Tina Gates then made a takeover offer to Page Game Workshop on behalf of Facebook, proposing to acquire the other party wholly for $30 million.
Unexpectedly, this acquisition was unusually easy, but the other party said that Page Game Workshop has the right to independently develop the game.
So, within three days, Facebook completed the acquisition of Page Game Workshop.
On the fourth day, Facebook and Page Tour Workshop jointly held a press conference.
This time, William, Tina and the CEO of Page Game Workshop all appeared at the press conference. This is William and Tina's media debut as founders of Facebook Inc.
In William's view, Facebook has succeeded, and he has proven himself to be in front of the media. At this point, people only pay attention to Facebook, and no one pays attention to the FaceToFace website anymore.
On the morning of June 5, it was like a wash.
The entrance to Facebook's corporate headquarters is buzzing with activity.
When William and Tina appeared at the press conference, everyone was surprised.
Everyone was stunned when William stepped onto the stage to introduce himself as the founder of Facebook.
"Chronos Li's son turned out to be the founder of Facebook????"
"Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog son!"
At this moment, the flashlights kept flashing under the stage, William smiled slightly, faced the camera, and said loudly: "Welcome to the press conference of Facebook, today I will announce two things, the first thing is that Facebook reprimands Huge sum of 30 million US dollars to fully acquire the game development company of "Happy Farm", Page Game Workshop!"
As soon as the voice fell, there was an uproar from the audience. Obviously, everyone was very surprised at Facebook's acquisition of the Page Game Workshop, but at the same time they understood that the popularity of "Happy Farm" was very helpful to Facebook.
William continued: "Everyone please be quiet, the second thing I want to say is that starting today, Facebook no longer restricts whether registered users are college or high school students. Facebook will be open to netizens around the world!!!"
This news is even more shocking than the previous news.
There are many people in the audience who are engaged in the Internet industry, and they know very well what it means to develop Facebook to global netizens! This means that Facebook's users will explode, and Facebook will become one of the Internet giants!
…
…
Immediately after Facebook's conference, the content of the conference went viral on Weibo and Facebook.
Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of netizens began to register for Facebook accounts.
Celebrities have already felt the benefits of the Internet on Weibo before, and now there is a super popular SNS social networking site, these celebrities are naturally scrambling to join.
"Happy Farm" is one of Facebook's most popular products, and celebrities have started to play "Happy Farm" one after another.
Zhou Xingchi: "There used to be a place where ripe dishes were placed in front of me and I didn't pick them up. I didn't regret it until it was stolen. The most painful thing in the world is this. If God can give me another chance, I will. Say three words to the vegetable thief: 'Go to hell!'"
Jay Chou: "Oh, not bad, I stole a lot!"
…
Fans were surprised to see so many stars enjoying themselves.
"Let me go, the stars really know how to play!!!"
"Hehe, I'm going to steal their food at night!"
…
At this moment, Mark Zuckerberg was very sad and helpless. When he started his business, he met Chronos Li's son, and he was unlucky! The failure of FaceToFace is not a crime of war, but the competition is too strong!
"Zuckerberg, FaceToFace may not be able to operate anymore, think about transformation!" After a while, an executive director of Defengjie called and said.
"Transformation? How to transform?" Mark Zuckerberg was bitter.
But right now, it seems that there is only one way to go for transformation, otherwise, if it continues like this, FaceToFace will definitely go bankrupt!
After thinking about it all night, Mark Zuckerberg still didn't come up with any good ideas. He turned on the computer and browsed the news boringly, trying to find some inspiration.
"Skype VoIP?!"
Suddenly, Mark Zuckerberg came up with an idea, his eyes flashed strangely, and he murmured: "Maybe this idea can work!!! FaceToFace can be transformed into a video voice VoIP software, with the IM requirements. functions, such as video chat, multi-person voice conference, multi-person chat, file transfer, text chat, etc. It can also have high-definition voice conversations with other users, and can also make domestic and international calls, regardless of landlines or mobile phones. Dial, and can realize call forwarding, SMS sending and other functions!!!"
Mark Zuckerberg was immediately excited, and quickly called Norman Virginia, CEO of Defenger.
"Oh, damn, it's only 4:1 a.m., Mark Zuckerberg, you better have good news to tell me!" Norman Virginia cursed, the failure of FaceToFace, Norman Virginia will be more than half The blame is all on Mark Zuckerberg, and he is very unhappy with him.
Mark Zuckerberg doesn't care about Norman Virginia's attitude, as long as Defenger keeps investing in FaceToFace.
"Mr. Virginia, I think about how FaceToFace should transform!"
When Norman Virginia heard this, he was shocked and half drowsy, and quickly asked, "How to transform?!"
"FaceToFace can be transformed into a video voice VoIP software..." Mark Zuckerberg immediately began to introduce the development direction of the transformation to Norman Virginia in detail.
After listening to it, Norman Virginia pondered for a while, and finally said, "Okay! Then I'll give you another chance, and I will convince the DFJ Board of Directors to continue to support FaceToFace!"
Mark Zuckerberg was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Virginia, then I'll hang up and not disturb your sleep and rest!"
"Um."
…
Li Zetian did not know that FaceToFace had decided to transform into a product similar to Skype, which would make Li Zetian very depressed. As FCC Chairman Michael Powell said, "When I downloaded Skype, I realized that the era of traditional communications is over, you can use it to talk to anyone for free, and the quality of the call is excellent, the era of traditional communications is over. The end. The world will inevitably change.”
And Li Zetian's Sprint Telecom Company is the representative of the "traditional communication era", making money by charging calls!
But in any case, Internet telephony is the general trend. In the future, many people will use traffic to send voice and video, causing countless telecom companies to decline in revenue and suffer heavy losses. Sprint can only adapt to the development of the times and make adjustments.
The duel between Facebook and FaceToFace is basically settled, and Li Zetian is also relieved a lot. After all, Facebook is still very important.
At the end of this month, "World of Warcraft" was officially released in China.
Ma Huateng called to tell Li Zetian, but at the same time there was bad news.
