Chapter 185

"Mr. Zheng, does Huizhong really want to completely withdraw from the American market?"

"Mr. Zheng, what do you think of Zynga and Facebook's partnership to block your company's happy farm?"

"Mr. Zheng, are you questioning the impartiality of our media industry? Are you talking about the irrationality of the American people?"

For a time, there was a riot at the press conference. The staff maintaining order had to get close to the media and journalists and press down their competing microphones.

Zheng Siwen looked at the signs of various media and selected journalists from several media according to their types and influence. Among them, there were questions about Huizhong's complex relationship with Zynga and Facebook, as well as his personal and Huizhong's views on American media and Americans.

The next day, many media around the world reported the relevant contents of the press conference.

On April 21, the overseas edition of Xinhua News Agency published the following news.

"Happyfarmville, which is popular all over the world, may withdraw from the U.S. market!" Yahoo home page navigation news.

"Facebook colludes with Zynga to exclude foreign companies. Is the United States becoming more and more closed under the financial crisis?" reported Fox News Channel of News Corporation.

"Is the cultural self-confidence of the American people gradually disappearing?" AOL debated today.

"Is the American game industry really bad? Zynga should rely on this despicable means to crowd out overseas companies!" the top hot post of the largest BBS forum in the United States.

...

With the competing reports of various media, the public opinion that had been stirred up by several companies such as Huizhong and Facebook has completely reached the peak. The media all over the world and many gamers of happy farm have begun to pay attention to this matter.

While the public opinion and the public sympathize with Huizhong, many lost players of happy farm spontaneously return to the game, support the game and support Huizhong company. Not only that, because there are too many media reports this time, the coverage group is too wide, and the public has always been sympathetic to the weak, many did not play happy farm before Many people also poured into the game.

Happy farm, which was so noisy before, will be shut down, but it has not been implemented because Huizhong's advantages in public opinion and law have reversed.

In addition, some radical media and the public have also targeted companies such as Facebook and Zynga. Although legally, the farm games jointly launched by the two companies have no infringement, anyone who has played happy farm can see that Zynga's game is a naked plagiarism.

Facebook has set off a wave of returning to the peak of happy farm. At the same time, it has also set off a wave of resistance to plagiarism and Zynga games. The dramatic plot is very similar to the players' resistance to happy farm more than half a month ago.

Under the guidance of some news media behind the mysapce camp, the incident did not stop here. Part of the spearhead of public opinion was directed at mysapce's rival Facebook.

As a well-known emerging social giant in the United States, Facebook was originally widely favored by the public, but affected by the public opinion, many people have objections to Facebook. Facebook is black and white and wantonly plays with the trust of users. If mysapce's own products were not really easy to use, I'm afraid many people would jump to mysapce to use their services.

However, this situation has changed after the update of the new version of Happy Farm Happy ranch.

Because of the agreement and benefit exchange with mysapce, mysapce and the News Corporation behind him supported Huizhong from media opinion and domestic influence in exchange for the launch and update of the new version of happy farm on mysapce platform, and Facebook delayed it for half a month.

Originally, mysapce has accumulated nearly 10 million happy farm users due to a series of previous concessions. Some time ago, two or three million people were lost due to the plagiarism crisis. However, now, with the return of most players driven by public opinion and compassion, many players are surprised to find that there is a new version of happy farm on MySpace!

After entering the game, there are more signs leading to the ranch in the main view of the farm. Click the ranch, which contains chickens, ducks, cattle, pigs, foxes and other animals, which makes many pet loving players ecstatic. One pass 10, ten pass 100, and soon many farm players know about it.

Many of the games that used to play "happy farm" on Facebook are ready to move after knowing this. Many people ask when Huizhong official and Facebook official will update, but all the replies they receive are that there is no news for the time being, such as notice.

In this case, many players who smell the smell have felt that the developers of happy farm may have been in a stalemate with Facebook. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as mysapce updating before Facebook. You know, at the beginning, happy farm logged in to Facebook more than a month later, but now the situation is the opposite.

Players do not blame Huizhong, but they constantly blame Facebook. If it weren't for their tricks, Huizhong wouldn't ignore the operation on Facebook.

Facebook's complaint mailbox has been temporarily closed because there are too many users complaining. Many players who can't wait begin to lose their jobs and switch to mysapce platform. Anyway, there is also an "asset protection" mechanism. Any player who jumps over from Facebook can copy existing assets intact. In order to play games, many people still make this choice.

For several days in a row, the daily active users of happy farm on Myspace and Facebook have rebounded greatly. After recovering to the previous level, due to the free publicity of many media, a large number of new users have also poured into happy farm, bringing it a new wave of growth peak.

In just three days, the total number of users of "happy farm" dual platform has exceeded 40 million. This number of users has made "happy farm" the game with the largest number of users in the world. Even for social platforms such as Myspace and Facebook, the number of users is only several times more than it.

Most of the new users were attracted to the MySpace platform by the new version. Moreover, there was a rare loss of users on the Facebook platform. Within three days, the Facebook platform grew peacefully and still lost 1 million. Most of the 1 million users were players of happy farm, and some were due to the toss of Facebook, And said he would quit Facebook forever.

On the contrary, on the MySpace platform, the number of new users exceeded 5 million in three days. For a time, the operation team and senior management of MySpace were elated and couldn't help feeling happy. They seemed to have seen that under the first mover advantage of half a month, their social war against Facebook would usher in a major victory.
