Reborn multinational giant

A few years ago, the stranger because of participation in the Chinese Internet entrepreneurship contest and the whole network became popular, Ehrlich and Richard team had copied the stranger, and made an identical kiki.

They thought that they would take advantage of the fact that the stranger was not yet online in the foreign country and grab a time difference.

Kiki was originally sought after by Silicon Valley investors, but no one was interested in it overnight. Fortunately, Peter Thiel, a big shot in Silicon Valley, was not used to the arrogance of this Chinese software and invested money in Kiki to let them survive.

Later, in order to survive, kiki was transformed into a same-sex stranger social network, a field that strangers had never been involved in, and instead of dying, kiki became the leader in the same-sex stranger social network.

When the stranger went public last year, kiki followed suit, with a market capitalization of more than $1 billion, and was well received by Apple's ceo Cook, Google's vice president Megan Smith, and actor Jim Parsons, who played Sheldon, the lead actor of the Big Bang Theory, among other celebrities.

With the success of kiki, Ehrlich and Richard's team, the company has gone from being a loser with a reputation as a plagiarist, to a billionaire!

The success of kiki has changed the way of thinking of Ehrlich and many startup teams in Silicon Valley, plagiarism is no longer something Silicon Valley entrepreneurs hate and despise, as long as they can make money, as long as they can be successful and go public, the reputation of plagiarists will always be washed away by money!

Moreover, in the past, Chinese entrepreneurs have been copying Silicon Valley, but nowadays, Silicon Valley entrepreneurs are just doing what others are doing.

Since a few years ago, there is a new genre of entrepreneurs in the Silicon Valley startup circle, and the entrepreneurs in this genre keep an eye on the Chinese startup circle, and whenever there is any fire on the Chinese side, the startup team in Silicon Valley immediately learn to copy the same project.

This way is easy and fast, and it's easy to get investors to invest in your company.

Ehrlich, a billionaire and an all-around fun-loving entrepreneur, had the good sense to create an "innovation workshop" to support startups that "learn" from China.

Ehrlich himself has become one of the most famous angel investors in Silicon Valley, and has become a sought-after figure in many startup teams.

This time, the project that is widely sought after by venture capital firms and investors in Silicon Valley is the new project of Richard's team from Innovation Works, the short video project Reels.

Richard and his team quit one after another, except for Dinesh who stayed on as the CEO of kiki, and they all went back to their previous business.

Richard's team, firstly, followed the original intention, and finished the project that was sealed before they started kiki.

Last summer, after Shakespeare became a big hit in China, Richard's team, who had been keeping an eye on the Chinese startup scene, quickly made Reels.

This time they got smart, not only did they invest a lot of money in hiring R&D staff to quickly finish the development of Reels, but they also put a lot of thought into the design of Reels, and even if Shakespeare hired the best lawyers to sue them, they couldn't find any traces of plagiarism at all.

After that, Ehrlich and Richard, who had already become billionaires or multi-millionaires by virtue of kiki, spent a lot of money to promote Reels.

They understood that they had to move fast this time, or else Reels would make the same mistake as kiki when Shakespeare was launched worldwide.

The good news was that the gods seemed to be favoring them, and although Shakespeare had been a hit in China since last summer, for some reason there was no rush to launch overseas in the US and elsewhere.

With plenty of time, Reels took advantage of this time to make great progress and achieve great results.

As of this summer, Reels, which has been online for nearly a year, has accumulated over 30 million users in the US, Canada, Europe and other countries and regions.

Reels is valued at over a billion dollars in Silicon Valley, and Ehrlich and Richard's team, once again, have succeeded!

Half a month ago, after Shakespeare's global promotion with the Ice Bucket Challenge began to catch fire, Silicon Valley was flooded with calls and visits from top companies and investors, and Reels' valuation began to rise.

"Smith, I've told you for a long time that $2 billion is the most conservative valuation, and you didn't appreciate it half a month ago, and now you have the nerve to call me and ask if there's an investment opportunity?"

"Mary, why don't you little bitches come to my house these days? What, you're pregnant? No way, I always wear a condom, I'm not the kind of person who disrespects women. Oh, your husband's. That's good, that's good.

Don't worry, I'll convince Richard to save you a seat, after all, you helped them succeed in the first place, and I, Erlich, am not the kind of person who is ungrateful."

"Sara, my dear baby, no no no, I was just jerking off, how could I be taking a call from that little bitch Mary, I only have you in my heart, really, I swear to God!

Even you heard about it? Yes yes, Reels valuation is indeed skyrocketing and you man I'm about to cross the billion dollar threshold! I'll go with you next week to buy a yacht."

"In the office of the president of Innovation Works, Ehrlich, with his feet resting on his desk, was lazily answering a number of phone calls that came in on the wind.

At that moment, his secretary Mary knocked on the door and walked in. Erlich wandered around the large jelly in front of Mary, his mind flooded with bad thoughts.

Mary coughed up her throat and said, "Ehrlich, the Sequoia people are outside, would you like to meet them, and Richard asked me to let you know about the meeting at 3:00 p.m. They say they want to discuss a competitive strategy for Jitterbug."

Ehrlich's lips were slightly parted, his eyes blazed, and he said with a bad smile on his face.

"Let's lock the door and we'll meet the Sequoia's after we finish our business."

Hearing this Mary had a flirtatious smile on her face as she turned and locked the door and pulled the blinds next to her, then turned around and pinched her chest to lift her dress and quickly walked to the desk in front of Erlich and dug down.

......

Half an hour later, Mary and Ehrlich came out of the president's office, and the employees who saw this scene not far away looked at each other and went back to their work.
