Wake up suddenly, back to the time when my wife and daughter had an accident

Chapter 965

Not long after ICQ was launched, Meng Tanqing's computer forum faced a very severe test.

The reason why his computer forum was able to break through the siege of many forums was that there was an instant chat window in the forum, which made it very convenient for everyone to communicate.

As the popularity of the forum increased, some people smelled business opportunities and added instant chat windows to their own forums.

Several of these forums were large forums that had a high reputation before.

In this situation, Meng Tanqing's pressure doubled.

The data of the ICQ test has not yet come out, and the daily page views of his computer forum have dropped.

"Dad, please help me think about it. Is there any way to prevent the page views of my computer forum from falling? If it falls again, the customers who originally asked me to advertise will cry."

Meng Tanqing came to Meng Haisheng for help with a bitter face.

After all, he was only 11 years old, and his psychological endurance was not very strong. Seeing that the traffic of the computer forum had decreased so much, he was very anxious.

Meng Haisheng put down his work at hand, looked at Meng Tanqing, and thought that the little bastard was still young, and such a small thing could disturb his mood.

"Let me help you analyze the two things that you are worried about now. One is the traffic of the computer forum, and the other is that you are afraid that customers will find you."

"The first problem is that computer forums are relatively niche, and the audience group is almost fixed. In the past, because you were special, you attracted some people from some well-known forums."

"Now you have lost the magic weapon to win. If you want to keep people, you must either find a way to create a special feature that other forums do not have, or change the current form of the computer forum, open up new sections, and attract new people."

"It depends on you. Do you want to make the forum bigger, or just become a leader in the computer forum industry."

Meng Tanqing was silent. He really didn't think about this problem carefully. He just wanted to increase the popularity of the forum.

He was a little annoyed. He had achieved certain achievements in the computer industry in recent times. To be honest, he was a little proud. He felt that he was very talented and could easily make the forum popular.

He really couldn't accept the decline in forum traffic.

"I need to think about this again. I have never thought about the future of the forum."

"Okay, but you have to make a decision quickly. Time waits for no one. The longer you hesitate, the more resistance you will encounter in the subsequent development. You have also seen various forums popping up like mushrooms after rain."

"Well, I understand."

"Then let's talk about the second question, whether the customers who place advertisements will come to you."

"Did you sign a contract when you placed the advertisements?"

Meng Tanqing nodded gently. Although it was his first time doing business, he was influenced by Meng Haisheng and naturally knew the importance of contracts. Even if it was worth 1,000 yuan, he signed a simple contract with others.

"Did you specify in the contract that if the forum traffic drops, you will have to pay compensation to the other party?"

"I'm not a fool. How could I sign a contract like this? I specifically specified in the contract that I would place three months of advertising for him regardless of whether the website traffic increases or decreases."

"That's it. It's clearly written in black and white in the contract. Even if the website traffic drops, the customer can't find you. You can rest assured to continue your work."

"If your client comes to you because of the decline in website traffic, just let him sue you directly. Don't argue with him about all kinds of nonsense."

"You are doing business, not charity. When signing a contract, both parties have to bear their own profits and losses. If you keep considering your client, not only will you not be able to do your job well, but you will not be able to cooperate in the end."

Meng Haisheng's tough attitude infected Meng Tanqing. He was very depressed just now and instantly recovered. He thought too much. The meaning of signing a contract is to prevent problems from being unclear in the future.

"Dad, I understand. Before signing the contract, I will come and ask you more questions."

"No, my company has a legal department, which can be lent to you for the time being. If there are any problems with the contract, you can directly ask the lawyer in the legal department to help you look at the contract to see if there are any loopholes."

"Okay."

Meng Tanqing's uneasiness was settled by Meng Haisheng's words. He left the study in a good mood and continued to test ICQ. Looking at Meng Haitan's back as he left, Meng Haisheng felt a little distressed.

When he was here just now, he didn't show it too obviously. After all, he still had to maintain his dignity as a strict father in front of his son.

But when he thought that his son only hadIt would be a lie if he didn't feel bad for such a small company, but he had to shoulder pressure that didn't belong to him.

But when he thought about the fact that Meng Tanqing would have to face more difficulties and greater pressure in the future, he felt relieved. What was this little pressure? There was still a long way to go. If he suffered more now, he would suffer less in the future.

Half a day later, Meng Tanqing came to find Meng Haisheng.

"Dad, after thinking about it, I decided to only run a computer-related forum, and make the forum refined and good. As for making money, ICQ is my main battlefield. It is better to use the forum to discuss academic issues."

"As for advertising, it doesn't matter whether there is one or not. Anyway, it is easier to maintain the forum and it doesn't cost much. As long as ICQ makes money, it can support the computer forum."

Meng Haisheng didn't expect Meng Tanqing to have such a big idea. He was also very confident in ICQ.

"You want to make the computer forum more refined, is there any good way?"

"I called the seniors I know well, hoping that they can publish more articles on the computer forum. They are all leaders in the computer industry. With their help, I believe that more elites in this field will publish articles on the forum one after another."

"This idea is not bad. You can try it first. If it doesn't work, think of other ways."

After talking about computers, the father and son talked about ICQ testing.

"There are still a lot of feedbacks from 10,000 accounts. The guys in the technical department have been working overtime for two consecutive days. Before launching 10,000 accounts, they vowed that they would not work overtime and ICQ had no bugs at all. As a result, their faces are swollen now."

Meng Tanqing's face was full of smiles when he mentioned this. He also worked overtime for one day with the guys in the technical department, and the next day he gave all of them a salary increase.

Working night shifts at night is really a very tiring thing. Only they are young and can withstand such high-intensity work.
