Chapter 2100

Hou Wenchang naturally adopted Su Xinghui's suggestions in their entirety. Now he is using those fee-based businesses to support these free businesses, but the effect is very good. Now these businesses of his have the most users, occupying almost more than 80% of the market.

For Chinese netizens, free is the biggest selling point. And with Su Xinghui's guidance, these software of Hou Wenchang's are the easiest to use, the user experience is also the best, and they are constantly being updated, with more and more functions, and good service, so the stickiness to users is naturally the highest.

Especially for instant messaging software, when almost all of a person's friends use the same instant messaging software, it is basically impossible for them to switch to other software.

Now Hou Wenchang's company, relying on its first-mover advantage and capital advantage, has become a big player in China's IT industry. IT companies doing the same type of business as them, except for companies that are replaceable such as portals, ERP software, antivirus software, etc., other companies are no longer able to compete with them.

It can be said that he has now strangled the ideals of many companies that later became famous in the industry.

Su Xinghui said, "Then you are very impressive. You started with one million a few years ago, right?"

Hou Wenchang said, "This is mainly because your ideas are good, so I want to thank you. How about I give you half of the company's shares?"

Su Xinghui smiled and shook his head, saying, "Wenchang, thank you for your kindness, but if I accept your shares, then there's no need to clear my name on the internet. Fine, I'll call the reporter who did the exclusive interview with me now and ask him to come over."

Su Xinghui then picked up the phone and called Jiang Chaoyang, asking him to come over.

After he hung up the phone, Hou Wenchang shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the fact that you refused the shares given by my grandfather and the shares given by me cannot be posted on the internet. Otherwise, this matter of yours would be self-evident without argument. What fool would believe that you would solicit a bribe of 100,000 from the director of a small, broken chemical plant?"

This matter cannot be posted on the internet, and even if it were posted, no one would believe it. Who would believe that there is such a stupid person in this world who would actually refuse such a large amount of property?

Su Xinghui said, "Sigh, there's no way. Some things that should be believed are just not believed by anyone, and things that shouldn't be believed are just believed by some people. This is the characteristic of netizens."

Hou Wenchang said, "Xinghui, I am sometimes very strange. Why do you rarely go online, yet you are so knowledgeable about things on the internet? And you are also so knowledgeable about netizens?"

Su Xinghui said, "I like reading books and I like studying. Besides, it's not that I don't go online at all; there has always been a computer in my office."

Hou Wenchang didn't think deeply about it. He nodded. He and Su Xinghui spoke a few more words, and Jiang Chaoyang arrived. Su Xinghui asked Jiang Chaoyang to take out some materials from his exclusive interview record, make a copy, and hand it to Hou Wenchang. Hou Wenchang would help him clarify things on the internet as well.

Although Jiang Chaoyang was not very knowledgeable about the internet, he also knew that the development of the internet was becoming more and more rapid. Therefore, he relievedly took those materials out of his bag and handed them to Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui made a call and called Xia Song over, asked Xia Song to make a copy of these materials, and then asked Hou Wenchang to fax these materials back to his company.

After Hou Wenchang finished faxing, he came over and said to Su Xinghui with full confidence, "I have already arranged it. There will be results for this matter by tonight at the latest."

Su Xinghui said, "Fine, thank you. Tonight, you and this Senior Brother Jiang of mine can go to my house to drink. Originally, I should have found a good hotel to treat you, but firstly, there are no good hotels in Chongjin County at present, secondly, my situation is not suitable for being high-profile now, and thirdly, treating you to drinks at home is more intimate."

Hou Wenchang smiled and said, "Home is good. I happen to see your son. The time you had your son, I was too busy with work and couldn't go to see him."

Jiang Chaoyang also nodded and said, "Drinking at home is good."

Su Xinghui said, "You two can get to know each other well. Senior Brother Jiang is in traditional media, while the portal website you run, Wenchang, can be considered new media. So you can be considered peers, and you can exchange ideas. Maybe you can even cooperate."

Hou Wenchang then took out his business card and handed it to Jiang Chaoyang. After Jiang Chaoyang looked at it, he also took out his business card and handed it to Hou Wenchang.

The two looked at each other's business cards and were both very interested in each other's identities. Hou Wenchang's portal website didn't have many reporters of its own now, and their news sources mainly relied on reporters from traditional media, so he indeed had room for cooperation with Jiang Chaoyang.

Jiang Chaoyang was now the deputy editor-in-chief of the Jiangcheng Metropolitan Daily, so Hou Wenchang thought about cooperating with their newspaper, so that their portal website would have one more news source in the future.

And Jiang Chaoyang was also a person who was determined to innovate, and his acceptance of new things was still very high. He had bought a mobile phone now, and there was also a computer at home, and he was still very interested in the internet. Hearing that Hou Wenchang was the boss of the currently famous portal website Hanhai Net and was also Su Xinghui's friend, he also had a good chat with Su Xinghui.

The two chatted for a few words in Su Xinghui's office, then agreed to go to the room in the County Party Committee Reception House to chat, and then have lunch together at the County Party Committee Reception House.

Seeing them chatting happily, Su Xinghui was also very happy. These two indeed had quite a few areas where they could cooperate.
