San Francisco Airport.

Looking out of the porthole of the plane, the blue sky and the colors of the ocean are merging at the end of the horizon on the coast of California, where the Mediterranean climate reigns, and as the cool summer passes, it is about to usher in the rainy season, and in the distance, the background color of rain clouds, has begun to float in the mirror-like depths of the ocean.

"Yahoo is reaching out to us, and it looks like they're interested in our rectangular ads, would you like to reach out and see the offer?"

On the phone in his ear, Zuckerberg said the news he had just gotten, Ahn Jun-hyuk retracted his gaze, groaned, and replied:

"Don't bother with it for the time being, when I interviewed a few days ago, the pie I drew seems to have worked, but it hasn't reached the ideal situation yet, and now our task is to compete for users, and we don't have to worry about the rest. ”

In an interview with the San Jose Courier a few days ago, Ahn Jun-hyuk gave a positive response to the "News Feed" question, saying that in his eyes it is not just an open tool, and then instructed the company's employees to disclose it to the outside world, telling the outside world that in the latest internal "Show.Time" meeting, he circled the topic on content mining and marketing, which are all creating a false impression that Facebook is trying to find a new advertising model.

Of course, commercial lies are often all true, whether Yahoo, Microsoft, Google, any of the three rectangular advertising giants take a closer look at the "News Feed" function, and you will be shocked to find that this open tool that Ahn Junhyuk previously talked about. As Facebook's user base grows, it has gradually gathered a huge flow of information.

To be honest, Ahn Joon-hyuk was against the "News Feed" feature at first, and its operation involved the sensitive issue of privacy after all, and it wasn't until Mark tested it on the internal test page that he saw its potential, and for that, he didn't even care about privacy issues.

Even Mark didn't know that he realized his ideal gadget, think about it from a different angle. How terrifying it can be!

Each user's activity is displayed on it. This includes what websites they visit, what news they watch, what they buy, and what comments they make...... As long as it's a site that has a partnership with Facebook. can get information feedback. Then get viewers of the dynamic page to click through to watch.

Sort of. With the help of this feature, every user can become a salesman and a potential consumer. are other users who are browsing that user's activity page!

At present, Facebook has 8 million users, and theoretically, through "News Feed" they can become 8 million salesmen and 8 million consumers - although this result is only a theoretical derivation, we cannot ignore the huge business opportunities contained in the information flow it is connected to, the only question is how to tap this business opportunity from the information flow!

Ahn Jun-hyuk still has only one vague idea in this regard, and in addition, there are also constraints in technique and algorithms, which is destined to not be able to complete this goal for the time being, but it does not prevent him from revealing the news. Microsoft is not a fool, neither is Google and Yahoo, don't underestimate the intelligence of your opponents, everyone understands, even if you can't do it for the time being? As long as you have an idea, then the technology will eventually be realized one day, just like Google, when it began to realize the huge role of keywords in the search field, a multi-billion dollar annual super enterprise was born.

Yahoo has proven that in Internet companies, vision equals 50% success.

This truth has never been broken, and now it has become the recognized standard for Internet companies in the world.

But for Facebook, News Feed is more of a poison at the moment, and once the internet giants discover its potential – like Yahoo, which is on the verge of decay and desperately needs a bright future – they will throw all their concerns behind and can't wait to get their cuts and forks ready to swallow the pie!

Of course, danger also means opportunity, and Ahn Junhyuk took the initiative to expose it, which is to seize this opportunity. When he articulated his idea to the outside world, when people began to appreciate the potential of "News Feed", the temptation of Facebook became unprecedented, and it was no longer just Yahoo that paid attention to it, but countless locusts gathered in it, Wall Street, Microsoft, Google, ...... No one of them can resist such a temptation, when they begin to reach out in unison, the wolf has more meat and less meat, the offense and defense are transpositioned, and the initiative is in the hands of Facebook!

In Ahn Jun-hyuk's thinking, it will be a dangerous game of sitting left and right in the cracks, sitting and watching the snipe and clam fight.

His thoughts have already been told to Zuckerberg, so the other party also understands, listening to him talk about this, there was a moment of silence, and then said: "Ann, is this really okay?"

