Chapter 206: Talk to ***?

"Hype is a science, not a clown-style sensationalism, but an event that can have an impact on the whole society and attract the whole people to discuss. ”

Jack's sitting posture was meticulous, "Is it like the homecoming dinner incident planned by Lin in Huaxia?"

Lin Fan smiled, "That's actually a hype for the company itself, we want to target the Twitter product itself, we want to make users pay attention to this software and use this software." Besides, the two countries have different national conditions, and it is obvious that the successful example of China cannot be transferred to the United States. ”

"So what?" asked Stone, another co-founder of Twitter.

"The United States is a country of free speech, and we can use some international events to trigger discussion and use Twitter as a platform for discussion, such as the United States increasing its troops in Iraq in January, what is the reason for President Bush's decision? What will Iraq think? What will the people think?"

"I think Lin's proposal is great, we could have a national discussion where everyone's comments will be seen by others, and everyone can agree or discu......ss," Williams gushed.

Lin Fan thinks it's not bad, Williams is worthy of being the one who invented the blog, and this remark has already taken the form of some Weibo likes.

"I'm against it, Twitter shouldn't be in any political time, we can't let it spread and talk about it, it's not just a matter of the FBI coming to the door, it's going to put a stamp on Twitter, after all, it's the first time we've started hyping on a large scale, and the content of the first hype is important. ”

Lin Fan didn't care, Jack was very principled, he already knew, he had to joke, "Then Russian President Putin's angry speech in Munich in February is not needed?"

Jack gave Lin Fan an apologetic look, but Williams spoke, "Jack, we are doing socializing, social networking is an extension of people's thoughts on the Internet, and your refusal is to stifle ideas." And the company is developing all the time, and Pepsi will establish a new brand image every time it is promoted, and we can learn from it. ”

"It's not a matter of changing the image of the company, it's that I'm not going to let Twitter have anything to do with politics. Jack stuttered a little, but the spit out word by word at the moment was very deterrent.

Jack and Williams met their gaze in the air, not giving in to each other. Lin Fan quietly watched all this on the side, this is the difference between the two business philosophies, Williams is willing to give up something for the development of the company, Jack still insists on his original dream, one is rational, the other is emotional, can't tell right or wrong, but the result of his previous life is that Twitter was permanently blocked from entering by Huaxia because of politically inappropriate remarks, and Jack was also driven away by Williams and Stone.

But in this world, Lin Fan is the largest shareholder, and as long as he wants, Jack will always be the CEO. The contradiction between the three Lin Fan did not intend to insert, this was a problem that Jack needed to solve.

"Jack, you're making the company miss an opportunity to grow. ”

Jack's face flushed, "I'm the CEO, you can't change the decisions I make." ”

Williams and Stone's faces were ugly for a while, but Jack regretted it a little, he was not good at words, he felt a little inappropriate when he said this, but before he could explain, Williams got up directly, "Executive, I support all your decisions." ”

"Me too. ”

The two of them said goodbye and left directly, what they just said was unbearable for the two of them, in terms of age, prestige, and qualifications, which of the two of them is not better than Jack, but Jack's skills are stronger.

Jack leaned back in his chair a little dazed and confused, "How did this happen?"

"You do things casually, you don't like money, you don't like to talk loudly, you like to think, you're different from other people, so I think you're right, and other people are a lot worse than you. But it was Lin Fan who saw Jack's emotional loss and couldn't help but say words of encouragement.

The expression on Jack's face was still very dazed, as if he couldn't think of what look to express his feelings, "The three of us started a business together, because of the dream to come together, I never thought that the person I know best would be Lin You." ”

"Because I have a clear conscience and no selfishness, nothing can affect my judgment, and I can look at you and your decisions more objectively. ”

Jack smiled, but he didn't want to keep talking about it, he didn't like talking about people behind his back. "Let's talk about the growth of Twitter, which has only grown our users to more than two million at five million dollars, which is far from our goal. ”

Lin Fan likes the word us very much, which means that the two of them have the same dream, they are comrades-in-arms and like-minded people, "Jack, I have another opinion here, do you want to hear it?"

Jack saw the look in Lin Fan's eyes at a glance, and he subconsciously remembered the magic of his investor, "It won't be as bad as just now, right?"

"I learned the news after I came to the United States, the presidential election in the United States is about to begin, not long ago a member of the Democratic Party Berak Hussein Obama announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States in 08, if Twitter can become Obama's official propaganda platform on the Internet, this will be a very good propaganda for Twitter. ”

Jack was a little confused, he subconsciously remembered that he went to Yanjing to find Lin Fan to invest, Lin Fan said to him, if one day Twitter can intervene in the US election, Twitter will be the most successful social tool, is it going to be done now? Will it be too fast?

"Lin, what you said is very tempting, but I don't think the other party will accept it. "And even if the other side accepts, a person who has not yet obtained the consent of the national representatives within the Democratic Party, I don't think he has the possibility of becoming president, then it will only be a waste of our efforts." ”

Lin Fan gave a thumbs up, "For the first question, I only have one sentence, whether we know the result or not, what we have to do is to let things develop towards the result we expect." Jack nodded, agreeing with Lin Fan's statement. Of course, the reason why Lin Fan is so sure is because in his previous life, when Obama was running for president, he used Twitter as an online propaganda tool.

"The second question, I don't think you have read the information of this Mr. Obama, he is a black man, if he is elected, he will be the first black president in the history of the United States, I think you know the meaning of this, we need to bet, bet on Obama success!"

Lin Fan swore that he was convinced, and Jack was moved, he didn't dare to think about the outcome of the bet, not only the development of Twitter, but also the possibility of gaining the friendship of a future president, and he could also think that the current presidential candidate did not have many supporters......

After a few moments, Jack looked up and smiled, "Lin, you're really suitable to be a propaganda minister in the presidential campaign......
