"Hmm. "Top Novel, x."

Seeing Xia Xiaotian poking out half of his head, Zhang Fan looked at the time on his mobile phone: 11:40 p.m., and said with a smile: "You get along well with Miss Chiba, right?" ”

"Chiba is very good!"

Xia Xiaotian squeezed into the door and said with a smile: "She draws super fast, and she can draw me a cartoon of me and Dabai in a few strokes." She also said that I look like a comic book character and that she could add me to Super Marines if she could! ”

"Sure enough, like gathers like." Zhou Yang grabbed Zhang Fan's shoulders and got up and said, "You guys get along well, I have a hunch: you will become good friends." ”

Zhang Fan recalled 'the scene where Chiba Xiaomei mistook him and Zhou Yang at the beginning', and thought of 'Xia Xiaotian had lied that he was his twin cousin: hot in summer', and looked at Xia Xiaotian meaningfully and nodded.

"Yes, you'd better ask her, maybe she's your long-lost 'twin cousin'."

"Hahaha......" Zhou Yang laughed and walked out of the office with Zhang Fan shoulder to shoulder.

Behind the two, although Xia Xiaotian also followed the 'smirk', he didn't understand what the two leading brothers meant.

I thought to myself, "Do I look alike to Xiaomei?" Won't you? The boss means: Say I'm just as 'okay' as Xiaomei, right? It's kind of like that, hee-hee......"

……

Approaching 12 o'clock, Xinghuo Dabai began a relaxed lunch time, and the TAC team also had a simple lunch in the studio at the invitation of Zhang Fan.

At more than 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Fan came to Wangjiang Hotel with the Japanese TAC team. After some arrangement, at 2 o'clock, everyone returned to Xinghuo again to discuss the "Sino-Japanese Animation Cooperation".

During his visit to the hotel, Zhang Fan and Kojiro Aota exchanged the idea of 'taking a stake in TAC'.

As for: how much to invest? How much stake does Starfire have in TAC? These are the questions that wait for them to return. Zhang Fan will arrange for the negotiation team to go to Japan with them to negotiate.

Zhang Fan is ready to invest $100 million in the Japanese market. Part of the $100 million was used to invest in TAC companies. Part of it was used for the formation of the 'Japan Sparrow Social Network'.

Qingtian and others heard that Zhang Fan was going to prepare a plan for a social networking company in Japan. and the two ideas of "micro-novel" and "micro-comic" in 'sparrow.com' both express the excitement and excitement of different journeys.

……

Although Japan is now the world's leading mobile and Internet technology powerhouse, it is not as 'diversified' in terms of Internet development as Huaxia Internet.

As Huaxia Internet enters the 'online shopping era', the development of Huaxia Internet has shown unprecedented vitality.

Especially from the "Fireworks Project" and "Flat Design Elements" brought by Zhang Fan last year, as well as the novel 'Internet +' thinking, it is always affecting the Chinese Internet: great changes in design, concept, consumption and other aspects.

This year, the design of major websites of Huaxia Internet has undergone collective adjustments, so that the Internet design elements that originally belonged to 2013 appeared in 09 years in advance.

Driven by Zhang Fan, Huaxia Internet has also shown an unprecedented development posture.

Plus the 'Panda Penguin Internet War' that lasted for more than a month. It has greatly promoted the development of Huaxia Network, and major Internet companies have quickly positioned themselves in the changes brought by Dabai and followed closely.

In contrast, the Internet in Japan is currently like a 'cup full of Coke'.

Since 2002, Japanese Internet companies have ushered in explosive growth, and in just five years, the Japanese have filled up the available space.

Even if Japan continues to invest more technology in making the Internet faster and broadband, it will not be able to change the fact that there is a bottleneck.

At present, the giants of Japanese Internet companies are basically 'post-80s' and 'post-90s'.

The average age of the main people engaged in the Internet industry is between 35 and 40 years old, coupled with Japan's strict corporate social hierarchy. Let the new ideas of young people not interfere with the development of the company.

This is also an important reason for the expansion of Internet content in Japan.

……

However, Japan is still a world leader in the basic field and technology of the Internet. With a solid infrastructure, the number of Internet users in Japan reached 70 million in '08.

In 2008, the size of Japan's e-commerce market reached 6 trillion yen, more than three times that of the current Chinese e-commerce market. In terms of online games, novels, music, payment, shopping and other developments, they are also more perfect than Huaxia.

The only empty space is the 'social network'.

Japan cannot be said to have no social networks, there are many local social networking sites in Japan, and foreign 'Twitter' and 'Facebook' also entered the Japanese market last year, but the actual promotion situation is not very optimistic.

The reason for this is the Japanese 'group mentality'.

In Japan, schools have school clubs, companies have company clubs, and there are countless clubs in the field of anime novels.

Each stage of society in Japan has its own small circle of people who say what they do and what they do together, and if they choose a certain social networking site as a 'camp', they will stay there forever.

Regarding the 'group concept' of his own nation, Kojiro Aota sarcastically called it 'sick herd mentality'.

As he said, the Japanese are like a flock of sheep, instinctively following the masses, lacking their own individuality and opinions.

Bound by various cultures and groups, Japanese people are born like a frightened flock.

Whenever a student changes schools and comes to a new school, they have to try to cater to a certain circle of clubs. Always be wary and fearful of strangers or things.

Therefore, the development of Japanese Internet social culture is very strange, and even a little 'deformed'.

For Zhang Fan's 'sparrow social' thinking, Japanese teams such as Aota, Minako, and Xiaomei all feel that it is very novel and feel that it is very likely to develop in Japan.

