giants of the era

Chapter 465 Forced to transform (third update)

Tina Gates subsequently launched an acquisition offer to Page Game Workshop on behalf of Facebook, proposing a wholly-owned acquisition of the other party for US$3000 million.

Unexpectedly, this acquisition was extremely easy, but the other party stated that Page Game Workshop has the right to independently develop games.

Ever since, within three days, Facebook completed the acquisition of Page Game Workshop.

On the fourth day, Facebook and Page Game Workshop jointly held a press conference.

This time, William, Tina and the CEO of Page Game Workshop appeared at the press conference together.This is William and Tina's media debut as founders of Facebook Inc.

In William's view, Facebook has succeeded. He has proved his strength and can appear in front of the media.At this time, people only pay attention to Facebook, and no one pays attention to the FaceToFace website anymore.

On the morning of June 6th, everything was clean.

The entrance of Facebook's corporate headquarters is bustling.

And when William and Tina appeared at the press conference, everyone was amazed.

Everyone was flabbergasted when William walked on stage to introduce himself as the founder of Facebook.

"Chronos Li's son turned out to be the founder of Facebook????"

"Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs!"

At this moment, the flashing lights in the audience kept flashing. William smiled slightly, facing the camera, and said loudly: "Welcome everyone to come to Facebook's press conference. Today I will announce two things. The first thing is that Facebook denounced you. A huge sum of 3000 million U.S. dollars has fully acquired the game development company of "Happy Farm" Page Game Workshop!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was an uproar in the audience.Obviously, everyone was very surprised by Facebook's acquisition of Page Game Workshop, but at the same time, it is understandable that "Happy Farm" is so popular that it is of great help to Facebook.

William continued: "Everyone, please be quiet. The second thing I want to say is that starting today, Facebook no longer restricts whether registered users are college students or high school students. Facebook will be open to Internet users around the world!!!"

This news was even more shocking than the previous one.

Many people in the audience are engaged in the Internet industry, and they know very well what it means for Facebook to develop for global netizens!This means that the number of Facebook users will increase dramatically, and Facebook will also become one of the Internet giants!

……

……

Immediately after the Facebook press conference, the content of the press conference spread wildly on Weibo and Facebook.

Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of Internet users began to register Facebook accounts.

The stars have already felt the benefits of the Internet on Weibo, and now there is a very popular SNS social networking site, these stars are naturally scrambling to join.

"Happy Farm" is the most popular product on Facebook, and celebrities have started to play "Happy Farm" one after another.

Zhou Xingchi: "There was a time when a field of ripe vegetables was placed in front of me, but I didn't pick it up. I regretted it until it was stolen. There is nothing more painful in the world than this. If God can give me another chance, I will Say three words to the vegetable thief: 'Go to hell!'”

Jay Chou: "Oh, not bad, I stole a lot!"

……

Fans couldn't help being surprised to see so many celebrities having fun.

"Damn it, the stars really know how to play!!!"

"Hehe, I'll steal their food at night!"

……

At this moment, Mark Zuckerberg was very sad and helpless. When he started his business, he met the son of Chronos Li, and he was really unlucky! The failure of FaceToFace is not a crime of war, but the competitors are too powerful!

"Zuckerberg, I'm afraid FaceToFace won't be able to continue its business, so think about transformation!" After a while, an executive director of DFJ called and said.

"Transformation? How to transform?" Mark Zuckerberg felt bitter.

But right now, it seems that there is only one way to go, otherwise, FaceToFace will definitely go bankrupt if it continues to develop like this!

After thinking all night, Mark Zuckerberg still didn't come up with any good ideas. He turned on the computer, browsed the news boringly, and tried to find some inspiration.

"Skype VoIP?!"

Suddenly, Mark Zuckerberg thought of an idea, his eyes burst into a strange look, and he murmured: "Perhaps this idea can work!!! functions, such as video chat, multi-person voice conference, multi-person chat, file transfer, text chat, etc. It can also have high-definition voice conversations with other users, and can also make domestic and international calls, regardless of landlines or mobile phones. dial, and functions such as call forwarding and SMS sending can be realized!!!”

Mark Zuckerberg suddenly became excited, and quickly called Norman Virginia, CEO of DFJ.

"Oh, damn it, it's only 4:1 in the morning, Mark Zuckerberg, you better have good news for me!" Norman Virginia cursed, FaceToFace failed, and Norman Virginia will be more than half All the blame for it was put on Mark Zuckerberg, and he was very dissatisfied with him.

Mark Zuckerberg doesn't care about Norman Virginia's attitude, as long as DFJ can continue to invest in FaceToFace.

"Mr. Virginia, I think about how FaceToFace should be transformed!"

When Norman Virginia heard this, his spirit was shaken, his sleepiness was half gone, and he quickly asked, "How do I transform?!"

"FaceToFace can be transformed into video and voice VoIP software..." Mark Zuckerberg immediately began to introduce the development direction of transformation to Norman Virginia in detail.

After listening to it, Norman Virginia pondered carefully for a while, and finally said: "Okay! Then I will give you another chance, and I will persuade the board of directors of DFJ to continue to support FaceToFace!"

Mark Zuckerberg was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Virginia, then I will hang up the phone and not disturb your sleep and rest!"

"Ah."

……

Li Zetian didn't know that FaceToFace had decided to transform into a product similar to Skype, which would make Li Zetian very depressed.As Michael Powell, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission of the United States, said, "When I downloaded Skype, I realized that the era of traditional communication is over. You use it to talk to anyone for free, and the call quality is very good. The era of traditional communication is over." It's over. The world will inevitably change."

And the Sprint telecommunications company under the name of Li Zetian is just the representative of the "traditional communication era", making money by collecting phone bills!
But no matter what, Internet telephony is the general trend. In the future, many people will use data to send voice and video, which will cause countless telecommunications companies to decline in revenue and suffer heavy losses. Sprint can only adapt to the development of the times and make adjustments.

The duel between Facebook and FaceToFace is basically settled, and Li Zetian is also relieved a lot, after all, Facebook is still very important.

At the end of this month, "World of Warcraft" was officially released in China.

Ma Huateng called to tell Li Zetian, but at the same time came a bad news.

PS: Today there are three updates, one update is owed, and tomorrow, um, there will be a big explosion~~~
