Obama.

Toward the end of 2003, Obama began his preparations for the presidential election.

Although Obama's plan is to run for the US presidential election in 2008, the road to the presidency is not ordinary.

As an ordinary person, as a black man, Obama has to work harder than other white people.

It's just that, for some time, Obama's preparations did not seem to have been successful.

"Hello, Mr. Obama, we meet again."

Zhang Ning made another appointment to meet with Obama.

"Hello, Zhang Ning."

Obama didn't seem to have much energy, and when he saw Zhang Ning, he still kept frowning.

"Obama, I don't think you're in a good mood."

"Not really."

Obama shook his head.

"Let me guess then."

Zhang Ning smiled with interest, "I guess Mr. Obama has recently started preparing for the 2008 presidential election." ”

"Hey, Zhang Ning, how do you know."

Obama looked a little surprised.

"Don't be surprised, your daily blog, already has this intention. It's the end of 2003 and it's about to start 2004. I guess you're going to run for president of the United States in 2008, right? ”

"I can't hide it from you."

Obama nodded, "Yes, yes, I have a plan." ”

Although I am still surprised, it is not a secret that I am preparing to run for president.

The Democratic Party has begun to support itself, but lately it has been feeling lost.

Obama pressed his temples with both hands, a look of contemplation.

"So you are in trouble right now."

"Actually, it's not a problem, it's just that I feel a little confused. I don't know, what should I do next. You should know that I don't have the slightest advantage over other U.S. presidential candidates. My identity is very, very ordinary. I don't have any background, and I don't have any financial backing. ”

"Don't worry, because you're an ordinary person, I'm more optimistic that you will win the 2008 election. Like, didn't the blog you started on the Internet attract a lot of interest? ”

"Thank you."

When it comes to blogging, Obama is thankful for Zhang Ning.

"I want to thank you first, if it weren't for your guidance, many people might not know me. Recently, however, I've noticed that some of my blog posts don't seem to be of much interest to the public. ”

Obama has also been having a headache about this matter for some time now.

Blogging is an important tool that he has been working on.

For him, blogging has become a part of him.

He needs to go through the guò blog and express himself to the people.

At the same time, he also needs a blog to be recognized by the public.

Although in the beginning, the role of blogging was not large, and the recognition of the public was not very large. Before, he once felt that writing so many blogs was not as good as doing a TV show. However, as he continues to update his blog, his popularity has been slowly increasing, until now, his popularity is almost daring to be a star.

This is naturally a good sign.

At least, when the public found out that many presidential candidates were going to compete with him, many of them voted for themselves.

However, when Obama once again figured out the power of Guò's blog to show his influence, he found that in recent times, it seems that the public has not interacted with him very much. Or rather, lost interest in him.

Obama looked strange and wanted to ask Zhang Ning, the Internet master.

Zhang Ning laughed when he heard this.

"Mr. Obama, don't you think that everyone is interested in war now?"

"Well, you're right."

Obama looked helpless.

Of course, he knew that the war Zhang Ning was talking about was the Iraq War.

This is a war waged by the administration headed by George W. Bush.

Not to mention the United States, even the whole world is watching this war incomparably.

Although the war was going on at the same time, there were a series of other major events taking place in the United States. But in the face of war, all the qiē lost his color. Others will watch, that's weird.

It's just that seeing Obama's helpless look, Zhang Ning smiled again and said, "Okay, I'm kidding you." It has been some time since the war in Iraq, and people have already turned their attention to other places, where is it possible to watch Iraq all day long. ”

"Then why is there no interest in some of my blogs and stuff?"

"It's very simple, because people have some aesthetic fatigue with long blog posts like blogs."

"Ah......h

Obama was dumbfounded, "No, didn't you tell me to start a blog?" ”

"Yes, though, that was before."

"The world is evolving, and so is the internet. Even, the speed of development of the Internet far exceeds the development of ordinary things. In the past, many people may have been interested in blogging, but now, people don't feel it anymore. In particular, ordinary people who don't want to spend too much time reading long-form blog posts have shifted their attention to Weibo within 140 words. ”

"Weibo?"

"Yes, this is Facebook's new business, which is similar to the previous personal dynamics, but it is more fun and real than personal dynamics...... Also, it's more interactive. ”

"yes, I'll try later."

With Zhang Ning's guidance, Obama opened his own Weibo.

