Bill Gates has been trying his best to hear every note from Li Mu's mouth.
But unfortunately, in the Chinese that Li Mu spoke, he could really understand only one word - "Microsoft".
Except for the name of his company, Bill Gates could not understand any other Chinese words spoken by Li Mu, so he had no idea what Li Mu was telling Li Ziwei. However, there were a few English words that he accurately captured, such as YYtunes, like Twitter.
So here’s the question. I heard three keywords clearly: Microsoft, YYtunes, and Twitter.
Needless to say, Microsoft is its own company. Needless to say, YYtunes is Makino Technology’s online music listening and purchasing platform that became popular in developed countries such as Europe and the United States some time ago. It is also a global community with music as its core. Bill Gates himself is a user of YYtunes.
The only thing that Bill Gates can't figure out is the mysterious code name - Twitter.
I have long heard that Makino Technology has established a Twitter division, but I don’t know what products this division is developing. Li Mu just said that he will release a new product today to "encourage" himself, and now he mentioned it to Li Ziwei. When it comes to his own company and this Twitter, then it is very likely that the product he will launch tonight is Twitter.
But, what is the relationship between Twitter and YYtunes
Are Twitter and YYtunes similar or complementary to each other
When thinking of this, Bill Gates breathed a sigh of relief. If it is a product similar to YYtunes, or a product that can complement YYtunes, then it is basically certain that the pattern of this product will not be very big.
In contrast, our own MSN ecosystem and the new Blog concept are very large. Especially Blog, from concept to model to product development, are all things that Makino Technology does not have. Once launched, Makino will immediately The technological blogs are overwhelming and will also set off a new blog trend.
So the only thing Bill Gates is worried about now is that Li Mu's Twitter is also a blog product. As for other things, he is not worried at all.
…
While Li Mu was still enjoying the sumptuous dinner provided by the Goldberg family, Lin Qingya received a call from Li Ziwei.
Three minutes later, she hung up the phone, and the first thing she did was to summon all the core managers of Makino Technology's North American branch to conduct a video conference with the management of the Yanjing headquarters.
The development and internal testing of Twitter have long been completed. The reason why it has not been launched is because Li Mu is waiting for Microsoft's MSN to be reborn. Once Microsoft's MSN makes a comeback, Makino Technology will release Twitter and push it with all its strength, so that it can quickly spread around the world. A trend formed within the company, directly reducing MSN's attention to freezing point.
Li Mu feels that the biggest blow to MSN is not that it will be disgusted or rejected by users after it goes online, but that it will be forgotten by users immediately after it goes online.
So, she began to assign tasks according to Li Mu's request. The person in charge of North America contacted the top 100 European and American singers on YYtunes and told them that Makino Technology was about to launch a new publicity platform, and asked them to provide simple information and prepare to submit to Twitter. User says hello.
The information is very simple, just a login account, a photo for avatar, and a personal introduction.
The way to say hello is also very simple. Everyone can handwrite a sign saying "I am so-and-so, I'm waiting for you on Twitter!", put it on the chest, take a photo and send it to the YYtunes staff.
At that time, Makino Technology officials will open official Twitter accounts for them, set initial passwords, fill in their own personal introductions, and make avatars based on the photos they sent. At the same time, they will use their accounts to post their first Twitter message. .
Since YYtunes became the world's largest online music sales platform, record companies, singers, and bands in Europe and the United States have all sharpened their heads to delve into YYtunes, because YYtunes is not only a music listening platform with huge traffic, but also a digital music platform. As a sales platform, putting music on the shelves of YYtunes is equivalent to adding a revenue-generating channel. Moreover, if you have the opportunity to obtain the resources of YYtunes, you will achieve both fame and fortune.
Moreover, due to the huge number of YYtunes users, the current YYtunes charts have become the most authoritative rankings in the music industry. Every singer hopes to be at the top of the YYtunes charts.
It is precisely because YYtunes has such a great influence on the music industry that these singers are very cooperative with YYtunes and Makino Technology.
Producers and managers who are very famous in the music circle are constantly around YYtunes every day. Today they want to get a recommendation resource for a certain singer in their hands, and tomorrow they want to get a recommendation resource for a certain singer of their own. The songs are submitted to a recommended feature of YYtunes, and they even constantly strive for YYtunes to conduct exclusive interviews with their artists. Every resource provided by YYtunes can successfully convert a group of new fans for the singer and a new generation of fans. A new sales volume, while simultaneously increasing the singer's fame and worth.
Under this premise, when these top-ranked singer managers heard that Makino Technology was going to launch a new media platform and invited their artists to be the first batch to join in advance, each of them was very excited and said on the spot Must cooperate fully.
