Chapter 154 Wealthy People Don't Panic

The bespectacled A-Qiang rushed over.

He knocked on the office door and said after entering, "Boss, they bought a painting of the God of Wealth and came back. The incense burner and offerings are ready. They're waiting for you to burn incense!"

Su Yehao was puzzled and asked, "Is there such a rule for launching a product?"

"It's always good to pay respects. What if they think we're not respectful enough? Wouldn't we die unjustly?"

After A-Qiang finished speaking, he spat three times and clasped his hands together, chanting that it would definitely work and wouldn't fail.

"..."

Su Yehao decisively stood up. Anyway, it was just burning incense, and it wouldn't take much time. It was good to find some psychological comfort.

Speaking of the God of Wealth, Su Yehao suddenly remembered the emerald statue of the God of Wealth he had ordered. Until now, he still hadn't received a call from the store owner. Perhaps it was too difficult to find suitable materials, especially good raw materials suitable for carving large pieces.

When he entrusted the boss to help, the other party also said that it would take patience. After all, this kind of thing wasn't like pendants and bead chains that could always be found with some effort. There was no rush for the time being.

Nong Qingying found it interesting and followed Su Yehao to the office area.

She saw a God of Wealth painting bought for a few dollars temporarily pasted on the wall, and apples, oranges, and so on were placed on a small table covered with red cloth.

The locals in Hong Kong like to pay respects when they have nothing to do, especially for such an important matter today. Even Miles, who had lived overseas for several years, was muttering, "Don't have any bugs, it must be a hit."

There were also several foreign employees in the company.

A white man with a beard was holding a coffee cup and curiously asked in English in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Another white man next to him, who had lived in Hong Kong for a longer time, calmly explained, "Praying for the blessing of the god who makes people rich. The old man with the long beard in the picture is called the God of Money. Whoever he helps gets rich. Everyone likes him."

The bearded, slightly chubby programmer was immediately dumbfounded. This guy had just been poached to Hong Kong for more than a month and had seen too little.

At this moment, he exclaimed in shock, "WTF! There's such an awesome god?"

"Of course. Here, the gods have very detailed job divisions, and they are in charge of different tasks. So strictly speaking, they are more professional and more efficient," the senior patiently told him calmly, his tone serious.

……

As the boss, Su Yehao was responsible for taking the lead in burning incense.

A group of programmers were extremely serious, each with their own thoughts.

The atmosphere for Internet startups in Hong Kong was not strong enough. It was not easy for them to find suitable high-paying jobs at their doorstep. No one wanted their responsible tasks to go wrong at this critical moment.

"Continue to get rich! Good luck!"

Su Yehao said a sincere sentence, and then he thought of the group of people who were following him, so he added, "Everyone get rich! As long as the project is successful, promotions and salary increases are just around the corner!"

"Thank you, boss!"

A-Qiang, the bespectacled guy who had been worried that he would be kicked out after the two-year contract ended, took the lead in flattering and clapping vigorously. Others quickly followed, and a round of applause rang out.

Su Yehao, who was smiling so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, finally began to feel some so-called cohesion. He raised his hand to signal them to keep a low profile.

Deputy Director Miles, taking advantage of John Zhou's absence, also began to flatter him, offering the opportunity to launch the tAt1.0 beta version to Su Yehao. All he had to do was press the enter key.

Su Yehao timed it, and after pressing the keyboard, the official website refreshed after waiting a few seconds due to poor network conditions.

Immediately afterward, other employees also released an announcement about the launch of the new version through the original tAt chat room. The copy had been prepared in advance.

The number of downloads could be seen through the backend.

Five minutes passed, and it was only downloaded more than seventy times. Then another three minutes passed, and it had just broken three digits.

In response, Su Yehao only felt a little pitiful. The road ahead was long and arduous. His employees were very excited, contacting the database and closely monitoring the product's usage...

Nong Qingying watched the whole process.

When she returned to Su Yehao's office again, she asked, "There are so few downloads, and it doesn't cost any money? Even WPS Office can sell 70,000 copies a month. What are you trying to do by staring at this company?"

"Take it slow, don't be anxious. There are only four or five thousand weekly active accounts to begin with, and some of them are students who are being forced to use it for school. It's already very good to have a hundred downloads in a few minutes. There's a chance to break a thousand today. There are still too few internet users."

He patted his thigh, signaling Nong Qingying to sit over. She ignored him, afraid of being seen by others.

Su Yehao continued, "It doesn't matter at all whether we make money now. I've prepared to burn money for five years in advance. A few hundred million may not be enough. To be honest, I'm not afraid of burning money. I'm just afraid that I won't even have the chance to burn money and the project will fail directly. As long as there's a little hope, I can support and optimize it at the same time, striving to create the most satisfying product for customers."

"It'll cost that much?"

"That's still on the low side. If there's really a chance to seize the throne, 1 billion Hong Kong dollars is probably just a drop in the bucket. You work at KOKO Ventures. The most important thing is not to stare at the company's own performance, but to look at its development potential, the number of users, and market share."

Nong Qingying was the vice president at KOKO Ventures, a position she got through connections. Her understanding of the industry was not outstanding.

That's why Su Yehao was teaching her hand-in-hand, trying to change Nong Qingying's perception and cultivate this woman into a competent assistant. It was important to understand the rules of the game in advance.

Nong Qingying had heard similar views more than once.

She found that Su Yehao was serious, so she nodded and smiled, "It sounds easy to understand. If you think it's okay, then it's okay. Anyway, in the end, I still have to listen to you. I found a few decoration companies and made an appointment to chat with them in person. The designer who will decorate the house on the roof will also come."

"The decoration of the Siheyuan (courtyard house) is a bit different. I want to find the feeling of a boutique inn, with flowers and water in the courtyard, and both classical and modern styles in the rooms. I don't know if they can pull it off."

"As long as you spend money, you can always design it the way you want it. At worst, keep changing it and let the designer experience what it means to be desperate," Nong Qingying said jokingly.

The tAt1.0 beta version was launched. Su Yehao turned on the computer and downloaded and installed it.

Nong Qingying had played tAt chat room, but had forgotten her account and password. He reapplied for her and wrote the account and password on a piece of paper.

Since they couldn't log in at the same time, Su Yehao could only switch accounts back and forth to make her his friend.

After writing the note, he realized that something was wrong.

Afraid that Nangong Tian would look through his friend list in the future, he noted it as "Deputy General Nong," and added a few more employees to make up the numbers, so that she wouldn't be alone and too eye-catching.

Always keep a backup plan so you don't panic when you encounter a crisis.

Taking Nong Qingying to meet the designers, the number of downloads of the tAt1.0 beta version continued to increase.

More than half an hour after the launch, 300 old users had completed the update.

There was no feedback yet, but fortunately the foundation was solid, the experience was smooth, the page was beautiful and concise, and there were no problems for the time being...
