Chapter 899 Its time to speed up the pace(1/2)
Nova said that Wang Ye went to Crimea for work, which was not a lie.
Because Wang Ye will definitely discuss the affairs of Crimea Investment Company with Ajielina to understand the development of Crimea in the past year.
He will also meet with the "nominal president" of Crimea to reassure him.
Oh, and we also need to discuss the laws and law enforcement in Crimea with Natalia, after all Natalia is the chief prosecutor!
It can be said that the schedule is full.
But Nova will definitely not tell the relationship between her boss and her sister on Facebook, let alone say that she is actually the boss’s sister-in-law...
Even who her boss is, Nova has not revealed on the Internet.
She still understands the basic principles of confidentiality, and she acts in a more measured manner.
Wang Ye doesn’t even know that Nova is now a small “Internet celebrity” with hundreds of thousands of fans on Facebook!
She is very beautiful in person. Although she is wearing sunglasses in the photos showing her face, it can still be seen that she has a good appearance and a curvy figure.
In addition, she often inadvertently shows off her top-notch cosmetics, Volto mobile phones, Patek Philippe watches, high-end luxury clothing, Porsche sports cars, high-end apartments in the center of Moscow, etc...
If it were just these, there might not be that many fans. After all, there are many people showing off their wealth on Facebook.
Some young masters and ladies from oligarchs' families live an extravagant life, but Nova and these are really nothing.
But Nova also has her own uniqueness, that is, she also has the status of a "highly educated elite" and a "financial expert".
Occasionally, he will comment on national policies, economic situation, etc., and also give his "own" predictions on less sensitive issues.
The results were very accurate several times, especially when the government budget was submitted to the Duma at the end of last year. At that time, this topic was also a hot topic on Facebook. Many people would make a few comments, but the mainstream opinion was supportive.
.
Because when Kasyanov was the governor-general, the government's fiscal policy was known for being prudent and conservative.
That is to say, under this style of policy, government revenue has increased year after year and debt has continued to decrease. Most people still have a very high evaluation of Kasyanov.
But Nova commented at the time that the government's fiscal budget was too conservative, and it was expected that Deputy Speaker Mikhail, who leads the economic work in the Duma, would give more radical suggestions, that is, to significantly increase the fiscal budget.
At that time, Nova didn't have many fans, less than 10,000.
However, her comments caused a small stir on Facebook. Many people disagreed with her and thought it was complete nonsense.
Not to mention that the government under Kasyanov has always been in this style, and there is no precedent for the Duma to reject the government budget plan, let alone the Duma to lead the government budget for the new year.
But what happened next took everyone by surprise.
Because the Duma really pushed back the fiscal budget submitted by the government, and really put forward a plan that everyone thought was extremely radical, significantly increasing budget expenditures!
He also launched a well-known “big fund” plan!
This also allowed Nova to "become famous" and distinguish her from the second-generation rich people on Facebook who only show off their wealth.
The number of fans began to skyrocket, and now there are hundreds of thousands of fans.
Don’t think this number is low, remember that it was 2004, and it was on the Russian Internet!
Fans are all real "living people", there are no so-called zombie fans...
…………
Nova's new Facebook content has just been posted. After refreshing the page, many fans have already left her messages.
"Wow! Is this on a plane? Which airline has such a luxurious plane? Is this the legendary first class cabin?"
"The guy above doesn't know. Although the first class cabin is good, it can't be compared with this one. This is a private jet!"
"Tsk, tsk, I asked you why Nova is so powerful and knows so much. It turns out she really works next to the big boss."
"Guess which oligarch is Nova's boss? I'll go first. Could it be Kovchenko?"...
As expected by Nova, the extravagant decoration inside the private jet immediately attracted the attention of many people, and everyone was talking about it.
As for people guessing who her boss is, Nova never answered.
Although the name she uses online is Nova, you should know that this is just a short name and cannot be counted as her real name.
Besides, in countries like Big Hair, Twenty and Thirty Hair, a girl named Nova must have three million if not five million...
Nova was snickering while reading the comments, when Wang Ye's voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
"What are you looking at? You are smiling from ear to ear."
Nova was startled, and she quickly raised her head, only to see Wang Ye stretching his head to look at her computer screen.
