Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Sean thought for a moment before saying, "I was thinking of creating something called FriendNet, which is based on the same model as Alumni Network. It won't have the sections for studying, but we can add a section for sharing work experiences!"

"It's a good idea," Carlisle praised him.

Sean thought Carlisle had agreed with him, so he said immediately, "I'll get the R&D team to start developing Friend Net right now!"

"I haven't finished talking."

Carlisle laughed and said, "Have you considered the fact that Alumni Network's popularity will drop rapidly if we launch FriendNet?"

Alumni Network was a social network for students in tertiary institutions to use, whereas FriendNet would be a platform for all Internet users.

It's general knowledge that there are many more Internet users in the country than university students.

If FriendNet were launched, its registered users would be sure to surpass that of Alumni Network.

Most people tended to lean toward herd mentality and seeking novelty.

Once FriendNet gained traction, Alumni Network would likely lose users.

Instead of making a separate website, it would be more reasonable to open Alumni Network up to the public.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

However, the decline of SociableNet made Carlisle hesitant to make the decision.

"I-I didn't think about that."

Now that Carlisle had mentioned it, Sean became gloomy at once.

"Are we really going to give up on that demographic? There are 100 million of them!"

Alumni Network was now taking on advertisements. Thus, the profits from advertising fees would rise as the number of website users increased. If they could set up FriendNet, they could stand to make a considerable profit in advertising fees.

"Let's just do well with Alumni Network first. We shouldn't only be focused on expanding. In business, we must focus on the product and user experience."

Carlisle was also new to the business industry. He had only succeeded based on his memories from his past life, and he still hadn't decided what the future development of Alumni Network would be.

"Alright. I'm going to class now. Let's chat later, Carl!"

He was slightly taken aback when he saw Caulitorna mentioned in the documents.

Speaking Caulitornan was going to be a problem. Carlisle feared the Martells' staff would question why he didn't speak it.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

Carlisle pulled out his phone and glanced at the number. It was Wendell.

When he picked up, Wendell said, "Boss, Howard's younger sister is at Caltopia College. I've asked her to lunch tomorrow afternoon. It'll be good if you can get to know each other if the Martells investigate you through her!"

"Alright."

Carlisle's eyes lit up. Since he couldn't speak Caulitornan, he figured he could learn it from Sharon then.

The next day, Carlisle was woken by a call from Sean.

"Carl, time to get up to pee!"

"Get to the point!" Carlisle said in annoyance, his eyes still closed.

He had been dreaming about showering with Wanda and had just taken off his clothes when he was rudely awoken by Sean's call.

Sean said excitedly, "Carl, Alumni Network now has 3.6 million registered users! Within yesterday and the day before, we had an increase of 480 thousand new registered users, which has broken our record!"

Carlisle had only just received the news and initially thought he was still dreaming.

He only believed it when Felicia called to congratulate him.

"Wow!"

Carlisle opened his eyes, feeling rather excited.

480 thousand university students had registered on Alumni Network within just two days.

That meant that Alumni Network had really blown up across the country.

Sean suddenly said thoughtfully, "Carl, are we really going to keep Alumni Network private? According to market research, about 100 million Internet users are currently in the country. That's a huge market!"

Alumni Network's explosive popularity had made Sean ambitious. His target demographic was no longer just students. If he wanted to earn more money, he would have to turn to those who were already working.

Before Carlisle could answer, Sean continued, "I'm worried that other businessmen will get there before we do. They might even use our model."

Carlisle was extremely satisfied to hear Sean's ideas. It showed that Sean was thinking more like a businessman. He had already learned to think ahead and plan in advance and clearly had a good head for business.

However, Carlisle still wanted to hear what he planned to do next, so he asked, "So, are you planning to create another social network website?"
