"Many business tycoons, celebrities, and even various elites are fans of Zhao Ye~"

"When Zhao Ye appeared, I seemed to instantly feel the temperament of someone worth a trillion dollars..."

"I'll go, by the way, Zhao Ye is worth a trillion dollars???"

"Who knows, if the Internet bubble hadn't been burst, it would have been worth trillions of dollars, maybe now. Oh, it's such a pity... I still want to witness the legend!"

"..."

Zhao Ye raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and the scene immediately became silent.

"Today's press conference is of great significance. Our Wujiang Group will launch an influential website, its name is Weibo, and the international version is called Twitter."

""

"The emergence of Weibo or Twitter will definitely mean the arrival of the 'National Self-Media Era'!!!"

"We-media is an emerging form that is different from traditional media. You are the media, and you can decide all the content of self-media!"

“Weibo and Twitter are self-media platforms that allow users to share short, real-time information!”

"Everyone, please watch the big screen. We will show you how to use Weibo to open the era of national self-media and make your own voice heard on the Internet!"

After saying that, Zhao Ye nodded to the staff.

Immediately, the big screen behind Zhao Ye began to light up.

A demonstration video starts playing.

There are four stories in the video.

In the first story, the heroine is a traditional Chinese painting painter. One day, she discovered Weibo and started sharing her works on Weibo. She never expected that her works would be liked by many netizens. It didn’t take long for her to become popular, and even well-known auction houses began to contact her, planning to auction several of her works, achieving both fame and fortune.

In the second story, the male protagonist is a star. He began to manage Weibo carefully and interacted with fans frequently. This led to his fans liking him very much and supporting him, making his popularity higher and higher. Not long after, a famous director saw him on Weibo, and then took a fancy to him and chose him as the leading actor in a movie.

In the third story, the male protagonist is the owner of a factory. The factory is not performing well and is on the verge of bankruptcy. The male protagonist can’t help but think of advertising on Weibo, so he finds some big V users and asks them to advertise the products of his factory. As a result, the advertising effect was very good, the products were sold well, and the factory was suddenly revitalized.

In the fourth story, a small newspaper turned to Weibo self-media and immediately published the news of each interview to the Weibo website. Not long after, the scale of this small newspaper began to grow, and finally became one of the top ten newspapers in China. .

……

At this point, after watching the demonstration video, everyone has basically understood what kind of websites Weibo and Twitter are.

Especially when they saw that by doing self-media on Weibo, they might gain a large number of fans, and then they could receive advertisements and realize traffic monetization, which made them very excited.

After all, there is money to be made, who doesn’t like it~
Making money is motivation.

Weibo can make people make money, who doesn’t love it~
At this moment, countless people around the world who want to make money are eager to register a Weibo or Twitter account.

Looking at the excited crowd, Zhao Ye smiled, picked up the microphone, and said: "After watching vcr, everyone should almost know what Weibo and Twitter are. Weibo and Twitter are self-media platforms, and everyone You can register as a user and become a self-media, and everyone can make money through self-media, or share what you see and hear, and share your interests and hobbies!”

“In the era of national self-media, if you can get traffic and attract fans, then you are not far away from wealth and freedom!”

The world is bustling, all come for the benefit; the world is bustling, all goes for the benefit.

Zhao Ye believes that "money" is the most attractive thing.

Therefore, at the press conference, Zhao Ye could not help but remind everyone many times that you can make money by doing self-media on Weibo and Twitter.

“Oh, by the way, through the efforts of our employees to persuade, many celebrities around the world have agreed to join Weibo or Twitter platforms. Therefore, fans who want to communicate with celebrities online must remember to register for Weibo or Twitter. Special account~”

At this moment, the audience was extremely excited, and everyone could not contain their inner emotions. Someone in the front row couldn't help but asked loudly: "Mr. Zhao, when will Weibo and Twitter be online?"

Zhao Ye heard this, turned his head to look, and then replied with a smile: "At 9 o'clock in the morning BJ time on September 1st, the Weibo and Twitter websites will be officially launched!"

"Wow, wow, that's great. The press conference is over, and you can log in to the Weibo website in a little while. I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Will my idol Andy Lau also log on to Weibo?"

"It seems that the prospect of self-media is good. I have decided that I want to start a self-media business!!!"

"..."

Seeing this, Zhao Ye realized that he had almost finished speaking, so he announced the end of the press conference.

……

Although the press conference is over, Weibo and Twitter are still discussing it on the Internet.

Many people decided to stay up until early in the morning tonight, waiting until Weibo went online.

Soon, a few hours passed.

As soon as the Weibo and Twitter websites were launched, millions of netizens flocked to the websites.

Fortunately, the company's technical department has made preparations in advance, otherwise the website may crash.

In about 10 minutes, the number of registered users on Weibo exceeded 150 million, and the number of registered users on Twitter was even higher, exceeding 300 million.

Major celebrities around the world and elites from all walks of life also updated their Weibo or Twitter accounts immediately.

"This is my first time on Weibo. Please take care of me. I am Tony Leung."

"Hello fans, I am Andy Lau!" "Hello everyone, I am Zha Zhahui!"

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Ziyi. I will interact with you often on Weibo~"

"Oh, that's good. I'm Jay Chou. My new album will be released soon. Fans who like to listen to my songs, please support me~"

"..."

Many celebrities have watched Wujiang Group's press conference, and they have become very clear that Weibo and Twitter are important platforms for them to promote themselves and gather fan loyalty.

Without the Weibo platform, it’s like fans can’t find a home.

