Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 628 Privacy Protection

Another year of "The Voice" has begun. This program has become popular all over the world and has become a representative of domestic cultural exports. It maintains a high standard in China and is still a phenomenon-level program.

This variety show is part of Qu Li's legend. His phrase "Making miracles with great effort" on the stage has been widely circulated up to now, including many people shouting it when they are working on projects, and it has deceived countless people.

Qu Li is not going to sing, and returns to Yangcheng to watch the cartoon "Despicable Me" with Chen Danlin. The virtual idol "Minion" under Time's banner has become a "star" who is popular all over the world, and the various background settings are getting more and more perfect.

Time has reached a cooperation agreement with Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment to jointly produce the "Minions" series of films. The first film is expected to be released in 2015, which may become another footnote of his legendary life.

Time owns "Hatsune Miku" and "Minions". Originally, Pleasant Goat was very good, but unfortunately the derivatives were sold to Disney, and "Bear Infested" was also very good. Unfortunately, Fantawild was not short of money, and had no idea of ​​selling Bear and Bear II.

As someone who has been there, Qu Li remembers that "Peppa Pig has tattoos on his body, and the applause is given to people in the society." He arranged for someone to acquire this British brand, but it was not enough, and he won the authorization of its IP derivatives.

These gadgets that can create social hot spots and fashion can only be sold on the Jumei Juhuasuan platform, which can bring some traffic to some extent.

Watching the cartoons of "Despicable Me" and thinking about these messy things, Time Company now feels like a hodgepodge. Another small version of WeChat has been upgraded, and the mini-game "All Airplane Wars" has appeared, which has become a social hot spot in just a few days.Time can be said to become the domestic mobile Internet traffic center, and every move can create hot spots.

Including their establishment of the Singapore International Headquarters, even if there is no publicity, it is still known by the domestic media. Time WeChat WeChat occupies the market leader in China, Japan and other countries, and has not fallen out of the top three in most countries.

Domestic users who use WeChat may take the success of WeChat for granted, but the success of Instagram is even more shocking.

In the latest version upgrade, Instagram introduced a 15-second short video function, from text to video, which is a functional evolution, information flow plus personalized push, which optimizes the user experience. Coupled with the help of WeChat Moments, Instagram has more than 2 million monthly active users (not registered), and its global popularity has soared.

Time jumped out and became the most internationalized mobile Internet company. The $30 billion repurchase price at the beginning is now considered to be the price of cabbage.However, this also promoted the social giant's competition for WhatsApp.

Both Facebook and Goose Factory have taken a fancy to WhatsApp, which has a leading advantage in many European and American countries and regions, and wants to achieve their goals through acquisitions.

At this time, Huang Zheng was still in Singapore and did not return to China. A negative news broke out on Instagram, which revised the user privacy policy, and then someone spread rumors that they wanted to use the user's pictures to make money, which caused a lot of criticism.

This is quite polite. The unkind remarks directly bind the identity of Instagram and Chinese companies, saying that China does not pay attention to user privacy, and Chinese companies do not care either.What's more, rumors were spread that Time Company wanted to steal users' privacy...

This can be said to be an evolution of rumors in the Bay Area, which has involved a lot of their energy. It is true that Instagram will introduce advertisements, but it is a bit far-fetched to sell user pictures for profit. The key is that rumors spread faster and wider than their explanations.

This may be an accidental phenomenon, but combined with the ongoing acquisitions of Facebook and Goose Factory, maybe someone deliberately tormented Time Company to distract Qu Li.It is convenient for them to acquire WhatsApp.Many things can only be guessed, and many troubles can only be dealt with hard. It is a waste of money. Please ask the public relations company to formulate a long-term strategy and enrich the team of Time-Time International.

"Is it necessary to separate Time Public and Jumei?"

However, within Jumei, there are still some people who question it. Some people think that making a fuss out of a molehill, they run the company legally and in accordance with regulations, and they already have a large user base overseas. Domestic experience tells them that there is no need to pay so much attention to it.Some people think that we should go through the process and let Jumei's public relations department be responsible...

"Time is an independently operated subsidiary of Jumei, and there will definitely be cooperation in the future, but you have to understand that Time is a social media company. In the future, except for the compliance department, don't interfere if you can." Qu Li expressed his attitude with an unprecedentedly strong posture. Just like Ahri, who can't do business well, e-commerce thinking and social media thinking are not on the same channel at all.

Giving up trying to make it known to the public, Qu Li discussed with a few people that WeChat and Instagram are applications with strategic value, and they cannot be overemphasized. He used saturated attacks on Dafa in Guge to be even more ruthless, and now he is just asking the public relations team in the United States to pay more. That’s all.

Lu Qi didn't object, or he saw Qu Li's insistence and didn't object. It didn't matter. After arranging the funds, he told Huang Zheng some of the resources of Jumei Glory in the United States, and let him take full responsibility. However, he still arranged a senior assistant for him to help him check and fill in the gaps.

The troubles that Shiguang encountered overseas were quickly reflected on the domestic Internet. Some people suspected that Shiguang was treated differently, while others gloated, saying that domestic companies are used to being unscrupulous, and they don’t know how to restrain themselves when they go abroad.

Qu Li didn't want to speak lightly, but reposted Huang Zheng's speech on Twitter and Weibo: They will never make money by selling pictures uploaded by users in the past, now and in the future!

In addition, it introduced the operation mode of time in detail. The parent company is in China, but time international is registered in Singapore and needs to abide by the laws of the country where it is located. The server is arranged in Silicon Valley. The adjustment of the privacy policy this time is to...

The most important thing is of course to deny the rumors from the outside world. Even if you play with words, you will not hesitate to spread Shiguang and Huang Zheng's refutation of the rumors to more users.

Huang Zheng and others recorded a 15-second short video by the way, explaining and promoting Instagram's new features, including the latest Stories, users can post photos and videos on their personal profiles, but they will automatically disappear after 24 hours.

The emergence of short video and Stories functions has attracted the attention of a large number of users, and many people have begun to try it. Time's innovative ability has been verified, and fewer people pay attention to privacy protection and information security.

It’s not all due to their efforts. Facebook issued an announcement that they found a technical loophole in the system, which led to the leakage of personal information such as user email addresses and phone numbers. At present, 600 million users have been affected.

Coupled with the information leaked by hackers before, it turns out that the user privacy of well-known Internet companies in Silicon Valley is not so safe.

It's not that time is so powerful that it is unrivaled, it all depends on the peers!
