Chapter 86: 084 Backyard Website
How to get Bai Xiaosheng up and running?
This was a question Yu Xing often thought about while boredly counting screens in Pengcheng every day.
After all, counting screens was always boring, and Xiao Ying's calls didn't come often, so thinking about the future of the project became an effective way to pass the boredom.
This eye-catching way of bombarding the internet matchmaking industry was determined long ago, but this could not be the only way for the website to operate and develop. Traffic must be attracted and must be able to stay.
In Yu Xing's view, the basis for this staying power was that there had to be initial users at the operational level, while at the strategic level, Bai Xiaosheng's positioning should be a content platform for workplace topics and workplace social networking.
——Workplace, topics, social networking, content, and platform.
Yu Xing didn't know how "Maimai" did it when it started, but after thinking about it, he still felt that he should go from easy to difficult, use the resources he was familiar with and could leverage to do things, start with "content," and then further do "topics" and "social networking."
As for the platform, the wave of the entire internet industry shifting from PC to mobile would also be a good opportunity for Bai Xiaosheng to seize the initiative and expand its business. In that case, "Maimai" couldn't go public, but Bai Xiaosheng might be able to ride the wave of the era to go public and ring the bell.
But these things had to wait until the current step was done well before he talked to Lu Haiying, Zhong Zhiling, and the others about more ideas.
After all, this was a new project, everyone's confidence needed to be boosted, and they needed positive feedback to have more motivation. The college student field was not only valuable content at the moment but also experience extended from the previous project.
The first dinner after arriving in Shencheng was very happy. Yang Pu was always a bit old, but the atmosphere of life was very strong. Yu Xing got rid of the boring situation in Pengcheng. Except for being far away from Xiao Ying, he was still very motivated about the future.
"Brother Xing, when should the proclamation bombarding internet matchmaking be issued?" Zhong Zhiling finally couldn't help but ask the question in his heart while walking back to the residential area together.
"Let's do the first wave of customers well first. I hope that in the next two or three months, our website's registered users can exceed 50,000," Yu Xing gave a clear answer. "When we reach this goal, we will attack matchmaking."
Lu Haiying walked beside him, thought about the time, and asked: "Senior brother, is it waiting for you to finish collecting your salary from Zhen'ai Net?"
She knew that her senior brother had already collected one month's salary, and there were two months left, which matched the time perfectly.
Yu Xing laughed: "Hmm, coincidence..."
Really a coincidence, why didn't I think of it.
"What is the concept of 50,000 users?" Song Yufeng asked.
Yu Xing said uncertainly: "I guess we can initially receive advertisements from 51job and Zhaopin?"
Song Yufeng blinked and imagined: "That's the beginning of revenue!"
Calculating the time, it's almost before the New Year. Maybe it's a good omen!
"Time will pass quickly. Let's start with tomorrow's part-time business. We don't need to consider everything thoroughly," Yu Xing laughed. "Just like Gui'ai Net, we don't need to be afraid of encountering problems. The company scale is small, we can turn around at any time, and we can look while working."
Lu Haiying's voice was quite loud: "Okay, senior brother!"
"Brother Feng, when is your girlfriend coming?" Yu Xing asked a private matter.
Song Yufeng said with a smile: "Hehe, it should be the middle of next month."
"That's fine, the company will have another capable assistant then," Yu Xing praised first, then changed the subject. "The company will make some noise about college student work and internships before this month is over. See if you can let her work hard and report to us before resigning."
Song Yufeng: "..."
From the college student customers of the last project to his girlfriend who is about to resign... As long as it's useful, he won't let it go, right...
He pondered: "I'll call her later and ask, but she has already submitted her resignation."
Yu Xing said straightforwardly: "How about this, when you call her, tell her about my arrangement for her. I hope she can be responsible for marketing after coming to the company."
Song Yufeng felt steady in his heart: "Okay, Brother Xing, I will try my best to get her to report!"
This time, letting his girlfriend come over, he also took a risk. Recently, he was a bit worried about how to arrange her work position.
Cough, speaking of which, his girlfriend's role in the company might be a bit misplaced. Now that he called her over, if Brother Xing gave her a very grassroots position, it would be a bit embarrassing.
Today, Brother Xing just arrived, and this problem was solved. It's really great!
Song Yufeng thought about this, suddenly turned his head to look at the boss. Could it be that even this was calculated?
