Chapter 335: European and American hits, 6 million, 1.2 billion US dollars! The new king of the Chinese Internet!
When Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was 20 years old, he was still an ordinary college student.
When Buffett was 20 years old, he didn't even have 10,000 US dollars in his pocket.
When Microsoft's Bill Gates was 20 years old, he had just sold the timetable system he wrote, and his net worth was at most tens of thousands of US dollars.
Even Zuckerberg, who is regarded as a business genius in North America, only successfully operated and listed Facebook at the age of 28. With a 28.4% stake, he became a super-rich man with a net worth of nearly 30 billion US dollars.
But nowadays, there are people who can own three super unicorn companies (valued at over 10 billion US dollars) and three unicorn companies (valued at over 1 billion US dollars) at the age of 20, and their personal book wealth is as high as 50 billion US dollars.
At first, netizens in the Beacon Country thought it was fake news, but after learning more about it, they fell silent.
After all, the Alexa smart speaker they use comes from Orange Technology, which is extremely popular in the European and American markets and cannot be faked.
After Time magazine noticed this hot news, it thought for a moment and immediately assigned staff from its Shanghai branch to go to Xucheng to interview Chen Yansen.
In addition, related reports will be published and distributed in the American edition of Time magazine, directly targeting North American users.
You should know that in the past, Chinese entrepreneurs, sports celebrities or international movie stars mostly appeared in the Asian version of Time magazine, and their international influence was not strong.
At this time, a clever guy suddenly appeared, pulled down all of Chen Yansen’s Weibo photos, registered an account on Facebook, and posted an update in his name.
"Hello! Friends from the Lighthouse Country, I am Chen Yansen, the founder of Senlian Capital. Nice to meet you all. On October 31st, I will draw 1,000 spots from my fans and give each of them an Alexa smart speaker."
In addition to the greetings, several high-definition personal photos of Chen Yansen were also uploaded.
In an instant, it was like a huge rock smashing into a calm lake! The number of fans of Chen Yansen's Facebook increased by 1,000 to 2,000 per minute, and at the end of the day, it reached 1.9 million.
In fact, in order to connect with the North American sales channels of the Alexa smart speaker, Zhou Shouzhi set up an office in San Francisco. After local employees verified with the headquarters, they soon received a negative response.
When the news reached Zhou Shouzhi, he didn't think much about it and asked his colleagues in the Lighthouse Country to send a notification letter to Facebook's customer service.
The next morning, when netizens in North America woke up, they found that 'Chen Yansen' had been blocked.
The official reason given was that the user illegally used other people's information.
The implication is that this 'Chen Yansen' is a fake.
But a large group of netizens were still waiting for the lucky draw on Halloween. Now that the free smart speakers are gone, they immediately pointed the finger at the founder of Facebook.
"When Zuckerberg was 28 years old, he only had over 20 billion US dollars, which is far less than Chen Yansen. Could it be that he was jealous and blocked the other party's account?"
Such an outrageous reason is totally untenable, but the people in the Lighthouse Country have different thinking processes. They made up their own stories and "confirmed" this speculation.
Although some netizens said that Zuckerberg did not need to ban Chen Yansen's account, no one paid attention.
Even when Zuckerberg was attending an event, some media rushed up to ask, "Mr. Zuckerberg, did you instruct the Facebook account of the founder of Sunlink Capital to be blocked?"
Zuckerberg was completely confused and had no idea what was going on. After his assistant explained, he came to his senses and said with a smile: "The account used someone else's private information. Facebook has always attached great importance to protecting user information, so after discovering it, we immediately blocked the account."
He did not mention the letter sent by Senlian Capital, but just advertised his own products.
Although this is true, netizens in the Beacon Country still refuse to buy it and insist on putting the blame on Zuckerberg.
The other side.
When Ye Qiuping received the call from Time Magazine, she was stunned at first, and then a look of joy appeared on her face.
In her opinion, the more popular Chen Yansen is, the more beneficial it will be for Orange Mobile to open up the markets in Eastern Europe, Western Europe and North America.
Thinking of this, she immediately took the elevator to Chen Yansen's office door and knocked on the door.
The vast majority of ordinary people have a desire to admire the strong, including those people in China who chase after the fake account of 'Chen Yansen' and lick his boots, and Ye Qiuping is no exception.
The more capable Chen Yansen became, the more obsessed she became with him.
"Come in!"
A familiar and deep voice came from the room.
Ye Qiuping then turned the doorknob, pushed the door open and walked in, saying as she walked, "Boss, Time Magazine wants to do an in-depth interview with you."
"Asian version?" Chen Yansen raised his head, leaned back in his chair, and asked in desperation.
"American version." Ye Qiuping smiled lightly and looked at Chen Yansen with burning eyes, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.
"Zhou Shouzhi just called me and said that someone in the Lighthouse Country used my information to register an account on Facebook. Judging from the communication effect, it is quite good. We should indeed set up a self-media publicity matrix on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram before entering the North American mobile phone market. You should be responsible for it."
