Chapter 575: It's Crowded!
After completing the agreement with Apple, many reporters waited at Rongcheng Airport and California Airport, trying to surround the mysterious chairman of the fairy company, but they didn't know that the boy had already boarded the plane and returned to New York City, the easternmost part of the United States.
In order to be busy with her Chosegirl website, Tang Mingxiang gritted her teeth and worked hard, and she didn't return to China to reunite with her lover during the summer vacation.
There is a lot of time with Huangfu Cai in China, and even Qiao Guoer and Shen Wuyan are easy to see, only the bright and moving girl is separated by the Pacific Ocean, Xiao Qi naturally cherishes her a little more, so he readily agrees to her request.
The lecture at Columbia University is much stricter than Tang Mingxiang imagined, and the girl who has just made up for the language barrier runs in school and the company every day, and she doesn't dare to say anything else, but this tenacious spirit has been exercised.
Sweetly shopping for vegetables and cooking together, having fun and making love, Tang Mingxiang's smile these days is very special.
Some boring people who knew that Xiao Qi was coming and wanted to eat were directly blown away by the bright and moving girl.
In addition to Columbia University, Xiao Qi didn't go, and when the beautiful girl went to Chosegirl's company, Xiao Qi also went with him.
After two months, Chosegirl is no longer the size of a leather bag company with a dozen people and a few guns, but has gradually increased to more than 20 programmers, 50 customer service staff, 100 group buying liaison solution personnel, and 30 office staff in one go.
Although it is not yet fully launched, everyone who comes to the company has a lot of confidence in Chosegirl, and all of them are impressed by the idea of the group buying site, and they are confident that their efforts will be successful.
In order to recruit talents, Tang Mingxiang also used a headhunting company in a fashion. As a result, the monthly salary and office expenses have reached 1 million US dollars, not including the network service package tariffs that have been paid in October, and the monthly expenditure in this regard has reached a terrifying 10 million US dollars!
The competition for network services in the United States is very strong, and the tariff is not expensive, but it is worth a lot of money if you can't stand it. Seeing that about 80 million yuan was spent in a month, Tang Mingxiang was actually a little drumming in his heart.
To make a website, don't think about making money as soon as you come up, you must calculate the loss period first.
If the loss period is less than 36 months, then it can already be considered a good website; If you can barely turn a profit in 60 months, it is worth continuing to invest; If you haven't made progress after 60 months, you can give up completely and start with a new project.
Actually, if not a stunning site. Basically, it will take many years to not lose money, and then slowly and slowly make a small amount of money.
For example, Huaguo's Xinglang, Wang Yi and other portals have been boiling for seven or 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, it is simply funny compared to the huge investment, but in the end it is much better than those websites that keep throwing money at Zuihou and go out of business.
Tang Mingxiang's 900 million yuan, fortunately listened to Xiao Qi's words. There was no one-time exchange for US dollars, it was just deposited in Citibank. Spend only when you need to use it each month.
In this way, at the rate of depreciation of the dollar, she could last up to a year.
If Xiao Qi hadn't given her a guarantee, she would definitely be able to earn more than ten times the return within a year, and Xiao Nizi would have the heart to find a lover for a loan now.
According to Tang Mingxiang's jihua, the stall was not as big as the paving at the beginning. Just look for group buying resources in neighboring states like New York, Washington, Pennsylvania, Virginia, etc.
However, the 100-person group purchase liaison program personnel still ran hard, collecting information, local interviews, group buying negotiations, etc., and after failing again and again, they have now prepared more than 500 catering group purchases with ease. Just wait for this month's website to be launched, and it will be released one by one!
Advertising is also going on all the way, as early as some time ago during the testing phase, netizens in these states saw the advertisement, and more than a million netizens expressed interest in this new type of website.
This number is very incomparable to the population of more than 50 million in several states, but considering that it is a new website and new concept, it is already good to have this effect in the early days.
You can't ask everything to detonate the world like DreamPad, right?
Also on the third day of Xiao Qi's return from California, at nine o'clock in the morning on October 12, Tang Mingxiang took Xiao Qi to the company, and under the excited eyes of everyone, he clicked the button on the website to officially announce the start of Chosegirl's online operation.
For the first batch of group buying, Tang Mingxiang selected ten of the most famous restaurants, all of which are century-old restaurants in these states, and Tang Mingxiang himself led a group of employees to inspect and eat one by one, and everyone felt very satisfied, so they decided to take them as 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 purchase contact program personnel recruited by Tang Mingxiang really worked hard, almost stubbornly, to get their approval, but the discount reached a maximum of 8.8 discounts, at least only 9.5 discounts, and there are strict regulations on time.
Don't think that people are demanding, in fact, there are many century-old shops, no matter what method you use, you can't talk about it, so you have to give up.
The American people are still very simple, they don't believe in boring advertisements like "1988, now only 198, the first to call, big surprise 98".
Moreover, almost all of these people who were affected by the publicity were locals, and many people knew about these ten famous century-old shops.
Seeing that they are generally not discounted, they actually participated in the group buying activity very well this time, and the American people who like to try new things became the first people to eat crabs one by one, and clicked the group purchase button one after another, and placed one order after another for Chosegirl.
All right.
It's a fascinating experience to try something new.
What the Chosegirl website, the ten century-old stores, and the customers didn't expect was that in just half a day, these ten century-old stores were directly crowded!
Originally, it was from 2 to 5 p.m. and from 9 p.m. to 12 p.m. to entertain group buyers.
As a result, at just 2 p.m., more than 30,000 people placed orders, and then flocked to the nearest century-old restaurant to taste the most haode food.
And then......
And then it just exploded!! (To be continued......)
