Reborn on the Internet: Starting with Games

Chapter 336: Seeking transformation, targeting Weibo
"Hello?. It's up to you. As long as it's a star who wants to work with you, we can negotiate. The more the better. We'll pay for it. As for the opportunity to expand our influence, it's good if we don't charge them. It depends on the other party's celebrity status. If it's Jackie Chan, Gong Li and the like can be given some entry fees, and other little shrimps can come as you see fit. Okay, okay, let’s do this for now!”

Previously, Century Youyuan.com was just a gathering place for netizens to communicate, play, and interact.

After the Goddess Contest, Century Friendship Network has now become a hot spot. Many celebrities have a very keen sense of smell and come over after smelling the smell. One by one, they ask about cooperation methods and want to join.

Are you asking for help and want to get paid?How can there be such a good thing, both want and want, greed and luck, no wonder so many celebrities later got 404 for tax evasion, I can only say yes!
After all, this is a new way to expand influence. It is much simpler than making movies and singing songs. It can also be promoted through here, and even publicity expenses can be saved a lot.

Chen Hao looked at the public opinions on the website.

He read the messages and comments above and didn't care about shady stories or back-room operations. Anyway, netizens have sharp eyes and have their own righteous men to speak out for him.

However, there is another initiative that is more interesting. I actually proposed donating money to Century Friendship Network. Are you afraid of being pornographic?
When did he, the annual charity ambassador, become the target of charity?

Chen Hao was a little helpless. Do I look so poor?

But that’s right. Just like iQiyi, JD.com and other leading websites later, they became very popular and prosperous, with revenue in the hundreds of millions. Netizens thought that these leading websites were making huge profits. In fact, each one was losing money compared to the other. .

It's all an illusion.

After a while, Li Wu reported the statistics of Century Friendship Network.

During the Night of the Goddess, the website data doubled from before the event was held.

The number of registered users has reached 1 million, and the highest number of online users has exceeded 7 million, and is currently stable at around 2000 million.

The effect of diverting traffic to YY is also very obvious. After this battle, it is currently divided into two worlds with QQ.

To hold a goddess competition, the cost of endorsement fees, prizes, server expansion, etc. is about 3000 million.

The recharge income of Century Coin has exceeded million in just ten days. Who just said that we were losing money?

Compared with money, it is its rapidly growing scale and industry-breaking influence.

This is what Chen Hao values, and the flash sale method of Taoyoubao Mall has confirmed the market acceptance. In addition, the technical architecture and server performance have also withstood the initial test.

After all, it is not a long-term solution for a social website to rely on three or two social games that are popular across the Internet. After all, everything has a life cycle.

When you are at your peak, you need to find a new way out. User interaction is very active in the goddess competition, which provides good soil for the subsequent transformation of the website.

Next, the people in the community were doing the final finishing work, while Chen Hao was checking the relevant information about the blog on the Internet.

In 2002, Blog China was established and became a knowledge portal website, starting the comprehensive enlightenment and promotion of blogs in China.

By the end of 2003, BlogNet had become the number one Chinese blog website in the world.

In 2004, the number of domestic blogs reached 300 million, and the total number of domestic Internet users in the same period was 9400 million. About one in every 30 Internet users is a blogger.

At the beginning of this year, various portal websites that were originally not optimistic about the prospects of blogging began to take action. Sina took the lead in launching blogs one after another. NetEase and Sohu reported in the media that they are also following up intensively and will launch blogging services when the market bottoms out or early next year.

Other traditional forums are also showing interest in blogging and embracing change.

Other employees looked at the boss writing and drawing something on the laptop with pen and paper, and they were a little curious, but they didn't dare to ask.

After a while, the boss stopped and called them into the conference room, presumably to make some big move.

This made them a little excited. The Goddess Competition was exhausting, but they felt full of accomplishment. It was an experience that they could excel in.

The two came to the conference room.

"I thought about it and decided that the PK mode can be retained and used to screen out some amateur beauties."