First of all, there are 'fan groups' and 'social circles' in Sparrow, which cater to the 'community culture' of the Japanese.

In other words, Sparrow Social is a big platform, and any Japanese community can form its own network club on Sparrow Social Network, and at the same time, it can contact other community groups on the Sparrow platform.

This is tantamount to including them without interfering with Japan's current social system.

The sparrow is a large bird's nest. Each Japanese community is a small bird's nest. Connected but not interfering with each other.

It caters to the Japanese people's desire to socialize. At the same time, the 'social circle' also provides them with the space to form their own associations, creating a sense of security for them.

This is followed by 'micro-novels' and 'micro-comics' within the Sparrow platform.

It not only provides a space for manga artists and novelists to create online, but also provides readers with a novel reading experience that has never been seen in Japan.

Combined with Sparrow's micro-social thinking, it caters to Japanese netizens in almost every way.

The great freshness and attraction made Qingtian and others feel very excited and looking forward to it as soon as they heard it!

……

On the way to the Spark Company.

In the car, Zhang Fanzheng and Chiba and Minako are discussing the feasibility of the development of sparrows in Japan.

Hearing their talk about local culture, Zhang Fan and Zhou Yang's development ideas are also much clearer.

"Mr. Zhang. Personally, I think that the sparrow concept you envisioned is perfect for growing in Japan! ”

Qingtian excitedly said: "Micro comics are definitely an excellent idea, which can expand the income of many cartoonists and clubs and reduce their creative costs!" Readers don't have to go to bookstores and comic houses to buy them. ”

"Hmm!" Minako nodded, "A lot of manga artists and artists don't have jobs right now. If you publish physical comics and novels, you need a large investment, and if you fail, it will be a very serious economic blow, and people will be very sad. ”

"Sparrow provides an electronic platform, which can save a lot of links, and I believe that everyone is willing to implement the electronic version on it first, and then do physical publishing if it is done well. This avoids investment failure. ”

"In the future, it will be very convenient for everyone to read comics and novels. I think the sparrow will make it! ”

Zhang Fan said with a smile: "If we can get your affirmation, Mr. Zhou and I will be more confident." Do you have any recommendations? Mobile use in Japan is booming, right? You use your mobile phone to access the Internet more. Or do you use a computer more? ”

"Yes! I'll answer the president's question! ”

Chiba Xiaomei was very active at the moment, and said: "We use mobile phones to surf the Internet, much more than computers. Only boys use the computer to play games. Maybe computers can make people feel troublesome and lonely. ”

"Therefore, I must launch the 'Sparrow Mobile Client', for example, to develop the ...... used on the Apple mobile phone."

Zhang Fan secretly wrote it down, and said: "Twitter and Facebook, which of the two social networks do you use the most?" ”

"Twitter, of course!"

Xiaomei took out her iPhone and displayed: "Look, adult! Twitter has a mobile side, and they're much better than Facebook in terms of mobile service, so we all love it. ”

"Do you have Twitter?"

"I haven't ...... yet"

Zhang Fan pursed his lips and smiled, exchanged glances with Zhou Yang, and thought secretly: "Twitter focuses on mobile social services, and Facebook focuses more on PCs." Japanese love Twitter...... That is to say, in the future, Sparrow will develop in Japan, and it will also focus on mobile phone services. ”

"It seems that when you go to a place in the future, you must first investigate the habits of users, and then adapt measures to local conditions. Go back and let Yutang do their best to set up a 'sparrow app application development team' for Android and iOS development first......"

"The PC platform focuses on the five major contents of sparrow micro-comics...... Mobile platform with a focus on socializing and reading. ”

……

While Zhang Fan was thinking, Zhou Yang asked, "Then how is the development of your instant messaging field?" That is, 'live chat tool'. Have you all used it? ”

"Huh? Live chat tool? ”

Hearing this question, Chiba Komiko looked at Minako and Minister Aota, and the two didn't know how to answer this question.

In fact, many Japanese people don't like to make strangers, and there is still no decent chat tool in the Japanese market, so they usually text each other in a small circle or community.

"I see."

Zhou Yang smiled and whispered to Zhang Fan: "Boss, Panda's first international market is also available!" ”

"The new version of Panda Chat developed by Weixi, doesn't there be a 'circle of friends'? It caters to Japan's 'small circle culture' and should be a good fit for Japan. ”

"We can have pandas tied to sparrows and create a 'dual system of chat and social culture'. What do you think? ”

Zhang Fan silently gave him a thumbs up, picked up him and his S1 and handed it to Minako: "We have developed a 'Panda Instant Messaging', which has a very interesting voice chat function. Minako, you guys try it out and see if it's suitable for development in Japan? ”

"Panda chatting?"

Minako had heard of the 'Panda Penguin Wars' in Japan, so she curiously took the S1 handed by Zhang Fan, and tried to communicate with Chiba in panda voice.

By the time the car arrived at the Ascentage Building, the excitement on their faces had already shown that pandas had the ability to promote themselves to Japan and internationally.

Both also said that if they could release a mobile terminal in Japan, they would use Panda Chat instead of daily text and phone calls.

……

The Spark Company, which came to the studio, was already waiting in the office. The teams of the two sides introduced each other and began to negotiate the joint production of "Super Marines".

In the middle, Zhang Fan and Zhou Yang left the venue and called the sparrow team to discuss with the panda team and senior executives: "Japanese Sparrow and Weixin Preparation and Formation Plan".

The market is always the one who responds the fastest, and the one who takes the most.

At present, Japan is still blank in terms of instant messaging, and the mainstream social network is not finalized, which is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Xinghuo to quickly gain a foothold.
