Rebirth: It’s Like Flowing Water

Vol 5 Chapter 209: That's called social networking

It was a completely different experience from a traditional website. There was no dense text layout, and no pictures interspersed with dirt.

On the blue web page, there are only smart bubbles, each with a word in the middle.

UK, France, Italy, Sweden are different in size and distance, just move the mouse to control the bubbles to move away or close,

There is also a search box at the bottom of the screen, [Can't find your home country? beg me! 】You can see at a glance that if you don't find your own country, you can search here.

Vanessa smiled knowingly and tried to enter the United States, but unfortunately she didn't.

[Brother, your geography must fail! ] Well, Vanessa just remembered that this is the European station.

No way, I can only choose a random country - the United Kingdom.

At the moment of clicking, the bubble representing the country shattered and replaced with a city,

【You can't even find where you live, can you? 】Vanessa is already familiar with the routine, and continues to choose randomly, "Cambridge",

Only three bubbles jumped out this time, [Middle School] [University] [Social Animals (Social Animals)].

[There are only three, it's time to test your IQ]

"Wow!!" Vanessa couldn't help sighing, "This website is so good!"

Unlike other sites that are always stereotyped and businesslike dead, every word here seems to be so young and has a cynical sense of humor.

This time, Vanessa didn't choose middle school. After all, it wasn't a North American station, so she didn't need to be so meticulous. She chose the university she always liked.

Then, all the universities in Cambridge, England jumped out in the form of bubbles, and Winessa Key chose Cambridge University directly without looking at the prompt.

Next, two bubbles appeared, [Boy? 】【girl? 】Select a girl,

And then……

【Hi! Excellent Cambridge girl, the Cambridge community is choosing the most handsome boy, do you want to have sex? Of course, they also choose girls,

But I guess you won't be interested. 】 Of course, Vanessa wants to take a look. In fact, there are only options to watch, and there is no option not to watch.

The next content made Vanessa hooked.

In fact, it is a two-choice mini-game. It is still a bubble, but it is replaced by a photo.

There are two of them each time, without any introduction, just choose one to stay and one to eliminate based on feeling.

The one left will continue to take a photo of a new boy, and continue to choose which one to stay and which one to eliminate!

The more she played, the more excited she became, because these were really Cambridge boys, and they were all wearing Cambridge school uniforms.

"Oh! God, this is the coolest site I've ever seen!!

The one-of-two game doesn't take long, and the bubble game ends when Vanessa decides that a boy will be the ultimate winner.

"Well, excellent Cambridge girl, the boy you chose is a bit sought-after, but I believe in your charm."

"Now, are you going to complete the final step of registration and become part of the Cambridge community?

"Username (QQ number): ...

"password:…

"Of course!" Vanessa had completely forgotten that she was from North America.

A username was entered quickly. A password is set.

Until this time, as Vanessa had expected, the web page finally jumped to the normal page.

In the community section of Cambridge University, and the most handsome boy she just selected on the Internet, Vanessa was at the top of the selection list for a while, and she was completely blinded.

Imagine, if you are a student at Cambridge University, when you log in to this interface, you will see all your familiar or deja-vu classmates, and you will see all the content you are familiar with.

Maybe right on the list of the most popular boys and girls. Maybe you're what everyone talks about in the hot posts,

Here, you have a personal homepage, you can post your own news and photos, you can directly use the station letter to make appointments with classmates, discuss homework,

Discuss favorite boys and girls.

In addition to these, you can also go out of the school circle and go to the entire network to find like-minded friends without affecting your interpersonal relationships at school.

"It's just so cool!" Vanessa was a little mesmerized.

She was thinking that if her high school also selected the most beautiful girl, then she would definitely get the first place.

But! !

"Oh!! Damn!! North America is off."

"Why not!? It's not fair!"

When she came back to her senses, Vanessa immediately switched back to the Microsoft community, and the report-like interface of the traditional forum made her extremely abandon it.

"It's so earthy! It's so ugly!"

At this point, her previous post had already received dozens of replies.

Vanessa didn't pay attention to it at all, and reopened the post, "Damn penguins!! Go and see Penguin Europe, I'm going crazy!"

Someone immediately replied to him.

Somebody was at a loss, and typed a series of question marks,

[Netizen 1]: "What's the matter? What happened?

And some people, like Vanessa, were lucky or unfortunate to find that penguin communities in other areas can be opened normally and the experience is overwhelming.

[Netizen 2]: Oh, God! Why can Penguin Europe Station and South America Station be opened normally, but North America can't! ?

