Chapter 435: The "Face OR Face" That Stunned Everyone
A week later, the "FaceORFace" website registered an astonishing 1 million. At this moment, everyone on Wall Street exclaimed: The wolf is coming.
Yes, with more than 1 million registrations and an upper limit of about 10, at this moment, the "FaceORFace" website has become a dazzling star on the Internet, and it has also become a fragrant "fat" in the eyes of Wall Street. At this time, All kinds of small moves always come, don't dare to make acquisitions and annexations, let's make small moves.
A lot of money has been thrown, all kinds of coercion and inducements, poaching people, and poaching the most important scientific and technological personnel, all they want is your technology, not to mention, the "FaceORFace" website is really not monolithic, some new The recruited technicians couldn't stand the temptation of such high salary and chose to change jobs one after another. Fortunately, the key personnel, mainly Mark, have withstood the temptation. These straight men in science also have their own ideals and are not so short-sighted, but , In order to cope with such a situation, Lu Ning still improved everyone's welfare accordingly.
As for celebrity friends, there is always time to lose face alone. Therefore, Lu Ning decided that every public figure will be rewarded according to the number of likes when he publishes the latest trend. Such a reward mechanism can Better win over people.
Whether the star lacks your money is another matter, at least in this way, people will feel more comfortable.
As for companies that poach people with high salaries, they are a little depressed. Those poached are at most new employees who have recently joined the company. Moreover, they also signed a non-disclosure agreement when they joined the company. It can be said that there are not many "dry goods" that can be used. share.
It can be said that they have to pay high salaries, but they are idlers who are not very useful. Of course, many similar websites have also sprung up overnight like bamboo shoots after a rain.
However, these imitations, or the technical department passed the test, are just mechanical, lacking the soul of the website, and the user response is not good.
Some websites do a good job, but unfortunately, there is no financial support behind them, and they can't spend money in the spending stage, where will there be traffic.
Also, if you don't pay attention to hardware support, when there are too many people, the website will directly fall into a state of paralysis. Anyway, problems of various sizes continue.
Some smart people will borrow the fame of the "FaceORFace" website and use a similar name to attract attention. However, such a website will receive a lawyer's letter from the "FaceORFace" website the next day. What it does is to kill one by one.
Another week later, most of those websites that popped up burned hundreds of thousands of dollars and had to shut down for various reasons.
The "FaceORFace" website seized this opportunity and increased its market share. The advertisements were overwhelming, and the number of registered people increased instead of falling. It has reached 2 million, and, most importantly, the number of simultaneous online users has reached an astonishing 420,000.
The "FaceORFace" website has also reached the final sprint stage for the selection of the most beautiful school flowers in colleges and universities. This event has also aroused unanimous welcome from the students of major colleges and universities. It can be said that the "FaceORFace" website is absolutely the best in the current major colleges and universities in the United States. The existence of NO.1.
At the same time, the number of registrations on the "FaceORFace" website soared again during the event. Not only college students came in, but even high school students became the main users of the "FaceORFace" website.
By the end of the third week, the "FaceORFace" site had more than 4 million registered users.
At this time, the opponent of the "FaceORFace" website finally went online, and major consortiums also aimed at this business opportunity, organized their own technology companies, and distributed network talents everywhere. For a time, graduates in the IT industry became the eyes of major companies. 's baby.
And these online websites, because they missed the opportunity, the increase of users is not large, and their reputation is not as big as the "FaceORFace" website.
At this time, the "FaceORFace" website has spent nearly 40 million US dollars, most of which are used for publicity, and users have it. Next, it is time to test its earning ability.
At this time, New York's second-generation Charles found Elaine, willing to spend 2 million US dollars a year to advertise on the "FaceORFace" website to promote his own cosmetics company.
To be honest, this decision of Charles still took a certain risk. After all, no one knows what the promotion ability of "FaceORFace" is.
And Charles' cosmetics company, in itself, is facing low-end customers, and the market price is not high. In terms of this price, it is suitable for school students, or girls who have just entered the society.
This cosmetic advertisement was instructed by Lu Ning to be placed on the front page of the "FaceORFace" website. Sometimes, it will be pushed randomly. As for the effect, it will be tested by the market.
However, no one expected that the sales of this cosmetic product would double directly on the second day after the advertisement was launched, which made Charles never expect that the effect would be so obvious.
For a while, the merchants who were still hesitating came to Yilian Yu and wanted to discuss cooperation. At this time, the business department of the "FaceORFace" Internet technology company came into being.
Various advertising projects are proceeding in an orderly manner, and the total advertising expenses under discussion have reached 100 million yuan.
Such a strong ability to attract money makes all technology companies see it, and not one or two are jealous. Since the "FaceORFace" website can do this, of course, you can do it yourself, anxious websites, or those that are already difficult to operate. Advertising has also been launched.
Some companies that feel that the price of "FaceORFace" is too high have found other partners. As a result, other websites that are firmly seated in Diaoyutai are also anxious. After all, there is only such a piece of cake.
As a result, they have also started their advertising journeys. However, the result is obvious. The base advantage of the "FaceORFace" website is too great. Generally, the online advertising products can often be sold.
And those low-priced websites, although they are working hard to promote their products, but the effect is not satisfactory, and some even have a reverse growth on the second day.
This made all the merchants see the situation clearly, those who were greedy for cheap, regretted their originality, and the companies who chose the "FaceORFace" website celebrated each other, feeling that this was a worthwhile cooperation.
At this time, the estimate of the "FaceORFace" website was estimated to be an unprecedented $3 billion.
There are even rumors that IBM and Microsoft are interested in bringing the "FaceORFace" website under their banner.
However, when Lu Ning received the news, he smiled faintly, huh, 3 billion valuation?
In the eyes of others, it may be a sky-high price, but in Lu Ning's eyes, this is nowhere.
