My Age of Investment

The foreign girl trusted Xia Jingxing very much, and it was that kind of unreserved trust.

The next morning, as soon as she arrived at the company, she called all the executives and had a meeting together.

At the meeting, she raised two topics: "opening the public homepage to more institutions and organizations" and "developing Twitter".

The foreign girl stood on the stage, playing the PPT, and retelling what Xia Jingxing told her yesterday, adding some of her own understanding.

"Opening the public homepage to more organizations, institutions, and celebrities is to enrich the content of the platform and at the same time enhance the social influence of the platform..."

Xia Jingxing did not sit in the first place, but sat in the first place on the left of the head of the conference table.

This used to be the seat of the foreign girl, but now the seats of the two have been reversed.

He leaned quietly on the chair, looked at the foreign girl in a white professional suit on the stage, and listened to the latter introduce the two major products in detail, nodding his head from time to time.

The foreign girl's comprehension ability is still very good, and what he tells is not very different from what he taught yesterday.

"The public homepage is open to stars, celebrities, governments, various associations, etc., which is understandable.

But what is this tweet? Can I still send messages by SMS? "

Evans shrugged, with a disapproving look on his face, "What's the difference between this and Facebook's news and personal updates?"

All the executives subconsciously looked at Xia Jingxing.

Although the two topics were raised by Christina today, all executives can feel that these are definitely written by Darren, only he has so many wonderful ideas.

Xia Jingxing noticed these strange eyes and remained silent, as if an old monk had fallen into samadhi.

He wants to maintain the authority of the foreign girl, so naturally he can't do it for him.

Yang Niu also somewhat saw the dependence of some executives on Xia Jingxing, and it would be a lie to say that there was no grievance.

But if you want to prove that you are worthy of this position, it is useless to blame others, and you have to perform on your own in the end.

She said lightly: "There are enough functions on Facebook, we can't add any more, that will only make the interface more and more complicated,

Bad user experience...

The reason why Twitter chose to incorporate the function of "sms and tweets" is to lower the threshold.

Everyone carries a mobile phone with them at all times, and it is not as bulky as a computer.

The Twitter system will have a receiver. As long as the user sends a message to the number specified by Twitter, the Twitter system will distribute the message to the user's followers. "

Evans spread his hands, "Isn't this just group text messages?"

"It's different. In addition to using mobile phones to receive tweets, users can also use PC devices to receive tweets and reply to tweets in the information input box on the web page."

Yang Niu explained: "In the vision, Twitter is an open source website. In the future, it will also integrate mailboxes, instant messaging tools, etc. to make information dissemination easier, more convenient, and faster."

Not only did Evans not understand, but several other executives also felt that this seemed to be a useless thing.

"Why use Twitter to tweet? I can use text messages, even communication tools, and emails on my mobile phone?"

"Yeah, it feels like the product is unlikely to be popular."

"I think we should focus more on Facebook's user growth."

...

Several executives have spoken their minds, and none of them is optimistic about Twitter.

Xia Jingxing knew that this would happen. He spent a lot of effort yesterday to convince the foreign girl that this is a product with a bright future.

When Twitter was born in the previous life, it was called "the stupidest idea ever" by analysts.

Why do you say that? It is because it looks too tasteless and redundant.

However, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. When there are tens of millions or hundreds of millions of users, this short information transmission method will suddenly show its power.

The reason why Twitter incorporates the function of "sms and tweets" is that it has predicted the trend of the mobile Internet very early.

After the development, almost no one on Twitter is using text messages, emails, and instant messaging tools to tweet, and all use "mobile phone applications".

Later, the CEO of Twitter was also stolen, and hackers used his account to post a lot of inappropriate remarks of racial discrimination.

Twitter blamed the telecom operator for something wrong, which was easily breached by hackers.

Later, Twitter simply permanently disabled the function of "texting tweets" to prevent hackers from stealing accounts again.

But right now there is no smart phone, so we can only use these local methods.

In fact, this is also the real secret of Twitter's early start, which is somewhat similar to the "Mobile QQ" of the year.

In the era without smart phones, Penguin used the GSM, SMS and WAP systems of mobile communication operators to connect with its own QQ system, so that mobile phone users can directly communicate with QQ users by SMS.

Xia Jingxing remained silent, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Yang Niu took a look at him, but still chose to trust Xia Jingxing, insisting on promoting the establishment of the Twitter project.

Evans had no choice but to ask Xia Jingxing for help: "Daren, please say a few words!

It is not difficult to implement Twitter's technology, but it is difficult to get a large number of users to like it and use it for a long time. "

Xia Jingxing said indifferently: "You are responsible for carrying out the development tasks, and you don't have to worry about the operation."

Evans fell silent now, and so did the other executives.

In this way, when all the executives of the company were unanimously optimistic, the Twitter project was officially established.

After Facebook completed its B round of financing, it has been continuously recruiting.

Now there are more than 300 employees in the Silicon Valley headquarters alone, and the recruitment has not stopped.

As far as technical manpower is concerned, it is still very abundant.

Yang Niu mobilized more than 20 people to set up a Twitter development team, and arranged these people on the 6th floor of the newly leased building to start research and development in a low-key manner.

Facebook used to only have a three-story office building, but now it has leased all the 1-6 floors of the entire building. In the future, the number of employees at the Silicon Valley headquarters will expand to more than 500.

"Boss, come out~ come out~"

The puppy knocked on the door and walked into the office, and started yelling as soon as he entered the room.

"What's wrong? Panicked."

Xia Jingxing was writing the development outline of Facebook on the computer, looked up at the puppy, and asked.

"Didn't you ask me to inquire about News Corporation's acquisition of Juyou.com? Now that the news has been officially announced, News Corporation spent 100 million dollars to acquire Juyou.com."

Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "It's only 100 million US dollars?"

In the previous life, News Corporation spent 580 million US dollars to acquire Juyou.com.

In this life, because of the early appearance of Facebook, Juyou.com has been ranked second in the industry, and its value must not be comparable to that of the previous life.

However, 100 million US dollars is not too little, and News Corporation may have paid a premium.

Xiaogou pursed his mouth and said: "They are worth the price at most. The number of Juyou.com users has never exceeded 10 million, and because we launched the information flow function, their active users are still losing..."

Xia Jingxing nodded first, and then asked, "Where are Chris and the management? Have you stayed?"

"He stayed, and Murdoch offered Chris an annual salary of 10 million US dollars. Others, like Sean Parker, Zuckerberg, etc., also received a well-paid contract."

Xia Jingxing made a lot of sense, Murdoch doesn't know how to play the Internet, so he wants to spend a lot of money to keep these talents.

After paying so much, the picture will naturally not be small.

"Don't notify me first, notify Christina first."

Xia Jingxing didn't give any guidance, but waved his hand and wanted to chase him away.

The little dog's eyes were complicated, and he pouted, trying to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Sighing, he turned around and was about to go out.

Xia Jingxing called to stop the puppy and said, "Be happy, it's not like we won't see each other in the future.

After I leave, you need to cooperate more with Christina's work. "

Xiaogou nodded, "Boss, don't worry, Christina will be my boss from now on."

"what about me?"

Xia Jingxing asked with a smile, as expected of someone who has been familiar with the Three Kingdoms since childhood, this change of family is not ambiguous at all.

The little dog winked and said: "You are the man behind the new boss!"

Xia Jingxing picked up the mouse and was about to hit someone.

While hiding, the puppy ran out the door with a smile.
