Chapter 21 Ideas for the New Project
Don't you have any friends?
"Yes!"
"Huh??" Huang Yiliang never expected the other party to answer so readily.
But the next second, he immediately stopped the other person from giggling.
"Did you hear that? She doesn't consider you a friend." Huang Yiliang used a divisive tactic in front of Ya Huazi.
"Hehe, your trick won't work. Changchang and I are best friends, even closer than friends." Yahuazi proudly put her arm around Shuchang's shoulder.
The young girl exudes a strong, assertive aura.
Huang Yiliang's eyes were blazing with gossip.
This guy has a particularly dark side; he suspects the two young girls are having an affair.
"Also, don't flatter yourself. Nobody's looking for you. Changchang and I are just strolling around the Peking University campus." Yahuazi mocked Huang Yiliang by name.
That was indeed one of her goals.
She had originally told her mother that she was going to school to visit her classmates, but her mother was against it. However, when she heard that she was going to Peking University...
Ms. Liu immediately agreed.
Yes, it's such a blatant double standard.
"Let's not get sidetracked. Quickly help me register a Zhiyou.com account, and it would be best if you could also max out the account level for me," Yahuazi said with a beaming smile, trying to please me.
As soon as she got home yesterday, she immediately turned on her computer and logged into Zhiyou.com, but unfortunately she couldn't access the webpage.
Huang Yiliang shrugged: "Didn't I tell you that Zhiyou.com is a regional network, currently only open to students from our Communication University of China?"
"When did you say that?" Toothbrush's eyes widened.
Oops! He looks pretty fierce.
"Then maybe I remembered it wrong," Huang Yiliang said calmly.
"You...you're not planning to connect to the wide area network?" Ya Huazi seemed even more concerned than Huang Yiliang, the founder of Zhiyou.com.
"Isn't this still in the testing phase?"
Huang Yiliang is using students from the Communication University of China as his guinea pigs for internal testing, but it is indeed very necessary to help him find some bugs on the website.
The main problem is that he hasn't solved the server issue yet, and once Zhiyou.com goes live across the entire network, it can't rely solely on part-time students at the school for maintenance.
He needs to establish a formal internet company and recruit professional managers.
Wang Zha and Yi Ran are already pulling strings to get this done.
Internet company licenses are easy to obtain, but Yi Ran said that the Communication University of China has a quota for supporting college students' entrepreneurship every year, and the school leaders can apply to the government for certain office space support and tax reductions.
Huang Yiliang has already rented an office space, but the tax breaks are really helpful to him.
Moreover, if Yiran really manages to get the high-tech enterprise certification he mentioned, it will be easier to get the most favorable loans from major banks when needed in the future.
"Don't worry! Your Beijing Film Academy's Friends Network will be online soon." Huang Yiliang directly promised Ya Huazi a bright future.
Girls her age love this kind of thing.
"You said it yourself! I'm going to record it!" Toothbrush grinned and pulled out his MP3 player.
Huang Yiliang: "..."
Why didn't you say you wanted to check the license plate?
Yahuazi obviously didn't really intend to record the conversation; she pulled Su Chang away, laughing and joking.
"Brother Liang, is she your girlfriend?" Li Erpang, who hadn't spoken until now, asked.
Huang Yiliang retorted irritably, "Is my taste that bad?"
"Ha, then I'm perfect for it!"
Li Erpang quickly declared, "I don't have a girlfriend yet, but I want to pursue her!"
Huang Yiliang rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
So, celebrities are quite difficult to recognize in their daily lives unless they deliberately wear makeup to make themselves known.
Moreover, both Ya Hua Zi and Su Chang are lazy people who don't like to wear makeup, and their bare faces give them a girl-next-door vibe.
Especially Ya Huazi, she's dressed like a country bumpkin, and this kind of slovenly girl would easily get stopped by security guards in high-end shopping malls.
"Let's get down to business first, okay? You've been single for so many years, a few more years won't make a difference," Huang Yiliang suggested.
We were just getting to the crucial point when Ya Hua Zi and Su Chang interrupted us, which was really annoying.
"Of course, making money is the most important thing, Brother Liang. Let's get down to business." Li Erpang nodded in agreement.
"We'll partner up to open an online store on Taobao that specializes in 3C products. I'll be in charge of planning, and you'll be in charge of operations. We'll also hire a few people to handle product selection and negotiating prices with channels. We'll make it the largest 3C product online store on Taobao."
Huang Yiliang used the same ability he had just used to make empty promises to Ya Huazi on Li Erpang.
Taobao is currently in a period of rapid, unregulated growth. Every merchant there makes money; the only difference is how much they make.
Huang Yiliang remembers a guy on Taobao who specialized in selling Korean fashion, and his annual profit in 08 alone reached hundreds of millions.
Unfortunately, Li Erpang wasn't a woman, so he didn't really like eating flatbread.
Li Erpang thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "But that would increase our costs. We might as well invite more partners and build our own website."
Li Erpang already thought Taobao was pretty low-class, and Huang Yiliang had just given Taobao's page design and graphic design a good dressing down, saying that the product categorization was a mess, the search and filtering mechanisms were a disaster, and sometimes searching for a hat would bring up a pair of stockings, and so on.
At that time, Li Erpang had the idea of starting a shopping website with Huang Yiliang.
He has money and connections, while Wong Yat-leung has skills.
"Start your own shopping website?" Huang Yiliang was stunned.
It doesn't seem like it's impossible, but we need to think this through carefully and not rush into it. Taobao has a lot of capital backing it.
"How much money can you get?" Huang Yiliang asked instinctively.
Li Erpang held up two fingers: "Two million. Any more and my legs will be broken."
That's enough. Five years ago, when Alibaba was founded, it only had 500,000 yuan in start-up capital. Moreover, Huang Yiliang himself would definitely have to invest, so it's impossible for Li Erpang to take the lion's share.
"Let me think about it. You need to maintain these forum accounts well, as they will be very useful for our future website development."
Li Erpang was an active member of various forums; in hindsight, he was a social media influencer. Unfortunately, he failed to make good use of his online influence.
"good--!"
After Li Erpang nodded in agreement, he asked, "Brother Liang, could I take a look at your Zhiyou.com website?"
Give me the computer.
Huang Yiliang inserted his USB drive into Li Erpang's laptop and used his self-written remote control program to access Li Erpang's computer in the university dormitory.
The webpage was a bit laggy due to bandwidth issues, but Li Erpang was still engrossed in reading it, clicking on every character that led to the next page.
"Brother Liang, did you really create this social networking site yourself?" Li Erpang's fat face trembled with excitement.
"What else?"
"Then we can definitely open a small section on the homepage and sell our products there!" Li Erpang immediately saw the business opportunity.
Haha, Huang Yiliang naturally doesn't need anyone to remind him in this regard. He didn't do it mainly because he didn't want to ruin the purity and professionalism of the website.
"If our shopping website were even half as amazing as Zhiyou.com, wow—!"
Li Erpang paused suddenly as he spoke.
"Brother Liang, I misspoke earlier. I can only borrow five million at most. At worst, my family will break both my legs if they find out."
Huang Yiliang: "..."
He was starting to regret discussing a collaboration with this guy.
That's absolutely shameless.
