Chapter 1302 Someone Is Behind

"Finally, let me tell you a set of data. Facebook has more than 300,000 users in China,"

300,000 in just a few days? The reporters were a little unconvinced at first, but then they thought about their NEXTDOOR, well, this is really not surprising.

"More than 100 members of Congress and more than 200 celebrities have become our registered users,"

This can really be described as a great situation.

Without asking relevant experts to analyze, these reporters can judge that Facebook will definitely be one of the most eye-catching products in Silicon Valley this year.

Although Netflix did not want to deal with this news, many people took another look at Matthew. It is obvious that based on this assumption, Netflix, which they spent a huge amount of money to acquire, will definitely not have any plans.

Although Matthew tried his best to act like the old god was there, everyone could see at a glance that he was obviously trying to force himself.

"Our team in the UK has enabled more than 10,000 students from 37 British universities to become our registered users, and they have uploaded more than 100,000 photos,"

Zheng Jiayi continued to introduce.

To be honest, this was a set of numbers that surprised her.

Although they have predicted that the first breakthrough in Europe will definitely be the United Kingdom, because Facebook currently only has an English version, and there is no language barrier between the United Kingdom and the United States.

But no one expected that such a breakthrough would be possible so soon.

To be fair, these registered users, who are mainly concentrated in schools, are not all the work of the British team. Many of them are caused by the active spread of American college students.

What surprised her the most was how could these college students be so keen on posting photos of themselves on websites?

Judging from current statistical data, the growth rate of photos posted by these registered users actually exceeds the growth rate of registered users.

Because of her status, she is a person who values ​​privacy. She really doesn’t understand why those guys are so unscrupulous in posting everything about themselves online, including who they went to, where they went, what they did, and what they ate.

She even felt as if those guys didn't post photos, as if she didn't exist.

How lonely these guys must be!

But according to her understanding, those guys are not really lonely. The most likely reason is that they really want to attract other people's attention.

"On the other hand, outside of the school, there are already employees from well-known British companies, including the BBC, using our website. For this development, I think we have to thank some domestic company users for their promotion,"

In the United States, in addition to their own companies, not only employees from Google and Apple took the lead in becoming registered users of Facebook, but HP also promoted its own employees through internal mailboxes in a dignified manner. Following this, more and more well-known companies have join in.

These companies all have one thing in common. Their business is not limited to the United States. The most basic function of tools like Facebook is to help them socialize and promote their understanding of each other. In the process of business promotion, they communicate with customers. During the relationship, there is a high chance that this website they think is "cool" will be mentioned.

"What's even more gratifying is that, driven by Facebook, our other businesses at home and abroad, including Coin Star, NEXTDOOR, and Redbox, have seen gratifying growth,"

This time she also glanced at Matthew, and it was foreseeable that the positive influence brought by Facebook would soon benefit Netflix.

"The above is the content to be released today. Welcome everyone to log in to the previous website at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I can confirm that it is also a cool website,"

One thing she hasn't said yet is that judging from Facebook's experience, YouTube will also be a website that many people can't live without in the future.

"Thank you everyone!" She picked up her things and left without any intention of being interviewed.

But some reporters, including Brian, still followed up and asked, "Did Mr. Feng return to China today?" "Is the website that will be launched tomorrow affected by relevant reports and launched in advance?"

"What do you think of that report?" Brian asked directly.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Jiayi actually stopped, "How you report is your freedom. It is our freedom to respond to the impact of false reports in what way we will respond."

"We are very confident that we will eliminate the impact of this false report tomorrow, so this time, the company just submitted a letter of protest to the relevant media,"

"Of course, I still hope that my friends in the media can be more professional and objective when writing relevant reports in the future,"

This is tantamount to saying that Matthew is not professional and objective enough.

…………

Zheng Jiayi walked out of the door surrounded by a group of people, which also meant that the press conference had officially ended.

But now, before the press conference, Matthew, who had attracted a lot of attention, not only did no one say goodbye to him, but those guys even stayed away from him when walking. Matthew finally couldn't stand it anymore.

He was the last to leave Netflix, only drove the car a short distance, and hurriedly dialed a phone number, "Hello, Barry, they have submitted a letter of protest to our newspaper,"

Although the newspaper has not told him about this, it must be because the letter has not been delivered yet.

Compared to his panic, the other party seemed very calm, "Haven't we considered the possible consequences in advance? At most, you will be reprimanded by your boss. What's unacceptable?"

The key is that you did not publish this report for free. We paid for it.

"Don't contact me if you have nothing to do recently,"

Hearing that Barry wanted to hang up the phone, Matthew hurriedly said, "Wait, they will launch a website tomorrow. It is said that the main purpose of this website is to cooperate with Netflix,"

"Got it," the other party hung up the phone.

Matthew thought about it, yes, just like what his classmate Barry said, this matter will not have too serious consequences, it is just a report expressing doubts, at most, let the boss say a few words.

But, hehe, the income this time is enough for a luxury Caribbean tour.

Yes, Matthew's report was paid.

Although the control of paid news in the United States is very strict, this profession, which is almost as old as prostitutes, is impossible to eliminate.

If one of his classmates holds a high position in McDonald's, and he writes an article questioning KFC, it would be asking for trouble and ruining his future. Matthew would not do such a stupid thing.

But this time is different. In addition to the request of his classmate Barry and the generous reward, the reason that finally prompted Matthew to write such an article is that there is no direct competition between the party that commissioned him to write this report and the party being reported. Most people would not connect the two parties together.

Even Matthew himself is not clear about the reason why Barry asked him to write such a report.

By the way, he hopes to encounter such a thing with generous rewards and no risks a few times.

Just after starting the car again, the phone rang again. When he looked at the caller ID, he found a place to stop the car again, took a deep breath and picked up the phone, "Hi!"

The next moment, he couldn't help but hold the phone far away. As expected, his boss sounded a little annoyed. It is understandable that he agreed to publish this report, and he would be scolded by his boss.

"The other party has clearly pointed out that you are not welcome to attend their company's related press conference as a representative of USA Today."

Matthew had expected this matter, and it was not a big deal. He could still get their news without going to the press conference.

"Google has also expressed the same intention."

"What?" Matthew did not expect this situation. Why would Google follow suit?

Why is Google more popular? Because Feng Yiping is a major shareholder and executive of Google, because Feng Yiping and the founder of Google are close friends, and because the two people at Google also hate such unprofessional reporters.

"The newspaper's final decision is that you should come back and replace your colleagues, who are already on the way,"

"What?" Matthew repeated.

How could this happen? Silicon Valley is also a place where he has been working for a long time. This transfer directly affects his career.

"Boss," he was about to explain, but his boss had hung up the phone.

…………

On the other side, Barry picked up a few folders and walked into his boss's office. While his boss was signing, he quickly said, "The impact of that report will be eliminated tomorrow. They have a new website going online tomorrow."

"Oh,"

"Do I need to take follow-up measures?" Barry asked.

"You can do it as you wish. You don't need to report to me." In fact, the release of this report had nothing to do with her. It was all Barry's idea.

"I understand, Ms. Whitman,"

This person is Meg Whitman of eBay.
