‘Thanks’ to the bad current situation, Twitter CEO Williams had to rethink crisis public relations solutions.
Soon, Williams, together with the other two co-founders, initiated an executive meeting and expanded the meeting to include a shareholder meeting.
For a company that has begun preparations for listing, there are more or less capital institutions behind it.
Especially since this company is still in a capital world like America.
Williams' idea is not complicated. As a shareholder of Twitter, we have encountered some very difficult things. Is it okay for everyone to work together?
If you have the resources, it wouldn’t be a problem to provide some resources.
These are all routine operations.
It is unrealistic to just sit back and enjoy the gains.
After all, if I am the first to share the cake, and you are the first to do something, it will be difficult to survive in a capital market that is very focused on profit.
We are all in the same boat, and we all suffer.
After all, this is something no one wants to encounter.
In comparison, Twitter is at least not yet owned by the Eastern company on the other side of the ocean, so it's not that... uncomfortable.
"We have encountered a relatively difficult and cunning opponent. He does not abide by the market rules very much, but he also abides by the rules very much. He has created some troubles that none of us want to see. We hope they will be dealt with properly."
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 the wave is not comparable to ours. If it is done in the form of capital market, it will be difficult for us to resist it."
A shareholder who participated in the meeting by phone immediately said: "I don't attach much importance to the ownership of Twitter. 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 suddenly sank.
He is the founder of Twitter.
Most shareholders are not.
From a profit perspective, if Bolang is really willing to take over Twitter, it is not a bad choice. It can also push up Twitter's valuation and IPO in a more "perfect" state.
Even Williams himself thought deeply that this proposal was not unacceptable.
However, things will not and cannot develop like this.
Soon some shareholders scolded: "It's impossible for Polang to invest in Twitter, and it's impossible for Polang to acquire Facebook. Put your little thoughts away! Polang will only be an opponent!"
"why?"
"no why!"
Williams also explained aloud: "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 the wavers also know it."
As a result, the problem quickly became simpler.
"What if a Sta version is developed?"
"It can further expand Twitter's user base, but the disadvantage is that it will increase competition with Eastern social platforms, and it will also promote Sta Apps to form an application ecosystem and create competition for its enemies."
"anything else?"
"The Pentagon suspects that Sta may be a brand new system."
"Bullshit, let them doubt it!"
The final decision came much faster and easier than Williams imagined.
Twitter's initial stalemate in not developing a Stras version of the App can be understood as... the reserve of a globally influential social platform, as well as the hints and expressions of some relevant people.
Even the opinions of some shareholders.
Because of the sudden emergence of Sta and its popularity in overseas markets, both Google and Apple were a little embarrassed. Naturally, these two companies also made some simple responses.
Anyway, Bolang is a Chinese company, so the problem is not big.
No one needs to use some dirty tricks in business.
This is part of the factor.
Another factor is that before, Sta was just a system, or just a ROM, and large companies would not take the initiative to adapt.
Another factor is the explicit instructions from some messy departments in America, such as for safety reasons.
The last part of the factor is that Bolang promoted the overseas plan, single-handedly promoted three major comprehensive social platforms to enter overseas markets, and formed a direct competitive relationship with Twitter. If it cannot defeat its opponents, can it still disgust its opponents?
Combining so many factors, Twitter did not develop the Star version of the App.
In fact, Williams himself and the other two co-founders have no control over whether to launch a Sta version of Twitter.
But now they were so disgusted that they felt like they had eaten shit.
The same reason applies to Facebook.
There are even more reasons for Facebook. Because Facebook is large enough, Mark Zucker will not pay attention to such detailed matters at all. It is only put on his desk because of national relations.
And Mark Zucker doesn’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 they were not recognized by the regulatory authorities. Then he took up the banner of opposition and expressed this and that in public more than once.
As for the oil pipe.
The reason is even simpler. It is a subsidiary of Google. When Sta was promoted in overseas markets, it did not pay attention to Android. It only used iOS as a stepping stone.
And Google's GMS is so good and the revenue is so considerable, why should they give convenience to their competitors?
Wouldn't it be better to be unable to move even an inch?
That's how business is.
There doesn't have to be any grudges, just a simple reason like one ebbing and the other is enough.
However……
Now we can no longer play like we did before. Bolang suddenly resorted to capital methods, which was very aggressive and combined with the conventional beautiful scenery, it was very uncomfortable.
…………
Later, Facebook issued a relatively vague statement.
It probably means thanking all parties for their concern. Everything in the company is normal and we are exploring the new situation of social media.
Not a word about Bolang.
but.
There is... deliberately leaked news indicating that a small team at Facebook downloaded the eS (elip color Sta) integrated development environment (IDE).
There is no need to say more things.
Following this statement, Facebook's stock price dropped significantly, but the drop is not too ugly and is not expected to exceed 10%.
On Twitter, Williams personally walked out of the office and faced those aggressive liberal groups.
He delivered a rather beautiful speech.
Claiming that Twitter advocates freedom, supports freedom, and safeguards freedom.
Twitter has been pushing for related research and more.
The real meaning is similar to Facebook.
Twitter will also launch the Sta version.
Only in the end, the YouTube channel backed by Google didn’t say anything, and it still went its own way, but... this no longer affects the daily use of Hai1.
The reason is quite simple.
Even Facebook, which has a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars, can't hold it back. Other applications that are not so indispensable should be on Sta Apps.
What else can be done?
This is not something unacceptable.
The sales volume of SexHai1 is also good, and the hardware environment is also very friendly. Maybe it can increase some revenue or something.
………
"It went very smoothly."
