“Boss, here's what you need. ”

Alvitelli took a file bag out of the bag and handed it to Andy, he said.

Andy took over the file bag and opened it and smiled at Budderstone and said, "Bud, you have the predator team, and I hope to hear more good news. ”

“Yes, boss, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to the office. ”

Andy nodded with a smile and looked at Budstone's departure, then lowered his head and began to look at the information in his hand, at first glance, without difficulty for him to shorthand.

“ ”Andy tapped his fingers gently on those pieces of material, squinting his eyes, his right hand touching his chin and thinking like a very tangled pair.

“Boss, are you trying to acquire this website called Twitter's SHE network and Twitter blog service? ”

Alvitelli saw his boss's tangled expression and knew that the boss had tough questions to decide, so she asked.

“I had this idea, but at the same time I had this idea of a new APP app, and I wanted to do a similar she delivery platform for a microblogging service. Twitter is an off-the-shelf company that can save a lot of money if it can be acquired.” Andy Shu stretched his eyebrows, saying nothing to Al.

“I do not recommend the acquisition of this internet company, which I have carefully studied and analyzed, which is the next step in the rational development of the existing blog site and the initial stage of blogging. It's easy to type 140 words and send them to the web, and they also process the information. The advantage is that direct and important information can be provided, which is not comparable to other SHE referral sites.

But this company also has several major problems, the problem of charging for text messages will cause users to worry about the increase in the cost of text messages. After all, the Watsp you developed has become the most popular chat tool of the day, cross-platform mobile chat in real time, free message pushing, has begun to change people's use of charging text messages.

When they first came out this year, they seemed promising as the best way for netizens in the southern part of the United States to find a party, but with the launch of WHATSapp, the data flow and the number of messages sent by Twitter has clearly shrunk sharply, and Watsp has begun to squeeze its space for survival, and if Watsp had a SHE platform, I don't think Twitter would have been a good time.

And one of the most critical questions, I don't see how Twitter makes money, and there are media interviews with some of Twitter's founders, and they ask the same question, and they answer the question to the journalists, and they give Google as an example, which means they know that they don't make money. ”

Andy listened to Al's analysis and nodded in agreement. It was always disgusting that Twitter had not solved the issue of profitability even when it was listed, "but the advantages of Twitter could not be ignored. After all, it was very advantageous to be able to send messages to the outside world even without the Internet. ”

Alvitelli couldn't help but laugh at what the boss said: “Boss, even so, we didn't have to acquire it. They've already started raising money from the outside, hoping to find a venture capital to get the money burned, but it's not easy. The advent of Watsp diminished the value of Twitter, but Twitter still insists that their market value is 200 million dollars, and I don't think the boss would be willing to spend 200 million dollars to acquire the company, and I think that's enough money to set up a company of its own, and I'm sure the boss will come up with a better product than they do, as for the technicians after the company, huh? ”

Andy touched his chin, his hands lagged, his mouth ripped, his eyes lit, his mouth curled, he smiled, and he looked at Al with the same smile, and he said, "Oh, do you think it would be too much if I dug up the whole team when Twitter was so hard? ”

“Well, it's too much, huh, but first we have to solve some patent problems, even now Twitter neglects, IBM's patent barriers, since they are SMS push platforms, cannot avoid IBM, now they are potential infringements, Twitter is also a small company, IBM didn't play the patent stick to its fatal blow, I don't think IBM's legal department is unclear, but is holding back, hoping to maximize benefits, if the boss is also going to launch this kind of microblogging service platform, then I think we should first buy the relevant patents held by IBM to acquire new technology and build a protective network against infringement litigation attacks. Even if Twitter persists in the future, we can make them cripple! ”

Andy is deeply convinced that his whatsapp, although a new IT company, has 11 patents in his hands so far, and more than 60 patents are pending, but here in the United States, the lack of intellectual property rights for any new Internet company could make the company the target of litigation and limit its ability to fight back by claiming its own patents without establishing a patent protection network, which would be really silly, the better it develops, and the more lawsuits it eats.

“It is inevitable for think tanks to list related patents and potentially infringing patents, which we pay to buy, that this cannot be resolved sooner, that the purchase of patents will provide us with a fuller protection of intellectual property rights and give us greater freedom of movement to innovate on behalf of all those who use our services.” Andy attaches great importance to patent barriers. Why Facebook likes big fish to eat small fish, dare to play snake swallow, take the money from listing financing to exterminate potential opponents everywhere. Anyone who thinks it might be threatening to acquire them is buying because most of the companies Facebook buys are new Internet companies, besides eliminating opponents, with powerful patent barriers built from a single acquisition, in the IT industry in the United States a phrase is popular, maybe a garage has been born to replace your creativity!

And with patent barriers, you don't have to worry about suddenly popping up a garage entrepreneur to become a new legend, a new challenger, a single patent barrier can strangle these potential threats in the cradle, which is why the more countries' Internet industries grow to the end, instead of creating a giant monster oligarchy, Internet entrepreneurship becomes more and more difficult.

“Understood that work was already under way.” Al nodded that he understood and had instructed someone to do it, that he still knew his boss's personality very well, that he liked to take initiative in everything and didn't like to be constrained by people.

Sending Alvitelli away, Andy started spinning with a pen in his hand, and his brain was running fast, not just to create the Instagram Photo Wall, a she intersecting app running on the mobile, but Instagram, an APP app that lets users grab pictures of each other in quick, wonderful, and fun ways at any time. Combine microblogging to create your own unique platform site that can send 140 text messages like Twitter, and bundle the functionality of microblogging and photo walls. After all, the value of a single Instagram photo wall is no longer enough for Andy's current appetite.

In this way, this new Internet model can completely replace the untapped Twitter and wipe out this opponent, if, of course, Twitter survives Andy's first round of digging.

Andy picked up the phone and called Guanghui International Consultancy, Hyderstell International Co., Ltd., the two largest hunting companies in the United States, with only one request, Twitter's development and management team, both of which he did.

For important customers like Andy Smith, nobody wants to ignore them. After hanging up the phone, the two companies immediately meet to form a team to take charge of this exhumation mission. As for Twitter's death, it's not their consideration. Now that the big man is focused, all they have to do is solve the problem according to the customer's requirements and satisfy the customer.

“You should know how much our youngest billionaire in the world likes to use a professional manager, and every professional manager is well trusted, and this time his goal is very clear, Twitter, a small company in the San Francisco Silicon Valley, and Mr. Smith's request is to dig up Twitter's development team and all but three of its founders' management teams.” The CEO of GLORY INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANT CORPORATION, with his hands pressed against the conference table, looked around for a week and looked sharply in front of him, saying to everyone present.
