Chapter 83 Should I notify Xiao Ma? [Subscribe! ]
April 4th, the first day of the third lunar month.
At the entrance of Zibo Eight Bureau, Wang Chengguang glanced at the crowds of people coming in and out, and said to Gu Jingjing and Yang Tao, "Since we are here, do you want to have some barbecue together?"
He returned to Beijing in the early morning of the 2nd and did homework with Wu Xiaowei. It would definitely take more than a day or two to finish it.
It will then take time to write the storyboard script for the tribute version of the MV for the blockbuster Starry Sea, and to receive the staff from tourism organizations in Chang'an, Luo City, and Kaifeng who were sent to the Beijing office of Spark Media.
No matter how Zhong Miaomiao's singing practice progresses, it will take at least half a month to shoot the MV... After the MV is finished, Zhong Miaomiao still cannot sing solo, so she can only rely on technology to complete the final recording of the single.
Anyway, Zhong Miaomiao herself is not in a hurry to perform in various places to make money.
After finishing those major things, other minor matters, such as endorsements and commercial performances by other internet celebrities, also follow the process.
Now he, Gu Jingjing, and Yang Tao drove to Zibo to visit the Zibo Tourism Organization. Before he traveled through time, Zibo barbecue had been very popular for a year or two...
Why did he continue to bring two women? The celebrity effect, with these two, was more convincing than Wang Chengguang introducing himself to the travel agency with his ID card and company seal.
He understood that the original trajectory of the popularity of Zibo barbecue was due to the superposition of various factors, including the epidemic for many years, and the rebound in the later period when people wanted to go out and play everywhere.
There are too many cases of tourists being cheated and overcharged at various tourist attractions, and countless netizens have become accustomed to them and are numb to them. Therefore, the people of Zibo are simple, the goods are of good quality and low price, and they do not overcharge tourists.
There are also various official emergency responses that are properly handled. If a hotel wants to take advantage of the situation to raise prices, they will directly issue you a ticket, etc., which has won a lot of goodwill from the people.
Only then will there be a long-term situation where "Zibo, while being famous as a petrochemical industrial city, can overtake others in the tourism circle."
Zibo in 2008 will definitely be different from the future, with great changes.
But he still wanted to give it a try and talk to the relevant units to see if he could create a trend. 2008 was the year when China's tourism economy took a big step forward.
When talking about famous tourist destinations in Shandong Province, Zibo is not currently ranked high.
If we make use of the Xinghuo Weibo platform and work together with Zibo tourism units to promote the trend, we will be working together with Chang'an, Luo City and Kaifeng.
When playing on a platform, the more you do in the early stages, the bigger the explosion will be.
Just like Happy Farm, without the wave after wave of internet celebrities and new topics such as Zhang Biao, Wu Di, Lin Xia, Gu Jingjing and the later Mile, there would not be the current popularity on campus network.
He hopes that after one or two months of launch, Xinghuo Weibo will have tens of millions of users! !
The number of users of Big Penguin Taotao is only over 3000 million now, and they are basically inactive.
At this point, Penguin was defeated in the Weibo battlefield. There is one thing that must be said, that is, Penguin is the cause of success and failure. Penguin's favorite thing is to bind all Penguin friends. The Weibo you posted can be seen by all friends, and they can follow, comment and forward...
In this era, there are still many strangers chatting on Penguin, and it has become the mainstream way for many people to contact their classmates, family members, and colleagues, and many acquaintances are online.
The attributes of Weibo allow strangers to feel free!
There are crazy shoutings on the Internet, saying that a monthly income of tens of thousands is too mediocre, the average height of an average person is 180cm, the average Chinese person is the most handsome, etc. The words and remarks you post are viewed and commented upon by all strangers, so the poster has no psychological burden.
For example, in the later WeChat Moments, you would have to block a group of relatives and friends whenever you posted something!
Penguin has 07 million registered users, but it always wants to push everything forward in one go. This strategic mistake is the main reason why Penguin was gradually paralyzed even though it started to attack Taobao in 2010 and Penguin Weibo in .
This is not something that can be affected by the ordinary butterfly effect.
The 800 million users on Penguin are the foundation and pillar of everything Penguin is, and they are the eldest son.
As for other games, portals, including future Weibo, music, film, e-sports, etc., once one appears, Penguin, the eldest son, will want to eat whatever he sees, regardless of whether it goes smoothly or not.
Something like an empire has been formed, and internal factional fighting is endless.
If there are no major changes, Wang Chengguang will not be too worried about Penguin on the Weibo battlefield, and it is more likely that Zhalang and others will become the main opponents.
In 08, more than million netizens registered blogs in China, and the market was divided among them. Zhalang ended up as an old giant, and it was easy to change quickly and turn around...
It depends on how powerful the effects of the previous moves will be after Wang Chengguang makes his move.
