Chapter 308: Taking advantage of the situation to publicize
HEARING FACEBOOK, DIANA HAD A PUZZLED LOOK ON HER FACE, APPARENTLY A NAME SHE HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE.
"Lu, please forgive me for being shallow, is this software you mentioned from Huaguo?"
IN FACT, AT THIS TIME, FACEBOOK'S POPULARITY IN THE UNITED STATES WAS INDEED VERY LOW, BECAUSE ZUCKERBERG WAS LIMITED BY FUNDS AND WAS ONLY PROMOTING IT ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES.
EVEN TO REGISTER A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT, YOU NEED TO USE AN EMAIL WITH A UNIVERSITY DOMAIN EXTENSION, WHICH ALSO LEADS TO THE FACT THAT FACEBOOK'S CURRENT REPUTATION HAS ONLY BEGUN TO SPREAD AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS, AND HAS NOT ATTRACTED SOCIAL ATTENTION.
ZUCKERBERG, WHO WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE, HEARD DIANA'S QUESTION AND IMMEDIATELY GAVE LU CHONG A THUMBS UP, OBVIOUSLY GIVING LU CHONG THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPLACE FACEBOOK.
OF COURSE, LU CHONG WOULD NOT MISS SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY, AND IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO INTRODUCE FACEBOOK.
"NO, IT'S A SOFTWARE DEVELOPED BY YOU AMERICANS, I GOT AN ACCOUNT BY CHANCE, QUICKLY GOT HOOKED ON IT, AND GOT ACQUAINTED WITH AVIL THROUGH FACEBOOK. ”
"BUT DIANA REPORTER, IT'S NORMAL THAT YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF FACEBOOK, AS FAR AS I KNOW, IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE ACTIVITY AND QUALITY OF USERS, THE DEVELOPERS OF THE SOFTWARE ARE NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC TO REGISTER, BUT LIMIT ITS USE TO UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES. BUT RECENTLY THEY'RE PLANNING A LIMITED OPENING OF REGISTRATION OUTSIDE OF CAMPUS, SO YOU CAN GIVE IT A TRY, AND I PROMISE YOU'LL LOVE FACEBOOK AS MUCH AS I do!"
LU CHONG DID NOT POINT OUT THAT FACEBOOK'S DEVELOPER WAS ON THE SCENE, AND HE WAS ALREADY THE SECOND LARGEST SHAREHOLDER OF THE SOFTWARE, SO THE SIGNS OF ADVERTISING WOULD BE TOO OBVIOUS AND WOULD NOT HAVE THE EFFECT THEY SHOULD HAVE.
AVRIL LOOKED AT LU CHONG'S SERIOUS APPEARANCE AND SMILED SECRETLY IN HER HEART, BUT SHE ALSO KNEW THAT LU CHONG ATTACHED GREAT IMPORTANCE TO FACEBOOK, AND IMMEDIATELY INTERJECTED: "FACEBOOK DOES HAVE A KIND OF MAGIC THAT MAKES PEOPLE FASCINATED, SPEAKING OF WHICH, I HAVE TO THANK THE FRIEND WHO PROVIDED ME WITH THE ACCOUNT, OTHERWISE I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MEET LU CHONG BY COINCIDENCE AND GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO PERFORM ON STAGE AT THE CLOSING CEREMONY OF THE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP!"
Lu Chong and Avril strongly recommended a social software one after another, which immediately aroused the strong interest of many TV viewers, and even those who were anxious had begun to ask college students they knew if there was really such a magical software.
Diana is one of the ace reporters of "Good Morning America", and she has a good image and temperament, so she was able to get the opportunity to interview Lu Chong on the spot.
