Chapter 195： Twitter Opportunity

"Almighty Checkin( to find the latest chapter!

As one of the founders of Netscape, Mark certainly knows what the number of users means to an Internet company.

However, users are difficult to develop, especially in the United States. If you want people to use your stuff, you have to find ways to get people to accept it and be patient in promoting it.

In Mark's experience, this kind of thing can't be rushed. Twitter is now growing faster than the Netscape browser he founded. As long as they can hold their own, the future will be promising.

But Mark had to admit that Xu Ang was right. Paul was not Bill. This guy had a much better sense of the Internet than Bill. Although Twitter is developing well now, it is always a start-up company. If it is deliberately targeted by Paul, it is very likely that it will decline.

While suppressing them, Paul can use the huge users of the Netscape browser in his hand to build a similar company, and take good ideas like Twitter as his own and turn them into part of his wealth empire.

Mark couldn't accept this.

"Boss, what's the opportunity you're talking about?"

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, don't worry."

Xu Ang signaled to Mark to calm down and not be in a hurry. He also didn't have the habit of selling off people's appetites. He pointed to a report in the top newspaper and said to Mark, "Look at this and you'll find the answer."

Taking a closer look, Mark saw that the report that Xu Ang pointed to was in the entertainment section, and people in the technology circle like him usually don't pay much attention to this section.

After all, Mark is a technologist, and he spends his spare time reading newspapers on the technology sector.

Now add a financial section.

This is... a dislike of the upcoming new animated film by Peak Studios, and a critique of Peak Studios.

Mark remembered that Peak Studios was also the business of his own boss.

What does the boss let me see this mean?

Mark guessed: "Boss, you mean to let Twitter make a fuss about the release of Peak Studio's new movie "Interstellar"."

"That's right..." Mark's heart was just relieved, and before he was happy that he had the right answer, Xu Ang changed the subject, "It's not right either."

Mark was depressed, and he wanted to say to Xu Ang: "Boss, can you not play dumb riddles?"

Xu Ang did not give him a riddle. He said to Mark: "The Internet is a new thing, and Twitter is also a new thing. Those who stand on the opposite side of them still think that they can control the right to speak, and use traditional media such as print media to influence Peak's work. Critics at the box office of the new animated film "Interstellar," they represent the old forces."

Mark suddenly realized: "I see, boss. It's a war between the new and the old."

Xu Ang secretly said, 'You can teach children', and continued to say to Mark: "Film critics used to have the right to speak. They can gang up with traditional media such as paper media and manipulate public opinion through the asymmetry of the right to speak. Because the voice of ordinary people is too loud. Tiny, even if they hoarse their voices and risk their lives, they can only let the people around them hear their own voices. Unlike film critics, they cooperate with the media. Through the media, they can say whatever they want and write an essay. spread over a large area, thereby creating the illusion that they are the authority, and their opinions can trigger public opinion and lead the tide of society.”

Mark excitedly clapped his hands and said, "Yes, that's it. The previous era was too unfair to ordinary people, and they had no channel to speak. What we need to do on Twitter is to make the voice of ordinary people listen to the world. Let all people be free to express their voices, express their opinions, and give all ordinary people a channel to say no to those so-called authorities."

Xu Ang nodded: "Yes, we are doing a great thing."

authority?

For Americans, one of the things they love most is to fight against authority.

This is in the name of freedom, holding high the banner of freedom of speech, and whoever does not allow them to do so is the enemy of freedom.

If there are other things, there may not be many people involved, but if you have to fight against authority, show your personality, and let thousands of people see what you say, the old rice will be excited.

"Boss, your idea is really cool."

Mark dared to swear by his young female assistant that if he followed Xu Ang's idea, he would use the public opinion campaign before the release of Peak's new animated film "Interstellar Baby" as an opportunity to provoke people's doubts about the existing film and television authority. , come to an online and offline public opinion war, no matter how successful or not this war is, Twitter can get immeasurable benefits.

Not to mention the rest, even the best advertisements cannot be bought just by the spread of popularity, let alone attracting a large number of new users.

The more he thought about it, the more Mark felt that this was feasible.

The more he thought about it, the more Mark thought it could be done.

"Leave it to me, boss. I'll make it work."

Mark assured Xu Ang.

He thinks Xu Ang is right, this is indeed an opportunity for Twitter's users to achieve explosive growth is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Twitter to rise rapidly.

Taking advantage of the opportunity that sparked a war of words between film critics and ordinary audiences when "Interstellar" was released, he has a very great possibility to make Twitter achieve a big leap that no one expected.

Well, except for his boss Xu Angde.

Mark is looking forward to the scene after Twitter develops.

At that time, even if Paul wanted to use Microsoft's power to suppress himself, Bill might not be able to pass.

With enough users, Twitter will have enough confidence and enough leverage to make the enemy dare not act rashly because of fear.

"Go ahead and do it, Mark."

Xu Ang gave Mark the authority.

"Don't worry, boss, I will kick these guys **** and let them know how stupid it is to be your enemy, boss."

"Stupid people don't realize how stupid they are, and even if they do, they don't want to admit it."

The corners of Xu Ang's mouth were slightly upturned, obviously a smile was blooming, but Mark, who was sitting opposite him, felt a cold wind blowing like a knife.

This feeling made Mark shiver, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.

Why do I feel such a terrible boss?

He is just a boy who is not yet nineteen years old!

Just when Max Xu was about to float to other places, he heard Xu Ang say: "I'm not interested in kicking their farts, I just want them to recognize the reality - times have changed."

"The world is theirs and ours, but it belongs to young people in the end. They can't be attached, and they don't want to make room for newcomers. We grab it ourselves."

Xu Ang stood up and opened his arms: "In the new era, newcomers should have the right to speak. Mark, let's grab their right to speak."
