The world is in trouble

Chapter 143: Soaring! Celebrities come to vote! (Seeking monthly votes)
One hundred and thirty thousand!
When the number of Facebook registrations reached this number, cheers broke out throughout the company.

These days, everyone feels like they are on a speeding train.

Just keep accelerating, keep accelerating.

It feels like I can't stop at all.

That’s really awesome.

In just about a week, the number of registered users soared to 130,000.

In fact, everyone was a little lost at the beginning.

Especially on the first and second days, Feng Xian, Cheng Hai and others still felt that Facebook's momentum was not as good as that of Yangwang.

Within three days, the number of daily visiting IP addresses on Yangwang reached 50,000 to 60,000.

Facebook had 8,000 on the first day and 13,000 on the second day.

But on the third day, it soared by 20,000.

And then it just kept racing.

In less than ten days, the number of registrations reached 13.

then……

The speed began to slow down.

Lin Xiao knew that this was normal.

University is a very closed market, so the reaction is very fast. In this environment, word spreads from person to person, and the game becomes popular very quickly.

Secretary Xiao Lian, in particular, made great contributions.

In just one week, she organized flash mobs at almost all universities in Shanghai.

There are lots of activities that don't even cost money.

Flash mobs became popular in the United States two years ago. Many college students in China have not yet been exposed to them, but they are the ones who pursue fashion and trends the most.

In the following flash mob events, the number of participants increased.

Even those who were not invited to participate felt very disappointed, and many beautiful girls even applied to participate on their own initiative.

In 2002, the computer penetration rate among students was not high.

But it doesn’t matter, even though they don’t have their own computers, it doesn’t affect their use of computers at all.

Most students go to the Internet cafe in the school's computer room to surf the Internet, and a small number go to outside Internet cafes to surf the Internet.

Of course, because this game has become a little bit popular.

Therefore, among these hundreds of thousands of registered users, there must be some people from outside the school.

In order to ensure the social gene of acquaintances, there is a certain threshold for registering on Facebook.

That is, you must fill in your student ID number, and then each university will open its own email address.

It will probably be a month or two later.

It will be even simpler then, as you will need a university-specific email address to register.

But this group of people are the family members and friends of teachers and students of several universities.

According to Lin Xiao's judgment, about 20 registered users should be the limit.

Because the total number of students in all universities in Shanghai is about 300,000, plus teachers, their families, etc., that's about 400,000. If a quarter of this group registers, it's already very impressive.

In addition, a large number of people in society will try to break through the threshold to register.

After all, this game has gradually become popular, and many people in society also want to play the last ten levels.

For example, at Shanghai TV, Li Shuang has already brought together hundreds of people to find a way to successfully register.

But even so, 20 registered users should be the limit in Shanghai at present.

Once it spreads to several key cities across the country, the number of registered users will usher in a new round of surge.

Unlike Lingxi Island, although their target is within universities, there is no threshold for registration, so their registered users will soar more rapidly.

........................

"There is something." Xia Xi walked straight into Lin Xiao's office.

"We now have a total of fifty-one people in our company."

“But there is a lack of high-end talent.”

“We lack a person with a keen eye, product intuition, and broad vision.”

Xia Xi said: "Whether it's Feng Xian or Cheng Hai, their loyalty is first-rate."

“But the capacity ceiling is limited.”

Lin Xiao asked: "What is your goal?"

Xia Xi said: "There are several candidate targets, but none of them are very satisfactory. There is one target that I like the most. Do you know who it is?"

Lin Xiao asked: "Wu Laicai?"

Xia Xi said: "Yes."

At first, Lin Xiao had no good feeling towards Lucas, thinking that he was hypocritical and a playboy.

But after getting in touch with him, I found that he was very capable.

Especially in the transaction negotiation of Yang.com, he had a very deep understanding of Yang.com and saw the ceiling at a glance. However, for his own interests, he still worked very hard to facilitate the transaction and helped Lin Xiao get 10 million US dollars from Little Li Chaoren.

And now, he has also become the direct person in charge of Yangwang and Yangyang's live broadcast room.

He was considered a local lord.

According to Lin Xiao and Xia Xi's judgment, after the acquisition of Yangwang and Yangyang Live Room, they will enter an immediate decline period.

In fact, the same is true.

But... after a period of decline, Lucas stopped the decline.

We continued to update the borderline content on Yangwang and increased the number of borderline anchors to nearly a hundred.

And the live broadcast of curiosity-seeking is also included in the list.

Not only that, he also hired a large number of writers to write marginal books.

Moreover, he also developed a borderline text messaging game.

So now the Yanwang has expanded to about 200 people.

