Reborn multinational giant

"Mr. Fang, Richard called and wanted to meet with you for a time."

Li Wen, the secretary, knocked on the door of the president's office and informed Fang Zhe of the news.

"Let's say Thursday afternoon then, you tell him to come see me." Fang Zhe, who was busy with his official duties, replied without looking up.

As Li Wen was about to go out, Fang Zhe changed his mind again and said, "Forget it, you tell him to come over now, so that he doesn't have something on his mind for the past two days, which will affect his work efficiency!"

At 3:00 p.m. that day, Richard appeared in Fang Zhe's office.

This is not the first time this kind of scene appears.

Since Richard served as the future CEO of YueMotion, the future of YueMotion, especially regarding the Shakespeare's many important things Richard need to report to Fang Zhe and discuss, although the CEO of Richard is a little lame, but he also recognized the work mode.

The future of YueMotion is the son of Fang Zhe and Feng Xue, and Richard, the CEO, is nothing more than a senior worker, he has this awareness.

What's more, often meeting and communicating with Fang Zhe and listening to his guidance, Richard feels that he has made great progress, and he is more and more confident that he can change from an ordinary professional manager to a top professional manager who is renowned in China and even in the world, just like Apple CEO Cook, who makes tens of millions of dollars a year as a senior wage earner!

"Sit! It's not your first time here, so why are you still so formal!"

Richard leaned over and carefully took the cup of tea from Fang Zhe with both hands before taking two steps back and sitting gently on the sofa.

"Mr. Fang, I'm sure you've seen the news that Google has spent 1.5 billion US dollars to invest in Reels, Jitterbug's foreign competitor.

Reels is the one with the best momentum and potential among the many overseas imitators of Jitterbug.

Since its launch last summer, Reels has more than 30 million registered users overseas, more than double the total registered users of the overseas version of Shakespeare's tiktok.

Now that Reels has Google's help, I'm worried that Reels will be a tiger with wings and become Shakespeare's strongest competitor in the future."

Fang Zhe laughed softly at the words and asked.

"Have you ever used Reels, how did it feel?"

Richard nodded and said.

"Used, feel a little rough and stiff, the experience is not very good, it in many places, only learned the appearance of Shakespeare, but not the essence of it, for example, his UI design, is modeled on the Chinese version of Shakespeare design, and in fact when we launched tiktok abroad, the UI made a lot of simplified design in line with Western users accustomed to, I was I didn't think Reels, a Silicon Valley company, would even do this kind of detail well.

In addition, the most essential and core content of Shakespeare is the recommendation algorithm and content operation, and Reels' recommendation algorithm is very ordinary.

What I can't figure out is, with the quality of Reels' products, how can it accumulate more than 30 million users in just one year, no matter if it's another product that imitates Shakespeare in China or abroad, no product can have such a good performance as it does."

"You're right if you can't figure it out, over the past few years, news of various startups falsifying data is commonplace, and I'm afraid only they themselves know if Reels data has any water in it!"

"No, they got an investment from Google, and with Google's ability, they can't see the problems?" Richard was a bit incredulous.

"From the time Shakespeare started to be widely promoted overseas until now, it's only half a month, Google is anxious to eat this piece of meat of Reels, and will inevitably overlook some details.

However, it doesn't matter whether their data is watery or not, the important thing is that this time, with Google providing them with enough ammunition, even if they spend money on it, they will be able to hit enough users to scale up!"

"Reels' ads can be seen on Google Search, Google App Store, appstore, 91 Assistant, and even in the WeChat circle of friends in many overseas countries. It is also ranking in the top 20 on the App Store in other countries, and is trending past tiktok!"

When it comes to the WeChat circle of friends, Richard smiled awkwardly, don't look at Fangzhe and Huizhong as the father of Shakespeare, WeChat should take the ads as usual, even if Reels is a competitor of Shakespeare.

WeChat is not concerned about the money Reels spent on advertising, but rather to avoid anti-monopoly trouble.

