Chapter 228: Deep City Can Fly
“Are there still too few ads?”

Huang Zhengfei complained in his heart when he heard this.

Splash screen ads, home page ads, information page ads... If users want to successfully connect to WIFI, they have to see at least three or four ads.

"Mr. Yang, do you know the ratings of our software in major application markets?"

"How many?"

"Out of a five-star rating, our WIFI Master Key only has a 4.5. You should know that our software had five stars in the beginning. A rating organization has already contacted us and plans to select our software as one of the top ten applications of the year."

Huang Zhengfei looked worried and continued, "If we insert more ads, I'm afraid users will be unhappy and give us lower ratings."

After he finished speaking, he opened the app store on his phone and found their download window.

There are hundreds of comments below.

The highest-rated reviews were actively posted by their internal staff.

[Easy to use! Awesome artifact! ]

【No need to worry about running out of data wherever you go! 】

【Only with advertising can we survive, and put our understanding on the public screen! 】

The real reviews from users have been drowned out, so one can only scroll down.

[There are indeed too many advertisements! ]

[Damn, sometimes I can’t connect even after watching ads, what a crap job! ]

【…】

Yang Xiao took the phone, read it all the way, and then smiled:

"It's still rated 4.5? It's still too high."

This rating has exceeded Yang Xiao’s expectations, but it doesn’t matter, I believe users will understand.

“Cancel the skip function of the splash screen ads, and force users to watch them. Double the price of this ad space and put it up for bidding.”

"This...Okay, I'll have someone contact the advertiser right away, and then arrange for technical staff to follow up and handle it immediately."

"Okay, you guys try to get more money from the advertising companies. The advertising contracts can't be signed for too long. After all, our user base is increasing day by day. As I said before, our advertising space goes to the highest bidder."

Users benefit, so what’s wrong with watching some ads?
Where did this go?

There will be many more methods in the future. After all... forced pop-up ads have not yet appeared.

Of course, to prevent competition from similar software.

They have also been carrying out the follow-up promotion of the software.

For example, cooperating with major mobile phone manufacturers, promoting each other's advertising space on major channels, and having their artists promote and endorse products, etc.

In short, the products of their Easy Internet Technology Company have always been in a leading position.

Industry leader!

In addition, at the suggestion of Yang Xiao, the next version of WIFI Master Key added a community function.

For example, "copy" some articles and information on the Internet and enable the comment and like functions.

Although the number of clicks by users may be relatively small, the effect is not good.

But... no matter how small a mosquito is, it’s still meat, right?

Advertising can also be promoted on this "community" page.

For example, soft articles.

Whether it is soft articles about whitewashing celebrities or soft articles about product usage, there is still a market for them nowadays.

Anyway, just find different ways to increase profits!
In terms of means, it seems a bit like "draining the pond to catch all the fish".

However, the lifespan of this software is limited, so Yang Xiao must maximize its benefits.

Now that he has the ability to make this cake bigger by himself, he even considers following the example of its original founder in his previous life.

Instead of going public, we can directly conduct equity crowdfunding in China!
At the beginning, it was just 10% of the shares, and it was sold for 6800 million US dollars!
Today, this app is heading towards the 1500 million user mark, and it is expected to even reach million by the end of the year.

Yang Xiao’s idea is that before that, he still has to accept a wave of venture capital financing.

The WIFI master key in the previous life originally had the opportunity to be launched on the market.

But it is still most popular due to policy reasons, the 4G era and the fatal blow of "speeding up and reducing fees".

But that time is still several years away.

Yang Xiao has every opportunity to take it public.

Let's go to the stock market to make money...

As for another product - Kuai Ya.

This is truly a "conscientious work" of Yang Xiao, and he deserves the title of "good man" on the Internet.

It’s not that it loses money to gain publicity, but whether it is advertising monetization or specific economic benefits, Kuaiya is far behind the former.

Even the lifespan is much shorter!

But for now, advertising revenue can support it, and even have a surplus to feed back into the company.

As I said, breastfeeding one child is breastfeeding, and breastfeeding two children makes no difference.

Finally, when they ran out of money and needed to expand the market again, they planned to sell Kuaiya.

Funds are fully invested in promoting the development of WIFi Master Key.

There is no way, the current user market changes every day!

The number of domestic smartphone users has increased exponentially. By next year, the number of users will be close to 4 million!
New smartphone users are the largest group.

Unfortunately, Yang Xiao cannot get involved in this industry.

If he were reborn a few years earlier, Yang Xiao would definitely make a layout in the mobile phone industry and get a piece of the pie.

Just come up with a Pineapple phone, destroy the path of Nicai phone, and then start a price war, and say this at the press conference stage -

“Are you ok?” and “That’s awesome.”

In addition, let’s talk about Junzi’s Xiaomi company.

