Chapter 375 Arching the fire and killing monkeys to scare chickens
Since Xiaocheng Book, QQ, and the international version of Weibo have made great efforts in overseas markets, overseas information dissemination has become even more intensive.
Almost as soon as the news came out on overseas social platforms, there was discussion on domestic social platforms.
It is a time when the whole country is not busy and just wants to have fun. It is very busy.
What's even more interesting is the overseas network. It seems that for a moment, everyone no longer has to go to work or care about other things, and all the discussions revolve around sex.
Most areas are still working during the day!
"When will the next batch of sales areas for Sex Hai1 be released? I've been waiting for a long time! If it doesn't open up, I'm going to buy an iPhone 5!"
"Go, go, go. If you buy an iPhone 5, there will be one less person to compete with me. The production capacity will seriously fall behind. Alas, it will take too long."
"I hope Lang Devie can open a prepayment channel and ensure that I can get the machine."
"I also hope that there will be a prepayment channel, preferably an official website, where you can prepay for purchases and know the exact arrival time. The current reservation method is a little looser."
realGodMagi: “I don’t think there’s anything good about it, so I just bought six of them and used them interchangeably. So, exclusive mobile games are just like that. The control experience is the same as that of PC games. The most surprising places are probably Twitter and Facebook.
It’s not supported by YouTube, which saves you a lot of troubles caused by bad writing.”
RealGM~ On the overseas network, in addition to fanning, it uses any kind of chicken rhythm.
It just so happens that there are still a group of extreme fans who play dirty.
It quickly became popular on overseas networks.
Twitter is the first to be visited.
Xiaori: "What kind of thing is a small website? If the Sta version is not launched, I will never use it again. Anyway, there is no substitute."
Then Xiao Xiba made a sarcastic comment inexplicably: "I really don't know why Xiaori was placed in the first batch of sales areas, so he should be treated the same as Ami."
Ami: "Pay attention to the wording you use. I can use it even if it's not sold here. It doesn't matter what kind of hot chicken Twitter you use!"
Ah San: "Don't just say, if you have the ability, tweet on Twitter, it's just a small company with alternatives!"
Monkey: "That's right."
To be honest, Wen Liang was stunned when he saw this development.
He really hasn't started to fire or fan.
Wen Liang shook his head and said with a sigh on his face: "When did the overseas Internet become so impetuous? Are you so irritable at all times?"
"This is very good, I like it."
It was already late at night, and Su Jian, who was sitting next to Wen Liang, answered: "It saves trouble, right?"
"Yeah." Wen Liang nodded happily, "After all, I always have to work overtime at night, so it's not a problem. It would be great if there was that kind of atmosphere."
Su Jian smiled: "Indeed."
Then she followed up by posting some exciting content, and she still knew how to follow the rhythm.
Anyway, in fact, except for Wen Liang who obviously voluntarily works overtime so that he can be unscrupulous on the overseas network and relieve his surprise, a professional communication team has already been equipped.
Through the introduction of Chen Jiaxin, several communication figures with considerable level joined Peixuan and led the establishment of the Overseas Internet Marketing Market Analysis Department.
The atmosphere on overseas networks, especially range, Xiaocheng Book, Weibo, and QQ International Edition, has become what it is today, which is inseparable from the unremitting efforts of this team.
Wen Liang has never paid attention to communication, but he will pay more attention to the construction of communication platforms. After all, the expansion and coverage of the platform mean how far the sound can be spread.
After all, the competitive relationship between Bolang and those powerful companies in overseas markets will continue, even until either a new era of disruption appears, or a new technological innovation occurs, and the journey of mankind becomes beyond the earth.
…………
Compared with classmate Wen Liang who works overtime at home, Li Zeze is always a little bit "harder". He works overtime at the company seriously.
no way.
Today is the time when the second batch of Sex Hai1 is officially released, and the show still needs to be sung well.
As usual, it's in the collaborative office center.
During the prime sales cycle of Xinghai 1, it is impossible to demolish this office center. After all, Xinghai 1 is the entrance that can best carry all the business of Bolang Group.
It is also the foundation that brings the infinite future of Bolang and Bolang Terminal.
The perfect opening has been achieved, so naturally it should end perfectly and hand over to the next one.
A lot of real-time information was summarized and sorted by each person, and then the important parts were extracted and reported to different people in turn. The most critical part was summarized here by Li Ze.
