Zhou Qixin's first sentence stunned Chen Yu.
Five million.
This is exactly the price that Chen 꼎 sold GO Navigation Home to Baidu.
The other party actually knew about this, which meant that he had some understanding of Chen 꼎.
In addition, Chen 꼎 did not expect that Zhou Qixin had also created a navigation page. And became his potential opponent.
After exchanging greetings, both sides took their seats.
Because Zhou Qixin took the initiative to speak, the topic was opened naturally.
Although it was the first time we met, Zhou Qixin was very polite in his dealings with others and gave people a very comfortable feeling. There was no awkwardness at all as in a first meeting.
"I just happened to meet Mr. Chen, and I'm really curious about how he promoted GO Navigation Home so quickly back then."
Zhou Qixin asked a question that had been in his mind for many years.
It was clearly he who first created the navigation page, and like hao123, he had a certain user base.
But later, Go Navigation Home suddenly emerged as a dark horse. Since its launch, the number of downloads has been soaring. In less than half a year, it has left its own navigation page far behind.
A year later, Chen's go navigation home directly surpassed hao123.com and completely left it far behind.
At that time, Zhou Qixin also conducted a special study on GO Navigation Home and analyzed the reasons why the other party grew so fast.
He felt that in addition to the fact that Go Navigation Home was stable, convenient and easy to use, the founder must have used other promotion methods that he was not aware of.
But Zhou Qixin still couldn't figure out how Chen 꼎 did it.
When he met the real owner today, he couldn't help but ask about his doubts from that year.
"Mr. Chen, please have some tea."
Yang Tao came over and brought tea to Chen Xiao and Bai Ruoxue.
Chen 꼎 smiled and nodded in thanks.
"Thanks."
Yang Tao glanced at Zhou Qixin, said nothing, and quietly left to the exhibition hall in front.
Chen 꼎 picked up the teacup and took a sip, then spoke with a smile.
"At first, I really didn't know that Mr. Zhou was also my colleague."
"But I did take the promotion at that time."
"Because my company has limited funds, I cooperated with several online game studios."
Zhou Qixin frowned, not understanding what Chen 꼎 meant at first.
After a while, he suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Chen Yu in surprise.
"Hack?"
Chen Xiao smiled and nodded.
Zhou Qixin slapped his thigh.
“High!”
“This is indeed a quick move.”
For the first few years of the 2000s, those who could play online games in China were basically the first group of netizens to come into contact with the Internet and computers.
There are many online game users and a strong demand for downloading plug-ins.
Chen 꼎 cooperated with the studio, and when players purchased the plug-in and unzipped the compressed package, the go navigation home was automatically installed.
Even if only 50% of people choose to keep the app after experiencing it, that retention rate is terrifying enough.
No wonder the growth rate of GO Navigation Home was so terrifying during that period.
The more Zhou Qixin thought about it, the more he felt that this move was really brilliant.
Taking a completely unconventional approach means spending the least amount of money to achieve the greatest effect.
It was not unfair that I lost.
Looking at Chen 缎 again, Zhou Qixin felt a little emotional.
Based on this alone, he somewhat understood why Chen Yu had achieved his current success.
Zhou Qixin has experience of living and working abroad, so his way of dealing with people is very obviously like that of a foreigner.
I don't like beating around the bush, I just want to get straight to the point.
"I know what Mr. Chen is here for this time."
"I won't beat around the bush with Mr. Chen. I'm 45 years old this year. If I really accept Mr. Chen's invitation, this job may be my last."
"I would like to ask Mr. Chen, how do you position Feizhi Weibo?"
Chen 꼎 smiled slightly and put down the teacup.
"If I were to speak to the media, I would say Weibo is an interesting social media platform."
"If it's facing the industry, I would say Weibo is a new media public opinion social platform."
The latter has new media and public opinion in addition to the former, and public opinion comes before social networking.
This statement made Zhou Qixin's eyebrows jump slightly.
But Chen Yu's next words made Zhou Qixin sit up straight in surprise.
"Of course, if I could invite Mr. Zhou to join us today, I would tell you that Weibo is the data center of our group's strategy."
This argument was a bit unexpected, giving Zhou Qixin a refreshing feeling.
I couldn't help but change my sitting posture, becoming a little more formal.
"I have analyzed this website. In my opinion, Weibo currently has more than 200 million users, but it is difficult to realize traffic monetization."
"It is difficult to find a profit point now and in the future. The final result is that a lot of money is wasted on maintaining server and bandwidth costs, but it is difficult to monetize this part of the traffic."
"There is already a trend of marketing accounts on the platform. If there is no reform, I dare to infer that these marketing accounts will become blood-sucking parasites on the Weibo platform in the future."
"The final result is that Weibo spent a lot of money, but ended up benefiting so many marketing accounts in vain because all the money was earned by them."
Chen 꼎's mouth curled up slightly.
very good.
Zhou Qixin has a very sharp perspective and immediately discovered the dilemma that Feiji Weibo is currently facing.
The fact that he pointed out the phenomenon of marketing accounts so accurately proves that he is a truly capable person.
At a glance, I saw the predicament that Weibo is currently facing.
In its past, Xinlang Weibo had a huge number of users, but it could never find a way to monetize it. In the early stages of its development, in order to increase its user base, Xinlang Weibo chose to leave its marketing accounts alone.
The result is that marketing accounts are rampant, resulting in a large amount of advertising fees being earned by marketing accounts in the later period.
By the time Xinlang officials reacted and wanted to crack down on the marketing accounts, it was already too late.
Marketing accounts have become a big deal. If you want to completely eliminate them, it will inevitably cause a strong backlash. Xinlang officials do not have the courage to burn their boats, and the end result is to let them go, allowing Weibo to become a weird and unprofitable product.
"You are absolutely right. At present, we are very confident that Weibo has already taken action against marketing accounts."
Chen 꼎 looked at the other party and said, "I have only one principle, which is to strike at the source and never show any leniency."
“We must nip marketing accounts in the bud before they become a trend.”
Zhou Qixin leaned back again and leaned against the recliner. Hehehe asked.
"Isn't Mr. Chen afraid that these marketing accounts will backfire and cause adverse effects?"
Chen Yu said calmly: "It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. My platform is mine, and I cannot allow other termites to lie on it and suck my blood."
Zhou Qixin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he found Chen 꼎's answer very interesting.
"Let's go back to the question just now. Mr. Chen hasn't answered me yet. Where do you think Weibo's future profit point will be?"
Chen Xiao glanced at Bai Ruoxue who was sitting next to him, then picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip slowly.
"To be honest, I don't really care whether Weibo makes money or not."
"Oh? The truth?" Zhou Qixin joked with a smile.
"Of course it's the truth!"
Zhou Qixin laughed.
"That's strange. This is the first time I've seen someone spend so much effort on developing a product, but the result is not for making money."
Chen said calmly: "Because if the Ruo Group is to develop in the future, it will need such a product."
"Compared with the group strategy, I value non-Weibo user data more."
The smile on Zhou Qixin's face froze, and he looked up in surprise.
