Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

This is a Level 6 dog bought by Coca-Cola. The purpose of buying a dog is not that Coca-Cola also likes to steal food.

Although many people in their company like to steal food.

But more importantly, the purpose of buying a level 6 dog is to advertise.

"I'm stupid, there is still such an operation."

"$100 million for Coca-Cola to do a world-class ad."

"I want to say, Coca-Cola, well done."

100 million US dollars to make a sensation in North America, no, a sensational advertisement in a series of countries in Europe and America, just ask if it is worth it?

Needless to say, compared with those rigid advertisements, the effect of this wave of borrowing a pet dog to be on the list is simply several times better.

It is said that when Coca-Cola reached the top that day, many users on Facebook wanted to buy a bottle of Coca-Cola.

Sipping a Coke and checking out Facebook, this looks like a match.

Of course, this is commercial in nature.

Generally, ordinary users spend $5 to buy a level 10 dog, which is pretty awesome.

For many ordinary people, this is already considered a local tyrant.

What will you do to the local tyrants?

Maybe sometimes many people will hate local tyrants, just like hating the rich second generation.

But this is not true.

If you find out that the person around you is a rich man, many people will make friends with the rich man.

Of course, also because of the joining of these local tyrants, this has further stimulated the popularity of stealing food.

Whether it is to make friends with local tyrants, to watch local tyrants, or for other purposes, the fire of stealing food is even higher than before.

……

"Vicky, let's adjust the settings of our prop dog immediately."

When he discovered this, Zach immediately said to his classmates.

Before that, he thought it was a good setting for prop dogs to start at $1 and not exceed $100.

But compared with friends' stealing food, their Facebook's Facebook farm is simply crushed.

At the beginning, many Facebook users still felt that Facebook Farm had some ideas, and many people were playing Facebook Farm.

But when they saw that the dogs in the Facebook farm cost only $1, they lost interest at all.

You know, buying a prop dog is not just for interaction, it is also a part of social interaction.

It's like wearing what clothes and driving what car to go out with.

Being on the social network itself represents you. If you bring such a cheap dog, you will be embarrassed.

However, what Zach didn't know was that it was fine if he didn't change the settings, but if he changed the settings, the Facebook farm suffered a catastrophe.

The reason is also very simple.

The prop dogs on Facebook Farm are as expensive as the food stolen from Friends.com, why not buy props dogs from Friends Network to steal vegetables?

There are more users, more players, more friends in your own circle.

It is normal to buy a few slightly advanced dogs in your social circle of friends.

On the contrary, it seems a bit silly to spend more money in the Facebook farm.

"Hey, I thought Facebook Farm was a bit innovative, and I wanted to play for a while, but now it seems, forget it."

"It's really plagiarizing Friends.com every day. I don't have a little opinion of my own. Bad reviews."

"Youngyou level 1 dog is so dark, and Facebook is so dark. Since they are all so dark, then I will go to Youyou..."

The Internet has always been a game of the strong.

Not to mention such a highly social website.

Originally, Facebook was far inferior to Friends.com, but with the support of Yahoo, it can still hold on.

But no one thought of it.

The facebook farm, which seemed so innovative, collapsed in an instant...

A series of Facebook farm users can basically be said to flow into Moments.

Chapter 764: The North American Internet market is nothing more than that

"Students, today let's talk about why stealing food is so popular?"

"Of course, since we've talked about Stealing Vegetables, we have to talk about the prop dog settings recently launched in the Stealing Vegetables game. Before we talk, I'll do a survey first. Students, please raise your hand if you bought a prop dog?"

Harvard University, computer professor Harry is giving lectures to students.

After he finished speaking, almost 90% of the students in the class raised their hands.

At $1 for a Level 10 prop dog, any student can afford it.

"It seems that Friends.com is really powerful. In fact, I also bought a prop dog. So, please raise your hand if you bought a level 2 dog?"

At this time, half of the people in the class raised their hands.

Harry nodded, and once again lamented that Youyou.com was accurate with users' psychology.

This group of students didn't have much money, but there were still quite a few people who bought level 2 dogs.

"Then, if you bought a level 3 dog, please raise your hand."

At this time, there were only a few people in the class.

However, when they raised their hands, everyone was a little jealous.

A Level 3 dog only costs $1000. Although they are willing to buy it and want to buy it, they really don't have the money.

However, Professor Harry asked again: "If you bought a level 4 dog, please raise your hand."