"Mr. Ze, Ami's atmosphere is good today. Twitter is under greater pressure and should be blocked again."
Li Ze made a gesture: "Let me take a look."
After reading the latest progress, Li Ze took out a plan without much hesitation, revised it, and arranged it: "Start the first round of official personal developer benefits of Sta Apps."
“Let the relevant teams build some momentum.”
After making arrangements, Li Ze called Chen Jiaxin, Tang Pu and others together.
In the past January, the collaborative office center was not very busy. The main pressure was taken away by Wen Liang's trip to Beijing. They, the senior executives, have not taken shifts for a long time, but today it is rare that they are all here. Xin Dai, Zhong Zhengye, and Zhou Hongming
They are all here too.
A few people gathered together. Li Ze didn't hesitate and got straight to the point: "I just took a look and found that the atmosphere today is good. I think we can try to see if we can open up some breakthroughs. What do you think?"
"I think there is no problem." Zhong Zhengye answered first, "I also observed before returning to China that the atmosphere in America is good now, which is more conducive to us."
Tang Pu also expressed his position: "It doesn't matter if we try it. If we delay it any longer, it will be the Chinese New Year. It doesn't really matter whether it works or not. We mainly want to show that we treat users in overseas markets equally."
"I have no opinion."
"No comment."
"No comment."
Chen Jiaxin and Xin Dai also approved Li Ze's proposal.
Li Ze didn't hesitate and decided directly: "Then apply for full financial intervention. It won't be a big problem if we just have some fun."
Soon, Li Ze contacted Wang Wanyu directly and briefly expressed his views.
Wang Wanyu has no objection.
There is no need to ask Wen Liang for advice.
This matter is actually a bit long story.
The original reason was, of course, that Wen Liang was very dissatisfied with several platforms in overseas markets that dared not cooperate with the promotion of Sta and did not develop Sta version software!
In Wen Liang's opinion, things were too simple.
For example, if YouTube didn't have Google behind it, it would be nothing. It doesn't even have 1 billion users. How can it be so embarrassing?
The important thing is that Google is very cautious about the commercialization of YouTube, so in fact, YouTube has been losing money and making money since it was acquired by Google.
The real turning point for the commercialization of oil pipelines will come 15 years later.
Twitter, for example, is extremely small. According to incomplete statistics from a third party, the number of Twitter users does not exceed 600 million.
According to incomplete market statistics, Twitter’s market valuation is around US$10 billion.
In fact, Twitter is indeed not very valuable. A few months later, Twitter was listed at an issue price of US$26, which gave it a market value of more than US$14 billion.
However, the opening price later reached as high as 45.1 US dollars, and then the market value exceeded 30 billion US dollars, but that was only a temporary glory.
In 2022, Twitter’s market capitalization was still only over 30 billion US dollars.
If we calculate it based on simple market value, these two gadgets are just trivial. Are they worthy of competing with Bolang?
Even Facebook, the most popular company, is just like that. Its market value is more than 100 billion US dollars, and the valuation of a Bolang terminal owned by Bolang is that much.
Such an analysis.
Wen Liang had some ideas. YouTube was a subsidiary of Google, so it was not easy to move him. Twitter was not listed, so it was not easy to move. Naturally, the only one left was Facebook, which has a market value of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars.
Then Wen Liang made arrangements.
Buy Facebook shares in a low-key manner in the U.S. stock market.
How to put it this way, this is part of the reason why Bolang Terminal’s domestic market revenue exceeded 100 billion in two months, but the actual hardware cost was only 60 billion, but it was still short of money.
The revenue of more than 20 billion yuan from overseas markets was not taken back, and Facebook stocks were purchased directly.
The cost of those revenues has already been paid by Bolang.
Not only that, Bolang also used a large portion of the sales profits of Xinghai 1 to purchase Facebook shares.
As of today, the total investment amount converted into RMB has reached 32 billion!
Overall, this is a very crazy decision.
However, in terms of actual economic benefits, it is not particularly crazy.
Because... Bolang has done an act of 'charity' this time. A few days ago, he asked the old man to say hello to a few gentle grandfathers and make some empty orders on Facebook. At most, Bolang will lose a little~
As for why Bolang himself and the asset management company did not go short, it was because... there was really not enough money, and it was very likely that the U.S. stock market would overturn the situation.