[Netizen 3]: I just came back from Europe, I just want to say that Microsoft society is garbage! Not to mention, I went to Europe for water stickers.

[Netizen 4]: What are you talking about on the 2nd and 3rd floors? Are penguins popular in Europe?

At around 8:20, the news that Penguin websites in other regions can be used normally has spread on the entire Internet, and Microsoft society is the first to bear the brunt, becoming the center of the spread of news.

One by one, the posts of hurry to the European station, hurry to the South American station, etc. began to swipe, and the real-time traffic of Microsoft society began to fall off a cliff.

However, this is not the end. The first choice of netizens in North America is definitely the European station. A large number of netizens from the United States have poured in. It is called hi to see other European compatriots playing!

Select the photo component of various social circles in schools, neighborhoods, cities, and countries, and discuss the new ways and functions of the Penguin community that they discovered, such as drift bottles.

This is simply a genius way of playing. Suddenly, I received a mysterious bottle from tens of millions of kilometers away, which contained a little secret or a friend message from a strange girl or a strange child.

That mysterious and novel feeling is exciting and addictive,

Many European netizens are discussing this new feature, saying that who and so were lucky enough to receive a drifting bottle, and who and so used up the opportunity to fish for the bottle but did not catch anything.

The American people are greedy. They belong to tourists and can't receive them. Do you think they are angry or not?

Some American netizens couldn't help it, and ran to the European netizens to leave a message, "Why can you log in to the Penguin community, but we have to delay it? It's not fair!"

When European netizens saw it, they were not used to it at all. "The most unbearable thing is the shameless faces of the Americans!"

"Your high-pressure supervision has caused Penguin to not be able to go online normally. How dare you come to us and scream?"

"Go back to your Microsoft community! That's the most popular social networking site for hillbillies.

"The American hillbilly is so pitiful, such a good community, only the United States does not have it in the world!"

"Lovely Reviver made the right decision to keep Americans away from the Penguin community, they don't deserve it!"

American netizens: "…

What the hell, they actually made them arrogant!

Immediately show no weakness and drive back:

"The European pigs that have never been seen in the world!"

"Remind you, the headquarters of Penguin and the headquarters of Sanshi Company are all set up in the United States!

"Strictly speaking, you are enjoying the innovation brought by an American company, where does the confidence come from?

European netizens replied, "Just say the Americans are the most shameless, everything is theirs! ARM is theirs, Samsung is theirs, Sony is theirs, and now Qiyue is theirs,"

"Go back to the United States! The company is Chinese, including the Microsoft community that you boast about, and it is also copied from China!"

Yes, it's up.

While laughing at Americans as hillbillies, the other side insists that the Penguin community is an American company.

On the other side, Bill, Klauger and the others were already stunned,

They also just discovered that the penguin community has only closed the North American station.

Moreover, after looking at websites in other regions, the whole person is not well,

"This bastard! Crazy!!" Klauger was furious.

"Why doesn't he use this website in China!? Is it specifically aimed at us!?"

Bill didn't want to lose his temper with Klauger.

It's not even nine o'clock, and the real-time traffic of the Microsoft community has been cut in half, and the growth rate of registrations has slowed down significantly.

In the forum, almost all the posts are discussing the penguin society.

In fact, all websites and forums in North America are discussing the same topic, which is:

The North American station has not been opened, but Penguins have already shown their strength in Europe, Asia, and South America!

Bill just can't get the real-time data from the Penguins. He wants to know how popular the European station is. As for Ferro...

Ferro suddenly realized another, more serious problem,

Looking at everyone blankly, "We won't be defeated by the penguin community just like that!?"

Subconsciously looked at the watch, nine o'clock.

Three hours before Microsoft goes live.

It's an hour before Penguin goes online! !

After an hour, it seemed that the outcome had been decided.

Oh my god, they became the record-setter who was the fastest to be beaten?

With a bang, Ferro felt the world spinning. He could almost imagine what kind of disaster the newspaper would be tomorrow.

"Microsoft, Intel, Yahoo, CQ Weiqi Parrot Fiasco"?

Or, "Silicon Valley Elites End the Battle in One Hour"?

"Bill!" Ferro was really panicked, "What should we do?"

Bill smiled wryly, "You ask me? Who am I to ask!?"

This is the case before the enterprise community is launched in North America, and it is already the same. He dare not think that when North America is launched, it will be like this.

Moreover, Bill was wondering, how did Qi Lei do it? How they stick together and die.

Oh, it's not really confusing.

In fact, on the surface, Qi Lei's various promotions and exclusive interviews in Seattle during this period are actually not the focus.

