I can become stronger by paying salaries. I have one billion employees!

Chapter 54: Crazy fission, new customers increase rapidly (3K reading required)
"Student Chen Yansen, have some tea! It's just a matter of finding a financial officer to help you with your billing. To me, it's a piece of cake."

Cao Dahua leaned back on the sofa, patting his chest and boasting.

"Then I'll trouble you, Teacher Cao."

Chen Yansen picked up the teacup and took a sip, then smiled at Cao Dahua.

"Next February, a number of universities in Hui'an Province will hold a competition for college student entrepreneurship projects. Is Mr. Chen interested in participating?"

Cao Dahua took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

When Chen Yansen heard this, he immediately guessed that this was probably what Tang Qingshan meant, and without thinking, he said, "Of course, what are the benefits?"

In his opinion, participating in this college student entrepreneurship competition is a pure waste of time.

But since it was Tang Qingshan's idea, he could just let Song Yuncheng or Zhuang Rui go. They didn't have to go, but he had to pocket the benefits.

Cao Dahua shook his finger, a helpless expression on his face that said, "You little brat!" He paused and said seriously:

"The top three will receive prizes ranging from 10 to 50 yuan. In addition, the finals will also invite some well-known alumni and entrepreneurs from Hui'an, especially graduates who hold senior positions in venture capital institutions."

Having said that, Cao Dahua gave Chen Yansen a look that said "you know what I mean", with a smile on his face, waiting for the other party's praise.

"People like Shi Yuzhu and Wang Chuanfu?"

Chen Yansen asked.

Cao Dahua's face froze, and he said with a wry smile, "Don't even think about getting a deal with a boss of that level. Let me tell you something: if the project can take first place, raising 500 million in financing won't be a problem."

500?
Who do you look down on?
Chen Yansen curled his lips, feeling quite disdainful. FoxTao currently has a total of 160,000 registered users, with daily active users stable at around 20,000, more than 3000 orders per day, and a gross profit approaching 15,000.

Once the 0 yuan bargaining function is launched and achieves the expected effect, 5 million will only be his gross profit for about 20 days.

"Five million? Then I'll prepare carefully later."

Chen Yansen didn't want to dampen Cao Dahua's enthusiasm, so he deliberately made a surprised sound and pretended to take it seriously.

"I understand. Have some tea."

Cao Dahua finished what the principal asked him to do and grinned.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Chen Yansen drank the tea in one gulp and then stood up to say goodbye.

Cao Dahua did not try to persuade him to stay, and continued to live his life leisurely, humming some tuneless lyrics.

Back on the second floor, everyone was busy testing the '0 yuan bargaining' function, and requests for bargaining could be heard continuously in the room: 'Wenbo, help me bargain', 'Zhuang Rui, why don't you check your QQ messages, help me bargain', 'Chen Xu, can you lend me your Newman phone to see if the browser is compatible'.

Chen Yansen smiled slightly, walked to his seat and sat down, opened Zhuang Rui's requirements document and read it again.

Damn, this kid is so bad!

Zhuang Rui divided the bargaining progress bar into three parts: bargaining for old customers, bargaining for new customers and bargaining for users who have not placed their first order.

Simply put, old users can get the lowest price cuts, and can only cut 99.9% of the progress bar. The remaining 0.1% requires inviting new customers or users who have not placed their first order to help, and ultimately success can be achieved.

The underlying logic has been hard-coded, and the value of new customers, old customers, and users who have not placed their first order are all written in the document.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, after careful testing, Zhang Wenbo and Xiang Pengfei found some more bugs. After fixing them all, they turned their attention to Chen Yansen.

"Let's go online! Song Yuncheng, send the configured page link to Wenbo."

Chen Yansen nodded slightly and spoke loudly.

"Okay, Brother Sen!" Zhang Wenbo nodded and called Zhuang Rui, Song Yuncheng and Chen Xu. The four of them walked into the temporary meeting room in 204 and started working on the final online work.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Wenbo made an OK gesture to Chen Yansen through the glass.

Chen Yansen clicked on the link to the event page, and the first thing he saw was an event banner labeled 'Get it for free for 0 yuan'. From top to bottom, the prizes were an iPhone 4, a Nokia 5230, a Sanxing I8000, a box of apples, milk, tissues, and 1000 yuan in cash.

The rules of the event are at the bottom of the page. The gameplay is simple and straightforward. Invite new and old users to help, and you can win an Apple mobile phone worth up to 4999 yuan.

"@Everyone cut me, thank you!"

Chen Yansen casually forwarded the link to dozens of QQ groups, and then waited quietly for the news to break out.

"Brother Sen, your account has been hacked? Is this link a Trojan horse? Don't click it!"

"I'm going to cut you with a knife. Are you kidding me?"

"Brother Sen, I helped you cut a knife, can you really get this phone for free?"

"Student Chen Yansen, I can help you cut the price by 39 yuan!"

"Senior, is this Fox Tao's new activity?"

High school groups, campus card agent groups, freshman exchange groups, etc., all became lively.

"We have a new activity for our project. Welcome to participate. It is real and effective. I hope everyone can get an iPhone for free."