After hearing his words, Gu Jingjing and Yang Tao were a little confused, but they nodded and followed him into the Badaju Convenience Market. While walking around, they found a barbecue stall and started to order some food and wait for their meal.
While waiting, Yang Tao glanced around and couldn't help laughing, "Although I am 27 years old, since I joined our company, I have never been to Qin Province or Henan Province, let alone Shandong Province."
"In just a few months, I have traveled to many places and gained a lot of knowledge. Following Mr. Wang is considered a public-funded trip, and food and accommodation are provided. I don't know how many of my classmates and friends are envious of this treatment."
Gu Jingjing was also very happy. "Yes, traveling around by car, working as a tourist, and making money, settling down and starting a family, it's so..."
"By the way, Mr. Wang, I plan to buy a house before the auto show in April, also in the same neighborhood as yours. I'm still chatting with Volkswagen, and Manager He there said that Volkswagen has houses for senior executives, and there is also a small two-bedroom, one-living room apartment, which I can buy in full."
"I went to see a house the day before yesterday. It has been fully renovated for two months. I think we can move in in May."
"Last May, I was still preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam. Now thinking about it seems like a dream!"
Wang Chengguang smiled brightly, "That's great, we'll be neighbors in the future, I'll move in when I go back this time."
Now he has contacted the Zibo Tourism Unit and plans to go there closer to dinner time to have a detailed discussion. If the discussion goes well, he will find a few Zibo students in some colleges and universities in Beijing and sponsor them to invite their classmates to have a barbecue here...
The Xinghuo Weibo is promoted like a small diary, and the platform is recommended frequently to showcase the simplicity and kindness of the Zibo compatriots, the good quality and low price of goods, and the official efficient and convenient services.
Do you think the people in Zibo are so simple and friendly now, and are the government efficient? Discuss with the tourism units in advance and actively guide the direction.
As long as the tourism units are willing to cooperate, this is not difficult to achieve.
All the famous scenic spots and tourist cities spend a lot of money on tourism promotion and advertising. Wang Chengguang took the initiative to come here, so the probability of reaching a cooperation is very high.
The hype in April is to attract traffic for the May Day Golden Week.
As long as the effect is good, Xinghuo Weibo will attract more and more tourist units to come.
Chang'an, Luo City and Kaifeng still rely on the style of Han and Tang Dynasties and cultural accumulation to shine. If Zibo barbecue had been cooked on low heat in advance, even if it was only to double the tourism revenue during the Golden Week in 08 compared to 07.
This will be a huge success for Spark Weibo!!
As the first batch of skewers were served, Wang Chengguang quickly tasted them and nodded, "The taste is not particularly outstanding, but the portion, quality and price are very reasonable."
He is already a man with world-class cooking skills, so a comment that is not particularly outstanding is not a bad review at all!
………………
On April 4, when Wang Chengguang drove back to Beijing, he arrived at the China World Trade Center office building with a little dust on his face. In the office waiting area, the person in charge of the Xinghuo Weibo project team was already chatting lively with Wu Di, Zhang Biao and others.
Seeing his boss appear, the person in charge of Weibo quickly stood up and greeted him, and said excitedly, "Boss Wang, Weibo has been in internal testing for nearly a week, and occasionally there will be some small bugs, program confusion, etc."
"But it was easily handled by the technical team. In addition to some participants in our Spark game, those who were invited to the internal test were from Tieba and forum users." "Including some students who took the initiative to apply for the internal test, all of them gave good comments on our Spark Weibo. 80% of the questionnaires said that it is much more useful than Fanfou and Tencent Taotao."
"Fifty percent of them are asking about the future public beta of Weibo. If we, Xinghuo, issue a certified V number to certain celebrities or stars, will they no longer have to suspect that those celebrities or stars are fakes?"
“Too many netizens are interested in this.”
Wang Chengguang nodded. "Whether it's the yellow V certification of celebrities or the blue V certification of corporate users and official units, we will definitely be responsible. If there is a fake one, we will cover it."
"If the current server is open to the public for public testing, how many people can it handle at most?"
The Weibo official laughed and said, “As long as the total number of registered users is over 30 million and the number of concurrently active users is under , there won’t be any problems.”
Wang Chengguang started looking for a Weibo R&D team. Everything went so smoothly, not just because he had the huge advertising fees from Xiaonei.com and the income from the Happy Farm game, which were both huge blood bags that he could suck at will.
What’s more, he became popular in some college circles with his two songs, "Misplaced Time and Space" and "As Wish"!
The units in Chang'an, Luo City and Kaifeng paid out of their own pockets to help him shoot the MV for the blockbuster movie "The Sea of Stars". Wang Chengguang just came up with a storyboard script, and the three units took care of everything else.
