Chapter 892 ·The Weibo Plan

Next, Chen Fan didn't continue this topic, but instead changed the subject.

"Of course, in the early stages, we don't need to consider the profit issue, mainly focus on users. As the number of users increases, they can post various moods, pictures, and share their lives on our platform..."

"What we really need to do is collect these vast amounts of user data, then analyze, consolidate, and recategorize them to achieve precise segmentation."

"Let me give you an example. If you're a Weibo user who drives a 500,000-yuan car to work, buys medical insurance, and is currently planning to buy a house, then when we deliver advertisements to you, we can directly show you ads for insurance, car insurance, car maintenance, new cars in the 500,000-yuan price range, and information about various real estate properties..."

"And if I'm a fresh university graduate, currently renting and job hunting, I certainly won't see car and real estate ads. What I'll see are various job opportunities suitable for my major, rental housing, used cars, and other advertisements that match my current purchasing power."

"Get the most returns and gains with minimal capital investment."

"This is big data."

Chen Fan tapped the table with his hand.

"This is what our company really needs."

"In the future, whoever controls the users controls the trends, and whoever controls big data controls everything."

Liang Shichu was stunned.

If Chen Fan's previous ideas had been surprising, this time it was simply shocking.

He hadn't expected the boss's ambitions to be so grand.

He was already planning for the next few years or even decades.

Especially the boss's concept of big data, it left Liang Shichu absolutely amazed.

If in ten or more years, Feifan Technology could perfectly filter big data for every user, wouldn't that mean they could control everything about each person's life, from food and clothing to housing and transportation, in every aspect and corner?

How powerful would such a company be?

Liang Shichu didn't even dare to imagine.

And thinking that as the company's general manager, he would have the opportunity to witness that moment with the boss in the future.

Liang Shichu felt his whole body trembling.

It was really... full of anticipation.

Chen Fan glanced at Liang Shichu and asked, "Did you see today's newspaper?"

Liang Shichu snapped back to reality and quickly replied, "You mean the gossip about you and Wen Wan?"

Chen Fan nodded.

"The reason I decided to develop this Weibo product, besides what I just mentioned, I also have a small personal interest."

"I hope that in the future, as ordinary people, when they encounter injustice, they'll also have a channel to speak for themselves."

Hearing this, Liang Shichu looked deeply at Chen Fan and suddenly sat up straight.

"Boss, I understand."

"Don't worry. I'll start holding mobilization meetings at the company right away. The company's next product will be Weibo."

Chen Fan nodded and continued, "I'll guarantee you sufficient development funds. Adequate time."

"I hope to see this product launch before 2009."

Liang Shichu calculated in his mind.

It was now the end of June 2006, with about three years until 2009.

The timeline wasn't too tight.

"Don't worry, boss. I will lead everyone to give it our all."

"However... regarding some ideas about Weibo, I'm afraid we'll need more introduction from you."

Chen Fan smiled, "I'll think about it more later, and we'll have a good discussion then."

"We can have the engineers create a beta version first, test it internally, discover any problems early, and make timely modifications."

"Oh, and I'll remind you again. Remember, during product development, it must be 100% confidential, no information can be leaked externally."

"If any employee leaks information, they'll be fired immediately, no exceptions."

Seeing Chen Fan's serious expression, Liang Shichu nodded solemnly.

Meanwhile, he guessed internally that the boss's strict confidentiality requirements might be due to concerns about other companies developing similar products.

It was already afternoon when the discussion with Liang Shichu ended.

On his way back, Chen Fan called Su Ruochu again.

This time, after several rings, the call finally connected.

Once connected, Chen Fan actually didn't know how to begin.

"Hello?" Su Ruochu's familiar voice came through, seemingly without much emotional fluctuation.

"Hey. Did you arrive safely at school?"

"Mm. I'm already in the dormitory."

"Um..."

Chen Fan hesitated for a moment but decided to speak directly.

"About the online reports, you saw them?"

Su Ruochu didn't hide it, "Mm. As soon as I got to the dorm, the three of them told me about it."

"The reports are false. Don't be angry."

Su Ruochu laughed: "Why are you so nervous?"

"Huh? I'm not!"

Chen Fan felt guilty, after all, he really didn't know how to handle this kind of situation perfectly.

"Someone has targeted me, trying to smear my reputation."

"Are you okay?" Su Ruochu asked with concern.

"I'm fine. I'll handle this matter well."

"Mm."

The phone fell silent.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Chen Fan gathered his courage, "Um... about Wen Wan and me..."

"Was that apartment previously Teacher Wen?"

"Ah? Yes, it was." Chen Fan quickly nodded in admission.

"When Teacher Wen was still working at the school, her mother got sick and needed treatment. She couldn't afford that much money, so she rented out the house, and it happened that I was looking for a place at the time..."

"During that time I did live in the apartment, but it wasn't just me and Teacher Wen, her mother was there too, and besides..."

"And they spent most of their time at the hospital, we rarely saw each other..."

Chen Fan stumbled through his explanation, but the more he explained, the more guilty he felt.

Su Ruochu on the other end gave a light laugh.

"Why are you explaining so much to me?"

"Originally I hadn't suspected anything, but now that you're saying so much, I'm starting to have doubts."

"Ahem, I..."

Chen Fan wanted to say more, but Su Ruochu interrupted him.

"Chen Fan."

"Yes?"

"Did anything happen between you and Teacher Wen?"

Asked this question, Su Ruochu seemed embarrassed too, obviously somewhat nervous.

Chen Fan hurriedly said, "No. I can guarantee that absolutely nothing like that happened between us..."

Saying this, Chen Fan hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, deciding to be completely honest with Su Ruochu.

"Actually, between her and me..."

"That's enough."

Su Ruochu on the other end suddenly interrupted Chen Fan's words.

"I only needed to know that one answer."

"I believe you."

"Mm."

"Chen Fan."

"I'm here."

"When I graduate, marry me."

"Yes!"
