The rest of the things went smoothly, and Liu Yun directly rented a two-story house in Mountain View City for a total of five years.

The house used to be a Chinese restaurant, but because of the Silicon Valley here, there are too many high-tech companies. These companies either have money or have easy access to financing. The tenants are not bad for money, the rent here is bound to be not low, and combined with the supply-demand ratio, the rent will definitely rise.

But unlike tech companies that get rich overnight, retail and restaurants are industries that are profitable and have a limit on rent, and once the rent rises above the ceiling, restaurateurs can't hold on and have to leave.

As a result, Yoyo finally has a branch overseas, although the house is not big, but the location and location are very satisfactory to him.

After doing this, the two booked a ticket to fly back to Shanghai directly, although it was rare to come to California, USA, he wanted to walk around, but it was not a young woman who came together, but a middle-aged uncle, and Liu Yun was not much interested.

......

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the Yanjing Olympics soon came to an end.

More than a week ago, Liu Yun's Weibo post became a small hit.

At that time, Liu Xiang was injured and unexpectedly retired from the competition, and in order to comfort some crazy netizens, he didn't think much about it, so he posted a slightly comforting Weibo: Don't panic, the first place in the gold medal list is still Huaxia.

Many netizens felt that what Liu Yun said at that time was just an inadvertent joke, but they knew that this had really come true.

Then, as a matter of course, this sentence was pushed to the hot search by enthusiastic netizens and was forwarded by various kinds.

"Mr. Liu, you are simply amazing. ”

"This is a prophet!"

Some netizens ridiculed: "Mr. Liu, ask for the number of the next two-color ball." ”

Someone immediately replied: "Mr. Liu is so rich, can he still see the number of the two-color ball?"

Someone replied: "That is, Liu Yun spent a little time calculating the number, how much more than 5 million came into his pocket?"

The Yenching Olympics are over, and Huaxia unexpectedly won the first place in the gold medal list, far ahead of the United States with 51 golds and 36 golds.

Even the Huaxia delegation said that they never expected that their initial goal was just to keep three and compete for two, and as a result, they became the top of the list by playing at a high level.

After Liu Yun returned to the company, even those management personnel jokingly said: Mr. Liu, I know you are blind, but you are really accurate.

Since then, he has had an additional nickname: God Operator Liu Yun.

Weibo's operation of the Olympics is obviously successful, especially with Liu Yun's prediction of the fire and various prize giveaways, which has further widened the distance between it and Tencent's Weibo.

At this moment, Shencheng, Guangdong Province, Tencent Office.

Brother Xiao Ma is faced with a choice, standing opposite him is the head of Tencent Weibo, Li Dong.

"Xiao Li, do you think the Weibo project should continue?" Xiao Ma made his signature gesture and crossed his hands under his chin.

"Mr. Ma. Li Dong scratched his hair, hesitated, and said, "I think there is still hope for Tencent Weibo to improve." ”

After hearing this, Brother Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Are you sure?"

Li Dong nodded, and said stubbornly: "Further increase the promotion efforts and invite more celebrities to Tencent to open Weibo." Mr. Ma, you see that Jay Chou has not opened Weibo on Youyou's side, why don't we go and invite it?"

"Didn't you come forward to invite you, didn't people bird you?"

"Mr. Ma, why don't you ...... You're going to ask for it?"

Bang~ The always gentle little brother actually slapped the table, indicating that he was very angry at the moment.

"Just by him, a singer, who wants me to come forward in person?"

The boss was angry, and Li Dong lowered his head and didn't dare to gasp.

Brother Xiao Ma didn't seem to be angry, and said: "Let me tell you, Yoyo also beat Jay Chou's idea over there, do you guess what that kid Liu Yun said?"

"What did he say? It must be a strong support, but people are not willing to open it. ”

"Wrong! He said, no need to invite, come if you want to come, don't come and pull down. He also warned the management of Youyou that if he went to invite people in a low voice and opened Weibo, he would still be blocked!"

"Weibo, a huge traffic platform, has given these artists traffic and exposure, and they can also promote themselves, it's good that Lao Tzu didn't ask them for advertising fees!"

For some reason, Brother Xiao Ma admired Liu Yun's attitude.

Both of them are now well-deserved bigwigs of Huaxia Internet, standing at the top of the pyramid.

