Chapter 42: 041 NetEase Strikes (Two-in-One)

Song Yufeng returned home with a complicated mood.

The first sentence he saw his girlfriend was—it's over, your company is going to close!

"Your company is going to close!" Yin Baoyi laughed. "My company is developing great!"

As she spoke, she moved her attention from the TV to her boyfriend's face, and only then realized something was wrong. Her boyfriend's expression was very serious.

Yin Baoyi frowned and asked: "What's wrong?"

Song Yufeng recounted the situation he encountered when working overtime completely. The matchmaking team of the company really took a fancy to the project of love contract!

Yin Baoyi was stunned for a long time after listening, and regretted: "Oh, if I had known, I would have reported 100,000 to Seeing Yu Xing last time!"

Song Yufeng was stunned. He didn't expect his girlfriend's first reaction to be this.

He sat on the sofa.

"Then what should I do now? Resign?" Yin Baoyi pondered. "What about the equity Seeing Yu Xing promised? Can it be cashed out now? The contract signed before has a time limit."

She had no feelings for Gui'ai Network. She hadn't been at work for even a month, so she couldn't talk about these two words at all.

Song Yufeng didn't speak.

Yin Baoyi thought for a while and said: "Can't resign. I can work at Gui'ai Network while looking for other jobs. Even if NetEase wants to do it, Gui'ai Network won't close down for a while, right? What if they continue to invest in online marketing later? Seeing Yu Xing will still have to find us if he invests!"

Song Yufeng hesitated: "This..."

"What this? You are just a good person!" Yin Baoyi saw that her boyfriend was a bit unhappy and attacked, "People give you travel expenses, and you can actually place an order back! It's not that you are copying his project. Are you the director of the matchmaking team? Are you the one who makes the decision? What are you guilty of? You are like this and that all day!"

Song Yufeng smiled bitterly, spread his hands, and was silent.

"What do you think should be done now?" Yin Baoyi threw the question over again.

Song Yufeng hesitated for a few seconds and gave a suggestion: "Just resign directly, change to a job, clean and refreshing, so as not to encounter any rotten things again. Equity or not, anyway, I took the marketing fee last time."

Gui'ai Network gave 45,000 last time, and 32,000 was left in his pocket. This money alone is worth several months of wages.

Yin Baoyi listened to her boyfriend's voice, considered it again and again, and shook her head: "Gui'ai Network will not close down immediately. The revenue this month will be at least 1 million. The more NetEase does the same project, the more the company needs marketing promotion!"

"The marketing effect last time still needs to be pushed," Song Yufeng pondered. "Anyway, I am from NetEase, and I have interviewed Seeing Yu Xing. NetEase is now launching the same project. Sigh, I am afraid of trouble."

Yin Baoyi said dismissively: "What trouble can there be? Aren't they just a group of college students? If something really happens, it's aimed at your company. Can it be difficult for you, a small reporter? I think Seeing Yu Xing is not a person who is hard to talk to. That's it. Anyway, I won't resign."

Song Yufeng rubbed his face and sighed silently. Although he could get money, he always felt chaotic in his heart.

He put down his hand, looked at his girlfriend who had started watching TV again, and a thought popped up in his heart: the time in the industry is not long enough. If the time is long, it will probably be fine.

The effect of online marketing takes time to show, and this point will be directly reflected in the traffic of Gui'ai Network's online store.

There were over 1000 user inquiries on the 13th, and the data on the 14th suddenly rose by a cut. The users throughout the day approached 2000. However, because of the conversion rate problem, the orders reached were only 14.

22 orders in two days, revenue 6578 yuan.

Time reached the 15th, half of the morning passed, and the online traffic was temporarily consistent with yesterday.

Seeing Yu Xing did not hide the situation of online orders and kept interaction with candidate shareholder Yin Baoyi.

"If this is the case, the revenue for half a month is enough for the promotion fee," Yin Baoyi helped calculate an account during lunch. "If it is a month, the revenue is twice the promotion fee! Our company still needs to continue to promote on the Internet!"

Seeing Yu Xing smiled and said: "The effect of online marketing must be a curve, first growth, then decay. Half a month is definitely not enough to earn back the marketing fee."

Yin Baoyi subconsciously avoided the boss's eyes and argued slightly: "But no matter what, we won't lose, and the brand is considered to be hit."

"This is not considered to be hit," Seeing Yu Xing laughed. "How can we have a big wave."

Yin Baoyi raised her head again when she heard this: "A big wave, how much money does that take?"

Seeing Yu Xing shrugged and didn't answer this question.

He smiled at the candidate shareholder, greeted the programmer who had joined the job in the past two days, turned and left the small office, and ran to the work stall under the sunny sky.

