You all chase after the innocent school beauty, then I'll choose the rebellious female school b

Kun was so excited that as soon as the call connected, he kept saying "I've struck it rich!"

Although this is the only news so far, it sounds like good news no matter how you look at it.

The phone call was quite loud. The courtyard was quiet, and Professor Zhang and Ye Yixian were sitting so close that they could hear it clearly.

Lu Yuan told Kun Ge not to get so agitated and to explain what had happened.

The conversation was quite complicated, mainly because Kun was too excited. He kept repeating the same things over and over, and he often went off-topic. He just couldn't explain things clearly in one go, which made everyone anxious.

It's clear that he has serious problems with his communication skills.

He will most likely be at a disadvantage during his graduation thesis defense four years later.

In conclusion, the good news he brought was that the data from the first day of the Love Notes app exceeded expectations.

Lu Yuan initially estimated that the number of registrations on the first day could reach around 50,000.

After all, the publicity efforts in the early stages were there. Not to mention the whole country, just in the provincial capital, the influence of the Matchmaker Association is definitely there.

This estimate is rather conservative, after all, Lu Yuan doesn't want to set his expectations too high, lest he be disappointed if they aren't met.

Although Professor Zhang had never worked on Internet projects, he had some understanding of them, and his estimated value was similar to that of Lu Yuan.

Unexpectedly, the number Kun mentioned was 130,000, and the number is still rising. The number of registered users in the first week may exceed 500,000.

130,000!

This data made Professor Zhang's hand, which was holding a teacup, tremble slightly, and some tea spilled.

Strictly speaking, the number of new registrations should be around 120,000.

To prevent the app from being too quiet when it first launched, the matchmaking organization arranged for 10,000 bot accounts to join in the fun, creating the illusion of a lively and bustling atmosphere for new users.

The core function of the Love Notes app is still sharing daily life in a relationship. Just like Weibo, you can share all kinds of messages as you like, except for illegal ones, of course.

These bot accounts are used to post these everyday relationship updates.

How did the couple's accounts above come about?

Most of them are former clients of the matchmaking service, and some of the photos are from many years ago, giving them a strong sense of nostalgia.

As for whether the person in question gave their consent to have these photos published?

Lu Yuan was unaware that this assistance was provided by the Matchmaker Association, and he had no way of knowing the specifics.

If there are any problems, they will handle them.

This technique of using bots to liven up the atmosphere is no longer an industry secret. Even when major companies launch certain apps, even if there are many failures in the early stages and a pre-download function is added, they still need to add bots or a large number of internal employee accounts to create hype.

On the one hand, it's about creating a lively atmosphere; on the other hand, it's about controlling the direction of public opinion in the community. After all, it's not good for the authorities to intervene directly in some matters; it's more effective for community users to resolve them themselves.

These robots cannot provide real money income. Apart from these, how much direct recharge income can those 120,000 or so users generate?

Lu Yuan's initial idea was that one in ten people would be willing to purchase the Love Notes package service.

Because we never expected to have more than 100,000 registrations in the first month.

Even one-tenth of the population spends a staggering amount.

If each person recharges 100, then 12,000 people would have a huge sum of 1.2 million. Wouldn't that easily raise the urgently needed 800,000?

Is there anything so easy in the world?

Ultimately, the number of users who made purchases on the first day was extremely small, only 1.2%, or about 1,500 people, and the revenue was less than 300,000 yuan.

After deducting recharge service fees, revenue sharing and other costs, Lu Yuan would only actually receive around 200,000 yuan.

Two hundred thousand seems like a lot, right?

Actually it is not.

Lu Yuan has already paid nearly 100,000 yuan in initial investment, and he definitely needs to get these costs back, otherwise he won't have any money to spend in the future.

Then there's the profit sharing among team members, but actually each person doesn't get much.

Lu Yuan had to pay off all the costs before he could earn any money left over, which he could then use to pay off the debts Gao Zhe owed him.

