Chapter 33 A Girl's Thoughts
To make a mark in the mobile internet sector, the first step is undoubtedly to build a traffic pool.
With a traffic pool, once the mobile internet era truly begins, you can make a fortune no matter which vertical field you choose to delve into.
For example, Meituan, Didi, Douyin, Kuaishou, etc., could all be turned into the shape of your brother Cheng.
How to build a traffic pool?
In the first generation of the Internet, whoever controlled the portals controlled the world.
The second generation focuses on the platform and prioritizes traffic.
As a member of the younger generation, Zeng Cheng would definitely choose to build a platform.
To be more specific, there's the social networking section—for example, you could start with a campus forum, which has the lowest cost.
Wang Xing's Xiaonei.com was acquired by Chen Yizhou a couple of years ago and renamed Renren.com. You could totally copy it.
First imitate, then surpass.
For example, the methods used by Xiaohongshu and Zhihu to attract traffic and create hype in later generations would be a game-changer in this era.
There is a very good chance that they will undermine Renren.com's core user base—the college student population—and launch a new and winning streak.
Although Renren.com was at its peak in 2009, with 70 million registered users and 10 million daily active users, the collapse of a kingdom often begins at its most prosperous period.
That year, Renren.com was locked in a fierce battle with the up-and-coming Kaixin.com, a battle so intense it was almost head over heels.
Chen Yizhou even pulled a stunt by creating a fake Kaixin001, which fooled many users of the real Kaixin001.
Although the defendant lost the case, he only had to pay 400,000 yuan in compensation.
It's not just winning, it's absolutely winning!
Chen Yizhou is indeed very smart.
Zhou Hongyi once said that among the Hubei people, Chen Yizhou is the smartest, he is the third, and the second is that man named Jun'er.
However, in Zeng Cheng's view, Chen Yizhou is a typical example of someone who is clever but lacks wisdom. Dealing with such a person is not as difficult as it seems.
Zeng Cheng could have taken advantage of Chen Yizhou's preoccupation with fighting with Kaixin.com to quietly start a fire on the university campus, gradually eroding and eventually destroying Renren.com.
The reason for not attending prestigious universities in developed coastal areas such as Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Fudan University, and Zhejiang University is due to entrepreneurial considerations.
In 2009, Renren.com nearly unified all universities in China, but it had not yet fully established a barrier to entry, leaving room for others to exploit its weaknesses.
Renren's dominance is greater in the north than in the south, and greater in the east than in the west.
Therefore, starting with universities in the southwest region and gradually eroding Renren's core user base is the most appropriate approach.
Zeng Cheng has been really busy lately, learning to drive in the morning and trading stocks in the afternoon. As a result, he hasn't taken Yu Baiwei out to play for more than ten days.
Although Zeng Cheng had told Yu Baiwei long ago that if she wanted to chat with him, she could just send him a message on QQ, and that no matter how busy he was, he wouldn't be too busy to chat with her, Yu Baiwei rarely sent him messages.
It wasn't that Yu Baiwei didn't want to chat with Zeng Cheng, but rather that she was afraid of disturbing him.
However, after not seeing Zeng Cheng for so many days, Yu Baiwei would still feel stifled and irritable.
As the saying goes, once people have expectations, their mood becomes unpredictable.
Two trees do not form a forest; a heart resides beneath a field.
A feeling that could perhaps be defined as lovesickness gradually fermented and spread in her heart.
It was another boring afternoon.
Yu Baiwei pushed open the window of her room and looked at the sunset on the horizon. Her gaze quickly locked onto the most beautiful fiery cloud.
I suddenly remembered a conversation I had with Zeng Cheng, and that's how this thought came about.
Could Zeng Cheng also be looking at this cloud? Otherwise, how could it be so beautiful?
This is probably what a young girl's thoughts are like.
Before meeting Zeng Cheng, Yu Baiwei had no experience in getting along with friends, and she had to learn everything from scratch.
Besides learning from Zeng Cheng, she also occasionally uses search engines—for example, she just asked a question to a search engine.
"My best friend is very busy and can't take me out to play, what should I do?"
That's what the search engine told her.
