Jin Wei and several department colleagues were busy calming the frenzy at the scene, separating the reporter from Zuckerberg. www.biquge.info In the past two days, the boss of the company has not appeared, he is busy receiving waves of reporters, and preparing for the press conference, which can be said to be so busy that his feet do not touch the ground.
But Zuckerberg's sudden appearance at the press conference is a magic plot? Just now, the colleague in charge of signing in trotted in, followed by seven or eight foreigners, Jin Wei thought it was a reporter from a foreign media, which is not unusual, there were several reporters from foreign news agencies in the venue today.
Until he recognized Zuckerberg standing in the middle of the crowd, and then stayed in shock halfway through the crowd. As a practitioner of an Internet company, there should be basically no one who doesn't know Xiaozha's face.
Next, the reporters at the scene also recognized Zuckerberg, and instantly rushed over like a chicken, and various microphones and voice recorders sprung up.
"Mr. Zuckerberg, are you here for the press conference of Infinite Future?"
"What agreement has been reached between Facebook and Infinite Future? Is it an acquisition? ”
……
In the chaos, fortunately, there were two full-time bodyguards in Zuckerberg's entourage, one tall and strong, with long and strong hands, and the two stood in front of Zuckerberg, blocking the attack of a whole group of reporters with both hands. In addition, Jin Wei and his colleagues, as well as several security guards in the park helped to maintain order on the side, which calmed down the mood of the venue.
Zuckerberg smiled a little shyly, faced with many media cameras, pointed to the rostrum, and said in Chinese: "I'm here to attend the press conference, it's about to start, everyone, please be quiet for now, and talk about other things when it's over." The seats in the front row of the conference hall were almost full, and the text reporters of the two media outlets enthusiastically offered to give up their seats and let their group sit in the first row.
You know, this is a very large news, of course, let the protagonist of the news sit in a prominent position.
The reporters were already talking in groups, "Xiaozha's Chinese level is really good." ”
"You haven't seen the video of his speech at Tsinghua University? At that time, it was an all-Chinese speech, but it was still a bit stumbling. There are now much more standard pronunciations. ”
There are also reporters who are busy calling newspapers, and the CEO of Facebook comes to the press conference of Infinite Future without warning, one is the leader of the global social networking site, and the other is the Internet company that has been in the limelight recently, and the intersection of the two companies is enough to raise the importance of relevant news to the highest level.
There are also reporters who are busy posting the news and photos of "Xiaozha's appearance" to the circle of friends and Weibo, attracting many onlookers and netizens, with the current speed of Internet transmission, within an hour, this news will be on the news headlines of major portals.
Chen Wenhao pushed the door in, and saw Zuckerberg sitting in the first row at a glance, and it happened that he looked at the door when he heard the sound, and the two met their eyes, recognized each other, smiled and nodded.
The reporters also quieted down, apparently recognizing Chen Wenhao. Although he has not been interviewed by the media, the photos are not difficult to find, and many photos have been posted on the Internet the last time he hosted a meeting with a venture capital institution.
Chen Wenhao invited Lu Wenqiang to sit on the rostrum and announced that the press conference would start on time. Lu Wenqiang is obviously a person who understands proportions, and knows why so many people in the audience are here, just on behalf of the software park official to welcome the arrival of reporters and Zuckerberg and his party, and then say a few more words, and end the brief opening speech.
Chen Wenhao took the microphone, and the photojournalists in the audience immediately stood by and started one after another, and the flashes lit up frequently for a while.
"First of all, thank you for coming, and welcome Mr. Zuckerberg to this press conference. Knowing that everyone is curious about the situation of our company, then I will directly use the data to report the latest situation of the company with you. There was a laptop connected to a projector on the rostrum, Chen Wenhao took out a USB flash drive and plugged it in, and clicked on the presentation document.
The projections on both sides of the rostrum went from blurry to clear, beginning to show two numbers: 35 million! 7 million!