However, there are some differences between the two, such as Liu Yun's side, not to mention pulling down his face, even his subordinates can't do this, because these management also represent Youyou.

However, Brother Pony loves face, and if his subordinates can achieve their goals for the penguins, losing face is nothing.

He took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Li, if you want to invite Jay Chou, you can figure it out by yourself, it is impossible for me to come forward." Of course, when you invite, you can't lose face with Tencent. Got it?"

Li Dong nodded: "Understood, Mr. Ma." ”

Brother Xiao Ma continued: "As for promotion, my QQ recommendation has been given to Weibo, is not enough? ”

Li Dong felt that the boss was already very dissatisfied with him, so he had to say that after he went back, he would prepare immediately and would give him a satisfactory answer.

"Let's go, let's go!" Brother Pony felt a little upset when he saw him, and waved his hand without trouble.

What Li Dong's mind is, Brother Xiao Ma couldn't understand it better.

This guy has always been a deputy high-level executive, and after being in charge of Tencent's Weibo project this time, he has temporarily become a full-time position.

If Tencent's Weibo project is marginalized, his power and position will be affected by the downgrade, of course, he does not want to see it, so he has been racking his brains to avoid the marginalization of the Weibo project team.

Li Dong, this kid, is far from Zhang Xiaolong's ability!

"Then why did I let it go?" said Little Pony had some regrets.

But he didn't realize that if his subordinates made up their minds to go, even if they didn't agree, it wouldn't help.

Backbite~~

Brother Xiaoma's mobile phone suddenly received a text message, which read: Mr. Ma, starting next month, Zhang Xiaolong's office will be officially transferred from Shanghai to Hangzhou. According to the reliable information I have received, in the coming months, he will still have control over Weibo and will conduct remote command, but next year, due to the agreement between Yoyo and Sina, the person in charge of Weibo's operation will be appointed by Sina.

Brother Xiao Ma thought about it and replied with a message: What is Zhang Xiaolong doing in Hangzhou?

It didn't take long for the text message to come back: it was said to be in charge of some mobile projects, such as building a mobile version of Weibo. Today, the Apple phone has opened the App Store for third-party personnel to upload apps.

Brother Ma also knows about this, and Tencent's project team is also developing QQ based on IOS.

Although the Apple mobile phone has not yet been logged in Huaxia, the users who can study abroad and buy mobile phones are not in bad economic conditions, and Brother Xiao Ma is unwilling to let go of this type of people, presumably Liu Yun also has similar ideas.

Xiao Ma stood up and walked to the side of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down on the bustling scenery of the Shencheng Special Economic Zone from more than ten floors.

Yoyo, even if it is an opponent, it is also a partner.

Between the two companies, there is both competition and cooperation. It's a weird feeling, but over time, Little Pony gets used to it.

The initiator of this model is Liu Yun, but in this circle, more and more people are already realizing the feasibility of this model.

In the Internet, companies are no longer working alone, they are beginning to realize that cooperation and competition can coexist.

For example, all Tencent games can be automatically downloaded and installed in the software manager section of Yoyo Security Guard.

Xiao Ma Ge also obtained a 20% stake in YOYO Voice at a price lower than the market price, at the cost of leaving a recommendation slot for it in the QQ interface.

This swap condition made Tencent give up the idea of developing a browser and computer manager.

Liu Yun unconsciously made this pattern appear on the Internet in China several years in advance.

Knock knock ~ Someone came to Ma Huateng's office again.

He retracted his thoughts and said indifferently, "Please come in!"

Here, it's the financial director of Penguin.

"Xiao Chen, what's the matter?"

The woman known as Xiao Chen said, "Mr. Ma, I have good news for you. The two games, "QQ Speed" and "QQ Dance", hit a new high in revenue in August, both of which have surpassed Yoyo's "Demon Domain". ”

After hearing this, Brother Xiao Ma showed a look of emotion, and hurriedly said excitedly: "This is good news, we are narrowing the distance between us and Youyou." ”

In today's Chinese game market, the situation of the Yoyo family is still unbreakable.

If you only look at revenue, not profit, the first is Warcraft, the second is "Fantasy Journey to the West", the third and fourth are "Dungeons and Warriors" and "Crossfire" respectively, the fifth is "Dragon Babu", the sixth is "Zhu Xian", and the seventh is "Demon Domain".

