Chapter 446 Ambition

The scene froze.

Chen Qiaoshan actually expected this situation to be the case. Although Yahoo China's development is not very good and its position is a bit awkward, the foundation of the world's number one portal is still there and not everyone can ignore it.

Nowadays, every online portal has a forum, and Sina is even a portal that has transformed from a forum. Now it also has Jin Yong Inn and Sina BBS, NetEase and Sohu are the same, and Yahoo is no exception.

Chen Qiaoshan knew that it was very difficult to convince Zhou Hongyi, but he still wanted to give it a try.

Tianya cooperated with Google, and Maopu and Microsoft got together. After all, it was all about competing for market share.

It is about to be a period of surge in forum users. It is obviously unrealistic to not fall behind if you want to rely on the Peking University genes that come with it.

Chen Qiaoshan knew very well that fighting alone would definitely not work.

He repeatedly considered that Baidu was the first to be ruled out. He set up a post bar, but there was no possibility of cooperation. Instead, Yahoo and there was a glimmer of hope.

If it weren't for the joint venture with Peking University Founder, Yahoo wouldn't even get an ICP license, and its status in China would be awkward. In addition, it was implementing a global unified business model, so it would inevitably be unacceptable to the local environment. Not to mention rushing into the top three, even TOM, 21cn, and China.com were slightly inferior.

But no matter what, with the additional support from Yahoo Search, the traffic advantage is obvious.

Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, you can talk about everything."

"How to talk?" Zhou Hongyi's face was not loose at all. "Don't you think it's ridiculous to let Yahoo give up its business in exchange for Kangsheng's support for Yisou?"

"That won't be."

Chen Qiaoshan knew the principle of bargaining, so he tried to convince: "Cooperation is about your love and my wishes. I have a preliminary plan. If you are interested, we can communicate."

Zhou Hongyi is also unwilling to suffer losses. Although he is limited by the contract when entering Yahoo, he still wants to do something.

Things must be resolved, and it doesn’t matter if you listen to the other party’s request.

Zhou Hongyi said patiently: "Tell me, let me see."

If you are willing to listen, it means there is still room for improvement. Chen Qiaoshan knew that things had a turnaround. He said: "It's very simple. The key recommendation for the Discuz application center is to recommend a search. Accordingly, Yahoo will import traffic to us."

The more Zhou Hongyi heard, his brows became tighter. This was no different from the previous conditions, and he could not agree.

Chen Qiaoshan seemed to be unaware of anything and said to himself: "At the same time, we will help resolve the problem of domain name conflict."

"This is impossible." Zhou Hongyi flatly refused.

What a joke, he really agreed, so he found out that he was Zhou Hongyi's search. Then he would not be gossip, and he would probably have to accept the question from the headquarters.

"Mr. Zhou, wait until I finish my words!"

Zhou Hongyi was stunned, but Chen Qiaoshan was not impatient, "I only need a month's traffic entrance, isn't this requirement too much?"

"Be serious?" Zhou Hongyi was very surprised this time, and the discounts before and after were too big.

Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "You can rest assured that this is not false."

Zhou Hongyi was still half-believing and half-doubting, and suddenly making such a big concession was obviously not that simple.

He asked again, "Are you sure it's only one month?"

"Just one month." Chen Qiaoshan did not hesitate at all.

Just yesterday, a simple notice was posted on the website of the Ministry of Education. This is a public draft for soliciting opinions. The contents in it are very simple, and it roughly means to strengthen the ideological work of college students.

No one has realized that this document will change the current Internet landscape.

Chen Qiaoshan knew very well that this was the famous Document No. 16, the once-popular university BBS, is about to become a veritable campus network.

College students in school are the main force of the Internet, accounting for more than a quarter of the total number of netizens. The original small groups with schools as carriers were broken, and what followed was the surge in user demand.

It can be imagined that the opportunity for the forum to expand rapidly is right in front of us, and the sudden entry of huge users was unexpected.

Losing the original communication platform, major forums became new choices. This is also one of the reasons why Wang Xing failed to start a business for the first time, and SNS social websites suddenly emerged in 2005.

"It lasted for a month from September 1 to October 1, and there were no other requirements."