The revenue is higher than before Lin Xiao sold it.

Of course, the cost is much higher, but it is still profitable.

Zhou Yunfan and Yang Yun's Kongzhong.com is also doing very well.

There is actually a saying that the north is in the sky and the south is itchy.

Both companies are currently major mobile SP customers.

And TOM is really awesome. He took over Yangwang and immediately developed the national SP business.

Not only that, no one cares if they try to skirt the rules again.

Therefore, Lucas's ability is fully demonstrated in the current operation of Yangwang and Yangyang's live broadcast room.

Moreover, the text messaging game that Lin Xiao had looked down upon before was also played very well by him.

Damn, other people’s text games are all martial arts-themed.

As for Lucas, in order to fit the temperament of Yank.com, the text games he developed are all borderline games.

If the hardware conditions had not allowed it, you would have almost developed "I'm Surrounded by Beauties".

"Lucas won't come." Lin Xiao said, "He is now on his own, and this is his chance to prove himself."

As for talents, Lin Xiao actually has many goals.

Feng Ji, Wang Xing, Cheng Wei, Liu Xiaoyu, Li Songlun and so on.

But these people are either still in college or abroad.

Even if you find him now, it won't be of much use.

When it comes to people with the right social genes, it’s definitely Wang Xing.

King star!

This man is an absolute genius.

After Facebook became popular in the United States, Wang Xing immediately copied the campus network in the country.

In just a few months, the company had tens of thousands of users. It grew too fast and they could no longer afford to burn money, so they sold it to Chen Yizhou for US$2 million and merged it into Renren.

Moreover, he was the first to engage in social networking. He founded Youzi.com and Duoduo.com for overseas Chinese.

Later, I founded Fanfou, not to mention Meituan. After several entrepreneurial ventures, it eventually became a giant.

However, he hasn't graduated yet and is still in the United States. He only officially graduated with a master's degree in 05.

"There is another problem. Although our registered users have soared rapidly, their activity level is very low." Xia Xi said, "Because almost all of them are attracted by the game, even if they publish content, it is all related to Plants vs. Zombies."

Lin Xiao said: "This is already very good. At least Plants vs. Zombies is very suitable for interaction and social interaction."

"But this is really important. We must keep users active and build the entire ecosystem. We can't just rely on Plants vs. Zombies. The popularity of the game will always fade."

So far, there is no real WEB2.0 website in China.

So, after users register on Facebook, they still don’t know how to play.

But some people are naturally perceptive and already know how to play.

For example, Jiang Lier, she was very surprised to find out.

With Facebook, the time cost of raising fish is much lower, and she no longer needs to use several QQ accounts.

There is no need to find ways to train dozens of licking dogs.

You just need to post fixed photos and fixed content every day.

The fish will swim in on their own initiative every day, and the licking dog will come to greet you on their own initiative every day.

What used to take dozens of messages and several hours to accomplish.

Now it's done in a few minutes.

I love Facebook so much.

Another person who was having a great time was He Xu, a little tea boy in Lin Xiao’s class.

There is also Li Duanduan.

The other one turned out to be Lin Miao from East China University of Political Science and Law.

This group of girls are born to seduce men and have captured a large number of fans.

They have found a special pleasure on Facebook.

More and more fans, more and more bootlickers.

But it is not enough to rely on these naturally sensitive girls.

So Lin Xiao is preparing to launch the second campaign to retain these registered users in the shortest time possible.

And make them active.

You don’t need too many, just tens of thousands of very active users and the entire ecosystem can be built.

Zuckerberg made Facebook famous thanks to his school beauty campaign.

And Lin Xiao’s second battle will only be even bigger.

………………

The company held another general meeting.

"We fought our first battle beautifully, and it was almost a great success!"

"In less than ten days, it attracted about 13 registered users."

"But now these registered users are very inactive, this won't work, they will soon become dead users."

"Most users don't know how to use Facebook yet, so the next step is to teach them how to use it."

“So, we are going to launch a massive Facebook Second Campaign!”

"This second battle is to make Facebook fully active, to get more than half of the registered users to start interacting, and to make the entire ecosystem come alive."

“This is also a crucial battle!”

"If we succeed in this battle, our Facebook will be completely alive and stable."

"In order to launch the second campaign, we will recruit Facebook commanders in various universities, two people in total."

"There is salary and commission."

………………

The rapid development of Facebook during this period made Liao Feng completely frightened.

He has already figured out how to hire trolls to flood game posts on the BBS forums of various schools.

But it's totally useless.

Once Plants vs. Zombies started spreading from person to person, it was impossible to stop it. He could only watch the number of registered users on Facebook soar.

