Still, Wait For Me

On September 9, 2005, Happy Farm was officially launched on Weibo the night before.

Xu Tiansheng sat alone in the room, a little excited and a little nervous.

Excitement comes from anticipation, challenging the expectations of a huge, once unimaginable man he has seen.

Anxiety also ensues, and all the preparations are ready to make a sum of money in a short, flat and quick way, which does not seem to be a big problem. What really upsets him is that Weibo's comparison with QQ in terms of accumulating "intimate interaction crowds” seems to be about to begin.

As a reborn man who has seen the Tencent Empire, an ordinary man once, and even a loser, Xu Tiansheng is more awed of this huge future than anyone can imagine.

These include Hu Sam and Ha 'aretz.

They are equally unable to realize at this time that Xu is competing for a user base that will make them less disadvantaged in the future. And the other side, in fact, has a natural advantage and has the upper hand.

Although Tencent ranked only 25th in the “Top 100 Companies in China's Software Industry in 2005” this year.

But it was also the same year that QQ registered more than 300 million users, while the number of people online exceeded tens of millions and users became more active, expanding from a younger user group to a middle aged and even younger user group.

It is madly accumulating the most valued "intimate interactive crowd” of gardeners, fostering people's daily dependence on QQ.

This is the basis for everything in that future empire.

In contrast, there are 80 million registered Twitter users, countless zombie numbers, and fewer active daily accounts.

Weibo data is temporarily unable to count simultaneously online, but it is clear that this number will be much lower than the other party's. And in terms of the composition and adsorption of the user group, it is completely incomparable with each other.

Weibo user base coverage is also now largely limited to young groups, and for most of them, Weibo accounts can be abandoned and forgotten at any time.

It's the scariest.

For Weibo, a lot of people are temporarily up to sign up for two days of play and throw it aside. Most of them just occasionally think of it, so they come and leave a message for their favorite stars, online red, or participate in a discussion about a topic.

There are even many people who have long forgotten their registered accounts.

“Enthusiasm for something, someone” can never be more stable than "everyday habits”.

The most important thing for the future is whether or not you can get most of your accounts back, call friends, pull family into the pit, be active and build a small “interaction circle” that is difficult to abandon through the fun farm game, thus vexing the veins and creating an "interaction platform” that is hard to abandon.

Meanwhile, Xu Tiansheng also verified a message online that his memory was not clear. One of Tencent's earliest and most successful games, QQ Fantasy, is already warming up and will go live by the end of October.

In the rebirth novels I have seen in previous life, the reborn “bend” some future elders, one by one, into “little brother”. Such YY court students would be embarrassed to think, want to laugh... too uncomfortable.

While the power of prediction is great, people are still that person, Xu Tiansheng didn't come out with "Wang Ba Qi" because of rebirth, and the wrist and ability to shake without knowing where it came from.

In fact, neither from the point of view of ambition nor from the awe of "rebirth", Xu Tiansheng had not thought that he could defeat Teng Xun or even stifle Teng Xun. A few years backwards, this may still exist, but by 2005 it had been difficult.

To be precise, Xu Tiansheng's current psychology is actually just imitating it and hoping to split a cup.

He would even hope that Tencent would not notice the problem too soon, and that, best of all, they themselves were not aware of the importance of it.

Happy farm is only the first step for Xu gardeners, to accumulate “intimate interactive groups” and become “everyday habits”, there is still a long way to go, but this step is related to whether the change in Weibo attributes can open the situation.

……

……

Huang Yaming is coming at night.

“Are you all right? Not busy at the bar?” Xu Tiansheng asked.

“Busy, I need to talk to you.” Huang Yaming sat straight down and saw the wine on the coffee table and poured himself a glass as well.

“What can't you say on the phone? ”

“I don't know. Did you get a call from Tianyi? ”

Xu Tiansheng shook his head.

“You called me and you told them about at least 4 million dollars for the promotion of the film, right? ”

“Exactly. ”

Xu Tinsheng said that there had been no significant increase in the investment in the film itself because Xu Tinsheng feared that the cost would inadvertently be too high to destroy the original appearance of "Mad Stone," but he did not intend to be stingy about the publicity costs, and the $4 million was just the bottom line.

“Where's the money?” Huang Yaming poured half a glass of wine like water, asked.

“Can't get it out for now.” Xu Tiansheng said.

“Not at all? Huang Yaming said," Really?... Mutual honesty is making a lot of noise every day... Didn't Sincerely sell a bunch of houses?... that's all you're missing? ”

Xu Tinsheng smiled bitterly and said: “The movie is produced by you and Tianyi in cooperation, not between the company. There are many shareholders, sincere and sincere. With or without money, unless I borrow it, it is not easy to make us a movie. In fact, both families are short of money at the moment. ”

“What about Weibo? You're always on your own there now, aren't you?” Huang Yaming asked.

“Yes, but there's no wage to pay next month. ”

Xu Tinsheng also had a sip of wine. His mouth, in Huang Yaming's view, was bitter wine. He could not believe it. Xu Tinzheng was really so “miserable” at the moment.

“What should we do? I don't have that much at the bar right now," Huang Yaming said with some depression, "If it's a good time to call you, what do you say, or if they don't call you, what should I say? I just said I was gonna ask you. ”

“Tell me first, who called you? ”

“Shao Jun.” Huang Yaming said one of Xu's most familiar vice presidents Tianyi, and asked, “Yes, why didn't they call you? Isn't that Mr. Shi himself?... afraid to ask for money to be embarrassed? ”

It's business. Money never needs to be embarrassed.

Xu Tinsheng thought about it and roughly understood that Shi Zhongjun was trying to see if his cash flow had really been interrupted, as he said outside, so many analytical articles he could not have failed to pay attention at all... Besides, he was a man of heart and had been trying to expand his shares in mutual honesty.

So, if Xu Tiansheng is in trouble, he would be happy to help by buying some honest shares from him, or simply “find a way” to buy some shares.

This is not really a conspiracy trick, let alone influence the relationship, become enemies or anything, business cooperation, its own attributes are also enemies and friends, it is just the thinking of the businessman who is no longer normal. Just like now, if you own shares in a very profitable and potentially powerful company, you would want a little more shares.

The reason why Shi Zhongjun did not personally ask Xu Tiansheng, in fact, was that Xu Tiansheng was afraid of embarrassment, and most importantly, he was not sure if Xu Tiansheng was really in “trouble”, which allowed people to explore the path first.

Xu Tiansheng explained his thoughts to Huang Yaming.

Huang Yaming just tried to curse the street and his phone rang again.

After a while, Huang Yaming covered the microphone and turned to Xu Tinsheng: “President Shao said that if we have any problems here in the short term, they can pay for the publicity, and then we just need to be even in the shares and shares of the film. They're so sure this movie's gonna make a lot of money? ”

Xu Tiansheng shook his head and said directly: "You tell him that our portion of the promotion fee will be called within a month. ”

He was very certain that Huang Yaming had spoken the original language.

Hang up the phone, Huang Yaming looked at Xu Tiansheng and said: "You can't move from sincere to sincere. Where are you going to find a solution within a month? And delaying it is tantamount to admitting that the cash flow is interrupted. ”

“There are so many ways. What's not? But no," Xu Tiansheng said, "I don't have star technology. If the cash flow breaks, it will continue soon, and Shi will see for himself. ”

Huang Yaming was a little confused and said: "... Didn't you say that there was a tinkle of poverty over there? ”

“Now it is, but I can make it fast.” Xu Tiansheng said.

“How? ”

“That's it. ”

Xu Tiansheng refers to a happy farm not far from the computer screen.
