Who Can Fall In Love After Being Reborn?

Chapter 356 Silenced Gunshots

Because they needed to go back to work, Jiang Zhenghong and Yuan Youqin did not continue to stay in Linchuan and returned to Jeju by car that afternoon.

However, the relatives in Linchuan were not idle during this time. They called one by one to ask about their welfare.

“Lin Dehuai called and wanted Jiang Qin to ask Lingling about work.”

"Don't bother him. He's been busy these days. He just dropped us off and went back to the office. He has no time to worry about it. Besides, he's not a real relative. Jiang Qin has the skills and might as well take care of him. Nan Shu goes out for a walk."

Hearing what Yuan Youqin said, Jiang Zhenghong nodded, but decided to find a weekend to mention it to his son.

However, the couple have not seen their son attend classes in the past two days. Does it make any difference to him if he attends classes on weekends or not?

Yuan Youqin couldn't stand the naughty behavior of her relatives in Linchuan, but she was right. Jiang Qin was indeed very busy in the next few days.

On October 10th, the registered users of Zhihu website have exceeded the five million mark, and the speed has been increasing. In addition to its popularity and precise verticality in the field, the main reason is because of Zhihu’s core community. The functionality has already been built.

 Animation, games, star chasing, technology, beauty, comedy, dramas, novels, emotions, social hot topics, sand sculpture videos.

 After a year-long layout, Zhihu’s community environment has become rich enough to meet the daily entertainment needs of all college students.

Moreover, the Million Blogger Plan has also successfully created a wave of creation in which "registered users are content contributors", established a version 1.0 self-media field, and gradually led a new way of playing the Internet community.

 Hui Huizi who loves to eat sweets, Mr. Cao who is ordinary, Hello Weekend, Miaomiao Ruyan, Sister Bagua, Sister Beauty, I just love watching cartoons...

Hundreds of creators from universities across the country have shined, bringing the freshness and interest of Zhihu to an unimaginable level.

 2009 was indeed a year of explosive development for the Internet industry, but most companies that were new to the Internet field were crossing the river by feeling the stones without in-depth thinking about the development direction and audience areas.

 At this stage, Zhihu can be said to be the leader and has great momentum.

 College students who have just experienced how exciting the Internet world is have never seen this. They say they are addicted and forget to eat and sleep.

Coupled with the update of the academic record recommendation system, most college students in unpromoted areas have also been influenced by their old classmates and began to spontaneously become Zhihu users.

I don’t know who suggested it. Anyway, within a very random period of time, someone suddenly started calling themselves a “knowing friend”.

 “Are you a close friend?”

“I’ll go, what a coincidence, you are also a close friend?”

As a result, a special small group that is popular among university groups and relies on Zhihu forums was born invisibly.

 Dong Wenhao compiles some hot topics on Zhihu every month and submits them to Jiang Qin. On the one hand, he is to control the content trend of Zhihu, and on the other hand, it is also for the purpose of guiding the topics in the future.

When Jiang Qin saw the popularity of the topic of "friends", he raised his eyebrows and sat in the boss's chair and meditated for nearly ten minutes.

Dong Wenhao didn't know what his boss was thinking about, so he kept standing nearby. Then he heard Jiang Qin suddenly say, help me call Tan Qing and Shengshi Advertising Factory.

 Two days later, posters about the “Zhiyou Offline Friendship Party” were distributed in university towns across the country.

Everyone got together to sing karaoke, watch movies, chat and brag. All the expenses were borne by the group's branches near various university towns. In addition, everyone who participated in the fraternity received a "knowledge item". Friends” custom T-shirts and exclusive badges.

 The only thing the friends have to do is to post photos of the sorority party in the space.

In fact, this was explained by the sub-station employees who did not need to pay at all. Many people posted dozens of spaces after attending the party.

“Today I went to an offline gathering organized by Zhihu. Zhihu was friendly and interesting, and the words were nice…”

“The Zhiyou T-shirt posted by Zhihu is very beautiful, and it also comes with an exclusive badge. I will wear it tomorrow and see how many Zhiyou I can meet by chance.”

“Thank you Zhihu. I haven’t been good at making friends these years. I have only dared to express my feelings online, but I never thought that online friends could also come into my life.”

 “What the hell, my boyfriend is actually a close friend, and he’s also a slut!”

“I got together with close friends and met my ex-girlfriend, and found that she understands me best. No wonder our online interactions are so happy.”

Tan Qing was actually a little confused when he received the task. He thought to himself that the boss was so generous this time and even invited thousands of unknown college students to eat, drink and have fun.

Not long after the party ended, the technical team discovered that the forum’s registration curve was like taking an aphrodisiac, and it began to skyrocket like never before, so that the server Jiang Qin invested in immediately faced a huge challenge.

 In late October, the number of registered users on Zhihu approached 8 million, and the number of views that day reached 90 million.

 With the official promotion, the term "Zhiyou" began to be heard in forums, and it also became the most popular buzzword among college students.

On October 18, an art school in Kyoto was going to hold a public exhibition, so I called Dong Wenhao.

On the same day, a professor who specialized in giving lectures in universities also called Wei Lanlan.

 October 19th, a cos exhibition in Kyoto…

 On the same day, a month-long cultural exhibition…

 There are also some fast-selling brands, sporting goods, educational institutions, job search websites, travel agencies, investment institutions... they have also started calling frequently, hoping to cooperate with Zhihu.

You want to ask how much advertising fees Jiang Qin earned during that time? I don’t know, just a lot.

However, these things are equivalent to gifts for Jiang Qin. What really satisfies him is Zhihu’s current user volume and stickiness.

