Chapter 54 Milk tea and domain names are blooming(1/2)

Manager Liu of the research institute said that he was going to give me a big gift, and he was trying to hide it in a mysterious way.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a magazine!

And he was so sharp when he struck out.

Although "Chinese Food" is not a best-selling magazine, its publishing organization is the Capital Food Research Institute, which is a benchmark in the domestic food industry.

This magazine has naturally become the only publicly distributed authoritative magazine in the domestic food industry. It has a deep cooperative relationship with the National Education Channel, Yanjing Channel, and Donghai Channel. It is the latest and fastest authoritative information in the domestic food field.

Such a magazine reported an article "Do you still dare to drink pearl milk tea?", its influence can be imagined.

Zhou Buqi grabbed the magazine and started flipping through it. He found that the article really criticized the pearl milk tea in a serious way.

For example, the ingredient of "pearls" is starch, which has no sweetness. In order to make pearls more delicious, merchants soak them in saccharin water for a long time to increase the sweetness. If soaked for a long time, toxins will be produced.

For example, fruit flavor powder and pearl milk tea will add a large amount of fruit flavor powder additives in order to pursue a better "fruit flavor". Excessive absorption will be very harmful to the human body's liver, kidneys and other organs. Chemically synthesized pigments are more toxic to the human body, causing

It has diarrheal and carcinogenic hazards. Long-term intake of food containing fruit-flavored powder will also have adverse effects on children's intellectual development.

Another example is creamer and cyclamate, both of which have their own shortcomings.

If only a certain part of a cup of milk tea is ingested, the human body can regulate itself and eliminate toxins. If all five toxins are present, it will really seriously damage personal health.

In fact, there have been a lot of negative reports about bubble milk tea at this conference.

For example, a girl had a long-term stomachache. She went to the hospital for a check-up and found a tumor the size of a billiard ball in her stomach. Her parents were horrified, but upon inspection, it turned out that the girl had been drinking bubble milk tea for a long time and had accumulated a large amount of unused tumors in her stomach.

The "pearl" of digestion.

For example, a child drank pearl milk tea and got stuck in his throat; a girl drank pearl milk tea and caused intestinal obstruction; for example, some unscrupulous merchants will use "pearls" made of plastic in order to pursue the elasticity.

With the stance of semi-official and authoritative magazines, this trend will surely intensify.

At the end of the article, the topic is also highlighted.

He said that in order to allow people across the country to drink real safe milk tea, the Capital Food Research Institute has cooperated with ten universities including Peking University, Renmin University of China, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beihang University, BeiKe, and Beijing Foreign Studies University, and has also launched commercial promotions with the Capital University Student Entrepreneurship Alliance to create a good relationship.

Flavored milk tea brand, creating a safety benchmark for local milk tea!

Reject pearls and focus on fresh fruits.

After reading this article, Zhou Buqi was in awe and was captivated by the author's astonishing talent.

This is the master!

The commercial soft copy was written smoothly and naturally without leaving any trace. It suppressed the opponent, praised oneself, and also promoted the banner of local national brand and responded to the policy call.

high!

It’s really high!

Well, as soon as this report comes out, it will definitely attract the attention of relevant media. It will be impossible for Yuanwei Milk Tea to keep a low profile.

With the two big hats of national security and national brand, the development of milk tea shops will be particularly smooth in the future.

Zhou Buqi flipped through the back of the magazine and looked at the price, 4 yuan and 5 yuan.

It's okay, not expensive.

He took out his mobile phone and called Manager Liu: "Manager Liu, this gift really shocked me."

"Haha, everyone gets what they need, everyone gets what they need." Manager Liu laughed heartily.

Zhou Buqi asked: "Manager Liu is here. If I purchase this magazine in bulk, what is the wholesale price?"

"You want to buy a magazine?"

"right."

"How much do you want?"

"Let's get 5,000 copies first."

