It was the last day, and Chen Qiaoshan had to be busy with a lot of things. He had just separated from Jia Yinan and he had to meet with the financing agent again.

In the domestic Internet circle, Douban is a very special existence. He wants to be capitalized, but he has been struggling. He has influence but cannot realize traffic monetization. He has had his peak period but missed the golden period of mobile terminals. But even so, he still persisted.

Chen Qiaoshan is very optimistic about Douban. He knows very well that Douban’s value does not lie in capitalization. Of course, with his participation, Douban may embark on a different path.

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

Under Tuo Xiaoxue's introduction, Yang Bo met his investor.

He waited for a long time at this moment. Although it had only been a day since he got the exact news, every minute of this day was tormenting him.

Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but look at the young man who was very inconspicuous. He was not much different from the coders of Kangsheng R&D Department.

Yang Bo is dressed casually, with a black T-shirt and khaki casual pants, without too much embellishment, but the computer bag that is held next to him is a bit conspicuous, and nothing surprising is beyond that.

"Hello." Chen Qiaoshan took the initiative to reach out and shook with the other party.

Yang Bo was obviously a little uncomfortable. Although he saw it yesterday, the huge venue was far away and could not be seen in detail. Now he communicated face to face, and only then did he feel that this investor was too young.

Chen Qiaoshan naturally saw the other party's hesitation, and he asked, "What's wrong, do you have any questions?"

"Ah? No." Yang Bo was a little nervous, subconsciously shook his head and denied it. However, in a second thought, he thought of the problems that had troubled him all day, and hesitated for a while before he said, "Mr. Chen, I want to confirm the problem."

Chen Qiaoshan felt the other party's nervousness, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He asked himself that he was not a difficult person to get along with, and he did not pretend to be a stubborn entrepreneur, so he should not put pressure on others. If you think about it carefully, this may be the power of capital.

Chen Qiaoshan was a little funny, but he still held back. He said, "Don't worry, sit down first, let's talk slowly."

Tuo Xiaoxue was very sensible and hurriedly said, "Mr. Yang, what do you want to order? I'll prepare for you?"

"A cup of coffee today is good." Due to habit, Yang Bo opened his mouth and realized that this was not Starbucks, so he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

He is used to writing programs in Starbucks. He often sits for a day and only orders a cup of coffee for the day. It’s not that he likes to drink coffee, but mainly because of the atmosphere.

Chen Qiaoshan smiled. The coders had more or less some strange hobbies, or habits.

There was a girlfriend from a coder in his previous life. Chen Qiaoshan had a deep understanding and was not surprised. Seeing that the other party was a little embarrassed, he said, "It's a bit hot, please help us have a glass of iced coffee."

"Okay, Mr. Chen." Tuo Xiaoxue agreed and turned around and left the private room.

Only two were left, Yang Bo relaxed a little.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked: "Mr. Chen, the amount of financing written in my project book is 250,000, why do you say 100,000 US dollars to the public?"

This problem has troubled him for a long time. Starting a business is of course the more funds the better.

Yang Bo and a few friends raised more than 200,000 yuan, which was actually enough.

According to his plan, he would save a server in advance and build the website first. In his opinion, there should not be many users in the early stage of the website, and it should be fine to hold this money for one or two years.

Of course, there are also many problems here, such as the necessary public service expenses, promotion costs, bandwidth and labor costs, which are all reduced to the extreme.

So much so that in order to reduce unnecessary expenses, Yang Bo is preparing to leave Yanjing. After all, it is not easy to live in the capital.

Under the instigation of his friends, he also tried to make a plan with the intention of trying it out.

Yang Bo actually didn't have much hope. The project book was very hasty and didn't even explain the specific business he was engaged in. All the travel, IT, music, and books were stuffed in, and there was no accurate positioning at all.

Who would have thought that even such a project book could get financing, the key is still astronomical.

Chen Qiaoshan knew there would be a question, and he said, "Because I have considered that just 250,000 will not be able to fulfill your vision well."

Yang Bo's heart tightened. He had imagined countless possibilities, and this result was the lowest possible and what he expected most.

Yang Bo went to the United States after graduating from Tsinghua University. He received his doctorate degree and worked at IBM for two years, but he felt that it was not satisfactory, so he returned to China to start a business.

He knew that even in the United States, 100,000 US dollars was a considerable amount, not to mention that this was in China.

Yang Bo also considered that Chen Qiaoshan was using himself as a sign and putting a guise on his own. Of course, even so, he accepted it.

In today's IT circle, financing is a very difficult thing. Many projects that have received financing have a lot of money announced to the public. This can be said to be a hidden rule. On the one hand, it is considered to be a promotion, and at the same time it can also enhance its own influence.

Since he learned the news, Yang Bo has made various plans. Even if he only got 100,000 or 80,000, he still admitted it. It is much better than getting nothing.