2009 is indeed the best time to join the Internet industry, but there are really not many that can achieve such a blowout development as Zhihu. So this campus website began to become famous, gradually entered the public eye, and was used by more and more people. people see. “The founder of Zhihu has a deep understanding of the Internet and understands user preferences. This is very fatal.”

“If you study this website carefully, you can see that its basic framework was established from the beginning, which means that Zhihu now is what the founder originally wanted to achieve.”

“Don’t think this is easy. In fact, it is very difficult to determine the key points before setting off.”

“Why? Because the trend of Internet popularity is uncontrollable and unpredictable, but now, someone is using his own ideas to guide Internet popularity.”

“Can you imagine a farmer uncle deciding which days it will rain and which days it won’t rain before sowing?”

“Yes, the monetization ability of this website is indeed very poor, which is worrying, but if he can focus on this field, he will definitely be the first person in the social field of college students in the future.”

 In late October, the cold air hit and the country began to generally cool down, but the popularity of Internet topics remained unabated.

 Because Zhihu has entered the public eye like a rock, an Internet expert also expressed his views on Zhihu on the headlines of the entrepreneurial section.

  And some other related newspapers also have some reports about the Zhihu website.

For example, some have reprinted Zhihu content and analyzed why this website is preferred by college students. Another example is from listing entrepreneurial projects of college students. Zhihu will be cited every time.

There are also some people who don’t know where they got the news, but they have clearly sorted out the context from the beginning to the present. There are some things that even Jiang Qin is surprised by, and he thinks they are true or false.

However, some people think that it is unlikely that a sophomore student can build such a website. It is probably just a gimmick.

 Because of its popularity and the fact that Zhihu is indeed getting more and more popular, many media want to interview Jiang Qin.

 Face-to-face offline interviews are best. If you really don’t have time, phone interviews are also acceptable.

If you had followed Jiang Qin's previous philosophy of trying to make a fortune, he would indeed not have accepted these interviews, because the longer he stayed, the higher his safety would be. However, this time, Jiang Qin did not hide anymore, but actively responded to these interview requests.

 It is now the end of October, and the weather is getting colder. In two months, 2009 will be a thing of the past, and 2010 will be here.

At this juncture, Jiang Qin wants to use Zhihu to attract the public’s attention and pave the way for the promotion of group games.

 “Jiang, what is your purpose of doing Zhihu?”

“It is to allow college students to have a free conversation environment and to make making friends a simple matter.”

“Does the current Zhihu meet your psychological expectations?”

“It not only met my expectations, I think it even exceeded my original imagination.”

 “Why do you say that?”

"I am the decider of the framework and the builder of the platform, but the wonderful content and hotly discussed topics are all completed by all the "friends". Sometimes I am really surprised. Contemporary college students There are so many endless talents.”

“So what is the future development direction of Zhihu? Can you tell us about it?”

“I hope that the existence of Zhihu can make college students’ lives more diverse and make friends more widely. This is what Zhihu has always insisted on, and it is also the original intention and direction that will not change.”

Around Frost's Day, everyone in 208 sat around the office, watching the interview with Jiang Qin by Focus News, and made a tut-tsk sound.

 Don't tell me, the boss's suit and tie look is really photogenic. He must have paid the makeup artist to bribe him.

On the other side, under Zhang Baiqing’s instruction, these interview clips began to play in the cafeteria again.

In the ordinary year of 2009, Jiang Qin’s name seemed to be everywhere in Linchuan University, but if anyone pays attention, they will find that some things have begun to change.

At the beginning of this year, when everyone mentioned Jiang Qin, they would say that he was the one who founded Tuan Tuan. However, before the end of the year, everyone introduced him as the one who founded Zhihu.

At the same time, Wei Lanlan - Group Business Department - Zhihu First Stop Marketing - Linchuan local brands are also not idle.

Jiaduoji has developed the character of "hot pot companion" and "fire-removing herbal tea" in college, and is currently running TV advertisements. Kang Mailang has also gradually occupied the college student market with its "upgraded outfits, large quantity discounts" approach.

In fact, many brand owners don’t pay much attention to the student group, because in their eyes, the consumption power of this group is still very low. Because of this, the first shot to seize the market has an amazing lethality, but it is like installing a silencer. Just as silent.

 However, some supply chains that are not at the end are gradually starting to show their signs.

 “Brother Wang, I’m here to deliver goods again.”

“Xiao Li, next time I’ll bring a few more boxes of Kang Mailang’s upgraded packaging and less of other brands. I’ll also replace the instant noodles with a bucket and a half of Kang Mailang’s braised eggs.”

 “Oh, okay…”

Xiao Li, who was in charge of delivering the goods, took out a memo and hurriedly wrote down the requirements of the campus convenience store owner. He was so proficient that it was impossible to say otherwise. The only exception was that the previous supermarkets and retail stores also had such requirements. He had already become perfect with practice.

 In addition, Xitian, Helilao, Green Pepper Grilled Fish and Burger King are also making great efforts to open stores around the university town and then launch joint marketing.

 Drinking milk tea will give you coupons for three other restaurants, eating hot pot and grilled fish, and you can also choose sweet lemon tea, Kangmailang iced black tea and Jiaduoji.

Moreover, they have launched a membership card called "Xihan Heqing" in every university town business district, with one card for four stores, and there will be free prostitution activities from time to time.

According to the recollections of a junior college student, when these four stores first opened, there were queues all over the street, so crowded that other merchants didn’t want any of them, especially the sweet rose taro, which was sold like crazy. Some students even started to work as scalpers, specializing in selling queue numbers.
