Bob was surprised to face a relatively young woman.
This was relatively rare in investnt firms.
And Matsubashi Miho was very generous in the investnt negotiations. Matsubashi Miho was willing to provide sufficient investnt funds, and would not interfere too much with Bob's company operations. This could be considered a very high-quality investor.
Bob and his friend Jeff seed to have no reason to refuse.
What Takayuki was thinking about was simply investnt. He put more of his energy into electronic gas and didn't have ti to worry about how others managed their companies. He just wanted to make money lying down.
However, investnt also ca with requirents.
In terms of investnt, Matsubashi Miho hardly had any objections. He completely agreed with all the conditions proposed by Bob and Jeff.
But in terms of advertising, Matsubashi Miho changed his style.
"Mr. Bob, Mr. Jeff, there's no problem with how much money you need. We're willing to provide it. You just need to give us enough equity. We won't interfere too much with the operation of the company. But we have one condition: we need your website to help promote our products."
Bob, who had just been enthusiastic, felt embarrassed when he heard Matsubashi Miho's words just now.
"Ms. Matsubashi, to be honest, there are so things we can discuss, but I don't want to accept advertising too early for now."
Matsubashi Miho smiled, "I understand your aning. Accepting advertising now would be too short-sighted for you."
"Yes, that's right," Bob nodded imdiately.
"But we can discuss this further. There's always room for negotiation. Our only requirent is this one. If you agree, we'll provide so great ideas for you, which might help your company's developnt to so extent."
Bob frowned.
He kept scrutinizing the woman in front of him. No matter how you looked at it, Matsubashi Miho didn't seem like soone who understood the internet very well. What kind of ideas could she have that would impress ?
And what kind of idea was worth breaking my own rules for?
He was sowhat skeptical.
"Let give you a little hint first. Actually, I'm not the real decision-maker. Our company president is the one in charge. Like you, he's also young and has made quite a career for himself. His thinking might really resonate with yours."
"Oh?"
Bob beca curious.
Previously, he hadn't had the chance to investigate the details of this company from Japan, and he had only co to try it out. Now he felt like he needed to investigate this company.
Was a person of similar age the decision-maker of this company?
"Our president has given so ideas about your social network. First, let's start with your website's na."
"The na?" Bob nodded.
"You're currently called 'Network Face to Face,' Internet face to face. Honestly, don't you think this na is too long?"
Bob nodded without hesitation.
He had actually realized this.
But his website had just been established, and he didn't have much ti to think about the na.
He actually thought the na was pretty good. Socializing face to face on the internet was straightforward and easy to understand.
"Our president has co up with two nas for you to choose from. These two nas are simpler. Would you like to hear them?"
"Uh... go ahead."
"First, 'Inter Face,' and then 'Face Book.' These are suggestions our president ca up with after so thought. If you're interested, you could consider using these nas."
The first one, 'Inter Face,' was just a random abbreviation Takayuki ca up with from the current na of the other party. What he really preferred was the second one, 'Face Book.'
This was a very vivid website na in the previous life, and it was very catchy. Since this world didn't have this na at all, Takayuki simply borrowed it.
Bob muttered to himself, his eyes gradually lighting up. At this mont, he felt that these two nas seed really good, especially the second one, which he thought was the best.
"It's just a na. Even if this suggestion is really good, it still can't shake my personal principles. I absolutely cannot accept any advertising at the mont."
"Don't worry," Matsubashi Miho interrupted Bob, "it's not over yet. Now your social network is just for acquaintances. The relationship network between universities is your killer feature. Have you ever thought that so people really want to know specific information about a person on the internet?"
"What information? Height and weight? What's the point of that?" Bob didn't understand.
"No, I'm talking about relationships, not a person's physical information. If you want to know if a girl is single but you're too afraid to ask directly, then could you add such a function to your social network? This feature isn't complicated, but it should be very popular, right? It would encourage many people who wouldn't dare to speak up to muster up the courage."
Bob was slightly stunned.
At the mont, his social network had just been established, and its overall form was still in the early stage of internet socialization. At most, it would display a birthday, age, and if you wanted, you could add so weight-related data.
But this data didn't really an much.
There were still many successful social network ideas from the future that hadn't been implented yet, and Takayuki happened to be able to use this as one of the ans to impress Bob.
People who could study at Harvard were never fools. With just a few turns of his brain, Bob could imdiately understand how much effect adding such a function could bring.
He almost instinctively wanted to stand up from his seat and run back to his dormitory to imdiately add this feature.
"There's more I want to say. Mr. Bob, you don't need to rush to leave," Matsubashi Miho sipped her tea calmly and said.
Bob, who had just moved, imdiately stopped his impulse to stand up. Now he looked at Matsubashi Miho with shining eyes.
At this mont, he felt that Matsubashi Miho was like a gold mine, ready to burst forth with dazzling ideas at any mont.
"Do you feel that the visual effect of your website is not very good? That rough font, and that simple interface, we can also provide so inspiration in this regard to help you rebuild a brand new website, making the webpage look more attractive. If my words don't convince you, you can log into our company's official website to have a look. I think you'll understand everything then."