It's too late to close the laptop now, and wouldn't it make you feel guilty to do so...
She could only smile awkwardly and said: "Ah...Boss, I am scrolling through Facebook."
Wang Ye did not ask what content she was looking at, but asked Nova enthusiastically: "I looked at the report submitted by Facebook, and the business growth rate this year is very fast. And it has also been implemented in Europe and the United States.
A branch has been established. But just looking at the data is not enough. I usually don’t have much time to surf the Internet. You young girls surf the Internet more. So tell me, what is the actual situation of Facebook now? It is really popular among young people.
Do you like it?"
Facebook was a company that Wang Ye invested casually, and the founder of the company was his roommate who was a tech nerd at Mo University.
However, without Wang Ye’s first investment and subsequent financial support, Facebook would never have grown so fast.
According to Facebook’s latest round of financing, the company’s valuation has reached as high as $1.2 billion!
To be honest, this valuation has almost caught up with the original market value of two established Internet companies, MAIL.RU and YANDEX.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, those two companies have been acquired and merged, and are now the well-deserved giants on the Russian Internet!
The valuation is not comparable to that of an emerging company like Facebook.
Moreover, now that the global Internet winter has passed, there are signs of recovery.
Wang Ye plans to let his two companies (M&Y, Facebook) prepare to be listed on Nasdaq.
After all, these days, the world's capital is basically concentrated in the American stock market. If you want to raise funds, the best market is of course the American stock market, bar none!
Relying on the near-monopoly position of M&Y and Facebook on the Russian Internet, a large number of users, and a bright future, they should be able to make a lot of money through listing!
It would be great to use this money to expand the company's scale or even make other investments...
Nova secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Wang Ye asked about business instead of continuing to pay attention to her Facebook content.
If her boss really saw the content she posted, she would feel quite embarrassed...
Because the things she showed off were really not worth mentioning to Wang Ye.
After thinking carefully and organizing the language in her mind, Nova answered: "Facebook is indeed very popular among young people, especially on the Russian Internet. Now young people like me can go online
When I turn on my computer, I basically do two things first, open ICQ and Facebook, and then I go to read the news, check emails, search for information and so on.”
Wang Ye asked with great interest: "So what do you think is the difference between ICQ and Facebook?"
Nova said seriously:
"It's a big difference. ICQ is full of people you know, friends, classmates, and colleagues, and it's one-to-one communication.
But most of the people on Facebook are strangers, and the things they post are not specifically targeted at a certain person or group of people. They may just be some of their own insights, comments on something, someone, a news, or even a social hot topic.
The biggest difference between it and ICQ, I think, is that a message posted on Facebook may be seen by hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of people immediately.
But whoever you send a message on ICQ can only see it."
Wang Ye continued to ask: "Which one do you prefer? If you were asked to give up one of them, what would you give up?"
Nova frowned and thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "In comparison, ICQ is more like a simple chat tool, just like a mobile phone. You can't say whether you like it or not, but it is indispensable.
Facebook is much more interesting, and I spend more time on Facebook than on ICQ.
But if you really have to give up one, you may end up giving up on ICQ.
Because if I don’t use ICQ, I can still use MSN and make direct calls.
But if Facebook is abandoned, the photos and other things that have been accumulated for so long will be gone, and many interesting new friends that I follow will not be found..."
This answer surprised Wang Ye a little.
He originally thought that Nova would abandon Facebook. After all, ICQ was a communication tool and was just needed.
Facebook is more... a bit of entertainment, and also has the shadow of self-media, which is not a rigid need.
But if you think about it carefully, Nova's choice makes sense.
In the final analysis, this kind of "abandonment" problem ultimately considers which abandonment cost is greater.
Although ICQ has become popular all over the world, there are many competitors, and most Internet users at that time had just entered the Internet and had not yet developed dependence on communication software such as ICQ.
As Nova said, without ICQ and MSN, you can still make calls and send text messages directly!
Therefore, the cost of abandoning ICQ is not high and is something Nova can afford.
But Facebook is different. Although this product is more entertainment-oriented, Nova has put a lot of effort into it.
She takes photos and writes "little compositions", and the fans she has accumulated over a long period of time are even more difficult for her to give up.
Therefore, if she wanted to give up Facebook, she felt that the price was a bit high...
