The world is in trouble

Chapter 149 Qualitative Climax! Bubble and Lian Yi

Is Lin Xiao feeling pressured?
Yes, and it’s very big.

He is a typical idealist who likes to take the road not taken.

Was he successful in his last round of entrepreneurship?
Judging from the results, he was definitely successful, after all, he sold it for 1000 million US dollars.

But judging from the achievements, it is not very successful. Although this is also within his expectations, under the existing hardware conditions, live broadcasting is impossible, and chatting in the last life is almost the ceiling.

Of course, under his powerful operation, the Yangyang live broadcast room broke through this ceiling fiercely and achieved a small miracle.

But in terms of business model alone, it was not successful.

However, some people tried to copy Facebook in China but failed.

Lin Xiao summarized their mistakes and constructed a path that he believed was the right one.

But... this path has not been verified.

And now, it needs to be verified.

Outside, hundreds of people were already waiting for him.

Facebook’s Aurora University headquarters has also been newly renovated.

The outside was also filled with flower baskets and colorful balloons, as if the business had just started today.

Dozens of schools and hundreds of part-time college students are ready to go, just waiting for his order to rush into various schools and start the second battle on Facebook.

They have been trained many times, and the training materials were written by Lin Xiao himself.

The person who trained them was Feng Xian.

Because he is the best at motivating people.

He had the most blind admiration for Lin Xiao, and he was full of confidence that he would win this battle.

The national conditions of China and the United States are different, which means that many things will be different.

Lin Xiao said that the different number of personal computers owned by the two countries does not matter, and it may not even be a bad thing. On the contrary, it is a good thing because Internet cafes promote social interaction.

After all, when we first started chatting on QQ, it was in an Internet cafe. If you were left alone chatting on QQ quietly on your own computer at home, you wouldn’t be in that atmosphere.

But the lack of one thing is somewhat fatal.

That's the lack of digital cameras.

As a result, only a few people were able to take photos and show themselves.

Of course, there are slightly better ones.

Digital cameras can be borrowed from each other within the university, and many people use the cameras in Internet cafes to take photos directly.

But at the end of the day, it’s hard for most people to post photos on a daily basis.

So where does the breakthrough come from?
Community!

Historically, FACEBOOK only launched its social function in 2007.

One is to increase stickiness, and the other is to deliver advertisements accurately.

However, the social functions launched by Lin Xiao may be slightly different.

It is more like a combination of two future killer applications in China.

QQ chat group.

Post it!

Baidu's Tieba will not be launched until December next year, and QQ's chat group will not be launched until many years later.

This is currently Lin Xiao’s killer weapon for promoting social interaction.

It’s just in time for the official launch of the School Beauty and School Husband PK Competition.

In order to canvass votes, these school beauties and school hunks will take the initiative to set up communities and bring in their potential fans.

Of course, various class groups, department groups, and college groups will be born.

Nowadays, most online chat rooms are topic-oriented, such as emotional chat rooms, entrepreneurial chat rooms, game chat rooms, etc.

The chat group for acquaintances is blank.

And the chat group among acquaintances, at least at the beginning, will burst with great vitality.

When each group is first established, there are often 999+ messages.

The community can also be built by users themselves.

Build a community for whatever topic you want to discuss.

To be precise, it is to replace the existing BBS.

After Baidu Tieba came out, it almost swept away everything, except for a very few personalized BBSs with strong stickiness. I don’t know how many forums died.

Of course, all of this is just conception and requires a lot of hard work.

Now, the new version of Facebook has been built.

It is divided into several columns, including public area, personal homepage, photo wall, community and application.

There is currently only one Plants vs. Zombies app.

The second target software is Qianqian Jingting, which has already been developed, but has not yet become popular. Lin Xiao plans to acquire it directly and recruit this talent.

The third target software is the genius Wang Xin, who is deeply missed and mourned by countless netizens, another Wang Xin.

Play now!

