Chapter 87: Tens of millions of users are just around the corner [Subscription required]
April 2008, 4 was destined to be a day that would leave a small trace on the Chinese Internet, after the launch of Xinghuo Weibo.
Meng Laicai, the super coal boss and wealthy man, and Mile, the ordinary white and rich beauty with a few hundred million dollars, broke out of the race and called on their friends... In just over ten hours, before 12 noon, Xinghuo Weibo had more than 50 registered users.
Of course, PC is still the mainstream, accounting for more than 98%.
Wu Di, Zhang Biao, Hua Zi, Yang Xiaoyun, Yang Zixi, Shen Bing, Lin Xia and other internet celebrities and influencers, although they do not have too strong a impact, are also contributing to the popularity of Xinghuo Weibo.
As of noon, Wu Di and Zhang Biao each had 20,000 to 30,000 fans, and Lin Xia had over 100,000 fans.
This is all thanks to the three songs "Where Has the Time Gone", "Misplaced Time and Space" and "As Wish Got", which have been released in succession, dominating the screens and bombarding countless people's eardrums, and even the ringtones have very stable income, so that a large number of fans can be quickly gathered on the new platform.
Noon, 12 o'clock sharp.
With the official opening of Volkswagen's official Weibo account, this Volkswagen official Weibo account has also obtained the Spark Blue V certification. The first Weibo post from Volkswagen's official Weibo account was to @白骨精顾菁菁, thanking the other party for bringing her own food to promote Volkswagen around the Spring Festival, and specially wanted to give Ms. Gu a new car.
As soon as this Weibo post came out, it went viral!!
No matter how many people like Meng Laicai, the national father-in-law, or Mile, the super white, rich and beautiful woman, have attracted on the Internet to want to live off them and take advantage of their glory and popularity.
When Volkswagen appears on a new platform, we will give it a car directly.
Gu Jingjing, isn’t she the national best girlfriend for countless people? Isn’t she the one that countless entrepreneurial men want to fight and work hard with a girl with such good qualities?
This female graduate student from the Normal University with fair skin, beautiful face and long legs is well-known for "borrowing a car to go home and show off" during the Spring Festival. She caused a series of embarrassing incidents and amused many people.
Volkswagen Group, giving away cars?!
Gu Jingjing just interacted with the official Weibo account of Volkswagen on Weibo, and countless netizens and onlookers have gone crazy under the Weibo posts of the two, asking for confirmation whether this is the real Volkswagen.
Do you really want to send a car...
Volkswagen has a variety of affordable and popular car models, and although they are not expensive, they are still cars, representing one of the most important things in life.
Such a huge car company would directly give a car to a "common netizen"?
Just like what Wang Chengguang said when talking to Manager He, Volkswagen's down-to-earth approach of giving away a car will have a better advertising effect than spending millions or tens of millions on advertising on the central bank.
Starting at noon, this Weibo message began to be reposted and forwarded, and began to appear in various forums and BBSs.
Some netizens even left messages saying that they also wanted to drive a Volkswagen on a self-driving tour during the Spring Festival, just like Gu Jingjing did, to show off their lives and wonder if they could have a chance to win a prize and be given a car.
Various breaking topics, along with Volkswagen's act of giving away cars, caused several hot bulletin boards and forums to continue to fall.
Internet celebrities, internet celebrities, are not traditional stars, but grassroots figures who have risen from the Internet. As for how to create a golden image for internet celebrities and enhance their commercial value, in essence, Gu Jingjing, Wu Di, Lin Xia and others are ordinary people who have become famous on the Internet.
Just students in school.
Such an identity makes them naturally feel close to countless netizens, which is something traditional big stars cannot do.
Suddenly, I was contacted directly by Volkswagen, a Fortune 500 giant car company, to deliver a car!
This is many times more talked about and gimmicky than someone spending money to buy a Volkswagen car.
The number of registered users on Xinghuo Weibo has soared again!!
Its popularity is also spreading rapidly.
………………
Spark Media, President’s Office.
When Gu Jingjing, Yang Tao and Yang Xiaoyun put on gorgeous and beautiful Hanfu dresses again, they stood in the small studio and posed for several groups of photos by Wang Chengguang.
Gu Jingjing grabbed her phone and checked it before she said in surprise, "Boss, my Weibo followers have exceeded 6."
"Compared to Lin Xia and Mile, the progress is a bit slow, but I feel that it won't be difficult to break 100 today. Can our Xinghuo Weibo reach registered users today?"
Yang Tao also excitedly interrupted, "I think there is hope that it will break 200 million. Boss, can Weibo break 2000 million users by the end of this month?"
"If you can break 3000 million, can't you also learn from Xiaonei and raise funds? Xiaonei has more than 30 million registered users and raised nearly billion yuan..."
"Wow, a billionaire like you, an outstanding young man, is taking photos of us three little sisters in person. It feels so exciting!"
