Neither Zheng Ge nor Xi Meng expected that the Penguin Group would quietly imitate Friends Network and hold a school girl selection event at this time.
Zheng Ge recalled it. In his previous life, there seemed to be a selection of school leaders?
Can't remember clearly.
"What exactly happened?"
Xi Meng stood up and said seriously.
"According to the investigation, in fact, the Penguin Group started planning the school beauty selection event shortly after it was launched on our friend website. Now there has been overwhelming publicity outside. This is something that the Penguin Group has been planning for a long time. This is a job that has just been announced
Compiled information about the school grassroots selection."
The secretary took out a piece of information and showed just the right amount of anger on his face.
Ximeng was speechless.
He took the information, asked the secretary to go out, and looked at Zheng Ge.
"What do you think?"
Zheng Ge laughed.
"I... don't know, but the popularity of the school beauty selection is phenomenal and cannot be surpassed."
Simon frowned.
Hearing this, Zheng Ge laughed and said: "Little Meng! If you have any ideas, don't hide them. You are a girl and you have been the general manager for so long. Can you not see the potential of the school grassroots selection event?"
Simon blushed a little.
What should she say?
You say that all girls are good-looking? Do they all like handsome guys?
Are you saying that the selection of school leaders is bound to be popular?
"I know even if you don't tell me, women, especially young women under the age of 20, are basically obsessed with appearance. Women of this age are more crazy than boys. Although the ratio of men to women in our country is more men than women,
But one woman can stand up to several men." Zheng Ge smiled.
Ximeng blinked. Anyway, she didn't admit that she was a beauty-obsessed person.
She thinks Zheng Ge is quite handsome.
"What do we do now?"
Simon asked.
"What should I do? Let's have it cold!" Zheng Ge flipped through the information and said helplessly: "Internet patents are not perfect. If we really pursue them, it will not only be time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it will also be of no benefit."
Zheng Ge shook his head and said.
"Then forget it?" Ximeng was speechless.
Last time TT imitated Happy Farm and created a TT fishery.
This time the penguins are here again.
Do you really think friends are easy to bully?
But Zheng Ge is right. In the Internet industry, you copy me, and I copy you. As long as you don’t blatantly violate Internet patents, no one can do anything about it.
"Let's contact Penguin Group and see what they say. We have a basis for cooperation with Penguin Group. If we can talk about it, let's talk about it first. If we can use this matter to talk about it for our Weibo, we need some
The promotion resources are also quite good.”
Zheng Ge narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"That's all we can do for now."
Simon nodded.
"Okay, the company's next key development direction is Weibo and Chat. To be honest, the main website of Friends.com has limited potential."
Zheng Ge sighed.
He couldn't remember other aspects clearly, but he knew that social platforms such as Renren and 51. in his previous life were almost completely gone.
On the contrary, Weibo is unique, with a market value of US$15 billion.
“Is the potential of Friends Network limited?”
Ximeng was a little confused. The friend network is developing very rapidly now!
The number of registered users every day is increasing at a rate of millions.
"Once Weibo develops, it will definitely affect friends.com."
Zheng Ge said: "If you do some research, you will find that if it were not for the social characteristics of Friends Network, the traffic of circles (Weibo) would probably have surpassed Friends Network."
After Xi Meng heard this, he thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case.
At least the number of clicks and visits is sometimes higher than the main website of Friends.com.
…
Penguin Space spread publicity in major universities across the country and held a high-profile "National Universities: Large-Scale School Grassroots Selection Event" which shocked the entire Internet. Not only did it shock friends, but also the majority of netizens and people in the industry were speechless.
No one expected that the selection of the most beautiful school beauties on Friends.com had just ended, and Penguin Group would launch such a copycat-style selection of school beauties.
This made many colleagues think.
Friends.com held a school beauty contest, which became popular across the country.
Penguin followed suit and held a school grassroots selection. Judging from the current situation, it is also a popular trend.
What about yourself?
Is it possible to follow suit and hold a similar event?
The Space Operations Department of the TT Group, headed by the group, while criticizing the Penguin Group and calling it immoral plagiarism, held a meeting to study how to hold a similar event.
But there are already school beauties and school idols, so what should they do?
For a time, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet.
Some criticized it, thinking that Penguin Group was plagiarizing Friends.com.
There is also support.
Two of the supporters are still school stars.
He has already become famous even before he graduates.
Their fan base was huge, and the whole Internet was quarreling for a while.
…
"Brother Zheng, Manager Jiao Wenbo wants to talk to you."
At the Friends Network Company, Xi Meng covered the phone’s microphone and said to Zheng Ge.
She had just dialed Jiao Wenbo's phone to ask for an explanation on the selection of school leaders.
As a result, Jiao Wenbo made a fuss and tried to get over it.
After chatting for a few words, he asked to speak to Zheng Ge.
Zheng Ge took the phone and said in a bad tone: "Hey! Manager Jiao! Penguin Group is a mighty Internet giant, but what it did this time is a bit inconsistent with the status of a giant!"
"Haha! Mr. Zheng! The election of the school president is a brand new event. It is the first time in the world. We did not do anything wrong! Otherwise, the patent department would not let us go."
Jiao Wenbo laughed and said, even if the whole world knew that he was wrong about this kind of thing, he couldn't take the initiative to admit his mistake. Otherwise, if word spread, the school's first choice would be ruined before it was officially launched.
"Then we have nothing to talk about."
Zheng Ge pretended to hang up the phone.
"Hey! Wait a minute."
Jiao Wenbo stopped Zheng Ge, was silent for a moment, and said, "Well, the cooperation last time was quite pleasant. How about we deepen our cooperation?"
Zheng Ge's eyes flickered.
Friends.com has 100 million users, but it is still far behind the giant Penguin Group.
The difference is not only in the number of users, but also in talent reserves, technical background and other aspects.
If we can continue to cooperate with Penguin Group, there will be no harm at all.
Jiao Wenbo proposed deepening cooperation, which can be regarded as an explanation to the friend network.
"OK."
Zheng Ge nodded and agreed.
"Haha! Then this matter is settled. There is another thing that I want to talk to Mr. Zheng."
"What's up?"
Zheng Ge was confused.
"That's right. To be precise, the director of our group's investment department asked me to ask you a question."
Jiao Wenbo said.
"oh?"
Zheng Ge raised his eyelids. The director of Penguin Group's investment department was looking for him. Needless to say, he must have taken a fancy to some project he had in hand.
Sure enough, Jiao Wenbo's next words verified his conjecture.
"It is said that Mr. Zheng is the major shareholder of Xianyu Company. I wonder if Xianyu Platform has any plans to raise funds in the near future?"
Jiao Wenbo said.
Zheng Ge's expression was astonished, but not surprising.
Recently, the Xianyu platform has been doing very well in the idle goods trading market. The overall valuation has reached about 100 million, so it is not surprising that it has attracted the attention of some capital.
"Sorry, I have no plans to raise funds in the near future."