It’s just that Wang Xin is now starting a business in Shenzhen. After his business failed a few years ago, he joined Shanda.

In short, Facebook’s goal is to become a giant social ecosystem.

In this respect, the PC era seemed tailor-made for it.

Of course, all of this was Lin Xiao’s idea.

None have been verified.

And this second battle will verify the power of the community.

………………

Seeing Lin Xiao sitting in front of the computer in a daze, it seemed as if he could feel his pressure.

Xia Xi walked over and rubbed his head gently.

Hug him gently.

Lin Xiao was sitting and she was standing.

"Ideas that have not been successfully verified are just fantasies." Xia Xi said slowly: "But I think your idea is very good, and I think we will succeed."

"You are an idealist, you are an excellent commander, and I have never believed in you as much as I do now."

"Everyone outside is waiting for you!"

"Almost, time to go out."

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and rubbed his face.

Then, push the door open!

Outside, hundreds of eyes were staring at him.

There was no room in the office, so many people stood outside.

Lin Xiao didn’t know most of these hundreds of people.

Only know a small number of people.

Zhu Hongbin, several of his roommates, a few people from the gaming club, and senior sister Guoguo from the law school.

There are several people in Jiang Lier’s dormitory.

Huh?
The senior sister next to the country boy Li Zhongtian is pretty good.

Very charming.

Damn, you, a country dog, have been with me for so long that your standards have become so high.

Outside, there were all kinds of flower baskets.

And the most eye-catching one was actually sent from Lingxi Island next door.

Since the other party has chosen to cease fire, it is time to take a higher stance.

“Life is made up of many fragments of memories.”

“The memories of yesterday make you who you are today.”

"Today's memories determine tomorrow's life."

“Life is born lonely, just like a train to heaven. Along the way, there are people getting on and off, some people stay with you for a long time, and some people stay with you for a while.”

“So there is the fatalism that people are born alone.”

"I don't agree with that."

"Everyone will have a mirror image in another person's life."

"We are like children picking up shells on the beach, except that we are picking up fragments of memories."

"And I hope that Facebook can become this most dazzling beach, with countless shells and countless fragments of memories on it."

Lin Xiao paused.

A countdown appeared on the big screen.

five four three two one!

Lin Xiao tapped on the keyboard.

The new version of Facebook is officially launched.

“I declare that the second battle of Facebook has officially begun!”

Next.

Warm applause and cheers from hundreds of people.

In Lin Xiao's ears, everything seemed to have turned into silence.

Hundreds of promoters left the Facebook headquarters of Aurora University and dispersed to various universities.

It was as if soldiers and officers rushed into the battlefield.

………………

And as the commander of this battle.

In Wang Xing's opinion, he should plan and strategize in the command room and defeat the enemy.

But the result... was not.

Lin Xiao took him with him like an ordinary promoter.

Go deep into each dormitory.

One class at a time.

Promote new Facebook features.

Promote the talent show PK event for school beauties and school hunks.

Nothing sensational.

There is only lobbying and explanation after explanation.

For example, the girl in front of me is from the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, majoring in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, a typical upper-class class.

She is the only girl in the class.

Lin Xiao was introducing the entire event to her in detail.

"I don't want to participate." Fang Qin, the only girl in the class, shook her head.

"Because I feel that the victory is unfair. There is only one girl in our class. It feels like I got a cell phone for nothing."

Lin Xiao said: "Mr. Fang, if you don't want to be exposed and are afraid that it will affect your peaceful life, then I fully support you not to participate."

"But if you are worried that you may not win fairly, and you really want to participate, then I really hope you will participate."

"Because your participation is not giving yourself a chance, but giving the boys in your class a chance."

"You can tell everyone that there are still women in some fields."

"The School of Engineering, mechanics, aircraft design, etc., which are considered to be off-limits for girls, are not really off-limits."

“Your presence proves that girls are also working hard to climb the aerospace industry.”