Then, these managers began to communicate with their singers. Some of these singers were recording, some were rehearsing, some were catching up with announcements, or were preparing for performances or vacations overseas. But at this moment, without exception, they all stopped. After finishing the matter at hand, I began to prepare materials according to the requirements of Makino Technology.
Photos and personal profiles suitable for avatars are easy to get, and managers have them in their hands. What singers need to cooperate with is to quickly follow the requirements of Makino Technology and take a photo of themselves holding a welcome message.
Although camera phones are not yet popular enough today, and the pixels and image quality are also inferior, fortunately, these singers are almost always surrounded by photographers, so they immediately start preparing a welcome message, and then look for the most beautiful scenes around them to take photos.
When these photos and information were being sorted out and submitted to Makino Technology, the entertainment industry in China, far away on the other side of the world, became even more lively.
Makino Technology has a great influence in the European and American music circles, but its influence in the Chinese entertainment circle is even greater.
When stars in the Chinese entertainment industry emerged from Tieba, they knew the huge power of Makino Technology. Every star looked forward to the opportunity to cooperate in depth with Makino Technology, and now, the opportunity has come.
Although it is still early in the morning for Huaxia, the public relations team at the Makino Technology headquarters has contacted hundreds of agents and brokerage companies of hundreds of Chinese and Chinese artists in a short period of time, and has launched the new platform of Makino Technology to invite the first batch of stars. The other party is informed of the settlement situation. If the other party is interested in participating in the first batch of settlement activities, then the required information must be submitted before five o'clock in the morning.
At 6 a.m. Beijing time, which is 6 p.m. the day before New York time and 11 p.m. London time, Twitter (Weibo) will go online simultaneously around the world.
The reason why we did not contact the stars from the East and the West a few days in advance to ask them to cooperate as soon as possible was mainly to keep the product confidential. Now we will select a small number of elite singers and stars to participate. After Twitter is officially launched today and creates influence, tomorrow, When everyone is paying attention to Twitter, Makino Technology will officially send out invitations to Twitter to all record companies, film companies, well-known actors, and celebrities, companies, and institutions from all walks of life. He will use his strong influence to quickly Twitter has become a social platform with a huge number of users and traffic.
Such an intensive and all-round star entry plan is to achieve as much coverage as possible for netizens. If it goes well, in the next two days, almost all netizens will find that their favorite singer or celebrity has already joined Twitter, and they have it. The opportunity to communicate openly with them on the Internet will quickly attract them to Twitter.
Moreover, in order to allow users to start socializing on Twitter as soon as possible, Li Mu instructed the Twitter team to promote the interface for users to log in using YY. In this way, as long as users log in with their YY number, they can see which of their friends have opened Twitter. If you are interested, , you can follow him, or go directly to his Twitter homepage to seek answers, which will be very convenient for users to get started and adapt.
Once Twitter becomes popular, Microsoft will lose all attention. If a new product is launched without popularity, it will basically be a dead end.
…
Seattle, USA at this time.
Everyone at Microsoft is making final preparations for the launch of the MSN ecosystem.
Since MSN was shut down by YY, Microsoft has been working tirelessly and making huge efforts to achieve a great success for the new MSN and its ecological chain, gradually taking away social users from YY, and allowing Microsoft to achieve diversification. The dream of development.
At this time, Vice President Pete, who was sitting in his hometown, had just received a piece of news that made him panic.
One of his public relations managers told him that currently, the top 100 singers on the YYtunes European and American Music Chart are taking flat photos for Makino Technology, preparing to enter the new platform that Makino Technology is about to launch.
As soon as he heard that Makino Technology was going to launch a new platform today, Peter couldn't sit still. He asked: "What is the name of the new platform that Makino Technology is going to launch this time? What type is it?"
The public relations manager said: "This is still unclear. Makino Technology is still keeping it secret for the time being. These celebrities themselves don't know."
"Damn it..." Pete suddenly felt something bad and said, "Makino Technology's new platform is not available sooner or later, but it has chosen this juncture. Ninety-nine percent of it is going to go against us..."
The public relations manager nodded and said: "The combined influence of these one hundred people is very large. Each of them has more than 10 million fans around the world. Without repeated calculations, the number of fans covered will exceed 10 billion. , if we eliminate the weight, we can basically catch all the people in Europe and America who like music and are good at surfing the Internet!"
Peter was panicking. The combined influence of a hundred celebrities like this is indeed too great. I have never heard of any Internet platform that can have so many celebrity platforms when it is launched. If Li Mu does this, he will definitely create an earth-shattering big one. News, big news with so many celebrities, attracts the attention of netizens greatly, which will have a huge impact on Microsoft's new ecological release!
"Quick, call the chairman!"
