Chapter 284: Weibo, Twitter
In fact, it is not surprising that China has become the world's largest economy.
Everyone knows that sooner or later, China's economy will surpass that of the United States, but they didn't expect it to be so fast.
Since China's reform and opening up, it has only taken about 22 years to complete a miraculous surpass, which is really incredible.
Other countries are all envious, jealous and hateful.
At the same time, China's development model is all the more curious.
Especially for countries that are still developing, they are eager to learn from China's development model to rise and achieve national prosperity.
In the past, many countries liked to send international students to Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, but since this year, more and more foreign students have come to China to study.
All over the world, learning Chinese has become a craze.
Confucius Institutes are also beginning to blossom all over the world.
……
……
After the delegation arrived in the Maldives, they were immediately warmly received by the local community.
Even the king of the Maldives hosted them at a banquet.
The Maldives is genuinely looking to secure investment from Borderless Group to develop its economy.
As for the private islands that Wujiang Group wants to buy, the Maldives official said that it is willing to sell half and give it to Wujiang Group at a low price.
The Wujiang delegation visited the Maldives for more than a month and couldn't help but be deeply attracted by the charming scenery here.
"The Maldives is such a beautiful place, and with good infrastructure, it will definitely attract tourists from all over the world!" A member of the delegation couldn't help but sigh.
The colleagues on the side couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.
"The Maldives is known as the 'necklace of God's shedding on earth', and it really lives up to its name. I think the inspection mission can be over, which is fully in line with our investment requirements! Next, according to Zhao Dong's requirements, we will strive to win the airport, power station, communications, highways, banks and other projects in the Maldives!! The person in charge of the delegation said in a deep voice.
"Okay, Team Leader!" Everyone responded in unison.
……
On the morning of the next day, the delegation of Wujiang Group began to negotiate with the Maldives for a number of investments in airports, power stations, water supply, communications, highways, banks, retail, real estate, etc., with a total capital of no less than 20 billion US dollars.
Maldivian officials were overjoyed.
The two sides hit it off.
Of course, the Maldives will still fight for the benefits that should be fought for.
Although the Maldives is a small country, it does not want its economy to be completely dominated by the Borders group.
The negotiations went on for more than two months.
On July 21, 2001, Wujiang Group signed an investment agreement with the Maldives, which involved a series of investment projects, including the purchase of private islands.
On this day, the Maldives and Wujiang Group jointly held a press conference, which attracted global attention.
Of course, it is mainly the existence of the Borderless Group that attracts the attention of the media. The Maldives has previously been transparent in the eyes of many journalists.
At the press conference, the King of the Maldives attended in full costume with a happy smile on his face, and the faces of the accompanying officials were also full of joy.
This is an opportunity for the Maldives to take off, and from now on, the Maldives will say goodbye to poverty and become a rich country!
At this time, journalists from all over the world were puzzled.
Why is Borderless Group holding a press conference here, is it to invest in the Maldives?
It didn't take long for their doubts to be answered.
After a while, the person in charge of the delegation of Wujiang Group announced the content of the press conference on the stage.
"Hello everyone, welcome all journalists to come from afar to participate in this press conference jointly held by the Maldives and Wujiang Group. Today's press conference is also the investment signing ceremony between Wujiang Group and the Maldives, we have decided to invest in the Maldives, with 85 investment cooperation projects, involving a total amount of more than 20 billion US dollars! ”
As soon as the words fell, the reporters in the audience were in an uproar and were shocked.
How could Wujiang Group want to invest in such a poor place, and the investment amount is still so high!
"Fellow journalists, have you all experienced the scenery of the Maldives? It's a God-blessed place with stunning beaches and beautiful views, and it's a gem. We at Borderless Group believe that once the infrastructure of the Maldives is completed, it will attract tourists from all over the world. Mr. Zhao Ye, the founder of Wujiang Group, has purchased a number of private islands in the Maldives......"
Dongfang Gaojie is very aware of the reputation of his boss, and he specially mentioned Zhao Ye's purchase of a private island on the spot, so as to increase credibility and make more people curious about the Maldives, and only after the Maldives is developed in the future can it attract a large number of tourists to travel.
