Since they are reborn, they must be supported by the school beauties.

Chapter 168 Full of Enthusiasm
After understanding Chen Cheng's definition of a fishpond, Xiao Peng, who was most sensitive to the product, asked Chen Cheng a question:
"Mr. Chen, should we open up registration for fishponds?"

"What I mean is, for example, although the system has a default fishpond for Jiangcheng University, can the students of the Computer Science Department of Jiangcheng University also open a small fishpond for the Computer Science Department?"

"Furthermore, I think the 'fishpond' shouldn't be limited to just one college under the school. If everyone has any hobbies or interests, could we also set up a related 'fishpond'?"

Chen Cheng's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Isn't this exactly the same approach that Baidu Tieba uses?
Xiao Peng was able to think of this in such a way that he could apply what he learned to other situations; he really does have some ideas.

If the authority to create fishponds lies with the official authorities, then the authorities will directly generate fishponds for each school registered with the education department.

This does not grant users the permission to create their own fishponds.

Once this permission is granted, it's like getting to the heart of Baidu Tieba. Anything in the world, as long as it's not illegal or prohibited, can be used to register a fishpond (a community for users to fish).

Recalling the history of Tieba in its previous life, Chen Cheng praised, "Senior Xiao's idea is very good. If we open up the permission to create fishponds to all users, then fishponds will probably spring up like mushrooms after rain. In that case, users can create a fishpond with whatever they like as the keyword. It's a great idea."

At this point, Chen Cheng smiled and said, "However, this situation is not suitable for us at this stage. Fully opening up permissions will lead to a large number of 'fish ponds' in a short period of time, and some fish ponds may even only have the creator himself. This will cause a lot of waste of our resources. Moreover, we need to take it step by step. We can't give users too much at once. If we give them too much, they will not cherish it."

Xiao Peng nodded slightly and said, "That makes sense. Opening up too many fishponds at once might result in users being too scattered."

Chen Cheng agreed, saying, "In our first phase, we will resolutely use schools as the benchmark. For each school, the system will automatically generate a fishpond, not giving users the opportunity to build their own fishponds. Otherwise, if users are too scattered, the natural boundary of the 'university' fishpond will be lost."

“Sometimes, users need a sense of boundaries. It’s like a football league, where every club’s fans need a home ground, and that’s what clear boundaries are.”

At this point, Chen Cheng shifted his product thinking from Tieba and said with a smile, "However, we can treat the smaller fishponds under the larger fishpond as a task reward to incentivize users in the larger fishpond."

"For example, when the number of users in the Jiangda Fishpond exceeds 500, the Fishpond becomes eligible to open a new Fishpond. In the future, for every additional 500 users, a new Fishpond can be opened. As for what the new Fishpond should be called, whether it is for the School of Computer Science, the School of Journalism and Communication, or the School of Foreign Languages, we need to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the users. We can have the most active users in the Fishpond each initiate an option, and then let the 500 users vote together. The Fishpond with the most votes will be opened."

"In this way, students from all the colleges and universities at Jiangda will be scrambling to open their own college's 'small fishpond,' and they will have to mobilize the enthusiasm of other students, such as attracting more users, votes, and supporters."

"Moreover, the 'small fishpond' is not limited to a certain college; it can also be a keyword. For example, if Jiang University has many game enthusiasts, they can apply to establish a game 'small fishpond' under Jiang University's large fishpond. As long as they can get enough support votes, they can build this fishpond. At that time, each small fishpond will be earned through everyone's efforts, so its popularity will definitely be guaranteed."

“We can even add certain assessment criteria to the small fishpond, such as at least ten people logging in and signing in every day. If a fishpond has less than ten people signing in for five consecutive days, it will face the system’s ‘refilling’. Nobody wants their hard-earned small fishpond to be refilled by the system, right? This will also ensure that everyone can continue to participate and interact.”

The downfall of Baidu Tieba was partly due to the profit-driven nature of the operating company, and partly due to its loose management and chaotic order.

Chen Cheng's idea was relatively simple. He didn't want to make money from everything on Renren.com. He didn't want to put up ads in every empty space, nor did he want to sell every fishpond with a price tag. He hoped to make Renren.com a clean and refreshing community, and then build a healthy and reasonable profit-making logic on that basis.

Xiao Peng was genuinely surprised that Chen Cheng could identify the pros and cons of his idea of ​​creating a custom fishpond and building his own fishpond in a very short time. In his opinion, Chen Cheng's solution was clearly more reasonable, more mature, and more sustainable.

A reliable boss and a reliable product greatly boosted Xiao Peng's confidence in Xiaonei.com. He told Chen Cheng, "This requirement is not difficult to solve. I think if everyone works overtime, it should be online as early as next week."

