When Yang Wei made a cup of coffee for Ding Lei and withdrew, Ding Lei gathered his hands and fingers together, filled with emotion and said, "this time I'm out of sight again!"
Wu Tao knew what he meant, so he didn't point out: "it doesn't matter if you look at my company. Don't look at your own company. Otherwise, it's a joke with the investor's money."
"Hey, I hear what you mean by this. Is it true?" Ding Lei is also a snake beating stick.
But Wu Tao didn't want to say more.
After all, the other party's status and identity are different now. Some words can only be pointed to the end, but it's unintentional to say more.
"Seriously, what are you looking for me today? Don't tell me you're free! "
Ding Lei looked back at the busy workshop outside the glass wall, "I can't imagine that you can really do this campus network mode. What is the scale of registered users now? "
"One million!"
Ding Lei was shocked!
As a result, Wu Tao immediately smiled and said, "that's impossible. 500000? "
Ding Lei was not fooled this time. He even guessed by drawing inferences. It seems that it's not too scary that he hasn't even arrived at 500000.
Unexpectedly, Wu Tao followed the conversation, "it is estimated that it will be almost by Christmas."
"Huh?" Ding Lei was suddenly flashed back, "can Christmas reach the registration scale of 500000?"
Wu Tao nodded without any sense of complacency on his face. Instead, he said with a little regret: "according to the current growth trend, it is conservatively estimated that he will break through the mark of 500000 registered users by Christmas. But the follow-up growth is weak. It's too difficult to be a new website! "
Ding Lei was immediately hurt by 10000 points.
"Boss, how do you want to achieve 500000 registered users in two or three months? It's already prominent, okay? "
Wu Tao was suspicious. "Really? I don't read much. Don't lie to me. "
Ding Lei almost wanted to curse his mother madly.
"Boss, do you know how much IP traffic Lao Zhang's Sohu reached a few months earlier than you? Less than 100000! "
"... and my Netease mailbox, which has been launched for more than a year, how many users are there now, do you know? Less than 200000! "
"So little?" Wu Tao is a little confused. In this impression, the registration scale of each blog is mostly in tens of millions. He thinks 500000 is really nothing, just drizzle.
Ding Lei knocked on the table and said bitterly, "boss, it's good for you to set a high goal. But we should also take into account the current situation of domestic Internet users. The base is so small. If we want to make a breakthrough, we have to wait until the conditions are mature. "
That's true.
Then, Ding Lei said, "but the growth of user scale is only the first step. The key to the next step is how to create benefits. To put it bluntly, it's profit... "
Just then, Qiu smokeless knocked on the door of the office, then pushed it open and said, "boss, a good news."
Then he looked at Ding Lei and lost the following.
Wu Tao waved his hand, "it's all right. You can say directly that President Ding is not an outsider."
Qiu smokeless came in and said, "yes, boss, just now I talked about an advertising business with Yuanqi technology. They plan to use our campus network platform to advertise lotus MP3 players."
As soon as the voice fell, Ding Lei understood it with his face and said, "boss, this is a fat water that doesn't flow to outsiders!"
Wu taobai glanced at him and asked Qiu Wuyan: "how much did you talk about?"
"Well, at my suggestion, they chose the annual contract, 100000 yuan for the whole year!"
"Only 100000?" Wu Tao was shocked and said, "I said Mr. Qiu, you should let others take advantage of your stool! No, I'll call Zixia right away. "
Ding Lei has seen it. They are all their own enterprises. They are left-handed and right-handed. Unexpectedly, they don't think they have enough money.
According to the current scale of the campus network, there are many banner advertisements on the home page of the website, including 100000 yuan a year. After all, the banner advertisement of Netease was less than 10000 yuan.
Seeing that Wu Tao was about to call, Qiu smokeless begged: "boss, I've talked with President Xiao. Can you give me face..."
"Yes, Zixia is not an outsider. Why do you have to be serious with her? " Ding Lei also advised.
Wu Tao picked up the phone and put it down again. That's what he said. Waving his hand, Qiu smokeless went out first, turned back and said to Ding Lei, "are you jealous of my Tianjing company's income? Tell me what's the matter. If you have nothing to do, get out as soon as possible. "
Ding Lei looked wronged and said, "boss, I'm stimulated today, okay? You can't compare 500000 registration and 100000 advertising fees! "
"Come on, get down to business, so that the longer you sit, the more exciting it will be."
"Good, good!" Ding Lei drank his coffee and said, "well, vice president Xue and I have discussed it. I hope you can go to NASDAQ to ring the bell!"
It turned out to be this. No wonder the other party came here specially.
Wu Tao asked, "when?"
"January 29, 1999."
"Then I won't go!" Wu Tao shook his head. "First, there may be no time. After all, it's so close to the root of the year; Second, even if I have time, I can't steal your limelight. Let Jiaqian take the stage for me! "
"Boss, you really won't go at such a good opportunity?" Ding Lei didn't expect that this kindness would be rejected by Wu Tao, and asked with an unbelievable face.
Wu Tao stared, "do I need you to ring the bell twice?"
When asked, Ding Lei nodded bitterly and said the same. Whether it is Tianxing game company or Tianjing Internet technology, they are potential stocks, and there is little problem in preparing for listing.
"But boss, have you ever thought that Netease is the first Internet enterprise listed on Laomei territory in China?"
It does seem to make sense.
Wu Tao looked back and thought, "OK, I'll try to be there then. However, the opportunity to take the stage is still left to Jiaqian. "
Seeing that the other party didn't accept the kindness, Ding Lei was very disappointed.
Disappointed, he couldn't help turning his mind and asked, "boss, how about Netease and Tianjing make a strategic cooperation agreement and let's unite and exchange needed goods?"
Wu Tao looked vigilant, "do you also want to blog?"
Well, it's too much to be suspected. Ding Lei quickly explained: "to tell you the truth, boss, I, Lao Zhang and many people in the industry are generally not optimistic about your campus network. In the short term, they will not follow suit. "
"That's the best." Wu Tao breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at Ding Lei's wronged expression. He was a little sorry, so he reminded him as if he had nothing: "Lao Ding, listing is not the end, but the starting point. You can't relax the burden on your shoulders. No matter what happens after Netease goes public, you have to be down-to-earth. "
"... after all, the Internet bubble is an objective existence. Do not wait until the bubble collapses."
