Do You Own a Mine?

The University City Forum in Linchuan was pretty much how Jiang Qin remembered it.

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

Huh? Study Materials?

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

Jiang Qin glanced at it and found that it really was study material, which immediately made him lose interest.

But this was normal. The forum itself was jointly created by the four nearby universities and was an official website, so it was impossible for it to contain content that college students would enjoy.

However, because the content was controlled by the authorities, the posts in the forum seemed very dull and boring, always with a rigid and serious tone.

But college students were clearly a youthful and energetic group. They would never use such a rigid forum.

Jiang Qin had already thought about it on the way here. He was going to create a website.

It would be based on college students and radiate outwards.

Boys and girls in puberty were in an era of exploding hormones and had a strong desire to find a partner, so the main section in the early stages would be a confession wall.

In addition, college students at this age were also a very sensitive group, and there were many things they didn't want to say to people they knew, so his second section would be an anonymous tree hole.

In addition to these, considering hobbies and trends, Jiang Qin planned to open two other sections, one called Games and Anime, and the other called Fashion and Lifestyle.

Besides going to class and dating, college students' daily lives basically consisted of nothing but anime characters and showing off their looks.

As for studying...

He would give up on this section, after all, he didn't want to steal all the traffic from the official forum.

In the early days of the Internet's booming development, browsing forums was still the main way to surf the web. Zhihu, Douban, and Weibo were all founded around this time.

The website Jiang Qin wanted to create would focus on the field of life sharing, but it would be different from the popular QQ space.

Because QQ space could only be seen by friends and was a closed social circle, but his website would be completely open.

As for how to attract traffic, it was also very simple.

Just pretend to be a female college student and post a few posts.

Are there any cute boys out there? I want to date recently. Who will take me home? I naturally don't have a gag reflex, I've learned to dance and can do the splits, with attached photos of a sexy female internet celebrity.

He guaranteed that those rough guys would howl when they saw it and stay up all night in the forum without sleeping.

Attracting female college students was also very simple, just create a few points of conflict.

Family, does anyone understand? My boyfriend actually wants to go Dutch when he takes me out to eat, so cringe.

Family, does anyone understand? I'm in love with the same man as my sister, should I let go?

The forum's early profits would definitely come from advertising, and later it would need to catch up with the Internet trend and find opportunities to develop in the direction of short videos.

"I need to buy a domain name first."

"Right, I also need to rent virtual space."

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

Domain names were graded, and the hotter the domain name, the more expensive it was. Those related to college students were too expensive, those linked to Tencent were even more expensive, and some of the more popular hot words had already been registered.

Jiang Qin thought about it and suddenly considered a question.

What year was the real Zhihu founded?

It seemed to be after 2010?

That meant there wasn't a Zhihu yet?

Heh, what a coincidence, then sorry, this domain name is mine for now.

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

This name is quite impressive, zhi hu zhe ye, although it's a pun, it does have a cultural flavor and is quite fitting for the university student demographic.

"L... Lao Jiang, what did you spend three thousand yuan on just now?"

"Bought a domain name, planning to make a website to play around with."

Jiang Qin then noticed that the three guys behind him hadn't left, so he didn't hide it.

Hearing the answer, Zhou Chao and Ren Ziqiang opened their mouths wide. They didn't have much of a concept of websites, but they had a concept of money. Their living expenses were only six hundred yuan, but who would have thought that Jiang Qin would spend three thousand yuan to buy something invisible and intangible? This was just too ridiculous.

Cao Guangyu, on the other hand, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't speak.

Even though he was a rich second generation, he wouldn't dare to spend three thousand yuan in one go. After all, no matter how much money his family had, it belonged to his old man, and his living expenses were only one thousand.

In comparison, Cao Guangyu felt that Jiang Qin was more like a rich second generation. Could this dog be pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger? "Lao Jiang, what does your family do? How can you spend money so wildly?"

"Ordinary and low-level wage earners."

Ren Ziqiang was numb: "Then how much is your monthly living expense?"

Jiang Qin pulled open his clothes and flipped out his wallet: "Five hundred, bought a ticket and there's three hundred and sixty left. Hey, does anyone want this one yuan coin?"

"I want it, give it to me!"

Zhou Chao reached out and pinched the coin: "Brother Jiang, you're really a spendthrift, but I like it."

Jiang Qin closed his wallet: "Not a spendthrift, it's just that coins are easy to lose in your pocket, so it's better to give them away."

After hearing this, Cao Guangyu scoffed: "Lao Zhou, you're really hopeless, you even want a yuan? Have you never seen money before?"

"You think I'm greedy for the 1 yuan on the front, but actually I love the national emblem on the back!"

"You son of a bitch... you're really good at arguing."

Zhou Chao raised the corner of his mouth triumphantly, put the coin in his pocket, and turned around to lie back on his bed.

Ren Ziqiang stretched and yawned as he went into the bathroom.

Cao Guangyu glanced at his phone, then at Jiang Qin's computer, his expression suddenly becoming a little depressed.

He had shown off three times today, and he should have established the status and dignity of the leading brother in the dormitory, but Jiang Qin intercepted him every time, so how could he be happy?

"Lao Jiang, can you leave me some face next time I show off?"

"Didn't I?"

"Did you?"

"Okay, I got it, I'll let you show off thoroughly next time."

Cao Guangyu pouted, not knowing if he was telling the truth or not, but at least he felt a lot better, so he hugged his new phone and started surfing the internet.

At the same time, Jiang Qin noticed a QQ message prompt suddenly popping up in the lower right corner of the computer. He grabbed the mouse and clicked on it, and found that it was Hong Yan, whom he had met yesterday.

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

"Now?"

"How about tomorrow, after registration?"

Jiang Qin put his hands behind his head, leaned slightly on the back of the chair, and looked thoughtful.

He had only met Hong Yan once, so he couldn't be considered familiar with her, only acquainted. Although they said "see you when you have time" at the school gate that day, Jiang Qin thought it was just a polite remark, but he didn't expect this girl to be so serious.

"Okay, then contact you tomorrow?"

"ok~"
