Chapter Ninety-Two: Nightless Qinglan enters
"Your house is a kindergarten, and this kind of spectacle is usually only seen in Irish families!"
After an afternoon of work and a sumptuous dinner, Angelina took the children and Priscilla to chat in the living room, while Chen Bo took Zuckerberg to the study.
"I'm not as good as the Irish, and it's a kindergarten, but it's also a United Nations kindergarten."
Chen Bo responded with a smile, the Irish in the United States are numerous, accounting for almost half of the population, the reason is that they are special students, and if you don't have more than six children, you will be despised. And Americans also like to joke about the Irish, but this nation can bear hardships and stand hard work, although the talent in business is not comparable with the Jews and Chinese, but it is very politically advantageous, and has produced more than 20 presidents so far.
"But I'm so envious."
"You're coming to me to say this?"
"Of course not, I came to Los Angeles and visited by the way, and I wanted to ask for advice."
"Asking for advice? What problems are you experiencing, not enough money or technology not keeping up? ”
In terms of Facebook's investment, Chen Bo did not eat alone, but adopted the method of co-leading the investment, with Orange holding a part, BP and Milhouse holding a part, and his personal angel round, which added up to just over 30%.
The action of the orange company in the capital market has been relatively ruthless, and the relationship with other venture capital is relatively estranged, this phenomenon is not necessarily a good thing, simply share some profits, so as not to make too many enemies in the end.
Facebook is more of a carrier than an indispensable core business for him, and with the confidence of Zuckerberg, he did not interfere in the management of the company.
"We now have 25 million university students all over the world, but there is one country that keeps saying no to me."
"Mark, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Chen Bo patted him on the shoulder, and then relieved, "You have to understand that cultural barriers are real, Facebook can succeed in Europe, in North and South America, but it may not necessarily achieve a breakthrough there." Yahoo, eBay, AOL have all tried, who will leave alive? ”
"Facebook is a platform that's open to young people all over the world, and it should involve everyone, isn't it?" Zuckerberg still sticks to his philosophy and refuses to give up.
"It's because it's so open, so open that you and I can't control it." Chen Bo shook his head, "Will Facebook be a pure social networking site in the future?" Apparently not! Each account is equivalent to a small media medium, which expands its influence by retweeting, liking, and following. If it's a simple flow of information, then it's definitely good. What if someone with ulterior motives is using it to make a fuss? Are the administrators familiar with the cultural traditions and taboos of each region? ”
"The world is not black and white, so why can't there be more channels of communication?"
"I have some accounts that follow anomalies, violent, sexual. Feelings, divisions, and religions are all there, and spreading the dark side is obviously not in line with popular values. Just like you can't use black actors as villains in Hollywood, you have to pay attention to political correctness everywhere. It's understandable that you don't understand it now, so you might as well go there and take a look when you have time, and maybe you'll find that even after Facebook gets in, it's still going to be difficult. ”
Chen Bo's words are not groundless, and it is not easy to enter the world's second-largest Internet market, which has 160 million Internet users. The three major portals, BAT, are mountains that cannot be ignored, and they cannot be easily solved with the help of orange search.
Facebook's current college student route is about to expand into the field of higher school students.
However, the 160 million domestic users are gradually showing a trend of younger age and low education, and Facebook can be said to be vulnerable in the face of the entrenched Tencent.
MSN also wants to go high-end, white-collar workers, college students, and the final development result is just an email sending and receiving client between some large companies, which not only does not bring any benefits, but also crowds out the frequency of use of outlook.
Tengxun occupies the most basic level of users, the simplest, most direct, and most brutal in the market, everyone has a QQ number, and prefers instant communication online.
Facebook, on the other hand, is just a time-lapse social network based on photo sharing and comments, which is destined to not conform to the trend of domestic Internet culture.
"But ......"
"Nothing." Chen Bo interrupted him and said, "Your most important goal now is to defeat MySpace, 25 million users are just a drop in the bucket before they learn to climb!" Murdoch and Wendy Deng simply regarded MySpace as a new media tool, which has been detached from the foundation of social networking, they want to use the operation mode of traditional media to control users, build an online information aggregation platform, and even sign a 3-year $900 million advertising display contract with Orange, this is your chance! ”
"I see." Zuckerberg was not stupid either, and immediately said, "I can't compare to Yahoo or Google or MySpace for information and content." But I have the most innovative users, and if I break down the wall, I can attract more users. ”
"Draw inferences and understand, I believe you can do it." Chen Bo was very pleased to see that he had finally given up considering the issue of entering the secondary market for the time being and returned to his current focus. "I'll arrange for someone to connect with you to the 'Pandora' system, and you can start arranging for someone to develop a mobile version of Facebook."
