Rebirth 2003: Dominate the Tech World

Chapter 119



The next morning, in the Yanjing Technology Building, the president’s office of Alphabet.

“Wan’er, go see if Xu Lei has arrived at the company? If he has, please ask him to come to my office.” Ye Yunzhou told the president’s assistant Shangguan Wan’er.

“Okay, president.”

Xu Lei’s business trip was quite long this time, almost twenty days, and he just came back from the United States yesterday. Ye Yunzhou wanted to know what Xu Lei gained from this business trip and what progress Facebook has made in the United States and Europe.

After a while, Xu Lei knocked on the door and came in.

“Sit down, this business trip is long enough, how is it? Did you gain anything?”

Ye Yunzhou pointed to the chair in front of him and asked Xu Lei to sit down.

“Oh, I didn’t expect that the Western media would demonize our country to such an extent!”

Xu Lei suddenly sighed after sitting down.

“Tell me in detail what happened?” Ye Yunzhou asked with a frown.

“After I arrived in Europe this time, through the relationship of the Rothschild family, our Facebook soon passed the review in the European Union. However, when we started to promote it, we found that local users took the initiative to boycott it as soon as they saw that this product came from our Xia country. We went to the local university campus to promote it and were directly driven out by them. In their eyes, how could our Xia country, as a backward country, produce any high-tech products?”

Xu Lei said with anger and unwillingness in his heart, but he could do nothing about it.

Ye Yunzhou frowned and said nothing. He was a reborn person. He knew that European and American countries would still accept Xia country’s Internet products in the future. The future TIKTOK’s killing abroad is proof of this.

However, this was 2003. Xia country still gave the world the impression of wearing long robes and pigtails. Xia country currently had no high-tech products to export. It was still the era of 800 million pairs of socks for one passenger plane.

Of course, all this is related to the fact that the mainstream media in European and American countries have always demonized Xia country. Although Xia country has made great progress since the reform and opening up, this year, Xia country’s GDP is only ranked sixth in the world, which is really too far away from developed countries.

“That means that although the product is online in Europe, its promotion is hindered, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“What about the United States? What’s the situation?”

“Well, it’s similar in the United States. We asked the most influential law firm in the area for help. Facebook’s review was passed, but it was also hindered during promotion. Fortunately, there are many Chinese Americans in the United States. They are still very interested in our Facebook. Currently, 90% of the registered users in the United States are Chinese users or international students in the United States.”

Xu Lei said helplessly.

“You have worked hard during this period. Let’s do this. Go back and discuss with your classmates in the marketing department to see if you can think of any way to break the current situation.”

After Xu Lei left, Ye Yunzhou fell into deep thought.

In addition to media propaganda, Westerners’ hostility towards Daxia is actually related to their development. Why can a large number of high-tech products of Xiaguo in the future enter the Western market? Because at that time, Xiaguo was already the world’s second largest economy and could compete with the United States, but now the gap is too big.

However, since you Westerners look down on Daxia, I will use technology to sanction you. If you resist now, I will make you beg for it later.

“Jarvis, get to work.” Ye Yunzhou called the super artificial intelligence Jarvis in his brain.

“What’s the matter? Brother Zhou.”

“Can you write a virus to crash the global operating system, and then write an antivirus software to kill this virus?”

“Brother Zhou, this is too simple. But, Brother Zhou, why do you do this?”

“Well, since we can’t enter the markets of developed countries in Europe and America by normal business means, then we will use technical means to make them rush to use our products in the future. I want them to know earlier that we Daxia people can also make world-class products.”

Ye Yunzhou knew that doing so would definitely hurt the enemy by 1,000 and hurt ourselves by 500, but compared with the future gains, what’s the big deal about these temporary losses?

Ye Yun authorized Jarvis to control his body and turned on the computer to work.

On the other hand, after returning, Xu Lei called a meeting of all the managers in the marketing department to collect everyone’s ideas and see if they could come up with a good way to enter the Western market.

Someone suggested that since branches have been established in Europe and the United States, they could directly say that this software is American and written by American employees when promoting it.

However, Xu Lei thought that this would definitely not work, because Facebook had been released in Xiaguo for two months, and the media around the world who pay attention to the Internet and technology should know about it. What if the United States used fraudulent consumer fraud?sued Alphabet for false advertising in the name of Facebook, wouldn’t that be a sure thing?

Another employee suggested that Facebook be renamed on the basis of the above, so that it would not be so easy for the United States to ban it after this social software occupies the US market.

However, Xu Lei felt that this was still not appropriate, and the risk was too great.

After discussing for a long time, they could not come up with any good solution. At this time, Xu Lei had time to ask about Facebook’s situation in China. He had been on a business trip abroad for more than 20 days and had not had time to look at Facebook’s data in China when he came back.

“Vice President Xu, this is Facebook’s data. As of October 22, which was 12 o’clock last night, Facebook’s registered users reached 29 million, and the number of online users reached 7.8 million. We have no rivals in China.”

“What? How can it grow so fast?” Xu Lei was shocked. He remembered that when he was on a business trip, Facebook’s registered users had not exceeded 20 million. This growth rate was simply amazing.

“How is the campus network of our rival Tencent?” Xu Lei asked.

“According to reliable information, their campus network currently has about two million registered users. However, after we reported them for pornographic marketing, Tencent was interviewed by relevant government departments, and all their related marketing content has been removed from the shelves. Now the growth has basically stagnated.” said Lin Feng, deputy general manager of the marketing department.

“Then did they copy all the new features we updated?”

“Of course they did, but it was only launched yesterday, and even the icon is exactly the same as ours, which was ridiculed by many netizens.”

Xu Lei thought to himself, it seems that Tencent has rewritten the core code, otherwise it would not have taken so long to launch it. I will go and see later whether there is any difference between it and our Facebook.

“Okay, the other students go out to work first, Lin Feng stay.”

After the others left, Xu Lei said to Lin Feng: “How is the result of our beauty pageant marketing?”

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said: “It’s over. How should I put it? It’s not satisfactory. However, due to the president’s persistence, we have established a great and glorious brand image in the minds of users. This is the biggest gain.”

Xu Lei thought to himself that the boss is worthy of being the boss. At the beginning, everyone was prepared to add some marginal content for marketing promotion under the pressure of Tencent. Only the boss insisted on doing sunny and positive publicity, and finally made Facebook form a good image.

“By the way, how is the negotiation with Shonan TV for our ‘Super Girl’ project going?”

“Well, we have signed the contract and are currently forming a team. The preliminary round will start next month, and the final round will be held during the Spring Festival. It will definitely be a big hit by then. And when I was talking to them, I also signed another contract, which is the contract for ‘Happy Boys’. After the Super Girl, we will go to the Happy Boys audition. Alphabet Company has applied for the copyright of these two programs.”

Xu Lei sighed secretly, this Lin Feng is really a talent!

“Lin Feng, you have done a great job. I am going to recommend to the president to promote you to the head of the marketing department. Don’t let me down.” Xu Lei stood up and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder and said.

“Thank you, Vice President Xu. I won’t let you and the president down.” Lin Feng said excitedly.