"This is the statistic as of 10 a.m. today. 35 million, which is the number of users of the small card translation software; 7 million is the number of paying users. Chen Wenhao turned sideways and explained these two numbers to everyone in the audience.
There were all sorts of exclamations from the crowd of journalists, and the two figures had already exceeded the most optimistic estimates of various media outlets. The most optimistic media estimate the number of users of small card software is also at the level of 20 million, not to mention the number of paying users.
Generally speaking, after the free period, 10% of the trial users can take out their wallets to pass, and 20% can be regarded as excellent, but well-informed media have reported that the proportion of users who choose to pay for small card translation software has reached 50%.
In this way, even if the number of software users does not grow, based on the current 35 million users, the final paying users will reach 17.5 million, based on the monthly fee of 10 yuan, the monthly income will be 175 million yuan, and the annual income will be 2.1 billion yuan!
The annual operating income of 2.1 billion yuan is not a very huge figure for many large domestic groups, not to mention multinational companies. But to be clear, this is a company that has been established for less than a month and has single-digit employees. Not to mention that in terms of the profitability of most industries now, excluding the rising costs, it is a very ideal figure to have a net profit of 15%.
But how much can it cost for an infinite future company? I'm afraid that except for the server and rent, the other expenses are negligible. Oh, by the way, I've seen them post a lot of ads on the Internet lately, and maybe add a promotion fee. But those who know the know know that if the number of product users reaches a certain order of magnitude, promotion will become a spontaneous behavior of users, and there is no need to deliberately promote it, and it can attract new users.
And most importantly, they're profitable! Without any venture capital support, you can make a real profit! This is a goal that many large Internet companies in China have not achieved. Many Internet companies rely on venture capital funds, with the help of the securities market, may have a good stock price and a high market value, but their main business still cannot achieve profitability. Investors are willing to continue to invest in these companies, which can only be said to be more optimistic about the future expectations and future earnings of these companies.
But for the journalists who attended the press conference today, the shock was only the beginning. Chen Wenhao paused on the stage for a while, and after the discussion in the audience slowly calmed down, he tapped the keyboard, only to see two new data appear on the projection screen: 40 million! 9.72 million!
"Yes, I think you've guessed it, these two figures are the latest as of the moment the press conference began, which is 2 p.m. today. Within 4 hours of the launch of the new version, we added more than 5 million new users, which is an increase that has only been seen in the previous 2 days. The new 2.72 million paying users, according to the background display, most of them come from old users who did not choose to pay in the early stage. ”
Chen Wenhao introduced with a smile, and the audience lost his voice for a short time. Many text reporters were speechless by the shock, only a few cameras were still faithfully recording the scene, and the photographer frantically pressed the camera shutter, and the scene fell into an eerie silence.
Rumble! A brief lull was followed by a violent outburst. Many reporters have lost their grip and thrown out all sorts of questions.
"Don't worry, everyone, I'll leave time to ask questions freely in a while." Chen Wenhao glanced at Zuckerberg's position, when the first set of data was released before, they were still sitting very peacefully, and they did not show a very surprised expression, presumably they had made corresponding estimates internally before coming.
But after the release of the latest data after the release of the new version, Zuckerberg and his party were obviously a little surprised, and began to whisper to each other with their bodies sideways. Chen Wenhao didn't know what kind of plan Xiaozha brought this time, but he deliberately released the latest data, firstly, to create greater news value and better promote the company, and secondly, to show Xiaozha their strength, no matter what your original plan was, in front of such a performance full of infinite possibilities and hopes, please show your greater sincerity. Otherwise, no need to talk!
Now it seems that the desired purpose has been achieved.
Chen Wenhao turned his gaze to the group of passionate reporters, and said with a smile, "There is one last piece of news: on September 1, Infinite Future Technology will release a mobile version of the small card translation software." All the functions of the software will be retained for the current desktop version, and new features will be introduced according to the characteristics of mobile users. We will publish the specific progress and details on the official website as soon as possible. ”