Yoyo's strength lies in the fact that there are not many games, but all of them are popular boutiques. Among the top seven online games, they alone occupy 6.

Now, due to Tencent's strong promotion capabilities, it has attracted many original players of "Running Kart" and "Audition", and the income of the two games in their hands has continued to increase, surpassing "Demon Domain", ranking seventh and eighth respectively, and "Demon Domain" has also slipped to ninth place.

Of course, these small changes are insignificant for a game empire as large as Yoyo, but for Penguin and Pony, it is enough to be an exciting result.

At the very least, he could catch his breath a little.

In October, Aion officially entered into open beta.

He also has two hole cards in his hand, "QQ Warrior" and "QQ Fireline".

By next year, Tencent's game market share should be able to surpass NetEase, and then it will be a battle between them and Yoyo.

As for Weibo...... , if Li Dong's kid can take down Jay Chou and bring some heat, he can give him another two months.

However, this new master of the Heavenly King seems to be difficult to handle, and Yoyo has talked a few times, but he has not negotiated, maybe it is also a relationship that Yoyo is unwilling to pay too much price.

......

Today's Weibo is more and more like Tencent's QQ, a comprehensive social networking site.

There are videos, ads, mini-games, shopping, and links to the starting point Chinese website.

Any netizen can click the button on Weibo, and there will be several recommended books for everyone to choose from, and if there is a balance in the YOYO wallet, you will be able to watch the VIP fee chapter.

Since then, the starting point has the official channel operated by the group itself, and those authors are also happy, because one more channel means that they can have an extra income.

A well-known street forum, Dragon Sky, many authors are praising Yoyo's move, and also said with a little irony: Yoyo and Shanda are really not the same level of company, and the level of operation and management is completely incomparable.

There is also an author's message: The traffic of Weibo is terrifying, I am really looking forward to how much the manuscript fee will increase next month?

Immediately, another author replied: Envy the god upstairs, the promotion of the Weibo interface can be regarded as a very precious channel recommendation, and we small authors estimate that we will have to queue up for a long time.

......

In today's Internet market, in addition to QQ and Weibo, the most popular software is also called Tieba.

Among the paste bars, Warcraft and Emperor Bar are the most popular.

But compared with Weibo and QQ, although it is lively, it has a lot more irritable atmosphere.

These two stickers rely on a lot of people, they explode every day, and they are often on the news, so they are not lively.

Since Tieba and Weibo both belong to the companies jointly built by both parties, the data is interoperable, and they can drain their own heat to each other, and the two sides have formed a good complementarity.

Baidu, the owner of Tieba, implemented a policy of commercialization of Tieba more than three months ago.

On the evening of August 31, a post appeared in Warcraft Bar.

The owner of the post is a sick user, because he trusts Baidu's reputation, he consulted some questions in an officially certified medical post bar, and then went to a targeted hospital according to their advice.

As a result, tens of thousands of yuan were spent, and the condition not only did not improve, but also worsened.

He decided to expose the matter on the Internet, and the post attracted the attention of countless netizens as soon as it was released

In just one night, the post has already broken tens of thousands of retweets and comments.

On the morning of September 1, reports of this post appeared on many portals, and Tieba began to delete posts frantically, but the hot searches on Weibo were one after another.

Baidu has a stake in Weibo, but it doesn't have the right to operate it, and the people on Baidu's side called Yoyo, hoping to cancel all the hot searches about the patient.

"Mr. Liu, do you want to delete it?" Zhang Xiaolong was a little older, he encountered such a problem in the last few days of the Shanghai market.

If it is deleted, Yoyo will also be involved in a storm of public opinion.

The Chinese people's aversion to false medical information can be described as hatred to the core, which Liu Yun deeply understands.

Isn't that what you were like in your previous life?

But how did this day come so early?

Liu Yun's plan is to start next year and slowly break off the relationship with Baidu, but this is only 2008, and it broke out in advance.

Because of the data exchange between Weibo and Tieba, each other has received more drainage, because the commercialization of Weibo has received a lot of advertising fees, and Baidu has also moved the idea of commercialization in advance, and the pace is very big.

Liu Yun took a deep breath, his eyes moved slightly, and said, "We will not cancel any hot searches. ”
