Chapter 48 What kind of logic is this?

East of Stockholm, Sweden

Andres Ihahn was standing on the rooftop of the office of the free streaming music company SoundSky. In the distance across from him was a green spire building with a very distinctive Nordic style, but he was looking down at the phone in his hand.

He is a die-hard fan of Ibrahimovic, and his idol is the national idol of this country.

In Sweden, almost no one doesn't know Ibrahimovic, and almost no one doesn't like him.

Andres Ihahn is just one of them.

He is the chief technology officer of Soundwave, but he is not optimistic about the company's future prospects at all. Even though the company has more than six million users so far, it has been suffering from serious losses.

Among the many investors of Sheng Potian, there are many celebrities, such as Li Ka-shing, a super-rich man from Hong Kong, China.

But in Andres Ihahn's view, the company is too passive and subject to too many restrictions from record companies.

The value of the Internet lies in its freedom, but the more it develops, the more restrictions it has, and it is hobbled.

Six million users may seem like a lot at first glance, with the entire population of Sweden less than 10 million. But in today's Internet environment, the number is negligible, as so many startups have attracted hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of users all at once.

With the rise of smartphones, information is becoming more and more developed, and it is becoming easier and easier to attract users.

The prerequisite is that you must have the capital to attract users and be able to stand out in the world of massive resources.

Andres Ihane now admires the developer of this WeChat application on his mobile phone. He made good use of the shocking effect brought about by Ibrahimovic's transfer to promote this WeChat application, and this application is indeed very useful.

More importantly, it's free!

In this world, all business rules are no match for free, which is the most terrifying weapon.

With promotional marketing, the ultimate weapon of free, and the fact that the app itself is really easy to use, it is no surprise that the WeChat app can attract more than one million users in just a few days.

Even in the future, it will usher in a blowout outbreak.

Suddenly, Andres Ihahn was very interested in meeting and chatting with the WeChat startup team.

He had an immature idea, and after seeing WeChat develop the mobile phone address book user area, this idea became stronger, and he wanted to have a good talk with the WeChat entrepreneur.

Just at this moment, a message came on his WeChat mobile phone.

"Congratulations on becoming the 250th questioner at this press conference. Please prepare your questions."

After Andres Ihahn saw the message, he felt a little excited. He wanted to say a few words to his idol Ibrahimovic, but everything he wanted to say and ask had already been asked by the 249 people before him, so he didn't have any new questions.

A fresh and abrupt idea suddenly popped up in my mind, so I typed my question on my phone.

"Hello, Zlatan, I'm a die-hard fan of yours from Stockholm, Sweden, and also an Internet entrepreneur. My name is Andres Ihahn. I hope to meet the entrepreneur of the WeChat application. Can you help me with this?"

When the host sent a message inviting user No. 250 to ask a question, he immediately sent the message.

For a moment, all WeChat users around the world who were following this press conference were dumbfounded.

Who are these people?

It was agreed to be a press conference, but he already started to use connections?

Entrepreneur? You're not here to solicit investment, are you?

Does the question he asked have anything to do with Ibrahimovic?

Well, maybe it is related!

Who makes him a die-hard fan of Ibrahimovic!

In the entire WeChat world, countless users expressed their dissatisfaction with this idiot user in private chats.

Fortunately, after two hundred and fifty users, the press conference has come to an end, and those who have been able to catch up to now have at least a much higher tolerance.

However, this put Ibrahimovic, who was answering the question, in a difficult position.

When Yang Huan saw this message pop up on the screen, his first reaction was surprise, followed by a burst of laughter.

"If anyone says we are faking it tomorrow, he must be blind!"

Although this user was a bit ridiculous, at least he proved one thing, that is, the entire press conference was real.

In fact, Yang Huan had no interest in falsifying information from the beginning, because in his understanding, the cost of falsifying information was too high and it was unnecessary, so the entire press conference process was real.

Even if only one person asked a question today, he would continue with this press conference.

Fortunately, with 250 people, including more than 100 media outlets, it was a complete success.

"Master Huan." Zhu Liangcheng ran over quickly, "Zlatan asked me to ask, are you willing to meet him?"

After hearing this, Yang Huan nodded without hesitation, "Yes, of course. Not only will I meet him, but I will also pay for his air ticket and accommodation for free. At the same time, I will also invite the media to the airport to testify. Let's see if anyone dares to accuse us of fraud in the future!"

Zhu Liangcheng was a little dumbfounded. He took the initiative to ask for a meeting. It was good enough for him to meet him. He even provided free air tickets, food and lodging. This...

But since Yang Huan said so, he had no choice but to do it. He immediately ran over to reply to Zlatan, indicating that he could agree.

Ibrahimovic quickly replied on WeChat, "Andres, my friend, thank you for your support. I have not let you down. I have contacted the WeChat team and they are willing to meet with you. They will provide you with round-trip air tickets, food and accommodation. When are you free?"

Andres Ihahn was prepared to be rejected, but when he saw Ibrahimovic's reply, he was full of surprise, "Tomorrow, I'm free tomorrow."