Therefore, even if Wujiang Group does not invite them, they are now eager to join Weibo.

The staff of Weibo are very busy at this time and have been opening big Vs for many people.

Many business owners have also discovered the value of Weibo and have registered accounts one after another, hoping to promote their own brand products through self-media.

In addition, some traditional media companies cannot help but feel that a huge crisis is approaching them.

Weibo and Twitter can update news in real time, but newspapers must be printed and then distributed to all parts of the country, which takes a day.

In terms of the immediacy of news, Weibo and Twitter win.

Netizens have already read the news on Weibo and Twitter. How can they read it again in traditional newspapers?
"It's over. The emergence of Weibo and Twitter will undoubtedly bring disaster to our traditional newspaper industry!" A newspaper owner said with a sad face, his face full of worry.

Everyone will stop reading newspapers from now on, so he might as well close his newspaper as soon as possible - he thought to himself.

During the day, the stock market opens.

Almost all listed companies related to newspapers have seen their stock prices plummet.

"Ming Pao", "Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily", "Los Angeles Times" and other major newspapers around the world not only fell in stock price, but also in sales.

Weibo and Twitter have just been launched for the first day, and their scale and influence have not yet developed. Once the number of users of Weibo and Twitter exceeds [-] million units, what future will the traditional newspaper industry have?

Wall Street Vanguard Group.

"Oh my God, that guy Zhao Ye is so awesome. He actually developed such a powerful public opinion tool! His influence has almost reached another level!"

"Yes, his talent is so outstanding that not even our capital can compete with him!"

"We should now find a way to invest in Twitter. I think what Zhao Ye means is to separate Weibo and Twitter and create two brands. There should be plans to let Twitter raise funds. After all, Twitter's publicity power is greater than All newspapers in the United States are even more powerful. The U.S. government cannot allow such a website to be controlled by a Chinese company! So, this will be our opportunity!"

"Well, that's right. Let's act quickly. We must negotiate with Wujiang Group about investing in Twitter before other investment companies do!"

"Okay, I'll send someone to the Wujiang Group immediately!"

"..."

At this time, Vanguard is not the only investment company that is interested in the value of Twitter.

Goldman Sachs, Morgan, Sequoia Capital and other companies... also immediately sent their company executives to discuss investing in Weibo and Twitter with Wujiang Group.

At the press conference, Zhao Ye described the prospects of Weibo and Twitter very well, and the possibility of realization is extremely high.

With the advent of the national self-media era, the value of Weibo and Twitter is obvious, and replacing traditional media is just around the corner.

……

"Director Zhao, so many investment companies have contacted us, what do you think we should do?" Liu Yinyin looked at Zhao Ye and asked.

Because Weibo and Twitter are too special, if they are controlled by only one company of Wujiang Group, they may be considered by the government to be manipulating public opinion at any time and thus be banned. Especially when facing certain sensitive issues, if they are not careful, the government may The website will be shut down.

This kind of thing has happened frequently in previous lives.

It is now September 2001. Zhao Ye knows what will happen next in New York, USA. Zhao Ye is worried about whether Twitter can report such a sensitive incident and whether it dares to report it.

Therefore, since investment companies want to invest in Weibo and Twitter, come and share the risks and pressure together.

"Inform them that on September 9th, both Weibo and Twitter will conduct the first round of financing, and ask them to make a quote quickly!" Zhao Ye said without delay.

Liu Yinyin was stunned. She didn't expect her boss to agree so quickly. Shouldn't she wait for a while, as there are more users on Weibo and Twitter, before going for financing?
"Okay, Director Zhao, I will notify the investment company immediately."

"Well, go ahead!" Zhao Ye nodded with a smile.

Liu Yinyin immediately left the office and carefully closed the door.

After ten minutes.

Major investment companies have received investment invitations from Wujiang Group.

This made them both surprised and happy.

Unexpectedly, Wujiang Group relented easily this time and agreed to let them participate in the investment.

"Great, Zhao Ye really has no intention of living alone! Think about it quickly, what is our valuation of Weibo and Twitter? Oh, by the way, currently, the number of users of Weibo and Twitter is How much?" Michael Pullman, CEO of Goldman Sachs Group, said excitedly.

"Mr. Pullman, there are already 1790 million Weibo users and 3122 million Twitter users. Because of the real-name system, the number of users is very real!" the assistant replied.

Michael Pullman exclaimed: "Oh my god, in just a few days, there are so many users on Weibo and Twitter. It's incredible!!!"

"Yes, Mr. Pullman, those of us who collected the data were shocked."

Michael Pullman said with a serious expression: "User data is growing so fast, which further proves the huge potential of Weibo and Twitter. Then, the competition among investment companies will be greater. After all, no one can invest in such a good project." I want to invest! If we don’t give Wujiang Group an attractive offer, I’m afraid we will miss this investment opportunity!”

The assistant asked: "Mr. Pullman, what is our quotation?"

Michael Pullman laughed: "A number that surprises everyone, haha, you will know it then!"

……

As soon as the news came out that Weibo and Twitter were going to raise funds, there was an uproar immediately.

Although it is still a cold winter for the Internet, Weibo and Twitter are extremely popular among investors.

Obviously, the "national self-media" proposed by Zhao Ye is very attractive to investment companies.

Moreover, Weibo and Twitter are different from other websites. Their future prospects are very clear, and they may even replace newspapers and control the direction of public opinion.

Even if Weibo and Twitter don't make money, their importance is self-evident.

Investment companies believe that as long as Weibo and Twitter go public, their stock prices will skyrocket.