Xiaomi 1 was officially released on August 8 this year. Its price of 16 yuan caused a sensation online.

Many people were excited as they watched the live broadcast on their mobile phones.

A few days ago, the other party also sent someone to negotiate with Huang Zhengfei and his team, intending to install WIFI Master Key and Kuaiya as built-in applications on their mobile phones.

Yang Xiao took this opportunity to get Junzi's contact information.

I'll see if there's a chance to visit and collaborate with you in the future.

It must be said that Junzi is actually like a time traveler. He has invested in many companies and is a veritable godfather-level figure in the Internet.

Yang Xiao discussed with Huang Zhengfei some development directions of the subsequent business in the company, then wandered around for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, he returned to the rental house.

When Li Yuanbao and Zhou Hongyu saw him coming back, they didn't even let him rest, but told him to go out again immediately:

"Come on, let's go quickly. Ann Hui sent a message saying that her bus is almost arriving at our school. It's just in time for us to go there now."

"Okay, let's take a taxi."

We had agreed on this yesterday. Zhang Wanting, who goes to school in the neighboring Yangcheng, had no plans to go home during the National Day holiday, so she came over and we all played together around Shenzhen.

For example, Window of Shenzhen City, Dameisha Beach and so on.

Yang Xiao actually didn’t have much interest in it, as he had been there once in his previous life.

However, I couldn't resist the enthusiasm of these people and they all felt these places were new and novel.

Especially when they heard that there was a beautiful girl coming with Ann Hui, they became very curious and excited.

ten minutes later.

The three of them came to the main gate of Shenzhen University and waited for their old classmates to arrive at the bus stop.

Just then, not long after, the next bus arrived and Ann Hui walked down from the bus leisurely. With her was a girl with medium-short hair, about 155cm tall, a little short. Not very pretty, but quite petite and cute.

"Mabel Cheung, here."

Zhou Hongyu waved to her and shouted.

The latter came over with a smile and said:
"Is this your Shenzhen University? It feels much more impressive than our school... Oh, you are all so dark that you are almost unrecognizable, except Yang Xiao."

"Nonsense, who doesn't get tanned during military training?"

"Oh, this is Jiang Xiaoyan, she's also from Huicheng, but she was a student at No. 1 High School in high school. Now she's my roommate. Isn't that a coincidence?"

"That's really fate."

"Hello."

When they met for the first time, Jiang Xiaoyan was a little reserved, but she still greeted everyone with a smile.

"Hello, hello." Yang Xiao and the other two also introduced themselves and got to know each other.

Perhaps because they were so far away from home, and since they came from the same place, they quickly became familiar with each other.

Especially Jiang Xiaoyan, who had a natural affinity for them.

Not to mention being from a county town.

When people from other places meet people from the same city or even the same province, they are much less wary.

As the saying goes, when fellow villagers meet, their eyes are filled with tears.

What's more, they are all young people and can integrate with each other more quickly.

Zhang Wanting suddenly seemed to think of something and asked, "By the way, Yang Xiao, where is Luo Yao? Why aren't they together?"

Yang Xiao explained: "Her parents are in Shenzhen, and I have to accompany them. I can't leave for the time being. I guess we can all have fun together in the last two days."

Zhang Wanting pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Have you met her parents?"

"As for him, I met him last time when Luo Yao started school. This time, Luo Yao's parents invited him to dinner."

Zhou Hongyu smiled and interrupted, then nudged Yang Xiao and asked, "By the way, I forgot to ask you, how was the meeting? Are her parents satisfied with you?"

Yang Xiao smiled, recalled what Luo Yao told him, and said, "It's OK, there shouldn't be any big problem."

Zhang Wanting heard this, and the disappointment on her face flashed away. Then she smiled and found a topic to talk about:

"Let's go and take a look around your school. Is there anything delicious in your cafeteria?"

"What's so good about visiting? They're all the same. As for delicious food? I haven't found any yet. The flavors here are too bland. There are a few Sichuan restaurants, but the taste can't compare to ours." Zhou Hongyu interrupted again.

But having said that, the few of them still strolled into the campus.

Where does college students’ sense of novelty generally manifest itself?
It means visiting each other's schools with classmates and friends, and even staying overnight in each other's dormitories after eating, drinking and having fun.

Both Ann Hui and the girl named Jiang Xiaoyan showed great interest and kept comparing it with their own school.

"Your school is much bigger."

"There are more handsome men and beautiful women than on our side."

"The teaching buildings over there are too old."

"That's right. This is Ma Huateng's alma mater. He donated a lot of money to it."

There are too many discussions like this, telling of their respective expectations for college and their confusion about a strange city.

They stayed in the school until about six o'clock in the afternoon.

According to Ann Hui, she planned to experience the food quality in the Shenzhen University cafeteria.