"Of course there are problems, but they can't be avoided just because they are. Ahn Jun Hyuk smiled, "We have already talked about this matter, with the development of Facebook, the business opportunities of information flow will not be hidden for long, instead of being passive at that time, it is better for us to strike first, only by watching them fight to the death, we can survive, you don't want us to be annexed, right?"

On the other end of the line, Zach sighed, but quickly, he became firm: "Of course not." ”

"So, just look at it, we don't do anything, just focus on users, the more users, the more fragrant we are, and they will be willing to pay more and more time to fight...... What we lack is time, and as long as there is enough time, Mark, one day, we won't have to look at their faces anymore. ”

"I see, I just don't know who the winner is......" Zuckerberg smiled wryly.

Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't answer, who can say this kind of thing?

While the two were talking, a flight attendant squatted down next to Ahn Jun-hyuk and reminded softly, "Sir, the plane is about to take off, can you please turn off your mobile phone?"

"Oh, what a ......"

Ahn Junhyuk agreed, and explained again, then turned off the phone, the flight attendant smiled gratefully at him, Ahn Junhyuk nodded and responded slightly, and the other party got up to leave, but just after taking a few steps, he heard her low exclamation.

Not long after, on the side of the first-class flight attendant room, there were faint whispers such as "It's Ahn Joon Hye'......", as well as the youthful laughter of young girls.

…… It seems that my reputation in China has been pretty good lately......

Thinking about it, Ahn Jun-hyuk opened a magazine and looked at it idly.

This time back, some things should be solved, J.H Entertainment will continue to split - the new game developed by the game department has received the attention of China's Tencent at the E3 exhibition, and the other party has contacted J.H Entertainment to negotiate the purchase of copyrights, and according to the original promise, the game department can already be independent J.H Entertainment.

Of course, it's not all based on promises, and even if that game doesn't work, he will split the game business and form a new game company.

Just in September, at the first "Show.Time" conference, an engineer at Facebook came up with the idea of an application platform, and he had already written an interface that he envisioned would allow third-party developers to publish their apps on Facebook.

After careful deduction, this idea was identified by Ahn Junhyuk and Zuckerberg as the next strategy of the core of "openness" - open platform!

If the development team is fast enough, this strategy can be initially realized next year, and the knowledge absorption and broadening of horizons in charge of an Internet company for nearly two months have made Ahn Junhyuk's business talent begin to run as fast as a machine with a full tank of oil, and when he decided on an open platform, he set his sights on online games - if you want to achieve multi-party interaction, what application is more suitable than games?

These are not only things, these days in the United States, Sony has been urged many times, if it weren't for Facebook starting to become the darling of the American media, his identity has also risen, Sony may have turned its face long ago.

Accompanying Sony's trip to Japan and Taiwan was the key to J.H Entertainment's international business, and he naturally had to go back to fulfill the contract, and more importantly, J.H and Sony did not have room for cooperation. On the other hand, Facebook also wants to expand its business in Asia, at the end of September, Ahn Joon-hyuk at Facebook's latest board meeting, determined the company's global strategy, as the global CEO, and also served as the president of the Asia-Pacific region.

It's busy season again, and there's not much time to relax!

When the plane roared and took off, and the clouds and mist in the sky began to wrap around the wings and be torn apart, he accidentally raised his head and looked at the top of the flattened horizon below, the hanging sun, the blue void around it that seemed to be eternal and unchanging, Ahn Junhyuk thought.

Moreover, his children are still waiting for him......

Thinking about a photo of Lim so-jing with a big belly from Jisoo two days ago, Ahn Jun-hyuk smiled, his facial lines suddenly softened, and the sun shone on the side face, outlining a faint golden outline.

Not far away, the flight attendant who had spoken to Ahn Jun-hyuk not long ago peeked at all this and quietly blushed.

As Facebook continues to appear in the newspapers in the United States, sparking controversy, topicality, and accumulating achievements, Ahn Jun-hyuk's aura as the leader of this growing new company is also shining more and more, and now in South Korea, his name has almost become the hottest word, just writing it, can detonate people's huge enthusiasm.

For her, who has just joined the work not long ago, because of her good appearance conditions, she was assigned to the first class, and she was excited and excited to meet this legendary star in so many shifts and talk to him in person, even if she didn't chase stars.

Looking at the faint morning sun, the soft smile outlined at the corner of his lips, the young and beautiful girl involuntarily reverie, who did he think of with such an expression?

So I was a little envious...... (To be continued......)
