In class, Fang Tian continued to lecture the students.
His unique point of view and humorous style made the students fall in love with this new teacher.
All the students listened attentively.
Fang Tian walked down the aisle with a piece of white chalk in his hand. "This is what I mean by self-media. Anyone can become a publisher and disseminator of information."
"There is another advantage to starting a business on the internet. It has a low cost and low threshold. You can become a novelist, a singer, or do live streaming."
"As long as your content is attractive enough and popular enough, you can even make money from live streaming!"
"Haha!" The whole class laughed!
Suddenly, the classroom door opened, and a group of people walked in.
It's Principal Chen Wenshan. He walked in with Bill Karon, and there are four or five foreigners behind him. All of them are wearing suits.
The gazes of the students all shot over.
"They are?" Fang Tian looked at the Caucasian man in the lead and asked curiously.
Chen Wenshan smiled. "He is the Senior Vice President of AOL Time Warner, Mr. Bill Karon."
"He is here to visit our school today!"
"Wow! The CEO of a giant company is coming to our school!"
"Do you think he is here to recruit some talents to shoot a blockbuster in Hollywood?"
"That's possible."
The students were excited.
"You all continue. I am here to listen." Bill Karon smiled.
After that, he and his subordinates walked to the back row and sat down.
Chen Wenshan walked out of the classroom. Before he left, he was still worried and reminded Fang Tian to treat these foreigners well.
Fang Tian nodded and continued with the class.
Fang Tian walked to the blackboard and said. "The 21st century is the era of the internet. All the media companies in the world must follow this trend …"
The woman beside Bill Karon translated for him, and he nodded. He didn't expect China to have such a talent. Before he came here, he thought China was just an internet desert, and no one knew about the internet. But it seemed like there were still some talents in this backward place.
Fang Tian wrote a line of words on the blackboard with a piece of red chalk. "Web 2.0 Era."
Fang Tian said, "Now, the world's Internet has entered the Web 2.0 era. In the Web 1.0 era, we can only look at the content provided by the website and can't do anything. After entering the Web 2.0 era, each of us can become a website content provider."
"For example, online novels, online music, online videos, etc …"
Bill Karon understood the Web 2.0 era without any translation. His blue eyes were filled with shock!
The Web 2.0 era is a new concept in the United States, but someone in this backward country knows about it...
But no matter what Fang Tian said, Bill is still biased against China. He came to China is only because he is passing by China.......
When Fang Tian said that a giant internet company would be born in China in the future and would affect the whole world …
The Americans couldn't help but laugh. They didn't even try to hide their laughter!
Their faces were filled with arrogance and disdain, and Fang Tian saw it all.
Fang Tian cleared his throat and raised his voice. "The internet is changing constantly. Today's internet giants will decline one day. For example, companies like Yahoo and AOL will also decline!"
"Wow!" The class is in an uproar. The CEO of AOL is present, and Mr. Fang dares to say anything!
Bill Karon's smile disappeared, and he looked at Fang Tian. "I want to know why?"
Fang Tian looked at him and quickly said. "The reason is simple. Because you don't know about the internet!"
"Wow!" The class is in an uproar again.
The world's internet giant, a company that can even swallow Time Warner — AOL's CEO. Fang Tian dares to say he doesn't know about the internet?
This university lecturer is too arrogant. Where did he get his confidence from?
Bill Karon is unhappy and asked. "Do you know how big AOL is now?"
"I know." Fang Tian said. "Not long ago, they bought Time Warner and merged with AOL Time Warner. AOL is the world's largest media company, and it might be the world's largest internet company."
Bill Karon sneered. "The CEO of the world's largest internet company can't even compare to a university lecturer? Isn't this too funny? "
Fang Tian turned around and wrote four big words on the blackboard — "Social Media."
Then, he knocked on the blackboard and looked at Bill Karon. "Do you know about this?"
The female translator translated for Bill Karon.
Bill Karon said, "I refuse to answer such a childish question."
"It's not childish. You don't understand at all." Fang Tian's expression was serious as he knocked on the blackboard with his knuckles.
Bill Karon was furious after being questioned. "Isn't it just social media and social media content? You Chinese only know how to ask such stupid questions! "
Fang Tian sneered. "In the future, a pure media company won't have a future. It has to integrate with social media."
"This is why I said that even if you buy Time Warner, your company will still decline."
"You don't understand the importance of social media. There's only one end to a pure media service — death!"
Bill Cullen shrugged his shoulders. "That's ridiculous!"
"Media is media. Social media is social media. They're two completely different fields."
"Someone like you can be a teacher. No wonder there's no talent in your country."
It wasn't the first time Fang Tian saw the arrogance and prejudice of Americans.
With a piece of white chalk, Fang Tian circled the word "social" and said, "Social is the most important thing. It's like a piece of fertile land. With it, media services can take root and grow!"
Fang Tian threw down the chalk. "Facebook is the best example."
"Oh? You don't know what kind of company it is. "
"You'll understand in the future. You can't even compare to one-tenth of it."
Bill Karon didn't take it to heart at all. "Social media is just an accessory. Media content is the most important. Okay … "
Bill Karon stood up. "Talking to you is a waste of my life. But I didn't come here in vain. I finally saw it for myself. There's really no talent in your country. "
After that, Bill Karon left with his translator and a few subordinates.
Fang Tian looked at Bill Karon's back and said, "AOL's acquisition of Time Warner will be the biggest tragedy in the history of the world!"
"Boom!" The moment he said that, it was like thunder in spring!
The students were all stunned. Teacher Fang really didn't stop until he said something shocking!
He spent 186 billion USD to acquire Time Warner. If he said that the acquisition was a tragedy, wouldn't that mean that all his money went down the drain?
