Chapter 112 The Ultimate Playboy (Please Subscribe and Vote)

The domain name used by "Xianyu" is ianyu. Shen Kang bought it online after he went back to his dormitory that day after talking with Ma Liang. He also bought the domain name beiming at the same time. The two domain names cost a total of 7300 yuan.

After hearing Ma Liang say that everything was in place, Shen Kang took He Qiuzhu and left the park to pick up Ma Liang and drive back to school.

He Qiuzhu sat in the passenger seat, and Ma Liang sat in the back. They genuinely believed that Shen Kang had come out today mainly for the date, and that setting up the website was just a side project.

Ma Liang casually asked, "Where did you guys go just now? You left me all alone over there."

Before Shen Kang could speak, He Qiuzhu said, "We went to the wishing well."

Ma Liang was taken aback: "Yangcheng has this kind of thing?"

Shen Kang remained calm: "Yangcheng is developing so fast every day, there are many things you don't know."

"I really should go and take a look another day, and make a wish while I'm at it." Ma Liang thought to himself, he had heard the story of the wishing well in Europe before. If Yangcheng had one, that would be really convenient. He wouldn't have to go to Europe to experience it in person.

He Qiuzhu then added, "Are you over 20? You have to be over 20 to make a wish there."

She still remembered Shen Kang telling that old lady that she wasn't old enough.

Ma Liang was taken aback again: "There's an age limit for making a wish? I've never heard of that."

Shen Kang continued driving, remaining calm and collected: "There are plenty of things you haven't heard of."

Ma Liang thought about it and actually became interested in the wishing well with its age restriction. However, now wasn't the time to dwell on whether or not to use the wishing well; he had important matters to discuss with Shen Kang.

"Shen Kang, now that Xianyu.com is set up and officially launched, have you thought about how to promote it?"

Shen Kang said, "I've thought about it. We'll still need to use the usual methods. I'll hire some people to hand out flyers at the dormitory management office. Also, didn't I tell you about the trial vouchers before? I've ordered a new batch of trial vouchers from that manufacturer, printed with the Xianyu.com website address and promotional slogan. When people get the trial vouchers, they'll be able to see the promotional material on them."

Seeing that Shen Kang hadn't mentioned his idea, Ma Liang perked up and said, "That's all? Actually, there's another way. We can go to the Yangbei Forum and play GG."

"?"

Shen Kang was genuinely stunned for a moment, then quickly focused on driving and said, "Go to Yangbei Forum to fight GG? Although we're currently running Xianyu.com, not yet an interest-based community, Xianyu.com still takes traffic from Yangbei Forum's secondhand section. They're competitors. How could they possibly let us fight GG?"

"You don't know this."

Ma Liang recounted his experience: "Our interest-based community usually won't accept Google Play requests, but secondhand websites are very likely to accept them."

"The secondhand website I ran before was advertised on the Yangbei Forum. I rented a spot on the forum for a month, and it worked very well."

Shen Kang couldn't help but ask, "Really? They even accept their competitors' boyfriends?"

Ma Liang, who had been slumped in the back seat, sat up abruptly: "Seriously. The main traffic to Yangbei Forum comes from its 'You Say, I Say' and 'Emotional World' sections; the secondhand section gets very little traffic."

"Although the traffic share of the second-hand section is very small, the people at Yangbei Forum disagreed at the time. But Yangbei Forum belongs to Zheng Changhao, and if Zheng Changhao said he would take it, he would. Later I found out that Zheng Changhao told his subordinates that second-hand websites would not succeed. No matter how much traffic they took away now, they would have to pay it all back later. It would be a waste of time to fight them; it would just be a gift to them as a fee."

"Later, things turned out exactly as Zheng Changhao had predicted. Our secondhand website went under, and everyone went back to Yangbei Forum to buy and sell secondhand items. Yangbei Forum still got its GG fee and didn't lose any users. Zheng Changhao was very proud of this and always brought it up, which is how I found out."

After listening, Shen Kang thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

If Zheng Changhao had someone like Tao Yinchu working under him, he would probably say that this move by President Zheng was the greatest operation he had ever seen in his life.

If Yangbei Forum is willing to take on this role...

Shen Kang perked up, "Then you should contact them. If they're willing to take the call, I'd actually be happy to go to their place and play some games."

"Okay, I'll start right away."

Ma Liang immediately picked up his phone, made a call, got Zheng Changhao's phone number, and then called Zheng Changhao to tell him about their plan to fight GG.

He covered the phone receiver halfway through his sentence, looked at Shen Kang in front of him, and asked, "Is he free now? Shall we go over?"

"past."

Yangcheng Business School has a building called Wenlan Building, which was donated by Mr. Qin Wenlan, an outstanding alumnus and entrepreneur of Yangcheng Business School. It is now the site of the Yangcheng Business School's student entrepreneurship base.

Changhao earns tens of thousands of yuan a month.

After the four sat down, they didn't waste any time exchanging pleasantries. After a few casual words, Shen Kang got straight to the point: "Senior Zheng, I recently started a second-hand website and I want to promote it on the Yangbei Forum."

"no problem."

Zheng Changhao readily agreed.

In his eyes, this rich second-generation Shen Kang was wealthy, idle, and loved to play around. He'd created such a rudimentary website, and now he even brought his girlfriend along when he came to discuss business. He was simply an utter wastrel, someone who had money to burn and nowhere to spend it. This kind of person…

If we don't make money, whose money will we make?

Zheng Changhao took another report and handed it to Shen Kang, "This is our website's traffic data for the past three months."

Please take a look at the customer distribution and Google pricing information.

Shen Kang then took the report and started looking at it. After a short while, he pointed to a spot and said, "This 'homepage pinned banner,' is that the one at the very top of the Yangbei Forum, the most prominent one?"

"Yes. Mr. Shen has also used our Yangbei Forum?" Zheng Changhao knew these people's mentality very well. They hated being looked down upon, so he deliberately used the title "Mr. Shen".

Shen Kang grinned, "Of course I've used it. My roommate even said your forum is rubbish, but I think he's wrong. He just doesn't know how to use it. I think your forum is great, really easy to use!"

He meant it sincerely, after all, Yangbei Forum really helped him find a lot of handsome guys in the quickest way, it was indeed very useful.

Ma Liang, listening nearby, felt extremely uneasy and lowered his head to avoid showing any strange expression on his face.

Zheng Changhao also laughed, "It's alright. If everyone likes it and loves using it, then it means we did the right thing." Then he got to the point, "The banner on the homepage is priced at 5500 per month, but if you buy three months, you can get a discount." Ma Liang, who was listening nearby, felt like he was sitting on pins and needles and lowered his head to avoid showing any strange expression on his face.

Zheng Changhao smiled, "It's alright. If everyone likes it and loves using it, then it means we did the right thing." Then he got to the point, "The homepage banner is priced at 5500 per month, but if you buy three months, it's discounted to 5000 per month. Mr. Shen, would you like to consider it?"

"Three months?"

Shen Kang thought for a moment and asked, "How much of a discount can I get over six months?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Changhao was overjoyed. He had been wondering how to persuade this rich second-generation to buy more GG slots for a few more months so he could earn more GG fees. Ideally, he should buy three months' worth at once. That way, even if Shen Kang's secondhand website went out of business after only a month, it wouldn't matter. He would have his GG fees; if Shen Kang couldn't continue, that was his problem.

Unexpectedly, they themselves asked to extend the time!

Zheng Changhao didn't mince words and immediately offered a hefty price: "4500 a month for six months!"