"No one outside of Starfire can afford to hire a photographer like you."
Wang Chengguang waved his hands speechlessly, "Okay, don't get too excited, don't get too excited, there are still differences between Weibo users and Xiaonei users."
"In the short term, I don't plan to raise funds. Not raising funds will hinder capital development. I still have to fight several battles with Fanfou, Penguin Taotao and other major platforms such as Weibo."
He has accumulated a lot of experience and has laid a solid foundation time and time again to develop to the present day. The Spark Weibo has taken off and is expected to have a user base of 10 to 20 million in the near future.
Behind, really look at the back!
He was able to take the lead step by step with the help of the health packs on the campus network and Happy Farm, including the New Three Kingdoms tower defense game and the King of Ancient Heroes card health packs.
When we have more than 100 million users on Weibo and capture 200 to 300 million of them, we will have taken the leading position in the mobile terminal market.
However, this still needs to keep up with the times, with 95% of PC users gradually switching to mobile phones.
The next moment, Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "I also have good news to tell you. Meng Laicai plans to open a chain of Hanfu stores in Beijing, Chang'an, Luo City, Kaifeng and other places."
"You three should promote Hanfu from April to the end of the May Day Golden Week. Take more beautiful photos of Hanfu. It would be even better if you have singing and dancing talents."
"To get started, the cooperation agreement given by Meng Laicai is 50 for Jingjing, 50 for Taozi, and 5 for Xiaoyun."
"The opportunity is here, it's up to you to seize it."
Gu Jingjing and the other two daughters were all ecstatic. They spent a whole month in March endorsing this and that, and Gu Jingjing and Yang Tao each earned 3 yuan.
This is another big job.
Especially Gu Jingjing has the Beijing Auto Show in late April.
After being surprised, Gu Jingjing hurried forward and said, "Mr. Wang, are you tired? How about I help you massage your legs?"
Yang Xiaoyun also walked over quickly, "Brother Wang, let me rub your shoulders for you."
Wang Chengguang, “…”
He darkened his face and complained, "Don't use this to challenge me. You can improve your singing and dancing skills, wear ancient Chinese costumes and dance court dances. As long as the photos are good and the dance is good, Boss Meng is not a stingy person."
This idea was proposed by Wang Chengguang to Meng Laicai. He personally directed traffic to Xinghuo Weibo and sold his image and wealth to attract users. In the process of helping Dade Huitong to whitewash itself, adding a little more points is a win-win situation.
The original trajectory continued into the 21s, when Hanfu fever was at its peak. Hanfu shops were everywhere, especially in places like the Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps. Various businesses centered around Hanfu were developed, and there were countless of them.
Meng Laicai has set up a number of chain Hanfu museums in various places, stockpiling a large number of good-looking Hanfu for men and women for tourists to rent, wear and take photos. This is not a question of how much money can be made.
The chain of Hanfu shops is registered under the name of Dade, which can be reflected in the stock market.
The Hanfu museum is doing good business and is very popular. The money it makes from renting out space for photo taking is far less than what it earns from netizens, citizens and stock investors who are optimistic about Germany's stock market.
Gu Jingjing and the other two girls had been endorsing and promoting Hanfu for a month.
Keep pushing this topic and keep winning! !
………………
After finishing taking photos for Gu Jingjing and the other two girls, Wang Chengguang returned to the big office, briefly sorted out the pace of the business at hand, and then set out again to see Zhong Miaomiao.
When he arrived at a professional recording studio and listened to Zhong Miaomiao singing Starry Sea live, he said with a little regret, "It seems that it is unrealistic to expect you to sing well based on your ability when releasing a single this month."
"It's okay. We can use some technical skills like audio editing to fix this song. You still have plenty of time to practice. It won't be too late to start taking on commercial performances and earn money after you finish your military training at the Central Conservatory of Music."
The eighteen-year-old girl started her singing career by frequently training her voice and working very hard, but her talent was average.
Zhong Miaomiao took a few sips of water and said weakly, "Brother Guang, am I holding you back? If it were someone stronger, they would have recorded it long ago."
Wang Chengguang smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I've laid so much groundwork for Weibo, it's better to expose them one by one."
"On the contrary, if all the content is released in one or two days, the appeal of each topic will be greatly diluted."
"Let's go to my house for dinner tonight. I'll make you some medicinal soup to strengthen your heart and lungs. It will more or less help you practice your singing skills."
Zhong Miaomiao was shocked and said, "Is he really going to your house?"
Wouldn't that mean she would have to meet her sister-in-law? She wanted to steal the house too, but she wasn't ready to face her sister-in-law.
The next moment, Zhong Miaomiao asked suspiciously, "Brother Guang, don't scare me. When did you learn to make medicinal food? This is too outrageous..."
For someone like Wang Chengguang, it is extremely rare to be able to build up a family business and career within one year of graduation. In addition to your outstanding musical talent, you can also cook medicinal food? ?
