The news brought by Cui Chuanming made Wen Ming's mood very bad.

It's perfectly acceptable to be despised and treated as a liar. Because in this world, there is no love and hate for no reason.

Wen Ming would not be naïve to think that the world should revolve around him.

But the blood sample of the dinosaur is too precious, and it is too important for him.

So, for a whole day, all the employees of the entire Apple company began to cheer cautiously because of the gloomy face of their boss.

They can't help but rejoice, Instagram has reached 5 million registered users within a day of its launch.

Compared to the more than 30 million downloads of Plants vs. Zombies, the more than 21 million paid users, and the more than 6 million followers on Wenming's Facebook, the number of registered users of 5 million does not seem like much.

However, that's not how the accounts are calculated.

First of all, the "Plants vs. Zombies" client faces users who use computers, mobile phones, and professional game consoles such as PlayStation and Xbox. The users of Instagram are mainly mobile phone users.

Secondly, users of "Plants vs. Zombies" can only provide Wenming with a benefit of $2.99 per person, and it will be difficult to provide benefits to Wenming after that. And the more than 5 million Instagarm users, although they don't pay a penny for the usage, can become active users of Instagarm for a long time. At that time, whether it is advertising or any other marketing, it will be able to provide Wenming with higher revenues.

Finally, Instagarm is a social app with more than 5 million downloads in a day, and these users will inevitably take the initiative to promote Instagarm if they want more people to see the photos they share, so that their relatives and friends will become registered users of Instagarm.

Just like software like QQ and Facebook, in addition to the development company's own publicity, the absolute hero who allows them to have more users is the users they already have.

"Boss, a venture capital firm has contacted us."

In the president's office in Apple, Wen Ming's gloomy face finally slowed down. He wanted to celebrate with his employees, but he couldn't do it, so he locked himself in his office when he realized he was causing bad emotions to them.

"So fast?"

Wen Ming was very surprised to hear that a venture capital company had contacted, because it was impossible for a venture capital company to invest in "Plants vs. Zombies". If you invest in Instagarm, it is only 24 hours before Instagarm is launched.

Sith was relieved to see Wen Ming's expression slow down, he didn't know the reason for Wen Ming's gloomy face, and thought it was because of Wen Ming's physical condition.

"Yes, boss, it's that fast. This kind of speed is the reason why those capitalists can continue to make money. ”

Wen Ming said helplessly: "Uncle Sith, I said it, you don't need to call me boss at all. ”

Sith shrugged his shoulders and said, "In the company, you must be called boss, because our company has only been established for more than a month, not a mature and stable period. ”

Mature and stable?

Wen Ming thought of the reason why he was able to create all this, and he was very helpless, it was possible that in his life, Apple would not really stabilize.

"Whatever you want, I'll still call you Uncle Sith anyway."

Sith smiled and said, "Well, when it's just the two of us, I'll call you by your name, and you call me by my name." ”

"Deal!"

After the gossip, it's time to get down to business.

Wen Ming asked, "Is it an investment company under Teresa Roy's name?" ”

In Wen Ming's mind, being able to have such a fast speed is naturally because of his 'reminder'.

The Sith asked in surprise, "Why do you think of him?" I'll admit that he does have a good reputation in the investment community, but it wasn't he who contacted us this time. ”

Wen Ming sighed, and most of his nature disappeared immediately.

Sith continued: "It was American Century Ventures in Silicon Valley, and when they contacted me, they said that he was a user of the game Plants vs. Zombies, and he became a registered user of Instagram in order to get the qualification to update the special edition levels. ”

So far, because Instagram has only been online for 24 hours, almost all users have signed up for this reason.

"We have a like function on Instagarm, and the first set of pictures shared by our official account got 5 million likes within 24 hours, making it the most liked set of pictures in all registered user circles."

As a social software, Instagram naturally has the ability to add friends, and the official account is the default friend for every registered user, which is used for future promotions or advertising. Of course, users can also delete official accounts, but because the product has been online for a short time, many users are not really familiar with this product.

Sith continued: "The salesman said that he began to think that the 5 million likes of our official account were faked, just like a lot of software, and it would fake the number of users, because the like feature can only be clicked once per account. But because he works in the venture capital industry, he knows how to look up this information. ”

"As a result, he contacted us directly, and he is currently submitting a proposal to his own company."

After saying this, Sith made a joke and said, "Wen Ming, when you invited me to join the company, you were talking about the head of the legal department. But now, I still seem to be working in the business cooperation department? ”

Wen Ming laughed and said, "No way, you know, our company has been established for too short a time. Although the number of employees has exceeded 50, many departments have not yet been formally established. ”

Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, and the Apple company that smells the sound is no longer a sparrow-level enterprise, but the five internal organs are not complete.

Sith asked, "What do you think of venture capital?" Judging from the current cash flow brought by "Plants vs. Zombies", we don't need to seek any venture capital at all in the short term. Of course, the premise is that at the moment we are only engaged in the development of products like Plants vs. Zombies and Instagarm. ”

"However, I noticed that some of the patents that you asked me to file relate to hardware. That is, you want to invest in hardware? ”

That's why Wen Ming wants to ask Sith and Cage to help, and those technologies are patented, which will inevitably reveal some of Apple's future plans. Of course, after the patent technology application is successful, any individual and enterprise can be searched in the patent office.

But the current Apple company has not yet made people pay attention to the strength of their patented technology information, and only those involved in it will pay attention to these problems.

"Not bad!"

Wen Ming didn't have the slightest intention of concealing it, and said: "I want to invest in hardware, and the first product is a mobile phone!" ”

Sith didn't refute it directly, although he was very optimistic about Wen Ming's investment plan, but because of Wen Ming's physical condition, he felt that he could make Wen Ming willful. Otherwise, how pitiful it would be for people to die, the money has not been spent, and there are no descendants to leave an inheritance.

"If we invest in hardware, we do need financing, but I recommend not financing for the time being, because our users are orders of magnitude and have not yet reached the limit."

The treatment of product financing for 5 million users and product financing for 10 million users is naturally different. If you don't take into account the user value, the amount of financing is absolutely different.

Wen Ming nodded and said, "You can release the news appropriately and start talking with those venture capital companies, but don't go deep at the moment." Sith, what I hope most is to be able to work with Teresa Roy's venture capital firm. ”

Sith didn't ask why, nodded, said a few more words to pay attention to his body, and left the office to get to work.

famous, and his face became gloomy again.

"Why hasn't Cui Chuanming's side reacted after a day has passed? Or is Theresa Roy, on her side, not yet responding? ”
