After reading the situation in the disaster area on Weibo, Ren Pingsheng first changed his flight, he no longer returned to Hanhai, but bought the latest direct flight to Yanjing.

Then, Ren Pingsheng immediately dialed Wang Xing, who was far away in Yanjing, and explained these things to him.

1. Weibo immediately entered a "wartime state of emergency", all staff canceled their vacations, and all staff went to work in place to deal with the "512" earthquake.

2. Set up a #512 earthquake disaster relief topic, gather all Weibo from the Shuchuan disaster area under this topic, and push it to all bloggers at full speed.

3. Notify the employees of Weibo Jinguan City Branch, organize media interviewers and civil rescue forces, and go to Yingxiu Town, Wenchuan City, where @秀秀 users are located, to find their whereabouts.

4. In the name of Weibo, take the initiative to contact national charitable organizations such as the Red Cross and the China Charity Federation to provide media support for the rescue and emergency response of the 512 earthquake.

Wang Xing, who was far away in Yanjing, was obviously also paying attention to the development of the 512 earthquake, and he told Ren Pingsheng that the emergency mechanism had been activated first, and all the staff on Weibo had been in place to work overtime. Next, he will follow Ren Pingsheng's instructions.

Ren Pingsheng praised Wang Xing with satisfaction, and then he called several companies under his own command and made corresponding arrangements for them. He also made a phone call to Wang Shi, Pan Shiyi, Feng Lun, Liu Qiangxi and others, and these old friends in the business world were all very face-saving and promised to contribute their own strength to the earthquake relief.

After doing these work, Ren Pingsheng's plane also arrived, before stepping on the plane, he called Gao Yuanyuan, and explained to her the reason for his change of itinerary, Gao Yuanyuan was as understanding as ever, she was very supportive of what Ren Pingsheng did at the moment, and said that she would assist Ren Pingsheng in Hanhai City to carry out earthquake relief work.

After the plane took off, Ren Pingsheng was temporarily cut off from the means of contact with the outside world, and at this moment he was almost like the people in the disaster area, looking forward to restoring communication as soon as possible.

However, Ren Pingsheng still had to wait in the cloud for two and a half hours.

......

When Ren Pingsheng was still flying, Weibo was already in full swing.

Under the rapid response of Wang Xing's team, #512大地震抗灾救援已经成为当前微博上最为热门的话题, the news of the Wenchuan disaster area continued to spread through Weibo.

Compared with @秀秀发's first Weibo in the disaster area, the follow-up Weibo information is more complete and richer.

Not only text, but also pictures and videos......

Although the hardware conditions of mobile devices in 2008 are not very high, the information conveyed is very valuable and shocking.

All kinds of broken eaves, all kinds of mountain collapses, all kinds of casualties, this kind of images that used to be only seen in Hollywood disaster movies, but now they are happening vividly around them, and these victims are all yellow-skinned, black-eyed Chinese people, all compatriots with common blood and common cultural traditions, which further deepens the sorrow and sympathy of everyone who witnessed the disaster in the earthquake area.

At the same time, there are still only a few lagging pictures and figures in the news programs of China Television and major TV stations, and other traditional media are even more dry-eyed, with only a bunch of editorial staff and reporters, but they cannot enter the earthquake area for interviews.

Because the power of the 512 earthquake is too great, not only all the communication facilities in Wenchuan County, which is located in the center of the earthquake area, have been damaged, but even the road into the earthquake area has been cracked and collapsed by the earthquake waves, and no land transportation can be used.

As a new generation of social media, Weibo's unique advantages are evident at this moment.

As long as the survivors in the earthquake area can use Weibo, as long as the survivors have a little network signal in the area where the survivors are located, they can transmit the situation in the disaster area they know from all angles through Weibo, coupled with the special hotspots provided by Weibo for 512, the information will soon spread throughout Weibo.

The most important thing about journalism is timeliness.

In this major event that shocked the whole country, Weibo's advantages were brought into full play, not only in terms of reaction time, but also in terms of reporting content and timeliness surpassed traditional media.

Although the information generated spontaneously by these users has not been professionally processed, and appears to be somewhat crude and casual, they are fresh, first-hand, reports from the earthquake-stricken areas.

In the Internet era, the dissemination of information will naturally move closer to hot spots.

The unique advantage of Weibo in the 512 report quickly spread throughout the Internet, and in the context of the lack of more information from the traditional media, countless citizens who paid attention to the earthquake opened Weibo one after another, followed and browsed the latest news uploaded on Weibo.

At this special moment, Weibo has become the most trusted media among the people.

......

After the plane landed, Ren Pingsheng immediately rushed to the headquarters of Weibo.

Sitting in the "war room" of Weibo's headquarters, Ren Pingsheng's senior management team gathered around him.

This "war room" is designed according to the requirements of Ren Pingsheng, specially designed to deal with breaking news events and major public events, although Weibo is still a very young start-up company, but has accumulated rich media experience through the "fight against the snow disaster", this "war room" is like the news center of traditional media, can bring together the current news and events of various channels, and provide first-hand intelligence and information for managers to make decisions.

In the spacious and translucent all-glass hall, opposite a media wall composed of more than 30 LCD screens, at the end of a long table sat Ren Pingsheng, the chairman of the Weibo company, and the rest of the Weibo members sat on both sides of the long table, watching the constantly updated news reports while waiting for the commander at the end of the long table to give orders.

Ren Pingsheng sat at the end of the long table, frowning at the scrolling reports on the media wall.

After Weibo was ahead for two and a half hours, traditional media reports finally caught up with Weibo's pace, and the real scene of the earthquake area began to appear on TV screens.

"At 20:00, the Abba detachment of the WJ Shuchuan Corps has set off for the Wenchuan disaster area. ”

At 20:02, two Il-76 military transport planes of the Air Force took off from Yanjing Nanyuan Airport to transport 175 people from the National Earthquake Rescue Team to the disaster area. ”

At 22:00, two Il-76 military transport planes carrying China's National Earthquake Emergency Rescue Team arrived in Chengdu one after another. ”

......

The constant scrolling of messages proves one thing.

What happened in Wenchuan touched the hearts of the people of the whole country and the hearts of the country and the government.

The whole country shook, and all the people were united.

Everyone's eyes are focused on the disaster area, everyone's hearts are worried about the victims, and everyone's strength is working on the side of earthquake relief.

State leaders immediately issued important instructions calling for the rescue of the wounded as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the lives of the people in the disaster-stricken areas, and personally rushed to the disaster-stricken areas to guide the disaster relief work.

Under the rapid response and wise leadership of the government, the entire state apparatus has been mobilized, countless rescue forces have been sent to the earthquake area, a steady stream of relief materials are being transported to the disaster area, and volunteers from all walks of life have also asked to go to Wenchuan for earthquake relief.

After a few hours of poor media information, in the face of the situation of national earthquake relief, what can Weibo do and what needs to be done?

The answer to everything is waiting for the man in the "war room" to be revealed.

Looking at the expectant gaze of the Weibo team, Ren Pingsheng's face was like water, and he spoke in a heavy voice.
