Start with hooves

Miami, Florida.

A gardener hired by Shark O'Neal's family had just cleaned the swimming pool and mowed the lawn.

Returning to the utility room to use the toilet, and preparing to finish his squat before returning home from get off work, the gardener named Paul Robitaille opened the short video app renamed "TikTok" on his mobile phone.

Because he works at Shark O'Neal's house, gardener Paul often hears news about Suri, so he naturally pays attention to him.

Last month, Paul saw the news about "TiKTok". He was curious, so he downloaded and installed such a software. After browsing it, he felt that there were many beauties on it and there were many funny videos. It was especially suitable for killing time while going to the toilet, so he kept using it. Until now.

Of course.

Compared with Youtube, a popular video website all over the world, TikTok's current shortcomings are particularly obvious. Due to the slow network transmission speed, it can only sacrifice the duration and image quality of short videos, and its functions are very single.

In addition to liking your favorite short videos, the comment and forwarding function is not yet open.

Occasionally, a scary or disgusting short video will suddenly appear. This is due to the current lack of review mechanism and even no complaint function.

The short video track has just appeared, and everything still seems very primitive and crude.

So even though TikTok gained huge traffic due to Suri's acquisition, it failed to retain many users. The number of active users was only about 50.

Compared with platforms such as Netflix Entertainment and Tweet, this poor performance is obviously far behind.

Paul, the gardener, had just watched beauties showing off their figures on a luxury yacht, and then came across the short video shot by Suri. It had only been more than 576 minutes since it was posted, and the total number of likes was only a pitiful "".

For a moment, even Paul, the gardener who didn't know much about business, felt that Suri's "magic" was not working, and the TikTok short video project he invested in might be over.

The video is just six seconds long and can be watched in the blink of an eye.

Like secretary Amanda, gardener Paul didn't understand at first why Suri called it a "challenge" when he was just squatting there.

With the attitude of giving it a try, he didn't even wipe it and tried squatting on the edge of the toilet.

However, it was unexpected.

Just as he was about to squat down, his whole weight fell backwards. Poor gardener Paul stepped into the toilet with his right foot before he could stand firmly.

In addition to his socks being soaked, the slightly slippery feeling of stepping on feces under his feet made the gardener close his eyes and fall into deep regret. He should have waited until he had gone to the toilet before trying again...

In just a few hours, this short video about "Asian Squatting" was like a gust of wind, affecting countless first users of TiKTok.

Countless people try to imitate, a few succeed easily, and many more fail in a comical state.

The charm of the Asian squat is that it seems very simple, but when many whites, blacks, and Latinos actually try it, they find that they can't do it, just like someone told them "you actually don't know 1+1=2."

The short challenge videos shot following the trend suddenly appeared on TikTok, and were also moved to the YouTube video website, quickly causing a wider impact.

Lanai Island, Hawaii.

Due to the time difference, it was still afternoon on Lanai.

Once again, I saw a video of a failed Asian squat challenge. Secretary Amanda couldn't help but ask again:

"Is it because of differences in race? Why have I watched several videos and none of the users succeeded, but you can do it so easily?" Su Rui nodded slightly and replied:

"Maybe, Europeans and Americans are taller on average, have longer legs, but their Achilles tendons are a bit short, so they are not flexible enough when squatting. If you use Asian squats for a long time, it will be difficult to maintain your balance. And squatting on the toilet, you almost don't know how to do it. Use it, lack of exercise since childhood."

Secretary Amanda suddenly understood and said again:

"This challenge you started should be very successful, I see many people trying it."

"The harder it is to do it, the easier it is for people to be aroused to be competitive. Unfortunately, the development work of TiKTok has not been completed yet. Now we can only take the opportunity to appropriately increase its reputation. In this way, when similar products appear, users will Stand up and speak for me and accuse other companies of plagiarism..."

In fact, Suri is not original, but since he acquired this mobile short video company and respects the labor results of the founding R&D team, there is nothing to criticize.

After he finished speaking, a perverted elimination game called "Sheep Makes a Sheep" instantly appeared in Suri's mind.

To arouse the competitive spirit of users, this routine can be regarded as being played to the extreme by "sheep after sheep", making full profits by placing advertisements.

Su Rui suddenly became excited and wanted to wait for the right time to develop a similar product.

This perverted little game might be able to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue in his hands. Unfortunately, the penetration rate of smartphones is still not high enough, and about 75% of consumers choose to buy fool-proof phones.

If you launch such a small game now, you won't be able to maximize profits. It's best to wait a few years.

Keep the idea quietly in your mind.

soon.

Miss Talia called and told her that she had gone to the beach and that the wind today was suitable for surfing. In the evening, she might encounter waves of two or three meters high.

Before going to Hollywood to become an actress, Miss Talia worked as a surfing instructor at the Four Seasons Hotel. Suri believed in her judgment and made an appointment to meet at the Four Seasons Hotel now. After bringing the equipment, she took a boat to a place called "Hukabo". "The beach.

Miss Thalia's skin has become much whiter without having to be exposed to the wind and sun at the beach. After being customized by a stylist, her whole body is even more beautiful than before.

But her temperament is still the same, uncontested, quiet and elegant.

After everyone changed their clothes, Suri personally took the surfboard, came to the pier and got on the speedboat, and said with a smile:

"Come on up, I'm in charge of driving the boat today, you just need to help me keep an eye on the sea to prevent tourists from going into the sea without permission."

Not only are there traffic accidents on the road, but there are also dangers on the sea.

If you are cut by the propeller of a speedboat, the outcome will most likely not be good. It may range from a broken arm or leg, to death in the worst case, and even the body may not be found.

Generally speaking, driving a speedboat is easier than driving. At least there are not so many passers-by.

Suri had learned to drive a speedboat before, so Miss Talia had nothing to worry about. She looked over the instrument panel and said:

"OK, the engine of this wake wave boat is almost at the end of its service life. It seems that many tourists rented it to go out to sea last year. Natural waves are too short, how about trying wake surfing first? "

Suri was about to speak when she saw Miss Talia taking off her coat.

In order to shoot "Bad Thief", she specially carried out physical training. Her figure is full of primitive wild beauty, which makes it difficult for people to look away as if nothing happened... (End of this chapter)
