Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 67 Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind
Looking at Zhao Gang's surprised eyes, Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, is there anything wrong with what I said just now?"

"Ah, no, no problem." Zhao Gang smiled innocently and said, "What you said just now is so similar to our editor-in-chief, so I was a little surprised."

Cheng Yi laughed and said, "What did your editor-in-chief say?"

"He said that if this cooperation is successful, he will add an Internet section to the daily newspaper to publish some Internet information." Zhao Gang answered truthfully.

Cheng Yi exclaimed in admiration: "As expected of the editor-in-chief of Jingzhou Daily, your insight is truly remarkable. In this case, it will be much easier for you to implement the suggestions I'm going to give you."

"What suggestions?" Zhao Gang looked extremely serious.

Cheng Yi said, "My first suggestion is that you take over this section and use the opportunity to enter this field. My second suggestion is that you leverage the influence of Jingzhou Daily to create a news website. Try to put this website under your name and don't let Jingzhou Daily get involved. Let everyone speak freely."

"Why should it be under my name?" Zhao Gang didn't understand.

"It's very simple. Once the rules and regulations of Jingzhou Daily restrict the website, your website will definitely die. Besides, even if you want Jingzhou Daily to take the lead in building the website, they probably won't be willing to do so. Now they still hold contempt and rejection towards websites. You can just do it in the name of building a personal website. Remember, the core is to let everyone speak freely." Cheng Yi warned.

"But, but I don't know how." Zhao Gang said with a wry smile.

"Is that so?" Cheng Yi sighed and stated his ultimate goal: "How about this, I'll build and maintain the website, and you'll be my editor-in-chief. I'll pay you a monthly salary."

"Ah?" Zhao Gang was a little confused.

How come during the course of the discussion, he became Employee A?
Cheng Yi smiled and said, "In addition to the 1200 yuan salary per month, I will give you an additional % of the website's income."

"1200?" Zhao Gang was a little tempted.

His monthly salary is only 1800 yuan, so 1200 yuan is already very high.

A monthly salary of 3000 yuan is a low salary even in Jingzhou City, which is full of talented people.

"Then what do I need to do?" Zhao Gang asked.

"I just said that we should use Jingzhou Daily to divert traffic to the website as much as possible. There are many ways to divert traffic in your industry. I think you should have a way, right?" Cheng Yi said with a smile.

"I understand." Zhao Gang nodded slowly.

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "It's not easy to run a news website right now, but if you stick with it for a year or two, you'll definitely reap rewards. As long as you let netizens freely publish information, this website will continuously provide material for the internet section you're responsible for."

"Come, I'll have tea instead of wine. I wish us a pleasant cooperation." Cheng Yi picked up the teacup.

"It's a pleasure working with you." Zhao Gang took a sip of tea and said, "By the way, Brother Cheng, what should we call our website? It'd be better if it's something formal so I can promote it as the editor-in-chief."

"Let's call it Toutiao." Cheng Yi said.

"Today's Headlines? I think this name is good! It's concise and to the point!" Zhao Gang's eyes lit up, and his admiration for Cheng Yi increased.

Soon, Zhao Gang took out the contract for the exclusive report, handed it to Cheng Yi and said, "Brother Cheng, take a look at the contract first. If there is no problem, we will sign it first."

Cheng Yi read the contract carefully twice, and only after making sure there were no hidden traps did he sign it happily.

Zhao Gang put the contract into his briefcase and said with a smile, "Brother Cheng, I have to go back and report to the editor-in-chief's office, so I won't bother you any more. If you have anything, just call me. I'm always available."

"Okay, Brother Zhao, come over for tea anytime when you're free." Cheng Yi nodded.

"I'm sure to bother you in the future, so please stay." Zhao Gang bowed to Cheng Yi in a traditional way and left in a hurry.

After seeing Zhao Gang off, Cheng Yi continued to organize the competition process.

Since the exclusive reporting rights have been given to Jingzhou Daily, there is no need to waste energy on negotiating with other newspapers and magazines.

There are still nine days left before the competition. During these nine days, the number of computers in his Internet cafe will reach 500, which can fully meet the needs of the competition.

Assuming 10,000 people sign up, and each machine plays ten games, the preliminaries can be completed in two days. The early qualifying and elimination rounds can be sped up a bit, after all, there's nothing to watch.

When you enter the top ten, you have to start slowing down the pace.

He must find a way to extend the competition time to 16 to 20 days.

This period of time is neither long nor short, and it is exactly the limit for ordinary people to maintain their enthusiasm for something new. It is also the time when the Olympics are held.

If it's too long, the viewers will get tired.

If it is too short, it will not maximize the benefits.

It was not until one o'clock in the afternoon that Cheng Yi finally finished writing the process of the competition.

In the top ten games, he added a resurrection match to the original one, making the rigid game results full of uncertainty.

The recording of every game in the top ten matches will be saved in the computers of Momo Internet Cafe for everyone to watch and learn, so as to attract customers to go online.

"The resurrection match can be changed to a voting resurrection match." Cheng Yi began to think about how to maximize the benefits.

If Lin Qingyin can develop a good points system, customers can use points to vote for the top ten contestants, which will make the resurrection match more interesting.

"I hope Lin Qingyin can overcome this pain point." Cheng Yi prayed silently in his heart: "If the points system is implemented before the competition, Momo Internet Cafe will really soar to the sky this time."

At this moment, Lin Qingyin has become Cheng Yi's only hope.

For an entire afternoon, although the first and second floors were packed with customers and the number of people signing up for the competition was rapidly increasing, Cheng Yi could not be happy.

If there is no points system, then the most his Momo Internet Cafe can earn this time is fame and a few tens of thousands of yuan in registration fees.

If the points system succeeds, it will be a real victory.

At night, Lin Qingyin finally called.

Cheng Yi quickly answered the phone. Before he could speak, Lin Qingyin timidly said, "Cheng Yi, I'm sorry, I don't think I can write this program."

A basin of cold water poured over Cheng Yi, chilling him to the bone.

"Have you encountered something difficult to solve?" Cheng Yi asked.

If Lin Qingyin could say the three words "I can't write", then it must not be a problem at the programming level.

"Yeah." Lin Qingyin said with a deep sense of apology, "The system doesn't support the program framework I wrote."

"The system doesn't support it?" Cheng Yi was stunned.

Lin Qingyin said: "Well, the current system does not support multi-terminal connection."

"I understand. You continue writing and leave the system issues to me." Cheng Yi let out a long sigh.

If it's just a system problem, it's easy to solve.

What are they best at in the pop-up industry?
Find system vulnerabilities! Implant plug-ins into the system!
In the previous life, they had created countless operating systems in order to implant plug-ins, including Green XP, Pure XP, Simplified Win7, Win10 Professional Edition...

As long as you install the system they made, pop-up windows will pop up non-stop.

Ensure that while users are playing, a large number of web game links such as Fiery Dragon City, Greedy Blue Moon, and Shabak Battle will inexplicably appear on the desktop.

"The Windows Whistler beta should be out now. I'll use it to build a super-compact system suitable for Celeron 1."
