Top Student: Experience Infinite Occupations

87 Referral Plan

“Zhao Peng, don’t be angry!” Li Chengqian was very calm.

“I’ve arranged everything.”

“The Divine Dragon Optimization App has been removed, but this is only temporary.”

“Soon, the Divine Dragon Optimization App will become popular again. What we have to do is wait patiently.” Li Chengqian sneered. The removal of the Divine Dragon Optimization App from the app stores had made Li Chengqian realize something.

It was necessary to control the distribution channel of mobile phone software! Otherwise, any software released would be at the mercy of others.

Zhao Peng had absolute confidence in Li Chengqian. An idea popped up in his mind very quickly. “Captain, the award ceremony for the Junior Informatics Programming Competition will be broadcast live online and on television. Do you want to promote the Divine Dragon Optimization App at the award ceremony?”

Right on the heels of that, Zhao Peng frowned again. “Captain, there aren’t many viewers for the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. If you want to promote the App through a live broadcast, it might not be very effective.”

“Alright, stop guessing!” Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head. He kept Zhao Peng in suspense and said, “Don’t ask. The Divine Dragon Optimization App will be updated at noon today. You will understand what is going on after the software update.”

There was not much content that needed to be updated. The update was only 1Mb. During the development of the Divine Dragon Optimization App, Li Chengqian had adopted a modular development method. The App could be updated in the background without affecting the users.

Moreover, every time he updated, he would only update the module that had changed.

This 1Mb update included an app store program and a Divine Dragon Optimization App Referral Program!

The Divine Dragon Optimization App Referral Program was actually very simple. The annual fee would be waived when one shared the App more than 18 times, and each time the App was installed and kept on the phone for more than three days.

This was a very simple plan.

He would reward existing users for promoting the Divine Dragon Optimization App.

If other apps were to adopt this, Li Chengqian was certain that 99% of the apps would be uninstalled by the users after it had met the time requirements.

However, this definitely won’t be the case for the Divine Dragon Optimization App!

This was because after installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App, the performance of any phone would improve. The phone would work faster and the battery life would increase. These changes were very obvious and users could easily sense it.

When users find an app useful, they would naturally retain it.

Li Chengqian’s expected retention rate for the Referral Program was 50%!

Fifty percent of users would retain the Divine Dragon Optimization App after installation and become users of the App.

Among these 50% of users, a portion of them would share the Divine Dragon Optimization App. This way, although the Divine Dragon Optimization App had been removed from the various app stores, it would be spread through acquaintances, friends, and on social media, and so on.

And the Referral Program was just one part of Li Chengqian’s plan.

After the Divine Dragon Optimization App was taken off the shelves, Li Chengqian had been thinking how to resolve the problem. Then, he discovered a magical thing on the Internet.

The National Software and Information Technology Services Development Plan.

The Divine Dragon Optimization App could be considered a software development project that made up for the shortcomings of basic software.

With the help of Wang Dalin from the State Secrets Protection Bureau, Li Chengqian contacted Lin Xiong, the expert who reviewed the space station operating system.

On Lin Xiong’s recommendation, the experts at the Software Research Institute, which was under the Academy of Sciences, had already started reviewing and testing the Divine Dragon Optimization App.

Dr. Wu Biao, who was in charge of this project at the Software Research Institute, had already sent a message to Li Chengqian in the morning to inform him to make a trip to Dragon City soon to answer questions related to the Divine Dragon Optimization App.

After the interview, there was a high chance that the Divine Dragon Optimization App would be included in the national project that was aimed at making up for shortcomings of basic software.

Once the App was included in the project, the country would give it strong policy support, though there wouldn’t be direct funding.

For example, national publicity on the Divine Dragon TV Station. This was invaluable. A previously little known company could become well known within a minute.

Or for another example, it would be favored in a nationwide mobile phone purchase contract.

The Divine Dragon Mobile Communications Company had 60 million customized phones just in the previous year alone!

As long as he got the contract for these 60 million phones, Li Chengqian would be able to get a billion yuan in software usage fees every year.

This was the reason why Li Chengqian had always been full of confidence.

“Oh, then I have to wait for the update!” Zhao Peng trusted Li Chengqian unconditionally. “Captain, I’ll go back now. I have to go to class and promote the Divine Dragon Optimization App so that everyone can download it.”

After Zhao Peng left, Li Chengqian lowered his head to read. He had bought some books on brain studies and brain waves during the competition some time ago. He had already read most of the books and was down to the last one.

The more books he read, the more Li Chengqian realized how little he knew. Through the books, he realized that humans’ understanding of the operating mechanism of the brain, brain waves, and other brain sciences was very shallow.

“After I finish reading these books, I need more in-depth books to study.” However, Li Chengqian estimated that humans had yet to fully understand brain waves. As such, even if there were in-depth books, he wouldn’t benefit much from reading them.

“If all else fails, I would have to wait till I take on the University Student profession, so that I can buy knowledge on brain sciences and brain waves from the Profession Mall.” There were Knowledge skills available in the Profession Mall. As this was a game set against a sci-fi background, the Knowledge skills available in the Profession Mall were extremely advanced.

Brain science, brainwave analysis, and other knowledge were all available in the Profession Mall!

However, the most basic requirement for buying knowledge-type skills was to take on the University Student profession.

Moreover, after he took on the University Student profession, all the knowledge he had learned would exist in the form of Skills in his personal interface.

By that time, he could use his experience value points to upgrade the proficiency of his Skills and obtain complete knowledge of related subjects.

Zhao Peng had just left when Zhao Na, who was looking absolutely alluring, appeared at the entrance of Grade 12 Class 5.

Her fiery red lips and charming gaze attracted the attention of all the boys in the class.

Her eyes swept across the classroom and spotted Li Chengqian, who was focused on reading.

“This woman is so attractive.”

“What a stunner. She’s a hundred times better than those flirtatious female livestreamers. She has the charm of a mature woman?” Someone couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

“She reeks of hormones.”

“I feel like I’m in love.”

“And sexy. Who is this girl?”

“Could this woman be a new teacher at our school?”

Amidst everyone’s discussion, Zhao Na smiled charmingly and said to the boy at the door, “Student, can you do me a favor?”

...

“Okay!” When the boy heard Zhao Na’s voice, his body went limp. How could he refuse?

“Help me call Li Chengqian out. I have something to discuss with him.” Zhao Na pointed at Li Chengqian and said. In fact, Li Chengqian had instructed her not to come to the school unless it was something especially important.

She came as she had something really urgent but she couldn’t get through to Li Chengqian’s phone, so she could only come over personally.

The representatives of Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, and some major domestic mobile phone manufacturers had already arrived!

They were at Divine Dragon Software Company.

Faced with these technology big shots, Zhao Na could only come and look for Li Chengqian in school.

The other boys were also pricking up their ears to listen to what Zhao Na had to say. They heard what she said and turned to look at Li Chengqian enviously.

“Awesome Li, there’s a beauty at the door looking for you.” Before the boy at the door could speak, the students around Li Chengqian began to jeer.

Li Chengqian looked up and happened to see Zhao Na smiling sweetly. Then, under everyone’s envious gazes, he walked out of the classroom calmly.

“She’s so beautiful. Is this woman a model?”

“How did Li Chengqian get to know such a beauty? I’m so envious.”
