Chapter 377 Admit it, admit it, admit it

'Thanks to' the bad situation, Twitter's CEO Williams had to reconsider the crisis public relations solution.

Soon, Williams, along with two other co-founders, initiated a meeting of executives and expanded the meeting to include a shareholder meeting.

For a company that has already started preparations for listing, there are more or less capital institutions standing behind it.

Especially this company is still in the capital world like America.

Williams' ideas are not complicated. As a shareholder of Twitter, he has encountered some rather difficult things. It is no problem for everyone to work together, right?
It's okay to have some resources if you have resources.

This is normal operation.

It is not realistic to sit back and enjoy the benefits.

After all, if it's all about sharing the cake, I'll be the first, and if something happens, you should go first, and it will be difficult to survive in the capital market that is very particular about profits.

They are all people on the same boat, one is prosperous and the other is damaged.

After all, this is something no one wants to encounter.

In comparison, at least Twitter has not been held by the Eastern company on the other side of the ocean, so it is not so... uncomfortable.

"We have encountered a difficult and cunning opponent. He does not abide by the market rules, but also abides by the rules. He has created some incidents that none of us want to see. We hope that they will be properly handled."

At the beginning of the meeting, Williams mentioned the existing problems straight to the point.

"The current situation is not very good. The size of BoLang is not comparable to us. If it is carried out in the form of capital market, it will be difficult for us to resist."

A shareholder who participated in the meeting by telephone immediately said: "I don't pay much attention to Twitter's attribution, we pay more attention to its value."

Another shareholder said: "If BoLang must invest in Twitter, I don't have much opinion. This is a good thing for Twitter, which is about to go public."

Williams' heart sank directly.

He is the founder of Twitter.

Shareholders are mostly not.

From the perspective of interests, if Bolang is really willing to take over Twitter, it is not a bad choice, and it can also push up Twitter's valuation and IPO in a more "perfect" state.

Even Williams himself pondered that this proposal was not unacceptable.

But things don't and can't go that way.

Soon some shareholders scolded: "It is impossible for BoLang to invest in Twitter, and it is impossible for BoLang to acquire Facebook. Put away your little thoughts! BoLang will only be an opponent!"

"Why?"

"no why!"

Williams also explained: "For some reasons, some special investments and mergers and acquisitions are closed to the East. The current stock market is just a farce. Facebook knows it, many people know it, and BoLang knows it too."

Thus, the problem quickly became simple.

"What if the Stars version is developed?"

"It can further expand Twitter's user base. The disadvantage is that it will increase the pressure of competition with Eastern social platforms, and it will also promote Stars Apps to form an application ecology and capitalize on enemies."

"anything else?"

"The Pentagon suspects that Stars may be a brand new system."

"Bullshit, let them doubt it!"

The final resolution came much quicker and easier than Williams imagined.

The earliest Twitter stalemate not to develop the Stras version of the app can be understood as the reserve of a social platform with global influence, as well as the hints and expresses of some related people.

Even the opinions of some shareholders.

Because of the birth of Stars and its popularity in overseas markets, both Google and Apple were a bit embarrassed, and the two companies naturally made some simple responses.

Anyway, Bolang is a Chinese company, so the problem is not big.

Who doesn't need dirty tricks in business.

This is part of the factor.

Another part of the factor is that before, Stars was just a system, or just a ROM, and big companies would not take the initiative to adapt it.

Another part of the factor is the explicit instructions of some messy departments of America, for safety reasons and the like.

The last part of the factor is that Bolang promoted the plan to go overseas, and promoted three large comprehensive social platforms to enter the overseas market by itself, and formed a direct competitive relationship with Twitter. Can’t beat the opponent, can’t you still disgust the opponent?

The combination of so many factors prevented Twitter from developing the Star version of the app.

In fact, Williams himself and the other two co-founders have a choice between whether to launch the Stars version of Twitter.

It's just that they are disgusted to the point of being very uncomfortable now, and they are like eating shit instead.

Facebook is the same reason.

There are even more reasons for Facebook, because Facebook is large enough, and Mark Zucker will not take care of such details at all, and only put it on his desk because of national relations.

