109: Chapter 19 Profit Model

President Zhang pulled back his hand, the smile on his face vanishing completely.

"President Chen, I advise you not to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."

Chen Ling rolled her eyes.

This fat pig—give him an inch and he thinks he's a ruler.

"President Wang, do you intend to tell me the news or not? If you don't, I'm leaving right now."

"What's the rush?" President Wang picked up his wine glass, took a sip of red wine, and added, "Didn't I already say? I need to see your sincerity!"

Chen Ling couldn't be bothered to waste words with him.

She stood up, grabbed her bag, and turned to leave.

“Tsk! Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Don't you want to know why Wuze Company suddenly spent so much money on a public tender?”

Her footsteps faltered, and Chen Ling stood still where she was.

She turned her head and asked President Wang, "What exactly do you want?"

President Wang patted the seat next to him.

"Come over here. As long as you come over, I'll tell you."

Chen Ling narrowed her eyes and took out her phone to send her location to Yang Jin.

[I'm here, come pick me up.]

After sending it, she walked over and sat down beside President Wang.

"Now you can tell me, right?"

President Wang suddenly pulled Chen Ling toward him, wrapping his arm around her.

"Sigh, although you already have a child, I don't mind. The two of us..."

Before he could finish, Chen Ling slapped him across the face.

"I must have been possessed to actually believe you were here to give me information."

His face whipped to the side from the slap. Shamed into rage, President Wang grabbed Chen Ling's hand and roared, "You really don't know what's good for you! It's your honor that I'm willing to take an interest in you!"

"Don't you just want to know why Wuze is spending so much money on a public tender?"

"As long as you're willing to spend a night with me, I'll tell you every bit of news I know!"

Chen Ling pushed back desperately.

It was just a piece of news; she had plenty of ways to get it.

President Wang wanted to buy a night with her for just one piece of information—he really thought she was far too cheap!

"Get off me!"

Hearing this, President Wang became even more excited.

"I know you're just saying the opposite of what you feel. You actually like me a lot, don't you?"

When did she ever like him?!

Chen Ling almost vomited from disgust.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

President Wang didn't care about any of that. Pouting his lips, he moved directly toward Chen Ling's face.

"Damn it! You dead fat pig! Get away from me!"

Due to the disparity in strength, no matter how much Chen Ling resisted, she could only be pinned down on the sofa.

Just as Chen Ling was beginning to feel desperate and on the verge of a breakdown, the door opened.

"What are you doing?!"

Hearing that voice, Chen Ling's eyes lit up.

"Yang Jin! Quick, save me!"

Before President Wang could look up to see who it was, Yang Jin kicked him onto the floor.

"Xiao Ling! Are you okay?"

Chen Ling nodded and got up from the sofa.

"Call the police, I want to call the police! I'm definitely going to make him go to jail!"

Seeing this, President Wang finally began to panic.

"Don't, don't, don't. This is just a small matter, there's no need to make such a big scene."

Chen Ling let out a cold laugh.

"A small matter? You almost succeeded, and you're telling me this is a small matter?"

"I'm telling you, this isn't over! I have to send you to the police station!"

President Wang scrambled up from the floor in a panic.

"We can talk this through properly. Didn't you want to know why Wuze Company is spending so much money on a public tender?"

"I can tell you the inside information about their company, as long as you don't call the police."

Hearing this, Chen Ling felt a bit tempted.

"You aren't trying to trick me, are you?"

"How could I possibly trick you? I'm a man who never lies!"

Chen Ling would be a fool to believe him.

Among those doing business in the market, which one wasn't full of lies?

"Where did you get your information?"

President Wang answered honestly, "An old friend told me. He said Wuze is doing worse and worse lately. They plan to use the public tender to steal project ideas."

Chen Ling's eyes widened as she repeated in disbelief, "Steal project ideas?!"

President Wang nodded.

"Yeah, I heard they don't have the money to pay the bidding funds at all."

Chen Ling's mouth hung open.

Although she knew something fishy was going on, she hadn't expected that Wuze Company's goal was to steal project ideas.

"So that's how it is. No wonder they recklessly set such a high bid amount; they never intended to pay in the first place..."

Seeing Chen Ling lost in thought, President Wang gave them a fawning smile and said, "I've already told you the news. Can I go now?"

Chen Ling sneered.

"I never said I'd let you go if you told me. You chose to tell me this yourself."

"Yang Jin, call the police!"

Yang Jin didn't hesitate, taking out his phone and dialing the police.

"Damn it! You two have no sense of honor!"

Chen Ling ignored him completely, leading Yang Jin to block the door to prevent President Wang from leaving.

Unlike the chaos here...

Things were peaceful and quiet on Shen Yan's side.

"Today's software data is out. Compared to yesterday, it's doubled! It looks like our software is going to be a huge hit!"

In front of him, Chen Guangke was muttering excitedly.

"Indeed, if this trend continues, our software will soon be known by everyone."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something.

"Right, quite a few advertisers have approached us lately. Should we take them?"

Generally, recruitment software revenue comes from a few main channels:

Advertising, subscription fees, and commission splits.

Advertising refers to taking ads, while subscription fees refer to opening VIP accounts.

As for commission splits, it refers to the commission given to the platform after a company successfully hires someone.

Although the software's performance was flourishing, the company hadn't earned a single cent through the software yet.

Taking ads was, in fact, feasible.

"What kind of ads are looking for us?"

Chen Guangke pulled up a document and replied, "Mostly traffic-driving ads. The prices aren't very high, ranging from a few hundred thousand to over a million."

Shen Yan rubbed his temples and didn't answer immediately.

For a newly released software like theirs, an ad fee of several hundred thousand to over a million was already quite a lot.

However, he didn't actually want to take them in his heart.

The software had only just been launched.

If they inserted ads so soon, it would likely cause dissatisfaction among users.

Of course, the most important thing was that he wanted to change the software's profit model.

"Let's put the advertising matter aside for now. I'll go discuss it with He Yunri."

Chen Guangke looked bewildered.

"Why go discuss it with He Yunri?"

"He's just an investor. If there's money to be made, he'll definitely be willing."

Shen Yan explained, "I want to talk to him about changing the software's profit model."
