After being reborn, I also want to fall in love

Chapter 413 My opponent will be Facebook
The huge venue was packed with guests, and Chen Shuo was obviously the youngest among the invited guests.

There are often well-known or unknown bigwigs who come to greet Chen Shuo out of courtesy. In addition to showing concern for his career, they always ask the same questions.

"Xiao Chen, do you have a partner?"

At this time, Chen Shuo would always tactfully say that he is now at the age to work hard for his career and will not consider personal issues for the time being.

All those present were men. Although they were older, who among them had not once been a wind-chasing boy?

Everyone goes through this when they are 20 years old. Everyone knows what is going on in their minds.

Why do the older generation say in a bad mood when they see young people going out late at night: Are you out fooling around again?

In fact, the private lives of most young people nowadays are much cleaner than those of the older generation, but why do the older generation still assume that young people are fooling around?

Because they were just there to fool around.

Chen Shuo, a young man who already has billions of wealth at a young age, directly stated that he has no plans to find a partner. What does this mean?
I just looked for it for fun.

What's the point of introducing them? Who would be willing to let their daughter be played with by you?

Maybe, but this situation is unlikely to exist.

After the excitement, Chen Shuo avoided the media's attention and found Teacher Ma privately to ask him a few questions.

In the lounge, Teacher Ma held a cup of tea and joked, "We have to be sneaky when we meet. If I were a beautiful woman, there would be a real scandal."

"Thank goodness you're not."

Chen Shuo laughed and sat next to Teacher Ma.

Teacher Ma actually really admires Chen Shuo from the bottom of his heart. He is young, courageous, and good at inciting people.

People nowadays are so smart, much smarter than before.

"Tell me what's the matter." Teacher Ma put down the teacup.

Chen Shuo rubbed his hands and looked at Mr. Ma: "Do you know Zuckerberg of Facebook?"

Teacher Ma glanced at Chen Shuo and nodded slightly: "We have met privately and chatted briefly. What's the matter?"

Chen Shuo loosened his tie and said truthfully, "My short video platform will soon be launched overseas. You should have heard that the international video portal I set up in Seoul has produced several hits. It is now gaining momentum. I plan to take advantage of this opportunity to test the waters in the North American market."

Teacher Ma stared at Chen Shuo for a long time before he smiled and shook his head.

Seeing this, Chen Shuo was a little dissatisfied: "Why, do you think I am too ambitious?"

"No, I envy you for your courage and fighting spirit."

“And it delivers results every time.”

Ali also planned to develop a large entertainment industry and hired Fatty Gao with a high salary. He originally had high hopes for this "great talent".

But the facts have proved that this old guy is a weak person with only good mouth. When it comes to controlling such a large industry, he is completely clueless. After several years of efforts, it ended in a mess.

The same is true for the film industry. Every time they try, it fails. Every time they try, it fails. Damn, all those people in the domestic film and television industry are idiots who just do the work to earn a living!

As for Chen Shuo, he reached a consensus with Penguin Technology and gave up the domestic entertainment market. He took the investment from Penguin City and went to Seoul to become a local emperor. He lived a very carefree life and even set up an international video portal, where he could do whatever he wanted.

Could this be the man destined to be?
"Zuckerberg is not an easy person to deal with."

Teacher Ma said to Chen Shuo: "The way things are played in North America is different from ours. The big capitalists there have almost no constraints on what they do. They can only hinder each other."

Chen Shuo asked: "Are you envious?"

Teacher Ma: “I do yearn for it.”

See, you have already got the means to die.

Chen Shuo moved a little further away from this dangerous man.

Teacher Ma saw this and was both angry and amused: "Do you still want to hear the intelligence?"

"Yes, of course I will."

Mr. Ma crossed his legs and gently rubbed his thumb and index finger together. “As a media-controlling capital, Facebook can even interfere in elections. Its power is unfathomable, and its methods are very despicable and shady.”

Chen Shuo nodded: "I have some idea about this. Hollywood made an autobiography of him called "Social Media", which describes in great detail how he was kicked out of the partnership."

Chen Shuo felt sorry for that partner, not because they sympathized with each other, but simply because the actor was The Amazing Spider-Man: Andrew Garfield.

The protagonist later starred in Hacksaw Ridge, and his ex-girlfriend was Emma Stone.

The food is really good.

Among the several Spider-Man movies, the first one is naturally the most classic. The Amazing Chen Shuo also likes it. As for the version starring Tom Holland, it should not be called Spider-Man. It would be more appropriate to call it "Where Are We Going, Dad?"