Lu Chong and Avril's performance immediately aroused her vigilance, and she immediately changed the topic and asked: "So, what about our other question, your relationship with Avril now should not only stop at netizens, otherwise how could your first single appear under Avril's name, it is said that Avril almost got a lawsuit because of it." ”
LU CHONG ALSO KNOWS THE TRUTH OF ACCEPTING IT WHEN HE SEES IT, AS LONG AS THE NAME FACEBOOK IS PRINTED IN THE HEARTS OF THE AMERICAN AUDIENCE, WHEN FACEBOOK REALLY STARTS TO PROMOTE, THE SEEDS PLANTED IN THIS INTERVIEW WILL BE ABLE TO START TO WORK.
SO HE NO LONGER BOTHERED WITH THE TOPIC OF FACEBOOK, AND REPLIED WITH A SMILE: "OF COURSE IT'S NOT JUST THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NETIZENS!"
Diana's face immediately showed excitement, with Lu Chong's current hotness, and Avril was originally a rising star recently, the relationship between the two would definitely be explosive news if confirmed.
However, after Lu Chong paused, he continued: "We have already met, can we still call netizens? There is a saying in our Huaguo that netizens meet as seeing the light and die, but fortunately Avril and I have no such problems, this meeting has brought our relationship closer and become real good friends." Of course, our relationship is nothing more than what you guessed to be boyfriend and girlfriend. ”
Originally, in this case, Diana would also ask some questions about the relationship between Lu Chong and Avril. HOWEVER, LU CHONG AND AVRIL'S PERFORMANCE JUST NOW ALERTED HER, AND SHE WAS AFRAID THAT THE TWO WOULD PULL THE TOPIC BACK TO FACEBOOK, SO SHE IMMEDIATELY THREW OUT THE SECOND QUESTION.
"Thank you for your answer, and I hope your friendship will last forever, so let's look at the second question that the audience is most interested in: You once mentioned outside the gate of the CIA that the kung fu used to subdue the hijackers on the plane is called Bajiquan, can we ordinary people reach the same level as you after formal practice?"
Kung Fu, with the arrival of Chinese superstar Bruce Lee in Hollywood in the last century, has become one of the iconic symbols of Chinese culture in the United States. For example, the reason why Eduardo became a fan of Lu Chong is precisely because of his worship of kung fu and becoming a superhero, which can be said to be a dream in the hearts of the vast majority of Americans, and this issue is ranked second, and it is natural that this issue is ranked second.
Lu Chong's understanding of Bajiquan is actually not too deep, so he is reluctant to mention it too much, after all, the more he talks, the more wrong he is. In case he said something wrong, it would be bad for a real Bajiquan master to see the flaws, and before returning to China to ask Old Man Xu for advice, Lu Chong was not going to elaborate on Bajiquan.
After shaking his head, Lu Chong said: "I understand the enthusiasm of the American people for kung fu, but everyone should know that most of our Chinese kung fu has to be practiced from an early age. It's not that adults can't practice Kung Fu, it's just that if you want to really achieve something, you have a better chance of starting to practice it from a young age. ”
"Of course, if you practice boxing since you were a child, you will definitely succeed, and this also involves everyone's qualifications and potential, and I can't explain it clearly for a while. In short, I am in favor of everyone learning Kung Fu with the mentality of strengthening the body, but whether you can achieve something depends on your personal creation. ”
Lu Chong's meaning is very clear, if you want to learn Bajiquan, it is your choice, but if you want to have great achievements, it is basically impossible for adults. As for children going to school, how can they see the results in ten or eight years, which is a little difficult for pragmatic Americans to accept.
Moreover, Lu Chong used the mysterious words of qualification and creation in his words, if someone really took the time to learn boxing and ended up with nothing, he only needed to say that the other party was not qualified enough or could not be created.
Eduardo, who was next to Zuckerberg, couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment when he heard this. In fact, the reason why he insisted on leaving 1% of the equity was not only to pay tribute to Lu Chong, but also to retain a connection with Lu Chong, hoping that one day he would have the opportunity to learn boxing from him.
Now it seems that this dream has not yet begun, and it seems that it is about to be shattered......