At this time, only two people in the class raised their hands.

"Wow."

At this moment, there was an instant commotion in the classroom.

$4 for a Level 1 dog, which is really not something ordinary students can afford.

However, Harry continued to ask: "If you bought a level 5 dog, please raise your hand."

At this time, only one raised his hand.

Everything came without any accident, and this classmate became the focus of the whole class.

"Hehe, classmate, let's make friends."

Professor Harry made a joke.

However, although there are few students who can spend 10 US dollars, it is not impossible.

Just like on the Internet, you can see many local tyrants.

"Let's look at Friends Network again. We have already analyzed before that the foundation of social networks is the theory of six degrees of separation. In other words, we only need to pass 6 people, and we can know all the people in the world. In reality, The theory of six degrees of separation is difficult to verify, because we do not have this condition in reality. But on the Internet, everything has changed."

"From the food stealing game on Friends.com, we can see that friends of friends, you can have an intersection with them. Of course, this is the same as the prop dog that is popular in stealing food recently. This is also an important embodiment of the six-degree separation theory. .In the real world, it is difficult for us to know those rich people. But by stealing food, we are fully qualified to know those billionaires."

"It is precisely because of the classic theory of the six degrees of separation that our social network can spread so fast. Of course, it is also precisely because the six degrees of separation is established in the real world that social networking platforms such as Friends.com are much faster than the general Internet. The platform is even more attractive…”

Professor Harry continued to explain the theoretical basis of Friends.net to the students.

Of course, he still has some regrets.

There was a student from Harvard University who was doing social networking, and it was very successful at that time.

Unfortunately, after the emergence of Friends.com, this website is already in jeopardy.

Still, that's not what he wants to think about, is it?

……

"Mr. Chen, we stole food and sold the fifth level 5 dog."

"Oh, are they all advertising?"

"Not all of them, there is one who is a real local tyrant."

Wang Chang excitedly reported to Chen Yu.

Before, she felt that Chen Yu was crazy about money, but looking at it now, she didn't know enough.

No, a local tyrant bought a level 6 dog.

Or you want to ask why this local tyrant bought it?

no why?

I'm rich, I just want to buy, I just want to show off my wealth, what's wrong?

Of course, how many prop dogs are sold is not the most important thing, although it is also very profitable.

But what Friends.com really cares about is IP data.

Facts did not disappoint Chen Yu, the number of IP visits to Friends.com broke a new record again that month.

At the same time, their competitor Facebook, IP visits suddenly plummeted by 20%.

This is still under the support of Yahoo.

Without Yahoo's backing, this wave of operations could have caused them to fall by 30%.

This also strengthened Chen Yu's confidence on the other hand.

The North American market may not be so complicated. In fact, the North American Internet is the same as the domestic Internet.

Even, sometimes the domestic Internet is more competitive than the North American Internet.

In the past, many Internet companies in China did not have the opportunity to enter the North American Internet, let alone the world.

But now, anything is possible.

Thinking about future generations, in fact, there are many domestic companies that are very creative, even if they are placed abroad, they are still very competitive.

Like ByteDance's Douyin, although he has some criticisms, the product is really good.

There is also the browser company Cheetah.

These have a large overseas market in later generations.

Now it is 2005, in North America, Chen Yu has too many opportunities overseas.

For this reason, Chen Yu thought about it for a while.

Take the North American market, the largest and most important overseas market, as an example.

The most important Internet companies in the North American market include Yahoo, Google, America Online, YouTube, Amazon, and eBay.

But if you really want to say it, Yahoo will kill itself in the future, and in the end it will only have a market value of several billion dollars.

As for America Online, you can tell from the name that it is a local portal website, and it has something like Sina.

The video website YouTube is not bad, but its strength is also average.

The more powerful ones are Amazon and Google.

However, whether it is Amazon or Google, Chen Yu has a network of friends.

As long as he expands the friend network, the international e-commerce market and the search market, he can completely overwhelm it with an army of tanks.

Of course, there is also an instant messaging market in it.

Currently North American users are using MSN and oicq for instant messaging.

But in fact, both msn and oicq will be surpassed by latecomers in North America.

As soon as the mobile Internet appeared, almost all of these things died.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu suddenly felt that these North American Internet giants did not seem to be very powerful.

Competing with them, Chen Yu feels that they are relatively late with domestic Sina.