"Yes, that movie describes it in great detail."

Teacher Ma looked at Chen Shuo and raised his finger: "As the owner of the world's largest social network, if he wants to get involved in short videos, you may not be able to resist."

"So, are you scared?"

Chen Shuo shrugged: "Why should I be afraid? I'm going to open a company in the United States, so I have to pay taxes. They have to protect me, right?"

Teacher Ma laughed, then shook his head and said, "One good thing about your generation of young people is that you have begun to disenchant with the concept of foreign countries."

This is true.

In fact, many older generations are fascinated by the beacon country, and we cannot blame them entirely for worshipping foreign things.

In that era, the sudden reform and opening up let everyone know that there was a country on the other side of the ocean where every family had a car and lived in a villa. A worker's salary could support a family of five. The material conditions were good and they could also go out to travel.

At the same time in China, most people have never even seen a Coke, and many have never seen a car in their entire lives.

The all-round crushing attack instantly shattered their ideals and beliefs.

But Hou Liangping said it well: ideals and beliefs are made of paper, and ultimately it is a problem with oneself.

If everyone worshipped foreign things, there would be no Tokyo University today.

"I'm really not scared at all."

Chen Shuo lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "If I have to say what emotion I am feeling, it would be excitement. Just like playing a game, clearing a new instance always brings a new gaming experience."

Teacher Ma asked: "What if you lose?"

"Lost?"

Chen Shuo raised his lips and said, "Teacher Liu Huan sings well. At worst, we can just start over again."

If the heart is there, the dream is there.

I'm not afraid~
Teacher Ma also told Chen Shuo some Silicon Valley gossip, which, overall, was not much different from what Chen Shuo had imagined.

Going overseas is a big event. Mimi Technology has spent millions of dollars on intelligence gathering alone, most of which was spent on building relationships. This is just a test of the waters, and there will be more places to spend money later.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. The gentlemen in the Capitol have big appetites.

Tiktok later became a hit in North America, surpassing all similar competitors to become the most popular social platforms. There is a saying that Zuckerberg, like these domestic bigwigs, did not take a fancy to the short video field at the beginning.

Actually it is not.

He went to acquire another product called Musical.ly.

The founder of this app is Chinese. It was later acquired by ByteDance for one billion US dollars and directly merged into Tik Tok, instantly gaining tens of millions of users.

This is equivalent to the initial stage of Tiktok's overseas expansion, when it spent $1 billion to acquire tens of millions of users, and then became an instant success, and it has been unstoppable ever since. Mr. Ma looked at this arrogant young man and asked, "What if it is really suppressed?"

Chen Shuo snapped his fingers and said, "Then I will go to North America and visit Capitol Hill myself."

"What's the point of doing this?"

Chen Shuo took a puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke, and said calmly: "The meaning is to let those foreign devils open their eyes and see clearly that the Chinese have completely stood up."

Teacher Ma: “.”

A young man in his twenties appeared in the Capitol in a suit and tie, speaking eloquently and debating with many scholars.

Thinking about it this way, it makes me excited.

But Mr. Ma is old and he is no longer as passionate as before.

Chen Shuo is quite confident about the success of Miyin's overseas expansion.

Because it is an indisputable fact that domestic APP innovation leads the world, and in the market competition among 1.4 billion people, none of those who can stand out are cowards.

On the other hand, people abroad are all trash, not even one who can fight.

Besides, all you need is money on the other side of the sea. If you really can’t bear it, just find someone to kill Xiao Zha.

Anyway, there are a lot of people who dislike him.

Before saying goodbye to Teacher Ma, Chen Shuo actually wanted to say: Ayun, stop it, everyone out there is your dad.

But later I thought that the half-dead Ali who respects the fate of others is a good Ali.

Don’t forget that I, Ashuo, am also running an e-commerce platform.

As he walked out of the venue, Chen Shuo saw a low-key black nanny car with its double flashes on.

The car window slowly lowered, and it turned out to be the Rakshasa giant Mikhail.

Chen Shuo looked around and walked towards the nanny car. The burly Russian bodyguard beside the car respectfully opened the door.

"Chen, try this. These are the cigars I bought when I went to Cuba a while ago."

Mikhail smiled and handed Chen Shuo a super thick cigar: "I guarantee that each one was rubbed on the plump thighs of Latin American girls. Oh, by the way, before that, I made them take a serious bath."