With this money, you can not only exchange for a better server, but also place the company in Wudaokou, where the target users are the most concentrated, and you can conduct market research at any time. At the same time, there is sufficient funds for promotion...

Thinking of all this, Yang Bo only felt that happiness came too suddenly.

Afraid of disturbing the communication between the two, Tuo Xiaoxue personally acted as a waiter. When she put the coffee in front of Yang Bo, the man didn't react at all.

The private room was very quiet, and Tuo Xiaoxue was a little puzzled. After only a while, she didn't know what the two of them said, but this situation would be.

She didn't leave either, and sat down on the side of Chen Qiaoshan. Tuo Xiaoxue also wanted to see how her somewhat strange boss talked about business.

Chen Qiaoshan did not urge him. He could understand Yang Bo's mood. He was extremely excited when Kangsheng successfully raised funds.

After a while, Yang Bo finally came to his senses. He looked at Chen Qiaoshan and asked, "Mr. Chen, why did you choose us?"

"Is it strange?" Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help laughing, "It's actually very simple to say, it's just that I've taken a fancy to the prospects in your project."

After pausing, Chen Qiaoshan said again: "Of course, there is no problem."

Yang Bo was not surprised. He had not reached an agreement with several friends, and it was not surprising that he had any questions. "Mr. Chen, just mention any ideas you have, I will seriously consider them."

He uses words very cautiously, and considers that he will not give up the initiative in the project. This is something that Yang Bo cares a lot. He has seen the world and does not want to make wedding clothes for others.

Chen Qiaoshan noticed his words and didn't care. It was still a long time before he would not put everything into his hands.

"The main thing is the location problem of Donkey Track Network, which is too complicated."

"This is very inappropriate during the entrepreneurial period, and it is not a good choice to do tourism business. Ctrip started doing it last year and has achieved initial results. They are listed companies and have good upstream and downstream channels. Compared with them, you have no advantage..."

Chen Qiaoshan did not reserve the matter at all.

He knew that starting a business was like gambling, and the chances of winning were too low, and no one knew what would happen in the future.

Yang Bo was silent for a moment. Although he had been insisting on doing tourism business, he had to admit that what Chen Qiaoshan said made sense. After thinking about it, he tried to ask: "Mr. Chen, where do you think we should start from?"

Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "Since you asked, I'll talk about it."

"In my opinion, except for tourism, everything else can be done, but there is also a focus. I think we should start with books and then radiate to other aspects such as music, movies, etc."

Yang Bo asked, "Why?"

Tuo Xiaoxue also looked curious. Although she had just joined the company, she was full of questions about Chen Qiaoshan. Seeing that he was talking about specific projects, she had more and more questions in her mind.

"It's very simple, in order to make a profit as soon as possible."

Yang Bo was surprised that Luzhi.com is an information sharing website. In his plan, he wanted to gather customers by operating at a loss and then use the data to find investors. In the short term, he had no idea about the possibility of profit.

As for the advertisement, Yang Bo was disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

The Internet today is so pickled. To put it bluntly, it is called insulting users, pop-up ads, web ads, link ads... all kinds of messy things, seriously affecting the feeling of online access.

Yang Bo hated this deeply. He had already made up his mind that he would either not do it. If he wanted to do it, he would eliminate those vulgar things. Even if it was to be commercialized, it would not affect the user's impression.

"Mr. Chen, it's a little too early to talk about profitability. I don't plan to advertise for the time being. This has been mentioned in the project plan."

Chen Qiaoshan said: "I know this. You are afraid of affecting the user experience, but this does not conflict with profit. We start from the actual needs of users, so that it will not cause users' disgust."

When Yang Bo heard the word user experience, he felt a little fresh, and had to admit that this word accurately summarized his thoughts.

He glanced at Chen Qiaoshan with a subtle meaning, and was very impressed. No wonder he was so young, with his ability to guess his mind, he was far from being a match.

Yang Bo thought about it for a while, and was a little unsure of attention. After thinking about it, he asked: "Mr. Chen, can you give an example to illustrate how to make a profit without affecting the user experience?"

Having asked this, it seems that if you don’t show some real goods, you can’t impress him. Chen Qiaoshan thought about it and could only use Yang Bo’s methods to repay him. This is inevitably a bit unkind, but at least the meat is rotten in the pot and it will not be cheaper for others, so it will be used after all.

"It's very simple. For example, when making books, we can make a real-time ranking of the popularity of user discussions, and then contact book suppliers, such as Dangdang or EBay. We provide purchasing links. This not only meets the user's purchasing needs, but also makes profits from it. Is it a killing one stone?"

Yang Bo was stunned. He really didn't expect that Chen Qiaoshan's awareness of the project was deeper than himself. What's more rare is that he also provided a practical solution. It seems that this webmaster meeting was right.
