
There really are cars burning charcoal on Chao County Avenue. Wan Feng had seen this in a video in his previous life. At least it definitely existed in the 1990s and 2000s. It seems that we no longer see it after Kim Jong Un came to power.
"We don't care what they burn, as long as we can sell the car."
Wan Feng frowned and thought for a long time. "Li Mingze! We've been dealing with each other for over ten years. Let me be honest. I doubt the credibility of people from Chao County. Many people in Dongdan's generation have been ripped off when doing business with them. If you think it's safe, you can do it. If you're dealing with someone else's car, I won't say anything. But if you're dealing with mine, you have to pay first."
In the 1990s and 2000s, many people in China were cheated, whether they were fishermen at sea or businessmen coming from Dongdan, Baicheng and Yanbian.
Wan Feng would never seek such bad luck.
"I know, my route is pretty solid, so there shouldn't be any problems. Besides, I don't want to do too much at once, so I'll just move a few at a time."
A few cars? What's the point? I might as well just run a driving school.
Li Mingze and Wan Feng are more familiar with him. He has a monkey-ass personality! He can't stay in any place and often does things that make him die.
It's starting to go to heaven again.