Unlike previous blog posts, under the guidance of Zhang Ning, Obama refreshes Weibo from time to time every day.

However, the topic revolved around a series of rotten beaches left behind by the Bush administration after the war was launched.

For example, the economy.

Although there was a war in Iraq, Zhuang showed the strength of the United States.

However, the after-effects of the war were manifested at this time.

The high level of unemployment, as well as the high price of oil and the price of living, have brought greater difficulties to the American people.

Soon, on Facebook's recommendation, Obama was once again in the spotlight.

"Thank you so much, Zhang Ning."

Obama excitedly thanked Zhang Ning.

"Zhang Ning, do you know. This time, I had more than 10 times more followers than I had with my original blog. Oh my God, I can't believe that a small Weibo has such a terrifying energy. ”

"Heh, it's just a small feature."

If the blog is for some young netizens, then Weibo is for mass netizens.

Most of the people who have been interested in Obama have been senior thinkers.

However, when Obama switched to Weibo, even some ordinary people became interested in Obama.

Of course, the premise is that Facebook has to recommend Obama's Weibo.

Mr. Zhang, however, did not explain much to Mr. Obama.

"Anyway, thank you. By the way, Zhang Ning, it is said that your Penguin Company is going to be listed on our NASDAQ. ”

"Yes."

"Congratulations."

Obama said with a blessing.

"Congratulations, don't you know that we are in trouble with the Penguin Company."

"Well, I almost forgot, your company is too big, and our government has considered your penguin company before."

Penguin's going public is also a big deal for the U.S. government.

"And what do you think?"

"No way, at present, some major underwriters may not be able to underwrite, unless it is possible to let underwriters all over the world underwrite together. However, this is not possible. ”

"No, no, no, it's possible."

Zhang Ning became interested, "At present, the Bush administration has made a mess of the economy, and I think that you, the democratic parties, should take this opportunity to revise the financial and securities laws and regulations to provide you with more business opportunities in the United States." For example, foreign underwriters are allowed to enter the NASDAQ. ”

"No, I don't think anyone would do that."

Obama shook his head directly.

"Not necessarily. You must know that this is of great benefit to you and your democratic parties. ”

"What's the benefit?"

"First, it can be used to suppress the Republican Party. Second, it can increase Obama's approval ratings. Do you think, if you get the world's biggest company to go public and benefit all the people of the United States, won't they support you? ”

Obama's eyes suddenly lit up, but he still shook his head, "Amending laws and regulations is not the business of one party in our Democratic Party, he needs the consent of both parties, that is, the House of Representatives must be passed." ”

"That's not easy, if the Republicans don't agree, you can take this opportunity to suppress them again. I don't think it's possible for the Republican Party to sit idly by and watch its approval ratings drop step by step. ”

"It seems to make some sense."

Obama nodded silently in his heart.

According to Zhang Ning's idea, it can really work.

It's just that Obama woke up all of a sudden.

"How do I feel like I've fallen for you?"

"Mr. Zhang Ning, you helped me before, didn't you just wait for this all the time?"

"Hehe, Mr. Obama, we are friends, isn't it a very commendable thing for you to help me and I help you? Don't you, Mr. Obama, want us to go public in the United States, Penguin? If that's the case, I'd rather consider going back to China. ”

Of course, Zhang Ning did not think of going public in China for the time being.

But at this moment, he had to say so.

Even, Zhang Ning has already planned.

If the major American underwriters can't take his plate anymore, he really has to hype it up in the media.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Eventually, Obama nodded.

He promised to give it a try.

And it's not just because it's good for him and for the Democrats.

There is another reason, that is, Zhang Ning has been helping himself before.

Obama realized that if he hadn't done it, Mr. Zhang would never have helped him again.

Besides, Zhang Ning is also reasonable.

一qiē is very smooth lì.

It's not as complicated as it seems.

Under the struggle of these politicians, Zhang Ning got the answer he wanted.

Although this answer is not to change the original law, it is only to add a trial rule.

This rule only allows Penguin to try it out to see how it works, and it doesn't mean that all other companies can do the same.

But it doesn't matter anymore, it's enough to have this trial rule.

1 January 2004, New Year's Day.

On the first day of the new year, almost all media around the world announced a piece of news:

Penguin Inc., will be listed in the United States.