"The training for part-time workers is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. I will talk to the junior brothers and sisters myself, no matter how many can come," Yu Xing finally gave an arrangement and asked, "Do you have anything else to talk about?"
Lu Haiying said at this time: "Senior brother, my position... let's change it."
Yu Xing laughed in surprise: "Why? Do you want to be the chairman?"
"No, I felt that the title of president is easily confused with CEO when printing business cards," Lu Haiying said seriously. "Our company is not large yet, so I'll just be a vice president."
Yu Xing pondered slightly and agreed: "Okay, the position is not important, everyone's growth is the most important. I really want to praise Zhiling's growth today, but I'm afraid he'll be proud. Compared to sitting in the lab five months ago, his progress is really great."
Zhong Zhiling's expression was serious, and he replied: "Guard against arrogance and impetuosity!"
Several people laughed.
The elevator arrived at the 7th floor. Song Yufeng said goodbye first: "You guys go up, I'm going back to make a call."
When they went up another floor, Yu Xing asked while taking the keys: "Rented three apartments, they wouldn't all belong to that accountant sister, right?"
Zhong Zhiling replied: "Yes, her family got them from demolition."
Yu Xing: "..."
He was stunned, shook his head, and said: "Really envious. Okay, call me if anything happens. I'll have a good sleep today."
The second-in-command and third-in-command rented apartments next door.
Yu Xing opened the door and entered his residence for the next period of time, finding it very tidy, but it was a bit wasteful to have three bedrooms and one living room.
He drank a few mouthfuls of mineral water, calmed down, took a shower first, and then called home to say that he had settled down in Shencheng today and was about to start the development of the new company.
When he lay on the bed, Yu Xing casually called Liu Wan Ying again to ask about her subsequent arrangements.
"Officially resigning the day after tomorrow," Liu Wan Ying said about her movements. "Go to Jin Ling to rest for a while first. Anyway, it won't delay the mining of Focus Media's financial report information."
The short-selling business was not urgent. It was necessary to try to make the research report solid, and then it could be eaten for a long time after opening.
"Xiao Ying, do you want to come to Shencheng to see? Since Guoshanfeng is not showing its mountains and dew, I think you can start another small consulting company," Yu Xing gave his suggestion.
Liu Wan Ying sneered: "You're arranging my affairs? Is your own company done well? Strange, you didn't tell me to go to Bai Xiaosheng to do any work."
Yu Xing said seriously: "That won't do, this company prohibits office romances."
Liu Wan Ying froze for a second and couldn't help but laugh: "Your company, your company, there are not many people in total, and there are already two pairs of couples! How can you have the face to say that!"
Yu Xing pretended to consider: "I'm pretending not to know them. Okay, since your desire is so strong, then come. I can make an exception for you."
Liu Wan Ying felt that chatting with this person was quite happy: "Whose desire is strong? Who wants to make an exception! 'See the teacher and teacher's wife, say hello for me, remember to praise me more, I haven't told them that my company was sold yet,'" Yu Xing laughed.
"Okay, praise you, this business genius, praise your 2 million income," Liu Wan Ying said angrily. "Do you want to praise your short-selling ambition again?"
Yu Xing said peacefully: "Anything is fine, anyway, not an outsider."
Liu Wan Ying listened to his words always mixed with words, and said with a smile: "Short-selling can't be mentioned, say I was blinded by lard, was cheated by you to resign from a big company, and start a consulting company together. What do you think?"
Yu Xing quickly persuaded: "Don't, don't, then they will scold me to death."
He looked at the time: "It's late, Xiao Ying, hmm..."
Liu Wan Ying thought there was something else about work or other things: "You say."
Yu Xing kept pondering: "Hmm..."
As the pondering time lasted, the call became ambiguous.
Liu Wan Ying realized what this was going to say, bit her lip slightly and said: "Don't think about it!"
Yu Xing was strange: "Hmm? I wanted to tell you to have a good rest at night. Where did you think?"
Liu Wan Ying ended the night's call with a "Bah."
Yu Xing slept on his side, put his phone on the pillow, stared at the screen, waiting for the MMS.
Is there a tacit understanding, is there a tacit understanding, is there...
A long time later, Yu Xing fell asleep in a daze, only feeling that not seeing the white cat tonight was a lifelong regret.
It seems that tacit understanding still needs to be cultivated.
The next morning, Yu Xing ran for two laps in the residential area, then ate breakfast, and soon discovered the benefit of the company being at the door.