Manager Liu's heart skipped a beat and he pondered slightly.

He also had a common problem with state-owned enterprises. He believed that Zhou Buqi was getting the benefits of publicity in vain. As a college student, he did not want to express himself with real money, so he used this disguised method to give benefits.

Manager Liu is in charge of the R&D department, and magazine wholesale has to be connected with the magazine. These are two departments.

Zhou Buqi, a multinational magazine, came to him directly, which can only explain one problem - Manager Liu can make a profit from it.

Earning 1 yuan per copy is 5,000 yuan, which is equivalent to his two months' salary.

Manager Liu's mood became better and better.

I feel that this young man is very mature and developed.

"Okay, I'll talk to the magazine later. The purchase quantity of 5,000 copies is not small! It's half of the magazine's sales." Manager Liu said with a smile.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Well, I'm not in a hurry. I just need to prepare it before the National Day."

After the call ended, Zhou Buqi felt that every cell in his body was beating happily.

Don’t be too happy with the feeling of being caught up in the latest policies of the times at the initial stage of starting a business.

Then, he went back to the computer and read the email again.

There should be no problem with the authenticity of the email.

Judging from the time, Reddit, the famous American news website, will go online next year.

The question is, how much is this domain name worth?

There is no unified standard for this.

Reddit is not a word with actual meaning, which is different from words such as choice and car. In other words, reddit is a word invented by an entrepreneur.

If Zhou Buqi's price is too high and the negotiation breaks down, the other party can completely change the word and domain name to reddat.co, which will actually have little impact on the entrepreneur.

Zhou Buqi's interests will be seriously damaged.

The other party's price is US$50,000. This price is definitely low and there is room for negotiation.

Zhou Buqi didn't know the standards well, so he looked up information online.

After reading a lot of news, I finally saw Facebook information.

Just last month, Facebook's financing was received, and after Zuckerberg got the money, he launched the domain name.

Before that,.

Mark Zuckerberg, who is only two years older than Zhou Buqi, spent US$200,000 on this domain name.

After reading this news, Zhou Buqi had a clear idea.

The word facebook is less original than reddit.

Domain names are like this. The more original the word, the lower the price. The more meaningful the word, the higher the price. You can’t even get this domain name for tens of millions of dollars.

From this point of view, the value of the domain name is less than 200,000 US dollars.

Zhou Buqi pondered for a long time and replied with a short email: "How about $250,000?"

When the other party made no move, Zhou Buqi carried Wang Dalong's newly bought fruit, and under Wang Dalong's gaze with a resentful expression, he left the dormitory and gave it to Wu Yu.

Half an hour later, he came back.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the other party responded to the message!

Yes, it is late at night in the Eastern Hemisphere and early morning in the Western Hemisphere.

The other party's email was also very concise: "It's too high, up to 100,000 US dollars."

Zhou Buqi scored 135 in English in the college entrance examination, and his level was not bad, so he replied to him: "A few days ago, it sold for 200,000 US dollars. The word reddit is shorter than Facebook, and the price should be higher. Steve, what I am looking forward to is

A fair deal.”

The two founders of Reddit are Steve and Alex. Unlike Zuckerberg, they are college graduates and received start-up funds from YCombinator early.

So, they both have money.

"Dear Zhou, that's not how the account is calculated. Facebook has already grown in scale, our website has not yet been launched, and we have a higher degree of freedom. US$100,000 is a suitable price."

"No, Steve, the price is too low."

"We have limited funds."

"Then I'll give in, $200,000."

"No, no, that's too high and I think we have a different basis for negotiation."

"..."



After more than an hour of cross-ocean email communication, the two parties finally reached a consensus on the price.

"Zhou, you are a business genius. Looking at your information, you should also be a college student, right? With this $150,000, I hope you can also succeed in starting a business."

"Thank you, Steve."

"I look forward to the opportunity for us to meet in the future."

"Me too."