And Mark Zucker didn't like the East very much.

He has always wanted Facebook to enter the Chinese market.

But I can't get in.

Later, he came to China to do some shows in order to enter the Chinese market, but in the end he could not be recognized by the regulatory authorities, and then he raised the banner of opposition, expressing this and that in public more than once.

As for the tubing.

The reason is even simpler. It is a subsidiary of Google. When Stars promoted in overseas markets, it did not pay attention to Android. iOS was used as a stepping stone.

And Google's GMS is so good, and the income is so considerable, why should his family give convenience to its opponents.

Wouldn't it be better to be unable to move an inch?
That's how business is.

There doesn't have to be any enmity, just the simple reason that one goes up and down the other is enough.

however……

Now I can no longer play like before, Bolang suddenly played capital means, aggressively, combined with the conventional beautiful scenery, it is very uncomfortable.

…………

Later, Facebook issued a more cloudy statement.

It probably means to thank all parties for their concern, the company is normal and is exploring the new situation of social media.

Bolang was not mentioned at all.

but.

There is... intentionally revealed news that a small team at Facebook downloaded the integrated development environment (IDE) ecS (eclipse Stars).

There is no need to say more things.

Following this statement, Facebook's stock price has fallen significantly, but the decline is not too ugly, and it is expected not to exceed 10%.

On the Twitter side, Williams walked out of the office in person and faced the menacing free groups.

Delivered a rather beautiful speech.

Claiming that Twitter advocates freedom, supports freedom, and defends freedom.

Twitter has been pushing research and so on.

The real meaning is about the same as Facebook.

Twitter will also launch the Stars version.

Only YouTube, which was backed by Google in the end, didn't say anything, and still went its own way, but... this doesn't affect the daily use of XingHai1 very much.

The reason is quite simple.

Even Facebook, which has a market value of more than 1000 billion U.S. dollars, can't handle it. Other apps that are not so indispensable should go to Stars Apps.

What else can I do?
This is not something unacceptable.

The sales volume of XingHai1 is also good, and the hardware environment is also very friendly, maybe it can increase some of the revenue.

.........

"It's still going well."

Concerned about the changes in overseas markets, Li Ze also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Overseas companies are actually the same, and they will still be limited by the market itself."

Tang Pu deeply agrees: "Looking at it now, in fact, the capital market is sometimes more chaotic, and there is the simplest and rude way to solve it, throwing money, and throwing the other party loses their temper."

Xin Dai, who was born in public relations, also expressed a little emotion about this: "The capital market is more profit-oriented, and sometimes it is simpler. When it should be tough, it is tougher, but it is also very weak when it is weak."

He also said: "Facebook's stock price has been falling, but we have lost a little this time."

Li Ze smiled and shook his head: "Boss Xin is too worried. Now it seems that not only will we have no losses, but we will also gain a little. Facebook will come to beg us to sell his shares."

Cindy: "?"

Everyone is puzzled.

Li Ze didn't say any more.

Instead, he mentioned: "Forget about these things, let's tidy up, strike while the iron is hot, and put some things in place."

…………

At the same time, relevant news spread to the domestic network.

The whole network immediately went into an uproar.

Numerous related topics directly rushed to Xiaocheng's hot book list and Weibo hot search, and the popularity was the same for a while.

On this big night, it attracted the attention of countless night owls.

"Holy shit, Bo Lang is a bit domineering. He directly held a 5.1% stake in Facebook. It's right to directly overwhelm others with power."

"I still think Bolang's operation is awesome. The sales of Xinghai 1 overseas have always been very hot. Facebook and other social platforms deliberately choose not to develop corresponding versions. Bolang is disgusting. Now Bolang is also doing this. I can only say yes Well done."

"Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter, this is really laughable, the statement is so bright and upright, it's coaxing faster than anything else, and I even downloaded ecS, haha."

"It can only be said that Bolang did a good job, and Bolang is really rich. The market value of 5% of Facebook's shares is 60 billion U.S. dollars. This is cash."

