San Francisco, United States.
A Boeing 737 cargo plane slowly landed at San Francisco International Airport.
The plane's fuselage was painted with the words "Fei Zi Xiao Express".
This was Fei Zi Xiao Express' cargo plane. Fang Tian, Lin Keqing, and Jin Yuye boarded this plane and officially embarked on their journey to America!
Fang Tian had just walked out of the airport when a man in a black T-shirt walked over and hugged him tightly.
He was Du Fei. He had arrived in America ahead of time! "You're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time, brother!"
"I'm not gay. Get lost!" Fang Tian jokingly scolded.
"Haha!" Du Fei laughed and let go of his hands.
Fang Tian looked at his outfit. This person's outfit seemed to have not changed for a hundred years. Black jeans, black T-shirt, and black-rimmed glasses.
He gave off a feeling of blackness!
This was once the top international hacker. After Fang Tian recruited him, he joined Soft cloud and had been working as the senior CEO of Soft cloud's security software.
This trip to America might encounter many security issues, so he was asked to come over and conquer the world together.
They had not seen each other for a long time and had endless topics to talk about. The few of them chatted as they walked out of the airport.
Du Fei opened the door of the black Mondeo. Fang Tian, Lin Keqing, and Jin Yuye got in.
Then, Du Fei started the car and drove towards Silicon Valley.
They rented an apartment there and all the members of the Soft cloud team would move in.
Silicon Valley did not need much introduction. It was the holy land of IT technology innovation in the world.
Apple, HP, Nvidia, and many other companies had set up their headquarters or R&D centers here.
Soft cloud had set up an office in Silicon Valley with dozens of employees.
This time, Fang Tian was full of ambition. He was determined to conquer the American market!
The car stopped at the Venice apartment. This apartment had nothing to do with Venice Water City. It just had the same name.
Then, Fang Tian and the other two women pulled their suitcases and walked towards the top floor.
No matter which country they were in, the three of them would stay together. Therefore, the arranged room was on the top floor of the apartment. There were three bedrooms and a living room, which could accommodate three people.
Originally, Fang Tian had asked Jin Yuye to go to Europe to continue her original job, but since she wanted to come along, he let her be.
She had studied in the United States for many years and was more familiar with this market. Perhaps she could be of some use.
After pushing the door open, Fang Tian pulled his suitcase into his bedroom. He then went into the bathroom and took a shower. After that, he directly fell asleep on the bed.
After taking a two-hour nap, there was a knock on the door. "Dong dong!"
Fang Tian got up and opened the door. Du Fei was standing at the door with a teapot in his hand.
"I have something to tell you."
Fang Tian nodded and went into the bathroom to wash his face.
Du Fei sat in front of the table, picked up the brewed teapot, and filled a cup.
Fang Tian sat down and sniffed. The fragrance was strong. "How are Soft cloud products doing in the US?"
"This is what I wanted to talk to you about." Du Fei handed over a report.
Fang Tian glanced at it. The situation was not optimistic.
Soft cloud products were not doing well in the US, except for a small number of products that had some fame in the US.
Unlike Japan, it was too difficult to take over the US market.
Soft cloud had won against Google, Amazon, and other technology companies overseas. But this time, it was different. They were in their home turf.
Du Fei took a sip of tea. "If we want to succeed in the US, what product should we use as our first shot?"
Fang Tian rubbed his chin and thought for a long time.
Can we do e-commerce and online shopping? But in the US market, we will have to face fierce competition from Amazon.
This was not the most important reason. The biggest problem was the e-commerce platform's ability to distribute customers.
It was difficult for online shoppers to go to other places. Even if the e-commerce platform became bigger, it would be difficult to provide traffic to Soft cloud's other applications.
How about a search engine? Hmm, this was a good idea.
They had tried it in Europe and Japan, and it was very successful. They had successfully turned search engine users into media and entertainment users.
But in the US, their biggest competitor was Google. It was very difficult for them to succeed.
After thinking about it, the only way for Soft cloud to achieve a breakthrough in the US was social media!
Social media platforms were very good at distributing traffic. They could distribute traffic to other applications. For example, users could go to music, games, video sites, etc.
Also, they would not face strong competitors in the US if they were to do social media.
Is Facebook out? No.
Is Twitter out? No.
Only MSN. But many Americans do not like MSN.
When Americans communicated with each other, whether it was with family, friends, or business, they all liked to use email.
A 50-year-old uncle in the United States might not use MSN to chat, but he would habitually check his email every day.
When it came to social networking, there was a big difference between the habits of foreigners and Chinese. To them, email was more important than instant messaging.
Fang Tian snapped his fingers. "Social media. But American social media is different from Chinese social media. It is hard to develop social media based on instant messaging. What we want to do is to create a social world that can be shared. "
Facebook was a place for people to share their feelings, pictures, and short stories. It was similar to WeChat and QQ Space.
But the difference was that WeChat and QQ were developed after instant messaging, and then the products were extended to WeChat and Qzone.
Facebook, on the other hand, started out as a social networking site for sharing and interaction. Then, it extended to instant messaging.
Du Fei took a sip of tea and suddenly remembered something. "You asked Yang Fan to lead a team to develop Skybook, right?"
Fang Tian nodded. "Skybook is a social media platform. We will not emphasize that it is an instant messaging tool. Chatting is just a side feature."
Du Fei sighed. The difference between the logical thinking of the Americans and the Chinese was quite big.
Fang Tian quickly typed on the keyboard and opened Skybook's webpage.
The webpage refreshed. Currently, the website was only in English. There was no Chinese version, and there might never be a Chinese version. After all, there were already similar websites in China.
The overlap of products was too high, and websites like Renren will eventually decline.
Du Fei looked at the webpage. The design of the website was very simple, and it was easy to use.
"Isn't the design of the website too simple? Are there any other features? "
Fang Tian laughed. "The simpler, the better. Americans do not like products with too many features."
In another world, products like WeChat had many features. Not only could users chat, but they could also share, make payments, call taxis, etc.
But in the US, what Feng Yu wanted was simple. An application only needed to do one thing.