Chen Yansen frowned slightly and gave the order directly.
"Okay, boss. The people from Time Magazine are on their way and are expected to arrive at the company at 3pm."
Ye Qiuping reminded softly.
"I see. Isn't the studio on the first floor still there? It's a good opportunity to reuse it."
Chen Yansen nodded slightly.
The reason why he accepted the interview with Time magazine was not to show off, but just to pave the way for Alexa smart speaker and Orange phone.
Free traffic resources, don't miss it! "Okay, I understand." Ye Qiuping smiled lightly and took the initiative to leave the office.
Afterwards, he returned to the brand department and registered accounts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in the name of Chen Yansen. He also announced in a malicious way that he would join forces with Amazon, eBay and Walmart online stores to draw 5,000 Alexa smart speakers for fans of each of the three platforms as a benefit for paying attention to users.
The draw time is 8pm on Halloween, October 31st, which is the same as the draw time of the previous counterfeit.
Netizens in the Lighthouse Country thought it was another impostor, but after they saw that Chen Yansen had registered accounts on the three major platforms, they followed him with some doubt.
It wasn't until someone consulted Twitter customer service and received a positive response that they no longer had any doubts.
Logically speaking, Orange Technology only has one smart speaker product in Europe and the United States, with a total sales volume of only 4 million units. As the boss of the company, Chen Yansen cannot attract too many fans even if he has a certain popularity.
But the fake 'Chen Yansen', relying on 1,000 Alexa smart speakers, was able to increase his sales by 1.9 million in one day, not to mention the 5,000 prizes.
In less than 24 hours, Chen Yansen's cumulative number of followers on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram reached 7.4 million.
What is unexpected is that the amount of attention attracted by the prize is not much, and more than 70% of netizens are curious about his entrepreneurial experience.
Because before this, when the YouTube blogger introduced his resume, he told netizens very clearly that this Asian billionaire was born in a remote small city in China, his father was a bookstore owner, and the school he attended was only one level better than the community college in the Beacon Country.
To sum up, with no money, no education, and no background, he turned his life around in just two years.
It gives people the illusion that I can do it! The people of Lighthouse Country worship the strong, and they worship the strong who started from scratch even more.
The next day, Chen Yansen's number of overseas fans exceeded 10 million. With the existence of the lucky draw, the number of fans increased by two to three million every day.
Monday, October 29th.
Chen Yansen's personal portrait appeared on the cover of the American edition of Time magazine. From a front angle, he was sitting upright on a chair, perfectly showing his angular facial features.
He has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a bright and deep look, and an extremely aggressive expression on his face.
The title is: The New King of Hua's Internet Industry, which means the new king of China's Internet.
With the traffic support of Time magazine, as of October 30, the number of fans on Facebook was 10.7 million, Twitter was 7.4 million, and Instagram was 3.1 million. Without deduplication, the total number of overseas fans exceeded 20 million.
Before the results were announced, sales of Alexa smart speakers in the European and American markets continued to rise, reaching a peak on October 30, with daily sales of up to 300,000 units.
The stocks on Amazon, eBay and Wal-Mart's online store were sold out, and then Chen Yansen's "fans" went straight to Best Buy, Wal-Mart and department stores offline to continue shopping.
Not only was Chen Yansen stunned, but even the local media in the Beacon Country were stunned. They never expected that an Asian entrepreneur whom they had never met before would have such amazing appeal in Europe and the United States.
Some people speculate that it may be because of Chen Yansen's "poor" family background that foreigners on the other side of the ocean regard him as a model entrepreneur and a miracle of the Internet age.
At this time, domestic media realized the situation later and sent interview invitations to Orange Technology's brand department. From print media to television media, to Internet portals, all used Chen Yansen's 50 billion US dollar fortune as a hot topic for hype.
For a moment, the eyes of the students of Xuyuan looking at Chen Yansen changed. In the past, they only thought that senior Chen was worth tens of billions and was close to others with his billions. Now they learned that Chen Yansen's wealth had reached a terrifying 50 billion US dollars without them noticing. They instantly felt the gap between people and the unevenness of the world.
As Chen Yansen walked around the school, he was stopped by his younger classmates more and more often, so he simply asked Lao Gao to help him find a single-family villa in Xucheng. In the past few days, he either stayed at Ye Qiuping's house or in the guest room department of the Sky Garden.
Throughout late October, Alexa smart speakers sold a total of 2 million units in Europe and the United States. Combined with previous sales, the cumulative sales reached 6 million units, with sales reaching 1.2 billion US dollars.
Seeing this, Ye Qiuping immediately released promotional materials for the Orange C series and Green Orange D series mobile phones. The photo of Chen Yansen holding the phone quickly became popular on the entire Internet.
at the same time.
Cheng Wei received Sequoia Capital, Siwei Venture Partners and IDG Capital at the Digital Valley in Yanjing to jointly discuss Didi Bike's Series A financing.