Chen Shuo took the cigar, put it to his nose, sniffed it, and then lit it.

He had little experience with cigar smoking and could only pretend.

Mikhail held the red wine glass and looked out the window, looking very contented: "I have been to almost all the countries on this planet, but only here can I feel the real peace and tranquility."

"The people here are well protected, so they are very measured when playing around."

Chen Shuo played with his cigar and understood what Mikhail meant: "Mr. means that North America is not safe."

"I didn't say that."

Mikhail smiled and waved his hand, looking at Chen Shuo: "But you have to be mentally prepared and tell me about your layout and plan. You know, I rejected Charlize Theron's invitation and came to you on purpose."

Charlize Theron, well, the old boy has class.

Chen Shuo glanced at Mikhail approvingly, and then said, "I will immediately acquire musical.ly, acquire tens of millions of users at once, quickly expand the market, and catch Facebook off guard."

"Chen, I knew that you knew who your biggest opponent was." Mikhail praised the young man from this great oriental country.

"Working people all over the world have the same preferences. If Miyin can succeed in China, it can succeed in North America. Whether they are rich young ladies in Manhattan or small hooligans in Queens, they will all be my users."

"Oh, and those insignificant street thugs seem to have the right to vote, too."

“The number of people should be in the tens of millions, which means tens of millions of votes.”

“If I can subtly put something interesting in their feeds, does that mean…”

At this point, Chen Shuo laughed: "Sorry, I'm a little whimsical."

Mikhail looked at Chen Shuo strangely: "Chen, you are not fanciful. This is what Facebook does. Why can't you do it?"

The wine glasses clinked together.

Mikhail smiled and said, "Chen, maybe in a few years, your product will replace Facebook and become the most influential social media in the United States. By then, you will face the pursuit and blockade of the world's most powerful country."

"Really? Then let's fight. My ancestors have fought with foreign devils before."

Mikhail laughed and suggested, "I've been thinking recently whether I should experience a more exciting life, so I decided to go to space. This wish will come true within ten years. Maybe I can reserve a seat for you on my spaceship."

“Looking down at the earth from space, we feel that we own this world.”

"Sir, I don't want to own the whole world, I just want to be content with a small fortune."

What we are talking about now is almost all just talk.

The preliminary preparations alone will take at least half a year, and that’s assuming everything goes well.

The most important thing is to prepare the one billion US dollars to acquire muscial.ly.

Anyway, Chen Shuo doesn’t have that much money now, but after he acquires SZ Capital, he can piece together some from here and there and it will be almost enough.

As I said, which good person would start a business with his own money?

They all use other people's money to achieve their own dreams.

In the classroom, Chen Shuo's mind was filled with these things. He held up his jaw and stared at the leaves outside the window in a daze.

Bai Zhuang beside him was in the same posture.

"Ugh"

"Ugh"

At almost the same moment, they both sighed in unison.

Bai Zhuang looked at Chen Shuo in surprise: "A Shuo, I didn't expect you to be worried too."

Chen Shuo nodded: "Yeah, it's been quite annoying lately."

"Then let's exchange our troubles. Maybe we'll feel better if we talk to good friends."

Chen Shuo thought this proposal was great, so he said, "Miyin is currently preparing for overseas expansion. I want to acquire an overseas platform that has great potential, but it will cost 1 billion US dollars."

Bai Zhuang: "."

Chen Shuo continued, "The company's personnel structure is now complete, but those executives have forgotten the hard times we had together and have started to live a life of luxury. The annual income of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions is not enough for them. They are overstaffed, fawning on others, and the gifts they give me are getting more and more outrageous."

"I have reliable information. Several senior executives who have good relationships with me are planning to give me a private jet. I know what they are thinking. The senior executives who joined later need a vice president position to speak for them."

"Domestic business is also very difficult. For example, the e-commerce platforms, such as Ali, Jindong, and other large and small platforms, are extremely competitive. I am worried about the money they are spending."

"In the food delivery business, Meituan is madly trying to seize the market. In second- and third-tier cities, there are almost daily confrontations between two food delivery companies. The public relations costs alone are astronomical."

Chen Shuo finished speaking in one breath, then looked at Bai Zhuang with satisfaction: "As expected, it feels much better after talking about your troubles."

"Xiaobai, what is bothering you? Tell me." Chen Shuo looked at Bai Zhuang with a smile.

Bai Zhuang pursed his lips and blinked rapidly: "I, um... what are we having for lunch?"
