Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 373 Potential Hidden Dangers
At the headquarters of Wenxue Network Company, as soon as Zhou Dongsheng walked into the company's gate, Yang Luyu had been waiting for him with a smile on his face and came up to greet him.
"I was wondering why there were magpies chirping so early this morning. It turns out that Mr. Zhou has come to visit us. It really brings honor to our Wenxue Network."
Listening to Yang Luyu's exaggerated flattery, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but laugh. "Boss Yang is in such a good mood and even has the time to joke. It seems that the company's development has been stable and improving recently."
"This is all thanks to the support of Mr. Zhou, the noble man. Not only did you provide a large sum of money, but you also lent a hand when Muse was expanding into the domestic market. It really helped us a lot!"
Yang Luyu was in high spirits and did not hesitate to flatter him. After all, only making the financial sponsor happy could the company's future development be better, right?
From this point of view, Yang Luyu is obviously a qualified company founder.
"Okay, if Mr. Yang keeps praising me, I'm afraid I'll lose myself. Let's go inside the company and talk about it, and learn about the company's recent developments."
Zhou Dongsheng was used to flattering others , and he felt particularly comfortable when he was flattered occasionally, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Look at my memory. I was so excited that I forgot the business. Mr. Zhou, please come in. I know that Mr. Zhou likes to drink tea, so I specially asked someone to prepare some high-quality tea. I don't know if it is authentic..."
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but sigh at the fawning attitude. It turned out that there are always people better than you. I thought I was already a master at flattery, but I didn't expect that there is such a powerful general as Yang Luyu in the world!
The group came to Yang Luyu's office and sat down. His subordinates brewed three cups of tea and brought them up . The way of brewing tea alone was enough to make people laugh.
Fortunately, Zhou Dongsheng was not a picky person. He took a sip and praised the tea, “Good tea!” Even if he let it go, after all, we were not here to taste tea today.
Yang Luyu naturally knew that Zhou Dongsheng's real intention was not to visit him, so he took a sip of tea and started talking about the recent development of the company.
"Muse has been online in China for nearly a month now and has made gratifying progress. The number of registered users has exceeded 2 million and is still rising steadily."
"At present, the vast majority of users in the market have a good response to the novel experience of music short videos like Muse. Driven by our 'double chin challenge', it has stimulated the desire of many users to create. Currently, there are more than 100,000 short video contents on the platform..."
As the helmsman of Wenxue Network, I pay attention to the company's data growth and changes every day and keep them in mind to further formulate the company's strategy.
Therefore, when it comes to these issues, Yang Luyu can handle them with ease.
"Compared with the steady development of the domestic market, our products are developing more rapidly in overseas markets. Not long ago, we have exceeded 10 million users, and even the number of daily active users has steadily reached more than one million!"
"Currently in the overseas market, short video social networking has become a new trend and the preferred social community for countless young people. With the solid foundation rooted in the young group, maybe we can replicate Facebook's social route..."
Compared with the current lukewarm development in the domestic market, Yang Luyu is obviously more proud when it comes to the rapid expansion in overseas markets.
In this regard, Zhou Dongsheng nodded in agreement. Whether in the past or present life, Wenxue Network's musical.ly has become a unique existence that ranks among the top in the field of overseas music short videos.
Otherwise, Toutiao would not have used this as a template to replicate an almost identical version, quickly occupy the domestic market, and then counterattack the overseas market, spending 1 billion US dollars to acquire it and create an overseas version of TikTok.
The successful experiences of the pioneers always guide the followers to imitate them. After all, imitation, the lowest-cost way of progress, is a behavior that is completely engraved in our genes.
Imitate, then surpass, and become the winner who survives to the end. The process is naturally not important, after all, history books are written by the victors.
This truth has already been proven countless times in the process of the continuous progress and changes of the Internet, whether it is Tenda or Facebook mentioned by Yang Luyu.
However, when it comes to facial makeup, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but feel moved. Looking at Yang Luyu's high spirits, it was obvious that he still had the idea of focusing on the overseas market.
On this point, it is obviously not something that can be easily changed by the pie that Zhou Dongsheng had painted in a few words before. After all, people always tend to stay in their comfort zone.
Wenxue Network has taken a different approach and found a way to survive in overseas markets, building up a huge advantage. The simplest and most effective way for it to continue to develop is to continue to explore overseas markets and expand its advantages.
Instead of turning around and changing the focus, the company directly changed its strategy, betting everything on the domestic market and reopening its territory in areas where it was not good at.
Such high-risk behavior is no less than starting a business again, so it is understandable that Yang Luyu still focuses on the overseas market.
However, when Yang Luyu mentioned benchmarking Facebook and replicating other people's social routes, Zhou Dongsheng suddenly thought of a key point that had to be mentioned.
That is...on someone else's territory, once you develop to a certain level, you will inevitably hit an invisible ceiling!
The future Wenxue Network is obviously not qualified, but after acquiring Wenxue Network, overseas Tik Tok has hit this ceiling head-on!
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng smiled brightly and praised him generously, "Mr. Yang's words also touched my heart. I have no doubt that music short videos can become a new social trend."
“In the eyes of others, it may be too ambitious to compete with Facebook, but in my opinion, music short videos have the potential to become a global hit!”
"After all, the rise of every giant started from humble beginnings, and those creative ideas that could change the world were just wild ideas at first. Maybe we will be the next one, but..."
Hearing Zhou Dongsheng's words of approval, Yang Luyu's face was also filled with a proud smile. When Zhou Dongsheng changed the subject, Yang Luyu could not help but be led in, "But what?"
"But when I heard about Mr. Yang's ambition to compete with Facebook, I thought of a huge hidden danger that I had to mention. Although according to our current strength, it is definitely difficult to deal with it in the short term..."
"But if we really do this, this huge hidden danger will inevitably bring disaster to our business."
Listening to Zhou Dongsheng's alarmist words, Yang Luyu couldn't help but be moved, and asked nervously: "What hidden danger is it that makes Mr. Zhou so serious? I'm all ears."
