Reboot 2003

Chapter 5 005: Too Early

Decided on the name of the company and made a logo... Time is limited, so I won't write other content by myself.

Chen Qin first registered an email address, found a few colleagues, and sent them an email, saying that he was an advertiser and was interested in Internet advertising business.

Soon, a colleague replied to the email, and the person on the other side was probably working overtime. The returned email introduced the company profile, business scope, product advantages and trademark history in detail. Chen Qin asked them about the current basic product pricing, and the other side quickly introduced it.

After reading it roughly, Chen Qin copied the same explanatory email and made some changes.

The first is to change the names of all peer companies to 'San Diego, USA', and add some introductions such as 'professional team tailor-made promotion plan', 'one-to-one corporate marketing plan', 'support online payment function, allowing you to enjoy world-class advertising services without leaving home'.

Then the advertising price was increased by 10%. This is the pricing during the bubble period, and it should have been increased long ago.

In this way, I made an email advertisement for advertisers, and then began to send it to various places—Ali and Conghui.com have many merchants who have left email addresses, and the new version of China Telecom Yellow Pages also has them.

After the email was sent, nothing happened. Of course, there was no way to do it. After all, it was already off work. In short, he sent the email first. He would work for two hours tonight, and by tomorrow, he might be able to bring some bad guys over.

Just as he was getting excited, the high school student next to him came over: "What are you playing?"

The internet cafe is a place full of young people's adrenaline. From the outside, it looks like a gathering place for delinquent teenagers. Barbed words and provocative fights have almost become one of the stereotypes of the place.

In fact, there are quite a few such people, but Internet cafes are not that dangerous to ordinary customers. Sometimes neighbors look at each other and ask "what are you playing?" It is actually quite friendly, which is one of the standard Internet cafe social modes.

Chen Qin couldn't explain what he was doing, so he could only say, "I'm sending emails to netizens."

The big kid in high school enthusiastically pointed him out: "Now I use QQ for chatting, you register a QQ account, that can chat in real time."

"No, I'm still busy."

Chen Qin continued to send his emails, and the older boy saw a bunch of Santiago, but couldn't understand what it was, so he said, "What's the point of this, Internet cafes are so expensive, you just play word games?"

Chen Qin casually perfunctory: "Then what are you doing?"

The older child became interested: "We are playing a miracle, this is super awesome."

"Aren't everyone playing legends?"

"Legendary is not good, legend points card." The older child said, "Our miracle is a server that does not require card, enter 10 times the experience, 20 times the drop rate, there are more people, super cool."

Chen Qin understood a little bit, and finally turned his head to take a look: "Private server?"

"Who knows!" said the older child, "Anyway, we'll have a good time, let him care about public servers and private servers!"

Chen Qin nodded: "You guys play, I'm only eight years old, I can't play these things!"

Of course the elder child didn't believe his nonsense, and while Chen Qin was talking, he leaned back in his chair and looked at the computer screen of the elder child next to him. The other party thought that Chen Qin was interested, and explained to Chen Qin the various benefits of this private server.

Of course, Chen Qin knew what a private server was, but this time he was reminded that the server side of early online games was relatively sloppy. If he could get the server code of the game, he could package the game into a stand-alone version to play by himself, or get a server and open a port for others to play.

There are few private servers who are more casual, and the parameters can be changed at will, as long as everyone has fun.

However, there are also some private servers that are commercially operated. These private servers are not officially recognized. On the one hand, they use cheaper prices and consumption than the official ones to attract players, and on the other hand, they do not need to pay developers a commission. It is a completely profitable business.

Of course, Chen Qin didn't plan to do this business. As a reborn person, Master Chen still tended to use legal means to make a fortune.

However, in 2003, the biggest Internet trend was online games, and players' private servers were undoubtedly participants who could take a share of this trend.

However, some commercially operated private servers want to attract players, and promotion and marketing are indeed a big problem. If they are small, no one will know, and if they are arrogant, they will be noticed by the officials...

"Does your private server have a webpage?" Chen Qin asked, "Or do you have an official email address?"

The older child was puzzled: "If you want to play, just use the patch."

"I don't play, but how did you find this private server?"

The older child replied: "When we need a patch, we usually go directly to his QQ..."

Chen Qin asked for QQ, and the other party urged Chen Qin to add a direct question, but Chen Qin directly added a suffix of QQ mailbox, and the same advertising email was sent and ignored. The older child was bored, but he only felt that Chen Qin was an ignorant kid, so he didn't tell him more.

Just like that, time passed by, people came and went in the Internet cafe, the office worker sitting at the door left, and a middle-aged man playing legend came.

After a while, another high school student also left, but the high school student next to Chen Qin said, "I'll play again." When it was eight o'clock, Chen Qin sent all the e-mails that were relatively easy to find.

During this period, most of the emails sent by Chen Qin disappeared like nothing, but he also received some replies one after another.

"Thank you, no need." This is probably an honest person who hasn't received much spam.

"Which city is your business in?" This is a layman who doesn't understand online advertising.

"If you're interested, please contact xxxx." This is an advertiser with a big airs. After all, he is the father of the funder. It's normal to have a big airs. It's a pity that Chen Qin can't even make a phone call now.

As for other people, there are still quite a few people who are interested. There are not many fraudulent information in this day and age. After Chen Qin posted a round like this, it seems that few people suspect that his "San Diego Company" is a special scam...Of course, it doesn't matter if you doubt it, anyway, it's enough if someone believes it.

Although Chen Qin has limited collection methods, limited service capabilities, and relatively dark business hours, it is really not very convenient to find a big boss.

But... no matter how many times you cast a broken net, you can always catch fish.

Just when Chen Qin was thinking of getting off the plane earlier to save a lot of money, there was a ding dong in the mailbox, and another email came.

Open it up——

"Hello, I want to make a third-tier game classified text advertisement, but our company does not have a license for this business, can you push it?"
