Start earning money as the girl next door

In the wrong hands, it can do bad things.In the hands of good people, such as Zhao Han, it is nothing more than a harmless advertising tool.

As for why we need to recruit female employees...

Nowadays, the Internet has actually become a dog-licker. In the future... as time goes by, there will be more and more male netizens with a dog-licker tendency.

Zhao Han looks down on the kind of netizens who lick dogs. They lick through the screen on the Internet. What can they lick?But... there is no way, this is reality!

For dog licking, you need to use a young lady, and later it was even simplified to a woman who is not ugly, has photos, videos and a character, and will be licked by countless people through the screen.

The traffic of dog licking is also traffic, and it is easy to attract.

Ordinary men are very stingy, but the dog licking group may be more generous.

And just like fishing bait, you need to use a lady to hang and lick a dog.An ordinary young lady is enough, there is no need for anything better.

A girl who is too high-quality will scare people away from licking her, but may lead to no traffic.

"You seem to be the only male in the company. Don't you think this is abnormal?" Chen Wenwen couldn't help but look at Zhao Han with suspicion.

"Sister Wenwen, don't look at me like that. I'm thinking about the development of the company!" Zhao Han said, "Now we are recruiting girls who know how to be in the public, they will be of great use in the future!"

Chen Wenwen looked like he was making it up: "Then tell me?"

Zhao Han said confidently: "For example, in the future, our writers should be a bunch of male writers, right? Editors and the like are not considered separately. If the company arranges a group of employees to chat online, the male writers hope that the ones chatting online will be girls. Right?"

"Useful?" Chen Wenwen was puzzled.

Zhao Han quickly smiled and said: "Writer Encouragement Teacher, that's right - the new profession I invented has great prospects in the future! After our website is established in the future, in the contracted author group, in addition to the regular editor-in-chief, editor-in-chief and other employees, There are also special jobs that are not found on other websites, such as writer encouragement coaches, who are mainly girls. Their work nature is somewhere between customer service and editor’s assistant. They mainly play emotional cards, get closer to authors and inspire creation.”

Chen Wenwen looked like he was urging him to continue making up: "Oh?"

"Suppose that a male author named Instant Noodles has some writing talent, but is too lazy and likes fishing.

A gentle writer encouraged Ms. Shi to discover that he was in Shuiqun. She directly named him in the group and criticized him. Instant noodles, not coding all day long, Shuiqun all day long, what’s the point? Shui Shui Shui, there is This time is not as good as coding one more chapter.

In the group, I criticized him in public, and then comforted him in a private message, Brother Instant Noodles, don’t be angry, I’m a fan of your novel!Updates have been too slow recently. One chapter a day is too few. Can you update it twice a day? …

Think about it, how can a simple young male author withstand this?

Diligent coding without squealing?

After a while, it was updated to two chapters a day. We encourage Miss Shi to follow another routine and encourage three chapters to be updated a day...

For writers whose coding speed is constantly improving, our ladies will encourage them and give them the illusion that ladies like those who can code quickly. There are even some writers who are determined to earn money by coding and marry young ladies.

Guide him step by step to update 1 words a day!

If things go on like this, after the opening of our website, the author's coding speed will be the highest on the entire network. This is not a dream! "

"...You are just like committing fraud." Chen Wenwen couldn't help but feel funny, "Isn't the male author who was induced very pitiful? The young lady didn't like him at all, she just used words to guide him to code diligently! "

"Is it wrong to guide people to code diligently?" Zhao Han sneered, "If he is guided to make continuous progress, his income will continue to increase. Even if he doesn't find a young lady who encourages him, he can still change his life and destiny. What's more, this is what I do. Welfare is actually based on the practices of some companies in Silicon Valley.”

Old capitalist countries have long used girls to attract talented people to work hard.In the early days, he was a knight who fought bravely and would be won over by beautiful women.

Then after the industrial revolution, some genius inventors were attracted by capital and lived a life of luxury and wealth.

In the Internet era, some major IT companies, while recruiting many male programmers, also recruited some women who were not very technical.

...Those beauties hold a variety of jobs in name, but they always have a lot of time, dress up beautifully, and are particularly good at encouraging programmers. This position was later dubbed programmer encourager by some insiders.

Although on the surface, the programmer encourager seems to have nothing to do and has not made much contribution, but in fact he is an efficiency multiplier for otaku programmers who have no time for love.

Of course, some programmers encourage Miss Shi and develop a relationship with the programmers, and there are quite a few who actually become a couple and even get married.

In order to encourage programmers, capitalists are willing to spend a lot of money because there is an excess return on investment.

And this kind of encouragement teacher's job was transferred to the writer by Zhao Han. However, he could only chat remotely through the Internet and could not flirt in real life.

Chapter 76 Wenwen’s clever idea, start some side business first

Monday, January 2004, 2.

afternoon.Four o'clock.