"Pandora?"
Chen Bo smiled mysteriously, "The intelligent mobile operating system developed by the orange company, when the time comes, you will find that behind the original door is the new world!" ”
In terms of the current mainstream mobile phone system in the market, Symbian occupies a dominant position in Europe, because the company that developed this system is a joint venture between Ericsson, Nokia and Motorola, if the manufacturer wants to use this system, each mobile phone has to pay 8 US dollars for technical use, and there are currently 100 million mobile phones equipped with Symbian system in the world.
Samsung has been brewing the development of intelligent systems since 03, and has directly used Linux to do it, but their strength in software development is a little unbearable, and they basically use it without much modification, and the result is obviously bound to fail, so they switched to the Saipan camp.
48% of users in the North American market belong to BlackBerry in Canada, which is also their peak moment.
The black keyboard shape, the freedom to send and receive e-mails and reliable privacy have been loved by presidents, middle-of-the-road business people, and ordinary people.
As for Microsoft's indosMobile, that's messing around in the mezzanine, 5. frameork plug-in, this TMD is only existing in the PC system, right? If it weren't for the big family and the big business, I would have been able to survive by selling software and looting money, and it is estimated that I would have died 800 times.
Looking at the list of their partners, Acer, HTC and Dopod, as well as HP, are not traditional phone manufacturers, and Samsung occasionally takes one or two orders. But it has always been high and low, but Bill Gates can afford to lose, and that little fluctuation does not affect Microsoft's stock price in the slightest.
After retaining some mystery to Zuckerberg, the two left the study.
Priscilla has already mingled with several children, and although her Chinese is not very good, it is not difficult for these children to communicate with Chinese and English. And she is also a top student at Harvard Medical School, Xiaozha dropped out of school early to start a business, but she is still learning.
Because of the major she studied, although she had little experience, she also gave Angelina some ways of fetal and prenatal education from a professional point of view, and the two women talked happily with each other, and encouraged Chen Bo to recognize this girl who was more compatible as her sister.
Originally, they were all pure Chinese blood, and they were all surnamed Chen, so they must have been one family five hundred years ago. Chen Bo did not refuse, because her parents were Vietnamese Chinese refugees who entered the United States, and only her grandmother could speak Chinese, so she only had an English name.
Chen Bo temporarily overtook her and gave her a Chinese name by the way. His single name is Bo, which means that the sea water is rising. If you want to talk about symmetry, the word "arashi" is undoubtedly very applicable, indicating the mist in the mountains, and it can also describe the softness of women.
However, in order to avoid duplicate names, plus Bai Juyi has a poem that says, "Before the night Qinglan enters, the early autumn white dew group." The name was taken "Qinglan", which is very poetic and picturesque, and represents the subtle beauty of the Orient.
So Chen Bo, who lost his parents at a young age, has an older sister who is studying at Harvard, and a cheap Jewish "brother-in-law", and the meeting gift is of course indispensable.
Why don't you send some? There is really a pair of mandarin ducks carved in stone in his study, which are definitely not antiques, and he doesn't have that eyesight. It's just that when I go to Chinatown, it looks fun, and the slippery one was originally a paperweight, and he is not good at calligraphy, so he put it on the bookshelf to make an ornament, and it is also appropriate to give it to the two of them.
Several bear children also changed their names to aunts, and each of them also got a small red envelope of 5 US dollars, and an extra capital to buy dog food, which is really beautiful.
Although Chen Bo had a leisurely life, the orange company never stopped its prospects, and just two days after announcing the acquisition of Universal Music, an official announcement was thrown.
Orange Entertainment officially acquired American game manufacturers Epic Games and Riot Studios for a total price of 340 million US dollars, as well as Huaxia's Xingchen Cool Entertainment.
Among them, Epic Games sold for $230 million, Riot Studios still received a check for $10 million despite its recent establishment, and Stars Cool Entertainment was an equivalent exchange of company shares.
After the formal completion of the acquisition, it will form Orange Games together with its game review website IGN. It is wholly owned by Orange Entertainment, and invited Bill Roper, the founder of Blizzard Entertainment who left Vivendi, to serve as the executive president of the department, with Los Angeles as its headquarters base, mainly responsible for the European and American markets.
The vice president is Zou Tao of Xingchen Cool Entertainment, who is responsible for the Asian market with Shanghai as the game production base.
The company and Marvel have reached an agreement to act as an agent for the production and distribution of all of its anime heroes.
With the addition of music and games, the big ship of Orange Entertainment also began to set sail with the help of the Internet advantages of Orange Search, and the word "Online" was added in the middle, only the last piece of the puzzle about film and television was missing.
