Chapter 110 Do foreign monks like to chant sutras? (Please recommend)
Chen Xiao has invested almost all of his savings in Changtian Technology. The 500,000 yuan invested some time ago and the 500,000 yuan bonus (apology fee) he just received from Shengda will also be invested.
The foundation of the company has been built, but what is lacking now is talent.
If Liu Hao is willing to stay at Changtian Technology, Chen Xiao will certainly be happy. After all, the most advanced computer and Internet technology in this era is still in the United States, and Liu Hao's abilities are not bad.
Chen Xiao wouldn't mind if Liu Hao just used Changtian as a springboard and planned to stay for a while before leaving.
The flow of Internet talents is inherently fast. It would be great if Liu Hao could help with something during his time at Changtian Technology.
Chen Xiao's salary for Liu Hao is 5,000 yuan a month, including food.
There is definitely a gap between this salary level and Internet companies in the United States, but for Xia, especially in inland cities, it is definitely a high salary.
The first task Chen Xiao gave Liu Hao was to modify the homepage layout of the 11181 website and be responsible for server expansion.
Chen Xiao’s plan is to retain the search bar entrance of 11181, which is the traffic for Baidu.
Keep the navigation link entrance below the search bar. This is the basic function that 11181 can survive.
But add some real-time hotspots above the search bar.
You don’t need to write real-time hotspots yourself, you just need to crawl them from the portal.
Baidu once mentioned to Chen Xiao that the server of 11181 should be placed with Baidu, but Chen Xiao decisively refused.
No matter how pleasant the cooperation is, the data must be in your own hands. This is the true meaning of survival.
Chen Xiao's budget for server expansion has also reached 500,000.
When the news was announced, Wang Xiang felt a little guilty. The whole world was in an Internet bubble, but Chen Xiao still invested in it?
Five hundred thousand is a lot!
However, because Wang Xiang had already corrected his position, after mentioning this point and it was not accepted by Chen Xiao, he chose to shut up and obey.
But Liu Hao is different.
Liu Hao had worked in a large overseas company, and he immediately saw that the 11181 navigation website was somewhat similar to Yahoo in the 1990s.
Because Yahoo is basically a navigation company, but in the United States, navigation has no future. There are navigation websites, but they are not profitable. Yahoo, including Yahoo, has gradually turned itself into a portal website instead of a navigation website.
Liu Hao had worked in a large factory and would definitely look down on the investment of 500,000 yuan, but he felt that it was a waste for a small company like Changtian to invest 500,000 yuan to continue to enrich navigation resources! And look at Chen
Xiao, a little kid, is actually the boss of the company, so he has already backed down.
Liu Hao said: "I must point out that navigation has no future. You can see it from Yahoo. If you want to make a website, make a portal. There is no profit in navigation now."
Does what Liu Hao said make sense?
He is a turtle, which of course makes sense. There are navigation websites in the United States, but the traffic is pitifully low. That is because the Internet in the United States is quite mature, and the main value of the navigation page is to allow users who are not proficient in using input methods to quickly
Enter the website, so navigation is of little significance to American users.
Moreover, Omi countries can use the input method proficiently and do not need to convert the input method. What is more comfortable is the website address or the English spelling that they are familiar with.
They are accustomed to using search engines such as Google as navigation. They enter the abbreviation of the website they want to enter into the search engine and then click directly into it.
This is much more comfortable than clicking on the navigation target page.
This kind of habit will also appear in Xia State twenty years later. Netizens are accustomed to entering the keywords of the website they want to find in Baidu, searching and clicking to enter, instead of finding the entry link from the navigation website.
But things are different now. Internet users in Xia Guo are immature and search engines are not popular. At this time, Xia Guo's websites are springing up like mushrooms after a rain, so users need "navigators".
A large proportion of domestic Internet users have directly jumped from a farming civilization society to an information civilization society, and they also need "navigators", so the national conditions are different and the meaning is different.
If you do 11181 well, you will master the traffic password, not just profit.
Liu Hao suggested: "I suggest either turning 11181 into a portal website, or increasing the proportion of advertising. Making profit as soon as possible is the first priority."
Chen Xiao said with a smile: "By the way, another modification is to remove all advertising links of 11181 on the homepage and place some advertising links in current affairs hot spots. I want to ensure the user experience of 11181 and the cleanliness of the page."
When Liu Hao heard what Chen Xiao said, he was in disbelief and thought Chen Xiao was crazy.
He wonders if Chen Xiao understands the Internet? Does he understand market development?!
Liu Hao asked: "Have you ever been abroad?"
Chen Xiaosheng has never left the country since his rebirth. What country did he go to?
Chen Xiao said: "No."
Liu Hao laughed!
After working on it for a long time, Chen Xiao is just a bumpkin!
If you have never been abroad or seen the progress of the United States, what are you talking about when you sit in a well and look at the sky?
People of Liu Hao's generation are deeply influenced by the West. They believe that the Western system, culture, and technology are the most advanced. They don't like everything in the country. They can't wait to copy the United States to be satisfied.
.
Liu Hao asked again: "Do you know how top American websites like Yahoo operate? What would you eat without ads?"
Liu Hao has a very tough attitude and is not polite to Chen Xiao at all, as if he is the boss.
He is a returnee from overseas, and he has the arrogance of an overseas returnee. He had never thought about working in Changtian for a long time, and then he saw that the boss of Changtian was actually a kid like Chen Xiao, a kid who didn't understand anything.
, and even less desire to continue.
Moreover, Chen Xiao’s series of ideas just now made Liu Hao feel ridiculous!
Chen Xiao said very kindly: "It is true that you can make money by implanting a large number of advertising links now, but in the long run it will destroy your reputation, and our user base is far from enough."
11181 is not a difficult website, it is easy to imitate, but no one in the market has reacted yet.
Chen Xiao actually suffered from a time gap and information gap, and quickly occupied the market during this gap.
Ensuring user experience is the only magic weapon to continue to ensure 11181's leadership.
Innovative technology products (new materials, chip semiconductors, new energy, biotechnology, etc.) are absolutely expensive, and they are not projects that can be played with millions of dollars. Seize the Internet as soon as possible to get enough funds. This is what Chen Xiao is thinking about.
11181 is just an entry point. To do big things in the future, you need traffic. Ensuring traffic entrance is much more meaningful than a few advertising dollars.
Liu Hao looked at Chen Xiao, smiled disdainfully, and said to Wang Xiang proudly: "Brother Xiang, I appreciate your kindness! This company is not very suitable for me, I will go back first."