It's really too convenient!
Except for the workaholic sleeping in the company, it's too easy to work overtime!!
At seven o'clock, Yu Xing sat in the office and verified his conjecture.
This height really allowed him to see the wires on the side of the road as soon as he opened the window, which had a kind of trance that Shencheng was similar to his hometown.
At seven-thirty, Zhong Zhiling, Lu Haiying, and Song Yufeng also arrived.
"I sat in the office this morning and thought about it. If our goal is to exceed 50,000 users in the first three months, then, in the 8 months when the rent ends, how can the website's registered user target be at least 700,000 or 800,000."
"Otherwise, it means our direction is problematic. Slightly enlarge the goal in an internet style. 1 million users in 8 months, this is our medium-term goal."
Yu Xing reached out and gestured in the air, laughing: "The demand for a whiteboard is imminent. Brother Feng, go buy two at noon, otherwise it's too inconvenient."
Song Yufeng agreed.
"Okay, I don't mean to give a lecture. I just thought about this development matter this morning. Go to the talent market if you should, go recruit part-time workers if you should. I'll give them a lecture at two o'clock in the afternoon," Yu Xing thought for a while. "Brother Feng, you should also move. Everyone performs their own duties. Call me if you need help."
The three stood up. Zhong Zhiling and Lu Haiying left the company, while Song Yufeng went outside to find a workstation.
Yu Xing thought alone in the office for a long time, calculated and deduced with a pen for a while, and then came out to greet the four employees who had already started work and wrote down their names.
At ten o'clock in the morning, he made a small request to the programmer Yan Haoran, wanting to achieve the effect of the "Bai Xiaosheng" account name appearing in gold.
By noon, Yu Xing tried it on the computer and found it was already possible.
So, he directly posted a post in the "Workplace Jianghu" section of the website with the ID "Bai Xiaosheng."
——Latest news on JD. com's management trainee program.
"According to my understanding, JD. com's management trainee program this year has expanded its quota to 20. If you have intentions in this regard, don't miss the opportunity."
"JD. com's development in the past two years has been very good. Next year's revenue will definitely increase significantly, and JD. com attaches great importance to the management trainee program. The internal name 'Jingying Club' is proof. It is said that there will also be personal lectures by founder Liu Qiangdong. In a sense, it counts as the boss's disciples."
"Don't miss the opportunity."
Yu Xing released the first valuable post on the Bai Xiaosheng website.
He felt that if any college student really followed such advice, it would count as a fairy pointing the way.
Last year's JD. com management trainees were the first batch, with only two people, and these first few batches would inevitably become the backbone of the company with the rapid development of JD. com, especially, according to Liu Qiangdong's personality, direct promotion across levels wouldn't be surprising.
And, these likely 20 people should count as the ones he fought for from the 8-person plan that day.
Yu Xing looked at the first post and appreciated it repeatedly.
About half an hour later, he refreshed the page and saw the first comment.
——What a backyard website! Talking nonsense! JD. com's management trainees have already been frozen this year!
Yu Xing was stunned, got up and walked out of the office, to the side of Song Yufeng's workstation: "Brother Feng, did you go to the forum to pull people?"
"Yeah, didn't you ask me to go to the forum to search for keywords yesterday," Song Yufeng laughed. "I've already been banned for two accounts... It doesn't work, you can't just copy and promote, you still need some skills."
Yu Xing announced: "It's already effective. Our website has welcomed the first batch of registered users."
Song Yufeng immediately clapped: "The website has users!"
The four employees on the side were really helpless, but could only clap along.
It's just that three of the four had thoughts: do I still need to continue submitting resumes? How long can this shell company last?
Yu Xing was embarrassed by the chairman's reaction, waved his hand to signal everyone not to clap, and patted Song Yufeng on the shoulder: "Skills, pay attention to traffic diversion skills. You can act as a college student seeking opportunities, and make more use of your skills when you were a reporter."
Song Yufeng almost forgot that he had been a reporter. Hearing this, he felt a shock in his heart. Yes, the skills of a reporter can be fully used. Confusing right and wrong, spring and autumn brushwork, it's just right!
While recalling his skills, he opened the website and saw the first user's message.
Backyard website!
Song Yufeng was so angry that he stood up directly from his seat. Grass, this is the user Brother Xing talked about!
I can be a backyard website, but you can't say that!
Too hurtful!