After hearing what Lin Xiao said, the girl named Fang Qin fell into deep thought.

"Let me think about this for a moment, okay?"

Lin Xiao said: "Of course."

As soon as Lin Xiao left the class, dozens of boys in the class immediately rushed over.

"Fang Qin, join in, join in."

"All the boys in our class support you and will do our best to support you to the end."

………………

Department of Philosophy, Li Ning.

She is very beautiful, and has an indescribable temperament, a real scholarly air.

However, she is very thin and white.

Seeing Lin Xiao in front of her, she felt a little uneasy, like a frightened little rabbit, and defensively put the book in front of her chest.

You can tell at a glance that this girl has been in a world of her own for a long time.

Afraid of all outsiders.

Lin Xiao originally wanted to persuade her to participate in the school beauty PK competition.

But, in the end, no words were spoken.

"You can also read on the balcony, where you can get some sunshine."

"Getting more sun is good for your spirit."

It's obvious that this girl is suffering from mental breakdown.

Because her skin was unusually white and she was too thin.

"Aren't you here to promote the school beauty contest on Facebook?" Li Ning suddenly said.

Because Lin Xiao was wearing the Facebook uniform.

Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "You are not suitable to participate. Your mental state is not suitable for intense ups and downs."

“Why did you choose the philosophy department?”

Li Ning: "I like painting, but I feel like I'm getting worse at it, so I want to find inspiration elsewhere."

So you came to study philosophy?

Oh, I remember.

This is a true champion in the liberal arts college entrance examination. Lin Xiao asked, "Have you found it?"

Li Ning shook her head and said, "No."

Not only did I not find it, but my mind became increasingly empty.

She didn't know what state she was in. She felt like she was floating in the air, and when she slept she always felt like she was falling.

So after sleeping for a few hours, I would wake up and my sleep would be very poor.

There is only a fine line between genius and madness. Most geniuses cannot make it out of it and will only waste their time in the spiritual world.

"Do you want to work in our company? Part-time is ok." Lin Xiao.

"Me? I only know how to draw."

Lin Xiao said: "It means I want you to draw the art design for the game."

"Is it the kind from Plants vs. Zombies?" Li Ning asked.

Lin Xiao said: "More and more complicated designs."

“Unverified results will lead people to self-doubt and internal consumption.” Lin Xiao said, “If you think it’s too painful to work behind closed doors, why not step out a little and let your work be praised by ordinary people.”

Li Ning stared at Lin Xiao in a daze.

She was not actually looking at Lin Xiao, but was lost in self-reflection.

"I, I'll think about it." After a long while, she spoke.

"it is good."

………………

In the following time, Lin Xiao was always on the front line.

Instead, it was Xia Xi who was in charge of the command room.

Wang Xing asked while eating his lunch box: "Boss Lin, I don't understand. You are obviously the highest commander of the Facebook campaign. Why don't you stay in the command center, but go deep into the front line?"

"This battle is crucial, and it may even determine the success or failure of Facebook. Aren't you worried if you don't lead the battle yourself?"

Lin Xiao looked at the person in front of him.

This person is very controversial. One of the reasons is that he has a typical elitist mindset and sees people as data.

Extremely cold.

Lin Xiao said slowly: "Because I need warmth."

"As an operator, we should cherish this time when we can still go deep into the front line."

…………

Like all front-line promoters, Lin Xiao worked until about ten o'clock in the evening.

The group of people were almost exhausted.

"Let's go to the bar, let's go to the bar!" Jiang Li'er asked Lin Xiao to treat everyone so that they could go and relax.

"Okay, let's go to the bar."

Then, several girls from the Art Department surrounded Lin Xiao and went to the Wutong Bar not far from the school.

Li Zhongtian bravely said to Zhang Yin: "Senior sister, let's go together."

Zhang Yin looked at her watch and shook her head: "It's too late. I want to go back to school."