Since he couldn't suppress it, he would work hard to develop Lingxi Island.

Keep spending money.

Anyway, his Liao family and Wu Lingxi's family are rich.

There is also a lot of start-up funds provided.

Under this money-spending offensive, Lingxi Island entered a period of faster expansion.

More than several hundred people are promoting it in universities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai at the same time.

The lottery event is in full swing.

Burning six figures of money every day.

And the results obtained are also very gratifying.

The number of registered users of Lingxi Island has soared again.

Once again, Facebook was left far behind.

"Boss, although the number of registered users on Facebook has soared, the user activity is too weak. Their content is too monotonous, not as rich as our Lingxi Island. Our user activity is much higher."

"Their users are all attracted by Plants vs. Zombies and registered just to play the game. They will eventually become dead users. There is nothing to be afraid of."

"It's actually hard for me to imagine why Lin Xiao made Facebook so simple. I can't even feel any appeal from it."

"I can't imagine what the future of his Facebook will be."

........................

Bubble is going to enter the examination room today.

She feels so nervous.

Although I have been studying hard recently, a lot of my mind is still affected by Facebook.

Although I have not registered, I go there countless times every day.

See if the activity level is high and whether the number of registered users has increased.

If Lin Xiao hadn't asked her to stay at home to review, she would have run to the school to distribute flyers.

Secretary Xiao Lian is smart and can organize various activities.

There are two types of bubbles: posting small advertisements and cursing people on forums.

The two of them took a taxi to the examination room. When they were about to get off the car, Lin Xiao sighed again.

Although starting a business requires money, I really need to buy a car.

"Woof woof, you guys on Facebook are going to launch a second campaign to keep registered users, right?" Bubble said, "And you're recruiting Facebook commanders from every school. I suddenly thought of who would be the most suitable person at the Shanghai Theatre Academy."

Lin Xiao held her cheek and said, "Okay, don't think about these things today. Just take the exam seriously."

Two people often find themselves staring at each other for no apparent reason, and this happens anytime and anywhere.

As she watched, Bubble's face turned red for no apparent reason. I wonder what she was thinking about in her little head.

"My little wolfdog is so cute. The more I look at it, the prettier it becomes."

Bubble couldn't help but pout her little lips and kissed Lin Xiao on his lips, nose tip, and between his eyebrows.

The taxi driver in front couldn't help but say: "Gentlemen, I am 38 years old this year."

"There is a fat and fierce woman at home..."

"So please be considerate, okay?"

Bubbles whispered, "I'm sorry, I just forgot we were in the car."

Lin Xiao sent Paopao into the examination room, and she once again became a beautiful scenery. She really looked like a colorful bubble, floating from the road into the examination room, attracting everyone's attention.

When we got back into the taxi, the driver couldn't help but say, "Young man, I've picked up countless passengers and seen countless beautiful girls, but your girlfriend is really the most beautiful."

Sometimes, beauty is really just a feeling.

The bubble of happiness really makes your whole body glow, and that joy will infect the people around you.

"How did you catch up with her?" The driver said, "You took a taxi and you don't have much money. If you had money, you would have bought a car a long time ago."

Lin Xiao sighed and said, "It was given by my parents. It's just a face. There's nothing I can do about it."

The driver took a closer look at Lin Xiao's face and sighed again: "Hey, people are really unfair."

"I'm going to give my parents a good scolding when I get home."

………………

Lin Xiao didn't know that the handsome talent Wang Xing that he had his eyes on seemed to be snatched away by someone else.

Although he graduated with a master's degree in 05, he actually spent a lot of time in China during the next two or three years.

Looking for entrepreneurial opportunities, flying back and forth between China and the United States.

At present, there is only one social concept in his mind.

But how to do it specifically is still not very clear.

After learning that Facebook had become very popular in the United States, he suddenly realized something, found a clear goal, and copied the campus network.

Liao Feng and Wu Lingxi have wider networks of contacts, and they are also short of talented people who can stand on their own.

After several twists and turns, someone introduced Wang Xing to him.

"Don't you want to do social networking? Lingxi Island is the best social networking site in China, with more than 300,000 registered users."

"Even if you want to start your own business in the future, you can join his company to learn from his experience," said the acquaintance.

Then, Liao Feng met Wang Xing in the office on Lingxi Island.

At this time, Wang Xing did not have any halo. Although his family was rich and had a net worth of several hundred million, it was still not comparable to Liao Feng's family.

Therefore, Liao Feng still looked down on others in his heart.

Of course, on the surface, he is still very respectful to others.