Sure enough, when the reporters heard that Zhao Ye had purchased a private island in the Maldives, their eyes lit up, and they thought that they hadn't come in vain, and the news material was there!
But anything related to Zhao Ye can always attract countless readers.
The purchase of a private island itself makes many ordinary people very curious, not to mention, the hero of the story is still Zhao Ye~
At this point, the reporters couldn't help but want to go back to writing.
……
The next day, major media around the world reported that Wujiang Group had made a huge investment in the Maldives, especially mentioning that Zhao Ye was attracted by the scenery of the Maldives and couldn't help but buy a private island here.
As soon as the news came out, it couldn't help but arouse the attention and curiosity of countless people around the world.
For the first time, the small, obscure country of the Maldives was known to countless people.
All of a sudden, the Maldives exploded!
Followed by.
Many well-known tourism companies, hotel groups, real estate groups, investment companies and other enterprises around the world have sent personnel to the Maldives.
The Borderless Group eats meat, and they follow to drink soup.
They believe that since Wujiang Group has invested so much money in the Maldives, it must be very optimistic about the future development of the Maldives, and with the resources mastered by Wujiang Group, it will definitely not let its huge investment go to waste, and will definitely try its best to ensure the success of the investment project!
Therefore, if you also invest in the Maldives, you will inevitably share the dividends brought by the development of the Maldives.
Moreover, the Maldives has now become a fragrant bun, and everyone will invest in it, which will ensure a higher success rate of the project.
……
The investment in the Maldives is not a big deal for Zhao Ye.
Right now, he is personally leading his staff to develop Weibo.
It must be rolled out by September.
Zhao Ye has introduced the size and function of Weibo to the members of the development team in detail, and there is no technical difficulty, as long as it is developed according to Zhao Ye's ideas.
The Weibo project was officially approved on July 1 and was completed in only 20 days.
However, the website has just been opened and has not yet been tested.
So, the test took another while.
During this period, some bugs were fixed.
By August 25, it was almost certain that the Weibo site was perfect.
Of course, Weibo is only the domestic version, and the name of the international version of Weibo, Zhao Ye chose to use Twitter.
The reason why the two brands are set up is because Weibo's public opinion propaganda ability is too strong, and it is easy to be targeted by the local government.
As a result, the development of a domestic version of Weibo and a foreign version of Twitter can be financed separately and gain the support of the local elite.
"Dong Zhao, Weibo and Twitter are basically perfect, when do you think they will be released?" Fu Xiaoyue, CEO of Weibo Group, asked.
"On September 1st, it's August 25th, while there are still a few days left, you can ask people to contact celebrities and elites from all walks of life, and on the day of Weibo's official release, settle in Weibo!! Oh yes......"
Zhao Ye paused and said, "On the evening of August 31st, a product launch conference will be held, and I will host the stage at that time to attract traffic to Weibo!" ”
Fu Xiaoyue said happily: "If you come to host the press conference, Dong Zhao, you will definitely attract the attention of the world, and our Weibo will definitely become popular overnight!" ”
Zhao Ye smiled slightly, noncommittal, his fans should be the most in the world, even if it is Michael Jackson, his fans are not as many as himself, of course, if you talk about the loyalty of fans, Michael Jackson is a little stronger, after all, if you can't hold a concert, many people will faint with excitement.
"Well, hurry up and prepare, the time is very tight, don't make any mistakes at the press conference." Zhao Ye admonished.
"No problem, Dong Zhao, you can rest assured."
Fu Xiaoyue said confidently.
This time is a rare opportunity for her, and it is also a great test.
She was only the external spokesperson of Wujiang Group before, although she was also very beautiful, but after all, she did not personally control a company to have a sense of achievement.
Moreover, with her keen sense of smell as a news person, the product of Weibo will inevitably become popular all over the country and become a current phenomenon.
……
At this time, the hottest stars in China are actually those artists in Hong Kong.
Therefore, Fu Xiaoyue asked people to go to Hong Kong to contact those artists to settle in Weibo as soon as possible.
"Hello Brother Cheng Long, I am Su Congchun, the account manager of the Weibo website of a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, and we sincerely invite you to join our Weibo website!"