Paying attention to the changes in overseas markets, Li Ze also breathed a sigh of relief.
"In fact, the same applies to overseas companies. They will still be limited by the market itself."
Tang Pu deeply agrees: "Now it seems that the capital market is actually more messy sometimes. There is the simplest and crudest way to solve it, just throw money at it until the other party loses their temper."
Xin Dai, who has a background in public relations, also expressed some emotion about this: "The capital market is more profit-oriented, and sometimes it is simpler. When it is time to be tough, it is tougher, but when it is weak, it is also very weak."
He added: "Facebook's stock price has been falling, and we have suffered a bit of a loss this time."
Li Ze smiled and shook his head: "Mr.
Xin Dai: "?"
Everyone is puzzled.
Li Ze said no more.
Then he said: "Let's forget about it for now. Let's sort it out, strike while the iron is hot, and put some things in place."
…………
At the same time, relevant news spread to domestic networks.
The whole network was immediately in an uproar.
Countless related topics directly hit the hot list of Xiaocheng Book and were searched on Weibo, and their popularity was as high as ever.
On this big night, it attracted the attention of countless night owls.
"Holy crap, Bolang is a bit domineering. He directly stepped on the horse and held 5.1% of Facebook's shares. He directly used his power to dominate others."
"I still think Bolang's operation is awesome. The sales of Xinghai 1 overseas have been very hot. Social platforms like Facebook deliberately did not develop corresponding versions. It's disgusting Bolang. Now Bolang has done this. I can only say that it is
Well done.”
"Hahaha! I'm laughing so hard. This is really hilarious. I made a great statement, but I'm scared faster than anything else. I even downloaded eS, haha."
"I can only say that Bolang did a great job, and Bolang is really rich. The market value of 5% of Facebook's shares is five to six billion US dollars. This is cash."
"Don't you think about the sales volume of Xinghai 1? In China, nearly 20 million units have been sold through one channel in the hot-selling mall alone, with sales of 70 to 80 billion. Not to mention the mobile version can be found everywhere. How come there are hundreds of billions?
The sales volume has reached 10 billion or 20 billion, and overseas markets have been snapped up."
"I finally understand why Bolang Terminal suddenly wanted to raise funds yesterday, and it was a terrifying astronomical figure. All the profits from buying a mobile phone together were used to invest in Facebook, overwhelming others. I have to say that Wen Liang's operation
It’s so wild and unimaginable that it’s hard to guess.”
"I don't care so much. I just want to know if the sales of Xinghai 1 will exceed that of iPhone5 in overseas markets. Then there will be a good show. You must know that Xinghai 1 is now the most expensive mass-produced smartphone in the world, more expensive than iPhone5."
It’s more expensive than Samsung S3!”
"I think this is quite a show."
"..."
Domestic netizens are certainly in a state of pride.
After all, this kind of exciting thing seems to be exciting.
The plot of the novel is reflected in reality.
Moreover, it is a development that no one has ever imagined. It is estimated that only Wen Liang can have such a crazy style. If he wants to do it, he will be killed.
…………
Of course this matter is not over yet.
Of course, the results will not be available immediately.
The capitalists in the capital market also want to save face. At most, they will make a statement that no one can understand. The serious operation will definitely not be too fast.
Neither the Facebook Sta version nor the Twitter Sta version will be launched immediately.
It would be great if it can be online within a week.
And it is very likely that they will choose to go online in a low-key manner, or give a show-like speech and then go online with a bang.
In short, Bolang will still be very busy.
Many things are pulled.
…………
…………
Early the next morning.
Wen Liang had just finished breakfast when he received a call from Lao Miaotou.
"Someone wants to thank you Bo Lang for your efforts."
"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... haha."
The old man became sarcastic as he spoke.
"Some of us, besides complaining, complain, as if we are born with no ability and cannot do that thing."
"Bo Lang did a great job. It opened up a lot of ideas. You didn't complain or shirk. You were just right!"
The old man had to talk for two or three minutes, and Wen Liang didn't even get a chance to interrupt.
Wen Liang opened his mouth again to speak.
The old man's voice came from the phone receiver again: "You have some losses, everyone sees it, don't worry about this matter, what is yours is yours, no one can erase it, ignore it!"
"I think it's nonsense to think that it's too big to fail, that it has a wide range of businesses, that it's a monopoly and interferes with the industry. For a company like Bolang, the bigger, the better. If you have the ability, you can achieve results that no one else can match!"
Wen Liang hurriedly interrupted: "Mr. Miao...Grandpa Miao, why are you so angry this early in the morning? You don't have to do it. The environment is like this. Just take your time."
"Bolang's momentum has been established. No one can touch it. It will soon become a trillion-level super industrial company that cannot be ignored."
"Besides, we didn't lose anything."
The old man was stunned for a moment: "No loss? Didn't you lose hundreds of millions of dollars by investing in Facebook?"
"The market has market rules, and there are also rules outside the market." Wen Liang explained calmly, "Facebook will take the initiative to buy these 5% shares from us, and will not let us hold them.
They don’t dare to let us hit the market directly.”
"In the early hours of this morning, an intermediary has already made peace with Mr. Ze."
"According to general market rules, the price we sell will be based on last night's highest price plus 10%."
"America will not sit back and watch a company like ours 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 that it still bypasses the North American market."
Wen Liang's explanation was very detailed, and the old man understood it as soon as he heard it. Once he understood it, he slapped his thigh: "Oh, why didn't you tell me this earlier? You are just being good and getting an advantage!"
"how?"
"I got some...things for you."
"oh?"
"The market value is about 3 billion yuan, but... it doesn't make sense."
