After completing the agreement with Apple, many reporters were waiting at the Chengdu Airport and the California Airport, trying to corner the mysterious Fairy Company Chairman. Little did they know that the boy had already boarded the plane and returned to New York, the easternmost city in the United States.
city.
In order to be busy with her choosegirl website, Tang Mingxiang worked hard and did not go back to China to reunite with her lover during the summer vacation. Finally, Xiao Qi threw himself into the trap. Of course, Meiji's classmate tried her best to act coquettishly and asked Xiao Qi to accompany her for a few days.
He spent a lot of time with Huangfu Cai in China, and it was easy to see Qiao Guoer and Shen Wuyan. Only the beautiful and charming girl was separated by the Pacific Ocean. Xiao Qi naturally cherished her more, so for her
The request was readily agreed to.
The lectures at Columbia University were much more rigorous than Tang Mingxiang had imagined. The girl who had just made up for the language barrier had to run around school and the company every day. She dared not say anything else, but she had developed this tenacious spirit.
They bought groceries and cooked together sweetly, and had a lot of affection. Tang Mingxiang's smile was so special these days.
Some boring people who knew that Xiao Qi was coming and wanted to have a meal were directly chased away by the beautiful and charming girl. In the short gathering time, they could not be disturbed by idle people.
Except for Xiao Qi who did not go to Columbia University, when the beautiful girl went to choosegirl's company, Xiao Qi also went with her.
Two months later, ChooseGirl is no longer a company with a dozen people and a few guns. Instead, it has gradually increased to more than 20 programmers, 50 customer service staff, 100 group purchase liaison planners, and 30 people.
The position of an office worker.
Although it has not yet been fully launched, everyone who comes to this company is full of confidence in choosegirl. The creativity of the group buying website has impressed them all, and they also firmly believe that their efforts will be successful.
In order to recruit talents, Tang Mingxiang also used a headhunting company in a fashionable manner. As a result, the current monthly salary and office expenses have reached 1 million US dollars. This does not include the Internet service package fees that have been paid in October.
On the one hand, the monthly expenditure has reached a frightening 10 million US dollars!
Internet services in the United States are very competitive, and the rates are not expensive, but the U.S. dollar is very valuable. Tang Mingxiang was actually a little worried when she saw that she spent about 80 million yuan in one month.
When building a website, don’t think about making money as soon as you start it. You must first calculate the loss period.
If the loss period is less than 36 months, then it can be considered a good website; if it can barely turn a profit in 60 months, it is worth continuing to invest; if there is no progress after more than 60 months, then it can be completely abandoned.
Find another project to do.
In fact, if it is not an amazing website, it will basically take many years to stop losing money. Then it will slowly make a small amount of money.
For example, portals such as Huaguo's Xinglang, Wangyi, etc. have struggled for seven to eight years, more than ten years, before they can say that they can finally make money every month.
Although it is only a few tens of millions, which is ridiculous compared to the huge investment, it is still much better than those websites that keep throwing money and eventually go bankrupt.
Fortunately, Tang Mingxiang's 900 million yuan was not converted into U.S. dollars at once. It was only deposited in Citibank and was exchanged for expenditure when it was needed every month.
Calculated based on the rate of depreciation of the US dollar, she can survive for up to one year.
If Xiao Qi hadn't given her a guarantee, she would definitely earn more than ten times the return within a year. Xiao Nizi would now be willing to find her lover for a loan.
According to Tang Mingxiang's plan, the stall was not that big at first. He just looked for group buying resources in New York, Washington, Pennsylvania, Virginia and other surrounding states.
However, the 100-person group purchase liaison planner is still busy collecting information, conducting local interviews, group purchase negotiations, etc. After repeated failures, they have now prepared more than 500 catering group purchases with ease.
Just wait until this month’s website is online, and we will release them one by one!
Advertising is also going on. As early as the test phase some time ago, netizens in these states saw the advertisement, and more than one million netizens expressed interest in this new type of website.
This number is very incongruous compared to the population of more than 50 million in several states, but considering that it is a new website and a new concept, it is already good to have such an effect in the initial stage.
We can’t expect everything to be as explosive as the dreampad, right?
It was also on the third day after Xiao Qi came back from California, at nine o'clock in the morning on October 12th, Tang Mingxiang brought Xiao Qi to the company. Under the excited eyes of everyone, he clicked the button to launch the website, officially announcing
Chosegirl started online operations.
For the first batch of group purchases, Tang Mingxiang selected the ten most famous restaurants, which are all century-old restaurants in these states. Tang Mingxiang himself led a group of employees to inspect and eat at them one by one. Everyone felt that
I was very satisfied and decided to make them the first batch of main group buying products.
In order to persuade these century-old stores to accept the new thing of group buying, the group buying liaison planners recruited by Tang Mingxiang really worked hard and almost had to stalk them to get their approval, but they also got the most discounts.
Once the discount is reached, at least there is only a discount, and the time is strictly stipulated.
Don't think they have high demands. In fact, there are many century-old stores that cannot be negotiated no matter what method is used, so they have to give up in frustration.
The American people are still very simple. They will not believe boring advertisements such as "1988, now only 198, be the first to call, big surprise 98".
Moreover, those affected by the publicity are almost all locals, and many people know about these ten famous century-old stores.
Seeing that they usually do not discount, they actually participated in the group buying event this time. Americans who like to try new things became the first to try new things. They clicked the group buying button one after another and gave it to choosegirl.
Placed one order after another.
All right.
Trying new things is a fascinating experience.
Choosegirl website, ten century-old stores, what the customers did not expect was that in just half a day, these ten century-old stores would be completely packed!
It was originally from 2pm to 5pm and from 9pm to 12pm to entertain group buying customers.
As a result, at only 2 p.m., more than 30,000 people placed orders, and then swarmed to the nearest century-old store, wanting to taste the best food.
Then……
Then it exploded!! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please read it.)
