Chapter 168 Emotional Value

When Xiao Yangzhi's vacation was about to end, Xu Mingyuan did not forget his promise and took her for a tour of the Jiangnan University campus.

By the way, I visited Zheng Song, vice dean of the School of Computer Information Technology of Jiangnan University and doctoral supervisor.

Carrying cigarettes, alcohol and tea, Xu Mingyuan found the school staff family building, recorded the visit information, and found the address according to the house number.

After knocking on the door, a middle-aged man in his forties wearing glasses opened the door.

"Hello, Teacher Zheng."

Xu Mingyuan did not call him professor, but called him teacher in a more intimate way.

"Hello, are you Xu Mingyuan, the founder of Sailing Technology?"

"Yes, sorry to bother you, Teacher Zheng. This is my sister. She just started high school. I brought her to the school to play." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Hello, Teacher Zheng."

Yang Zhi greeted politely.

"Hello, hello, Fengfan MP4, you are amazing, it is true that heroes emerge from youth, please come in and sit down. Xiao Zhou, go and pour two glasses of water."

Zheng Song called his wife and led the two of them to the living room.

The room is not big, but it is very cozy.

Zheng Song's wife is relatively young, in her early thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looks like a teacher in some school.

She brought a few glasses of water, chatted briefly, and then went to read a book.

Yang Zhi sat obediently beside him, listening to how his brother usually interacted with others.

Xu Mingyuan's company recruited a graduate from Jiangnan University, but he was a half-baked graduate who only had a diploma. However, through his communication, he also got Zheng Song's contact information.

After a few pleasantries, Zheng Song said, "With your resume, you don't need to come to me. The department leaders should have taken the initiative to ask you questions, right?"

"When I filled out the application form for admission, I filled in the family introduction form. Maybe they felt that what I wrote was not true, so they rejected it." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

When filling out the form, I filled in the family income, but there was no official seal or document to prove it, so in the end it was left unresolved.

"Yeah, it's hard to say for sure." Zheng Song smiled and didn't care.

After communicating the idea on the phone, Xu Mingyuan took out a laptop from his backpack and placed it on the table.

Connected to the network card and opened the web page.

"Hello, Mr. Zheng, this is the social forum for college students that I plan to set up."

"Teachers.com? Are you planning to create an SNS social platform?"

The account was logged in, and as soon as Zheng Song entered the webpage, he saw the clue.

"That's the idea. A single forum can't attract the sustained attention of college students, so I hope to add a few more functions, such as sharing logs, photos, videos, and a series of pages for people to choose from."

"Well, this is not difficult to do. Is that why you are asking this?" Zheng Song asked.

"No, the most important function is friend recommendation, and the employees our company recruits do not have enough technical skills." Xu Mingyuan said.

"Friends' recommendation?"

"Yes, it's the recommendation of friends. Teacher Zheng, have you heard of the rule of six? It means that you can get to know any stranger in the world through at most six people." Xu Mingyuan explained.

"Are you talking about the six degrees of separation theory?" Zheng Song said.

"Ah, yes, yes."

Xu Mingyuan nodded repeatedly.

"This technology has long been available abroad. Websites like Friends Network and Space Network use this technology."

"It seems that I am showing off my skills in front of Guan Gong." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile: "If that's the case, then it's simple. I'm thinking about how to optimize the recommendation. It's not limited to college students, but strangers who fill in random information can be excluded to form a social circle around acquaintances."

"This is what you are talking about. Have you heard of Facebook, which is very popular in the United States this year?" Zheng Song asked.

"Yes, it would be best if we could copy it one to one. I made this webpage based on it." Xu Mingyuan replied quickly.

The current domestic Internet situation is in dire straits. You copy me and I copy you, and no one cares about infringement at all.

If a software becomes popular, dozens of similar software will appear the next day, not to mention websites. If he can copy a hot platform, Xu Mingyuan will never do it himself.

"No wonder they look a bit similar." Zheng Song smiled and said, "There are also many people in China who are doing SNS, like the Chinese community a few years ago, but it is not very popular now. Do you think there is still a future for it?"

