Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed Chapter 219 - 124: Battleground Eruption? Nonexistent

Li Yuan’s head ached from thinking. Unable to co up with a perfect solution, he simply decided to stop dwelling on it.

Li Yuan thought to himself, Damn it, I’m done worrying about it. Let things play out. Whoever wants to leave can leave. Whether it’s Bai Weixi, Zhong Tingyue, or Jiang Zhiyu, I don’t owe them anything. I promised myself I’d be a scoundrel after my rebirth, so why am I getting all emotional? Isn’t this just asking for trouble? Shouldn’t my top priority be making more money than I can spend and achieving financial freedom? In my situation, avoiding a battleground is simply impossible. Even if I were a master of ti managent, it would be pointless. A leopard can’t change its spots. Even after being reborn, my groveling nature is still there, just deliberately suppressed.

Li Yuan opened QQ Space to explore the various functions of QQ in this era. After fiddling with it for a while, he organized his page. He went into the QQ Space settings, enabled special permissions, and made it accessible only to specific people. Individuals like Shen Xiyu would no longer be able to see his updates.

Only Little Fish, Xia Zhijin, Wang Shuai, Xu Zhi, and a few other high school classmates retained permission to visit his space.

Li Yuan mused, mocking himself, This feels like burying my head in the sand, just fooling myself. Oh, well. Later, I’ll get on a computer and register a few alternate accounts—one QQ for each girlfriend.

He had been focusing too much on romance lately and had neglected his real work.

Li Yuan glanced at Xia Zhijin, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Zhijin, sothing urgent ca up at the company. I need to head over there for a bit, so I won’t be able to have lunch with you."

Xia Zhijin nodded obediently. "Okay, that’s fine."

When he thought no one was looking, Li Yuan patted her head. He then brought her delicate little hand to his lips and kissed it.

"I’m going to sneak out now, okay? If the professor does a roll call, I’ll have Liu Jia and the others answer for ."

Taking advantage of Professor Yi Gang’s inattention, Li Yuan quietly slipped out through the back door.

Once he was out of the university, Li Yuan felt a wave of relief. Having cleared his head, the irritability from the impending battleground had significantly subsided.

He drove straight to the company offices in Longyu Building.

Li Yuan checked the progress of the various projects and was quite satisfied.

Lin Yuwei spoke with confidence, "Director Li, as per your previous request, we can officially launch and promote the website by this Friday."

Li Yuan looked at the webpage. Although it was still bare-bones, it already had the feel he had envisioned, but it was still lacking a lot of content.

Website developnt, especially for a forum, required a gimmick to draw people in.

"Over the next few days, I want you to find so of the most eye-catching posts online and incorporate them into our website. The gimmick needs to be as sensational as possible to get visitors to click, and more importantly, to stay.

"Additionally, we need to set up a ranking system based on the website’s activity level. Comnts, replies, featured posts, and so on can all count as points. The ranks should be based on gaming tiers: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and King.

"Next is promotion. If we promote a site like this through normal channels, it’ll be too slow. I’m prepared to spend two million yuan on a registration drive. The more people soone gets to register, the more money they can earn.

"We need so catchy slogans. Sothing like: [One Click for Cash! A Ten Million Yuan Prize Pool Awaits!], [Hey Ladies! Share and Download for a Free Gift!], [Download Now for an Instant Reward! What Are You Waiting For, Hotshot?], or [Want to Earn Over 10,000 a Day? Invite Your Friends and Family to Download and Get Paid!].

"You all can brainstorm the specific gimmicks based on my examples and co up with a formal plan. Our target demographic is young people between eighteen and forty, especially university students. Therefore, we need to have so restrictions on new accounts to prevent them from being filled with zombie users.

"Right now, university students are most active on platforms like Qiandu Tieba, Weibo, and Renren. We need to poach them from those channels."

Li Yuan spoke passionately, drawing inspiration from the promotional tactics used in future telecommunication scams.

Although telecommunication fraud was a heinous cri, he had to admit that their creativity and gimmicks were incredibly effective at grabbing people’s attention.

He conservatively estimated that by offering a 0.1 yuan reward for every referral and download, a two-million-yuan promotional budget could tap into a massive market. If handled correctly, it could attract at least ten million university students to register.

How many of them would stick around would depend on the website’s appeal. In this era, website managent was less strict, so they could get away with so edgy and slightly risqué content to boost engagent.

As Li Yuan rattled off his ideas, Lin Yuwei listened intently, scribbling notes with a pen. Many of the promotional thods he suggested were completely new to her, and she blushed as she listened.

No wonder Director Li started his own company at such a young age and has two stunningly beautiful girlfriends. With his gift of gab alone, he could sweet-talk any girl until her head spins.

Li Yuan was starting to feel thirsty from all the talking. If he could have heard Lin Yuwei’s thoughts, he would have spit out his tea. He was already stressed to his breaking point by his relationships; he was on the verge of imploding before he had even begun to enjoy the sweetness of love.

"Group Leader Lin, get the website built and a promotional plan drafted as quickly as possible. Let’s aim to launch officially as early as possible."

Lin Yuwei nodded, then asked with curiosity, "Director Li, how will our website generate profit? Will it be from advertisents alone?"
