Chapter 1290: Full Promotion
Google, Brin rubbed his face vigorously with both hands for several times, as if to rub off all the fatigue on his face. The IPO is in full sprint, and all the products under development are also in the final sprint. These days, they have no idea of day and night.
He opened the small refrigerator in the house, well, it was empty, beer, cola, water, nothing.
Passing through the office area that was a bit like a busy and messy market stall, he brought back a bunch of things from the tea room, opened a bottle of beer and handed it to Page, "When did Feng say he would come?"
Page grabbed it and took a sip, without raising his head, he said, "Noon, he said he would bring us a big order,"
"Big order? What else can it be besides Netflix?" Brin asked.
But there was no response, well, that guy is still in the state.
Engineers are like this, once they enter the state, they will only retain a very shallow perception of everything around them, like Page is like this now.
But once you are exhausted, like Brin is now, after you are out of the state, it takes some time to get back to the state.
But this pause made him feel a little irritated.
The IPO is already in sight, which is a major milestone for all entrepreneurs. After this, everyone can add the word "success" in front of the word "entrepreneur".
This brings not only fame, but also profit.
According to the current situation, this is still a big profit, a huge profit, enough for the two of them to be on par with the world's top rich people overnight.
They are people who want to do something for the world, but they are definitely not people who regard fame and fortune as dirt. When the beautiful prospect of fame and fortune seems to be only a few months away, once they are free, they can't help but look forward to the days after that, and they will look forward to that day coming soon, and they will be a little excited, impatient, and happy.
He clicked on the mailbox that had been prompting new emails, and Feng Yiping just sent one. He clicked on it and saw a sentence on it, "Man, this is a cool website," followed by a link.
Cool? Let's try it.
"Facebook?" Isn't this the roster that the school gives out when you first enter college? Put this thing online?
Indeed, the original meaning of Facebook is this, that is, in American universities, the school gives out a "roster" to new students and faculty members, which prints all members of the school community, and its purpose is to help everyone get to know other members of the school.
This is obviously not the same as its later function, but for Feng Yiping, this name is naturally pleasing to the ear, and he has already spent money to register so many related domain names and trademarks, wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't use it?
At the same time, if those people at Harvard, including those whose ideas were stolen by Zuckerberg, saw their own NEXTDOOR, they still had the idea of developing such a website, then once Facebook went online, they would have to give up this idea.
As a single young man who has not yet started a family, of course, the Americans don't have this saying. As a bachelor who has not yet started a family, well, the Americans don't seem to have this saying either. As a guy who enjoys single life, although Brin is a registered member of NEXTDOOR, he rarely uses it. He is naturally not very patient to chat with those people in the community, especially housewives.
The interface in front of him is simpler than NEXTDOOR. Holding a big child on a rainy day, he registered his account in a familiar way. Immediately, a lot of people who might be his friends were recommended below
Feng Yiping, the strategic director of Google, was written in the information, so he was naturally ranked first, and then Feng Yiping's friends, his colleagues in NEXDOOR, were also ranked behind.
Oh, even the employees of Coin Star in Seattle can see it!
Brin browsed it roughly, and when he saw Emilia and several other girls, he couldn't help but whistled, Oh, boy!
He immediately felt a little more energetic. This is indeed cooler than NEXTDOOR.
He saw that there was also a function to search for users around him - this was one of the most difficult points for Mike and his team to overcome in this research and development. He clicked it casually, and a long list of users popped up immediately. He looked at it and saw that except for those who worked at NEXTDOOR, Netflix, and those who studied at Stanford, anyone in Silicon Valley could see it.
Oh, there is also an option to choose whether to see male or female users?
This is good!
As a man, he clicked on female without thinking, and then the whole world became beautiful and colorful. "Cool!" He said involuntarily, but immediately, he felt a little entangled.
Emotional status, should I choose "in love", "single", or "it's hard to say"?
On one side is Anne, a tree, and on the other side is a forest that seems to be growing? It's really annoying!
Anne, you shouldn't know about this website so soon. Before that, who knows what will happen?
He immediately changed his emotional status from in love to single.
Then, he considered how to modify the information he had just filled out, but he must not give people the impression of a sloppy, unromantic IT engineer.
Now it happens to be a multi-day day, and the snow at Lake Tahoe is good, so skiing, which I am proud of, should naturally be written at the top of "hobbies".
…………
NEXTDOOR, Feng Yiping sat in the conference room with everyone. Many people were very concerned about the growing number of users on the big screen, but he didn't care about these at this time, because he knew very well that this data would definitely not grow as fast as the group purchase that was going on at this time.
"All our websites must vigorously promote Facebook to all our users, and mobilize all our employees to promote it to their families, classmates, and friends."
When Facebook was first established in history, only people with Harvard email addresses were allowed to register. At that time, in addition to highlighting a kind of B-style and superiority of "I am a Harvard student and I am proud", I believe that Zuckerberg, who was very poor at that time, could not afford the consequences of opening up to the society - he had no money to buy so many equipment, such as servers.
But Feng Yiping does not have this problem now. University is naturally the focus of the website's promotion, but his current network of contacts is incomparable to that of Zuckerberg. So many companies, so many friends, so many customers, don't you want to use them?
"Everyone has done a good job," Feng Yiping clicked on his computer, "I have seen more and more Stanford alumni register their accounts,"
This can be regarded as the first to get the moon, too many of the people present here graduated from Stanford.
"But this is not enough, I want to make our website popular in all universities in California within one to two weeks,"
"Two weeks, I guarantee that we can cover all colleges in California," Mike said loudly immediately.
Such a website is definitely a powerful tool for those guys in college who always have a lot of energy but can't vent it. Once they find it, they will definitely love it.
If I had such a website when I was in school, hehe, my college life would definitely be more exciting.
"Buchanan, before you leave, please help me one more time and recommend our website to your friends on Capitol Hill,"
"Okay,"
"Cummins, you should have thought of recommending it to your peers on Wall Street. We all know that they are under a lot of pressure and have a tight schedule. They have no time to socialize. This is definitely a good tool for them,"
Feng Yiping believes that those guys who can spend hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars on beauties in high-end clubs every year will definitely make good use of this website.
For them, this is definitely a good thing comparable to Momo later.
"I have sent an email and I believe it will soon spread on Wall Street,"
"Okay, the national and global promotion should still follow the agreed plan. All relevant resource allocations will be given priority. I only have one request, as fast as possible!"
"I hope that by the end of next month, our registered users in the United States will exceed 5 million at least! Outside the United States, 1 million!"
"No problem!" Everyone present didn't take it seriously.
For example, NEXTDOOR now has more than 50 million monthly active users. It must be quite easy to get 10% of them to become registered users of Facebook in one month. They can probably do it by themselves as long as they promote it on the website.
Moreover, there are more than 15 million students in more than 4,000 universities in the United States?
Even the 1 million people outside the United States are still somewhat challenging.
"Let's do our own thing," Feng Yiping closed his computer and announced the end of the meeting, "Cummins, follow me to Google in an hour,"
