"By the way, I have a list of domain names here. Please register all the domains related to the company's business as much as possible. For those that are already registered, keep an eye on them and we can buy them later when we have sufficient funds!"
Suddenly recalling something, Jiang Yizhou instructed his assistant, "Also, in the future, whenever the company is uncertain about a business venture, we need to register the necessary domain names. Domain protection must be included as a prerequisite for any project!"
Shen Qing immediately took over the list that Jiang Yizhou had spent over an hour preparing. She could sense Jiang Yizhou's seriousness and began her first official task with great solemnity.
Jiang Yizhou rubbed his temples in frustration. The ownership of the qi domain was in the hands of Elink Company, and he couldn't separate this domain from qi. If he sold Elink, it would mean rewriting the Chinese version of qi, requiring both a name change and a new domain.
The first rewriting task was already underway with Zhang Zhidong leading a team. This part wasn't difficult, but changing the name and domain...
For Jiang Yizhou, who had already formed a fixed impression, he hardly recognized any name suitable for Instant Messaging software other than QQ. Although he had registered the domain, it had long been acquired by a software engineer named Robert Hentzman. Currently, while this domain was not in use, it was listed on an auction site for two million dollars...
It's all about making money!
Important things are worth repeating: two million dollars from the nineties. For such a domain, Jiang Yizhou simply couldn't afford it right now.
So Jiang Yizhou shifted this annoying feeling onto others and started acting like a domain broker.
He planned to acquire unchangeable domains like Baidu, Tudou, Weibo, and WeChat. Fifty dollars per domain per year wasn’t much, but if he were to handle these himself, there would be no problem; however, if others were to do it, he would find it quite irritating.
However, this matter didn't trouble him too much until something else happened that did cause him some concern.
In the afternoon, Zhang Chaoyang suddenly paid a visit, which surprised Jiang Yizhou who was deeply engrossed in work. Could it be that he was planning to seek investment?
"Mr. Jiang is also planning to enter the portal market?" The first thing Zhang Chaoyang said made Jiang Yizhou understand his intention immediately. Qi had already become quite a "giant" in this domestic market, and since Qihang Network went online a month ago, many original business forums in China had felt a significant loss of users; there were only several hundred thousand internet users in total.
For Zhang Chaoyang, this feeling was akin to being acquired by a major player; it made him relax only to find that the major player turned around and launched an even better product—one biological son and one adopted son; it was obvious which one to support!
"This is a strategy that Zheng Yi already had in place. You know that the American company behind qi has long since launched its portal; Zheng Yi is merely copying that."
Of course, it wasn't that simple in reality. The development of the Chinese Portal and the engine took them quite some time.
Jiang Yizhou bluntly stated that before online payment methods matured, advertising revenue was almost the only source of income, and he could not let this opportunity slip away.
"Then why is Mr. Jiang still investing in Aitexin?" Zhang Chaoyang asked the key question.
Jiang Yizhou casually replied, "Do you think the Portal will dominate the Instant Messaging field alone? That's impossible. The Portal will definitely be a situation where several companies coexist; no one can capture the entire market share. If you're worried, you can walk out of here right now and pretend we never discussed investment!"
...
"Jiang Yizhou, what's wrong with you?" Shen Qing woke Jiang Yizhou from his thoughts, a bit concerned.
Earlier, he just wanted to show off a bit, but unexpectedly, Zhang Chaoyang actually seemed to fear him like a tiger and decisively gave up on investing with him. Perhaps he had already thought this through before coming; perhaps his idea was to seek profit from a dangerous situation.
"I'm sorry, I really can't accept your investment; I can't take that risk!" Zhang Chaoyang said.
After Zhang Chaoyang left his office for quite some time, Jiang Yizhou was still in shock, realizing that he might have truly changed many things.
"It's fine; it's just a business deal that fell through. By the way, contact the owner of the qq domain and tell him I want to acquire this domain with a maximum limit of one hundred thousand dollars," Jiang Yizhou then asked, "Do you know how to negotiate a domain transaction?"
"I don't know!" Although Shen Qing had applied for a domain while building a personal website with friends, that was only for unregistered domains. She avoided domains that were already registered and needed negotiation since there were so many domains available; why get hung up on just one?
However, her boss seemed to be that kind of person. He handed her an A4 sheet filled with various domain names; aside from some that were already registered, most were neglected domains. Now he planned to spend one hundred thousand dollars to buy a domain...
What an eccentric! This was her main impression of her boss.
"If you don't understand, then learn. Use connections in the U.S. to hire a few skilled negotiators to handle it. Don't feel pressured; the more anxious you are, the more likely they will raise the price. Go arrange it!"
For an assistant who dares to say "I don't understand" to the boss, there isn't much hope for her. He just hopes she can quickly get into character and stop asking "why" or saying "I can't." Isn't hiring an assistant meant to prevent oneself from facing these issues without a solution?
She is practically useless; well, maybe there is one useful aspect, but what good is that? He hired an assistant, not someone who just sits around regardless of whether they do anything or not.
When Shen Qing lowered her head and expressed that she would work hard, Jiang Yizhou couldn't help but reminisce about Song Rushi after leaving the office. Back in the capital, Song Rushi almost avoided him entirely.
And this clumsy, irritating assistant made him want Song Rushi to handle his affairs for him.
Thinking any further was just wishful thinking. Jiang Yizhou glanced at the time on his watch, left the company, and drove to where his girlfriend was.
Ding Zhengnan was also about to get off work. She had arrived late that morning, and no one dared to reprimand her, but she still had to adhere to the scheduled end of work time, even if it meant just resting her head on her hand while staring out the window at the activity outside.
Seeing that familiar car, Ding Zhengnan was already prepared and joyfully ran out, leaping into her boyfriend's embrace like a fledgling returning to its nest.
At that moment, Jiang Yizhou probably understood that Sister Ru Shi didn't want to put him in a difficult position, especially when faced with such an enthusiastic girl.
A scumbag is a scumbag! Until the very last moment when he had to choose between two options, he still held onto a glimmer of hope.