Li Zhongtian looked at Lin Xiao, then at his senior.

"Get lost..." Lin Xiao mouthed to him.

Li Zhongtian immediately said: "Senior sister, I will go back with you."

Inside the bar.

A few people drank beer and gradually became excited.

Roll the dice and play truth or dare.

In the first game, Li Duan had the smallest point score and Lin Xiao had the largest point score.

Jiang Lier asked: "Li Duanduan, do you choose truth or dare?"

Li Duanduan glanced at Lin Xiao and thought that he was a decent person and would not make things difficult for me, right?
"Truthfully."

Lin Xiao asked: "Will you become Liao Feng's lover?"

Suddenly, everyone cheered.

Li Duanduan's face turned red and she glared at Lin Xiao fiercely, "You are not a good person either."

"I don't want to, but I don't know the outcome!" She finally gave this answer.

Jiang Lier hated him for not fighting back and slapped Li Duanduan hard on the butt.

"Damn it, it's really embarrassing for us women."

In the second round, Lin Xiao was the youngest and Li Duanduan was the oldest.

Li Duanduan's eyes were full of excitement. The chance for revenge had finally come.

"Who was the object of your most recent sexual... fantasy?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience became excited.

Jiang Lier even clapped: "Li Duanduan, this is a good question, awesome."

Lin Xiao said: "I choose Dare or Dare, I don't choose Truth or Tell."

"Big dare, huh? Fine." Li Duanduan's eyes flashed with a devilish light, and he said, "Go to the door of the bar, hug the first person who comes in, and tell him that you have a round butt."

Hey!
You, a woman, are extremely weak in emotions, but very vicious in playing games.

"I'm willing to accept defeat, I'm willing to accept defeat..."

The crowd booed.

Lin Xiao came to the door of the bar and waited for the first person to come in.

I can only pray...

Forget it, it doesn’t matter who comes.

Lin Xiao was lucky, as a pretty girl came in.

He gritted his teeth, stepped forward and opened his arms: "Big adventure, so..."

The girl smiled gently, walked up to Lin Xiao and hugged him. It was obvious that she had seen this many times.

"Your butt is so nice..."

"Thanks, you too."

Lin Xiao returned to his seat.

In the third round, Zeng Yuxiu won and Jiang Lier had the lowest points.

"To tell you the truth, to tell you the truth." Jiang Li'er said, "Damn it, there's nothing I can say."

Zeng Yuxiu: "Jiang Li'er, when was the last time you masturbated?"

Suddenly, everyone at the table was about to explode.

Jiang Li'er slammed the table and said, "Last night, last night, last night!"

Damn, you're afraid that others can't hear you, right?

Say it three times?

In the fourth round, Jiang Lier won and Li Duanduan was the youngest.

Suddenly, Li Duanduan wanted to escape.

She was really afraid of Jiang Lier.

"I choose the big adventure. Jiang Li'er, please...don't be too cruel. I still want to be a human being."

Jiang Li'er's eyes were no longer demonic, they were devilish.

An idea came to her mind.

Let Li Duan sit on Lin Xiao's thighs, hook his neck and say: "Lin Xiao, I want you."

But at this time, Liao Feng, Wu Lingxi and Wu Di walked in.

Jiang Li'er's face changed and she said, "Big dare, right? Li Duanduan, shout out to Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao, I love you."

Li Duanduan couldn't shout.

Jiang Lier said to the other sisters in the dormitory, "Come on, let's all come together."

Then, the six girls from the Art Department raised their glasses and shouted to Lin Xiao: "Lin Xiao, I love you, you will succeed!"

More than an hour later.

Several people were drunk.

They returned to the school dormitory arm in arm.

Jiang Li'er put her arm around Lin Xiao's shoulders and said, "The first day's data isn't very good, is it?"

Lin Xiao nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Lier said: "Just now, I noticed the look in Liao Feng's eyes that showed he was gloating over your misfortune."

