My rebirth is different

Page 415

The website opened very quickly, much faster than those portal websites such as Sina NetEase. Xiaoli felt that she had just pressed the Enter key, and the web page had been displayed.

Of course, the website is not officially launched yet.

On the entire page, only one person's profile picture was displayed, and of course it was Yu Wenfei.

Under Yu Wenfei's bright smiling face is a countdown, "-28:03:29 until the opening time".

The numbers are constantly beating, and Xiaoli can understand it. It is 28 hours before the opening time of the station.

Xiaoli let out a long breath, stretched out her right hand, and lightly stroked the computer screen, and there was Yu Wenfei's face.

After reading it for a while, she put this website into her favorites, closed the webpage, and then turned off the computer.

She had already made up her mind that when that day came, she would sneak up at night and see her cousin as soon as possible!

…………

Starting from the 26th, Star Technology has really launched a publicity offensive. The overwhelming advertisements let colleagues see what it means to be rich and powerful!

Printed newspapers and magazines, major online portals, major forums, and even TV have Facebook advertisements.

Whether you know Yu Wenfei or not, you should know that there is a Facebook that is going online.

As for what this website does, we will know by December [-]st.

Seeing such a scale of advertising, ordinary people just lament "wealthy" and "rich", but some colleagues have already panicked.

"What exactly does this Facebook, this Star Technology do? It's not a portal website, is it? Hurry up and investigate!" Sina Headquarters, Mr. Lin couldn't sit still.

These days, those who dare to burn money like this are basically portal websites.

Because the portal website was considered by the Internet practitioners at that time to be the most promising model, because other models are not as convenient as the portal website for advertising!

And advertising is basically what the Internet industry can think of, the largest and only traffic monetization model...

…………

The domestic Internet circle is still very small, and Star Technology didn't deliberately keep it secret, so people from Sina soon found out.

"Boss, that Facebook is for blogging, just like Blogging China..." Assistant Hui reported.

"What? A blog?! What kind of tricks can a broken blog make that is worth spending so much money on promotion?" Mr. Lin was puzzled.

Of course he knows what a blog is. He also looked at Blog China after it was opened. His comment at the time was that this is a simplified version of the forum.

For forums, there are Tianya, Maopu, and Xici Hutong in China.

But even if it achieves the scale and influence of Tianya, can it be compared with a portal website like Sina?

Chapter 354 Will it be the second Yitang?

The news spread quickly, especially in the Internet circles. In less than a day, the news of the second "Yitang.com" in the Shanghai city spread all over the country.

"Have you heard that Yitang.com has returned from a dead body again, and was bought by a bully, and relaunched a ghost blog site. Sure enough, it is still the old Yitang's style, nothing else, just a lot of money!"

"Haha, those people from Yitang.com really did harm to Yitang, and they still didn't give up. After being acquired by the new company, they somehow fooled the boss and continued to do Yitang's business. It's a broken blog site, look at this The advertising density of a few days, tens of millions must have been thrown away! This is even crazier than the opening of Yitang's website in the past two years."

"Hehe, everyone knows what a blog is. It's just a simplified version of a more professional forum. Can this thing be used to make flowers? Not to mention making a profit, is the money earned enough to buy servers and pay for broadband? Spending so much money on advertising? Hey, I really envy the Internet companies in the big magic city, they are really rich!"

"I can't help it. There are many financial institutions in the big magic city, and there are VCs everywhere. If you fool around with a VC, the money will be burned casually."

"Yeah, our capital can't compare. There are too many talented people here in Mader, all of whom are top students from Tsinghua University and Peking University. There are few VCs. It's hard to get a little venture capital. We can only spend carefully and spend it, and even advertise. , we advertise by posting on various forums to promote it!"

"What's the name of that website, Facebook? Did he think he was singing, lol..."

Star Technology and Facebook have become jokes in domestic Internet circles.

Fortunately, this company was founded by Yu Wenfei's personal investment. If it was invested by a certain venture capital, it is estimated that this venture capital will start to fidget now.

Indeed, judging from this style of promotion, Facebook is indeed very similar to Yitang in the past.

Style highlights a rich!

No one can understand why Star Technology is willing to spend such a large amount of money on a blog site.

In 2002, blogging was definitely no stranger to domestic Internet personnel, because there were too many elites and turtles in the Internet field. They spoke fluent English, and if they took out their diplomas, they might be Harvard, Ma High-achieving students from the province and the University of Chicago.

Classmates and friends are all over the world, and there is no new technology in the Internet field that they do not understand.

The reason why the blog came out in 97, until 2002, after five full years, there was only one non-professional person in China, a person engaged in IT reviews, who set up a blog site.

That's not because everyone is not optimistic about the blog, thinking that there is no prospect at all.

In the eyes of everyone, this thing is a very simplified version of the forum.

No, even the social attributes of forums are much stronger than blogs!

Because in the forum, in every post, countless people can participate in the discussion.

And it can be easily divided into many categories, and netizens with different interests can find what they are interested in.

What about blogs?

It's more like a personal forum, only the moderator of the forum can post, others can only read and leave comments, there is no sense of participation and interaction at all.

In the eyes of all people in the industry, it is not impossible to make a website like a blog, but it can only be played as a hobby.

It is obviously impossible to expect this thing to be commercialized to attract traffic, grow bigger and stronger, until the traffic is realized.

…………

The discussion in the circle has also reached the ears of Star Technology employees.

Lu Qi came to Yu Wenfei's office angrily, "Mr. Fei, everyone in the industry is laughing at us now! Star Technology and Facebook are well-known in the industry, but it's a pity that they don't have a good reputation!"

Holding a coffee cup, Yu Wenfei asked calmly, "Look at our jokes. Our website hasn't launched yet. How can there be any jokes to read?"

"Call us stupid! Say we set up a blog site and spend so much money on promotion, the money is wasted. And say... and say we are the second in Yitang! Hmph, these people, typical eaters If they don’t say grapes are sour, their own company has no money, so they are not willing to spend money on promotion, and when they see other companies spending money on promotion, they will speak sour words.”

This is also the sore spot in Lu Qi's heart.

When he first entered Yitang, Lu Qi was also in the prime of his life and full of ambitions. He hoped that under the leadership of Mr. Tang, he could create a "bright and yellow era" and change the way of life of a generation of Chinese people!

As a result, Ming Huang didn't see it, but the company "gone yellow" first!

Lu Qi, a high-achieving student who graduated from Massachusetts, is now too embarrassed to contact his former classmates.

Because when everyone chats, everyone is at Microsoft, Nokia, and Citigroup Goldman Sachs.
