The sudden outbreak made Cork an alternative star. Not through representative works, but through the Internet. and has become a world-renowned figure: the old king next door. This is also the name given by Zhou Shi out of bad taste.

I don't know if this is Zhou Shi's achievement of Cork or Cork made Zhou Shi, in the face of such an achievement, Zhou Shi just gave Cork a bonus of 1 million. The CW television network also interviewed and reported on him, and his identity as an actor was also widely known. It's a pity that the first season of The Big Bang Theory has ended, and he can't be allowed to go up and make a cameo. And Huang Bai's spoken language is not good, and some talk shows can't be on.

"Brother Bai, I suggest that you learn English as soon as possible, preferably with a New York accent, although it may not be useful, but in case according to my experience, only you wait for the opportunity, and you must not let the opportunity wait for you. If you still have ideals, you must work harder, acting is the foundation, language is the basic condition!" Zhou Shi said earnestly

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I will definitely work hard. "Cork

"Also, don't swell, your popularity this time lacks a foundation, and you still need to work your own"

"I know" Cork

In fact, Zhou Shi is not very worried, after all, Huang Bai in his previous life also had a high emotional intelligence, but he was worried that he was not mature now, so he had to be reminded.

By the end of November,

The popularity has also dropped, and more than a month of super consumption has made many people a little disgusted.

The growth of individual companies has also slowed down and stabilized. The time has also come to consolidate the gains. Time Friends saw the largest drop in active users, with less than 5 million daily active users, and counting. The development of Twitter and YouTube is very stable, one is a channel for information diffusion, and the other is a video distribution center. The strong user demand has not allowed them to drop too much, and it is only 25% at most compared to the peak. Unlike Time Friends, the drop is more than half.

The main thing is that the friends of time are short of money. The investment of 30 million US dollars is not much, but for the European market and the market of major English-speaking countries in the world, Time Friends has invested a lot of money, and the war is chaotic, and the abnormal loss is also very large.

The internal compliance department has also begun to exert efforts, and at this time, all employees who are corrupt will be severely punished. In this case, corruption shows that those people don't care about the company at all, as long as they have money to earn. There is no need to show mercy to them.

Baidu Alibaba's employees have also integrated into the new team, and everyone has summed up their experience together, absorbed their excellent management experience, and improved their management culture. However, some people are reluctant to go abroad, and some people want to go abroad, and these things still need to be adjusted.

Twitter and YouTube have set a strategy of not actively expanding, but will make every effort to consolidate the results. The most important thing for the friend network is to stop the downward trend of daily active users, and what is the point of a social networking site where no one participates. Moreover, the market situation at home and abroad is different, and the understanding of law and patents is different, so it is not a good thing that too many domestic employees are flooded overseas. The difference between the domestic market and the foreign market is too great, and a lot of experience cannot be used. But the most important thing is the re-assembling of the growth team. It cannot be overemphasized that a good growth team can contribute to the development of a business.

In addition to the South American market, the Middle East and Africa, and the former Soviet Union, other places have been occupied. South America will certainly have an American branch, and the Middle East and Africa, as well as Russian-speaking regions, may be localized. Although there are still many questions, the most important thing now is the financing of the American Friends Network. How will the management of the company change if the original company continues to invest proportionally, or if it finds a new venture capital company and introduces other investors?

didn't give him much time to hesitate, and I don't know where they heard that Friends.com was going to raise money, Sequoia, IDG, Jingwei, Jiyuan Capital, etc. came to the door. Kleiner Perkins is in China, and Lehman USA doesn't seem to recognize the friend network.

Facebook has only just opened for registration, with about 50 million users. There are also many more active users than Friends, and compared to Facebook, the development of Friends.com is really nothing. But when you think about the speed of the development of the friend network, it is simply a miracle.

After thinking about it for a long time, everyone still gave up looking for new venture capital, and now the network of friends is almost a mess, and all kinds of relationships have not been handled well, and overseas branches have also been handled. Another due diligence will delay the friend network for a lot of time.

The Dutch sandwich that Zhou Shi originally envisioned was not suitable for a small business of their size. Without so many talents and resources, it is difficult to design a plan and implement it. In addition, there is the problem of cost, and I want to avoid taxes before I start making money, and I don't know how to laugh at it if I am known.

After submitting some detailed information of the company and the financing plan submitted by Galaxy Capital to Time Friends, sure enough, no one from those venture capitalists was tempted. Baidu and Ali were very interested, Zhou Shi did not hide from them, and gave them some information inside the company, Robin Lee gave up, Ma Ali continued, Galaxy Capital and Alibaba Group invested a total of 15 million US dollars, and obtained 10% of the non-voting shares.

Friends with funds in hand can settle down to develop steadily, recruit personnel, improve technical level, and maintain the security and stability of the website and a good user experience.

Now the largest social networking site in the United States is myspace, the contradiction between Zhou Shi and Zach is not big, the boss is still there, and the second and third can't fight. However, the style of Facebook and Friends is very similar, and it may cause internal friction in the long run, and differentiated competition is still necessary. Unfortunately, there is no suitable candidate, and it would be nice if Zuckerberg could be misled into the path.

Shirley was also taken aback by the big development of YouTube, and finally made up her mind to join Friends.com in January 2007. Zhou Shi was also wondering if to pry Shirley, the key figure who made Facebook's rise, into the YouTube pipe, so that Mark Zuckerberg's luck was greatly reduced, and then Zhou Shi's luck skyrocketed, which led to the rapid growth of his company in November. The more I think about it, the more I think it's possible, but after thinking about it carefully, I don't think it's right, write it down like this, then won't this book become a fantasy?

Although he does not write fantasy, Zhou Shi still decided to increase the collection of talents from Microsoft, Apple, and Google. I've heard a saying before that when someone from a big company leaves, a new person will soon be added to fill in, which is still very powerful. This may be the reason why the strong are always strong, they can hoard a large number of talents, even if these talents cannot fully exert their talents for a lifetime, these large companies also make money, because this can limit the development of other opponents in the future, killing people invisibly.