After completing the coding task for the day, Zhao Han also went out to withdraw money from the bank.

After the royalties arrived, Zhao Han distributed 800 yuan to Liu Mengcheng.

Leave part of it as your own living expenses, um, and Liu Mengcheng's meal allowance.

Then, 5000 yuan in cash was injected into the account of Wenwen Jingjing Technology Company as a three-year interest-free loan.

The reason why it is in the form of a loan is mainly for the sake of clear accounting.

The boss’s money belongs to the boss, and the company’s money belongs to the company.In this regard, Zhao Han sets an example.

With Zhao Han's further capital injection, the company's cash on hand exceeded 5 yuan.

However, at present, the company is still only exporting but not importing, and it still needs to wait for output.

"In this way... I write the code quietly. It will probably take a few months to complete the website." After seeing Zhao Han, Chen Wenwen said, "During this period, I am not making any money at all. I don't know what to do. Why don't we do it first?" Let’s start a side job and earn some money first?”

"sideline?"

"Taobao store, does the boss know?"

"I know!" Zhao Han couldn't help but look at him differently, "The second-hand notebook I gave Mengcheng to use for coding was bought on Taobao."

"That's good!" Chen Wenwen said, "I'm afraid the boss doesn't know! Before, when I was working in Zhejiang, there were some young small bosses who couldn't afford to rent expensive stores, so they directly rented warehouses in cheap areas and opened Taobao stores to sell. Clothing and groceries! I asked before the Chinese New Year. There are small business owners who sell tea and clothing. They can sell thousands or tens of thousands a month in a short time, and the profit is almost [-]% of the revenue! Some of them have high gross profit. , it can reach more than [-]%!”

"Oh?" Zhao Han said with a smile, "You can do whatever you want! You are the general manager, so you have this power!"

"Aren't we afraid of non-compliance? I have to report to you and ask for instructions before I decide to do it." Chen Wenwen rolled his eyes at Zhao Han with his charming peach blossom eyes.

Zhao Han was stunned...

Sister Wenwen, well, she is actually quite charming.

Compared with Chen Jingjing who has the bonus of a top student, Chen Wenwen has more charm of a mature woman.

It even evoked those hormonal emotions that Zhao Han had peeped into when he was a boy.

Of course, he quickly got rid of this emotional interference and secretly warned himself that Sister Wenwen should be regarded as his sister and that she would not be allowed to have random thoughts.

"Then let's do it first!" Zhao Han said, "It's not troublesome to register a Taobao store in the name of a company. In the future, if you can still make money, just hire a team to do it. If it's not cost-effective, just stop..."

"Well, that's what I think too!" Chen Wenwen said, "Before, I called her specifically to ask her best friend who had done Taobao, but most people wouldn't tell her.

But she secretly told me that after working for more than half a year, especially since November last year, her monthly profit gradually exceeded 5000 yuan, and now she is almost earning 1 yuan a month.

She asked her how much capital she invested in the beginning, and she told me that she started with less than 2000 yuan. She originally planned to set up a street stall, but she had no shame to go out and set up a Taobao business.Now, you can make a lot of money..."

"Okay! It's a good time to open a Taobao store now when Dad Ma distributes dividends!" Zhao Han smiled.

"Dad Ma?" Chen Wenwen asked curiously, "What is this name?"

"No... I mean Alibaba's boss Ma, Ma plus Baba, it's just an eye-catching nickname." Zhao Han smiled.

Zhao Han does not admire capital, but mainly thinks that Taobao and Alipay are worthy of recognition.

It is true that Alibaba has some foreign shares brought by venture capital, but its foreign shares are gradually decreasing, and according to the historical process, it is gradually becoming domestically owned.

What the hell is eBay?[-]% foreign-owned!There is no domestic investment at all!

Before the rise of Alibaba, it was eBay, a pure-blooded foreign company, which occupied the leading position in China's e-commerce market.

Even if Alibaba's progress is not complete, it cannot be said that its appearance has not made any progress at all, right?

Progress and development are also gradual.

If people behind Ali are dissatisfied, there will naturally be more satisfactory ones that cannibalize Ali's market share.

Just as eBay is dissatisfying, Alibaba has killed the eBay dragon!

In a sense, 04 was the best era for Taobao for merchants and consumers.Later it is not good, because it has become bad.

Now, it smells really good.

"I've never heard anyone call Ali's boss that. Don't give people random nicknames all day long." Chen Wenwen rolled his eyes at Zhao Han.

Zhao Han smiled and asked: "Taobao store, what are you going to sell?"

"Tea can be received in the town. Before Qingming Festival and Guyu, villagers go to the mountains to pick spring tea. It is okay to collect some tea and sell it." Chen Wenwen said, "Although it is native tea from the town, the aroma is not bad, and it costs 100 yuan. The tea leaves are no worse than Longjing tea from Zhejiang, which costs hundreds."

