"Students, today let's talk about why stealing vegetables is so popular?"

"Of course, since we've talked about stealing vegetables, we can't help but talk about the prop dog setting recently launched by the game of stealing vegetables. Before we talk, I'll do a survey, students, if you have purchased a prop dog, please raise your hand?"

Harvard, a computer professor at Harvard, is giving a lecture to students.

After he finished speaking, almost more than 90% of the class raised their hands.

The Level 1 Prop Dog costs only $10 and can be afforded by any student.

"It seems that the network of friends is really strong, in fact, I also bought a prop dog. So, if you bought a level 2 dog, please raise your hand?"

At this point, half of the class raised their hands.

Harry nodded, and once again sighed that the friend network was accurate about the user's psychology.

This group of students didn't have a lot of money, but quite a few still bought a level 2 dog.

"So, if you have bought a level 3 dog, please raise your hand. ”

At this time, there were only a few people in the class.

However, when they raised their hands, everyone was a little red-eyed.

Level 3 dog one only costs 1,000 dollars, although they are willing to buy it, although they also want to buy it, but they really don't have the money.

However, Professor Harry asked again, "If you have bought a level 4 dog, please raise your hand." ”

At this time, only two people in the class raised their hands.

"Wow. ”

At this time, there was an instant sensation in the classroom.

$10,000 for a Level 4 dog, which is really not something that the average student can afford.

However, Harry continued to ask, "If you have bought a level 5 dog, please raise your hand." ”

At this time, only one raised his hand.

There were no surprises, and this one student became the focus of the class.

"Hehe, this classmate, let's make friends. ”

Professor Harry made a joke.

However, although there are few students who can come up with $100,000, it is not impossible.

Just as on the Internet, you can see a lot of local tyrants.

"Let's look at the friend network again, we have analyzed before, the root of social networks is the theory of six degrees of separation. In other words, we only need to go through 6 people for us to get to know all the people in this world. In reality, it is difficult to verify the theory of six degrees of separation, because we do not have this condition. But online, everything has changed. ”

"From the vegetable stealing game in the friend network, we can see that you can have an intersection with your friend's friend. Of course, this is the same as the prop dog that has become popular in stealing vegetables recently, which is also an important embodiment of the theory of six degrees of division. In the real world, it's hard for us to get to know those who have money. But by stealing vegetables, we are fully qualified to know those billionaires. ”

"It is precisely because of the classics of the six-degree division theory that our social networks can spread so quickly. Of course, it is precisely because the six degrees of division are built in the real world that the social networking platform of Friends.com is more attractive than other Internet platforms......

Professor Harry continued to explain to the students the theoretical basis of the Friends Network.

Of course, he still has some regrets.

They had a student at Harvard University who was doing social networking, and it was very successful at the time.

It's a pity that after the advent of Friends.com, this site has been in jeopardy.

That's not what he's going to think about, though, is it?

......

"Mr. Chen, we stole vegetables and sold the 5th level 6 dog. ”

"Oh, are they all advertised?"

"Not all, there is one who is a real tyrant. ”

Wang Chang excitedly reported to Chen Yu.

Before, she once felt that Chen Yu was crazy about money, but now that she looks at it, her own cognition is not enough.

No, a local tyrant bought a level 6 dog.

Or you have to ask why this local tyrant would buy it?

No why?

I'm just rich, I just want to buy it, I'm just showing off my wealth, what's wrong?

Of course, the number of prop dogs sold is not the main thing, although it is also very profitable.

But what Friends really cares about is IP data.

The facts did not disappoint Chen Yu, and the number of IP visits to Friends.com broke a new record that month.

At the same time, their competitor Facebook, saw its IP traffic plummet by 20%.

This is still with the support of Yahoo.

If Yahoo hadn't backed it, it would have been possible for them to fall by 30%.

This also strengthened Chen Yu's confidence on the other hand.

The North American market is not necessarily so complicated, in fact, the North American Internet is the same as the domestic Internet.

In fact, sometimes the domestic Internet is more competitive than the North American Internet.

In the past, many domestic Internet companies had no opportunity and have not been able to enter the North American Internet, let alone the world.

But now, anything is possible.

Think about future generations, in fact, there are many domestic companies that are very creative, even if they are placed abroad, they have strong competitiveness.

Like ByteDance's Douyin, although he has some criticism, the product is really good.

There is also the browser company Cheetah.

These have a large overseas market in later generations.

It's 2005, and in North America, Chen Yu has too many opportunities overseas.

For this reason, Chen Yu also seriously considered it for a while.

Take the North American market, the largest and most important overseas market, for example.

The most important Internet companies in the North American market are Yahoo, Google, AOL, YouTube, Amazon, and eBay.

But if anything, Yahoo will die in the future, and in the end it will only have a market value of several billion dollars.

As for AOL, just look at the name, he is a local portal, and he has something like Sina.

The video site YouTube is not bad, but its strength is also average.

The comparison is Amazon vs Google.

However, whether it is Amazon or Google, Chen Yu has a network of friends.

As long as he expands his friend network, the international e-commerce market and the search market, he can completely drive a tank army to overwhelm it.

Of course, there's also an instant messaging market in there.

At present, the instant messaging used by users in North America is MSN and oicq.

But in fact, both MSN and OICQ will be surpassed by latecomers in North America.

As soon as the mobile Internet appeared, these were almost all hung up.

Thinking about it like this, Chen Yu suddenly felt that these North American Internet giants did not seem to be very powerful.

Competing with them, Chen Yu felt that they were late to the domestic Sina.

If it weren't for Chen Yu's always being calm, Chen Yu would not have been able to fuck them directly.

However, Chen Yu also knows that his roots in North America are not strong for the time being.

If you want to enter the North American market, you must first build a solid network of friends.

Immediately, Chen Yu instructed Wang Chang again: "Wang Chang, we can't just have one game of stealing vegetables. You know, a game doesn't have a long lifespan. ”

"Mr. Chen, I understand this. ”

Wang Chang nodded.

In the end, Wang Chang, who has been mixed in China, how did Huanyu Technology come out, and how could Wang Chang not know.

He has a life cycle for online games that are popular in China, and Huanyu Technology's online games are okay, while some of the games of other companies are often hung up in a year or two. Some of them can't even survive for a year or two, half a year, or three months.

The game of stealing vegetables is inherently flawed.

Although he is very popular now, when the novelty of many users passes, everyone will not be interested in stealing food.

In fact, the Hereafter will be the same.

From stealing vegetables to almost everyone not playing, it only took a year or two.

In such a short period of time, it was too late for Kaixin.com to make a transformation, and the stealing of vegetables was hung up like this.

"I've set up a games department that specializes in developing games. ”

"It's not enough for us to develop it ourselves. ”

Chen Yu shook his head: "Although we can develop it ourselves, we dare to guarantee that the game we develop will be popular?"

"Mr. Chen, you mean, we only do platforms?"

"Yes. ”

Chen Yu said with certainty: "Although Friends.com is a social networking site, it is also a huge platform. We have such a model in our YY game in China, we regard YY game as a small game platform, and we work together with all small game software developers, so our YY game has become the first in the industry, and no one can surpass it. ”

"Yes, Mr. Chen, I know how to do it. ”

Sometimes it's actually easy to do the Internet.

With the mature experience of Huanyu Technology in China, Wang Chang can completely replicate these models in North America.