The point is, the marketing center of the Penguin community is in Europe! !

At present, the number of employees in Penguin's Seattle headquarters is only a few dozen, but do you know how many promotion salesmen Penguin has recruited in Europe?

A whole thousand people!

Since half a month ago, the team of more than 1,000 people has been active in universities, middle schools, and young people in various European countries.

At the expense of registering in advance to enjoy the q9 Liang account, we collect photos of young people, which are the ones you see when you open the website. And, don't forget, this is not the Europe that was cut off by the American clan in Qi Lei's previous life. This is Europe that has just experienced the ARM incident, and Qi Lei has sympathy.

Qi Lei may have many difficulties in the United States, but in Europe, he can be said to have a green light all the way. Rossi endorsed him, and there was an ARM incident where young people from several major European countries such as Britain, France and Germany were willing to accept it. Reviver's software.

At the same time, they also resent American software.

Otherwise, Qi Lei's first shot is not going to be fired in North America!

If in the U.S., purely emotionally, he is competing with Microsoft, then he has a slight disadvantage.

Then in Europe, he and Microsoft are seven or three! He seven, Microsoft three, you still get a bunch of big guys to unite? Are you still copying your homework?

Play spread, Qi Lei is their ancestor! , as many as you beat your son.

At this time, at the Seattle headquarters, Qi Lei, Xiao Ma, Uncle Geng, Hao Ning, and Zhao Wei were all staying in Qi Lei's office.

At nine o'clock, real-time data from the server was sent downstairs.

When Qi Lei saw it, he was indifferent, \"The overall situation is set!

Throwing the data table on the table, the little brother almost rushed to see it,

"Oh fuck! So many!?\"

The European station has 6.3 million online users and 3.1 million registered users, of which 1 million are P addresses in North America.

Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and South America also have nearly 2 million registrations together.

In one hour, the registration broke five million!

Just ask, who else?

This increase is not only unprecedented, but it is estimated that there will be no newcomers.

The right time and place are suitable for people, and they are indispensable!

Intensive news exposure and the topicality of high-pressure supervision are indispensable.

The combination of Qi Lei's photos on Facebook and his family history, combined with his previous social habits, is indispensable.

"Hahaha!!" Brother Ma was so excited, "What kind of Microsoft community, I just call it social, social, network, network!!

Staring at Qi Lei, "When will we go to North America? Can we go further!

Qi Lei smiled playfully, "Don't worry, bet again!

little brother,

how to say? Qi Lei was playing a psychological gap.

If the North American station and the Microsoft community are launched at the same time, even if they can be welcomed by American netizens, the effect will not be so great.

Because Ferro is right about one point, that is, the Microsoft community has the MS and ICQ diversion that Penguin does not have, plus Microsoft's brand effect, even if the innovation of the Penguin community is good, no matter how good the head is, it will definitely Some people can't give up the two factors of diversion and Microsoft's brand effect.

At that time, even if it can win the competition with the Microsoft community, it will inevitably retain some users for the Microsoft community.

And this part of users may not be many, but it is fatal.

Because, Microsoft can copy! !

He has already copied the penguin community in China, and it's a big deal to copy it again, what does it matter?

Moreover, they have three behind-the-scenes teams of Microsoft, Yahoo, and CQ, and it's not too easy to replicate your model.

At that time, he will become exactly the same as the Penguin community~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In addition, with the support of retained users, and the existing diversion ability and brand effect,

It is something that penguins cannot possess in a short period of time.

Who wins and who loses, I really can't tell.

Well now, it can be used all over the world, but not in North America, and can only be envious. This psychological gap will make netizens have great negative emotions towards the Microsoft community.

When the North American station goes online, there will not be too many retained users.

Even if it was a copy, Qi Lei still had a chance of winning and said to Brother Ma, "Don't worry, it won't be a few days. We'll go online as soon as Washington lets go!"

At that time, even if we can't wash away Microsoft's users, we will not be afraid. "

"Washington?" Little Marco frowned, "what does this have to do with Washington?"

Qi Lei, "The relationship is big!\"

In business, you can't always stare at your opponents, or like that, you have to watch the game.

Brother Xiao Ma, "What's the matter? Do you expect public opinion to take advantage of the anger of the North American station not being able to go online to put pressure on Washington?"

Qi Lei, "What pressure? It doesn't make much sense,

Little Brother, "What's the matter with Washington?"

Qi Lei, when you are of little use to him, or even counterproductive, it will suppress you,"

"However, when you suddenly become useful and can almost lead young voters, he will communicate with you in a different manner,

Little Brother,"

It seems, a little self-conscious,