"Yes, of course. We are a society of acquaintances, and college students are the group that spends the most time online, is the most eager to socialize, and is the most shy to express themselves. Starting from college students is the best opportunity." Xu Mingyuan nodded.

In 04, social networking had not yet been completely broken down into atomic states.

In another ten years, not many people will be interested in playing in this kind of community.

At this time, there are actually very few tools for acquaintances to chat with, just QQ, but the functions are not perfect. Most people just add friends casually and chat with strangers.

If you want to chat with someone from the same university, you can only ask for contact information in person. Many people are embarrassed to do so due to social considerations. This is a great opportunity for the development of SNS communities.

"You've just entered college, and you've already discovered this. You have a keen eye, and you're indeed a young talent."

Zheng Song gave a thumbs up and praised.

"Haha, Teacher Zheng, you're too kind. There are two roommates in my dormitory who sit in front of the computer all day long. They don't go out and they keep clamoring to meet more girls. By the next semester, as long as the conditions are good, basically all the students will install a computer. I'm in the College of Arts, so the demand for computers is not high, and the prospects here are very broad." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

They also discussed the prospects of the social platform. Xu Mingyuan was not familiar with the technology and could only talk about some of its functions.

Competition in the current Internet industry is fierce, and it is very common for teachers to guide students in software development. Zheng Song has also developed several products, but they have never been very popular.

After all, they are teachers and students in the same campus. When I heard that a student wanted to start a business and could provide funding, as a teacher, I had no reason to refuse and just treated it as a new topic.

The next thing was to discuss cooperation. Xu Mingyuan only asked Zheng Song to provide the technology, and the rest could be left to him.

Moreover, Xu Mingyuan's conditions were very generous. He said directly: "Teacher Zheng, whether it is school-enterprise cooperation or the establishment of an on-campus enterprise, I can accept it, but the shareholding ratio is different. If it is an on-campus enterprise, I will definitely have a higher shareholding ratio."

"Are you worried about being interfered with?" Zheng Song asked with a smile.

"I have this consideration. Teacher Zheng, you should understand."

"Understood. I can make the decision here."

"Teacher Zheng, I'm not very good at negotiating terms. This is the business card of the network manager in my company. Can I ask him to contact you?"

Xu Mingyuan smiled and took out Li Yunfeng's business card from his pocket and handed it over.

"Haha, it seems you are already prepared. What if I don't agree?"

Zheng Song glanced at the business card on the table and said with a smile.

"I am ready. If the conditions cannot be negotiated, I can also hire Teacher Zheng as a consultant at a high price. I also hope that Teacher Zheng can give his student a thumbs up." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

Xu Mingyuan didn't care about discussing the conditions of cooperation. The original purpose was to narrow the distance between the company and Jiangda, so it would be enough to set a rough scale.

I came to visit Zheng Song today mainly to give Professor Zheng Song face. If he has to do everything personally, then what is the point of hiring someone?

If the classmate website becomes popular and its users are all college students, this exclusive advertising space will definitely lead to a sharp increase in the sales of Fengfan MP4.

Xu Mingyuan couldn't afford to invest in the Internet by using advertising fees to support Tongxue.com and then make up for the sales of MP4s. He could only choose some opportunistic methods to expand his industries first.

Xu Mingyuan never does things haphazardly. Everything is turned into a circle, with the core enclosed within it.

After chatting for about half an hour, Xu Mingyuan took Xiao Yangzhi and stood up to say goodbye.

Although Yang Zhi didn't quite understand what was being said, she understood the praise from Teacher Zheng.

After she went out, she took the bag from Xu Mingyuan and put it on her back. She said seriously, "Brother is so good."

"Why are you excellent again?"

"That's what Teacher Zheng said just now."

"That's just a polite remark."

"Um~~ No, my brother is the most amazing."

"Haha."

Seeing Xiao Yangzhi's eyes sparkling with stars, Xu Mingyuan hugged her with great relief.

The emotional value provided by this little girl is definitely worth a lot of money, so it is not in vain to raise her.
