The Wolf of Los Angeles.
Chapter 317 Dream Internet Home
After making a good plan, Hawke's shell company registered overseas had absolute control over the Cayman Islands investment company newly established by Bart and Neville. The latter put out 200 million US dollars for investment in advance, and Zuckerberg invested in technology and programs. A brand new Internet company was established in Cambridge.
Relying on Harvard University's student resources, Zuckerberg recruited nine developers to build the server network and develop and design the website.
The website was named "Sugar Baby" according to the plan given by Hawke.
In the future, some users of the website will be divided into two parts, the original users are called Sugar Baby, and the subscribed users are called Sugar Daddy.
Sugar babies and sugar daddies are a perfect match.
Those who understand will naturally understand the relationship between the two.
With the establishment of the "Tangbao" company, the corresponding restrictive clauses officially became legally effective.
As shareholders and founders of the company, even if the three of them withdraw from "Tangbao" company and sell their shares, they are not allowed to engage in the online media industry within ten years.
Before leaving Cambridge, Hawke met with Bart and Neville in person.
It was the first time for these two people to meet the real big boss.
In the reception room of the hotel suite, Hawke said directly: "You two are good at external relations and do a good job in website promotion."
Bart immediately responded, "Yes."
Hawke said calmly: "If this website is done well, it may not be as good as Twitter, but it is still possible to achieve a market value of over one billion US dollars."
Neville was in high spirits: "We will close all other businesses and focus on the construction and development of the Sugar Baby website."
Hawke asked, "Any ideas for promotion?"
Bart glanced at his boss and thought of Twitter's development process. He said, "We have considered inviting female celebrities from the Holy Valley to join us. This will attract a group of male users, and then increase advertising efforts. But it is still a bit difficult to develop quickly just like this."
Neville continued, "Such a website model will be imitated by others. If we cannot grab the absolute advantage resources in the early stage, once someone spends a lot of money to compete, the development of Tangbao may be hindered."
The two echoed each other, and Bart added: "Saint Valley actresses are still less attractive. After all, they are professionals and have too many ways to see relevant content. In this respect, they are not as good as other celebrities, such as Hollywood stars or other celebrities."
Edward next to him understood and said, "Do you want to learn Twitter's promotion model?"
Bart smiled and said: "Twitter is a formal online media, some content can't be released, but sugar babies can, such as large-scale photos and videos."
Neville said, "Boss, you know a lot about Hollywood celebrities, can you give us some pointers in this regard?"
What these two people were thinking was actually similar to what Hawke was thinking.
Hawke was well prepared. He picked up a copy of Entertainment Weekly and handed it to Bart, saying, "The movie 'Blank Girl' that was released a while ago not only won the North American box office championship that week, but also received a very strong response across the United States. It is the hottest movie in the past month."
Bart took the magazine, but what he saw were two blonde women on the poster.
Neville had seen the film and whispered, "Boss, these two women are fake. The actors who played them are two black actors, brothers Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans."
Bart's mouth twitched: "Black pretending to be white, sex change, transvestite, etc., although some people like them, they are too niche."
Neville took over again: "The Wayans brothers' movie was a big hit, and we invited him to join the website, but the cost was too high."
The two of them sang in unison, just like crosstalk performers.
Hawke quickly raised his hand to interrupt them and said, "It's not the Wayans brothers, it's Maitland Ward who plays the supporting actress."
Bart goes to look at the magazine posters, and below the two "heroines" who turned black and white by the Wayans brothers, there are two supporting actresses, played by Anne Dudek and Maitland Ward.
Hawke added: "You two are very eloquent. Go get in touch with Maitland Ward. According to the information I received, she is not opposed to works in this area. If you can get her to join the Tangbao website, it will be a very good publicity point."
Edward took out a business card and handed it over: "This is the contact information of Maitland Ward's agent and herself."
Bart put it away next.
As a normal man, Hawke was quite impressed by Maitland Ward, because there were very few people who had made a name for themselves in the regular film and television circles and then entered the Sacred Valley to work hard.
Stallone had not yet become famous when he filmed that movie, and his future was uncertain.
The situation is similar with Shae, the mistress of Tyrone in Game of Thrones, who has starred in many films.
Denise Richards, who later took her own daughter with her to become the heroine of Huang Bo's "Starship Troopers", was originally a high-class girl.
There are really too few people like Merant Ward.
Hawke remembered that this girl, who was once nicknamed Auntie Saint Valley, seemed to have gone into the adult entertainment industry before 2010.
The first show he saw related to it was a Playboy show.