Tang Jiakai smiled and said, "President Chen, Senior Xiao is very capable in development. Last year, he worked with his mentor on the school's internal management system, so he has experience in large-scale projects. I think we can have Senior Xiao lead our development in the future."

Chen Cheng naturally had no objections and readily agreed, saying, "Then let Senior Xiao take the lead and get it started as soon as possible."

At noon, the campus network entrepreneurship base on the second floor of the Sichuan restaurant immediately entered a busy working state.

To boost morale, Chen Cheng worked alongside everyone at noon, and arranged for the Sichuan restaurant owner to prepare a menu of rice bowls for everyone, allowing them to enjoy their first working lunch.

Chen Cheng ultimately set a standard for everyone's work meals, which consisted of a rice bowl with a soup. There were many kinds of rice bowls and five or six kinds of soup to choose from.

For white-collar workers, such meals are certainly not considered lavish, but for these college students who haven't yet graduated, the stir-fried rice bowls at the restaurant are much better than the large pot meals in the cafeteria. They can't afford to eat this every day, let alone two meals a day.

On the first day of work, everyone was very dedicated and full of energy.
-
The Yan family owns multiple companies and employs over 30,000 people in southern Jiangsu and across the country.

As a long-established family business in the real economy, the Yan family has a wide range of businesses, with electrical appliance manufacturing and chemicals being the most important.

In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy, industrial development has entered a period of rapid growth. Whether in the electrical appliance or chemical industries, the rejuvenation of employees and management has become a trend. Under the Yan family's companies, there are at least 5,000 university graduates, and at least 40% of these people work in front of computers.

This morning, near the end of the workday, these people suddenly received a special task assigned by the administration: to register on the school's intranet, complete their personal information, and search for and follow Yan Ruoxuan.

At first, no one took it seriously. Everyone knew that the boss's surname was Yan, so Yan Ruoxuan was either the boss's daughter or a relative.

As for registering an account and following, it's most likely a task related to studies or work, and the boss asks his employees to help complete it, which is understandable.

So, these employees didn't delay and quickly opened the school's intranet, followed the instructions to register an account and complete their information.

However, Renren.com is like a new social world that has been quietly prepared for everyone. Once you complete your profile, it will immediately match you with a batch of accounts that you might recognize.

Although the user base of Renren.com is not large enough at present, it is a decentralized social network with users all over the country. So no matter which university these employees graduated from, they can always match a few alumni on it.

As a result, everyone's attitude towards Renren.com underwent a huge change.

At first, it was just to complete a small task assigned by the leader. After the task was completed, everyone began to immerse themselves in the various functions of the school network.

Once a social circle is opened, it's like Pandora's box, holding a strong attraction for everyone.

Some people who have used Renren (校内网) and followed each other on the site's alumni or even classmates immediately and instinctively recommended the site to other students.

It's like pouring thousands of bottles of ink into clear lake water, causing it to quickly spread and diffuse.

Most of the employees at Yan's companies did not take a lunch break that noon.

People sat in front of their computers, constantly exploring the world of Renren.com, and even building their own homepages and expanding their own social circles.

As Chen Cheng ate his rice bowl, he glanced at the backend of the school's intranet and found that the number of new users had suddenly surged. In one morning, the number increased by 10,000, and in less than an hour at noon, it increased by 20,000.

Chen Cheng was surprised to see such a large increase in internet usage at noon, which he found rather strange, since it wasn't peak time for internet users yet. The real peak time was from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM.

He felt this was thanks to the new round of user acquisition competition, so he took a look at the current data of the user acquisition competition.

What surprised Chen Cheng even more was that the winner of this new user acquisition competition so far was Yan Ruoxuan.

Moreover, Yan Ruoxuan is far ahead of the second place.

She attracted 2,300 new users, while the second-ranked person only had a little over 500.

Chen Cheng couldn't understand why Yan Ruoxuan had suddenly gained so many fans.

He knew his own logic: the fans the system pushed to Yan Ruoxuan were not counted in the number of new users acquired.

So, he checked the registration IPs of Yan Ruoxuan's new fans in the backend and found that most of them came from southern Jiangsu.

Yan Ruoxuan was originally from southern Jiangsu, so Chen Cheng immediately understood that Yan Ruoxuan must have asked her family for help.

In just one afternoon, more than two thousand people suddenly registered accounts to follow her; her mobilization ability is truly astonishing.

So he picked up his phone and called Yan Ruoxuan.

As soon as the call connected, he asked Yan Ruoxuan, "Class monitor, did you tell your family about the school's intranet?"