Chen Yansen replied once more, wondering whether he should quit the group first, so as to avoid being criticized in the future.

Bargaining is a really annoying tactic. For example, my ex-girlfriend called me late at night to ask me to download Pinxixi; an old friend I hadn't contacted for 20 years suddenly sent me a message just because I was a new user.

Chen Yansen had no other choice. His funds were limited, and if FoxTao wanted to develop rapidly, he could only use some unconventional means.

Wang Zihao and the other two are also making efforts. On the one hand, they spend money to buy hot search terms, and on the other hand, they frantically forward activity links on the campus network, college student forums and Tieba, and post on social platforms with different personalities.

For example: "Brothers, I got the uncut version of Titanic, here's the link"; "The story of seven men and a little girl, here's the link"; "My ex-boyfriend has AIDS, should I go to the hospital for a checkup?"

These promotional messages spread rapidly on the Internet like Trojan viruses.

At the same time, the external investment group placed interstitial advertisements on video websites such as Youku, Tudou and Liujianfang, and also bought some marginal advertising spaces on the three major portals.

The ad material is an iPhone 4 mobile phone with the eye-catching words "Get it for free for 0 yuan", and the click-through rate is very high.

Until it was completely dark, everyone was still guarding the computer. Chen Yansen sighed, took out his phone and called the Shuangqing Hotel outside the school. He ordered more than 1000 dishes in one go and asked them to pack them up and send them over.

On the big screen, the number of registered users that day rose rapidly.

On weekdays, it is difficult to exceed 1000 registered users, but now it has reached more than 10,000.

An hour later, two staff members from the restaurant drove over in a van to deliver the food. This was the first time they had received such a large order, and they were afraid that the food would get cold and the customers would be dissatisfied.

"Rest for a while and eat!"

Chen Yansen slammed the table and shouted loudly.

"Holy crap! Brother Sen, you're treating me to a delicious meal!"

"Wow! How many dishes are there?"

"Brother Sen is awesome!"

When everyone heard this, they put down their mice and flattered him with a grin on their faces.

"Is this a Gou Ba? Once sales exceed 10 million, we'll go straight to the Sky Garden in the city."

Chen Yansen said in a flat tone.

With FoxTao's development to this point, no one thinks Chen Yansen is bragging anymore. Instead, everyone is full of expectations.

After all, the Sky Garden is the most luxurious hotel in Xucheng, with an average consumption of 800 yuan per person starting from there. In the past, they couldn't even think about it.

"Brother Sen, can I get a discount?" Zhang Wenbo scratched his head and asked with a chuckle.

"Yeah, Brother Mori!"

As soon as Zhang Wenbo finished speaking, several people followed suit.

"Break your head! Goal accomplished, bonus, raise, and seafood dinner, everything."

Chen Yansen cursed at Zhang Wenbo, and he also said this to everyone present.

In an instant, everyone was full of energy and wanted to put down their chopsticks and get back to work.

On the other side, Shanghai is thousands of miles away.

Zhang Peng was running from room to room in the dormitory building with his mobile phone. In the last FoxTao voting event, he won 888 yuan in cash and successfully withdrew the money to his account.

As a result, his trust in FoxTao increased significantly in an instant. In just one month, he not only placed more than a dozen orders on the website in one go, but also mobilized his friends to help him bargain from the moment the '0 yuan bargaining' activity was launched.

Who doesn’t want an Apple phone worth 4999 yuan?
Most people are too embarrassed to do so, so they can only ask their classmates and friends for help.

But Zhang Peng was different. He seemed to be possessed at this time and started to canvass the boys' dormitory. He first promoted the last Fox Tao voting event to everyone, then took out his mobile phone and told everyone that there was an event where you could get a free mobile phone, and asked if they wanted to participate.

This may seem unreliable, but the actual success rate is quite high. After all, the thing that college students have the most is time.

After working all night, Zhang Peng's progress bar reached 93%, and he was only 7% away from getting the phone for free. This made him so excited that he couldn't sleep well all night, and he continued to bargain with others the next day.

There are many people like Zhang Peng. Seeing that the progress bar is almost at the bottom, who can give up the mobile phone that is so easily accessible?
Having already put in so much effort, the cost of silence is too high, driving them to continue bargaining.

When Chen Yansen walked into Room 206, Zhuang Rui rushed over excitedly, shouting, "Brother Sen, this is awesome!"

"You're the cool one!"

Chen Yansen rolled his eyes and said unhappily.

"After the 0 yuan bargaining campaign went online, 46,000 new customers registered through the event link in just 16 hours. As the number of participants increased, the rate of new customers increased."

Zhuang Rui was so excited that his brain couldn't stop working. He didn't hear what Chen Yansen said at all and just kept reporting the data.

"Good! Keep it up!"

Chen Yansen's expression remained calm. In his previous life, he had worked in the e-commerce field for more than ten years and had successfully started a business. Naturally, his vision and pattern were not bad. Moreover, after his rebirth, he was always ahead of the times.

For him, success is expected, and failure is unexpected!
Just then, Cao Dahua came over with a smile on his face.

Chen Yansen looked up and saw that it was an acquaintance.