"Laolai has said you so many times in my ears that my ears are almost callused. I have been waiting for you every day since I knew you were going to return to China."

"I've been talking about it since a few days ago. I'm really eager to recruit talented people."

"Our company is in need of elites like you who have overseas study experience, broaden your horizons, and understand technology."

"Join us, we'll give you options and a salary comparable to that in the United States."

"Basic salary, 60 per year!"

He added in his heart that he could only get these by passing my assessment.

Considering the size of Lingxi Island, this salary is already extremely high.

Wang Xing's family is wealthy, but he hardly ever uses his family's money. The hundreds of thousands of dollars he used to start campus.net were all borrowed from various sources.

Wang Xing said: "Can I take a look at your website?"

Liao Feng asked: "Haven't you seen it yet?"

Wang Xing said: "I just got off the plane and was brought here to see you."

Then, Liao Feng opened Lingxi Island with pride.

"We have more than 35 registered users. We are currently leading the industry and have no rivals."

Wang Xing began to browse the Lingxi Island website.

For quite a while.

"Can I tell the truth?" Wang Xing said.

Liao Feng was slightly unhappy, but he smiled heartily and said, "Of course, speak freely."

Wang Xing said: "It's too mixed, not pure."

"The idea is very good, whether it is social networking, second-hand trading, or moving electronic products online, each one is very promising and has a large market."

"But when put together, they look like nothing."

“I think the future of the Internet should not seek perfection, but specialization.”

This time, Liao Feng frowned slightly.

This is a denial of me from the root.

Is there anything wrong with having a rich variety of business formats?
Is it going to be as simple as Lin Xiao’s Facebook?
Look at his website. Although it has a large number of users, their activity level is so low that it won’t be long before all of them turn into zombie users. This really corresponds to his game.

And look at the Yang.com founded by Lin Xiao. After being taken over by Lucas, it has developed in full swing.

The business formats are becoming more and more diverse.

Not only are there borderline live broadcasts and borderline novels, but now even borderline word games are also thriving.

The two chatted for a while and found that they didn't have much in common.

Liao Feng's words were full of desire for greatness and perfection.

Big words keep leaking out, but there is only one meaning behind all the words.

Within three years, go to Nasdaq to ring the bell.

"Thank you Mr. Liao for your interest. I will think about it carefully when I get back." Wang Xing said.

"Okay." Liao Feng stood up to see him off.

But now, it seems that neither of them looks down on the other.

Now that you are here, you might as well make the most of it and take a good look around Aurora University.

After strolling around for a while, Wang Xing walked into the Jingjing Internet Cafe not far away.

As soon as I entered the Internet cafe, I was almost knocked out by the sound of strange music.

Damn, this devilish sound fills my ears.

In the entire Internet cafe, a large part of the people are playing CS, and another large part are playing Plants vs. Zombies.

He turned on a computer and planned to surf the Internet normally.

As a result, a beautiful girl not far away kept looking at him, which made him shy.

Me, am I that handsome?

This girl is really beautiful. She has a small, baby-like face, but her body is a little chubby.

The best girl!
As soon as their eyes met, Jiang Lierkao sat over without any courtesy and directly drove away the boy next to Wang Xing.

"Handsome guy, new face, you just got here?"

"Ah."

Jiang Lier said: "I recommend you to play a game. It is guaranteed to be fun and you will definitely not regret it. I am also in it."

"Aurora University freshman entrepreneurial project, "Plants vs. Zombies."

"I've already opened it for you, you're welcome."

Jiang Lier grabbed the mouse directly, opened the game, and selected the first level to start.

"Come on, play."

Wang Xing was stunned. This, this girl is even more aggressive than American girls.

"Okay, thank you." Wang Xing couldn't refuse the invitation and started playing "Plants vs. Zombies".

He was forced to play.

As a result… after playing it, I simply couldn’t stop.

Actually, he is not very interested in games, although he did launch web games when he was at Renren.

But... I was surprised to find that this game is really easy to get into.

Once you're in, you can't get out.

This, this is actually an entrepreneurial project of Aurora University students?

Are domestic universities already so awesome?
Is it possible to make a game of such high quality?

After all, he was a genius who was admitted to Tsinghua University. He passed the exam easily and went straight to the 20th level.

I found out that I can’t play anymore.

Please enter the serial number and register on Facebook to get it.

Then he opened Facebook.

Originally, he just wanted to browse it casually, but that's just the way he is. When he sees a new website, he will instinctively study and judge it.

This observation is remarkable.

Depend on!
This, isn’t this the pure social interaction I’ve always dreamed of?

No, it is purer than what I imagined.

Are domestic college students so awesome?
