"Zach, there's something I need to report to you."
"What is it?"
"There's a new company here that may be launching the same social media business as us."
"Oh, which company is it? Yahoo or Google?"
"Neither. It's a company called Huanyu Technologies. They're from China."
Facebook's Vice President, Victor, reported to Zuckerberg.
The young man in front of him, who was only in his twenties and looked like a college student, was the founder of Facebook.
He should be the youngest founder of a well-known company in Silicon Valley.
Many people couldn't believe it at first. They didn't expect the founder of the famous Facebook to be only in his twenties.
In fact, Zuckerberg was still a student at Harvard University.
However, he was now considering quitting school to focus on managing Facebook, just like Bill.
However, although Zuckerberg was very young, he had an unusually high IQ.
Plus, he was a genius when he was young. Zach had a deep understanding of the Internet.
"China?"
Zach felt a little strange. "This is the first time I've heard of a China company."
He was a little worried just now.
If Yahoo or Google were to enter, he would be a little nervous.
However, he didn't understand the company in China.
"This is the first time I've heard of it too. However, I checked their information. They're doing very well in China."
"Just pay attention."
Zach didn't have much time to focus on this.
What he was most concerned about was how to deal with the boycott of the netizens on the website.
Yes.
Not long ago, Zach announced that Facebook would not only be open to the student community, but also to the entire society.
A group of members on the website came out to boycott.
The reason for the boycott was simple.
Because from the day Facebook was born, it had something to do with the campus.
Moreover, their first route of promotion also started from the campus.
Most people liked Facebook because the users on Facebook were all students. They had the same hobbies and they had the same language. Moreover, with the development of the student community, Facebook quickly exploded. However, the founder of Facebook was now opening it to all users in society.
If this was the case, then why would they enter Facebook?
However, even though Zach was boycotted by the student body, he knew that he had to do this if Facebook wanted to expand in the future. In the beginning, Facebook only targeted students. It was too niche. It looked like it could continue to grow, but once all the students joined, it would reach saturation point.
Furthermore, the student body was only a part of society. He could not represent the entire society.
Since he was going to set up a social network, he had to include everyone in the social network.
Zach's goal was to get everyone in the world to sign up for Facebook.
Therefore, he had to deal with this matter properly.
"Okay, Zach. I'll pay attention to this."
Although Weiqi said that, he didn't really care about that company.
The center of the world was in America. The center of technology was also in America. The center of the Internet was also in America.
Although the internet had developed in China, they were not leading the world in terms of technology.
Alright then.
It wasn't that there weren't any.
For example, online games. It was said that online games were quite profitable in China.
However, Weiqi didn't care about this kind of Internet business that didn't have any technical content.
Wang Chang, who was already in America, naturally didn't know about Facebook's thoughts.
She just followed the routine step by step and started to do the preliminary work of "Friends".
Yes.
Friends was a social network in America created by Huanyu Technologies.
Although the name was a little vulgar, it was the main point.
In fact, the name didn't have much to do with it.
For example, Facebook. Who would know that it was a social network just from the name?
Or Google. Who would know that Google was a search engine?
None of these were important.
What was important was Huanyu Technologies' first plan.
After Wang Chang spent two million USD to buy Facebook, Wang Chang immediately went online with another version of Facebook.
Of course, this Facebook was not the website that Huanyu Technologies wanted to set up in America.
This Facebook was actually a social network created by Huanyu Technologies.
As for why it could enter the social network?
It was actually very simple.
As long as there was a htaccess jump statement in the Facebook web page code, it would automatically go to the social network's URL.
In other words, as long as one entered the Facebook URL, they would go to a website under Huanyu Technologies.
This was similar to when Huanyu Technologies bought Baidu keywords.
However, there were some hooligans who used Baidu keywords back then. Although there were still some hooligans now, everything was legal.
Of course, this method naturally couldn't capture all users in one go.
Some users who often logged on to the website might directly enter the URL as the Facebook URL.
However, Huanyu Technologies didn't intend to capture all users in one go.
Some people remembered the domain name completely, but at the same time, some people didn't.
In other words, most people remembered Facebook the most.
Among them, some didn't remember, and some entered it incorrectly.
Even if someone entered and found that Facebook wasn't the original Facebook, it didn't matter.
No matter what, in short, they could attract as many users as they could.
This method could not only bring the first batch of users to Friends, but more importantly, it could also stop the crazy explosion of Facebook …
That's right.
In Chen Yu's cheat book, Chen Yu emphasized it very much.
To compete with the current Facebook, the first thing was not to beat them in business.
Facebook had already exploded. Even if their business had some flaws, they could still take off.
To compete with them on the same platform, the best way was to stop their growth.
Using the domain name Facebook to make an issue of it was not very technical.
However, it could be said that it was very effective.
In fact, it was exactly so.
Facebook had a lot of visitors to begin with, and many people often entered the wrong domain name.
Some people couldn't even remember the domain name at all. Many times, they just typed the first few letters of the domain name. This was because some browsers might provide a domain name cloud service. Even if they entered an incomplete URL, these browsers would automatically help them display the correct website. Then, they would enter Facebook directly.
Now, they were doing the same thing.
However, before that, they had indeed entered Facebook.
But this time, he entered a different website.
If they found that they had entered another website at this time, they should leave.
However, Wang Chang's side cleverly made use of Facebook's student boycott this time.
On their homepage, they officially wrote: "We are students, we have common topics. We are students, we are a different group from others. We are students, we need our own communication website. We are students, we don't get together with people from society. We are not Facebook, but we can give you a new communication platform … "
Then, a burst of music sounded: Dang dang dang dang … Welcome to Friends.
