Instagram will be a social software that will become popular all over the world in the future. It's even overshadowing Twitter. Less than a month after its launch, the number of downloads from users has exceeded 100,000 without any publicity.

Two years later, internet giant Facebook will spend $715 million to buy the two-year-old company. Since then, this social software has embarked on the fast track of rapid development, and its rise is unstoppable.

Unlike Weibo, a company as large as Weibo with hundreds of employees, Instagram is a small company with only a dozen people, and the software's interface is rudimentary, and its only function is that users can share captured images on the Internet anytime, anywhere.

But it is with this creative design that it has become popular all over the world.

The success of Instagram even made the social media giant Facebook feel a huge threat for a while, and since it can't kill you, it can only buy you.

Liu Yun knows very well that the general direction of Instagram's trajectory line, whether he participates in it or not, will not change. In two years' time, Facebook will most likely start an acquisition of Instagram.

At that time, whether Liu Yun will sell his stake to Facebook will have to wait two years before making a decision.

This investment, just like his original investment in Riot and Under Armour, is to strike first to win a potentially high-quality product.

Liu Yun vaguely remembers that Instagram was removed from the shelves in China in 2014, which is still a long time away, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

After putting down the phone, he took a break in the office and left the company.

......

It's almost the end of the year, and the penguins are launching their >

is completely different from the previous life, at that time, there was only one extremely simple Feixin for them to imitate before WeChat, so when WeChat first came out, it was not a smooth journey, and it also encountered many problems.

But this time it's different, Youxin is in the front, and even once erected a benchmark in the field of mobile terminal and instant messaging, which also makes Brother Pony and his >

"Yes, that's how it was designed. In the R&D room, Brother Xiao Ma half-bent over and stared at the computer screen, constantly pointing, "Everyone, if our WeChat wants to gain a firm foothold in the market, it is not required to exceed Youxin, but it must not be too much worse than the other party." After all, the other party is the first to come, and has already seized the opportunity, and we must pay more if we want to succeed. ”

For this product, Xiao Ma Ge did not assign the management to be responsible, but chose to go down in person.

With a keen sense of smell, he realized that this might be the penguin's last chance, if this battle was lost again. They may be held down forever.

Penetrating into various industries and fields in the Internet and achieving the Penguin Empire has always been the future of Tencent.

But at this moment, although he didn't mention it to anyone, he finally felt a little shaken in his heart.

In almost every link, Yoyo was one step ahead of himself, and blocked in front of him, blocking the reason for moving forward.

However, at the turn of the millennium, Brother Xiao Ma and Tencent have experienced the most difficult years.

The storms and waves of these dark years have survived, and this difficulty is nothing in his eyes.

"Mr. Ma, we set the WeChat wallet in this position, which will be very similar to the location of Youxin's YOYO wallet, which is ...... Are you alright?" said the penguin technician, with some concern.

"It's okay, as I mean it. Brother Pony's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and his tone was extremely resolute, "Youxin has a good place, we must ...... Reference. This helps our products to gain a foothold in the market. ”

The biggest difference between the two products is in the wallet system.

YOYO wallet is common to all products in the entire Yoyo system, but Xiao Ma already has a QQ wallet, and he realized that his assistant was a little resistant to WeChat, and he launched a new > with a pat on the thigh At this moment, he embodied the decisiveness of being at the helm, and even the resoluteness of a strong man with a broken wrist.

Brother Pony also understands that when he is ready to launch, he is no longer the only one. He needs WeChat to seize the mobile market and compete with Youyou.

Zhang Zhidong on the side stood with a complicated face, he had a feeling that QQ was no longer the most special one in the penguin system, and it might even become a >

Just now, Brother Xiao Ma told him that in the middle of the month, and the QQ address book import plan will be arranged after the Spring Festival, that is, in mid-February.

Of course, he didn't want QQ to become a stepping stone for WeChat, and he was dumped by the other party when he ran out, so he asked at the time: "Is it useful to use QQ contacts to drain traffic?" The positioning of WeChat and Youxin is a relatively private instant messaging software. A mobile phone address book almost meets your needs for all your friends to add, so is QQ address book meaningful?"

Brother Xiao Ma replied: "Do you think there is a better way? ”

Zhang Zhidong asked again: "Mr. Ma, what do you think?"

Brother Xiao Ma said meaningfully: "Walking on two legs is the safest." ”

Since the boss has made up his mind, he can't stop him, so he can only fully cooperate. But he could already vaguely smell the smell of gunpowder.

......

At the end of 2010, the Internet in China could be said to be wonderful.

HUAWEI, XIAOMI, OPPO, AND VIVO HAVE ALL LAUNCHED THEIR OWN SMARTPHONES. Huaxia's Android market suddenly became very lively.

Yanjing, Xiaomi mobile phone press conference.

Rebus, who has always been high-profile and is also known as an investment genius, has finally launched the long-awaited first smartphone, the Xiaomi Mi 1, under the spotlight.

Surprisingly, the boss of Yoyo also flew to Yanjing to attend this press conference, for the platform of Rebus.

Such a move fell through the glasses of many people.

Shouldn't you be competitors?

How can there be a reason to give competitors a platform, this is digging their own corners.

However, some netizens said that this is the world of the big guy. If the bigwig's thoughts can be figured out by you ordinary people, then you can also become rich.

At the press conference, Liu Yun kept a shallow smile, but this Rebus was very interested, laughing from time to time, facing the crowd of onlookers, as well as media reporters taking pictures, and blurted out from time to time: "Are you ok?"

What made Liu Yun even more mad was that Rebus was satisfied with more than just one word. This guy is like a repeater, repeating this sentence in English.

Every time he said "Are you ok?", the green tendons on Liu Yun's forehead would not be slightly raised, and he really had the urge to spill the cup in his hand towards the top of his head.

Xiaomi's first smartphone may have finally fulfilled Rebus's long-cherished wish, and his interest in the whole conference has been very high.

Rebus will have a smile on his face wherever he goes, and this kind of optimistic personality actually makes Liu Yun a little envious. After all, there is a saying that people who love to laugh are not too unlucky.

He felt that his smile, many times squeezed out, was not as natural as Rebus's smile.

Retracting his thoughts, Liu Yun glanced down, and there were many reporters today. According to the agreement, he will accompany Rebus to the next press conference.
