My Age of Investment

  Chapter 129 Principal, I don’t want to study anymore (first order)

   "Principal, I don't want to study anymore."

  After settling down, Xia Jingxing went to the principal’s office to find Old Man John. The other party was happy when he heard the first sentence.

   "Darren, hold on again."

  The old man John smiled and said, “You and Little Dog’s investment immigration application materials have been handed in. I have entrusted a friend from the immigration bureau to expedite the processing, and there will be news within a few months.

  You are currently on an F-1 visa for international students. If you drop out of school, you have no reason to stay in the United States. "

"Oh, that's how it is!"

  Xia Jingxing shrugged, "Well, then I will be in prison for a few months."

   "Daren, is it so uncomfortable? University is like going to jail?"

  Xia Jingxing nodded.

  He really has this kind of experience. For him, reading has become dull.

  Going to lectures, classwork, and exams every day is completely perfunctory.

  Moreover, it’s still a delay. Facebook's development has already taken a highway.

  If he is half-hearted at this time, he might overturn the car.

   "The data of Datingyou.com is very close to us. We must join Facebook full-time as soon as possible to win this crucial battle."

   Listening to Xia Jingxing's mention of Dating.com, the old man John's face became three-pointers serious.

  He reminded Dai Lun and their three founders before that they must be wary of this competitor.

  Sure enough, now his predictions are beginning to come true.

  He has no intention of arguing between right and wrong. The first thing he needs to do is how to make Facebook beat this competitor.

   "I intend to let the technical team develop a Facebook "high school version" to penetrate young people."

  Old John frowned, "Just a high school version, how many students are there in high school? At most, double the target market to more than 30 million people."

   "There are more than 30 million people, which will put new tests on our team and product functions."

  Xia Jingxing said with a smile: “The United States currently has a population of only 290 million. After deducting some elderly people who are not accustomed to using the Internet, there are only more than 100 million Internet users.

  If we can win high schools and universities and stabilize our basic disk, then we can start to grab users directly from other websites. "

  Old man John said lightly, “I’m afraid that people will be bigger than Facebook by then, and in turn will grab your users.”

   "It is possible, but it is unlikely."

  Old man John raised his hand and motioned to Xia Jingxing to continue speaking.

  "Mr. Hennessy, you don’t think that Dating.com has no challengers, do you?"

   "Yes, but all challengers are not in the climate, and the development of Diaoyou.com is the best."

  Xia Jingxing nodded and admitted, “This is a fact, but being ahead for the time being does not mean that you will always be ahead.”

  "Diaoyou.com users have developed to Asia, Southeast Asia, do you know?"

  Old man John looked complicated, "This is the first time I have heard of it, how did you know?"

   "Amazon is now on the same boat as us, so it will naturally inform us."

  Old man John nodded, acquiescing to the authenticity of the information.

  "How did they develop to Asia? They started internationalization so quickly, are they not afraid of a crash?"

   Although the old man John kept calling Xia Jingxing and others "expand-re-expand", he did not fail to see the pressure on management and technology caused by excessive expansion.

  When I heard that Dating.com has developed to Asia, the first thing that comes to my mind is not that there are too many opponents, but that the pace is too big to get involved.

  “Dating.com is very popular among Asian Asian circles in California, especially Filipinos.”

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, “Since you reminded us, we have been paying attention to the every move of Diaoyou.com.

  We discovered that some Filipinos brought this website to their Philippines and introduced it to their relatives and friends.

  You can chat online through the dating network to see each other’s lives. "

  Old man John frowned, "According to you, Dating.com should be very popular with Asians?

  In other words, their website design and functions are very in line with Asian aesthetics. "

"maybe!"

  Xia Jingxing said nonchalantly, “Because we have not promoted to Asians, we have no way of judging it.”

  "They ran ahead of you. Maybe Facebook will be met with great resistance if it promotes to Asia in the future."

  Old man John looked far away, thinking about things in a few years.

   "Yes, it may cause some problems for our international expansion."

  Xia Jingxing went on to say: "But now turn your gaze back to Dating.com. They will face many challenges."

"for example?"

  "If Diaoyou.com is operated across borders and continents, this requires that the website must support multiple languages ​​and fulfill this requirement on the same global website and user experience.

  This is not an easy task and requires a lot of energy.

  If Diaoyou.com is involved in this matter, then the US domestic market may be dangerous.

  Without us playing, someone will naturally challenge its position. "

  The website supports multiple languages. After more than ten years, it is basically the standard configuration of multinational Internet companies.

  But at the moment, it is not too easy.

  If it is a portal news website that supports multiple languages, it is easy. After all, things are “dead”, and there are a lot of user interaction behaviors on SNS websites. This is “live” and the difficulty is even higher.

  Xia Jingxing makes Facebook grow obscenely, not because he is afraid of anyone, but because he is afraid that his steps will hurt.

  Old man John thought for a while, and said: “Perhaps it is possible to build a localized website for each country.”

  Xia Jingxing nodded, "This is indeed a way, but the new problem is here again? What about international friends?

  A Filipino living in the United States must register two website accounts, one to chat with American friends and the other to chat with relatives in the Philippines.

  Moreover, there are more than 200 countries in the world, more than 7,000 languages, and an international website has thousands of sub-stations?

  Isn’t that going back to the Huiduo Internet era more than ten years ago? "

  Old man John nodded, "You are right, to maintain influence and international dating functions, you really have to maintain a whole.

  Even no matter how difficult the multilingual support function is, you still need to overcome it. "

Xia Jingxing smiled. This is a lesson learned by countless social giants in the past: social networking sites do not need to be localized, they should be globally unified. Although the political culture of each country is different, SNS is used to make friends, and the same system is used for different cooperation. The language is enough.

"Besides."

  Old man John was stunned, "More?"

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "The drawbacks or challenges are more than that."

  "With the increasing number of Asian users of Dating.com, the number of website visits will start to rise every night in the United States.

  At this time, it happened to be daytime in Asia.

  Once the user base shifts to Asia, this company smaller than ours will face both technical and management challenges.

  In fact, it is not only them, but also large companies that operate transnationally. "

  Old John smiled, "This is just your guess? What if their user growth is mainly in the United States?"

  Xia Jingxing spread out, "Of course, this is just an assumption, the possibility is very high, and it does not mean it will happen.

  What we should do more is to focus on our own user growth.

After the university market and the high school market have formed an advantage, we will also move out of the United States. "

   "Oh, where are you going to push it?"

   "The Eye Cover Alliance! Oh, and add Lao Mo, they are basically not separated from the United States."