"Amateur?" "That's not important. Just understand that she is a common beauty. The next thing is the focus. We have to transform."

"Transformation?" It is not a poorly managed business that needs transformation to get out of trouble. Currently, Century Youyuan.com is booming, so why does it need to transform?

Li Wu couldn't keep up with his boss's thinking for a while.

"Yes, when a road comes to an end and there is no way out, you need to open up a new road and continue to move forward, and be prepared for danger in times of peace. Otherwise, when the market changes, it will be too late to react. The market waits for no one."

"Well, that's what the boss said."

"This is the rough sketch I just made. Take a look at it first."

When Li Wu took a look at the result paper, he saw that it was a rough website layout. He had made some changes to the existing website. It couldn't be said to be drastic, it could only be said that it was completely different.

Abandon the original left-right structure and change it to a T-shaped structure.

The categories such as updates, logs, and games on the left are now placed in horizontal columns.

Directly below is an input box for publishing content, below is the content display area, and on the right is something similar to a ranking list

It does look more concise this way, focusing on the display of content.

Then I saw that some of the function names above have also changed.

Chen Hao explained from the side, "First of all, the name is unified, that is, the original concept has changed. The log is called blog, the updates are called Weibo, and the topic square is simply called the square. In the future, our website blog and Weibo will be the media for content dissemination. , topic is just one of its functions.

Another change is the layout. The content area removes page turning and displays it directly using a cyclic loading method such as waterfall flow. Content posted by followers is displayed first, and then others.

The right side is the hot list used to display related Weibo posts with the hottest topics. Below are those who are interested. You can think of the specific algorithm yourself.

The way to publish content also needs to be richer. In addition to adding emoticons, pictures, and topics currently, small videos or GIf animations can be added as appropriate to evaluate the network situation of existing users.

Oh, don’t change the length, it’s still 140 characters. If users want to post a long article, let them post it on a blog.

In the end, the new Century Friendship Network only has three major categories: Weibo, blogs, and games.When users click on that category, they will be shown the corresponding content.

Now celebrities will gradually move in. I will tell Li Fang to invite all kinds of great minds, including literary writers, experts, scholars, and athletes. If possible, we will also bring in relevant functional departments and institutions. Don’t we already have a red V? Have the stars been certified? In the future, blue, green, and yellow will be added. Tencent will make yellow diamonds and green diamonds, and we will also make red V, blue V, and red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

I don’t want our website to be just a social networking site. I want Century Friendship Network to become the leading social media in China and even the world. "

Li Wu wrote quickly and began to memorize vigorously. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. He understood some things and others he didn't understand, but it didn't matter. He digested it slowly and didn't ask again if he didn't understand.

Although he didn't understand it, it didn't stop him from being shocked. He was originally thinking about adding games and functions to the website to keep users from losing.

The boss has begun to jump out of the cage and plan for transformation. He can't help but focus on the country and even the world. Is this the pattern of the boss?
It feels like the website has been revamped, with social networking + portal + celebrity influence + content output. It is simply inferior to similar websites, and all blogs, portals, and social networking sites have been queued up and sidelined.

The more Li Wu thought about it, the more excited he became. He looked at this man with admiration. His far-sighted view of the overall situation, his constant self-examination mentality, and his vision of the sky were an example for him to learn from in the future.

He is not very smart, but he knows a truth. If you follow a giant, you will gradually become stronger. What he has to do now is to keep up with the boss, and that's it!

"The name and domain name will also be changed by then. After all, it is not appropriate to call it Century Friendship Network. Let me think about it first! Go down and evaluate the construction period, and then report to me!"

"Copy that!" Li Wu nodded, his body trembling slightly with excitement. He felt a little cold but more hot.

There is pressure and challenge, but more importantly, it is motivation and passion, and I can’t wait to get started right away.

This vote was done, and he had a hunch that he would be able to move forward within the group!
Desire, or ambition, is the driving force for a man to keep moving forward.
