Chapter 0062: Promotion Channels

People often tend to be self-righteous, thinking they are strong enough to solve all problems, or that they might fall into danger at any moment. But in reality, each of us is just an insignificant molecule in this world. No matter how many natural or man-made disasters occur, the world continues its revelry, unaffected by anyone's will. Even if someone disappears, aside from their parents and loved ones, no one will cry or laugh for that person.

If you consider yourself too important, in the end, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

The computer configuration in 1999, in Zhao Fusheng's eyes, was actually not that great. Accustomed to fiber-optic internet speeds and handheld computers, he felt a strange sensation when looking at the bulky desktop.

After all, more than a decade later, even computer monitors would no longer be these spherical CRTs but LCD screens.

"Alright, little brother, since you know computers, I won't beat around the bush. Do you want a brand-name or a custom-built one?" Su Xia smiled and said to Zhao Fusheng.

He was an insider; if she tried to play tricks, it would be beneath her. Besides, he was a friend of her best friend's; if word got back to Bai Jie, it would be embarrassing.

Zhao Fusheng thought for a moment: "Custom-built. You decide on the specific configuration."

"No problem. Xiao Zhang, come here..." Watching Su Xia briskly instruct the store staff to assemble the computer for Zhao Fusheng, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him.

He suddenly realized that the problem that had troubled him for days seemed to have found a direction.

In the past few days, Zhao Fusheng had been considering how to promote the navigation webpage once it was built. In his previous life, he only knew from the news that hao123 was eventually acquired by Baidu, but he didn't know the specifics. How an ordinary navigation webpage develops and what processes it goes through was undoubtedly a very troublesome issue.

It was said that the founder was a junior high school graduate with poor family conditions, so Zhao Fusheng was sure that at the very beginning, he would face the same difficulties as himself.

That was how to promote his navigation webpage.

This website, which he named wo123, was in Zhao Fusheng's eyes undoubtedly the most advanced navigation webpage of this era. Once users came into contact with it, they would surely love it. But the problem was how to get more people to access wo123.

Originally, Zhao Fusheng was at a loss because he had neither the channels nor the funds to support promotion. Now, he suddenly found that he seemed to have found a bit of direction.

Soon, the computer was assembled. Su Xia had someone install the system and said to Zhao Fusheng with a smile, "Seven thousand two hundred and twenty. Just give me seven thousand. A friend of Xiao Jie's is a friend of mine. If you need anything in the future, just come by."

As she spoke, she handed Zhao Fusheng a business card with her phone number and the store's address.

Zhao Fusheng nodded and took out his bank card to pay: "Okay, Sister Su, rest assured. If there's anything computer-related, I'll definitely come to you."

He meant it sincerely. Zheng Yao glanced at Zhao Fusheng a bit strangely, feeling that this kid was secretly plotting something.

But since Zhao Fusheng didn't say anything, she didn't ask further.

Carrying the monitor and tower, he took a taxi back to the dormitory. After assembling it, Zhao Fusheng made another trip to the post office near the school to apply for internet installation.

As for Zheng Yao, she didn't come back with Zhao Fusheng at all, saying she had things to do.

Zhao Fusheng didn't mind. Recently, Zheng Yao had indeed been very busy. After the advertisement she helped shoot passed the CCTV review, the Future Advertising Studio gained some fame in a small circle in Ninghai. After all, in a third-tier city like Ninghai, producing an ad that satisfied CCTV was a novelty.

Liu Shaomei had her own circle. Occasionally, when business partners chatted, even a single word was an intangible form of advertising.

...

...

At that time, not many people were installing computers, especially students. A computer cost several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan, plus internet fees, which was undoubtedly unaffordable for most students.

Even Zhao Fusheng himself felt pained at the more than eight thousand yuan spent in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, he also knew that you have to spend money to make money. If he didn't spend this money, he wouldn't be able to create more economic value.

Two days later, the post office staff came to install the internet cable. Zhao Fusheng specially bought them two packs of cigarettes, not expensive ones—five-yuan-a-pack Honghe.

"Thanks."

After seeing off the installation workers, Zhao Fusheng returned to the dormitory, turned on the computer, dialed up, and went online.

The internet speed was decent. Perhaps due to the configuration, Zhao Fusheng could feel that although the computer's speed couldn't compare to what he used in his previous life, it was still acceptable.

After uploading the domain name and performing DNS resolution, a series of steps completed, the wo123 website was officially formed.

People are actually like this: often, they don't really like something, but rather the satisfaction that comes after succeeding at it.

Looking at his webpage displayed there, Zhao Fusheng suddenly felt a sense of contentment.

Next was the issue of how to promote the webpage.

With that in mind, he pulled out Su Xia's business card and revealed a smile.

The key to everything lay with Su Xia.

Early the next morning, Zhao Fusheng got up, tidied up, went out, took the bus, and arrived at the computer mall.

"Sister Su, busy?" Zhao Fusheng greeted Su Xia with a smile, standing naturally in front of her.

"Oh, Xiao Zhao, what's up?" Seeing Zhao Fusheng appear, Su Xia was first startled, then smiled and said, "Is there something wrong with the computer? Bring it in, and I'll have someone debug it for you."

She thought there was an issue with the computer installed yesterday.

Zhao Fusheng shook his head: "The computer is great, and surfing the internet at home is very comfortable. I'm here today to discuss a business deal with you, Sister Su."

Su Xia was taken aback; she didn't quite understand what Zhao Fusheng meant.

Zhao Fusheng looked at Su Xia and smiled: "Sister Su, how many computer stores are there in this computer mall?"

"Over a dozen," Su Xia said to Zhao Fusheng.

"What's the daily number of computer builds?"

"It's hard to say, because the daily customer flow varies."

Su Xia was puzzled by Zhao Fusheng's questions and asked strangely, "Why do you care about that?"

Zhao Fusheng chuckled: "Sister Su, I want to discuss a deal with you and ask for your help."

Hearing this, Su Xia frowned slightly, and her look at Zhao Fusheng changed a bit. She felt that this young man seemed to be plotting something she didn't know about.
