Chapter 462 Father's Love Is Like a Mountain (Second Change)

More than a month later, after a series of operations by Li Zetian, Weibo became popular in the United States, and it is also very popular in other countries.Weibo has become a phenomenal product on the Internet. It seems that if netizens do not use Weibo, it means they are falling behind.

At this time, Facebook also rose very quickly, developed to major colleges and universities across the United States, and won the likes and support of many people, and the number of registered users exceeded 100 million.It's just that Facebook's achievements seem a bit eclipsed in front of Weibo, so it has not attracted the attention of the media.

However, Sequoia Capital is still very concerned about Facebook, because last time William mentioned that there will be a financing in June, Sequoia Capital will have the opportunity to invest in Facebook, so naturally it is very concerned about its development.

Paul said: "The two most popular websites in March are undoubtedly Weibo and Facebook! It's just that Weibo is too dazzling, covering up Facebook. In addition, Facebook does not allow people outside the university to register users, so it is not very attractive. Notice."

"It's almost the end of March, and the number of Weibo users has exceeded 3 million, which is really terrifying!" Another executive director of Sequoia Capital exclaimed, "I suspect that by the end of this year, the number of Weibo users may exceed 2800 million. !"

Paul nodded and said, "I think so too, but Chronos Li probably won't give us the opportunity to invest in Weibo, so we'll still focus on Facebook!"

"Paul, have you heard that the DFJ people are approaching Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard University."

"I've heard that, but Facebook is developing better at the moment, and Facebook has a strong background, and the possibility of success in the future is greater, so I think we still invest a huge amount of money in Facebook, and we will definitely gain a lot in the future!"

……

Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Lee's mansion.

Li Zetian was much more relaxed at this time, Weibo was already on the right track, and almost formed a monopoly, so there was no need for Li Zetian to worry.In the previous life, there was a lot of competition on Weibo. In China alone, there were Sina Weibo, Tencent Weibo, Netease Weibo, Sohu Weibo, etc. Everyone thought that Weibo was popular and popular, so they crowded in. In the end, the squeeze was broken, and only Sina Weibo succeeded.

The first-mover advantage of Internet products should not be underestimated. Sina Weibo was the first in China. After forming a certain scale, even if it is as strong as Tencent, it will eventually lose to Sina Weibo.

Today, Li Zetian has mastered Weibo, which means he has the right to speak in new media. You can see how important Weibo is when George W. Bush registers for Weibo in order to run for the US President.

In the future, when Facebook develops, the power of new media controlled by Li Zetian's family will be terrifying, and their social status and influence will be further improved.

"William, how do you kill your competitor? I heard that DFJ plans to invest in Mark Zuckerberg!" Li Zetian said.

"On the one hand, I plan to launch more new products to attract users, and on the other hand, I plan to speed up the expansion and win smaller universities and colleges in the United States and Canada, as well as major European universities. As long as those famous universities in Europe take the lead in using Facebook, then European The average colleges in the U.S. are using Facebook! Also," William said after a moment's thought, "I'm going to launch a high school version of Facebook in a while!"

"Well, it is logical to expand from university to high school, and those college students will not have too much resistance, they just came from high school." Li Zetian nodded and said, "However, you said that more new products will be launched. What new products are there to attract users?"

William smiled and said, "Dad, that... Isn't Weibo very popular recently, so... Hehe, you understand!"

Li Zetian was stunned for a moment, and was speechless for a moment.

William laughed dryly: "Don't worry, Dad, it's not a complete plagiarism! I want to add tags, embed pictures, comments to Weibo and blog services in the Facebook Notepad function, and users can import from other Weibo and blog services. .In addition, Facebook has partnered with Apple's iTunes to provide users with free music single downloads!"

Hearing this, Li Zetian nodded in satisfaction, "Well, your idea is really good!"

Then he said: However, you develop application software yourself, after all, your energy is limited. Facebook could roll out an application programming interface (API).Through this API, third-party software developers can develop applications that run on the Facebook website. "

Speaking of this, Li Zetian intentionally paused to let William think for a while, and then said: "This is called the Facebook open platform! If third-party software developers develop application software for Facebook, there will naturally be more software on Facebook. Among them, there will definitely be many excellent software to attract users.”

William's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again: "That's right, Dad, you're still right!!!"

Li Zetian smiled: "Hehe, otherwise why do people often say that Jiang is still old and hot! You are still too young and need to exercise!"

William rubbed the back of his head, smiled, then stood up from the sofa, and said goodbye: "Dad, what you said just now is on my mind! I have to go to the company immediately!"

"Okay, let's go." Li Zetian nodded, looking at the back of William leaving, Li Zetian murmured, "After Facebook launches the application programming interface (API), I will let people develop the game "Happy Farm". Or Plants vs. Zombies again..."

Father's love is like a mountain, so Li Zetian naturally felt sorry for William, so he decided to quietly help him develop the phenomenon-level web game that was popular all over the world in his previous life, so he also took the opportunity to propose Facebook's application programming interface before.

Afterwards, Li Zetian returned to the study, turned on the computer, and began to write the game plan.

That night, Li Zetian finished writing both "Happy Farm" and "Plants vs. Zombies", but he didn't plan to launch two games at once, but launched "Happy Farm" first, and waited for the popularity of "Happy Farm" to pass. Then launched "Plants vs Zombies".

The next day, Li Zetian called Selena over and asked her to register an overseas offshore company and then form a game development team.

"This is a web game I designed for Facebook, but I don't want William to know." Li Zetian said.

"I understand!" Selina nodded.

"Well, when the new company is established, you should hurry up and get someone to develop "Happy Farm" first!"

"Yes!" Selena replied, taking the file.

Selena returned to her desk and opened the file curiously to see what kind of game "Happy Farm" was. After all, it was a game designed by the world's most talented game designer!
After a few minutes, Selena finished reading the document, and she was shocked~~