But if you buy it alone, you can still do it.
As for how crazy it will be in the end, it depends on what the players in the capital market do.
Anyway, Wen Liang must open a gap.
What he is betting on is that the capital market cannot see a company worth more than 100 billion U.S. dollars worthless. Anyway, a small loss is not a loss, and it can always be earned back in the future.
When investing, you need to have a long-term mentality.
…………
As a result, amid the intense trading in the U.S. stock market, an institution suddenly invested nearly US$400 million in substantial purchases of Facebook shares.
Facebook's stock price has fluctuated slightly in a short period of time.
Just as Wall Street was wondering what was going on.
Bolang stood up and claimed responsibility for this matter... No, Bolang raised its flag and announced that it holds 5.1% of Facebook's issued share capital.
According to Facebook's real-time market value, this shareholding is worth as much as RMB 35.2 billion.
The total investment of Bolang is approximately RMB 33.9 billion.
The relevant team in charge of Wang Wanyu can still perform operations such as low-level accumulation.
The elites on Wall Street were dumbfounded when they saw the very conspicuous English letter "BOL" in their Facebook profile.
"Wtf? Wave? What happened? How could it hold so much at 5.1%?"
"Hou Li Crab, what are you doing?"
"Crazy! Crazy! So crazy!"
"What exactly is this Chinese company going to do? How can it have such a wide range of business? SexHai1? Xiaochengshu? fxxk! The wolf is coming!"
There is no doubt that Bolang's move attracted the attention of the world.
It was much more sensational than the Xing Hai1 knocking down the iPhone 5.
Of course, Bolang did not miss the opportunity to become the global focus. It quickly published an announcement on its official website and spread it simultaneously through overseas social platforms in real time.
The main idea is: "In order to provide a better experience for Xinghai mobile phone users around the world, considering that Facebook has not launched the Xingchen version of the App, our company has decided to solve the user experience problem through more direct means."
Not very complicated.
But it shocked the world.
Let alone others, Mark Zucker, who can act like a robot in various public places, is also a bit stupid.
"Shit!!! How can such a company exist?"
“Are we going to acquire Facebook?”
Interestingly, almost all listed companies on the stock market have a tender offer regulation, which means that after a company is listed, it can make a forced tender offer regardless of supervision.
A shareholding ratio of 5% is an offer line. At this time, you can continue to increase your holdings until a mandatory offer is triggered.
Bolang's official announcement is actually ambiguous.
It just means that we need to solve the user experience problem through more direct means.
However, combined with the proportion of Facebook shares held by Bolang, the meaning is worth pondering.
The overseas Internet was almost instantly occupied by discussions on this topic.
Xiaori: "This time I am standing by Bolang. Although this is a way I have not imagined, it is really great. I like this kind of company and spare no effort to solve the user experience."
Ah San: "I declare my unconditional support for Bolang. I even hope that Bolang will directly acquire Facebook. That would be a more wonderful scene."
Monkey: "This is an unexpected way, great! We need companies like this that are desperate to solve the problem of user experience!"
Xiao Xiba: "@阿美, brother, what do you think?"
Xiao Xiba is still holding his breath.
Ami: "..."
At this moment, Facebook is really in a dilemma.
The same goes for Wall Street elites.
The leeks are naturally vacillating.
The reaction in the market is... Facebook's stock price has been jumping sideways repeatedly, and its trading volume has skyrocketed nearly ten times!
At the same time, the door to Twitter was blocked by America's beautiful scenery.
“Why has Sta Apps released so many benefits, but Twitter hasn’t launched the Sta version yet?”
“We want freedom of Twitter!”
"Sta version launched!"
"Give us the freedom to use Twitter! We want freedom!"
"free!"
"..."
Williams, the founder and CEO of Twitter, looked at the scene outside the office and felt more uncomfortable than eating shit.
He couldn't understand how uncomfortable Facebook was.
But he realized how uncomfortable it was for the smallest Twitter to be caught in this situation.
Williams said angrily in the office: "fxxk! Isn't this vicious competition? There has never been such a company that forces us to develop a corresponding version! The method is so bad!"
"The insidious villain who hides behind his back and dare not show his face!"
At this time, both Williams and the other two founders of Twitter probably understood another model of the ancient Chinese idiom "kill the chicken to scare the monkey", killing the monkey to scare the chicken -