Su Congchun found Cheng Long who was filming on the set, and hurriedly stepped forward to contact him while he was resting.
"You're from the Borderless Group?"
"Hmm!"
When Cheng Long heard this, his expression suddenly changed from casual to positive.
How dare he not give face to the Wujiang Group.
So he sat up straight and asked seriously, "What is the Weibo site you are talking about?" ”
Su Congchun was articulate and immediately explained: "Weibo is a broadcast-style social media and network platform that shares short and real-time information through a follower mechanism based on the sharing, dissemination and acquisition of user relationship information. Brother Cheng Long, once you settle in the Weibo website, we can give you a big V certification to reflect your identity! ”
Cheng Long asked, "Then what are the benefits of me entering this Weibo site?" ”
Su Congchun replied: "Brother Cheng Long, you have many benefits of entering the Weibo website, fans can always pay attention to your dynamics through Weibo, and if you publish information, fans will see it, so as to increase your exposure and maintain the popularity of the artist." And you can also interact with your followers on Weibo, so as to increase the stickiness of your followers. ”
When Cheng Long heard this, he immediately felt that the Weibo website seemed to be quite good.
"Is your website ready? I'd like to find out for myself. ”
"It's already been developed, if Brother Cheng Long wants to watch it, we just need to find a place where we can access the Internet."
"Okay, when today's scene is filmed, I'll invite you to the Peninsula Hotel for dinner, where there is a computer and you can access the Internet!"
"Brother Cheng Long, it should be me who invited you!"
"Haha, don't be polite to me, I heard you say this Weibo, I feel that it is very helpful to our stars, it should be me to invite you! Well, that's it! Cheng Long smiled and said without a beak.
Su Congchun had no choice but to agree, and besides, it cost a lot to go to the Peninsula Hotel for dinner.
……
At the same time, other artists in Hong Kong, including Stephen Chow, Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Jacky Cheung, Cheung Kwok Wing and others, have also been invited.
Of course, people in the domestic entertainment industry are no exception, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Gong Li and others are also invited.
In addition, there are many celebrities, including presenters, professors, well-known scientists, and many more, who are also invited.
Weibo, in the name of Wujiang Group, is unstoppable.
As soon as these people heard that it was a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, and then after learning about Weibo, they agreed to settle in Weibo, and they would update their first Weibo on the day Weibo was officially released.
Zhao Ye has been paying attention to the entry of celebrities on Weibo, and Sina Weibo in his previous life was still relatively slow at the beginning of its development. In this life, when Fu Xiaoyue reported to him, Zhao Ye couldn't help but sigh that fame is sometimes really useful.
With the name of "Borderless", who dares not to give face.
All those who are invited agree to enter Weibo for free.
Zhao Ye doesn't know if Sina in his previous life spent money to invite celebrities to settle in when he promoted Weibo, but he thought there should be.
At that time, Weibo was just an inconspicuous product, and celebrities were generally big names, so how could they agree if they were asked to do things without giving money.
A few days passed quickly.
The product launch of Wujiang Group will be held soon.
Fu Xiaoyue has announced that this press conference is very important, and Mr. Zhao Ye, the founder of Wujiang Group, will personally preside over the press conference.
Good guys, as soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in major media.
On the day of the press conference, reporters from all over the world attended the event, and the number of reporters alone exceeded 500.
At the same time, countless business bigwigs also attended, obviously wanting to understand the content of the press conference for the first time.
The venue of the press conference was the Borderless Building.
The hall can accommodate thousands of people.
At this time, it was almost full.
Before the press conference began, there was already a lot of discussion in the audience, and it was obvious that everyone was extremely interested in this press conference.
Perhaps Wujiang Group is going to launch another epoch-making product.
You must know that every time Zhao Ye personally hosts the press conference, he is very extraordinary, and he will definitely launch products that shock the world.
August 31, 2001, at 8 o'clock in the evening.
The lights on the stage of the press conference were lit up, and then a burst of soft music sounded, at this time everyone gradually stopped talking and turned their eyes to the stage, and then saw Zhao Ye wearing a black suit, shining on the stage......