However, Yang Xiao still took them out, found a nice restaurant, and had dinner.

After all, the other party has come from far away, so there is really no need for them to eat in the cafeteria.

Moreover, Zhang Wanting already knew Yang Xiao's identity, so she had to accept it since she couldn't refuse.

While eating, Zhang Wanting also mentioned someone to Yang Xiao.

"Yang Xiao, do you know? Yu Xin has asked me about you several times. Did you delete her?"

"Liu Yuxin? Let her go wherever she wants. Are you regretting it now? It's too late!"

Before Yang Xiao could react, Zhou Hongyu spoke indignantly on his behalf.

Li Yuanbao also chimed in, saying, "Is she still dating that Zhao Huangmao? Or has she changed her boyfriend again?"

Zhang Wanting said: "Yuxin is single now."

"Single? I guess you've announced to the public that you're single, but I wonder how many men you've hooked up with behind her back?" Zhou Hongyu sneered.

Li Yuanbao nodded: "Indeed, it's hard to say."

Even Jiang Xiaoyan, who was standing nearby, had a say on this topic.

"Liu Yuxin? I think I've seen this girl before. There was a boy in our class who was also with her. Once, they hugged each other at the school gate after evening self-study."

"See, she's a celebrity now. Even No. 1 Middle School has heard of her reputation."

Zhou Hongyu originally wanted to curse the bus on behalf of Yang Xiao, but due to the situation, the words were too vulgar so he didn't say it out loud.

Zhang Wanting rolled her eyes at both of them and did not refute.

In fact, when Yang Xiao suddenly heard Liu Yuxin's name, he was stunned for a moment.

Originally he kept Liu Yuxin's QQ number.

But I don’t know if it’s because Li Yuanbao and Zhou Hongyu like to post updates on QQ space.

He boasted about his deeds in Wancheng and published them.

The original "summer job" turned into an interesting experience, which aroused the envy of many people.

Those who are familiar with both of them know that Yang Xiao is definitely the leader behind the scenes.

As a result, after Liu Yuxin found out, she acted as if she had taken a pill of regret and frantically went to chat with Yang Xiao during the holidays.

He even made it clear more than once that he wanted to reconcile with Yang Xiao.

Liu Yuxin also said that she was willing to travel thousands of miles to see him during the National Day to show her sincerity.

Well...if you want to send it thousands of miles away, you can fly to Shenzhen City.

However, Yang Xiao thought she was too annoying and rejected her directly.

But Liu Yuxin still took the trouble to look for Yang Xiao, saying good morning and good night to him every day, and sharing her personal diary experiences. More abstractly, she copied some so-called "literary quotations" she saw on the Internet and sent them to Yang Xiao. One of the sentences was written by Yang Xiao.

I can only say that he is too proactive!
So much so that Yang Xiao deleted her directly and put her on the blacklist.

Yang Xiao was shocked. This was not the end yet. He was still trying to find out information about him from Zhang Wanting in various ways?

What a mess!

Yang Xiao just told Zhang Wanting to stop paying attention to her.

After dinner, the group strolled around a nearby tourist attraction and found a bar to sit in.

We didn't drink much, just a little to relax and have a chat.

During this period, Li Yuanbao seemed to be in love for the first time and fell in love with Zhang Wanting's roommate Jiang Xiaoyan.

Keep talking to her.

It’s just that Li Yuanbao is too straight. When Jiang Xiaoyan asked him about his interests and hobbies, the only one he mentioned was playing games.

After having a few drinks, Zhou Hongyu also became depressed.

He stared at the phone screen, looking unhappy.

Yang Xiao was sitting next to him and took a few glances at the conversation.

The person he was chatting with was none other than Tan Bin’s sister, Tan Yue.

[Zhou Hongyu: Are you free to hang out together tomorrow? ]

【Tan Yue: Who are they? 】

[Zhou Hongyu: I would like to introduce you to some of my classmates.]

[Tan Yue: Is Yang Xiao here? ]

【Zhou Hongyu: Yes.】

[Tan Yue: Forget it. I don’t know some of them. It’s too embarrassing. I want to read in the dormitory.]

[Zhou Hongyu: Then I will come to your school to play with you? ]

【Tan Yue: No need, just have fun with your classmates. 】

【Zhou Hongyu: Okay, good night, go to bed early. 】

Zhou Hongyu put down his phone, took a long sigh, and then drank the beer in front of him.

Yang Xiao watched the whole thing and couldn't help laughing.

"What the hell are you laughing at?"

"Nothing to laugh at."

After Zhou Hongyu finished his glass, he refilled it and planned to clink glasses with Yang Xiao:

"Brother Xiao, have you seen my chat history?"

"more or less."

"Then give me some advice, how can I pursue her?"