"Don't you even think about the sales volume of Xinghai 1? In China, almost 2000 million units have been sold through one channel in the hot mall, with a sales volume of 800 billion, not to mention that the mobile version can be seen everywhere. How can there be a sales volume of over 200 billion? Yes, the overseas market has been snapped up all the time, so it’s worth [-] to [-] billion.”

"I understand why Bolang Terminal suddenly wanted to raise funds yesterday, the day before yesterday, and it was a terrifying astronomical figure. All the profits from the co-authored mobile phone purchase were invested in Facebook, and they used their power to overwhelm others. I have to say that Wen Liang's operation It’s so wild, it’s hard to guess.”

"I don't care so much, I just want to know if Xinghai 1 will sell more than iPhone 5 in overseas markets, then it will be a good show. You must know that Xinghai 1 is now the most expensive mass-produced smartphone in the world. Both expensive and Samsung S5!"

"I think this is also a good show to watch."

"..."

Domestic netizens are of course in a state of pride.

After all, such a refreshing thing looks exciting.

It belongs to the fact that the plot of the novel is brought into reality.

And it's a development that everyone has never imagined. It is estimated that only Wen Liang can have such a crazy style, and if you want to do it, you will kill it.

…………

Of course this matter is not over.

And of course there won't be immediate results.

The capitalists in the capital market also need to show some face. At most, they will make a statement that everyone can't understand. The serious operation will definitely not be too fast.

Neither the Facebook Stars version nor the Twitter Stars version will be launched immediately.

It would be nice to be online within a week.

And it is very likely that you will choose to go online in a low-key manner, or give a show speech, and then go online with a bang.

In short, Bolang will still be very busy.

A lot of things are pulled.

…………

…………

The next morning.

Just after Wen Liang had breakfast, he received a call from Lao Miaotou.

"Someone wants to thank you, Bo Lang, for your dedication."

"You did a great job last night. A simple operation silenced western social platforms. It's rare. Only you can make such an arrangement. Other companies...hehe."

The old Miaotou began to sneer and sneer as he spoke.

"Some of us, in addition to complaining or complaining, seem to be born without that ability, unable to do that thing."

"You guys, Bolang, have done a great job. You have opened up a lot of ideas. You don't complain or shirk, and you are just right!"

The old man chattered for two or three minutes, but Wen Liang didn't even get a chance to interject.

Wen Liang opened his mouth again to speak.

The voice of the old man came from the receiver again: "You have some losses, and everyone is aware of it. Don't worry about this matter. What belongs to you is yours. No one can erase or ignore it!"

"I think it's nonsense to think that it's big but not down, it's broad, it's a fact that it monopolizes and interferes in the industry. For a company like Bolang, the bigger the better, if you have the ability, you can make achievements that can't be matched by others!"

Wen Liang hurriedly interjected: "Mr. Miao...Grandpa Miao, why are you so angry this early in the morning? It's okay. The environment is just like this. Take your time."

"Bolang's momentum has already become, no one can touch it, and soon it will become a trillion-level super industrial-level company, which cannot be ignored."

"Besides, we have nothing to lose."

The old man was stunned: "No loss? Haven't you lost hundreds of millions of dollars investing in Facebook?"

"The market has market rules, and there are rules outside the market." Wen Liang explained calmly, "Facebook will take the initiative to buy the 5% shares from us, and will not let us hold it, nor will it Don’t dare to let us hit the market directly.”

"In the early hours of this morning, a middleman made peace with Mr. Ze."

"According to general market rules, our selling price will be 10% more than the highest price last night."

"America will not sit back and watch a company like us interfere with their social platform. Their awareness and investment in public opinion and communication is not a small amount, and they will not be destroyed so casually. This is also our platform promotion. The reason why the international version is very difficult is to bypass the North American market.”

Wen Liang's explanation was very detailed, the old Miao understood it as soon as he heard it, and slapped his thigh as soon as he understood it: "Oh, why didn't you say this earlier, it's a good deal to get cheap!"

"how?"

"I got you some...things."

"Oh?"

"The market value is about 30 billion yuan, but... meaning."

"Hahaha, thank you Grandpa Miao."