Compared to Richard's concern, the experienced Fang Zhe is relaxed and comfortable, even if Reels has Google's ammunition to add, what can it do, in front of Huizhong, the mobile Internet hegemon, all enemies will be destroyed.

"I have long said that big companies are always afraid of the new, not of copying. When faced with startups, Huizhong rarely uses its power to overwhelm others, but this time, since Reels copied us, I'll let them see what it means to use its power to overwhelm others!

Richard Li looked at Fang Zhe's face, and although he didn't know exactly what measures Fang Zhe would take, his heart was infected with an extra surge of confidence.

A week later, WeChat's global versions (not including the China version) underwent a massive version update.

The content of this update was to open up the video number!

As early as the beginning of Chinese New Year, WeChat had opened the video number in the Chinese version, and in just half a month, it diverted over 10 million users for Shakespeare, which made Richard and the future Shakespeare operation team of YueDong feel the terror of WeChat traffic for the first time!

This time, WeChat opened its video number to the world, and both Richard and many people who follow the globalization of Jitterbug have the feeling that they will crush their competitors.

New York, Brooklyn, Mike woke up in the morning and opened WeChat to browse his circle of friends.

Suddenly, Mike noticed a new column below the circle of friends, the video number! Apparently, while he was sleeping, his iPhone had been automatically updated with WeChat.

Mike curiously tapped into the video number.

On the page, is a left and right distribution of short videos, at the moment, in the center of the left side of the screen, short videos have begun to play automatically.

Three hot body beauties scratching their heads in a dance, watching Mike's blood boiling.

Mike couldn't help but tap in to zoom in on the video, and after 15 seconds of video play, Mike was still enjoying it, on the page, the guide prompted him to scroll up and down.

Mike held his thumb on the phone screen, a thumb up, a tall, blond, twisting waist of a beautiful woman, back to her back, walking forward, when she turned back, Mike's brain a blank, he never thought that there was such a good-looking woman in the world!

Lying on his bed, Mike lost track of time and kept swiping through video after video, happy, excited, or fascinated!

Half an hour later, as the fascinated Mike was trying to move on, the page prompted him to download tiktok if he wanted to watch more videos, click to download!

Mike did not have the slightest hesitation, and directly clicked on the download.

This time, even after three hours, there was no page to prompt or disturb him to paint the video again!

All over the world, many users, like Mike, have downloaded tiktok under the guidance of the WeChat video number page.

Only one day after the launch of the WeChat video number, more than 80 million users around the world have watched videos using the WeChat video number, and among them, nearly one tenth of them, more than 8 million, have downloaded tiktok through the guide page!

In one day, tiktok added more than 8 million new users worldwide, and tiktok's global user base, more than 20 million!

Three days later, tiktok's total number of users worldwide exceeded 30 million!

Half a month later, the total number of tiktok users around the world exceeded 50 million!

In less than half a month, tiktok's global user base overtook Reels, and tiktok's ranking in the world's major app stores grew rapidly, ranking in the top 5.

With the exposure of tiktok on the top of the app store list, the sharing and retweeting of more than 50 million users, and the continuous infusion of WeChat video number, the total number of tiktok global users began to grow rapidly by millions per day!

Silicon Valley, CEO Office of Innovation Works.

Boom!

Ehrlich angrily slammed the mac computer on the table on the floor.

"fu**, fu**tiktok, fu**fangzhe, fu**Chinese, this is a monopoly! It's illegal competition! It's bullying! Shame on you! Despicable! Kam!"

The onslaught of the WeChat video was like a ferocious flood, destroying everything Reels had worked for all year!

"Ehrlich! Franz, a partner at Google Capital, just called! He said that because Reels was found to have falsified user data, the previous investment agreement with us was officially null and void!"

Mary, who pushed in the door, brought Ehrlich news that took his breath away a bit!

"It's over! I'm going broke!" Ehrlich remembered his own overdraft the other day on a Riva 63 yacht, a mansion in New York, and a Gulfstream V private jet, which his Reels stock could be used as collateral to buy if the Google investment paid off or if there was hope for Reels' future.

But now .....

Ehrlich passed out!