The fact that not many people were willing to spend money was within Lu Yuan's expectations. After all, this was just a new app, and even with all the necessary permits and licenses in place, there was no guarantee that it could operate for a year.

After all, the lowest-priced 99 yuan package only yields returns after a year. 99 yuan is not a huge sum, but for most people, money doesn't come easily. Wouldn't it be better to spend that much money on food or entertainment than to invest in an app that might not even last a year?

Those who are willing to spend money are either not short of money or genuinely value the romantic ritual of the love diary.

Regardless, a good start is a good thing.

Kun Ge couldn't explain the more detailed data in a short time, but a detailed report would be sent to Lu Yuan later, and Lu Yuan could look at it himself.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan let out a long sigh of relief.

Ye Yixian was very happy. He had earned hundreds of thousands on the first day, which was definitely a great start.

Moreover, as everyone knows, the reason why many people are not willing to spend money now is that they are waiting and seeing. If couples who bought the package really receive the reward a year later, the number of people willing to spend money will definitely increase.

Professor Zhang took a sip of tea and asked with a smile, "Lu Yuan, do you think this data represents a gain or a loss?"

Lu Yuan considered it for a moment, "Data shouldn't be viewed from a short-term perspective, but rather from a long-term one. Judging from today's data, it's a good start."

"Yes, everything is difficult at the beginning." Professor Zhang nodded. "But you have already taken the most difficult step, and everything will definitely go smoothly from now on."

"Too."

Lu Yuan smiled with relief.

After that, I chatted with Professor Zhang for quite a while.

The latter suggested that Lu Yuan launch some commemorative benefits, since the platform has just been launched and those brave enough to be the first to try something new should be rewarded.

Lu Yuan had also considered giving these early consumers commemorative medals and various practical rewards, but the specific implementation details still needed further discussion.

……

Lin Na has been staying in the provincial capital recently.

She knew that Lin Kai and Gao Ya had come to the provincial capital, but she just hadn't met with them.

At this moment, she was leisurely lying on the massage chair enjoying the service, with her phone beside her. Yun Duo's voice came from the phone: "Sister Na, is Lin Kai still in the provincial capital?"

"Yeah," Linna said casually. "Didn't Gao Ya's silly younger brother take out a loan with high interest rates? There are only ten days left until the repayment date. Where would they get so much money to pay it back? Xiao Kai treats them like family, so he'll definitely stay and try to figure something out."

"Do they have a solution?" Yun Duo asked worriedly.

She knew that if this problem couldn't be solved, Lu Yuan and Lin Kai's plan to earn ten million in two years would fall through. Although Yun Duo didn't think they had the ability at first, she was just afraid of the worst-case scenario. Now, the worst-case scenario no longer exists.

"What can we do?" Linna said dismissively. "Do you think I don't know how much money they have in their pockets? Unless they keep borrowing, robbing Peter to pay Paul, until the hole gets bigger and bigger and they're completely ruined."

"Sister Na, what if they really have no other choice but to borrow money? What will happen to Lin Kai? No matter what, Lin Kai is our family. He can't be hurt."

"Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on him. He won't do anything foolish."

"What about... Lu Yuan?"

Yun Duo felt that Lu Yuan was the backbone of this group. If there was trouble, he was helpless, but the others were the ones in real trouble.

For some reason, an eighteen-year-old boy always makes people feel uneasy.

"Heh...him?" Linna scoffed. "In a few days, he'll be licking my shoes like a dog."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Yun Duo was clearly from a scholarly family and was well-educated, so she didn't quite understand these things.

Lin Na pursed her lips and laughed, "To be honest, Lu Yuan is quite strong, good-looking, and young. If he's desperate and kneels down before me, I wouldn't mind putting aside past grievances and taking him in as my dog."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a woman rushed in from outside, whispered a few words to Lin Na, and Lin Na suddenly turned pale with fright, sitting bolt upright. "What?"
