Chapter 59: Drawing a Pie in the Sky
TL: Etude
As the military training tihe volume of tent on Zhihu also kept enrig.
The series “My Uious Life as a Rich Sed Geion” had been updated to its 63rd installment, detailing how the ily dominated in Hang City and their enthusiasm for charity.
“You are the Color of Fireworks in the World” had also reached its 60th chapter, where the male and female leads expressed their feelings for the first time, including a bit of physical frontation, which was quite thrilling.
Besides, the fession wall had accumuted over a thousand fial courtship posts.
A nine-headed fairy looking for a boyfriend, with no requirements, not ied in money, and easy to deceive due to her y.
A handsome guy with eight-pack abs searg firlfriend, wealthy and loyal, without smoking, drinking, or any bad habits.
And in the anonymous tree hole, there were endless pseudo-dotary short stories, full of melodrama, troversies, plex entas of exes and current partners, and stealthy backstabbing among female friends.
With this level of activity, the pnned promotion could begin as scheduled.
On a sunny Wednesday m, with a gentle breeze and clear skies, Shengshi Advertisien thousand promotional fans to the school via express delivery. Through the es of Dong Wenhao and Pang Hai, they hahem over to Gao Dapeng, the president of the part-time club.
The responsiveness of college students was impressive. On the day the fans were delivered, Gao Dapeng arranged for a few skilled members of his club to carry out ground promotions in tuses.
During the scorg summer, the temperature remained high, making fans aremely popur item.
Gao Dapeng and his team hardly exerted any effort and quickly distributed over three thousand fans. At the same time, real users gradually started to flood into the forum, with the number istrations slowly but steadily increasing.
Jiang Qin took advantage of the end of military training and pulled Su Nai to the library to monitor the data for aire afternoon.
The increasing number istrations was a good sign, but except for the novel se by Shi Miaomiao, which started receiving ents, active posting by real users was scarce. This indicated that most users were still in a wait-aate, not yet motivated to i, which was not a good phenomenon.
Jiang Qin wao achieve an effect where users were not only readers but also creators of tent.
Only after f such a cycle could the vitality of the website tiherwise, no matter he the volume of tent, it would eventually be exhausted.
“Let’s implement an experience point system oe.”
“Eh?”
Jiang Qin tapped his fingers oable, “We’ll award experience points based on the number of posts made and the responses received. We’ll distribute titles to users based on the amount of experiehose focused on short story creation will receive the ‘Schor Badge,’ and those who like to share about beauty and fashion will be named ‘Fashion Queens’. The badges will have five levels, with the highest level earning a ‘Legendary’ title, to ence users to post.”
Su Nai pushed up her gsses, “Senior, I’m not a donkey from a produ team…”
“Heh, the merary schor.”
Jiang Qin saw through Su Nai’s nature, “Junior, how about this: instead of paying you bit by bit, why don’t you just bey employee? I’ll pay you a sary. From now on, you’re a founding member of Zhihu, entitled to project bonuses and pay shares. How about that?”
“It sounds very tempting…” Su Nai’s eyes sparkled with the clear foolishness uo college students.
Jiang Qin nodded in satisfa, “As long as you work hard, fate won’t let me down. One day, I’ll drive a Bentley and live in a mansion.”
“?”
Su Nai was momentarily stunned. You’ll drive a Bentley and live in a mansion, but what about me?
But if the boss is driving a Bentley and living in a mansion, as a founding member, I should be close behind. A small western-style house and a BBA should be within reach.
“By the way, boss, you haven’t paid me yet for the automatic reply post feature,” Su Nai suddenly remembered something.
Jiang Qin spoke gently, “Junior, you’re now my employee. Helping the project to optimize is part of your job. I don’t want to hear such foolish words from you again iure. The chairman would think you have an improper attitude.”
Su Nai was startled, “We have a chairman? Who is the chairman?”
“Me.”
“? ? ? ?”
Jiang Qin’s voice became even softer, “Our project is in its developmental phase. The portion that’s due to you will be included in the dividends. When our project takes off, rether!”
Su Nai, being a homebody from the sd engineering field, didn’t quite grasp the intricacies of these verbal traps. She nodded in agreement, “Alright, but you must give me the dividends at the end of the year!”
“No problem, once we make money, I’ll treat you to all the good stuff.”
“Hehe.”
Su Nai chuckled twice, vely overlooking the issue of whether the website could actually moize: “ht, boss, could you lend me 33 yuan first?”
“Why are ying up money again? We’re pleting a groundbreaking i product. Aren’t you being a bit materialistic?” Jiang Qin posed with the dignity of a boss.
“It’s not that. I o top up for a membership.”
“Membership?”
Jiang Qin paused, finding the price of this membership somewhat odd.
Nowadays, most websites priced their memberships with a ‘9’ at the end – 9.9 yuan, 19.9 yuan, 29.9 yuan. But a membership fee like 33 yuan was refreshingly unique.
A fsh of insight struck Jiang Qin.
That’s right, Su Nai must be talking about a membership for some video se.
“Junior, didn’t I tell you before? Focus on work, don’t spend all day learning new positions.”
Su Nai looked frustrated, “Without the membership, every time it stops abruptly. I’ve never seen the whole process and don’t know what happe!”
Jiang Qin’s mouth twitched slightly, “Alright, alright, actually I have a membership. I lend you my at.”
“Then… okay.”
“But you’re not allowed to look at my favorites,” Jiang Qin specifically instructed.
“Why not?”
“It’s a joke. How an employee know the chairman’s preferences and vulnerabilities so clearly? That’s very dangerous.”
“…”
Su Nai was somewhat flicted. If she bought the membership herself, she’d have to pay every month. But using the boss’s at meant free access, though the thought of sharing an at with someone else felt somewhat unfortable.
Well, never mind, free stuff es with its own losses. Why bother about anything else?
After leaving the library, Jiang Qin strolled back to his dormitory. But before he could evele down, his mother called.
“Jiang Qin, do you still hose old books of yours? There’s a scrap collector downstairs. If you don’t want them, I’ll sell them.”
Jiang Qin stretched zily, “Mom, don’t sell them. Keep them as a memento. We’re not short of money. Also, I o be ho with you. I’m actually a millionaire now.”
Yuan Youqin’s voice remai, “Oh, gratutions, son. What would you like to eat when you e back for the National Day holiday? I’ll prepare it in advance.”
“I’m serious. Do you want a wool coat? I’ll buy you two,” Jiang Qied the waters nontly.
“Mom doesn’t need a coat. Just focus on your studies at school. Your dad and I will handle earning money. You just maintain a proper attitude and study. There will be plenty of opportuo earn money after you graduate.”