The business in Shencheng is also expanding rapidly. It is not limited to Songjiang University Town. The experience used is not much different, but here it still serves as the base point of the Shencheng market, and it also plays a role in absorbing the mitosis of existing customers.

Just after noon, the weather was still hot, and the flow of people was naturally very low.

Seeing Yu Xing did not strictly require employees to stand guard or visit customers. He carried the cold drinks he bought, found employees who were cooling off in the shade of the teaching building, chatted with them, and then went straight to another stall. After running through the seven stalls in the university town, his whole body was already covered in sweat.

"Smoke?"

Seeing Yu Xing sat on the stairs of the School of Economics and Management. He took out a cigarette and asked Xin Zongjian, an intern who had joined the job not long ago.

Xin Zongjian shook his head shyly and refused the boss's kindness.

Seeing Yu Xing smoked half a cigarette, looked at the hot sun shining on the ground, and his mind appeared again the exchange with the candidate shareholder at noon.

He vaguely felt that something was not quite right. Yin Baoyi's speech and expression these two days seemed to be a bit wrong.

How to say this feeling...

It's like having secret small actions in the seat when I was in school before, and only knowing how unobstructed it is to look down when I stood on the podium myself.

Is there movement on NetEase's side, or is the candidate shareholder uneasy because of the marketing effect?

Seeing Yu Xing held the cigarette and slowly sorted out his thoughts.

Whether it is his own judgment or the discussion with Sister Ying, NetEase is willing to try, but its attempt does not land, and it is always difficult to avoid anxiety and worry in his heart.

Seeing Yu Xing extinguished the cigarette, took out his phone, thought about calling Liu Wan Ying again and hesitated for two seconds before turning to text.

He thought about the last exchange and seriously compiled a paragraph: With selling the company as the general outline, recruiting boyfriends and girlfriends as the check and balance backbone, catalyzing team leaders to be the context, using unstable interns as flesh and blood, my entrepreneurship, it's too hot, I will definitely not start a business in summer next time!

A moment later, Liu Wan Ying replied to the message: With praising love as the general outline, letting boyfriends and girlfriends promote each other, using talents without sticking to one pattern, believing in the simplicity and enthusiasm of college students, such entrepreneurship, if you don't succeed, who succeeds?

Then there was the second message: If this company can be sold smoothly, what do you want to do next time?

Seeing Yu Xing looked at the phone screen, lit the second cigarette, and thought for a while: I haven't thought about it seriously. I have really racked my brains during this time, really tried my best. If the company can be sold, if it really doesn't work, I will go to grow grapes.

Liu Wan Ying replied with a question mark:?

Seeing Yu Xing replied seriously: My uncle is a grape grower. There is a kind of grape in Japan that is very good. It can be introduced. Although I haven't investigated it carefully, it should be profitable to speculate on the price of this product slightly.

Liu Wan Ying admitted: It touched my knowledge blind spot. I am going to eat mushrooms in the evening. I heard that the mushrooms in Yunnan this season are delicious.

A large part of Yunnan enters the rainy season in July, which is suitable for the growth of wild mushrooms, which is the time to taste delicious food.

Seeing Yu Xing gave a serious suggestion: You must fry it well, find a shop close to the hospital!

He waited for a while, didn't wait for a reply, and didn't know if Sister Ying was busy with work.

Liu Wan Ying on the other side was really busy. She took the materials handed over by her colleague Su Jiayi in the office, and just turned two pages when she heard an irrelevant inquiry.

"Sister Ying, what are you laughing at?"

Liu Wan Ying looked up and said strangely: "Did I laugh?"

Su Jiayi confirmed: "Yes, with a smile on the corner of your mouth, what happy thing did you think of?"

Liu Wan Ying brushed her lips and looked at the sunny day outside: "Once I think that the sun here can also shine on the flowers planted at home, I feel happy in my heart."

Su Jiayi asked suspiciously: "Is it some wild flowers planted at home?"

Liu Wan Ying rolled her eyes: "Work, you, list the due diligence list tomorrow."

Su Jiayi raised her hand and saluted: "Yes, madam!"

However, after tasting fresh mushrooms in the evening, the work of M&A consulting may have to be postponed.

Liu Wan Ying tasted the seasonal mushrooms, which were indeed delicious, and there was no discomfort, but the moment she walked out of the small shop, she saw a row of Seeing Yu Xing squatting on the tree, all of them talking to herself, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Sister Ying, help me."

"Sister Ying, I don't want to pay consulting fees, but I still want to ask questions."

"Do you have money? Lend me some."

"Sister Ying, my face is thick."

"Sister Ying, come to Gui'ai Network? With you, the company can sell more money."