"Old Pig!" Yang Huan immediately called Zhu Liangcheng when he saw the reply.

"Master Huan, what do you want me to do?"

"Go and arrange a first-class flight for him to Southampton tomorrow, with accommodation and meals in a five-star hotel."

When Zhu Liangcheng heard this, he made a bitter face and wanted to say, this is too extravagant.

But in the end, knowing Yang Huan's temper, he didn't say anything more and immediately agreed to do it.

Huang Ying was puzzled, "Master Huan, even if you promote this person, those who don't believe in him won't believe in him either. Is it necessary? And you still provide first-class cabins and five-star hotel treatment?"

When Yang Huan heard this, he turned around and laughed, "Silly girl, you misunderstood. I never thought that everyone would believe it."

Huang Ying blushed when Yang Huan called her a silly girl. She accidentally glanced at Zhang Ning and saw that Zhang Ning looked normal. She felt relieved but muttered, "Why are you so silly?"

"Many people will believe, and many people will doubt. No matter how much you say or do, those conspiracy theorists who doubt will still find a way to question you, just like you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep."

When Zhang Ning heard this, her face turned red. She remembered the scene where Yang Huan pretended to sleep and hugged her thighs.

"I want to give those who believe in me some weapons to fight back, so that both sides can be more evenly matched and the quarrel will be more lively."

After doing so much, I spent money on a guy I've never met and invited him to travel, just to make it easier for people to quarrel?

What kind of logic is this?

…………

…………

No one knows what Yang Huan’s logic is, or whether thousands or tens of thousands of euros mean nothing to him.

Or maybe this world is never logical.

It seemed as if no one knew why such a seemingly inappropriate press conference suddenly became the hottest topic and talk on the Internet and the focus of major portals around the world.

This press conference, held for the transfer of the world's top center forward, was completely detached from football, and even from the field of sports. It became a hit before anyone could figure out what was going on!

All the traditional media reporters who attended this press conference had mixed reactions to it.

Some people think this is an innovation and a successful press conference because more than one million people attended the press conference, there were 150 media outlets, and almost every media outlet had the right to ask a question.

This is unthinkable in a traditional press conference.

In traditional star transfer scenes, the one with the largest number of people was Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid, but he only attracted 100,000 fans to the Bernabeu Stadium.

But now Ibrahimovic's transfer has attracted more than one million people to watch on the Internet.

Of course, some people also think that this was a failed press conference because it lasted too long. Although the total number of users reached one million, how many users followed it from the beginning to the end? How many users left within a few minutes?

Moreover, compared with the traditional press conference, this was not so much a press conference about Ibrahimovic's transfer as it was an interaction between the Swedish center and his fans, or even a personal show by Ibrahimovic blasting Barcelona.

Success and failure, this is a difficult problem that is difficult to define and even impossible to reach a consensus on.

But one thing is very clear, that is, with the help of this press conference, the number of WeChat users successfully exceeded two million, and after the press conference, with the extensive publicity and promotion in major traditional media, portals, as well as Facebook and Twitter.

When Yang Huan woke up the next morning, Zhu Liangcheng sent a message on WeChat, and the total number of users successfully surpassed WhatsApp, reaching 3.5 million.

At this time, it was less than five days away from the official release of WeChat.

Everyone is crazy, the whole world is crazy!

No one knows what the reason is behind this app, which has only been launched for five days, and has won such amazing popularity among users.

Especially in Silicon Valley, all entrepreneurs and investors find this incredible.

You know, Twitter, which now has 200 million users, was launched in 2006, but it took two full years until 2008 for the number of Twitter users to exceed one million.

But it took WeChat less than a week to have more than 3.5 million users. If it continues to maintain this vigorous development momentum, how terrifying and amazing will its future become?

But the surge in users also brought troubles.

Less than five hours after the press conference, Canadian company RIM announced that it would remove the WeChat app from the BlackBerry device app store, ending the app's five-day journey on the BlackBerry platform, citing suspected violations of user privacy.

But everyone knows that this is because WeChat is so popular and BlackBerry itself has a similar application product, BBM.

However, being removed from the BlackBerry platform has no impact at all on WeChat.

Apple and Android platforms are the focus of WeChat's efforts.

As for a small character like BlackBerry, Yang Huan didn't even want to pay attention to it.

It's a loss of status!

In addition, some investors said in interviews with the media that although the strong rise of WeChat is amazing and eye-catching, it will be a difficult question for this startup company to maintain its business if it is free.

"The huge data traffic generated by this type of service requires a very high number and quality of servers, which requires this startup company, which has not even a name yet, to have a lot of financial support and investment."

"At least, WhatsApp's servers just recovered from an eight-hour outage, but it lasted less than an hour before it was paralyzed again. This in itself is enough to prove the high barriers to entry for such applications, especially the capital investment requirements."

“And this is precisely the biggest challenge facing all startups.”

But no matter what, whether it is support or praise or criticism, the tsunami caused by this press conference is still continuing.
