Chapter 133 Provocation (first order)

  In September, Facebook’s new office a few kilometers away from the campus has finally been renovated.

  Before the official relocation, Xia Jingxing called the queen photographer Kevin and asked him to take a photo of all the employees in front of the old office.

  Xia Jingxing, Yang Niu, and Little Dog, wearing Facebook logo uniforms, stood at the forefront, and behind them stood nearly forty employees who also wore Facebook T-shirts.

  Faced with the camera, everyone smiled. It would be happy to be able to work in a better office.

  After the group photo was taken, the employees and the workers employed by the moving company began to move things.

  There are not many start-ups, and after a while, they are all emptied.

After the office was emptied, Xia Jingxing, Little Dog, and Yang Niu re-entered the two sets of offices in Building F and Building G of the incubator base. They only felt empty and a pile of white paper was sprinkled on the floor.

  The office that was full of voices a moment ago was a bit bleak at this time.

  The three of them did not let go of a corner, and scanned the two offices one by one, keeping in mind.

  Everyone has a look of emotion. Here, there are shadows that everyone has struggled.

   moved away at once, why is there still a little vacancy in my heart?

  This kind of feeling is the most obvious, he smiled and said: "Boss, how do I feel like I was mopping the floor in the office one second, and it will be like this in the next second?"

   "Will you come back later?"

   Yang Niu Xiang Xiang Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "I really want to buy this place and make it a memorial."

  Xia Jingxing is happy, "Okay, when Facebook becomes the size of Yahoo, I should be able to discuss with the Stanford school, keep it as it is, and make it a memorial."

  The three of you said a word to me, and sighed for a while in the office.

"All right!"

  Xia Jingxing gathered up his thoughts and waved his hand, "Let's go! New challenges are waiting for us!"

  The two followed him out of the office, and as the door closed and locked, they bid farewell to the incubation base and the start-up period.

  …………

  …………

   Facebook’s new office in Silicon Valley.

  Stepping on the soft carpet, Xia Jingxing looked at the huge transparent floor-to-ceiling windows and nodded with satisfaction. It didn't take more than two months for the decoration to be pretty good, which suits his liking.

  Kristina smiled and walked into his office, "Everyone is full of praise for the new office. You can go to the pantry for a cup of coffee when you are tired. If you are tired from working overtime at night, you can have a rest in the lounge...

  In short, everyone seems to love it, and the atmosphere is very cheerful. "

   "That's very good!"

  Xia Jingxing smiled, and the two began to chat about work again.

  "Stationery, hats, and umbrellas have arrived at the port and are entering Amazon's warehouse."

  The foreign girl nodded, “The new job on Amazon store is ready and ready to go on sale at any time.”

  "I am not going to make money for this batch of goods, or I can make a little less."

  The foreign girl frowned, "Any gift?"

  Xia Jingxing nodded, "Yes, I said before, this is a marketing method, and profit is not our biggest goal."

   "To attract new Amazon users, register Amazon through our Facebook page. In addition to the website promotion must be eye-catching and in place, we also have to make some profit."

  The two people discussed for a while and settled down the new marketing campaign.

  Xia Jingxing remembered something and reminded him: “By the way, summer is about to pass, and this batch of T-shirts in hand must be sold in time.”

"Do not worry!"

  The foreign girl nodded, "We have already calculated the sales volume and the season, and there will never be an inventory backlog."

  …………

  …………

  Mid-September.

   Just when Facebook was trying to completely occupy the American university campus, a blockbuster news came from the market.

  "Daoyou.com announced that its registered users exceeded 5 million, successfully surpassing the campus social networking site Facebook, and with a valuation of more than 100 million U.S. dollars, it received 13 million U.S. dollar round A investments from venture capitalists KleierPerkins and Benchmark&Battery."

  The news came very suddenly, and it caused a sensation throughout Silicon Valley.

  "Social networking sites" have officially become a hot topic throughout Silicon Valley from the past.

  Daoyou.com founder and CEO Jonathan Abrams held a grand financing press conference.

  At the meeting site, reporters deliberately picked things up and displayed the latest Alexa rankings. Diaoyou.com still lags behind Facebook by a small margin.

  The reporter asked: "Isn't this still behind Facebook? How can it be called surpassing?"

  Jonathan took this opportunity to explain to reporters and the outside world: “Daoyou.com has more than 1 million users in Asia, and it is still growing at a rate that exceeds that of the United States...

  A considerable part of these Asian users have not installed the Alexa plug-in, so the data has not been counted..."

  The reporter doesn't care about this, and continues to pick things, or call digging holes.

  Jonathan has been living in the shadow of Facebook since he founded the dating network.

  How can I bear the sarcasm of the reporters, and finally let go of the cruel words: "After three months, the number of domestic users in the United States has surpassed Facebook, and the latest ranking of Alexa has surpassed Facebook."

  This is exactly the answer the reporter wanted. It was directly published in the newspaper, and even the title of this issue was changed to "The Controversy for Social Kings".

  In addition to being put on the face of the competition between Diaoyou.com and Facebook by reporters, Google once wanted to buy Diaoyou.com for $30 million, but it was also turned over by reporters at the meeting, and the old things were brought up again.

  In addition to looking to Facebook to talk about the acquisition, Google also contacted Diaoyou.com, but it was also rejected.

  Jonathan made a bold statement in front of the reporter: “The thirty million US dollars can only prove that it is a wrong number. Google misjudged the potential of social networking sites. I think they should regret it at this moment.

  Because the current valuation of Diaoyou.com is 100 million US dollars, the future will be even more than this number.

  In the coming time, Diaoyou.com, as the first international social networking site, will vigorously launch an international strategy.

   and plan to log on to Nasdaq in the next three years..."

  The dot-com bubble period has just passed, and it hasn’t been fully relieved yet, and some companies have chanted the slogan to go public.

  This evokes the reporter’s mentality that it’s not too big to watch the excitement, and it is very topical.

  After proper processing by reporters, California and Silicon Valley press releases have been released.

   "The Battle of the Social Kings",

  "Daoyou.com CEO's Talk: Crushing Facebook in Three Months",

   "No one knows socially better than me-Dating.com CEO Jonathan",

   "Rejecting Google's $30 million acquisition, he will take the company to go public for three years."

  ……

  There are many newspapers with similar exaggerated headlines, and there is a full stack of them on Xia Jingxing’s desk.

  Xia Jingxing didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of nutritious report, it was the foreign girl who insisted to buy it back for research.

  After researching, I found that farts are useless.

  There are also reporters who came to Facebook’s new office, hoping to interview the founding management team of Facebook. What’s your response to Jonathan’s provocation? Does Facebook have any financing plans in the near future?

  All these reporters were stopped outside by the front desk, and Facebook did not accept any media interviews.

  However, Xia Jingxing still entrusted the front desk to respond to Jonathan’s provocation.

  The front desk handed a small note to the reporter, which read: Life or death is indifferent, do it if you don’t accept it, and see the answer in three months!

  The reporter found this response interesting, and the reporter took a photo of this note.

  Under the concoction of these people, Facebook, as the originator of social networking, simply looks down on Dating.com, and is reluctant to accept interviews.

  Under the media's challenges and repeated reports, Diaoyou.com and Facebook have gained more and more attention, and the number of users has skyrocketed!
