Chapter 43 Overnight
Ah ~
In the double room of the Grand Harbor Hotel, Yang welcomed the morning sun, sat up from the bed, lazily stretched his arms, and yawned the first big yawn after waking up this morning.
"Morning, beauty!" Yang Huan greeted Zhang Ning who was on the opposite bed.
Getting out of bed, he didn't mind at all, and went straight into the bathroom.
Zhang Ning glanced at it secretly, his pink face flushed slightly, and he spat, but at least he didn't scream and call a pervert like he did at the beginning.
I have to admit that her immunity to Yang Huan's behavior has indeed improved a lot.
There was the sound of brushing teeth and washing face in the bathroom. Zhang Ning continued to sit on the bed, but instead of using a laptop, she used the Apple phone that Yang Huan bought as a gift to log in to WeChat and send and receive messages.
The studio and some people around Yang Huan have been using this app for a long time.
"The old pig sent a message saying that the server will be upgraded."
Zhang Ning didn't speak until Yang Huan came out of the bathroom.
Upgrading the server requires money, and Zhang Ning is responsible for managing the money, and she is responsible for all Yang Huan's expenses.
"Let's upgrade, you can figure it out." Yang Huan said nonchalantly.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Ning secretly laughed in his heart, so just keep pretending, I don't believe you don't want to know how many users there are.
You know, she got up secretly several times last night, just to care about the number of users who downloaded WeChat.
The tension was as painful as she was waiting for the college entrance examination score line.
Yang Huan attaches so much importance to this app and makes great efforts to promote it, does he care?
"By the way, what do you want for breakfast?" Yang Huan asked while getting dressed.
"Whatever you want." Zhang Ning replied casually, but then asked again, "Wang Lin proposed to recruit a few more people to develop different language versions."
She wanted to see when Yang Huan would take the initiative to ask.
"Well, yes, first develop the Chinese version, and then develop other languages. Hurry up."
Yang Huan is very clear that there are no secrets on the Internet. When people see that you are popular, they will immediately follow suit.
So the best thing is to grab the beach and land quickly to seize the market before everyone reacts.
At the very least, we have to plant a flag first.
"By the way, you call Aston Martin in the morning and tell Ulrich Bates that if you don't get Master Ben a car quickly, I'm going to smash his broken factory!"
As soon as Ulrich Bates was mentioned, Yang Huan looked aggrieved.
The deposit has been paid for more than half a month, but the car has not been seen yet. The days of waiting for the car are really hard.
Although he now has a Bentley for transportation, Yang Huan still likes to drive by himself.
At the very least, it's easier to pick up girls while driving an awesome Aston Martin.
"Oh." Zhang Ning agreed. Aston Martin seemed to have encountered some problems with its production capacity.
After Yang Huan got dressed, he walked to Zhang Ning's bed, sat down and put on his shoes, "By the way, how many WeChat users were there last night?"
When Zhang Ning heard it, he felt happy. If you pretend again, let you continue to pretend, and finally ask yourself?
When she was still thinking of teasing Yang Huan's appetite, Yang Huan said something that made her dumbfounded.
"Is there 100 million?"
"100 million?" Zhang Ning lost his voice. It's only been one night, less than 24 hours, and you want to break through 100 million users?
Even if you are in China, even if the three giants of BAT push at the same time, it will be difficult to do it, let alone you have nothing.
"No?" Yang Huan raised his head, looked at Zhang Ning's flower-like face, then lowered his head and continued to tie his shoelaces, but muttered, "Damn, Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin are really useless. They can't even handle 100 million. They even upgraded the server, what a fart."
Zhang Ning smiled wryly, did he really think it was so easy to attract users?
"Now the number of WeChat users has exceeded [-], which is already very remarkable."
"Are you amazing?" Yang Huan shook his head with a sneer, "Call Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin and tell them to try their best to publicize and promote on Facebook and Twitter, invite more sailors, and create more momentum. Don't be afraid of wasting money. The most important thing is to create momentum and make noise. In the next three days, I want to see the best results!"
Sun Yue formulated the entire promotion and marketing plan for Zlatan Ibrahimovic to join Southampton, among which a very important point is the news media, and Yang Huan hopes that WeChat can use this momentum to rise strongly.
Otherwise, why did he do everything possible to let Ibrahimovic get a star account?
Not only Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but more and more star accounts such as Neymar and Balotelli, and even Southampton’s official star account will be launched in the future. We want to make WeChat a new platform for these stars to interact with their fans.
Raiola has promised to help Yang Huan attract more stars to register WeChat star accounts.
The premise is that Yang Huan's team must handle the event of Ibrahimovic's joining this time.
But what Yang Huan didn't know was that an operation he was very dissatisfied with caused a big shock on the far side of the ocean.

…………
Red Rock Cafe, an entrepreneurial cafe located in Mountain View, Silicon Valley.
The most distinctive feature is the second floor of the cafe, which is full of crooked tables with various laptops on them, and there is always a person who is quietly writing code in front of each table.
Many people from Silicon Valley startups like to gather here, because brilliant ideas are born here almost all the time.
