Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 182 The Booming Plug-in Market

The popularity of the group buying business on Xiaonei.com will inevitably attract the attention of others. In order to avoid being overtaken by the following group buying websites, Jiang Hui quickly launched the group buying business in many cities across the country.

In the past, the group buying industry of Tianchao experienced a series of roller-coaster developments, such as capital darling, thousand regiment wars, malicious competition, IPO failure, capital shortage, layoffs, site closures, intensive cultivation, mobile spring, etc. Fortunately, the exhausted The competition of group buying has risen to a higher level. With the influx of Internet giants led by BAT, the competition of group buying has become a competition for the layout of O2O among the giants.In this life, Jiang Hui wanted to quickly occupy the market and secure his position as the industry leader before everyone reacted.

For Xiaonei users, the launch of the group buying platform provides attractive goods/services and super discounts.This has attracted a large number of users to buy, and Xiaonei will promote users by rewarding users for promotion; users will then spread through the social network of Xiaonei, bringing scale effect.

The launch of Xiaonei.com’s group buying business can be described as killing three birds with one stone. It seems that Xiaonei.com and the student union jointly promoted it when it was first established, and everyone can benefit.The user goes to the merchant to consume, enjoys the discount, and becomes the actual user of the merchant; after the merchant accumulates users, it further understands the needs, develops the value of users again, and improves the popularity and income of the store.Among them, Xiaonei not only increased the activity and income of its users, but also promoted the application of the Guanghui payment platform.

Of course, group buying is just a means of promotion, not a business model.It is a way to gather popularity, and the final operation will lead to traditional sales methods.In the end, the development of group buying websites is either acquired by B2C websites, or they build their own online shopping malls to engage in B2C e-commerce.Perhaps small regional group buying sites will still exist, but there will be no stock market day.

……

"Old Fang, Lao Tang, you should arrange group buying business follow-up in major cities as soon as possible, and pay attention to avoiding some merchants with bad reputations from entering. We can agree that the merchants and users will not transfer the money after a week of group purchase consumption. Merchant account," Jiang Hui said to Fang Dawen and Tang Wenwen.

"This is a good idea. If the scale of group buying increases, we will have a sum of accumulated funds in our hands that can be used all the time without interest, and can form constraints on merchants," Tang Wenwen said, patting his leg with a bright eye.

"We need to make full use of the function of user reviews. For merchants with a high proportion of negative reviews, we need to cancel cooperation in time, and make group buying on campus a website that consumers trust," Fang Dawen said.

"In the initial stage, we can promote it on Xiaonei.com, but I think we will soon have to register a separate group buying company. Otherwise, the audience for group buying on campus is limited. Other websites will soon follow suit and launch similar businesses when they see the popularity of group buying. Maybe I made a wedding dress for someone else," Tang Wenwen said.

"That's true. Now start the registration of the new company. The shareholding structure should be the same as that of Xiaonei.com. After the company is registered, the group buying business will be separated from Xiaonei.com," Jiang Hui said.

……

Xiaonei.com has recently launched new games, video uploading modules, everyone’s complaints module, and group buying modules, which have attracted a lot of attention from the industry, especially game plug-ins, which have begun to make profits. Many game companies, studios, and even individuals are Ask if your game can also be launched on the school intranet.

One of the important reasons for the launch of plug-ins is to attract popularity and increase the stickiness of Xiaonei users. Now after a period of brewing, it can be fully opened to third parties, which can not only enrich the types of plug-ins, but also increase the income of Xiaonei. User's choice.

Jiang Hui quickly arranged for personnel to review and test third-party plug-ins, and the number of third-party applications on the Xiaonei network increased rapidly.

"Wow, Xiaonei finally has chess and card games."

"Hey, there are a lot of mini games on Xiaonei for you to choose."

"There are still people who make plug-ins for English learning. In the future, they can review the fourth-level vocabulary while playing."

"This plug-in that records the aunt is also very interesting."

……

Driven by this wave of plug-in boom, the number of domestic registered users of Xiaonei.com successfully exceeded 800 million, and the number of foreign registered users exceeded 60, and the overall number of users exceeded [-] million.

Third-party plug-ins are increasing, and Xiaonei itself has not missed its homework. In addition to the previously arranged live broadcast platform, travel project platform, and recruitment platform, Jiang Hui also asked Chen Hu to develop a new module for the school library.In fact, when discussing with Du Niang before, Jiang Hui considered whether to tell Du Niang about the library project. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to put it on the school intranet first. After all, college students have a very strong demand for various shared materials. It can fully support the library project.When the users of this platform reach a certain level, they can charge for downloading some files, and the fee will be shared equally between the uploader and Xiaonei. This can be regarded as finding a new profit point for Xiaonei.

The opening of third-party plug-ins not only enriches the product line of Xiaonei, but also provides a new way for the HR department to recruit new people.Many of these plug-ins are developed by small companies or individuals. For these creative and technical personnel, if they can be recruited on Xiaonei.com, they will undoubtedly be a very important technical force, which is higher than the level of freshmen too much.

Although after this period of continuous recruitment, Liu Chujing, the head of the personnel department, helped Jiang Hui recruit dozens of people, but because many people have not completed the resignation procedures, and some are because of the lack of office space before, most of these people have not yet arrived. , coupled with Jiang Hui's continuous digging and development of new projects, so the number of manpower needed continues to increase, and the manpower shortage of Xiaonei network has not only not been alleviated, but has become more serious.

Jiang Hui originally thought about moving to the office in the Science and Technology Building after the data center was fully built, but now it seems that he can't wait.After more than a month of renovation, the office area is ready for use. Although there are still some smells left by the renovation, we have to open more windows and put some charcoal bags to absorb the smell. Jiang Hui plans to officially settle in the institute the day after tomorrow. building.

The general affairs department and the personnel department have notified everyone of the change of office location in advance, and the employees are quite excited that they don't have to work in the rented house at last.