Liu Wan Ying calmly turned back and said to Su Jiayi who was tasting delicious food together: "Go, go to the hospital, I have hallucinations."

Su Jiayi was stunned: "Hallucinations? Really? What did you see?"

Liu Wan Ying took a breath: "I saw seven monkeys on the tree."

Eating mushrooms is risky, and tasting fresh needs to be cautious.

Fortunately, the small shop chosen this time is indeed close to the hospital.

The next day, Seeing Yu Xing received a text message from Sister Ying, describing the hallucination.

He laughed uncontrollably while questioning by text message: No, what thick face, what borrowing money, it's fine if you dream of me, how can it be such an image?

Liu Wan Ying corrected: It's not a dream, it's a hallucination, a hallucination of eating mushrooms. Do you know what I was thinking at the time? I thought, this one Seeing Yu Xing tossed out a messy project. If there were seven Seeing Yu Xing, what would it be like?

Seeing Yu Xing: Sister Ying, you really look up to me, thank you, I have more confidence in tossing! Your work is postponed, will the bonus be deducted?

Liu Wan Ying: No deduction, the leader's hospital bed is next door.

Under the sunny day, Seeing Yu Xing sent text messages to Liu Wan Ying in the shade near the stall.

"Hey, Xiao Liu, buy some ice cream, I'll reimburse it."

Seeing Yu Xing sent the employee who was also a bit bored, watching him disappear.

Just as Seeing Yu Xing was about to reply to the text message, a strange mobile phone number called in.

"Hello, hello, hello, is this Seeing Yu Xing, the founder of Gui'ai Network? I am a reporter from NetEase," the voice on the call was very warm. "I noticed the website's report on your project, and I want to ask some details. I will give you an in-depth report in a while."

Seeing Yu Xing heard the identity of the opposite side and chatted without thinking much.

However, he felt a bit wrong halfway through the chat, and slowly began to chat about the customer group positioning and development of Gui'ai Network with a promotional mentality, and even vaguely expressed the situation of marriage probability without hinting.

Of course, his own survey is true, but how true it is, to the point of doing good deeds, that needs to be weighed.

The call lasted for a long time.

By the time Seeing Yu Xing put down his phone, the ice cream the employee bought for him had already melted.

"President Yu, is it an interview?" Xiao Liu next to him heard some of the boss's replies.

"Yes and no," Seeing Yu Xing sighed deeply and took a deep breath, and said faintly, "He is too enthusiastic."

Why is this old guy's voice so enthusiastic?

It should be lifeless, it should be like I owe him 200,000 or didn't give travel expenses!

And called himself in the name of a NetEase reporter...

Although Seeing Yu Xing couldn't be sure, combined with Yin Baoyi's performance and this inexplicable call, a strong intuition rose in his heart. The NetEase he coveted is finally coming!

Ah no, it's NetEase finally coveting himself!

Forget it, covet each other, rush to each other!

Seeing Yu Xing felt that every nerve in his body was jumping in the hot weather.

He never thought that the first opponent faced by the startup project would be a big company like NetEase, and he didn't know if he could really let such a big brand help him lift the sedan chair.

It can only be said that if you are willing to cut yourself, you dare to pull the emperor off the horse!

"President Yu, where are you going?" Xiao Liu saw the boss leave.

Seeing Yu Xing said as usual: "Go to prepare something, and make an appointment with the right person to eat. You stay here, don't get heatstroke."

Xiao Liu nodded ignorantly, watching the boss drill into the sun and walk faster and faster, and ran up in the blink of an eye.

On July 19, NetEase adjusted its business, and the original "City Dating Channel" and "Very Men and Women" teams were merged into the new "NetEase Dating".

At the same time, while "NetEase Dating" adjusted the layout of the matchmaking business, it also launched a love contract business for college students on this page, which will do the matchmaking market more vertically and refinedly.

NetEase's actions did not cause much movement on the Internet, but it attracted the attention of traditional matchmaking brands, including Century Jiayuan, Baihe Network, and Zhenai Network, all of which heard the establishment of "NetEase Dating", and also had some thoughts about NetEase killing into the college student group that they did not value.

But on the whole, Century Jiayuan, Baihe Network, and Zhenai Network do not think that NetEase can shake the matchmaking market, nor do they think it will cause any actual threat.

On the evening of this day, in a corner that no one cares about, Gui'ai Network, which encountered the most direct competition, held a meeting. The founder, second-in-command, third-in-command, team leader, candidate shareholder, etc. all attended the meeting.

The atmosphere in the office was heavy, everyone looked hesitant, some wanted to resign, some wanted to fish for money, some were chanting wages... Everyone was of one heart, and almost no one thought that Gui'ai Network had a future.
