Chapter 5: The launch of the first product

"By the way, our company's funds are not enough to detonate our product in the first place, I suggest that the product be launched for free for a period of time, and then choose to charge after our product is completely famous." Zhang Han suggested that, after all, there was no money to promote, and the company's best way to promote it at the moment was the free one, although everyone present was confident in the prospect of instant online translation.

Everyone nodded approvingly.

"That's really a good suggestion." Ren Hong nodded when he heard this, paused for a while and said, "However, there is no need." ”

"Uh~" Zhang Han was stunned, he originally thought that Ren Hong was going to adopt his opinion.

I saw Ren Hong confidently said: "I will deal with the promotion of the product, you don't need to be careful, you just need to complete the tasks I have set." ”

In the next period of time, everyone is full of enthusiasm, Zhang Han and others immediately put into work after the course of the day every day, the domain name registration of "XlouS" has been completed, and the official website is also under construction. Because "XlouS" is a high-tech company, its official website will also carry the company's unique genes.

Ren Hong returned to his room, and after the suspension of school, he rented a separate room outside the school, although the rent made his heart ache, but it was still within the acceptable range, and he believed that after a while, everything would be better.

Back at home, he turned on his computer, skilfully logged into his email, and sent an email to the United States with three versions of the instant online translation software for PC, Android and iOS, to Facebook headquarters, and soon he sent the same email to Twitter headquarters. Ren Hongmu watched that after the two emails were successfully sent, he sat motionless in front of the computer, without saying a word, and for a long time, a smile slowly appeared on his lips.

He seemed to imagine what the current CEOs of Twitter and Facebook were, Jack and Zuckerberg, would look like after seeing the contents of this email, and Jack's ecstasy after being shocked? Because this artifact has the potential to overturn Facebook, and it can overturn the world's number one social network, how attractive and crazy is this?

And what about Mark Zuckerberg? Astound? Surprise? Fear? Shocked by the power of instant online translation, the surprise is that this software is simply born for social networking platforms, the fear is that if the opponent gets this technology, it is a terrible threat to Facebook, Internet companies maintain a strong sense of crisis every moment, because no one knows what will happen in the next moment, the birth of new things to destroy the old world is only a thought, especially in the Internet field.

Most typically, the launch of Instagram once became Facebook's strongest competitor, but it was eventually acquired by Zuckerberg to gain peace of mind, which shows why everyone in the Internet field has always maintained a sense of crisis.

The next day, Ren Hong came to school again.

In Classroom 317, all six people arrived, and there are only six people in "XlouS" at the moment, but it is enough.

"The company's official website has been basically completed! It can be launched, and the final official website forum can be done today. Zhou Hui said.

Ren Hongyi listened to the company's official website, the main style of the website is space blue, "XlouS" stands out very strongly under the texture of gray metallic luster, and there are four eye-catching words on its right: change the world!

The line "XlouS: Change the World" does not come with an English translation for the four Chinese characters, because it is not necessary for people to use Instant Online Translation and it will be automatically translated into any language you want.

Ren Hongyi browsed the UI interface of the company's official website one by one, he nodded slightly, this is the effect he wants, full of the charm of the future and technology.

"That's pretty much it." Ren Hong's gaze detached from it, and then fell on everyone, he announced: "Starting today, I will announce that the company's first product is officially launched!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Han and others applauded excitedly, although the applause was not deafening, but it was full of confidence and passion, Ren Hongqiang endured the agitation in his heart, and said: "This is our company's first product, this great product should have a grand conference, but I guarantee that our second product will be officially released in a brilliant hall, in the global vision!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the excited applause rang out again, Ren Hong closed his eyes, the agitation in his heart made him extremely happy, and he firmly believed that the next time he stood on the stage would be an earth-shaking scene.

Starting today, the company's official website is officially opened, and at the same time, it is attached to the real-time online translation and download section, which are three versions of PC, Android and iOS.

Ren Hong injected all his existing funds into the company and left a little to spend all the rest on promotion, although it seemed a drop in the bucket, but this is the limit of what they can do at present, and at the same time, the six of them fully used their social circles to promote.

The real-time online translation was officially launched, and it was first promoted on campus, on the school's forum, etc., and the six people also made full use of their limited contacts, in short, to make the best use of things.

Just when the real-time online translation was officially launched, Ren Hong and his subordinates worked tirelessly to promote it in various ways, far away on the other side of the ocean, the headquarters of Facebook in Menlo Park, California.

The next day, Mark Zuckerberg sat motionless at his desk, as rumored to be, wearing a gray T-shirt all the time, the 32-year-old super-rich man of the world stared intently at his computer, just now, his assistant sent an urgent information, and he was staring at his computer intently.

He installed a PC version of the software sent to his computer, and before that, he was extremely shocked when he saw the report, how could there be such an application in the world? Now he's watching his computer without saying a word, and Zuckerberg is surfing the web using real-time online translation. He landed on his social networking platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, as well as video sites such as YouTube.

After a long silence, Zuckerberg stopped working on the computer, crossed his fingers on his forehead, closed his eyes, and then looked at the report again.

"China. Tsinghua University. Cherus Ren. Zuckerberg muttered to himself, and suddenly, he suddenly stood up from his seat and called his assistant: "Cancel all the itinerary and arrange a flight for me to Beijing, China immediately, remember immediately!" ”

Obviously, after seeing the real-time online mutual translation, Zuckerberg's performance was as Ren Hong expected, but one difference is that Zuckerberg's solemnity is the greatest, because he feels an incomparably strong sense of crisis, and the more such a supergiant, the stronger his sense of crisis becomes.

Zuckerberg knows very well that instant online translation is naturally a social networking platform, born for the Internet, and it is like a tiger with wings in its platform, and if it is used on competitors, this is an artifact that is enough to leverage the hegemony of any social network, before that, he did not care too much about his competitors, whether it is Twitter or Google+, because Facebook has formed a hegemony in the field of social networking.

But everything has changed with the birth of instant online translation, which makes social interaction and sharing smoother. Zuckerberg had already imagined that a competitor would be able to get exclusive rights to the app in the social networking space, which would be a real catastrophic shock for Facebook. He had to pay attention to the fact that this was an app that was enough to pry into the hegemony of a giant, and it was also an app that was enough to send a social network to become a giant.
