Matsubashi Miho then used several ideas from future social networks to impress Bob.
And Bob was left sowhat dumbfounded after listening to everything.
It was already impressive when soone could occasionally co up with an idea.
But in Matsubashi Miho's mouth, all sorts of ideas kept coming out.
If he could implent all the ideas Matsubashi Miho ntioned, their social network would probably skyrocket like a rocket.
He could even foresee that scene.
"Ms. Matsubashi, you've told so much, and you've only provided with so very good ideas. But after hearing these ideas, I could change my mind at any mont, deny any conversation we had. Do you really trust my integrity?"
Matsubashi Miho said, "In business, there's no need to talk about trust between people. We're just casually ntioning so ideas. If you plan to go back on your word, that's okay too. We've never been polite. Don't underestimate us. Although we're from a Japanese company, if we can provide you with ideas, then we can also create a more powerful website to compete in your market. You're still vulnerable now, but we have endless money to establish a social empire. Do you really want to go back on your word now?"
Bob's expression froze.
That was very straightforward.
If he dared to go back on his word here, he could also realize that Matsubashi Miho would definitely do what she just said.
His expression imdiately beca complicated.
On the other hand, Jeff was completely bewildered.
In terms of technology and creativity, he couldn't compare to his good friend. He was only better in finance. Seeing his good friend being at a loss, he also wanted to intervene, but Matsubashi Miho was an old hand in the business world.
Moreover, she had made a na for herself in the distorted social environnt of Japan, where it was difficult for won to stand out. Dealing with two naive students from Arican universities was a piece of cake for her.
Perhaps these two would beco influential figures in society in the future, but for now, they were just two inexperienced students.
"So, please don't let our trust go to waste. We've presented these ideas, and we only have one condition: you help promote our products."
At this point, Bob seed sowhat crestfallen.
He had always considered himself a genius programr and believed he understood human nature well, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to create such a social network single-handedly.
But in front of Matsubashi Miho, he found that he didn't seem to have any strengths.
This was mainly because Matsubashi Miho had Takayuki behind her, a ti traveler.
With various ideas and creativity from the future, she could easily overwhelm two inexperienced college students.
"Ms. Matsubashi, can my friend and I have a discussion?"
"Of course, I'll go get so juice. What do you need?"
"Beer is fine, thank you," Bob said.
Jeff also raised his hand and said, "Sa for , thanks, sis."
Matsubashi Miho's steps staggered slightly. No one had ever called her "sis" before, and it sounded a bit awkward.
Matsubashi Miho went to the bar counter. Bob and Jeff glanced at her back and then quietly began discussing.
"Jeff, what do you think?"
Jeff nodded, "Honestly, she's a really high-quality investor. Just needing the original shares, and you can hold the voting rights, not being controlled, that's really good. And the fact that they just want to help promote their products, I think it's worth it."
"But... I still don't want to accept ads at this ti," Bob hesitated.
"Bob, sotis people have to compromise. Next ti you find investors, they might not be so easy to deal with. Sotis, so necessary sacrifices are unavoidable. Besides, I heard her talk about those ideas for you just now, and you thought they were pretty good, right?"
"Yeah, they're really good. Each one is very useful, and they might even affect the popularity of the entire website."
"So, since you see that the other party is really sincere, you should make so concessions too. That's society, not an ivory tower. When we're ready to start a company, we can't just be naive college students anymore."
In terms of worldly wisdom, Jeff was more insightful than Bob.
After continuous persuasion from his good friend, Bob seed to waver.
"Well, we can agree for now, but I think we might be able to propose so other conditions."
"You shouldn't push it too far. If you drive away such a high-quality investor, you might regret it for the rest of your life."
"I understand."
After Matsubashi Miho served the drinks, seeing that Bob and Jeff seed to have finished their discussion, she walked over again.
"How did the negotiations go? Are you accepting my investnt conditions?"
"About that, we have so ideas," Bob said solemnly.
"Let's hear them."
"We want to see the content of your advertising first, because I think even if it's advertising, it can still be of high quality. It can't be too bad."
"Oh, you don't need to worry about that at all. We're very sincere about this. The cost of making ads is negligible. So, does that an we've reached an agreent?"
Bob wanted to say sothing more, but Jeff interjected, "That's right, we've reached an agreent. So, when can we sign the specific investnt business contract? And when can the money be in place?"
"Anyti is fine. Since we've reached an agreent, we won't be stingy. If you're in a hurry, you can sign the contract here. I'll call our full-ti lawyer over now."
"That's not necessary. We should handle the contract signing in a more formal setting."
"Alright, it's up to you. But our advertising campaign is a bit urgent. I need you to put the ads on your social network soon. Of course, you can rest assured that our ads will try not to affect the style of your website as much as possible."
In the future, there were many ads that completely blended into software or websites themselves.
Sotis, people would click on them unintentionally, which made people from the future very annoyed.
However, such ads were still very effective in the beginning. They were silent, and so completely unaware people even voluntarily clicked on similar ads.
It was only after about half a year or so that people gradually beca fed up, and eventually despised such advertising content altogether.
But for now, such ads should still be very effective.