She heard from Lin Xia that one of Wang Chengguang's hobbies is cooking. He cooks super delicious food, so delicious that it is beyond words. If you have the chance to taste it, eating several kilograms of it is a common practice.
But medicinal food and ordinary food seem to be quite different!
…………
At around six o'clock in the afternoon, when Wang Chengguang drove Zhong Miaomiao back to 901 of Hopson International and opened the door, he saw Wu Xiaowei washing clothes and sheets with a facial mask on.
Seeing Wang Chengguang, Xiao Wei smiled sweetly and called out, looking at Zhong Miaomiao curiously, "Are you Miaomiao? Wow, you are so pretty, I've seen your photos and watched the MV of you singing Dislocated Time and Space many times, you look better in person than in the photos and on camera."
When she put down what she was holding and came over to greet him, Wang Chengguang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You are only 19 years old, what kind of facial mask do you use? Your age is too old for facial mask manufacturers to sell their products."
When Wu Xiaowei asked someone to send some fruit to Zhong Miaomiao, she said, "I didn't use it on purpose. It was given to me by Yang Xiaoyun and Sister Taozi. They said that Dabao, Chando and other European and American brands had given them products, so I tried it out."
"Mile's Weibo followers have exceeded 15. There is no inflated data."
"This beautiful, rich and beautiful girl was silent for a month or two, and then she made a comeback. Her popularity is still explosive, while Gu Jingjing and Yang Tao only have 10 and 8 fans respectively."
Up to now, Xinghuo Weibo has only been online for a little over 18 hours.
The genuine number of fans is enough to show how much celebrity status these people have had since their debut.
Wang Chengguang introduced the two women to each other formally, and when the two of them gradually started chatting freely, he went to the kitchen to do some work.
Wu Xiaowei glanced at the kitchen, and suddenly pulled Zhong Miaomiao and said, "Miaomiao, come on, let's weigh you. I want to see how much temptation you can resist for the first time."
Zhong Miaomiao was dumbfounded and said, "Is it really like what Sister Lin Xia said, that he eats several kilograms in one meal?"
Wu Xiaowei nodded repeatedly, "I just want to see if you are a three-jin competitor or a five-jin competitor. You don't know, a good sister of mine is also from the same hometown. She is now the head of the call center at Xinghuo. She gained 34 kilograms in the past three months."
"I have worked hard this year and lost more than 20 pounds, but whenever Brother Guang cooks and I call her, she wants to come to me with a knife in hand."
"so fun!"
Zhong Miaomiao was once again stunned. She gained 34 catties in three months? You have to know that she is less than 90 meters tall barefoot and her weight has always been maintained below catties. Being fat will easily affect her appearance.
Isn't it that Ayi, who is gaining weight so quickly, has gained more than one-third of her weight in three months? ?
Zhong Miaomiao was as confused as a child weighing more than 80 kilograms. After more than ten seconds, she asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, how did you lose weight? Your figure..."
Wu Xiaowei's figure was so good that even she, as a woman, was envious. Of course, Wu Xiaowei's appearance was even more impeccable, which made her feel a little inferior.
Wu Xiaowei smiled happily, "You have to be professional to lose weight. I just exercise more, exercise more..."
Zhong Miaomiao, "..."
The first time she visited Wang Chengguang's home was on the day her Xinghuo Weibo account was launched. She gained nearly five kilograms before she was sent away. When she was sent away, she was carrying a large bucket of 5000 milliliters of nourishing and lung-moisturizing herbal tea.
She felt embarrassed to even eat and take.
The rest of the day was still a time for Xinghuo Weibo to log on to the Internet, refresh and create various small miracles. At eight o'clock that evening, under the previous hot topics, the number of registered users of Xinghuo Weibo exceeded 150 million.
Until the early hours of the morning, 24 hours after going online, the total number of registered users exceeded 200 million!
The entire Internet was basically suppressed by Meng Laicai, Mile, Lin Xia, Wu Di and other Internet celebrities, including the official Weibo account of Volkswagen and Gu Jingjing.
Breaking 200 million a day, and breaking million is almost just around the corner.
Not to mention the reaction of Fanfou, which has been online for more than half a year, even the big penguin Taotao was shocked by its rise.
Traditional blogging giants including Zhalang, NetEase, Sohu, etc. were also dumbfounded.
This April was originally a period when traditional giants were making waves on the PC side and competing for the top blogging overlord. The top ten blog topics of the year were also still being created and promoted.
The sudden rise of Weibo has really created a huge hole in the Internet world!
What’s even more outrageous is that 95% of users basically operate Weibo on PC...which has little to do with the promised new mobile platform.
(ps: Bad news, our PK push failed after Sanjiang, and we don’t recommend it anymore... Please subscribe, three updates of 8000 words have exploded, everyone complains that I update less, but we are steadily updating words a day!)