Merlant Ward was born as a child star in Hollywood. She may have been tested before she became an adult and didn't care much about this aspect. Her most famous work is "Lady White", after which she basically disappeared from Hollywood.
Hawke asked Johnson's agent's wife and found out that Merlant Ward's salary for the film was only $2, without any share of the post-production revenue.
Neville placed the business card with the magazine.
Hawke then said, "Do you know Paris Hilton's former assistant Kim Kardashian?"
"Yes, I've met her once." Bart said quickly, "Kim Kardashian was on Keeping Up with Paris a few times before, but later left Paris and has been building her celebrity persona through Twitter. I heard that her late father was OJ Simpson's lawyer, and it seems that she has used this to get into the professional sports circle. I've seen gossip that Kim Kardashian is dating a sports star."
Neville asked, "Boss, do you want to invite Kim Kardashian to join the Sugar Baby website?"
Hawke said, "I am good friends with Paris Hilton and I know Kim Kardashian quite well. This woman is going crazy trying to become famous. You two should contact her and ask her if she has any videotapes like the ones with Alison Faith and Josh Hartnett."
Bart had paid attention to the selfie scandal and Paris's videotape incident and knew the appeal of such things to Internet users.
Including Kobe Bryant and Paris, Hawke has performed similar operations three times.
When it comes to public relations strategic planning, these are some old tricks, but tricks don’t have to be old as long as they are useful.
As we all know, this thing can still attract hundreds of millions of LSPs more than ten years later.
Neville asked, "If Kim Kardashian doesn't have the tape, can we talk to her and have one made?"
Hawke said: "Give it a try. If she disagrees, then look for other female stars who are very popular but have lower status. With Paris and Alison Faith as precedents, there will always be someone who wants to attract attention."
Bart and Neville took note.
Hawke looked at the time and said, "You guys are still responsible for the specific operations. Don't let my investment go to waste."
The two men escorted Hawke and his group downstairs and watched them leave in the car.
Bart said, "Let's divide the work. Mark will be responsible for building the website. Which one will you take care of?"
Neville thought for a moment and said, "It's not easy for Kim Kardashian to become famous. She doesn't have a very good path. It shouldn't be difficult for her. Why don't you go over there?"
Bart was not polite: "You go and deal with Merlant Ward, and I'll be responsible for dealing with Kim Kardashian. I hope the Sugar Baby website will be a hit."
Neville smiled: "Two shots will do."
The two men got in the car, drove to the rented office, and met Zuckerberg who was busy.
The other nine employees were also working attentively.
LSPs are willing to use up all their energy to build their ideal Internet home.
In this era, a similar website has been established by Shenggu Company, but most of them are very crude.
An interactive model like Tangbao is definitely at the forefront of the trend.
Zuckerberg has become a super old pervert in the past few months. When he saw the two people coming, he said, "I just thought of a new feature for the website."
Bart took it very seriously: "What good idea did you come up with, you super genius?"
"These past few days, I've looked at a lot of websites opened by Shenggu Company. Most of them are boring click-to-watch movies, lacking in fun." Zuckerberg's talent was fully mobilized at this time: "How about we add a custom module under the Sugar Baby Creator user?"
Neville said, "Customized video or photos?"
Zuckerberg used himself as an example: "For example, I particularly like girls wearing school uniforms or white-collar professional attire. Pretty girls wearing these clothes are much prettier than those who take them off. If a creator's figure and face meet my aesthetic standards, but I don't like their dress and clothing style, isn't it a pity?"
He gushed on: "There is a customization function at this time. I pay the creator and let the creator make the works I like according to my requirements."
"Good idea!" Bart thought more: "This is a second or third level function. Sugar daddy users on the website need to subscribe to a certain number of works of target sugar baby users before they can activate the advanced function of customizing works."
Zuckerberg agreed: "Great, great, this will increase the site's revenue."
Neville said: "The premise of these is that we need to be able to attract enough high-quality sugar baby creators to join the website."
Bart said: "As long as we can make our brand famous and the money subscribed by creators is paid on time, we can definitely attract those young girls."
Zuckerberg has experienced too many girls during this period, and has a deeper understanding of some of them: "The money that can be earned by staying up late to study and work hard can be earned by posting some special photos and videos. What do you think those girls will choose?"
Neville added: "Those girls with low education have to get up at six in the morning and work two jobs a day, and the money they earn is just enough to support their lives. If they are put in front of such a platform, I believe some people will make a choice that saves time and effort."
Bart said: "After working for a long time in a job that does not require hard work and makes money quickly, they will definitely become dependent on it."
Zuckerberg laughed and said, "Our website has a bright future." (End of this chapter)
