"Students, today let's talk about why Stealing Vegetables is so popular."
"Of course, since we are talking about Stealing Vegetables, we have to talk about the game's recently released prop dog setting. Before we talk, let me do a survey. Students, if you have bought a prop dog, please raise your hand. "
At Harvard University, computer professor Harry was giving a lecture.
After he finished speaking, almost 90% of the students in the class raised their hands.
A level one prop dog was only 10 dollars, any student could afford it.
"It seems that Wechat is really powerful. In fact, I also bought a prop dog. So, if you have bought a level two dog, please raise your hand? "
At this time, half of the students in the class raised their hands.
Harry nodded and once again sighed at Wechat's accurate grasp of the user's psychology.
This group of students did not have much money, but still, many of them bought a level two dog.
"So, if you have bought a level three dog, please raise your hand."
At this time, there were only a few people in the class.
However, when they raised their hands, the crowd was a little jealous.
A level three dog cost 1,000 dollars. Although they were willing to buy it, they really did not have the money.
However, Professor Harry asked again, "If you have bought a level four dog, please raise your hand."
At this time, only two people in the class raised their hands.
"Wow."
At this time, the classroom was suddenly in an uproar.
A level four dog cost 10,000 dollars, this was not something that ordinary students could afford.
However, Harry continued to ask, "If you have bought a level five dog, please raise your hand."
At this time, only one person raised his hand.
Everything came as no surprise, this student became the focus of the class.
"Hehe, student, let's be friends."
Professor Harry joked.
However, although there were few students who could afford 100,000 dollars, it was not impossible.
Just like on the Internet, you could see a lot of rich people.
"Let's look at Wechat again. We have already analyzed before, the foundation of social networks is the six degree segmentation theory. In other words, we only need to know six people, and we can know everyone in the world. In reality, the six degree segmentation theory is difficult to verify because we don't have the conditions in reality. But on the Internet, everything is transformed. "
"From the Stealing Vegetables game on Wechat, we can see that you can interact with friends of friends. Of course, this is the same as the prop dog in Stealing Vegetables recently. This is also an important embodiment of the six degree segmentation theory. In the real world, it's hard for us to get to know rich people. But by stealing vegetables, we can get to know those billionaires. "
"It's also because of the classic six-degree division theory that our social network can spread so quickly. Of course, it's also because Six Degrees Segmentation is built in the real world that social networking platforms like Wechat are more attractive than ordinary internet platforms … "
Professor Harry continued to explain the theoretical basis of WeChat to the students.
Of course, he still had some regrets.
There was a student at Harvard University who was doing social networking, and it was very successful at that time.
Unfortunately, after the emergence of WeChat, this website was in danger.
But that wasn't what he needed to think about, was it?
…
"Boss Chen, we've sold our fifth Level 6 dog."
"Oh, are they all advertising?"
"Not all of them. One of them is a real tycoon."
Wang Chang excitedly reported to Chen Yu.
Previously, she had thought that Chen Yu was crazy about money, but now, it seemed that her understanding was not enough.
As a matter of fact, a local tycoon bought a Level 6 dog.
Or you want to ask why this tycoon bought it?
There was no why.
I have money, I want to buy it, I want to show off my wealth, so what?
Of course, the number of prop dogs sold was not the most important thing, although it was also very profitable.
But what Wechat really cared about was the IP data.
The facts did not disappoint Chen Yu, and the number of IP visits on Wechat broke a new record again.
At the same time, their competitor Facebook's IP visits plummeted by 20% all of a sudden.
This was with the support of Yahoo.
Without Yahoo's support, this wave of operations could have caused them to drop by 30%.
On the other hand, this also strengthened Chen Yu's confidence.
The North American market was not necessarily so complicated. In fact, the North American internet was the same as the domestic internet.
Sometimes, the domestic internet was even more competitive than the North American internet.
In the past, many domestic internet companies did not have the opportunity to enter the North American internet, let alone the world.
But now, everything was possible.
Thinking about the future, there were actually many domestic companies that were very creative. Even if they were placed overseas, they were still very competitive.
For example, ByteDance's TikTok, although they had some shortcomings, their products were really good.
There was also the browser company Cheetah.
These had a very large overseas market in the future.
It was now 2005, in North America and overseas, Chen Yu had too many opportunities.
For this, Chen Yu seriously considered for a while.
Take the North American market, the largest and most important overseas market, as an example.
The most important internet companies in the North American market were Yahoo, Google, AOL, YouTube, Amazon, and eBay.
But to be honest, Yahoo would be looking for trouble in the future, and in the end, it would only have a market value of a few billion USD.
As for AOL, it was obvious from the name that it was a local portal. It was a bit like Sina.
YouTube was not bad, but its strength was average.
The more powerful ones were Amazon and Google.
But whether it was Amazon or Google, Chen Yu had his Wechat.
As long as he expanded his Wechat, he could completely dominate the international e-commerce and search market with an army of tanks.
Of course, there was also the instant messaging market.
Currently, North American users were using MSN and OICQ for instant messaging.
But in fact, whether it was MSN or OICQ, they would be overtaken by latecomers in North America.
Once the mobile internet appeared, most of them would be dead.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu suddenly felt that these North American internet giants did not seem to be very strong.
Competing with them, Chen Yu felt that he was lagging behind Sina and the others in China.
If it weren't for the fact that Chen Yu had always been relatively calm, Chen Yu wished that he could directly f * ck them up.
However, Chen Yu also knew that his foundation in North America was not solid yet.
If he wanted to enter the North American market, he had to first make his Wechat impregnable.
Then, Chen Yu instructed Wang Chang again, "Wang Chang, we can't only have one game. You know that the lifespan of a game is not very long. "
"Boss Chen, I understand."
Wang Chang nodded.
After all, she had been in China before. How could Wang Chang not know how Huanyu Technologies became successful?
No matter how popular the online games in China were, they all had lifespan. Huanyu Technologies' online games were still okay, but the games of other companies often died after one or two years. Some could not even last for one or two years, half a year, or even three months before they shut down.
The game of stealing vegetables was inherently flawed.
Although it was very popular now, when the novelty of the game wore off, everyone would lose interest in it.
In fact, it was the same in the future.
It only took one or two years for the game to become popular and for almost everyone to stop playing it.
In such a short time, Happy Net did not have time to change its style and the game died just like that.
"I've already set up a gaming department that specializes in developing games."
"We can't develop it ourselves."
Chen Yu shook his head. "Although we can develop it ourselves, can we guarantee that the game we develop will definitely be popular?"
"Boss Chen, do you mean that we'll only be a platform?"
"Yes."
Chen Yu said with certainty, "Although Wechat is a social networking site, it's also a huge platform. Our YY games in China already have such a model. We treat YY games as a small gaming platform. We cooperate with all the small game software developers. Thus, our YY games became the number one game in the industry. No one can surpass us. "
"Yes, Boss Chen. I know what to do."
Sometimes, it was actually very easy to create an internet company.
With Huanyu Technologies' experience in China, Wang Chang could completely replicate this model in North America.