Regardless of whether it is President Liu of Beijing University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, President of Beijing University of Economics or President of Normal University, which one of them has no rank? The circle of friends of their assistants is very mysterious and uncertain.
From purchasing various equipment to applying for servers, broadband and new business of the company, just a push from anyone in the metaphysical circle of friends will give you the green light all the way.
We started planning in February, and everything went as smoothly as if the traffic was dispatched.
Wang Chengguang nodded, "Okay, the official public beta will be launched on April 4th. By then, I also hope that you internet celebrities will become the first batch of personally certified yellow V accounts."
His various plans for official certification are similar to those of Zhalang before the time travel.
………………
Pengcheng, the office of the CEO of Big Penguin Games.
Mr. Liang took a sip of coffee and looked at Lao Hu across from him, "Xiao Guo still couldn't convince Wang Chengguang to cooperate with us on Happy Farm?"
"What on earth does this kid want to do? Several tribute songs are very popular, and it is not convenient for us to copy... ahem, borrow from them to create something, so as not to be criticized by thousands of people and affect our image."
"But the campus network has more than 3000 million users, with a monthly turnover of to million RMB, while we at Penguin have million users."
"Doesn't he want to make money?"
Old Hu opened his mouth, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself.
Mr. Liang frowned, "Is there any new information that I don't know?"
Lao Hu sighed, "I think I just found out that Xinghuo over there is also going to get involved in the development of Internet platforms!"
Lao Liang was stunned for more than ten seconds, as if he had heard a joke, but his smile became more and more awkward. "That's right, even that Qing Xiao Wang founded Xiaonei and Fanfou, which are comparable to Facebook and Twitter in North America."
"This Beijian King has tens of millions of wealth, so it's not impossible for him to try his hand at it."
"What did he do?"
Lao Hu stood up and explained, "It should be a benchmark for Twitter, and it has the same nature as Fanfou and our Penguin Taotao. Now is the beginning of the era when Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places have just been officially promoted to mobile phone 3G signals."
"Why do I feel like he is trying to flatter the boss?"
"In preparation for the Olympics, the higher-ups were vigorously promoting 3G, and he followed suit by promoting mobile media platforms like Twitter!"
"This Beijian King has an extremely sharp sense of smell."
"In the past, if you wanted to use your mobile phone to play Fanfou and Taotao, you had to send text messages or MMS messages, which was more convenient because there was no speed limit. The 2G signal speed of dozens of kilobytes was too slow. With the advent of the 3G era, things are completely different."
"Should we inform Brother Xiao Ma?"
Mr. Liang thought about it and shook his head. "We are the game department and have nothing to do with Taotao. Besides, Taotao has been established for more than half a year and has 30 to 40 million users. There is no need to be surprised."
"Xinghuo Wang Chengguang is creating a new platform similar to Twitter. Is he trying to attract platform users through Happy Farm? But it's not easy to transplant the farm to mobile phones..."
Until 2010, most Weibo users were computer gamers.
It is normal for Lao Liang to have such doubts.
Lao Hu smiled and said, "I don't think this is a big problem. Xiaonei.com has already gone out to seek financing because of its 1500 million new users."
"If he wants to use Happy Farm to boost his platform users, then if a bunch of influencers move to the game together, it will not only hurt the influencers' own popularity, but Oak Pacific, which has received overseas financing, will not agree to it."
"However, the social activity brought by Happy Farm is too terrifying. There are more than 3400 million campus network users, and the daily active users are stable at more than 700 million."
“This is too outrageous!!”
Is it against the will of heaven? Chen Qian of Oak Pacific listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1.2 with a total of 3000 million users, 2011 million of whom were active, and the highest market value was 74 billion US dollars.
Do you think that more than 700 million daily active users are scary? ?
Lao Liang took another deep breath and drank a sip of coffee. "What's Wang's phone number? I'll contact him personally."
"You should also send an official email to Brother Xiao Ma and mention the new platform of Spark Media."
"This guy, the 3G signal has just been launched, and he is already using a platform that focuses on mobile phones? The more popular the platform is, the more likely it is that he will trick countless netizens into turning on 3G..."
There is a huge difference between mobile phones and computers.
Office workers and migrant workers can all carry a mobile phone with them, but it is impossible for many people to carry a notebook with them all the time.
Otherwise, Twitter and Facebook wouldn't be so popular in North America, each with its own highlights.
Old Hu nodded silently.
Ten minutes later, Mr. Liang hung up the landline phone angrily, his face darkening, "Fuck, how come I changed three mobile numbers and none of them were answered by Wang Chengguang himself?"
"Haven't you got his real private phone number yet? He keeps asking me to wait for instructions and report arrangements. Damn, this is really poisonous."
Old Hu looked messy.
All the big guys have a lot of external contact information, but the three collected through Penguin Games’ channels are not all of them?