First, understand and accept, adjust expectations, and accept the reality that good friends cannot always be by your side.
Secondly, proactively communicate, express care, and convey support.
Third, reduce dependence on friends and find your own hobbies and interests.
Yu Baiwei followed both the first and second rules.
Although Zeng Cheng didn't take her out to play during this time, he did chat with her on QQ and call her, so it was alright for her to bear with it.
The third one is the most difficult.
[Reduce dependence on Zeng Cheng? I feel... I can't do even a little bit.]
Finding hobbies and interests—so what are my hobbies and interests?
After frowning and thinking for a while, Yu Baiwei took out her notebook and started writing and drawing.
A few minutes later, the following words appeared on the notebook.
[Name: Yu Baiwei]
[Hobby - Zeng Cheng.]
[Interests—Playing King of Fighters and swimming (just kidding), I'll play King of Fighters and swim with Zeng Cheng!]
*Beep beep* — A QQ message has arrived on my phone.
Yu Baiwei quickly opened it and found that it was sent to her by Zeng Cheng, her expression instantly brightening.
【Yu, tomorrow is the first day back to school. If your class dismisses first, wait for me at the bulletin board at the school gate. If our class dismisses first, I'll wait for you there too.】
【Um!】
Yu Baiwei replied quickly.
After thinking about it, he added his signature three-part smiley face emoji combo.
On the day I returned to school, besides receiving my graduation certificate, I filled out my college application with the help of my teachers.
Zeng Cheng has already told his parents and school that he does not plan to go to Tsinghua or Peking University, but to Sichuan University instead.
Zeng Liqing and Sun Feng must have been surprised—if they hadn't passed the exam, so be it, but if they had, why didn't they go?
Even if you don't go to Tsinghua or Peking University, you should at least go to Zhejiang University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, or Fudan University.
Although Sichuan University is not bad, it still lags behind these top universities.
Zeng Cheng had his own plans, but he couldn't tell his parents the truth, so he could only come up with a lame excuse about being homesick.
He displayed Oscar-worthy acting skills, grabbing Sun Feng's arm with red-rimmed eyes, and said, "Mom, your son has never been away from you in all my life. If I were at Sichuan University, I could take a bus for more than an hour to get home if I wanted to... Besides, I've never been very healthy since I was a child. I'm sure I wouldn't be able to adjust to the climate and food in another province. How could you bear to see me like that?"
The fake crying brought out real tears.
Sun Feng's eyes immediately reddened, and she stopped pressuring Zeng Cheng to attend those top universities.
Sichuan University is fine, it's not that bad.
Zeng Liqing's mouth moved, clearly wanting to offer more advice, but he swallowed the words back.
Oh well, whether it's a top-tier university or not, it's all the same.
Parents who love their children plan for their long-term future—this is a principle that the couple surely understands.
However, the couple longed for Zeng Cheng to be by their side, enjoying their company.
I never expected him to become any earth-shattering figure.
A little wealth brings peace, and a simple life is a blessing.
The next day arrived quickly, and Zeng Cheng called Li Xingzhi, and the two brothers arrived at Dezhou No. 1 Middle School right on time.
The first thing to do after returning to school is to get my graduation certificate, and then I fill out my college application under the guidance of my teachers.
Zeng Cheng wrote down "Shuzhou University School of Economics" as his first choice.
Luo Wenjuan, who ranked second in the class, went to Zhejiang University.
After learning from Li Xingzhi that Zeng Cheng was going to Sichuan University, Xia Ning also decisively applied to the School of Economics at Sichuan University.
However, given her grades, she probably won't get in.
Xia Ning was also aware of her own limitations and chose to accept the major adjustment.
After learning about this, Qi Jiahao also applied to the School of Economics at Sichuan University.
He scored almost 20 points higher than Xia Ning, so he'll definitely get in.
Li Xingzhi moved closer to Zeng Cheng and told him that he planned to apply for the civil engineering program at Southwest Jiaotong University.
Zeng Cheng: "..."
You silly roe deer, you're obsessed with civil engineering, aren't you? Didn't you get enough of being a construction site dog for ten years in your past life?