Jan Koum and Brian Acton are the two founders of WhatsApp. They also like to stay on the second floor of the Red Rock Café. They like to communicate with these young people who are waiting for entrepreneurial opportunities to stimulate the spark of creativity.
In the morning, they walked up to the second floor of the cafe as usual.
In normal times, they are the stars on the second floor of the coffee shop, and they are the focus of everyone's envy and jealousy. But today, when they climbed the stairs on the second floor, they found that these people did not greet them with their eyes as usual, but were discussing a novel topic.
WeChat!
"Their official Twitter announced that there are more than 20 users!"
"It's less than 24 hours?"
"So fast, what magic is this app? It got 20 users overnight!"
"The main thing is the publicity on newspapers, Facebook and Twitter, especially Facebook and Twitter. All kinds of forwarding and links are indirectly helping them increase users."
"Well, they seem to use a recently popular football star as a publicity stunt to attract the attention of the media and fans, and then use the attention of users to attract them to use this app."
"I downloaded the app and followed that star account, and there seems to be nothing special about it."
Jan Koum and Brian Acton were both a little strange, and walked to a friend who was usually familiar with them.
"What's the matter? Has another novelty come out?"
The man looked up, saw the two of them, and immediately nodded, "Well, in the UK, a group of college students followed your style and created a mobile app called WeChat, which was released to users of platforms such as IOS, Android, and BlackBerry for free."
"All free?" Jan Koum was taken aback.
"Yes, it's free, and they've attracted over 24 users in less than 20 hours."
Jan Koum and Brian Acton were full of surprise, "How is this possible?"
"We also think it is unlikely, but the facts are in front of us."
After a pause, the man tried to analyze again: "I think it is mainly related to the European media. Football is their priority resource for reporting. In the UK, even the divorce of stars can surpass current affairs and politics and make headlines. That's why the No. [-] center named Zlatan Ibrahimovic made a transfer, and every move attracted the attention of the media and fans."
"You should take countermeasures as soon as possible."
Jan Koum and Brian Acton looked at each other, and they both noticed a little panic in the other's eyes. This was the first time they had a challenger, and it was the challenger who was about to push them to a desperate situation.
free?
Their only income now is download charges!
Free is tantamount to changing their lives!
"What's more, we will also free it for a limited time, and we will talk about grabbing more users." Brian Acton was a little anxious.
It took them nearly a year from the release to 20 users, but this software only took less than a day. It can be predicted that if they continue to grow like this, it will inevitably become a serious problem for them.
Free for a limited time can quickly attract users, but the problem it brings is also obvious, that is, not only can they not make money, but they have to lose a lot of money. Not to mention, the mobile phone SMS verification during registration is a huge expense.
And once there are more users, whether the server can bear it is also a question.
But all of this is out of the question.
"Okay, it's free for a limited time, let's take a gamble!"
…………
…………
Also in Mountain View, there are many people who are always paying attention to the Internet and smartphones, and people with a keen sense of smell have captured the news that WeChat has more than 24 users in 20 hours.
On Facebook and Twitter, more and more users began to share their experience of using WeChat.
"Thanks to WeChat, I re-acquainted with a friend who I haven't contacted for a long time. He has been forgotten in a corner of the mobile phone address book. It is WeChat that allows me to rediscover him."
"Using WeChat has filled me with surprises, and I find that more and more friends around me are using it."
"It's much more convenient than WhatsApp. It can automatically scan the phone's contacts. WhatsApp is too troublesome. It's as troublesome as an old lady's foot wrap. You have to do cumbersome manual settings. More importantly, WeChat promises to be free forever."
"Its user experience is great. Through it, I can know whether my friends have received, viewed and responded to my messages. This feeling is so interesting. Is it really developed in only one week?"
There has been a lot of praise all over the Internet, and some users have also accused the app of scanning phone contacts, believing that this viral promotion method violates users' privacy.
But more users don't think this is a problem, because the contacts in the mobile phone are basically close people who have each other's phone numbers. Compared with the convenient and interesting services provided by the application, the privacy problem is insignificant.
As a result, on the Internet, two parties have launched a debate around privacy and fast and convenient services. These two seemingly irreconcilable topics have launched a debate. Both parties have begun to present their own evidence to convince the other party that their views are more important and more accurate.
But in the end, no one can convince anyone.
Two hours after the release of No.30, the number of WeChat users exceeded 25, and the growth rate was getting faster and faster, surpassing the momentum of WhatsApp in one fell swoop.
It was at this time that WhatsApp officially announced that it would be free for a limited time, which started the first shot in the battle for users between the two sides.
Yang Huan was not aware of the debate launched by Internet users against WeChat, and he temporarily ignored the competition with WhatsApp, but at this moment, in front of him, he had no choice but to mediate between two guys who were quarreling with each other.
He couldn't understand it.
What's the noise?
What's the noise?
Isn't it just a matter of a few broken money?
He has always believed that if money can solve a problem, it must not be a problem.
Because he has nothing else but a lot of money!
