Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

Chapter 29: Does Your Family Own a Mine?

Linchuan Universitys forum was almost exactly as Jiang Qin remembered it.

The homepage was divided into four sections: Daily Chat, Campus Life, Internal Announcements, and Study Materials.

Study Materials?

Jiang Qin felt a stir in his DNA and clicked on it.

Past Years Postgraduate Entrance Exam Questions and Answers

Complete Guide to the TOEFL Exam

Full Text Version of Professor Wens Lectures from the School of Finance and Economics

Jiang Qin glanced over and found that it really was study material, which he found quite dull. (lol)

However, this was to be expected. The forum was jointly established by four nearby universities and was an official website. It was impossible to find content that college students would typically enjoy.

Due to the official oversight on content, the posts in the forum were dry and dull, always carrying a stodgy and serious tone.

But college students, being a youthful and vibrant group, were unlikely to use such a stodgy forum.

On his way here, Jiang Qin had already decided: he would create a website.

Targeting college students as the base users and expanding from there.

During their hormonal years, boys and girls have a strong desire for romance, so the main feature of the early stage of the website would be a confession wall.

Additionally, considering the sensitivity of college students at this age, many of whom have thoughts they dont wish to share with acquaintances, the second feature would be an anonymous venting space.

Furthermore, to cater to interests and trends, Jiang Qin planned to create two more sections: one for Games and Anime, and the other for Fashion and Lifestyle.

For college students, life beyond classes and romance mostly revolves around animation and looking good.

As for study materials

This section would be omitted, as he didnt want to divert all the traffic from the official forum.

In the early days of the internets booming development, browsing forums was still a major online activity. Sites like Zhihu, Douban, and Weibo were almost all founded around this time.

The website Jiang Qin intended to create would focus on sharing life experiences, different from the then-popular QQ Space.

QQ Space was only visible to friends, a closed social circle, but his website would be completely open.

The method to attract traffic was also simple.

Pretend to be a female college student and post a few messages.

Any guys here? I want to fall in love recently, who will take me home? Naturally no gag reflex (lol wtf), trained in dance, can do splits, with attached photos of female internet celebrities.

Guaranteed, those rough men would howl and spend nights in the forum without sleep.

Attracting female college users was also simple, just by creating a few points of contention.

Family, who understands? My boyfriend wants to go Dutch when he takes me out to eat, so disappointing.

Family, who understands? Falling for the same guy as my friend, should I let go?

The forums initial profits would surely come from advertising. Later, it would need to catch the internet wave and find opportunities to move towards short video content.

First, I need to buy a domain name.

Right, and rent a virtual space.

Jiang Qin found a domain name marketplace and briefly browsed the prices.

Domain names were graded. The hotter the domain name, the more expensive it was. Those related to college students were too expensive, as were those linked with Tencent. Popular keywords had long been registered.

After some thought, Jiang Qin suddenly considered a question.

When exactly was the real Zhihu (a ompany) founded?

Wasnt it about ten years later?

So, that means Zhihu doesnt exist yet?

Heh, what a coincidence. Well, sorry, but Ill be taking this domain name for now.

Jiang Qin took out a small box from his bag, inserted the U-key into the computer, and bought the domain name zhihu without hesitation.

This name had a certain prestige; zhihu () in Chinese, though a homophonic pun, carried a cultural flavor, fitting well with the college student demographic.

Old Jiang, what did you just spend three thousand yuan on?

I bought a domain name, planning to have some fun with a website.

Jiang Qin then realized that the three guys behind him had been listening all along and didnt hide anything from them.

Upon hearing his reply, Zhou Chao and Ren Ziqiangs mouths fell open in shock. They didnt have much concept of websites, but they knew the value of money. Their own living expenses were barely over six hundred yuan, and yet Jiang Qin had just spent three thousand yuan on something intangible. This seemed absurd to them.

Cao Guangyus lips twitched slightly, and after pondering for a while, he remained silent.

Even as a rich second-generation, spending three thousand yuan wasnt something he would do lightly, as the money at home still belonged to his father, and his own living allowance was only a thousand yuan.

Comparing the two, Cao Guangyu felt that Jiang Qin seemed more like a rich econd-generation. Could it be that he was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?

Old Jiang, what does your family do? How can you spend money so freely?

Ordinary and low-income working class.

Ren Ziqiang was dumbfounded: Then how much do you get for your monthly living expenses?

Jiang Qin pulled out his wallet: Five hundred, and after buying a train ticket, Im left with three hundred and sixty. Hey, who wants this one-yuan coin?

I do, give it to me!

Zhou Chao grabbed the coin: Jiang, youre really a spendthrift, but I like it.

Jiang Qin closed his wallet: Not a spendthrift, but coins are easy to lose in the pocket, better to give it away as a favor.

Cao Guangyu scoffed after hearing this: Old Zhou, youre really shameless, excited over one yuan? Havent you seen money before?

You think Im greedy for the one yuan, but actually, I love the national emblem on the back!

You son of a youre really good at making excuses.

Zhou Chao proudly tucked the coin into his pocket and lay back on his bed.

Ren Ziqiang stretched lazily and yawned as he entered the bathroom.

Cao Guangyu glanced at his phone, then at Jiang Qins computer, his expression turning somewhat gloomy.

He had tried to show off three times today, hoping to establish his status and dignity as the leader in the dormitory, but each time, Jiang Qin had outshone him, leaving him feeling less than thrilled.

Old Jiang, next time I try to show off, can you leave me some face?

Didnt I?

Did you?

Okay, I get it. Next time, Ill let you show off thoroughly.

Cao Guangyu pursed his lips, uncertain whether Jiang Qin was serious or not, but at least he felt somewhat relieved and began to surf the internet on his new phone.

Meanwhile, Jiang Qin noticed a QQ message notification popping up at the bottom right of his computer. He clicked on it and found it was from Hong Yan, whom he had met the day before.

Jiang Qin, do you have time to come out for a meal?

Now?

How about tomorrow, after registration?

Jiang Qin leaned back in his chair, hands behind his head, pondering.

He had only met Hong Yan once and couldnt say they were familiar, just acquaintances. Though they had said they would meet again when they had time, Jiang Qin thought it was just a polite remark. He didnt expect that she would take it so seriously.

Sure, lets get in touch tomorrow?

Ok~