"He must be making fun of you. You spent so much money and put on such an expensive event, but the data on the first day was not good."

Actually.

The public opinion effect on the first day was very sensational.

Almost everyone knows it.

Moreover, the generosity of the rewards offered by Facebook also shocked everyone.

but……

Chinese college students are still too introverted, and there are too few pretty girls who are brave enough to come out and participate in activities.

Maybe he felt embarrassed.

In fact, many girls are eager to do this, but they are worried about being called vain and wanting to be in the spotlight.

At this time, a breaking circle effect is needed.

A school beauty who usually has a high profile, good academic performance and a good reputation publicly announced that she would participate in the school beauty PK.

At this time, Aurora University Youpin TV station was broadcasting programs.

The two most popular girls in the school appeared on the TV screen.

One is the former school beauty Ling Zhuo, and the other is the current school beauty Lian Yi.

"Lian Yi, a freshman in the Department of Finance at our school, participated in the finals of the Xinghai Cup Piano Competition a few days ago. She had a car accident on the way and injured her right foot. She could only participate in the competition with the injury and eventually won the second place in the country."

"Here, we would like to express our congratulations to Lian Yi."

Lian Yi: "Thank you, Senior Sister Ling Zhuo."

"By the way, does our previous agreement still count? I agree to be on your show, and you also agree to one of my requests?"

Ling Zhuo deliberately expressed fear: "What request?"

Lian Yi: "I want to participate in the Facebook Campus Beauty PK Talent Show, you can come too."

"I promised, so keep it."

Lian Yi had promised Lin Xiao that she would not register on Facebook.

But when she saw that the results of the first day of the competition were not very good, she could no longer sit still.

She originally just wanted to spend her college life quietly and didn't want to show up in public or be exposed.

But she knew too well how important this event was to Facebook and to Lin Xiao.

So...she stepped forward.

The next day, Lian Yi announced that she would participate in the school beauty competition.

Ling Zhuo announced his participation.

Even Li Ning, the most socially anxious student in the Faculty of Philosophy, announced that she would participate in the campus beauty competition.

The circle-breaking effect has officially taken shape.

All the top students from Aurora University have participated, so what is there to be embarrassed about for girls and handsome guys from other schools?

Almost within three days!
The number of girls and boys who signed up increased dramatically.

It was like a moment!

A qualitative change has occurred.

At the same time, Facebook announced the most important content.

The first Facebook Night event will be held, and the top ten campus beauties and hunks in the competition will attend the dinner and chat and laugh with a dozen celebrities.

The number one campus beauty will become the heroine of Lightning Entertainment’s first movie.

Afterwards, many boys and girls from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, one of the most special schools in this competition, also announced their participation in this PK competition.

Suddenly, Facebook’s second battle entered its climax.

Lin Xiao was completely excited.

Suddenly, Xia Xi called: "Lin Xiao, come back quickly."

"What's wrong?"

Xia Xi said: "Don't ask, come back and see for yourself."

Soon after, Secretary Xiao Lin also called and said, "Come back soon. An unexpected situation has occurred."

Lin Xiao quickly rushed back to Facebook’s Aurora University headquarters.

Xia Xi and Xiao Lin were both there, pointing directly at the computer screen and saying, "Look!"

Lin Xiao just took a look and his whole scalp went numb.

Xiao Momo actually appeared on the homepage.

She represented Shanghai Theatre Academy in the first Facebook Campus Beauty Contest.

There are a total of ten girls on the homepage.

Lian Yi and Xiao Momo were among them.

Particularly conspicuous and remarkable.

"Teacher Xiao suddenly joined the event, and our staff found out that she was amazing, so they pushed her to the front page." Xiao Lin trembled, "By the time we found out, it was too late."

"Do you want to withdraw?"

…………

Note: The second update is here. Today, there are still 12,000 new updates! If you have monthly tickets, please give me a few, okay?