"It's that simple?" Zhou Hongyi obviously didn't believe it, "What about Kang Sheng's promotion of Yisou?"

Chen Qiaoshan was also unwilling to suffer losses. He said: "It's also one month. Let's help Yishuo promote it for free. If you are satisfied with the results, we can continue to cooperate. Of course, there are certain conditions."

Seeing Zhou Hongyi looking like she wanted to speak, Chen Qiaoshan interrupted: "There is another point. We have studied Yisou's positioning. Your main focus is music search, which is the same as Baidu's recently launched MP3 engine."

"In view of this, we can do targeted promotions to all music forums, especially for free Discuz users, and we can even add a search module to the update."

This is undoubtedly a very tempting condition. Chen Qiaoshan had already decided to stop, and he was confident that Zhou Hongyi could not refuse.

The man in front of him went to court several times with Robin Li and now in charge of Yahoo, the biggest way to prove it is to expand Yahoo's share in the search market, otherwise he would not have deliberately made another search.

Zhou Hongyi was indeed very moved. The search targeted Baidu's MP3 search, which was a tip-to-head match.

Today's computer popularity is not high, far less than MP3, and the online music audience is limited, so music search has become a necessity.

Zhou Hongyi is still very sensible. When he entered Yahoo, he immediately proposed to do music searches, starting from this point of view, and gradually expanding his market share.

This coincides with Baidu. Baidu has also developed the MP3 search engine, and the two are at the same point.

Of course, things are not that simple. Baidu is a private brand. Yahoo has no additional promotion channels except for funds. It has a brand new domain name and brand new product. Now it is in a dispute over domain name. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to promote it.

Chen Qiaoshan’s proposal is extremely tempting. Once Yisou integrates Discuz’s free template, the application volume will definitely increase significantly.

He also knew that there was no advantage in the face of interests.

Once you can search, you can also search MP3. Once the effect appears, it will be when Kangsheng starts to start the price.

If you think about it carefully, there is nothing to hesitate about. It is a competitive relationship. If it works, it will be spent.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Hongyi then said: "The deal is completed."

Although Chen Qiaoshan was prepared, he was still a little excited.

The transaction was completed, killing two birds with one stone. One is to push out the mess, and the other is that free users also provide a profit point.

After all, he is a forum and there are few advertising spaces. He has discussed it with Dai Zhikang many times, but in the end he gave up the plan to occupy free user advertising spaces. Of course, he provides some compulsory applications. As long as he grasps the degree, no one will care.

Zhou Hongyi suddenly asked, "By the way, which forum do you want to promote?"

"It's the same as before at first sight."

"It hit the point when I saw it?" Zhou Hongyi muttered. He claimed that he had a good memory, but he had no impression at all. He asked again: "Has it been newly built? Why haven't you heard of it?"

Zhou Hongyi often goes to forums. He and his wife met online in an online relationship. The two were colleagues from Peking University, but they came together through Shuimu and Tsinghua University.

Chen Qiaoshan explained: "It's just a mess. I'm ready to commercialize it, so I'm thinking about changing my name."

Once Document No. 16 is officially released, a mess will inevitably be affected.

In order to avoid trouble, Chen Qiaoshan simply changed his name early and would definitely not be able to use Yitahu map, so as not to cause trouble in Peking University in the future.

"You are doing this mess now?" Zhou Hongyi was obviously numb. Chen Qiaoshan gave him too many surprises, and he was used to it.

Chen Qiaoshan nodded with a smile. The reputation of the first campus forum in China is not a big deal.

It’s a mess now, with a larger scale than when Weibo first became popular. Although the number of registered people is not much, less than 400,000, it is the result of diversion of various universities.

With the successful experience of Qingshan Forum, Chen Qiaoshan is now full of confidence.

It is not a big problem to achieve overtaking in one fell swoop.

Chen Qiaoshan knew very well that it was transitional whether it was a mess or a hit at first sight.

Just like Qiangu, today, has been purchasing traffic carriers before Renren, just to monetize traffic one day.

Chen Qiaoshan is ambitious and his plan is very clear. Before the end of the year, he will make the first move at home in the domestic forum. The first step has been taken. I can only wait and see what the result will be.