"That's okay!" Zhao Han nodded.

"After spring tea, summer and autumn tea are coarse tea that no one wants. But they are cheaper. The cost of making tea is only about ten yuan. Generally speaking, it is not worse than the tens of yuan per pound in tea shops. "Chen Wenwen added after thinking about it.

"Summer tea and autumn tea are so cheap? How did Sister Wenwen know?" Zhao Han couldn't help but be surprised.

"...You, the young master who has no worries about food and clothing, naturally don't know." Chen Wenwen couldn't help but smile, "Many farmers in the countryside are hired to go to the mountains to pick tea leaves during the tea-picking season. If they pick tea more often, they probably Understand the tea market."

"Oh!" Zhao Han was slightly surprised. After thinking for a while, he roughly understood.

Tea is available all over the country. In addition to the variety, it mainly depends on the picking season.The tea buds picked before Qingming and Guyu are very fragrant.Most teas are similar.

Many good teas can only be sold at a high price if they are made before Mingqian or Yuqian. There are also people who are willing to pick and make them by hand.

No one wants the crude tea that is out of season and is too lazy to pick it.

Those rough teas are basically cut with a machine similar to a lawnmower, and the purchase price is a few cents or a pound per pound.

Fresh tea is dragged to the tea factory for processing, and the frying cost is a few yuan per catty. The final ex-factory price of crude tea can be controlled at 10 yuan per catty.

The cost of this kind of crude tea is not high. It mainly depends on your channels and pricing power. You can sell it for 30 and price it at 30.If you can sell it for 50, price it at 50. If you can sell it for 99, price it at 99.Pricing is relatively casual.

For offline tea shops, consumers have a relatively high threshold for trusting tea shops. If there is not a stable source of customers, it will be difficult to do business.

Nowadays, the tea track on Taobao e-commerce is not too crowded. Selling tea online is actually better than selling tea offline.

At the beginning, Alibaba said that it would make it easy to do business in the world, and his original intention may not be a joke.At least, for now, the original intention has not changed.

Taobao was established in May 03, and Alipay was launched in November at the end of the year.

Starting in 04, Alibaba started looking for venture capital investors to invest heavily in Taobao projects.Probably, in 04 alone Taobao had to raise tens of millions of dollars, setting a new record for the amount of financing for domestic Internet companies!

Then, it’s a big deal, and the money continues to burn!

In the next few years, Taobao will continue to burn money on financing!

Several rounds of financing cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and the money raised was basically used to increase the number of users and expand market share, and to seize the position of C2C boss from the current eBay.

Taobao is currently burning venture capital money... Therefore, merchants and consumers will feel satisfied. This is also the honeymoon period for merchants, consumers and the Taobao platform to enjoy themselves.

Chapter 77 Tea Girl

eBay is actually also very wealthy. The boss behind it is an American e-commerce giant with a market value of tens of billions. The amount of money invested is no less than that of Taobao.

but……

eBay's decision-making is made at its headquarters in the United States, not China's eBay, and the response is half a beat too slow.

When the top management finally passed the decision to deal with Taobao's previous challenges, Taobao started to play new tricks again.

eBay has lost its leading position in the entire Chinese e-commerce market, and has even become the tear of the times. In the final analysis, it is - acclimatization and arrogance!

The best era for Taobao for merchants should be when eBay was still the leader, and Taobao was constantly burning money and giving away profits.

With such an attitude, I wish I could teach merchants step by step how to open a Taobao store to make a fortune, and provide all kinds of traffic for free.

Later, when Taobao defeated eBay and found that no challenger could shake its position, its attitude changed.

Merchants began to discover that the boy who originally claimed to slay the dragon had slain the original dragon and turned into a new evil dragon...

Those practices are actually routine operations for Internet companies!

In the early days, the platform received capital money, lost money to expand the market, and gave profits to merchants, so that everyone would come to do business on its platform and expand the market together.

Once the platform achieves its goals and becomes bigger and stronger or even obtains a monopoly, the next goal is naturally to earn back the capital burned in the early stage.

Now, Zhao Han felt that during this period, he would try his hand at opening a Taobao store and earn some profits first.

What's more... Zhao Han has plans to build an e-commerce platform in the future.

Many of the ways to monetize Internet traffic in later generations are mainly advertising, content payment, games, e-commerce, and finance.

Various Internet giants have built various platforms. In the end, if they want to monetize, there are only a few tricks.

Accustomed to the "innovation" of later generations of Internet giants, Zhao Han knew that when it came to monetization, it was basically just changing the soup without changing the medicine.

Find ways to attract users first, with a small goal of [-] million users.After users are attracted, no matter what the platform is for in the first place, it will eventually move towards the mixed use of one or more of several monetization methods to complete the thrilling leap from traffic to operating income.

Zhao Han and Chen Wenwen were also cheerful people. They agreed to build a Taobao store and immediately started taking action.
