Wang Sifeng was a little confused. Since the last "Dajia Laser" gambling incident on the GEM, Fatty Sun has been fighting with Tianya's boss. Qingshan Forum has taken the opportunity to gain a lot of popularity. It has only been a few days since then, why did he face it again?

"Dashan, is something wrong?"

Chen Qiaoshan did not hide it, and he said directly: "Wu heard the news that Sohu intends to acquire Tianya."

Wang Sifeng was shocked. If we talk about the number of users, Tianya is indeed more than Qingshan Forum. This is not a big problem, but the user adhesion is particularly obvious.

Domestic forums are now facing the dilemma of the unsmooth commercialization process. All those who work on forums are very painful because they cannot find profit points. Online advertising has just emerged and its profits are very limited. They are all dedicated to maintaining balance between income and expenditure.

Even Tianya and Maopu are trying hard to maintain it.

At this stage, the most commercial income is not advertising. If you want to increase your income, the most direct thing is to provide download services for ringtones and MMS. The threshold is low and the results are fast, and it has become the only hope for small and medium-sized webmasters to survive.

Tianya is the best commercial forum during the same period, so Tianya is not short of money, but Qingshan Forum is different. Chen Qiaoshan is responsible for all the expenditures, which is obviously not a long-term solution.

Wang Sifeng also advised that it is not difficult to accept advertisements and promote the forum, and to make ringtones and multi-messages, but without exception, Chen Qiaoshan rejected it. Fortunately, Qingshan Forum has almost no promotional costs, which has saved most of the expenses.

"What do you want to do? If you really want to promote it, it will cost a lot of money." Wang Sifeng was a little worried. It was a good idea to say in the early stage. If you really want to fight with Tianya, investment will definitely be indispensable.

Chen Qiaoshan said: "Don't worry, we won't go out to advertise, it won't be very effective."

"What are you going to do?" Fatty Sun interrupted, "Why would I hire someone to go to another forum to create momentum?"

Chen Qiaoshan hurriedly said, "Forget it, I have been doing more times, so I won't know. We will do an activity in the forum this time."

"Let me tell me." Wang Sifeng became interested.

Chen Qiaoshan explained: "For example, in the computer technology section, we can launch some activities in it, such as voting and selecting technical posts. We only publish prizes and then be responsible for review. The moderators and administrators of each section are responsible for the others, so as to attract popularity."

"Where is the prize?" Wang Sifeng asked.

Chen Qiaoshan thought for a while, "When I read the news yesterday, didn't Xiao RB just get a 100g laptop hard drive? We can use this as a prize."

"You're crazy!" Fatty Sun suddenly became uneasy, "That thing is $1,000 per, which is 8,002 yuan. How much money do you burn?"

Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "What's the rush? I didn't say everyone has a share."

Fatty Sun rolled his eyes and rushed to say, "Didn't you want to find a few nurseries?"

Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help rolling his eyes, "You think everyone is a fool. The BMW lottery case is now in a turmoil. Isn't it uncomfortable if you do this?"

Fatty Sun smiled and said, "I just said it casually. Can we keep a low profile?"

Chen Qiaoshan ignored him and said directly: "If you want to do it, you must be fair and just. There must be a grand prize, but there are not too many. Three sections are once every half a month, lasting for three months, so that the momentum will be built first."

"After counting this, I have to burn more than 100,000 yuan in three months. Is it worth it?" Wang Sifeng first considered the issue of money and couldn't help but remind him.

"Don't worry about funding, I'll find a way." Chen Qiaoshan was preparing to invest enough money this time. He knew how crazy it was to draw lottery tickets, and he also knew the benefits of event promotion. As long as real money is spent in, he would not worry about not being able to create momentum.

"By the way, fat man, after the event begins, you can organize people to go to major portals to brush, and don't make it too conspicuous."

"Okay." Fatty Sun agreed. Now he has experience and has a fixed group of people in his hands. As long as you give money, it is much easier to swipe posts in the Internet cafe than to send flyers on the street.

Wang Sifeng said: "Why did you suddenly start spending money on promotion? This is not your style. Our forum has no profit points and is just burning money. It's not a solution if this continues?"

Chen Qiaoshan smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, it won't take long to burn, and you will see the final record before the end of the year."

Wang Sifeng looked at Chen Qiaoshan sitting opposite him, and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

He is good at technology, but he knows nothing about commercial operations, so he can only let Chen Qiaoshan do it. Fortunately, the other party always makes amazing moves, so far, the two have cooperated tacitly.

"Don't just talk. If this continues, the skewers will be roasted into jerky meat." Yan Xiaoqin's words reminded everyone, and no one mentioned the forum again.

Before the meal was finished, Chen Qiaoshan's cell phone rang. He picked it up and Liu Chang called it over and picked it up.

"Sister Chang, are you eating skewers with Brother Wang outside. Are you looking for me for something?"

Liu Chang said: "Zhou Zhengning has contacted me again."

"Who?" Chen Qiaoshan didn't react for a moment.

"Zhou Zhengning, the president of Jifu Asia."

"That Singaporean, haven't we just met for a while, why did we find him again?" Chen Qiaoshan was a little surprised. It seemed that Kang Sheng was really worried.

Liu Chang said: "He said he wanted to come to Kangsheng to take a look. He had already had a preliminary investment intention when he heard what he meant."

Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "There is not that anxious. If he wants to invest money, it depends on whether we have any needs. Let's do it for a few days first."

"This." Liu Chang was a little hesitant, "He said he would come here in the afternoon, and I didn't have the nerve to refuse."

Chen Qiaoshan had no choice but to say: "That's it. If he wants to see it, let him watch it. The software is open source, and there is nothing to hide."

...

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qiaoshan asked, "Wang Lin, have you read that investment list? Are there any problems?"

Wang Lin spread her hands, "I just finished the translation and had not had time to take a closer look. Today I have to work part-time on the forum, so I can only give up for the time being."

"Don't do the work in the studio first, and focus on this for the time being."

"Ah?" Wang Lin was a little hesitant. Her family was not in good condition. She worked part-time on the forum on weekends and could earn 200 yuan a month. In addition to the part-time work and study in the school, she raised most of the living expenses, which would undoubtedly greatly reduce the burden on her family.

Yan Xiaoqin said: "The investment list is also helping Chen Qiaoshan do things. You can't afford capitalists, you have to ask him to pay you more."

Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "Can you figure out your position? You are the legal person of the company. Besides, if you want to increase your salary, you have to get some results, right?"

Wang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, "I asked a few senior sisters to help me take a look. Although it was not a formal contract review, I did find some problems on it."

Chen Qiaoshan was stunned for a moment, "What's the problem?"

"The other party not only requires the determination of employee options before capital injection, but also has priority requirements for the shares held."

Wang Lin paused and explained again: "It is to ask for dilution of equity and then inject capital, and the investor must be preferred stock."

Chen Qiaoshan smiled. This was expected, and there was nothing surprising. However, he was not concerned about these things, but the financing traps hidden in the contract.

Chen Hua was kicked out of the company he built by investors back then. Chen Qiaoshan didn't want to repeat the same mistakes. Although Kangsheng's willingness to raise funds was not strong, he had to understand the venture capital routines first, be careful of no big mistakes, and sooner or later it would come in handy.
